Lu Yu, Martial Soul : Iron Chest, Soul Power : Level 4?
Looking at the rusty iron chest in the boy's hand, the deacon felt a pang of disappointment. He sighed and said," boy, although it's a trash martial soul, you can still cultivate as you have soul power. Here, this is your martial soul certificate. Use this to enroll in the Nouding Junior Academy ".
He spoke and left the shrine as Lu Yu is last one to awaken his martial soul and his duty is complete in this village. As he left, Lu Yu looked at the treasure chest in his hand with a disbelief. His cheat is none other than this martial soul. His treasure chest allows him to get various things when he opens it or even when others opens it.
If others opened it, he will get the same thing they got from this treasure chest. A cheat disguised as a waste martial soul, isn't that great? Well, he won't say anything more. Seems like it behaved like a normal treasure chest martial soul after getting soul rings, but daily he can open treasure chests corresponding to his level of soul power.
Like now, he has level 4 soul power and he can open 4 treasure chests. With each level added, another treasure chest can be opened and with each soul ring, the quality of rewards will also improve so as the grade of treasure chest. It also has the innate ability to store anything in a different dimension. Except living beings, everything can be stored and preserved perfectly as the dimension inside doesn't have the concept of time.
Lu Yu returned to his house and opened the four treasure chests.
First treasure chest - Minor improvement in soul power.
Second treasure chest - body strengthening elixirs
Third treasure chest - 100 Gold Coins.
Fourth treasure chest - a delicious pork.
He didn't expect the treasure chest will give out things like this. He is baffled when he saw the things from treasure chest. Maybe he can start a business on this? Absolutely not. If someone knew he hasthios heaven defying martial soul, the first thing they will do, is locking him away and using him for their selfish intentions. So, nah, unless that person is someone who is completely trustworthy he won't reveal anything to anyone.
Looking at the bottle of body tempering elixir pills, he placed one in his mouth and it melted immediately. A strange warmth spread throughout his body along with a slight tingling pain. He groaned in discomfort as his body start heating up like crazy. He literally see steam coming out of his body.
A few minutes later, the sensation settled down. The improvement is good. He can feel, he is moderately stronger in physique compared to before. There is no black substance or anything. Just his body covered in sweat. Taking a bath, he took out the pork and started eating it. The taste is so good. He ate the whole pork in less than a few minutes.
He has like 2 months to enroll in the Nouding Junior Academy. Lu Yu is thinking about joining as a normal student instead of working student. That way, he won't be under the radar of Tang Hao. He didn't trust that duo of father and son a bit. Tang San will use people until they can't be of any use any longer.
Tang Hao meanwhile is an outright barbarian with brutality and cruel means. He won't care if it's a child or old people. When angered he won't care about anyone and smash them to pieces. So yeah, needs to stay vigilant against this guy. Moreover, as a work Student he needs to stay in a dormitory with everyone and his secrets won't be secrets anymore.
The next few weeks passed by like a breeze and Lu Yu opened many treasure chests in meantime. His soul power also reached level 5 and close to level 6. As for why it's still low even with the cheat, there is a reason for that. Firstly, the cultivation technique he received from the chest and second an artifact that is now bound to his soul.
The cultivation technique he received is - Primordial Origin Scripture. And the treasure he received is the Sacred Heart Pearl. It cleanses his body, purifies any harmful substances inside him and absorb the substances to use for later. These are only it's abilities in a sealed state not in it's true form. So he didn't know it's other abilities.
For bonding with it, he lost a level of soul power. And the cultivation technique also condensed his soul power more and more, reducing his advancement speed in cultivation. And this technique can even be used in divine realm after becoming a god. It's a complex and powerful technique that has many levels to it.
Anyway, with the sacred heart pearl by his side along with the primordial origin art, he is looking forward to the Nouding Junior Academy.
