Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 100 A Blessing in Disguise

The new world is a different world altogether. The endless red earth world is filled with wisps of white mist, and the air is filled with a mystical atmosphere. The vibrant life flows in the air.

In a daze, Chen Xuan was pulled to this place in the form of a spiritual body.

These strange sights—the ethereal atmosphere, the white mist, the lush vitality—all seemed to originate from that vibrant green plant, which slowly began to appear.

Upon arriving at this place, he breathed in the misty white fog and felt incredibly comfortable. His mental energy was rapidly increasing, and it even had a nourishing effect.

Chen Xuan didn't know whether he had died or had truly arrived in a different world.

His spiritual body was glowing as he attempted to communicate with his physical body.

Although it took some time, he succeeded and communicated with the physical body, which was outside this world.

On the riverbank, Chen Xuan's physical body sat cross-legged on a boulder, his eyes closed and his breathing shallow.

"Fortunately, I still know how to do this." In the Red Earth World, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why he had come here, he could leave immediately and return to his physical body outside if he wanted to.

Now that he had nothing to worry about, he wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he began to explore the world, especially the plant, which had thirty-six leaves, a vibrant green, full of life, and had also produced nine fruits, like red agate.

Chen Xuan looked familiar; I was sure I'd seen him somewhere before.

Besides, a bold guess popped into his mind: since the world outside the red earth was his physical body, was it possible that this was his spiritual world, or a world composed of one of the organs within his body?

This speculation is not impossible; it is highly likely that what he thinks is true.

Chen Xuan was lost in memories, his mind churning as he searched for recollections related to the lush green plant before him.

Finally, he remembered that it was two months ago, on his very first day in mainland China.

Among the three upgrade gift packs were many treasures, including a plant bearing nine fruits. He absorbed these fruits, and his martial soul evolved.

However, there is a clear difference between the two now. The fruit back then was only the size of a cherry, and there were not as many leaves as there are now, just a sparse nine.

This precious herb, rooted in the red soil, is surrounded by an ethereal aura, emanating a white mist. It has thirty-six leaves, and its fruit has grown from the size of a cherry to the size of a red agate.

"It seems that after I absorbed it that day, this plant took root here." Chen Xuan roughly guessed the truth.

The misty, ethereal vapor rises and swirls, creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. Its vitality is terrifyingly abundant; this is undoubtedly a true immortal herb.

Chen Xuan approached and observed the lush green plant, carefully sensing its condition.

He soon made a discovery: the roots of the immortal herb were absorbing nutrients from the soil to strengthen the rhizome, and the final power flowed into the leaves and fruits.

"Thirty-six petals, thirty-six heavens, what a coincidence, could it really be the legendary Thirty-Six Flowers?" Chen Xuan dismissed the thought; that was just a legend, it didn't exist. This was the real world, and the rarest treasure was the Immortal Herb.

At the same time, he sensed his body vibrating. The toxins that had been integrated into his internal organs had undergone a strange change. They were gradually leaving his internal organs and flowing into his heart. Then, nothing happened. The toxins disappeared inexplicably after entering his heart.

In no time, this rare and precious herb grew stronger, with thicker roots and greener leaves.

"Could it be that this red earth world is the world constructed by my heart?" Chen Xuan was stunned and shocked by this conjecture, but felt that it was very likely.

The toxins came out of the internal organs, flowed into the heart, and disappeared, as if they had been absorbed.

Chi!

Suddenly, the rare medicinal herb glowed, its leaves became even greener, and its fruit seemed to have grown a little bigger.

Chen Xuan's physical body and heart vibrated, emitting an eerie red light, like the sound of thunder and heavenly drums, and his entire body resonated with it.

Then, he discovered that his soul power had actually broken through to level 48, taking another step closer to the Soul King realm.

"A peerless medicine!"

Chen Xuan couldn't contain his joy and was somewhat excited. That plant was too incredible. The toxins hidden in the bone were drawn out and flowed into the red soil world, where they were absorbed and refined, and some of the energy was fed back out.

If things continue like this, he will be able to break through level 50 in just a few days. The rare medicine is absorbing the toxins, and the slowly refined soul power is feeding back to him.

brush!

