Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 5: Enhancing Strength!

"Phew, the moment I see a powerful Soul Master, I instinctively want to run away. These days, even evil Soul Masters have it tough. I've even been traumatized by this..."

Although Luo Chen now has a completely new identity and is no longer the "evil soul master" that everyone hates, his habits from over the years are not so easy to change. For example, just now, when Xuan Zi was watching him, he almost subconsciously activated the blood mist to escape.

These are muscle memories formed through repeated lessons learned through blood and tears. It takes time to resolve these kinds of psychological problems.

Seeing Xuanzi walk into the chicken leg shop, Luo Xuan hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to follow. After all, it was rare to see such a powerful person on ordinary days.

"Hey, young man, you seem to be from out of town. You're quite handsome, though. How about you come work as a waiter here? I'll give you ten gold soul coins a month."

Just as Luo Chen was about to go to the chicken leg shop to find Xuan Zi and make an impression, a figure walked out from the shop next to him and stopped him.

"Um?"

Upon hearing that the monthly salary was as high as ten gold soul coins, Luo Chen's attention was instantly drawn to it, to the point that he subconsciously ignored Xuan Zi's matter. The reason was simply that he was too poor, penniless, and could not even afford a meal, let alone tuition fees.

Luo Chen turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in gray casual clothes standing next to him. Although his clothes were ordinary, the noble aura emanating from him was hard to conceal. He was smiling at him.

However, after he looked into the other person's blood-red eyes, the middle-aged man seemed to pause for a moment, but the next moment, he smiled again and spoke:

"A very special pair of eyes. How about it, young man? Want to consider it? I dare say that my treatment is among the best in the entire Shrek City."

Seeing that the other person appeared to be the manager of the upscale hotel in front of him, Luo Chen didn't question what he said. Instead, he asked with a curious expression:

"Excuse me, I didn't hear you clearly. Is it really twenty gold soul coins a month?"

"Haha, little brother, you misheard. It's ten gold soul coins a month. After all, you're just an intern, so it's impossible to give you such a high salary right away. But it'll be possible once you become a full-time employee."

Hearing Luo Chen's words, the middle-aged man smiled and explained that as the hotel manager, he had naturally seen through Luo Chen's little scheme, but he didn't care.

Because his own martial soul possesses a unique ability to detect, it can detect the soul power level and mental strength of anyone within a certain limit...

The boy in front of him, who was only about eleven years old, possessed soul power fluctuations at the level of a second-ring Great Soul Master, and his spiritual power was also ridiculously high. Such talent was enough to pass the entrance examination of Shrek Academy, which was why he offered to recruit him.

After all, there are plenty of good-looking people in the world, and not everyone can have this kind of treatment. Ten gold soul coins is almost a year's income for an ordinary person.

If it weren't for the desire to use the holiday to meet more talented Soul Masters and build more connections in Shrek City, he wouldn't have bothered with this.

Actually, not only the middle-aged man knew this, but Luo Chen himself also knew it. Just by working as a waiter in a hotel, he could earn ten gold soul coins a month.

Bullshit!

Who can earn that much money as a hotel waiter in a month? Even if this is Shrek City, it's impossible. How much profit can a professional waiter bring to a hotel, let alone a kid like him?

"Okay, I agree. I can start working here tomorrow. However, because school starts soon, I can only intern here for about a month. Is that alright with you?"

After much deliberation, Luo Chen was finally swayed by the enormous sum of money and agreed.

"Haha, of course, it's no problem. Just come to the hotel front desk at the same time tomorrow to register your employment information, and you'll receive ten gold soul coins."

Seeing that Luo Chen agreed to join the company, the middle-aged man's smile deepened. In fact, he didn't care whether Luo Chen actually came to work at the hotel or not. As long as he could get the personal information, the ten gold soul coins were well spent.

After exchanging a few words with Luo Chen, the middle-aged man quickly walked in another direction, indicating that his target was not just Luo Chen.

Seeing the middle-aged man in front of him walk to another boy who looked to be about the same age as him and say those familiar words, Luo Chen finally lowered his guard.

He had initially thought the other party had some unknown ulterior motive for approaching him, but now it seemed they simply possessed certain skills to discern a person's character.

The reason for doing this, and spending a lot of gold soul coins, is simply to cast a wide net in Shrek City and establish connections with some talented genius soul masters, so as to obtain more benefits in the future. This can also be regarded as a kind of indirect investment.

After figuring these things out, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile.

"Senior Brother Beibei was right after all. These days, Soul Masters really make money. They don't do anything, and money just comes to them. The ten gold soul coins for tuition are all taken care of!"

Although ten gold soul coins are nothing to such a high-end hotel, they represent a considerable income for Luo Chen at present.

The problem that had been troubling him was solved in an instant, how could he not be happy?

After this incident, when Luo Chen ran back to the chicken leg shop, Xuan Zi's figure had already disappeared, and that life force, like that of an ancient beast, had also vanished without a trace. So Luo Chen simply returned to his residence.

He didn't understand much else, but there was one thing he was clear about: everything in the world was determined by one's own strength. The stronger one was, the more things one could control. If one had no strength, one was no different from the weeds by the roadside, to be trampled on by others!

Now that Luo Chen has completely mastered the Xuan Tian Gong and possesses the cultivation method for soul power, he wants to take advantage of this holiday period to improve his cultivation as much as possible and make up for the years he wasted.

Luo Chen was well aware of the abnormality of his own martial soul. His soul power increased at a speed like flying a plane, increasing by a large margin almost every day!

Even without utilizing the special abilities of his martial soul, Luo Chen was 70% confident that he could raise his soul power to level 24 before the start of the semester, which meant increasing his soul power by three levels in two months!

As for the rest of the time, Luo Chen planned to use it to thoroughly study his martial soul. He had a feeling that this seemingly monstrous Death Scythe martial soul still had a very important ability that had not yet been developed...

And this ability is likely the true source of the Death Scythe Martial Soul's power!
