Douluo Continent: Martial Soul is the Star Forging Dragon King

"Your Holiness, please rest assured, Xiao Chen is my best brother. I will not reveal a single word about him to anyone!"

Upon hearing that he could join the Spirit Hall Academy, Wang Sheng was extremely excited.

"Old Ghost and I will protect this child's secret to the death!"

"Ah."

Bibi Dong could still trust Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo.

Luo Chen's information must be kept top secret; it's best not to let anyone, not even those guys in the Hall of Offerings, know it.

No, the Hall of Worship must absolutely not find out!

"Once that old geezer Qian Daoliu finds out about Xiao Chen's existence, he'll definitely do something."

Bibi Dong was not worried about Qian Daoliu harming Luo Chen.

Luo Chen has impeccable family background, and now that he has become Bibi Dong's disciple, he is naturally bound to the Spirit Hall.

What Bibi Dong was really worried about was that Qian Daoliu might try to take Luo Chen away from her.

"No, I have to find a way to keep Xiaochen firmly by my side!"

Feeling guilty about Luo Chen's weak health, Bibi Dong looked at him with even more affection: "Such talent, such a lovely child, so well-behaved and sensible."

"We absolutely cannot let that old bastard Qian Daoliu and the hypocritical Angel Clan bewitch Xiao Chen!"

Bibi Dong was very satisfied with everyone's answers. The beautiful Pope nodded and then turned her gaze to Luo Chen again: "By the way, Xiao Chen, you haven't told us why your second martial soul has such a strong attraction for us."

The situation regarding the first martial soul is currently unknown, and now a mysterious second martial soul has emerged.

For a moment, everyone showed curiosity.

"I'll explain this to you teachers slowly."

Luo Chen led the five people to his room in the orphanage. Wang Sheng already knew Luo Chen's secret, so knowing a little more wouldn't make much difference.

The room was spacious with very little furniture.

Judging from his appearance, he wasn't exactly poor, but it was clear at a glance that Luo Chen lived a very simple life.

The strong smell of medicine, in particular, made the four of them frown.

"Xiao Chen, do you have to drink so much medicine every day?"

"Yes, you should drink it in the morning, noon, and night."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong felt a pang of heartache, and her gaze towards Luo Chen softened even more: 'Sigh, Xiao Chen must have suffered a lot these past years. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, this child wouldn't be...'

"The money left by the teacher has been mostly spent over the years, with most of it going towards herbal remedies to nourish the body."

Luo Chen said, "As for the others, I asked the dean and Brother Tao to buy some books."

There are very few books about martial spirits in these books, since Luo Chen wasn't sure if he could become a soul master.

So he made many preparations.

From politics and management to forging and catering, Luo Chen has dabbled in almost everything.

Luo Chen did not come away empty-handed after transmigrating to this world.

He gained an ability similar to the 'photographic memory' described in his previous life; he could memorize every single word of any book he read.

This is also why Wang Sheng always puts Luo Chen first, even though Luo Chen is physically weak.

In Wang Sheng's eyes, Luo Chen was the brain; whatever he said, he would do.

Anyway, listening to Luo Chen is always the right thing to do!

"After reading the books, I donated them to the orphanage's library as a way to educate my younger siblings about science."

Luo Chen is a grateful person; he has never forgotten anyone who has helped him.

'What a good child…'

Bibi Dong's affection for Luo Chen grew even stronger, and then she heard him say, "I am not quite clear about the specific function of my first martial soul yet, so I cannot explain its abilities to my teacher."

"As for the second spirit, although it cannot be equipped with spirit rings, it has a very special spirit skill, which I call 'Ascension'."

As he spoke, Luo Chen simultaneously spread his hands, releasing the Sun Disc Martial Soul: "The effect of this Soul Skill is to perform an ascension ceremony for Soul Masters, enhancing their potential and bringing about a qualitative change."

"this!"

Upon hearing Luo Chen say that the Sun Disc could enhance a Soul Master's aptitude, Bibi Dong's worldview was once again greatly shaken.

An improvement in a Soul Master's aptitude largely means the strengthening of their Martial Soul.

But Bibi Dong had never seen anyone whose martial soul could evolve later in life.

Such a thing is rarely recorded, even in the Spirit Hall's archives.

The most famous is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the inherited martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was once evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda by a certain ancestor.

The problem is that the specific conditions required for this kind of evolution are probably not even clear to the Spirit Hall, let alone the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School itself.

