Chapter 27 Zhu Zhuqing Being Chased
"No matter. A meal must be eaten 1 bite at a time. You have already done very well."
Zhou Chen stood up and stretched out his left hand. A light flashed in his palm, and 2 scrolls that were 1 chi long appeared.
"I always reward merit and punish faults. In view of your contributions, I have decided to bestow cultivation methods upon you. This is so that in the future, you can make greater contributions to my Purple Micro Palace!"
"Cultivation method?"
Seeing the 2 scrolls in Zhou Chen's hands, Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng's eyes simultaneously became burning hot!
On the Douluo Continent, the cultivation methods of the vast majority of Soul Masters were just simple meditation. Even the aristocratic clans only had some small techniques for cultivating soul power, but none had formed a system.
The lack of mature soul power cultivation methods resulted in the Soul Masters' cultivation speed depending entirely on their own talent, the quality of the Martial Soul, and the configuration of the soul rings. It did not depend on their own hard work.
However, the cultivation methods Zhou Chen bestowed upon his subordinates could substantially increase cultivation speed!
On this point, Xiao Chenyu and Wang Sheng had heard rumors long ago.
According to what they knew, Dean Makesi had obtained the Green Light Art bestowed by Zhou Chen.
This Green Light Art was said to be able to sense the plants between heaven and earth. It could also perform photosynthesis and absorb sunlight, complementing Dean Makesi's plant-type Ghost Vine Martial Soul.
It was also because of this that Makesi, in a short 6 years, relied on this cultivation method and a few pills to advance by leaps and bounds from a Level 42 Soul Ancestor to Level 70. He was only 1 soul ring away from becoming a Soul Sage!
All along, they had been very envious of Makesi. Now, learning that they would also be bestowed with cultivation methods, the excitement of the 2 was beyond words.
"Chenyu, your Martial Soul is a wolf. Wolves are bloodthirsty, cruel, and agile by nature, making them suitable for this Blood Fiend Art. It is just that... the Blood Fiend Art has a flaw, which is that it will make you gradually grow fond of sucking blood."
"Sucking blood?" Xiao Chenyu exclaimed in surprise.
"Correct, but it does not necessarily have to be human blood. Drinking pig blood or cow blood is also acceptable. Moreover, sucking blood can rapidly increase your soul power level." Zhou Chen explained faintly.
"Then this subordinate is willing."
Xiao Chenyu agreed without hesitation.
As long as he could rapidly increase his soul power, so what if he had to suck blood?
"Good. You stand here and do not move around."
Zhou Chen chuckled and immediately summoned the System, preparing to perform the cultivation method infusion.
"Ding... Do you wish to call upon the Blood Fiend Art? This is the inheritance cultivation method of the Blood Sect in the Black Corner Region of the Battle Through the Heavens plane. It is Earth Class Low Rank.
One can rely on sucking blood to rapidly increase cultivation, but it can only increase one to the Dou Emperor level at most. Friendly reminder: The hidden dangers of this bloodline are significant, please use with caution."
"Yes."
Zhou Chen spoke decisively.
Since he was not the one using it anyway, he could just ignore the hidden dangers.
Moreover, a Dou Emperor of the Battle Through the Heavens plane could fly in the sky and burrow into the earth, as well as manipulate the energy of heaven and earth. A full-strength attack could even shatter mountains and destroy cities.
Their strength was much higher than that of most Title Douluos. This upper limit was already very high!
"Ding... Host authorized. Target: Xiao Chenyu..."
"Beginning cultivation method infusion!"
"Boom!"
A pillar of light shot out from Zhou Chen's palm, instantly enveloping Xiao Chenyu. Countless light particles, like beautiful fireflies, ceaselessly merged into his body.
This miraculous scene left Wang Sheng, who was watching from the side, dumbstruck. He could not help but feel even more expectant in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Chenyu felt as if he had been placed in an ice cave. The bone-piercing chill caused his blood to almost freeze!
After an unknown amount of time passed, the pillar of light finally dissipated.
The current Xiao Chenyu had a face that had become unusually feminine and pale. He looked just like a vampire.
Clearly, the influence of the Blood Fiend Art on him was quite significant.
"How do you feel?" Zhou Chen raised a brow.
"Phew..."
Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Xiao Chenyu immediately knelt on 1 knee and spoke in a deep voice. "This subordinate's soul power has increased by 2 levels, and my body has become unusually cold. Aside from this, there seems to be nothing else."
"Do you have the urge to drink blood?" Zhou Chen asked with some curiosity.
Hearing these words, Xiao Chenyu spoke somewhat awkwardly. "Not at the moment."
"Oh, that is good."
Zhou Chen nodded and turned to look at Wang Sheng. "Your Martial Soul is the War Tiger. As the saying goes, clouds follow the dragon and wind follows the tiger. This Wind Scroll Art is quite suitable for you."
Speaking thus, Zhou Chen once again had the System infuse the cultivation method into Wang Sheng.
"Thank you for the bestowal, Palace Master! This subordinate will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
After accepting the infusion of the cultivation method, Wang Sheng immediately knelt on 1 knee and spoke respectfully.
"Alright, rise. There is still serious business to attend to."
Zhou Chen waved his hand to let Wang Sheng rise, then continued speaking. "The people of the Star Luo Royal Dark Guard have already appeared near Nuoding City. They are rushing in the direction of the Balake Kingdom."
"You must immediately summon the Tianshu Guards and follow me to destroy them!"
"We obey."
...
At the same time.
30 li away from Nuoding City, within a dense forest.
A young girl dressed in a tight black dress was lightly treading on the treetops, shuttling back and forth.
This young girl had long black hair draped over her shoulders, and her small fair face was slightly lowered. She was tall with slender, well-proportioned legs. However, her figure was very good, like that of an adult, simply not matching her age.
In contrast to her good figure, the young girl's body exuded a coldness that came from within. Her pair of beautiful eyes did not even hold a trace of vitality; they were completely filled with a dead silence and icy coldness.
On her right shoulder, there was a penetrating wound, clearly caused by a sharp arrow. Although this wound had already been bandaged, it still oozed traces of bright red blood.
Clearly, the young girl was being pursued.
After shuttling for a distance of several li, the young girl planned to rest for a moment. However, a mocking female voice suddenly sounded in her ear:
"Zhu Zhuqing, my good younger sister, do you think you can escape?"
