CHAPTER 113: CHAPTER 113: ZHANG YUYAN’S INVITATION

As Chu Chen hesitated whether to greet them or not,

a sweet voice came from not far away, "Hey, Chu Chen, you’re here too."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen knew it was Zhang Yuyan greeting him, so he hurriedly waved, "Why are you at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School?"

At this moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Chu Chen.

Even with Chu Chen’s mental resilience, he felt rather uncomfortable.

Lu Hongfei, seeing Chu Chen as if seeing a savior, quickly walked to Chu Chen’s side and whispered, "You take care of this."

With that, he turned to Zhang Yuyan with a smile and said, "You chat with Chu Chen first. If you are picking up a task, it’s best to choose a team, you can bring Chu Chen along. His strength is pretty good, should be able to help you."

Zhang Yuyan seemed unfazed, just nodding quietly.

Lu Hongfei quickly added, "Okay, I have something to do, so I’ll be going first." After saying so, he fled hurriedly.

Watching him run away so awkwardly, Chu Chen shook his head helplessly.

By now, Zhang Yuyan had already approached, and the two of them didn’t linger in the school. They walked straight out because, no matter where Zhang Yuyan went, she was the center of attention due to her looks, and he didn’t want to be surrounded all the time.

Chu Chen couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked again, "Why are you at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School?"

Zhang Yuyan had been recruited by the Five Great Daoist Schools before, all offering high conditions, yet she declined them all.

This matter caused quite a stir at the time, making many realize her frightening background.

"I’ve joined the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, " Zhang Yuyan said with a smile.

"What? You’ve joined the Cyan Dragon Daoist School too? Can I ask why?" Chu Chen asked, somewhat shocked.

"It’s not really a secret. My family protected me too well, so I have high realms but not much real-world experience. I plan to undertake some tasks at the school to gain some practical experience.

Hearing this, Chu Chen was momentarily stunned. He joined the school for its resources and nurturing.

But Zhang Yuyan told him she only wanted to accumulate some practical experience, which was quite a disparity. Sometimes the gap between people is even greater than that between people and dogs.

"What level is the contract you signed?" Chu Chen asked again.

"I remember it’s S-level," Zhang Yuyan said indifferently.

Chu Chen was once again shocked; hearing the casualness in her voice, she didn’t care about the contract level at all, which made him feel quite defeated.

"I just looked at the tasks released by the school. Are you interested in doing tasks with me?" Zhang Yuyan asked with a smile.

He was absolutely willing for an invitation from a beauty, but her strength remained a mystery, and they’ve built some friendship over time. He didn’t want to hinder her because of himself.

"Of course, I’m interested. But my strength is weak, I’m afraid it would be a burden to you." Chu Chen said, a bit embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuyan replied with a laugh, "You’re too humble. My realm right now is just Sixth Rank Soul Warrior Level, nothing as exaggerated as you think."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen looked at her speechlessly— Sixth Rank Soul Warrior Level is considered weak?

You should know that reaching his current realm involved countless battles, the dangers of which need no further mention, plus the reward from his Guardian Beast.

Today, Chu Chen’s self-confidence took an unprecedented hit.

Chu Chen could only change the subject, "What difficulty level task do you plan to choose?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuyan replied with a smile, "Temporarily a secret, I’ll inform you three days later."

Having heard this, Chu Chen could only helplessly nod his head, understanding Zhang Yuyan’s decision.

Her identity is complicated, the more information she reveals, the more dangerous it gets.

After saying goodbye, Chu Chen returned to the school.

However, Chu Chen’s arrival also attracted a lot of attention.

After all, anyone who could talk with the director and a young girl was certainly not an ordinary person.

Some have even started to inquire about Chu Chen’s background.

Chu Chen didn’t care about these actions. He directly went to the training room and began training with Lei Yao and Nirvana.

After half a month’s cultivation, the two beasts made impressive progress.

Both Lei Yao and Nirvana’s physique increased considerably, thanks in part to the food provided by the school.

Lei Yao’s realm has reached the Second Rank War General Level, largely related to the two fruits consumed in the Secret Realm. Previously ruled by the Secret Realm’s rules, its strength couldn’t advance, but now after leaving the Secret Realm, the suppressed medication effect within its body was completely absorbed.

Its combat techniques have improved significantly, and Ape Skill Fist can be executed quite effectively. With its current strength, it can easily defeat its self-care from half a month ago, and its skill "Thunder Armor" improved from Skilled Realm to Master Level, and "Thunderbolt Fist" further advanced from Mastery Realm to Minor Achievement Realm.

Nirvana’s progress is even more significant; firstly, its combat skills drastically improved, making it vastly different from before.

Secondly, Nirvana’s skill levels have greatly increased. "Jaw Scissors" evolved from Skilled Realm to Mastery Realm, "Wooden Cone," "Earth Rock Armor," and "Limb Regeneration" advanced from Entry Realm to Skilled Realm.

Lastly, Nirvana’s combat

"Wooden Cone" and "Earth Rock Armor" are not far from Mastery Realm, but "Limb Regeneration" barely entered Skilled Realm as its advancement is tough, only usable when injured or limbs are severed.

Testing proved Nirvana could perform Limb Regeneration four times, lasting longer in battle could increase it to five times.

Wood Attribute grants Guardian Beasts exceptional Life Force, allowing multiple Limb Regeneration performances, assumed Chu Chen did not use Wind of Recovery.

Adding Wind of Recovery could increase occurrences by one or two more.

Strength enhancement depends on how much damage Nirvana sustained.

Nirvana’s Combat Will deserves mention; practicing "Limb Regeneration" involves tremendous pain, endured with gritted teeth without much emotional fluctuation, capable of counterattacks even when severely injured.

This earned praise from Shu Ziyao, the Soul Master Level expert, who taught diligently,

Finally, Chu Chen himself; his realm evolved from Mid-Stage Second Rank Soul Warrior Level to Late-Stage Second Rank.

Physique fortified after the Soul Warrior Level breakthrough, physical quality now stronger than Servant Level’s Second or Third Rank Star Beasts, far exceeding ordinary people’s standards.

"Lightning Meditation Technique" achieved entry status, continuously practiced for an hour—progression implying extended future sessions.

Soul Skills improvement notable—"Light Body" and "Stone Skin" remained at Second Level, "Giant Power" and "Barrier" advanced to Second Level as well.

Unfortunately, "Soul Spike" hasn’t succeeded.

Currently, three soul lines generate, but combining them depletes soul power entirely, forming Soul Seal for "Soul Spike" demands reaching above Fourth Rank Soul Warrior Level, demanding constant soul power manipulation training commitment.
