Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 174 Learning
Blue Armor nodded respectfully: "What you say is absolutely right, my lord. Lord Huo Wuji has strengthened the internal security measures of the Chamber of Commerce to ensure that no force will have any opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

Chen Zhou nodded slightly, satisfied with Huo Wuji's caution. He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Besides the Spirit Pagoda, have other forces made any moves?"

Blue Armor pondered for a moment and replied, "Other forces haven't made any major moves. Shrek Academy seems somewhat dissatisfied with our new education system, but hasn't taken any substantial action. As for other smaller forces, most are observing, seemingly waiting for the outcome of the cooperation between the Spirit Pagoda and us."

"However, I recently heard that Shrek Academy has made a request for a competition with certain conditions that Master Huo Wuji could not refuse. They want the East China Sea region to send a representative team to have an exchange match with the representative team selected by Shrek Academy."

"Minister Long of the Ministry of Education even went to question Master Huo Wuji, and also scolded General Shui."

Upon hearing the amusing story, Chen Zhou chuckled softly, a rare occurrence for him, but then frowned, puzzled, and said, "Does Shrek Academy really think of itself as an academy? Always having competitions? Are they out of their minds?!"

There are many ways to combat new forms of education, but Shrek Academy has chosen the one with the most uncertainties.

Chen Zhou's words carried a hint of sarcasm, clearly indicating his bewilderment at Shrek Academy's actions. In his view, Shrek Academy, as the top academy on the continent, should have employed far more sophisticated strategies, rather than resorting to such a seemingly childish "competition" to suppress its opponents.

"Pass down the word: you and Huo Wuji will come to see me tomorrow."

Chen Zhou clearly didn't take Shrek Academy's so-called "plan" seriously, even feeling a hint of disdain. In his view, Shrek Academy's actions were nothing more than a farce, not worth paying much attention to. The Beast Machine Merchant Guild's development was already on track, and Chen Zhou's return had injected new vitality into the entire force. At this moment, he was more concerned with how to utilize existing resources and advantages to further promote the growth of the Beast Machine Merchant Guild.

"Yes, my lord!"

Lan Jia respectfully responded and then withdrew to convey Chenzhou's order.

Chen Zhou carried Xuan Li and slowly walked into the room. The room was still as simple and orderly as when he left, as if time had stood still. He gently placed Xuan Li on the bed.

With a wave of his hand, one heavy book after another fell to the ground, piling up until they were as tall as a person.

At this moment, Chen Zhou smiled kindly at Xuan Li and said, "Your task for the next few days is to understand, remember, learn, and apply this knowledge."

Completely unaware of what she was about to experience, Xuan Li blinked her big eyes, curiously looking at the mountain of books in front of her. Although she didn't understand what these books represented, she could feel the expectation and trust in Chen Zhou's eyes. She reached out her small hand and gently touched the pages, as if feeling the knowledge and power contained within.

"Ah woo~"

Xuan Li spoke in a childish voice, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement. Although she had just been born, as a Star Goddess, her learning ability far surpassed that of ordinary people. Chen Zhou believed that it wouldn't be long before Xuan Li mastered this knowledge, perhaps even exceeding his expectations.

"Xuan Li, these books contain the basic theories and practical techniques of alchemy, as well as some advanced alchemical formulas. You must study them carefully, understand the principles behind them, and try to apply them in practice."

Chen Zhou spoke softly, his tone encouraging. He knew Xuan Li would grow very quickly, but alchemy was a discipline that required patience and meticulousness; it couldn't be rushed. Xuan Li nodded. Although she couldn't fully understand Chen Zhou's words, she could feel his expectations for her.

Then, Chen Zhou patiently picked up Xuan Li, opened the first book for her, and gently explained, "The core of alchemy lies in the conversion of energy and the transformation of matter. You need to understand the connections between all things, master the laws of energy flow, and then transform one substance into another through equivalent exchange. This is the foundation of alchemy, and it is also the key to your future becoming a powerful alchemist."

Xuan Li stared intently at the pages of the book. Although the words were still unfamiliar to her, she seemed to have an instinct that allowed her to quickly understand their meaning.

The essence of alchemy goes straight to the origin, and at the same time, the most basic alchemy is also the most core and complete alchemy.

Xuan Li, intimately connected to heaven and earth, seemed to possess an innate, profound understanding of alchemy. Her fingers gently traced the pages, as if sensing the flow of energy within. Chen Zhou watched her, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He knew that Xuan Li's talent far surpassed that of ordinary people, perhaps even exceeding that of himself in his previous life when he had just begun his studies.

“Xuan Li, alchemy is not just a technique, but also an understanding of the world. You need to use your heart to feel the essence of all things and understand the connections between them. Only in this way can you truly master the essence of alchemy.”

Chen Zhou's voice was gentle yet firm, as if guiding Xuan Li toward a path leading to infinite possibilities.

Xuan Li raised her head, looking into Chen Zhou's eyes, as if trying to understand his words. Her eyes shone with wisdom; although she couldn't fully express her thoughts yet, Chen Zhou could sense her inner longing and determination.

"Ah woo~"

Xuan Li spoke again in her childish voice, as if responding to Chen Zhou's expectation. Her fingers lightly touched the pages of the book, and the originally rough paper seemed to have undergone countless ages, with tendrils growing from the pages, spreading rapidly as if to cover the entire room. A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Zhou's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He gently patted Xuan Li's little head and said softly, "Xuan Li, the power of alchemy needs to be used with caution, especially before you have fully mastered it."

Xuan Li blinked her big eyes, seemingly understanding Chen Zhou's meaning. With a flick of her finger, the vines quickly retreated back into the pages of the book, as if they had never appeared.

Watching this scene, Chen Zhou couldn't help but marvel at Xuan Li's talent. She not only quickly grasped the principles of alchemy, but could even unconsciously apply them in practice. Even Chen Zhou himself had never witnessed such talent.

“Xuan Li, your talent is very strong, but the power of alchemy is not inexhaustible. Every time you use alchemy, it will consume your mental strength and energy.”

"Therefore, we need to completely transform the energy we have cultivated into alchemical energy that can evolve into countless forms."

Unlike Chen Zhou's current reincarnated body, which needs to naturally adapt to the laws of this world.

However, as a Star God, Xuan Li was born with the ability to control the laws, and her physical attributes were exquisite. She did not need to cultivate alchemy by inscribing an alchemical ritual array on her martial soul like I did.
