The night was cool and still, and the pale moonlight shone through the window lattice into the dormitory of the top students of the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy.
Because Meng Chen has the special identity of being the sworn brother of Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Tiandou.
The college leadership naturally dared not neglect him and specially arranged a detached villa for him.
Inside the room, Meng Chen sat on a soft couch, his fluffy golden rabbit ears drooping on his head.
He placed his hands in a mudra over his dantian, guiding the soul power within his body.
During the day at the academy, he not only had to deal with Ning Rongrong, that clingy little devil, but also had to be wary of Gu Yuena from time to time.
It was even more mentally taxing than fighting a life-or-death battle with a Soul Master.
He finally managed to get through the night and into the quiet of the night, so he could finally calmly review his cultivation progress.
However, when I focused my mind into my dantian and prepared to guide my soul power to cleanse my meridians…
“Buzz~”
The temperature suddenly dropped around the once quiet and peaceful bedroom.
A thin layer of black mist silently condensed on the walls and the ground.
The sound and even the flow of light in the entire room seemed to be frozen in that instant.
Meng Chen’s hair stood on end, and the golden rabbit ears on his head stood up straight.
Just as he was about to use teleportation to escape, the void in front of the window twisted like a torn piece of cloth.
A dark figure slowly emerged from the distorted shadows.
The person was like a ghost formed from black smoke and phantoms, with no footsteps and no heartbeat or breath of living people.
Meng Chen’s face was tense, and his eyes were fixed on the dark figure in front of him.
“Little one, don’t be afraid, I mean no harm.”
With that chilling voice, the man in the black robe slowly raised his hand, revealing a pair of withered, skeletal hands emerging from his wide sleeves.
With a flick of his wrist, a jade box bearing the dark patterns of the Twin Spider Kings floated into the air.
It landed steadily on the jade table in front of Meng Chen.
Meng Chen’s gaze fell on the unique patterns on the jade box, and a thunderclap suddenly resounded in his mind.
“Ghost Douluo?
Did Bibi Dong send you?”
Beneath the black robe, the ghost looked at Meng Chen with some surprise.
Clearly, he was somewhat surprised that the little guy had recognized him and the Pope at a glance.
“Since you recognize me, then I won’t waste my breath.”
“His Holiness the Pope knows that you urgently need the marrow of the sea dragon to temper your body, while some people who hold the power of a country cannot even find a mere thousand-year-old marrow of the sea dragon for you.
His Holiness has specially opened the papal treasury to bestow this item upon you.”
Although Meng Chen didn’t know why the other party knew what he needed, the other party didn’t seem to have any ill intentions at the moment. This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
This made him feel much more relaxed.
Just as I was about to express my gratitude, the ghost seemed to have no intention of staying any longer.
Its black robes fluttered without wind, and it transformed into wisps of black smoke, disappearing into the shadows.
Just before it dissipated, a ghostly voice echoed.
“His Majesty instructed me to convey to you that the Papal Palace’s foundation is far beyond what a corrupt Heavenly Dou Empire can match.
Take care of yourself.”
Looking at the spot where the ghost had disappeared, Meng Chen finally felt relieved.
Just kidding, that’s a Title Douluo, and a Ghost Douluo who specializes in decapitation assassinations.
However, Meng Chen was also somewhat surprised when he thought of this.
This guy risked being discovered by the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and Qian Daoliu’s spies just to deliver a package to himself.
“What on earth is this crazy woman thinking?”
Meng Chen walked to the table and his gaze fell on the jade box.
Since it was sent by Bibi Dong, he wasn’t afraid of any hidden poisons or curses inside.
Given Bibi Dong’s arrogant and disdainful personality, if she really wanted to kill me, she could have easily slapped me to death in her palace in Wuhun City.
Why go through all that trouble?
Meng Chen reached out and unlocked the jade box.
As soon as the lid was opened slightly, a light blue mist shot out.
Holy crap!
Meng Chen was startled and quickly pressed the box lid tightly shut.
Even though it was only a brief half-second of leakage, the air inside the entire courtyard was already filled with a powerful water-attribute dragon aura.
Meng Chen looked down at the tightly closed jade box, completely stunned.
The prescription he inquired about at Cixin Pharmacy required millennium sea dragon marrow.
The spinal cord essence formed after the death of the thousand-year-old sea dragon beast has a relatively mild medicinal effect.
However, the terrifying soul power that rushed out of the box just now was from sea dragon marrow that was at least ten thousand years old.
“Bibi Dong, are you out of your mind?!”
Meng Chen was so angry he almost jumped up and down.
He had only recently awakened his martial soul and was only at the level of an eleventh-level Soft Bone Rabbit soul.
Although his physical body was much stronger due to the Golden Dragon King bloodline, he was at most at the level of an ordinary Soul Venerable.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Sea Dragon Marrow contains a large amount of soul power and powerful strength.
If I dare to swallow it now, the only outcome will be that I will be burst to death on the spot by that terrifying energy.
Looking at the black jade box on the table, Meng Chen was both amused and exasperated. Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping.com.
I was quite pleased when I heard that the gift was sea dragon marrow.
After all, once the second seal is broken!
Then he will possess a Qi and Blood Soul Ring and unlock the Golden Dragon Body.
Now, the goods have indeed arrived, and their quality is off the charts, so good that they could be described as priceless treasures, but he simply can’t eat them.
Left with no other choice, Meng Chen first placed the jade box into his own storage soul tool.
“Alas, there’s no hope of relying on external forces now; we can only wait and see.”
Meng Chen shook his head, calmed himself down, and sat cross-legged on the bed again.
Since the marrow of the ten-thousand-year-old sea dragon cannot be moved.
The only option is to continue refining the remaining spiritual essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that I consumed in the Sunset Forest, as well as the vast天地元气 (heaven and earth energy).
Meng Chen closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, his soul power slowly circulating according to a mysterious trajectory.
The fluffy golden rabbit ears on its head emitted a soft golden glow under the moonlight, and the surroundings returned to their usual tranquility.
……
Sun rises and sets, dawn and dusk alternate.
The cultivation of a Soul Master is inherently a tedious and lengthy process of honing one’s skills.
A whole month passed in the blink of an eye in the peaceful college life.
During this month, Meng Chen devoted almost all his time, apart from attending regular classes, to refining the pure energy left behind by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
At dawn, the first rays of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone into the courtyard of the dormitory.
“call!”
In the room, Meng Chen, who had been cultivating all night, slowly exhaled and suddenly opened his eyes.
A golden light flashed in his eyes, and the aura emanating from his entire body rapidly increased.
Level 13.
Meng Chen clenched his fist, his face showing indescribable excitement.
He broke through two levels from his initial eleventh level upon entering the academy, reaching the realm of a thirteenth-level Soul Master.
Such a cultivation speed would be astonishing to anyone outside the aristocratic families who consider themselves geniuses.
Moreover, the energy of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was also subtly nourishing his spiritual sea of consciousness.
This made his perception so acute that it was frightening.
Although I can only look on with envy at the Ten Thousand Year Sea Dragon Marrow, at least my strength is getting stronger every day.
Meng Chen jumped off the bed, stretched his limbs, pushed open the door, and strode towards the teaching building.
