Yu Tianheng was full of fighting spirit. There was no hostility in his eyes, only his eager anticipation to fight Chu Chen.

"team leader?"

Chu Chen frowned, somewhat puzzled.

He didn't intend to stay in the Royal Fighting Team forever. His purpose in staying was partly for Ye Lingling, and partly to facilitate his own actions under the cover of the academy.

Wouldn't keeping him as captain all the time be like binding himself to a position?

"I know you are very strong, and we all acknowledge your strength, but I want to know the gap between us so that I can be truly convinced."

Yu Tianheng's soul power has reached level 40, and in the past half month, he has also obtained his fourth soul ring, becoming a Soul Master.

"it is good."

Chu Chen agreed, and then the two of them flashed to the training ground. Facing this battle, Yu Tianheng was extremely serious and unleashed all his abilities.

With its four spirit rings activated, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex emerged, carrying surging lightning.

Chu Chen conjured a crystal-clear and dazzling Blue Silver Emperor in his hand, its golden natural patterns radiating rich life energy.

Black, purple, black, black, red!

The moment the red 100,000-year soul ring appeared, the surrounding space seemed to freeze. This terrifying sense of oppression made Yu Tianheng's breathing catch in his throat.

"This... a 100,000-year spirit ring, how did he manage that!?"

Despite being greatly alarmed, Yu Tianheng's fighting spirit remained undiminished. He knew all along that this was a sparring match he was destined to lose, but Chu Chen was willing to face it with all his might.

This precisely demonstrates the respect shown to him.

Therefore, Yu Tianheng had nothing to hesitate about. He laughed and transformed his arms into dragon claws, carrying the power of thunder as he attacked.

"This kid, he's really not even going to act anymore."

Dugu Bo, who was watching from a distance, joked, "Going all out is a sign of respect for your opponent, so Chu Chen's actions are perfectly reasonable."

"Grandpa, how...how did he get a 100,000-year spirit ring? And his first four spirit rings..."

Dugu Yan's face was filled with disbelief, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise.

"Him? He's a monster. Yan Yan, you'd better get along with him." Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow at his granddaughter, the implication of his words couldn't be clearer.

Dugu Yan was stunned. Looking at Chu Chen's figure, a rare blush appeared on her pretty face.

This exchange did not last long.

Even if Yu Tianheng went all out and unleashed the full potential of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to achieve absolute dragon transformation of his own body parts, he would still be no match for Chu Chen!

But Chu Chen showed him respect and gave him a great sparring match.

"Boss, are you alright?"

Yu Tianheng was defeated and staggered to the ground.

The two brothers, Shi Mo and Shi Mo, hurriedly helped Yu Tianheng up. Although he was a little exhausted, Yu Tianheng felt incredibly relieved.

"Haha, awesome! Chu Chen, thank you for your willingness to go all out. I, Yu Tianheng, am completely convinced." Yu Tianheng laughed, his face pale.

Chu Chen smiled slightly in response.

After the war ended, Chu Chen and Ye Lingling left this place side by side and found a secluded place where Chu Chen personally refined immortal herbs for Ye Lingling.

"What a unique feeling! A strange energy is coursing through my body, and my soul power is rapidly increasing!"

Ye Lingling was overjoyed.

This feeling was something she, as a support-type Soul Master, had never experienced before.

"Lingling, guard your mind, I will refine the immortal herb for you," Chu Chen gently reminded her.

"Yes!" Ye Lingling maintained absolute trust in Chu Chen.

……

This refining process lasted for several hours.

The Nine-Heart Begonia in Ye Lingling's hand shone with a light like glass, crystal clear and reflecting a dazzling brilliance.

Chu Chen sat down in front of Ye Lingling and examined the Nine Heart Begonia in her hand. It seemed that after absorbing the immortal herb, the Nine Heart Begonia had become even purer!

"Compared to before, the Nine-Heart Begonia seems to have an extra strand of golden veins... Is it just my imagination? Why does the nine-colored light seem to have a faint feeling of being reborn?"

Chu Chen wanted to get closer to observe the Nine-Heart Begonia.

But Ye Lingling opened her eyes at this moment and looked at Chu Chen who was so close to her. Her heart started pounding. She was extremely nervous and her eyes darted away.

“Um…you…” Ye Lingling bit her red lips lightly.

Immediately, to Chu Chen's astonishment, she leaned forward slightly, her red lips touching his, then recoiled as if electrocuted, and stood up shyly.

Chapter 58 Sacred Flame Lion, a chance encounter in the stars... Qian Renxue?

"Um...I...I wasn't sitting properly..."

Ye Lingling's pretty face was flushed, making her look very cute.

