After opening the dormitory door, Chen Zifeng had already taken the purple chrysanthemum in his hand and examined it carefully. Even Zhao Xin's return did not attract his attention.
Zhao Xin moved closer to Chen Zifeng and observed with him. Without the barrier of the exhibition stand, he could feel the magical herb up close and appreciate its magic even more.
This purple chrysanthemum is indeed a spiritual herb worth 60,000 gold soul coins. Just by placing it in the dormitory, the fragrance of the purple chrysanthemum made Zhao Xin and the others feel refreshed, and they felt that the fatigue brought by absorbing whale glue yesterday had dissipated a little. The faint purple halo revealed a sense of luxury and grace, and there was a hint of ethereal air in the warmth and comfort.
"I'm back, let's start." Zhao Xin whispered.
"Yeah." He had been observing this purple chrysanthemum in the dormitory for more than an hour. The more he looked at it, the better he felt about it.
Chen Zifeng plucked the petals of the Purple Spirit Chrysanthemum one by one and put them into his mouth. A strong medicinal power burst out from his stomach, and the energy contained in it began to rhythmically beat along with Chen Zifeng's breathing, allowing Chen Zifeng to gradually enter a strange feeling as if he was in a state of meditation.
Suddenly, Chen Zifeng's entire body was illuminated in lavender. A thick and heavy warm air rose and surged. Chen Zifeng let out a long breath, which was like a comfortable moan. He just stood there with his eyes closed. He seemed to be enjoying the fusion process.
Zhao Xin could clearly feel that Chen Zifeng's soul power was rising rapidly, and his body was gradually covered by the purple halo. In the end, Zhao Xin could not see through it. Since Chen Zifeng's breath was stable, Zhao Xin ignored him.
Chen Zifeng absorbed the Purple Spirit Yunju much more smoothly than he had imagined. It was still dark outside, and it took him only three hours to absorb the entire spiritual herb. When the last ray of purple light completely entered Chen Zifeng's body, the absorption process ended.
Zhao Xin did not sleep all night. While protecting him, he was also studying the books on fourth-level soul engineers. Because Zhao Xin had already passed the third-level soul engineer assessment before the holiday, he was now preparing to practice the fourth-level soul guide.
"Hu——" Chen Zifeng took a long breath and slowly opened his eyes. The blood-red light in his eyes flashed and disappeared.
Zhao Xin felt that Chen Zifeng's temperament had changed a lot compared to before. Before, it might be because of his martial spirit that Chen Zifeng gave people a sharp and low-key feeling. After absorbing the Purple Spirit Yunju, Chen Zifeng became a little indifferent and low-key, as if the sword had been sheathed, but it gave Zhao Xin a more dangerous feeling.
"How is it?" Zhao Xin asked hurriedly.
"Half done." Chen Zifeng felt a little disappointed.
"Half? What does that mean?" Zhao Xin was a little confused.
Chen Zifeng's expression returned to normal. "The Purple Spirit Yunju I took increased my soul power by one level, but the transformation of my martial soul only reached the level of a half-step top martial soul."
"Don't be too depressed. Do you think top-level martial souls are easy to come by and can be found anywhere? Once you absorb a few more spirit rings that match your martial soul, you may have a chance to take that half step forward." Zhao Xin comforted.
"Indeed, reaching this point has already fulfilled my expectations." Chen Zifeng suddenly laughed.
"Let me see your martial spirit."
"Soul-chasing sword," Chen Zifeng shouted, and a thin sword about three feet six inches long and only an inch wide appeared in front of the two. There was no hilt on the slender sword, but there were three blood grooves on it. The blood-red light on the sword disappeared at this moment, revealing the original silver-white sword body. The bloody smell that Zhao Xin had smelled seemed to have disappeared.
"After my Soul-Chasing Sword was refined by Zi Ling You Yun Ju, all of the blood-colored sword light from before was integrated into the sword body, and the lethality of the Soul-Chasing Sword increased significantly. Of course, I can use my soul power to stimulate the sword light to penetrate the sword. The biggest change is that when my Soul-Chasing Sword hits an enemy, even the enemy's weapon spirit can absorb the opponent's soul power and feed back to itself." Chen Zifeng introduced the changes of the Soul-Chasing Sword. In short, his martial spirit has made great progress.
