Chapter 34: 【power Of Molten Stone】
“I don’t know if Su Chen has drawn out Qi Chuan’s people.”
Meanwhile, Jiang He, who had returned to the academy, saw Su Chen leaving with Bai Fengxi.
She had long ago learned from her father about the ruins appearing, and this city patrol had only lasted one or two days, so Qi Chuan’s people probably hadn’t made their move yet.
Or maybe they already had; she would find an opportunity to ask him.
“Just right…” Jiang He licked her lips.
“Green Scaled Lion Pack, the leader was still a Second Order mutant, have you all seen that? At the most dangerous moment, it was only half a meter away from me…”
“You all don’t know how dangerous the situation was at the time; it was all thanks to my Su bro who turned the tide…”
Jiang He paused in her steps, her gaze glancing toward a small group that had just gathered in the distance, where someone was spittle-flying in excitement.
“Liu Liang…” Jiang He recognized the other, who was also one of the students who went out of the city this time.
“Who’s Su bro?” someone asked blankly.
“You don’t even know Su bro…” Liu Liang widened his eyes, “Su Chen!”
“Oh, Teacher Jiang He’s pretty boy!” someone realized.
“What pretty boy, watch your respect!” Liu Liang angrily scolded, “My Su bro all by himself, ka ka ka took out the entire Green Scaled Lion Pack except the leader, and the combat process took less than ten minutes.”
“What? Real or fake?”
“He’s that strong?”
Exclamations rose one after another, Jiang He’s pupils contracted; he took out the Green Scaled Lion Pack?
That kid was actually strong to this extent.
“Not only that…” Liu Liang had a mysterious look, “You all know about the theft case at our school a while ago, right.”
The crowd nodded like little chickens pecking rice.
“That was also cracked by my Su bro!” Liu Liang said proudly: “Su bro is a student of Vice Principal Yuan, secretly infiltrated in the city patrol team, and in one move found the stolen items; even the City Lord greatly praised him.”
Jiang He stiffly turned her head; Yuan Chenyang’s student? Secret infiltration? What was all this?
“Sigh…” Liu Liang’s eyes sharpened, spotting Jiang He standing on the periphery, and he couldn’t help shouting excitedly: “Sister-in-law!”
Sister-in-law? Jiang He’s face darkened, and she hurried away.
It wasn’t that no one had called her sister-in-law before, but no one had called her that from Su Chen’s standpoint; she still had face.
The crowd reluctantly withdrew their gazes from Jiang He’s graceful back, and someone suddenly said: “So, Su Chen isn’t Teacher Jiang He’s pretty boy?”
“Bullshit!” Liu Liang spat angrily, “My Su bro is a romantic rogue, and with Teacher Jiang it’s a mutual love… no, deep affection between lovers, how is he a pretty boy?”
“Whoever calls my Su bro a pretty boy from now on, I’m picking a fight with them!”
……
Yuan Chenyang’s home was also a standalone villa located deep in South Wind City, with no female owner, empty and spacious, with many rooms.
“Old Bai…” Su Chen called out; after figuring out Bai Fengxi’s identity, he didn’t mind calling her Martial Uncle, but Bai Fengxi seemed unable to accept it and still had him call her Old Bai.
“No need for formalities between family; do you have any powerful mental meditation methods.”
Hitting the snake with the stick… Bai Fengxi inwardly complained, pondering: “You want to cultivate both body and mental dual professions at the same time?”
“Isn’t this standard for geniuses.”
Where did this theory come from; Bai Fengxi shook her head: “Still, let’s first check your mental talent; if it’s not too good, then don’t waste time.”
Su Chen was quite curious: “Does this talent have any classification standards?”
His predecessor had no memories on this, and at South Wind Academy, very few people mentioned it, only knowing there was such a thing as talent.
“Regular talents are basically divided into Bronze, Brilliant Silver, Crimson Gold, etc…” Bai Fengxi explained, “The quality of talent mainly determines your speed in practicing training methods, while also affecting profession development progress.”
“There are also some special talents…” At this point, she paused, then said: “For example, those that are extremely compatible with certain specific professions, but they’re very rare.”
The two discussed for a while, and not long after, the room door opened.
The one who returned wasn’t Yuan Chenyang, but…
“Su Chen bro?” Little Pigeon excitedly ran over, then abruptly stopped in front of Su Chen, “Why are you here?”
Su Chen grinned, pinching Little Pigeon’s cheek, “To see how you’re doing; living in such a big house, must be very comfortable.”
Little Pigeon discontentedly swatted away Su Chen’s hand, while Bai Fengxi said mildly: “He will be living here from now on.”
“Ah?” Little Pigeon was shocked, suspiciously eyeing the two, frowning: “Su Chen bro, what did you do with your body this time?”
Bai Fengxi’s fair cheeks visibly stiffened, and Su Chen said irritably: “Kid, don’t talk nonsense.”
“When you had me carry bricks before, you didn’t think I was a kid and even told me to carry a couple more.” Little Pigeon scoffed.
“Carry more, earn more.”
“Miss, this gentleman, will you be eating dinner?” the servant who brought Little Pigeon back asked.
Bai Fengxi came back to her senses: “He needs nutrient solution too; just prepare for one person, Little Pigeon.”
Su Chen closed his just-opened mouth; that was also his plan.
The three chattered for a long time, mostly Little Pigeon talking by herself.
After eating, Yuan Chenyang still hadn’t returned; Bai Fengxi took him to the tidied room.
“Do you have body tempering potions?” Su Chen called after her.
Bai Fengxi glanced at him, “Wait.”
Soon, she brought a bottle of Blood Activating Potion.
“Blood Activating…” Su Chen was slightly disappointed but still said: “Thanks.”
Bai Fengxi left speechless.
The room wasn’t small; Su Chen took a simple look around, then assumed a stance, poured the Blood Activating Potion into his mouth, and the familiar surging sensation echoed through his body.
For four or five days straight, Su Chen stayed here; Yuan Chenyang didn’t know what was up and never came back.
He drank seven or eight portions of Blood Activating Potion from Bai Fengxi, to the point that every time Su Chen knocked on the door, her face was black.
This day, Su Chen was sitting cross-legged on the floor, his skin turned crimson red, lava-like patterns nearly spreading across his entire body, teeth clenched tight, sweat evaporating into steam the moment it emerged.
Abruptly, Su Chen’s movements paused; he only felt stinging pain all over, the lava patterns on his skin fully spreading across his body, and then his whole body felt like it had entered a hot spring.
【Molten Stone Training Method——Master】
【Gained ability–Molten Stone Power: Body rolls in lava, skin tough as stone】
【Molten Stone Training Method】 entered Master Level; the gained ability took effect immediately. Su Chen only felt his skin tingling intensely, like ants crawling in his muscles; this sensation lasted quite a while before ending.
“Tough as stone…” Su Chen stroked his skin and could clearly feel the hardening of the keratin layer.
He casually took a dagger and tested it on his skin, resulting in only a white mark left behind.
“Even the First Order professions known for defense are probably just like this.” Su Chen couldn’t help thinking, his gaze toward the panel even more fervent.
He had already figured it out: other training methods could indeed possibly produce special abilities.
But without exception, they all required massive time investment in research, and weren’t guaranteed to produce one, with huge randomness.
While he only needed to raise it to Master Level, and the ability would naturally emerge; this advantage was incomparable.
