Douluo: I am an evil soul master, working from nine to five in the Tang Sect

Chapter 93: Progressive Taian

While Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun were talking, Luo Chen, whose stature had grown taller and whose aura had become stronger, inadvertently glanced at the two figures standing on the roof.

With his current mental strength, he can easily make his life detection ability passive. The mustard-level Purple Demon Eye has greatly enhanced his mental power. Any living being that can be seen by his eyes cannot escape his life detection ability.

Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun, who did not reveal any aura at the moment, were discovered by Luo Chen, but what really surprised Luo Chen was the figure walking beside him.

"Chenzi, it's only been a few days since we last met, but you seem like a different person. Have you made another breakthrough?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Luo Chen did not look up, but a smile appeared on his face and he responded:
"Old Tai, you are the one. It's only been two months, and you're already not far from becoming a three-ring soul master. Even I'm a little shocked by your speed of cultivation."

The person who came was Tai'an, the strongest person in the freshman class nine. Ever since he broke through to the second-ring great soul master and his own martial soul awakened, his strength has become more and more terrifying.

From the beginning, he easily defeated Wu Feng, who was also a two-ring great soul master, and later, he defeated Wu Feng and Ning Tian with just one move. Wu Feng, who was blessed with the Seven Treasures Linglong Tower at the three-ring soul master level, could not withstand Tai'an's move.

After he defeated Taian, Taian's name became famous among the first-year students in the outer courtyard. Now even many senior students are aware that in this year's freshman assessment, there has emerged a monster-level student who has the potential to enter the inner courtyard!
However, all this seemed natural to Luo Chen. Tai'an, who had made up for the deficiencies in his own martial soul, could truly unleash the terrifying power of the Titan Giant Ape.

In the same level situation, unless the opponent's martial soul can also match the Titan Giant Ape's powerful top beast martial soul, it is really wishful thinking to want to defeat Taian in the same level!

Not to mention those of the same level, even many three-ring soul masters and even four-ring soul masters who have strong attack-type martial spirits cannot compare with Tai'an today in terms of the strength they can display in actual combat.

With Luo Chen's eyesight, he can naturally see what level Taian's strength has reached. It is no exaggeration to say that Taian, who had just broken through before, might not even be able to beat a normal four-ring soul master, but now.

Tai'an has become familiar with his current physical fitness and the newly acquired Millennium Soul Skill. His overall strength has undergone a drastic change, and even his fighting style has become completely different from before.

However, what really surprised Luo Chen was his own mental power. At the beginning, Taian's mental power was just enough to absorb the thousand-year soul ring, but now, it has reached the level of Xu Sanshi.

In terms of mental strength, he is even better than Xu Sanshi, a sixth-year student from the outer courtyard!
You should know that Tai'an's talent in mental strength is actually not very high. What really stands out is his talent in physical fitness. However, now his mental strength is not much different from his physical fitness.

This couldn't help but surprise Luo Chen. It was hard to imagine how hard Tai'an had worked on the Purple Demon Pupil and the Mysterious Heavenly Skill in these two months.

Otherwise, Luo Chen didn't think he could achieve this level just relying on the talent of his own Titan Giant Ape Martial Spirit.

"Don't give me that. I know exactly what's going on with you. You said you were scared, but you're actually not scared at all. To be honest, I was the one who was scared by you."

"I thought that I would be able to close the gap between us after practicing so hard during this period of time, but I never thought that the gap would become even bigger. Honestly, what level have you reached now?"

Tai'an sat down next to Luo Chen without any hesitation. With his strength, even Mu Jin praised him highly, so the discipline of him was very different from that of other students.

Even in the class, Ning Tian and Wu Feng are the monitor and deputy monitor, but as long as Taian speaks, Mu Jin will take his opinion at the first time. This is the advantage brought by her own strength.

However, Tai'an still showed a bit of helplessness on his face at this moment. The reason why he practiced so hard was to catch up with Luo Chen as much as possible. He always remembered what Luo Chen said to him at the beginning.

In order to enter the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy and practice with Luo Chen, Taian worked very hard. Apart from practicing the Tang Sect's unique skills with Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Bei Bei every day, he spent most of his time sparring with students of all grades in the fighting arena of the outer courtyard.

Although Taian is only a first-year student in the outer school, in Shrek Academy, what is truly valued is one's own strength rather than age. With Taian's current strength, he has been thoroughly noticed by a group of senior students.

Even the top leaders of Shrek Academy are very concerned about Tai'an. This is not only because of the strength he has demonstrated. People like Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun really value Tai'an himself, the Titan Giant Ape spirit which is the overlord of soul beasts.

The first thing the academy considers when evaluating each student is their martial soul. The quality of the martial soul basically determines the upper limit of what the student can achieve.

Although there are many talented people who have made a comeback after birth, overall, such talents are still a minority. Therefore, the academy attaches great importance to students like Taian who possess top-level beast martial spirits.

For any college, the cultivation of talented students is the top priority, because it is recognized that the stronger the students' talents are, the greater the benefits they can bring to the college in the future.

Not to mention an academy like Shrek Academy, which has a long history of ten thousand years on the continent. Among every class of freshmen, there are many geniuses. What the academy needs to do is to select monster-level students who are truly worth training from these talented students.

However, students like Luo Chen and Tai An are only a minority after all. Geniuses who can impress the senior members of Shrek Academy and be granted the status of "core students" when they first enter school are extremely rare.

After hearing Tai'an's words, Luo Chen also smiled. He certainly understood Tai'an's mood at the moment. After all, he had worked so hard for so long, and if he couldn't even catch up with the opponent's shadow, it would indeed be a very sad thing.

