Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

Upon hearing this, Chu Ci shrugged and said, "Alright, as your class monitor, I do need to show you what I'm capable of."

Chu Ci raised his right hand, and a long sword with a white blade and a black hilt appeared in his hand. Luo Guixing and the others stared wide-eyed at this scene.

"Tianzhu," Chu Ci called softly.

The Heavenly Candle burst from Chu Ci's hand, transforming into a divine dragon that soared above the classroom. Its jet-black scales, heterochromatic red and white eyes, and slender figure exuded an aura of dominance.

"What is this?" Luo Guixing exclaimed in surprise as she watched the sword transform into a dragon.

Wu Siduo, standing to the side, was also utterly shocked.

Chu Ci gently waved his hand, and Tianzhu transformed into a sword and returned to Chu Ci's hand.

Black light rippled across the Heavenly Candle, spreading to Chu Ci's right arm and transforming into an arm guard engraved with intricate patterns, unleashing a powerful aura.

Gu Yue stretched out her slender, fair right hand and gently stroked her right arm armor, feeling the violent energy contained within, her eyes filled with shock.

"Squad leader, can your soul weapon really compare to battle armor?" Wu Siduo carefully observed Tianzhu and couldn't help but ask, because it completely contradicted what she had learned over the past ten years.

"Of course, this was personally determined by the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion," Chu Ci replied calmly, putting away the Heavenly Candle.

"Squad leader, what's the difference between this Soul Weapon and Battle Armor?" Xu Xiaoyan leaned closer and asked.

“Soul Weapons place greater emphasis on the interaction and nurturing of Soul Masters than Battle Armor. As for other differences, you will see them later,” Chu Ci smiled slightly.

"Chu Ci, you really kept such a big thing a secret," Gu Yue said quietly.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie both nodded in agreement.

Chu Ci gave a wry smile, "The matter of the Soul Weapon is of great importance, and it was not convenient to reveal it casually when we were in Donghai City."

“That’s true. Being comparable to battle armor has a huge impact.” Tang Wulin nodded in deep agreement.

Luo Guixing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Squad leader, could you introduce me to the forger of the Soul Weapon?"

Chu Ci chuckled lightly and said calmly, "I am the forger of the Soul Weapon."

Chapter 79: Conversation with Yuan En Ye Hui, and an unexpected encounter with Yue Zheng Yu.

Upon hearing this, Luo Guixing frowned and said unhappily, "Squad leader, if you don't want to talk, then don't. There's no need to fool me like this."

Chu Ci spread his hands and said, "I'm telling the truth, and there's nothing you can do if you don't believe me."

"Hey, squad leader, do you think we have a chance to get a Soul Weapon?" Xu Xiaoyan asked with a smile.

“Of course, there are always opportunities,” Chu Ci said softly.

"Alright, we'll talk about the Soul Weapon later. You guys should discuss the mecha construction with your team members first."

After each group finished their discussion, Wu Changkong returned to continue the lesson.

After class, Chu Ci caught up with Wu Changkong.

"Teacher Wu, wait a minute."

Wu Changkong turned around and looked coldly at Chu Ci. He immediately saw through Chu Ci's purpose and spoke up before Chu Ci could speak: "First, you need to apply for resources to cultivate soul soldiers. That's fine, but you have to pay contribution points."

"What?" Chu Ci was dumbfounded.

Wu Changkong gave Chu Ci a strange look and said, "You don't think the academy will provide you with resources for free, do you? At Shrek Academy, no matter who you are, you have to exchange contribution points for resources."

"Of course, given your special circumstances, the academy will appropriately reduce some of the contribution points you need to pay."

“Alright,” Chu Ci sighed dejectedly, “I’ll go earn some contribution points.”

After lunch, Chu Ci arrived at Shrek Academy's mission hall. Students were coming and going, all there to accept missions and earn contribution points.

Chu Ci looked around the hall and quickly found his target.

At this moment, Yuan Enhui stood in front of the task list, selecting tasks. Part-time workers had few perks but many areas requiring contribution points, so they had to earn them diligently.

“Yuan En Ye Hui, I called you correctly, didn’t I?”

Yuan Enhui suddenly heard a clear male voice calling her name from behind. When she turned around, she found a handsome young man standing behind her.