Ye Lingling knew that Chu Chen had always been a part of her heart since he suddenly entered her world many years ago.

Her heart was small, once so small that it could only hold herself.

Now, Chu Chen has opened a crack in her heart and occupied it, and she thinks that's enough.

There isn't much room in a heart, but she found it, which is very lucky.

After a brief moment of surprise, Chu Chen's gaze turned fiery, and he pulled Ye Lingling into his arms. His slightly awkward action caused both of them to panic.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, perhaps amused by the silliness.

"Chu Chen, my soul power has increased to level 40, and I feel that it will increase further after obtaining the fourth soul ring."

Ye Lingling was overjoyed. Normally, she would need a long time to make up for such a huge improvement, but now, a single immortal herb had such an effect!

Moreover, it's not just about the increase in soul power.

Her physical attributes, and even her martial soul, seemed to have changed. Of course, the specific effects would only be truly revealed after she obtained her fourth spirit ring.

"I'll take you to get a spirit ring in a couple of days," Chu Chen said.

The effects of the immortal herb are remarkable; we must seize this opportunity and break through to the Soul Master level as soon as possible.

"Okay." Ye Lingling smiled sweetly.

……

"Lingling, you've also broken through to level 40? That's great! We can go get spirit rings together now."

The next day, Dugu Yan also broke through to level 40.

Since Chu Chen helped her control the Jade Phosphorus Serpent venom, her soul power had broken through to level 39, and in the meantime, she had finally broken through to level 40.

"Oh, the Ye family's little girl has also broken through. Perfect, let's set off together." Dugu Bo walked over and suggested to Chu Chen and Ye Lingling.

Chu Chen and Ye Lingling readily accepted this offer.

With Dugu Bo in charge, they could be protected in case of any crisis. Therefore, after renting two carriages from Tiandou City, the group headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest.

A day later, the four entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Chu Chen, aren't you afraid of Tang Hao...?"

Dugu Bo asked in secret, clearly still very concerned about Tang Hao as a potential threat.

"Don't worry, the senior who secretly helped me last time severely injured Tang Hao. Such a terrible injury cannot be healed in a short time."

Chu Chen reassured Dugu Bo that everything was fine.

He was the closest in that battle and saw it the most clearly!

That final strike almost shattered the void; had Tang Hao not been under the absolute amplification of the exploding ring, that strike would have been enough to kill him.

Even so, Tang Hao was still critically injured and on the verge of death!

Such an injury will likely require a very long time to heal.

"It seems you've attracted some attention, otherwise why would a mysterious expert be helping you?"

Dugu Bo joked.

Chu Chen remained silent. He didn't know when he had come into contact with another powerful figure, and he could only wait for an opportunity to find out the truth.

While searching for the soul beast, the group chatted amongst themselves.

"No matter what kind of spirit ring the Nine-Heart Begonia absorbs, it will develop healing spirit skills. This is a characteristic of the spirit and cannot be changed. However, when choosing spirit rings, we will still choose some healing-type spirit beasts to absorb."

Ye Lingling explained, "After all, a soul beast with healing abilities will inevitably produce a soul ring with healing abilities as well."

"Therefore, there is a certain probability that it will greatly enhance the healing ability of the Nine-Hearted Begonia. If it is really just for obtaining a soul ring, then as long as the age is suitable..."

Chu Chen then suggested, "In that case, what's the chance of our Nine-Heart Begonia evolving its martial soul by absorbing some plant-type soul beasts with healing abilities?"

"For example, my Blue Silver Emperor evolved to a certain extent after absorbing the first four spirit rings."

The gradually spreading golden natural patterns on the Blue Silver Emperor's evolution are proof of this!

"Hmm...it's difficult, and I've never heard of it before."

Ye Lingling shook her head; she was also quite confused about this matter.

"Martial spirits themselves possess infinite possibilities; who can predict them all?" Dugu Bo added appropriately.

The group ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest and soon found a thousand-year-old soul beast suitable for Dugu Yan. It was also a snake and possessed potent venom, making it the perfect match.

"Second Soul Skill: Life Deprivation"

Chu Chen's Blue Silver Emperor attacked, continuously stripping the soul beast of its life energy, leaving it with only a sliver of health and waiting to be killed by Dugu Yan.

Taking advantage of the moment when Dugu Yan was absorbing the soul ring, Chu Chen, relying on his natural connection with the Blue Silver Grass, realized that something was wrong.

"and many more…"

He stood up, unleashing a blue-silver domain.

Something was clearly approaching rapidly, and it was obviously heading in their direction. The soul beast was very powerful; it must be a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and its age was quite high.

"Old poisoner, there's something here."