"What's the price?"

"Will this kind of ritual cause you any harm, Xiaochen?"

Bibi Dong was indeed shocked by the power of the Sun Disc, and after she came to her senses, the beautiful Pope immediately asked Luo Chen about the impact of the ascension ceremony on him.

After awakening his martial soul, Luo Chen gained an extremely keen sense of other people's emotional fluctuations.

He could sense that Bibi Dong genuinely cared about him.

Bibi Dong was more worried about his health than about the benefits the ascension ceremony could bring.

This warmed Luo Chen's heart, and his feelings towards Bibi Dong changed from initially clinging to her to becoming closer to her.

Regardless of Bibi Dong's motives, her concern for Luo Chen was genuine.

"Teacher, don't worry."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, then raised the sun disk slightly: "The sun disk will automatically absorb external energy, but the upper limit of this energy will not increase with the increase of my soul power level."

"It's fixed; in terms of data, it's a maximum value of 100 points."

"Furthermore, the ascension ceremony does not consume my soul power, but rather the ascension power stored within this sun disk."

Luo Chen explained, "Therefore, even if I ascend to immortality as a human, I will not suffer any harm."

"I see."

Hearing Luo Chen say this, Bibi Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, if improving someone else's aptitude comes at the cost of damaging Luo Chen's foundation, then Bibi Dong would absolutely not allow Luo Chen to do something that would be like picking up a sesame seed while losing a watermelon.

Luo Chen's talent is unparalleled throughout history; he is the true treasure!

Women have an innate possessiveness towards the things they cherish.

Bibi Dong was no exception in this regard.

Bibi Dong now feels guilty towards Luo Chen, but also has a sense of responsibility as a teacher and high expectations for his future.

Therefore, as long as Luo Chen doesn't cross her bottom line, such as betraying her, Bibi Dong will do whatever Luo Chen wants.

"Um, teacher."

Luo Chen said to Bibi Dong, "I want to perform an ascension ceremony for Wang Sheng."

"Perfect timing! I can also take this opportunity to demonstrate the effects of the ascension ceremony to the teacher."

For the past six years, Wang Sheng has taken care of Luo Chen like an older brother, and when Luo Chen learned about the effects of the ascension ceremony, he immediately thought of Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng has ordinary talent, with innate soul power at level 2 and his martial soul being only a low-level martial soul, the War Tiger.

Whether someone with such talent can break through level 30 in the future is still unknown.

"A martial spirit that can enhance the aptitude of others is something I have never heard of before."

Bibi Dong guessed Luo Chen's intention, but she did not refuse; instead, she was happy about it.

Luo Chen did not forget Wang Sheng after gaining power, which is enough to demonstrate his character.

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by the fountain.

This phrase doesn't exist in Douluo Continent, but similar proverbs do.

This time, Wang Sheng has truly met a benefactor.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Luo Chen is about to achieve great success, yet he still doesn't forget to lend a hand to this former brother.

"Very well, then you may ascend to immortality for this child."

Bibi Dong asked, "Do you need the teacher to prepare a quiet place for you?"

"It's okay, this is fine."

As Luo Chen spoke, he led his men to the small courtyard outside the gate, where the surrounding people had already been driven away by the ghosts.

Those who remain here are only Luo Chen, Hu Liena, Bibi Dong, Wang Sheng, and two Title Douluo.

"Xiao Chen, are you really going to help me?"

Wang Sheng trusted Luo Chen very much; they had grown up together and knew each other inside and out.

Therefore, Wang Sheng had no doubts about Luo Chen's intention to perform an ascension ceremony for him.

Someone else might think that Luo Chen is using guinea pigs for experiments.

But Wang Sheng knew that Luo Chen wouldn't risk himself if he wasn't absolutely certain.

And so it is.

The information the Sun Disc gave to Luo Chen clearly stated that the ascension ceremony had only benefits and no drawbacks.

Even if it fails, at most it will revert to its original state, and will never cause any damage to the Soul Master's aptitude or Martial Soul.

"He's one of our own brothers, so you can leave him to me without worry."

Luo Chen gave Wang Sheng a reassuring look, and the latter, understanding, asked, "What do I need to do?"

"You don't have to do anything, just stand there and relax."

As Luo Chen spoke, he channeled his soul power into the sun disc amidst the curious gazes of the crowd.

A golden disc engraved with mysterious runes slowly rose up, standing upright in the air like a coin, and then slowly began to rotate.
