Chapter 2: Qi Refining Stage Completion
"Ding... Transmission of power complete. Host, please check your own attributes."
The next moment, a pale golden light screen appeared before Zhou Chen's eyes again:
[Name: Zhou Chen
Class: Plane Transmigrator
Race: Human Race
Feature: Handsome
Martial Soul: Unawakened
Strength: Qi Refining Stage Great Circle
Cultivation Method: Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon]
"Qi Refining Stage Great Circle, it sounds very strong."
Zhou Chen shook his head shamelessly. Just then, outside the room, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded, coming from far to near.
The next moment, an old man in his sixties pushed the door open and entered. His old face was full of anxiousness. The old man was tall and thin, his clothes were tidy, and his hair was combed meticulously.
"Are you alright, Chen'er?" The old man said somewhat anxiously.
"Grandpa Jack, I am fine." Zhou Chen hurriedly walked over and supported the old man.
This old man was precisely the village chief of Holy Spirit Village, Old Jack, who in the original plot of Douluo Continent sent Sea God Tang San to school and scolded Haotian Douluo Tang Hao as a waste.
"Phew... It is good that you are fine. Just now a pillar of light descended from the sky and smashed directly into your room. I was afraid something happened to you..."
Old Jack let out a long sigh and touched Zhou Chen's small head. He looked around in passing and happened to glance at the circular gap in the roof.
It seemed that it was not an hallucination just now.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, that familiar pillar of light had finally descended again!
Thinking of this, Old Jack could not help but lose his composure.
That was a night six years ago...
At that time, Old Jack, who was the village chief, was patrolling the village. Suddenly, a huge pillar of light descended from the sky and smashed straight onto a small hill nearby!
The intense bright light even illuminated the dark night into daylight!
Old Jack, having a premonition that something bad was happening, plucked up his courage to go up the mountain to check the situation for the safety of the villagers.
Then, he discovered a baby.
Later, Old Jack adopted the baby and took care of him with great care. He knew clearly in his heart that this child was definitely not an ordinary thing. That pillar of light reaching through heaven and earth was simply like the descent of a deity!
And the facts also gradually verified his guess.
This child could speak since birth and even named himself Zhou Chen. He grew up to be extremely handsome. His many miraculous points made the villagers exclaim in admiration repeatedly.
For example, the hot pot Zhou Chen invented when he was three years old.
This was a dietary method of rinsing various meat slices and vegetables in a copper pot. Coupled with Zhou Chen's secret dipping sauce, it quickly conquered the stomachs of Old Jack and all the villagers.
After this, in order to obtain ten thousand Gold Soul Coins as soon as possible to activate the system, Zhou Chen instigated and encouraged Old Jack to let him and the villagers raise funds to open a hot pot restaurant in Nuoding City, earning a lot of money.
Then, Zhou Chen copied the blast furnace ironmaking method from Earth and opened a blacksmith shop in Nuoding City. The business was also extremely good.
After that, Zhou Chen opened more than ten shops one after another. Not only was he filthy rich, but the villagers also benefited. Holy Spirit Village simply became a model of the first-rich leading the later-rich to move towards common prosperity.
Nowadays, most of the villagers had already moved to Nuoding City. Old Jack naturally also moved into the city, taking care of little Zhou Chen's daily life every day...
Coming back to his senses, Old Jack no longer mentioned the pillar of light just now. Instead, he looked at Zhou Chen lovingly and urged:
"Chen'er, in these few days, the Spirit Hall is about to hold the annual awakening ceremony. You are also almost six years old. It is time to awaken your Martial Soul."
"En, I..."
Zhou Chen was about to answer but was interrupted by a sudden crisp voice:
"Brother Chen, Grandpa Jack, are you alright?"
The two looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a thin and small figure running towards them.
This was also a child around six years old.
His skin was wheat-colored, his short black hair was quite neat, and his linen clothes were simple but clean. The most conspicuous thing was his eyes, which were unusually bright. In his eyes, there was a fleeting purple intent.
Tang Sect cultivation method, Purple Demon Eye.
That's right, this child was precisely the protagonist of Douluo Continent, the reincarnated Tang San.
