The next day, Tang San is missing. Probably left to find a soul ring with his teacher. Lu Chen got to the class and listened to the theory before going to the library. He asked for books on herbs, alchemy and even tried finding something on blacksmithing and soul guides.
But sadly, he only books on herbs. Alchemy is an unfamiliar subject. As for blacksmithing and metallurgy, there are plenty of them on it. Though they're more about forging metals properly and instructions about the temperature rather than a technique.
He returned to the blacksmith shop and continued his work as an assistant. When free the boss, Mu Yi taught him few things. Like the colour of metal that needs to be taken out of forge for hammering, the temperature to start forging, few advices on how to quench the metal etc.,
Lu Chen listened intently. He glanced at his skill panel. Few skills are generated already after hearing sole advices from the boss. Lu Chen continued his work and when there is free time he cultivated in the forge for sometime before started practicing blacksmithing.
The boss who is free after delivering some orders guided him well on this. Lu Chen continued his work until it's dark and retired to the dorms. This time Xiao Wu didn't trouble him. She just gave him glares. Lu Chen just put on a innocent expression before continuing his own business.
The next day when he is returning from the classes, the formal students provoked them into a fight. Although Lu Chen wanted to stay away from there guys he is dragged into the fight by Wang Sheng and others as they saw his mountain fist during his fight with Xiao Wu.
Lu Chen grumbled internally. Xiao Wu gave him a huff and turned away. As one by one insults increased both sides agreed to fight at the back of the school so teachers won't stop them. Looking at the bunch of kids throwing insults at each other, Lu Chen can only sigh.
In the end, Wang Sheng fought the guy with staff. His name seems to be Liu Long or something. And then with a guy who has a wolf martial soul. Wang Sheng lost, he quickly grabbed Lu Chen and asked," brother Chen, please uphold justice for me. Fight them ".
Lu Chen sighed internally before nodding. As the wolf guy charged at him, he immediately possessed his own martial soul before throwing the mountain fist at the incoming claw.
*Bam*
*Crack*
"Ahhhhh", With a sickening sound, the bone broke in the boy's hand. He glared at Lu Chen, but before he can say anything blue silver grass bound him. He tried to rip it all off but Tang San arrived on the scene and said," Tang San, blue silver grass, 13th level control system. Please give me advice ".
The students exclaimed. " That's a hundred years old soul ring " ," how can blue silver grass has such strong tenacity. Even a soul master with beast martial soul can't break it ", Tang San said with a smirk while narrowing his eyes," just so you know. My soul ring is from a mandala snake. It has a portion of mandala snake venom in it. And I don't have the ability to detoxify it ".
Xiao Chenyu ordered," so what? He is the only one there with a hundred years old soul ring. We have numbers. Overwhelm him. Attack them ", Xiao Wu jumped to the front at this time and said," who said he is the only one with hundred years old soul ring".
Xiao Wu jumped forward to the front with a smirk showing off her soul ring and said," I have one too", the formal students broke into cold sweats seeing the two soul masters who are younger than them with hundred years old soul rings not to mention the boy who didn't even absorb a soul ring yet but was able to break someone's bones with a single punch.
They gulped and surrendered. Tang San turned to Lu Chen and asked," is that your self-created soul skill? ", Lu Chen said," yes, I created it myself ", Tang San nodded. With his purple demon eye he noticed the skill is adding soul power into the fist to burst out with an explosive attack with fearsome strength and power.
It needs good physical endurance which Lu Chen has thanks to him excercising since he is three and also because of the boost from his beast martial soul. Without his martial soul the effectiveness of the punch will reduce by 30%. Tang San just nodded. He has a little suspicion at first but seeing the soul skill he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's similar to his mysterious heaven skill internal qi combined with a palm strike but more effective. Tang San can learn it too but with his physical strength he can't do it as effectively as Lu Chen. Moreover Lu Chen has the passive skill slots which offered him continous mastery of the skill.
Tang San then approached Xiao Wu and spoke with her. Xiao Wu approached Lu Chen after few minutes. He frowned as he felt trouble whenever this girl is near. It's better to avoid her. But Xiao Wu didn't provoke him this time. She said," hmph, at least you fought for us. I will forgive you for almost smashing my head last time ".
Lu Chen blinked then said," uh sure. I also apologise. I didn't use my mountain fist with martial soul possession in the past. It's my first time using that with martial soul and lost control. Sorry for that".
Xiao Wu turn d her head away with a humph and then left. Lu Chen scratched his head, seems like he said too much or maybe this rabbit is too silly for him to handle. Tang San gave him an apologetic gaze and chased after Xiao Wu. The working students and formal students also disappeared. Lu Chen went to th library and started studying more herbs. He will invent alchemy by himself. With passive cultivation system, he is sure he will develop this skill to a very good level in a few years.
