A Life of Attributes Starting as a Nobleman in the Republic of China Era

"You've just broken through, don't be impatient for quick success. Take a good rest today," Chen Shi said with a smile, as he walked unsteadily out of the training room.

After a fierce battle with Wang Jian a few nights ago, forcibly stimulating his internal energy, and then helping Chen Che break through a bottleneck today, Chen Shi was truly exhausted. He staggered into his room and closed the door behind him.

Chen Che's surging true energy flowed smoothly, like a widened riverbank carrying the surging new life. With each breath, he could feel the fullness and power coming from his meridians.

"What new talents will this breakthrough bring?" Chen Che opened his system panel.

Name: Chen Che

【Life: 6.1】

【Strength: 6.3】

【Speed: 6.3】

【Spirit: 4.6】

[Stance Training: Five-Star Yin-Yang Stance: Mastery]

[External Skills: 5-Star Wind God Technique: Masterful; Grandmaster Nameless Staff Technique: Masterful]

[Talents: Diligence Pays Off; All-Knowing Mind; Enlightenment; Inference; Facing Death with a Will; Soul Evolution (Consumes Free Attribute Points to evolve the Soul, maximum level III)]

[Soul: Cangming I+, Chongchi I+]

Free attribute points: 1.2

"Huh? Souls can evolve?" Chen Che's curiosity was piqued.

Next to Cangming and Chongchi on the panel, there is an "I" next to them, which means that they are currently at level one. There is also a small gold plus sign "+" next to them.

"Tap tap tap..." Chen Che's fingers tapped lightly on the wooden board of the arena, hesitating slightly.

Ultimately, curiosity prevailed, and his consciousness touched the golden plus sign next to Cangming.

A mysterious sensation surged from the depths of his soul, a throbbing of blood from the primordial era. He knew that the colossal beast slumbering beneath the abyss was about to awaken.

[Consume 1.0 free attribute point to evolve Cangming to II?]

[Warning: During the Soul Evolution process, the host will enter a brief period of dormancy. It is recommended to conduct this in a safe environment.]

【whether】

"It will consume a full 1 attribute point..." Chen Che glanced at his remaining 1.2 free attribute points, hesitated for a moment, and then confirmed.

Anyway, I'll learn more low-level techniques in the future and use the "learning by analogy" method to transform them. Today I'm resting, and the Peace Hotel is safe enough.

The moment Chen Che touched the word "yes," a warm feeling rose up from his spine and surged to the top of his head, making him feel as if his whole body was soaking in water.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed; the walls of the training room disappeared, replaced by a deep, boundless, dark blue sea.

The moonlight shattered and scattered across the sea, reflecting a bright, clear glow.

Chen Che felt himself slowly sinking into a trench tens of thousands of meters deep. All around him was an impenetrable darkness, with only a few faint lights occasionally flashing in the distance, traces left by unknown creatures swimming in the deep sea.

Chen Che could breathe freely in the water, and his heartbeat became increasingly clear.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Each heartbeat was like a drumbeat, causing the seawater to ripple slightly.

An ancient and timeless aura, in sync with his heartbeat, was drawn to him and rose from the depths of the sea.

It was a giant dragon undergoing a transformation.

It coils around the underwater volcano, its scales a deep blue, and with each breath it exhales scorching magma and icy seawater.

When it opened its eyes, Chen Che saw himself; the reflection in those eyes was his own image.

"This is... Cangming?"

Chen Che muttered to himself.

The giant dragon did not respond, but simply began to swim slowly, rising towards the surface of the sea.

Chen Che was powerless to resist, rising higher and higher with it.

The moment it broke through the sea surface, Chen Che suddenly opened his eyes.

The practice room was still the same practice room. A few birds chirped outside the window, and sunlight streamed through the windowpane, scattering across the floor.

[Cangming's evolution complete: I→II]

[Cangming II: New skill "Tide Manipulation", which allows you to sense and manipulate the flow of water within a ten-zhang radius for one minute]

"Tidal manipulation?" Chen Che's eyes lit up.

This means he can gain dominance over water in a short period of time.

Although it was only for one minute, it was enough to turn the tide of the battle at a crucial moment.

He suppressed his excitement and focused his gaze on another soul, [Chong Chi].

It also has a gold plus sign.

With only 0.2 free attribute points remaining, it's not enough for another evolution.

Chen Che gritted his teeth and stood up.

In just one day, Chen Che not only broke through to the "Condensation Aperture" stage, only one step away from the "Martial Venerable" realm, but also evolved into Cangming. This day was truly a day of immense benefit.

He now possesses two life souls, Cangming and Chongchi. During his previous cultivation of "intention," he had already discovered some signs of resonance between the two life souls.

Do other souls exist in this world? If they are all successfully captured and evolved, will new secrets be revealed?

If a Level II Cangming can "manipulate the tides," what about Level III? And the other life souls?

The scene was so beautiful that Chen Che grinned, unable to believe it.

Just then, the telephone in the living room suddenly rang.

Chen Che wiped his sweat, picked up the phone, and saw it was a telephone operator.

"Young Master Chen, a Ms. Su is here to see you in the lobby. Would you like her to come up?"

Sister Yanqing? Chen Che's eyes lit up. She had helped Director Chen of the Shipping Bureau a lot last time, and Su Yanqing had also helped invite many guests to the banquet at the docks of the four major families.

Of course, Su Yanqing did not attend the banquet at the dock. With Dong Yi present, Chen Che, though not exactly a gentleman, could not help but feel uneasy.

However, Chen Shi was resting in his room, which seemed somewhat inappropriate.

"Take her to Huamao Pavilion, I'll be right down." Chen Che hung up the phone, wiped the sweat streaming down his body, sprayed on some perfume, and changed into a sophisticated navy blue suit.

He straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, nodded in satisfaction, and pushed open the door to go out.

Hua Mao Ge is one of the premier Chinese restaurants in Shanghai, located on the second floor of the Peace Hotel, with views of the Bund from its windows.

When Chen Che arrived, Su Yanqing was already seated by the window, wearing a moon-white cheongsam and a light gray cashmere shawl, holding a teacup and looking out the window.

"Sister Yanqing." Chen Che quickly stepped forward and sat down opposite her.

Su Yanqing turned her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and looked him up and down: "It's been over a month, why do you seem different?"

"You've become more handsome?" Chen Che joked with a smile.

"Stop being so cheeky." Su Yanqing rolled her eyes at him, but a smile still played on her lips. "Your demeanor is different now, you're more composed. It seems the incident at the dock banquet has helped you grow a lot."

Chen Che didn't reply, but casually took the cup of black tea handed to him by the waiter.

"What brings you here today?" Chen Che asked with a smile.

"It's not convenient to talk here," Su Yanqing said softly, placing her hand on the back of Chen Che's hand. "Would you like to keep me company and go for a walk?"

After saying that, Su Yanqing gave a wink to someone not far away.

Chen Che followed her gaze and saw three men in sharp suits enter through the door. Their hair was slicked back, and they had meticulously trimmed mustaches. They sat upright, like three chopsticks stuck in a vase.

One of them was Ambassador Akutagawa, who lived downstairs from Chen Che.