Moreover, Yuanen Yehui recognized this boy; he was the Soul Sect freshman who had defeated him on the day of the entrance exam. The boy's formidable strength had left a deep impression on Yuanen Yehui.

However, "I am Yuan En Ye Hui, but how do you know my name?" Yuan En Ye Hui did not remember ever telling Chu Ci her name.

"Senior, no, senior, as a well-known genius in the second year, I can naturally find out about it," Chu Ci replied with a smile.

When Yuan Enhui heard Chu Ci change his form of address, his expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Junior, you've called me by the wrong name. I'm a boy."

Chu Ci waved his hand and said, "Senior, when I judge a person, I first observe their aura and then their appearance. Your disguise skills are not bad, but you still can't hide your feminine aura from me."

"However, none of that matters. Since my senior doesn't want it to be public, I will naturally keep it a secret for her. I specifically asked her to come here today because I want to make a deal with her."

Chu Ci raised her left hand, making a "please" gesture, and then turned and walked out of the hall.

Yuan Enhui frowned slightly, unable to figure out Chu Ci's true intentions, but because Chu Ci had the secret of her being a woman, she could only follow Chu Ci.

Chu Ci turned around and glanced at Yuan En Ye Hui, who was following behind him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

In this life, because of the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu), Xie Xie did not live in the work-study dormitory, so the dramatic story of Xie Xie wandering around and seeing a girl naked did not happen.

Since Tang Wulin and the others didn't know that Yuan En Ye Hui was a girl, could he, as the only student who knew her secret, "do whatever he wanted"?

Thinking about Yuanen Yehui, Chu Ci led her to a relatively open area by a wall.

Chu Ci took out a small box and handed it to Yuan En Ye Hui. Yuan En Ye Hui's somewhat dazed mind cleared the moment he took the box, opened it, and saw the white pill engraved with pill patterns inside.

"A third-tier Soul Nourishing Pill, priced at 3,200 contribution points," Chu Ci said quickly.

Yuan Enhui placed the pill in front of him, inhaled its fragrance, and felt the activity of his soul power. He said in a deep voice, "The academy sells it for 3,500 contribution points, but you only gave it a 300-point discount. Can you give me a bigger discount?"

"It's already very kind of me to give you a discount of 300 contribution points. I originally wanted to sell it for 3,400 contribution points, but I only gave you an extra 200 because I wanted to be on good terms with my senior."

The Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) maintained a firm stance and refused to compromise.

Yuan Enhui considered it in her mind. If the price could only be reduced by three hundred, then three hundred it would do. After all, as long as Chu Ci's Soul Nourishing Pill was cheaper than the academy's, no matter how much cheaper, someone would still buy it.

Yuan Enhui looked intently at Chu Ci and asked, "May I ask how you obtained this Soul Nourishing Pill?"

"My name is Chu Ci, Chu from the Chu Group." Chu Ci smiled brightly.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Enhui immediately and readily transferred 3,200 contribution points to Chu Ci.

……

After saying goodbye to Yuan Enhui, Chu Ci turned around and looked at the blond boy leaning against the wall not far away.

"When did the Holy Angels family develop the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"

Le Zhengyu strode over and said with a smile, "I was listening openly and honestly, so how could you say I was eavesdropping?"

"A member of the Holy Angel Family, a second-year student at Shrek Academy, Yue Zhengyu." Yue Zhengyu extended his hand to Chu Ci.

The reason why Yue Zhengyu appeared here is because he suspects that Yuan Enyehui is the evil spirit master he discovered that day, and he is specifically following her in order to find evidence that she is an evil spirit master.

But unexpectedly, he bumped into the heir of the Chu Group, which had recently risen to prominence, which was a pleasant surprise.

Chu Ci glanced at Le Zhengyu, then extended her hand to shake his. "Chu Ci, a first-year student at Shrek Academy and a member of the Chu Group."

"What's the matter? It's not that the heir of the Holy Angel family is coming to me to buy Soul Nourishing Pills, is it?" Chu Ci teased.

"Haha, it would be nice if my family gave me a third-tier Soul Nourishing Pill."

"The main reason I greeted my junior this time was to learn about Soul Weapons," Le Zhengyu said tentatively, narrowing his eyes.

