Although he had one less spirit ring than his opponent, Su Chen did not feel too much pressure.
That made sense; from his meditation technique to his spear art, everything was top-tier, provided by the God of Destruction, not to mention that the blessing of the Goddess of Life had greatly enhanced his physical constitution.
While Su Chen was lamenting that his opponent’s strength was not strong enough, the shock in the opponent’s heart far exceeded Su Chen’s.
That a child could easily block his attacks was already unbelievable to him, especially since this child had a lower Realm than him.
“How is it that a random child encountered on the road is such a Genius?”
Amidst the shock, he gritted his teeth and activated his Second Spirit Ring.
At this point, it was either Su Chen’s death or his own; he had no choice but to fight for his life.
“Kill.”
This person’s Second Spirit Ring lit up, and the sharp claws on his ten fingers actually detached from his fingertips, sweeping towards Su Chen.
Chrysanthemum Douluo moved a little closer.
Su Chen’s performance was already enough to amaze him.
This person’s Second Spirit Ability was not weak; ten sharp claws attacked Su Chen from all directions, making it very difficult to block them all.
Then, Chrysanthemum Douluo saw Su Chen’s first spirit ring also light up slightly.
Out of his four first Spirit Abilities, Su Chen only used one: “Stagnation”.
The Life Destruction Spear in his hand danced into a blur, cold air dense around him, and frost filled the air.
The speed of the ten sharp claws instantly dropped by nearly half and were quickly swept away by the Life Destruction Spear.
Having already seen both of the opponent’s Spirit Abilities, and seeing that this person’s strength clearly couldn’t test his own limits, Su Chen lost interest in sparring.
Su Chen’s eyes narrowed.
The Life Destruction Spear whistled, wrapped in cold air, and thrust straight at the man’s chest.
With his ten sharp claws broken, the man was already flustered.
Facing the long spear thrusting at him, he retreated repeatedly.
He retreated very quickly, but Su Chen approached even faster.
The Hundred Battles Spear Art was not just a hand-based spear technique; its accompanying footwork and movement techniques were equally powerful.
In the blink of an eye, the spear tip approached the man’s heart.
“No~”
As soon as this person spat out a single word, he felt a chill in his chest, and his consciousness quickly dissipated.
Killing two people in a row was just a mundane matter to Su Chen; he was used to it.
But to Chrysanthemum Douluo, Su Chen’s decisiveness in killing showed that he must have experienced many battles to have honed such a will.
For a six or seven-year-old child to have experienced so many battles, he likely truly had no Family or elders.
“Senior, it is getting late.
Shall we find a place to have dinner?”
Su Chen called out to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo coughed, looking slightly embarrassed.
“I have been following along without any malicious intent…”
“I understand.
I saw that you were prepared to intervene and save me just now.
Thank you, Senior, for escorting me all the way.”
Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head.
“It seems I was overthinking.
With your strength, ordinary dangers should not be able to harm you.”
Chrysanthemum Douluo’s eyes were filled with irrepressible admiration.
Even those students who were heavily cultivated by Spirit Hall might not necessarily do better than Su Chen at his age and cultivation level, right?
The more outstanding Su Chen performed, the more he felt it was a pity.
How could such a talented child not have the fate to become his Disciple?
The white horse, which Su Chen had let go, trotted back on its own.
Su Chen led the horse and called out to Chrysanthemum Douluo: “Senior, are you planning to go back, or will you continue to escort me for a while longer?”
“Hehe, since you said it is getting late, I will shamelessly sponge another meal.”
Having already escorted him for a stretch, Chrysanthemum Douluo didn’t mind escorting Su Chen a little further.
Such a child, who both made him feel close and performed so outstandingly, was truly admirable.
“Senior, I haven’t been traveling in Douluo Continent for long, but I have encountered things like today several times.
Is Douluo Continent really this chaotic?”
Chrysanthemum Douluo said: “Spirit Masters, you know, once they have a bit of strength, they easily get carried away, feeling that they are superior to others.”