Unfortunately, Luo Chen is such an unreasonable person. The so-called geniuses and elites are just a joke in front of him. Even the inner school students of Shrek Academy, which are very famous in the mainland soul master world, are just mediocre "ordinary people" in front of Luo Chen. Therefore, even if Taian has the Titan Giant Ape Martial Spirit as a foundation and works hard enough, it is not so easy to catch up with Luo Chen.

While he was making progress, Luo Chen was also making progress, and Luo Chen's speed of progress was far more amazing than Tai'an. The gap between the two, at such an incredible speed of progress, could only become larger and larger with the passage of time.

However, Luo Chen is still very optimistic about Taian. After all, Taian's talent should not be underestimated, especially after his own Titan Giant Ape martial soul was truly awakened, his cultivation speed has almost increased several times, which is simply incomparable.

Regarding this point, all the students in Class 9 of the Freshman Class have a very deep understanding. In just two months, Taian, whose strength was only slightly higher than Wu Feng, was able to easily defeat Wu Feng with the assistance of Ning Tian.

You know, Wu Feng and Ning Tian are both first-class geniuses. In the eyes of the freshmen in Class 9, they are not much weaker than Luo Chen and Tai'an. But they never expected that while Ning Tian and Wu Feng were practicing diligently and making progress, Luo Chen and Tai'an overtook them and surpassed them by more than one level.

Especially Luo Chen. Except for the first few days when he was seen by the students of Class 9, he was hardly seen in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy in the following two and a half months.

But despite this, Luo Chen's position in the freshman class nine is still unshakable. Even Tai'an, whose strength has also improved by leaps and bounds, is the same. In terms of real strength, he may be able to defeat all the first-year students in the external college alone.

However, he was unable to defeat Xu Sanshi, who was a high-level three-ring soul master and also possessed a top-level defensive martial soul.

After Luo Chen defeated Xu Sanshi, Xu Sanshi's strength also increased at a terrifying speed. By the way, even Beibei also became serious and began to practice desperately. Otherwise, with Xu Sanshi's current terrifying training speed, it would be quite difficult for him to defeat him even if he had a lot of trump cards.

It can be said that Luo Chen, with his own efforts, boosted the training speed of the entire outer courtyard, and even all the students in the entire Shrek Academy. The students who were already very serious became even more serious, and many students who should have taken advantage of the situation were forced to work hard under this trend.

This is also the reason why Taian practiced so hard. He knew that with his own talent, he might not be able to compete with Luo Chen, but he still believed that as long as he worked hard enough and was serious enough, one day he would be able to catch up with Luo Chen.

At this moment, seeing Taian's serious look, Luo Chen smiled and said:

"Okay, it's okay to tell you. I just broke through to the fourth ring soul ancestor not long ago. I originally planned to wait until after the freshman assessment before breaking through, but I didn't expect that the speed of soul power improvement was beyond my expectations."

"So I couldn't hold it back and broke through. I don't think you will blame me. After all, I see that you are about to break through to the Three-Ring Soul Master. If I don't break through, I will probably be under a lot of pressure when I face you."

As he spoke, Luo Chen also released the fluctuations of his own soul power, allowing Tai'an beside him to feel it more clearly.

However, after feeling the fluctuation of Luo Chen's soul power, Tai'an let out a breath at this moment. Not only was there no shock on his face, he even looked a little relaxed.

“Huh, you’re a Four-Ring Soul Sect? Fortunately, if you had broken through to the Five-Ring Soul King level right now, I might never have been able to catch up with you in my entire life. But if you’re only a Four-Ring Soul Sect, then I might still have hope…”

"But what you said just now is not right. What do you mean by a breakthrough without holding back? Could it be that you have already been sure of breaking through to the Four Ring Soul Sect?"

As Tai'an spoke, his eyes became a little strange when he looked at Luo Chen. He felt that this possibility was very high.

Hearing Tai'an's words, Luo Chen's brows couldn't help but slightly raise. He didn't expect Tai'an could actually guess this. He originally thought he could fool him, but in the end he underestimated Tai'an.

Seeing this, Luo Chen did not hide it. He nodded at Taian's speechless expression, and then said:

"I didn't expect that during this period of time, Lao Tai, not only your strength has improved, but your thinking has also become much more agile. You really guessed it right. I have indeed been confident of breaking through to the Four Ring Soul Sect a long time ago, but I only broke through recently."

"After all, you also know that the so-called breakthrough to Soul Venerable and Soul Sect is not a bottleneck for me at all. As long as the cultivation level is reached, it will be easy to break through. There is almost no difficulty. But I didn't lie to you. I really just broke through to the fourth ring of Soul Sect."

Luo Chen did not hide anything when he said this. Although he was cultivating on the Sea God Island, his soul power increased very quickly, almost every day. At a rate visible to the naked eye, he had risen from the 37th level of Soul Master to the current 4th-ring Soul Sect.

However, the improvement of his cultivation would also put Luo Chen in certain risks. In order not to attract attention, Luo Chen broke through the four-ring soul ring without anyone noticing, and immediately asked his cheap master Mu Lao to take him to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings.

Therefore, Tai'an did not receive any news at all and could only rely on speculation to determine what level Luo Chen had reached.

Even Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun, two people who have extremely high say in the academy, only learned later from Luo Chen that he had successfully broken through to the Four-Ring Soul Sect.

Almost no one expected that Luo Chen, who had just broken through to the three-ring Soul Master level, could break through again and again in such a short period of time and reach the four-ring Soul Master level in one fell swoop. The realm of the four-ring Soul Master was something that none of the outer courtyard students had reached, and only the students in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy could do it.

However, Luo Chen, who is only a freshman in the external school and has not even experienced the freshman assessment, has been the first to reach this level!