"Oh, then you also have a means to consume your opponent." Zhao Xin was very happy for Chen Zifeng after hearing this. With this passive skill of his martial soul, Chen Zifeng was finally not afraid of defensive soul masters anymore. Even if the opponent had a turtle shell on his head, he could use this passive skill to consume the opponent to death.
"Yes, and I'm about to break through the third ring." Chen Zifeng told another good news.
Zhao Xin attacked without hesitation: "I'm already level 43. You should start practicing."
"I won't compete with a pervert like you. I've been absorbing for such a long time, I need to take a break." Chen Zifeng lay down on the bed and closed his eyes without waiting for Zhao Xin to reply.
Zhao Xin was a little surprised, "I haven't slept for more than three hours for you, and you fell asleep first? Chen Zifeng, if I protect you like this next time, I will run ten laps around Shrek City." Zhao Xin was so angry that he jumped up and down and swore in the dormitory.
"I fell asleep and couldn't hear you." Chen Zifeng's voice was heard.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow when you wake up." Zhao Xin also lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Zhao Xin pulled Chen Zifeng, who was still in a daze, out of the dormitory.
At Shrek Academy, the older you get, the more intense the academic workload becomes.
Starting from the second grade, the academy will open the fighting spirit area and the fighting beast area to students. Students pay a certain amount of money to enter to watch or fight. Students will enter to fight sooner or later because this is the academy's requirement for admission.
It has been a while since Zhao Xin entered the second grade, and he has never been to the Fighting Spirit Area to fight. Today, he wants to take Chen Zifeng to experience it. Of course, whether Chen Zifeng is willing or not is not something he considers. He is only responsible for taking people there, not considering the mood of the person concerned.
The Fighting Soul Area is a very important area in Shrek Academy. It is located in the northwest corner of the Wuhun Department, close to Shrek City, and not far from the Soul Guidance Test Area that Zhao Xin had visited before. This is also a place that many senior students often visit.
Here, various competitions can be held, and there are special teachers as referees, who are responsible for judging the winners and losers, protecting the students, providing assistance, treatment, etc. Of course, these are all charged.
To participate in a fighting spirit competition, both parties must pay at least ten gold soul coins as venue fees. However, many students still enjoy it. Because there are no restrictions on fighting here, and there is no need to worry about the danger of hitting too hard. The teacher who serves as the referee will grasp the scale very well. At the same time, winning the fighting spirit area competition will earn certain credits, and there will be certain extra points when taking the grade exam.
The competition in the Fighting Spirit Zone is open to all students, but the prerequisite is payment. A ticket fee of one Silver Soul Coin is required.
The fighting area is open every day after school until midnight. Students who want to fight need to pay and register first. If the two contestants are relatively famous students in the academy, the academy will broadcast the battle for free through the soul guide loudspeakers in each dormitory area to attract more people to watch. The academy will collect half of the ticket fee, and the other half will go to the winner of the game.
There were not many people in the fighting spirit area at this time. There were two students fighting on the competition stage. From their school uniforms, it could be seen that they were fourth-year students. In Shrek Academy, first-year students wore white school uniforms, second- and third-year students wore yellow school uniforms, fourth-year students wore purple school uniforms, and fifth- and sixth-year students wore black school uniforms.
When Zhao Xin and the other man arrived, the fight between the two had already reached its end. One of the boys who looked more handsome was holding a bright silver spear with his third soul ring lit up. He suddenly smashed it in front of the other boy who was holding a blood-red heavy sword with the force of thunder.
The strong shock made the man with the heavy sword unable to move. Although he also used the third soul ring and a blood-red light appeared on his body, he still could not withstand the attack of the boy with the gun. He was swept back by him and retreated to the edge of the competition stage.
Just when everyone thought that the heavy sword boy was going to fail, he absorbed the blood around him into his body, and his previous injuries healed at a visible speed. He rushed towards the gun boy with the heavy sword in hand.