“This is still considered mild.
There was a time when Fallen Spirit Masters were rampant in Douluo Continent, and it took a great deal of effort for Spirit Hall to suppress them.”
During their casual conversation, the sun had already set behind the mountain peaks, and Su Chen had chosen a place to camp for the night.
Chrysanthemum Douluo did not put on any airs of a Senior expert and helped light the campfire.
“Xiao Chen, I see that your spear art is very good.
Someone must have taught you, right?”
Many things that Su Chen displayed made Yue Guan feel contradictory.
Traveling alone and having rich experience in dealing with enemies all indicated that his background might not be good, or at the very least, it was highly probable that he had no Family.
But whether it was his spear art or his conduct, Yue Guan felt that Su Chen seemed like someone from a prominent Family.
“It was taught to me by a respected Senior.”
So it was a Senior, not a teacher, that was good.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was inexplicably a little happy.
There was a sense of relief that a Disciple he couldn’t get, others couldn’t get either.
“Does your spear art have a name?
Its power is quite extraordinary.”
Yue Guan did know some Spirit Masters who used spears, such as the Breaking Clan, a former affiliated Family of the Clear Sky Sect, which was famous for its spear art and had achieved considerable success in the Dao of spear art.
But the spear art Su Chen displayed was different from any other spear art he knew.
“It is called the Hundred Battles Spear Art.”
“Hundred Battles Spear Art?”
Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered to himself, confirming that he had never heard of this spear art.
But from the name alone, he could feel a Spirit of surviving a hundred battles and becoming braver with each fight rushing towards him.
While talking to Chrysanthemum Douluo, most of Su Chen’s energy was actually focused on communicating with the God of Destruction.
“You should have also discovered that your Life Destruction Spear is accompanied by an ice-attribute cold shadow.”
“Yes, Senior Destruction, do you know the origin of that cold shadow?”
When Su Chen was dealing with the first enemy earlier, he didn’t use any Spirit Ability, but the opponent was still frozen stiff by the cold air.
At that time, Su Chen had noticed the faint cold shadow on the Life Destruction Spear.
“The million-year-old Tianmeng Iceworm could have provided you with an additional Spirit slot, but your current Spirits are already mutually reinforcing and restraining, and I am planning another big surprise for you.”
“Rashly obtaining an additional Spirit might not necessarily improve your strength and could instead affect subsequent plans, so I temporarily attached it to your Life Destruction Spear.
You can study what other wonderful uses it has.”
So that was it.
Su Chen had originally thought that the Tianmeng Iceworm’s consciousness was gone and could not provide him with an additional Spirit.
Su Chen wasn’t that keen on an additional Spirit anyway.
He already had twin spirits, which were capable of both offense and defense, and could even be used simultaneously.
Whether he could have one more ice-attribute Spirit or not, Su Chen didn’t care.
Instead, he was more interested in the big surprise the God of Destruction mentioned.
If a million-year spirit ring was only a small surprise in the eyes of the God of Destruction, how big must the big surprise be!
“Xiao Chen, stew these medicinal herbs together; it’s very nourishing!”
He didn’t know when the big surprise arranged by the God of Destruction would come, but Chrysanthemum Douluo had handed over several medicinal herbs first.
“What kind of medicine are these?”
Chrysanthemum Douluo loved tending to flowers, plants, and rare medicinal herbs, speaking of them as if they were his own treasures.
“These medicinal herbs can strengthen blood and Qi, strengthen muscles and bones, and nourish Origin Qi.
Anyway, they are good for you.
You wouldn’t worry about me harming you, would you?”
“I wouldn’t.”
Stewing meat with tonic medicine, this could be considered a medicinal diet in Douluo Continent, right?
He just didn’t know how it would taste.
Su Chen threw the medicinal herbs into the pot and asked: “Should I use high heat, medium heat, or low heat?”
“Stew slowly over a low fire.
Be patient; slow work yields fine results.”