Chen Xuan's spirit returned to his physical body. He opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and it was very strong and full of power.

He felt very comfortable now, his body was incredibly light, as if he had escaped from a swamp, and he benefited greatly.

Chen Xuan twitched his nose; a foul odor wafted through the air, pungent and unpleasant.

He only noticed now that his body was covered in a black, filthy liquid that smelled terrible, worse than a can of moldy sardines.

thump!

Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Xuan jumped into the river and scrubbed himself thoroughly until he was completely clean. Then he changed into a new set of clothes. He had burned the old clothes before, and wearing them again would be disgusting.

"Is it not venom, but bodily fluids containing impurities from my body?"

He concluded that he had initially thought the black liquid was the toxins.

Chen Xuan clenched his fist. His soul power was abundant, and his body felt much lighter. His soul power had also broken through to level 48. Overall, this could be considered a blessing in disguise.

He tried to enter the red clay world several times, but failed each time.

He concluded that only when one experiences a life-threatening crisis can the spirit body be activated to enter the red earth world constructed by the heart and absorb rich vitality to recover.

The toxin problem was almost no longer a threat, but Chen Xuan planned to continue the disguise, using himself as bait to catch a big fish.

The blonde woman was stunningly beautiful, though she didn't resemble Qian Renxue in appearance, though she did bear some resemblance.

He had used his three-tomoe Sharingan and saw a real object, not a genjutsu disguise. However, he remained skeptical and would investigate further to determine if it was indeed Qian Renxue.

……

At dawn, as the sun rose, Chen Xuan returned to Shrek Academy's base and was informed by the Royal Knights that the qualifying rounds had ended the day before, and all teams had returned to the academy for three days of rest.

On the final day, Shrek Academy faced off against Godwind Academy, and the two sides agreed to settle the score in one round.

During the match, Tang San used every trick in the book, and was finally forced to use the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world, in order to defeat Feng Xiaotian.

The final victory undoubtedly belonged to the Shrek team.

This is what Chen Xuan learned from the Royal Knights; it's similar to the original timeline with little difference.

Thanks.

That day, he did not go home, but returned to Shrek Academy.

"Chen Xuan, where have you been these past few days?" Zhu Zhuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him, thinking that something had happened to him.

These past few days, she has searched many places but found no information about Chen Xuan; it's as if he has vanished from the face of the earth.

This worried her greatly, fearing that something might happen to him. She disliked most men, but this was one of the few she had feelings for.

Even though she knew there was no future for them, she didn't want anything to happen to Chen Xuan and hoped he would live a good life.

"I'll explain later. Where is the master?" Chen Xuan asked. He hadn't sensed the master's presence since returning to the academy.

"The competition ended yesterday, and the master set off ahead of schedule," Zhu Zhuqing informed.

She knew that Chen Xuan and Yu Xiaogang had a serious feud, and although she wanted to help the man, she was ultimately powerless to do so.

"I have something to do, I'll go out for a bit." Chen Xuan turned and left, walking towards the door.

It would be truly unforgivable to waste such a great opportunity.

"You... wait a minute." Zhu Zhuqing stretched out her hand, but ultimately didn't say it.

Watching the man's back recede into the distance, her eyes dimmed, and her heart was filled with complex emotions.

During the ten days Chen Xuan was missing, she was very worried, feeling as if she had lost something important. It was then that she realized how much he meant to her, at least more than Dai Mubai.

It might be because of the soul bone, or perhaps it was the two times she was saved in the Star Dou Great Forest that made her develop feelings for him.

Zhu Zhuqing knew that this relationship was destined to have no future, so she held back and did not call out to the other person.

Chen Xuan came and went in a hurry, and didn't really notice that Da Zhuqing was more proactive than usual.

Outside Shrek Academy

Chen Xuan went to a secluded corner, used his chakra, and with a bang, a cloud of white mist rose up. Then, a person who looked exactly like him appeared, with almost identical appearance and height.

The Shadow Clone Technique, a newly developed ninjutsu he discovered, is an improvement on the Three Body Technique. He spent ten days in seclusion, but his training did not fall behind.

"Master, you've created such a perfect opportunity; you're tempting me to commit a crime."