Shrek Academy is only so big. The first-year students had just finished class when the news spread quickly throughout the entire academy that the new class monitor of the first year would not be involved in the mecha-making task, but would instead be cultivating something called a Soul Soldier.

The announcement of the task of cultivating soul soldiers to replace mecha production was made personally by Cai Yue'er, which means that this matter must have been discussed by the academy's higher-ups. It is basically a foregone conclusion that the soul soldiers are no weaker than battle armor, otherwise the academy would definitely not have made such a decision.

After making his judgment, Le Zhengyu naturally developed a strong interest in the Soul Weapon.

"You're already a second-year student, so you must have already made part of your battle armor. And you'd still be interested in soul weapons." Chu Ci raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected the news about soul weapons to spread so quickly.

Chapter 80: Conversation with Yue Zhengyu, Practical Exercise

Le Zhengyu explained casually, "Having battle armor doesn't stop me from being interested in soul weapons, right? It's always good to have more skills!"

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, senior. Battle armor and soul weapons are incompatible," Chu Ci said quietly.

Chu Ci discovered this after he was forging a soul weapon for his steward, Li Zonglei.

At that time, Li Zonglei deployed his Soul Weapon and Battle Armor, but as soon as he activated the Soul Weapon, the Battle Armor instantly disintegrated.

At that time, Chu Ci discovered that soul weapons and battle armor were incompatible, and there was a natural repulsion between the two. Moreover, this problem seemed to be a rule of heaven and earth that could not be solved.

"That's such a shame," Yue Zhengyu said with a hint of disappointment. He didn't think Chu Ci would lie to him about this.

“However,” Chu Ci said with a smile in his eyes, drawing out his words, “Battle armor can be reforged into a soul weapon.”

The current challenge that Chu Ci and Mu Chen are working on is to reforge the battle armor into a soul weapon. The main focus is on reforging the three-word battle armor into a soul weapon.

The purpose of this is to reduce the time that powerful Soul Masters spend cultivating their Soul Weapons. Three-word Battle Armor Masters are all Title Douluo, and there are quite a few Super Douluo. Where would they find the time to gradually cultivate their weak Soul Weapons to a level no weaker than three-word Battle Armor?

Furthermore, since Soul Weapons and Battle Armor are incompatible, once one's mind and spirit are united with a Soul Weapon, one cannot use the Battle Armor. It's not reasonable to expect a Title Douluo to fight with a level 10 lowly Soul Weapon.

To solve this problem, Mu Chen proposed the idea of ​​further processing the three-word battle armor into a soul weapon.

Because the metal soul forging that makes up the three-word battle armor already possesses a soul, it can generate strong emotions with the soul master and contains very strong energy. This energy containing emotions is also the key to the soul weapon being able to grow together with the soul master.

Mu Chen and Chu Ci wanted to use this energy containing emotions to forge a soul weapon, allowing it to grow rapidly in a short period of time and exert an amplification ability no less than that of a three-word battle armor.

Of course, Mu Chen is still researching this topic. He just sent a message yesterday saying that he would discuss this matter with the master craftsman Zhen Hua today.

"That's wonderful! I wonder if I'll have a chance to obtain a Soul Weapon?" Le Zhengyu asked expectantly, his eyes shining.

“Everyone has a chance,” Chu Ci replied politely.

"That's good. Here, let's exchange contact information so we can keep in touch." Seeing that Chu Ci hadn't completely refused, Le Zhengyu took out his phone to exchange contact information with Chu Ci.

Chu Ci readily agreed. Le Zhengyu was a direct descendant of the Holy Angel Family, which controlled the Southern Army, so it was necessary to be on good terms with him.

After exchanging contact information, Le Zhengyu transferred 3,000 contribution points to Chu Ci via his identity card.

Le Zhengyu put on a show of arrogance, patted his chest, and said generously, "Junior, please accept these three thousand contribution points as a gift for us."

With someone offering money, Chu Ci was naturally all smiles. He patted Le Zhengyu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Senior, I'll definitely get you two sheep knives when I have the chance."

Although Le Zhengyu didn't know what the Sheep Knife Chu Ci mentioned was, he figured it must be a powerful soul weapon. "Haha, then I'll wait and see."

After saying goodbye, Chu Ci, clutching the 6,200 contribution points she had just earned, ran to Wu Changkong's office.