Nowadays, the father and son pair, Tang San and Tang Hao, also took advantage of the east wind of Zhou Chen leading Holy Spirit Village to get rich, and moved from the village into Nuoding City.
Therefore, Tang San had always been very grateful to Zhou Chen. In everything, he followed Zhou Chen's lead, acting like he had become Zhou Chen's loyal little brother.
At this time, seeing Tang San running over in a hurry, Zhou Chen immediately revealed an enthusiastic smile: "Of course we are fine. Why, did you go for morning exercise again?"
"En, I just came back from exercising. I saw a huge pillar of light on your side, Brother Chen. I was afraid something happened to you, so I hurried over to take a look." Tang San nodded and said.
"Rest assured, we are all fine." Old Jack smiled gratifiedly and touched Tang San's small head.
"That is good."
Tang San was about to breathe a sigh of relief when his heart suddenly moved. Because he discovered that inside Zhou Chen before him, there were unexpectedly unusually active energy fluctuations!
This made Tang San stunned instantly.
One must know that the two spent time together from morning to night every day, so Tang San understood Zhou Chen's situation very well.
Although Brother Chen was peerlessly handsome and had outstanding wisdom, not looking like a child at all, which made him admire him very much. But Zhou Chen had always just had an ordinary person's body. How could there be energy fluctuations in his body?
This is not normal!
Therefore, Tang San quietly activated the Purple Demon Eye, wanting to use mental power to probe Zhou Chen.
However, just at this moment, a sword hum that seemed to exist and yet not exist was triggered from between Zhou Chen's eyebrows. Instantly, it broke Tang San's Purple Demon Eye!
Tang San gave a muffled groan and felt dizzy. Blood actually faintly seeped out from his nasal cavity!
"How is this possible!"
His Mysterious Heaven Skill had already been cultivated to the peak of the first layer, equivalent to rank 10 soul power. To break his Purple Demon Eye, one needed strength at least several times stronger than him!
Could it be... Thinking of this possibility, when Tang San's gaze looked again at Zhou Chen who seemed completely unaware, his heart was already filled with shock!
Night, inside the study.
On the desk in the room, expensive classics made of animal skins or silk were displayed, such as Conditions for Matrilocal Son-in-law of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, On How to Marry a Princess of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and so on...
That's right, Zhou Chen was already prepared to throw away his moral integrity, live off a woman, and sell his body for wealth.
He was also forced to do so. This Top-Up System was a gold-swallowing monster. Relying solely on the dozen shops Zhou Chen opened was simply a drop in the bucket. Only by living off a woman could he quickly obtain a large amount of gold coins.
However, at this time, Zhou Chen was not reading those books without moral integrity. Instead, he was seriously reading through an unusually heavy classic—Complete Explanation of Martial Soul Illustrated Handbook.
This classic recorded all Martial Souls discovered by humans in the past ten thousand years. And its compiler was the Spirit Hall, which possessed an Angel God, a beautiful Saintess, and a beautiful Supreme Pontiff!
The reason Zhou Chen studied this book hard through the night was because tomorrow, the Spirit Hall was about to hold the awakening ceremony. He did not want to be unable to even recognize his own Martial Soul when the time came.
"Creak..."
Suddenly, there was a sound at the door. Old Jack walked in hurriedly.
"Grandpa Jack." Seeing Old Jack enter, Zhou Chen immediately stood up.
"Chen'er, it is done."
Old Jack said with a face full of joy: "I found a deacon inside the Spirit Hall. He has already agreed to help you and Tang San awaken your Martial Souls separately, without queuing. One must know, that is a Great Spirit Master."
When saying the three words Great Spirit Master, a look of envy revealed in Old Jack's eyes.
"That is good. This is all thanks to you." Zhou Chen said gratefully.
On the Douluo Continent, every child around six years old could go to the Spirit Hall to awaken their own Martial Soul for free.
Although Nuoding City was a small city, there were at least several hundred school-age children every year. Coupled with the accompanying parents, the square of the Spirit Hall tomorrow would definitely be a sea of people.
Therefore, Zhou Chen, who did not want to waste time queuing and waiting, asked Old Jack to go to the Spirit Hall to find a deacon. He gave him a full twenty Gold Soul Coins to let him awaken Martial Souls for himself and Tang San separately.
