Chapter 73 Act separately
During these few days, Chen Yuan was either traveling, absorbing immortal herbs, or absorbing soul rings. Although his body could still hold on, he was somewhat tired mentally.

Now back at Tiandou Royal Academy, Chen Yuan had a comfortable dinner, took a shower, and went to bed. However, he did not go to sleep immediately, but continued to meditate as usual.

When he entered the meditative state, he felt something different from before. His consciousness seemed to have entered a black hole. This black hole was naturally the dragon ball, which became his soul core after he refined it.

As expected of a special soul beast like the Black Dragon, its speed of absorbing and refining the energy of heaven and earth is still at the level of a ten-thousand-year soul beast. Chen Yuan’s consciousness descended during meditation, and his cultivation speed doubled again.

The dragon ball seemed to be stimulated, and in the process of absorbing and refining the energy of heaven and earth, it was also slowly growing. Perhaps, this dragon ball was also like an external soul bone, which could continue to grow after being refined. In that case, the dragon ball could be said to be a special external soul bone.

At this moment, Chen Yuan thought in his heart:

"With this dragon ball, my soul power is slowly increasing 24 hours a day. When I meditate, the speed of soul power growth is doubled, which can save me a lot of practice time. It seems that I am lucky."

'This dragon ball has the attribute of darkness. It has the ability to corrode, expand, and devour. If I can comprehend the attribute of darkness and actively use it in battle, it will greatly enhance my strength.'

When Chen Yuan thought of this, he immersed his consciousness into the dragon ball while meditating and practicing, and comprehended the dark attributes of it.

At the same time, Chen Yuan, who was sitting on his bed in the room, seemed to have turned into a black hole. The energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, and even the light, were directly swallowed up by his body, which made his soul power steadily advance towards level 46.

……

The next day!

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both did not go to class, so Chen Yuan took them directly to ask for leave from the three education committee members.

The three education committee members looked at each other in bewilderment. He had just started school and was asking for leave. They seriously demanded a legitimate reason.

Chen Yuan thought about the fact that his soul power had increased after hunting soul beasts. He couldn't hide it, so he said:

"I'll take them to hunt soul beasts. They all have soul power of level 30."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three education committee members were petrified, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost on their faces. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, one had a soul power of level 27 and the other level 28, how come they both had soul power of level 30 now?

This speed of improvement is too abnormal.

Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin were all people who knew when to advance and when to retreat. They did not pursue the matter any further and finally agreed to give the three of them a vacation. As long as it was beneficial to the academy, they did not have to intervene.

Then, Chen Yuan successfully took Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing away from Tiandou Royal Academy and were about to part.

Chen Yuan said to Ning Rongrong:
“Rongrong, after you go back this time, if you want to buy hidden weapons from Tang San, you must report Tang San’s situation to the Sect Master truthfully. Tang San is a blacksmith, and those hidden weapons were made by himself. There were three great blacksmiths on the continent, Lou Gao, Tai Tan, and Tang Hao. Perhaps this Tang San has a relationship with one of these three. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible.”

Ning Rongrong heard this and nodded thoughtfully:

"Brother Chen Yuan, I understand. You are right. Tang San's blacksmith heritage most likely came from a master craftsman famous in the continent."

Seeing her like this, Chen Yuan said no more. These were enough for Ning Fengzhi to judge Tang San's identity. For a smart man like Ning Fengzhi, it was best not to try to teach him how to do things. Give him some clues and let him reason for himself. This would please him and make him owe a favor.

Then, Ning Rongrong skipped away and headed for the gate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Chen Yuan didn't need to worry about Ning Rongrong's safety. There would be no shortage of people around her to protect Ning Rongrong, and she also had a set of hidden weapons that were enough to kill the Soul Sect.

After a moment, Chen Yuan said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Let's go too. If we want to hunt thousand-year soul beasts, ordinary soul hunting forests simply can't meet our requirements. Let's go to the Sunset Forest first. It is the premier wild soul beast forest in the Tiandou Empire."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded when she heard this. Only she and Chen Yuan were left. She wanted to say something but was too nervous to speak.

I had no choice but to follow Chen Yuan and walk forward slowly, so that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

At this moment, Chen Yuan took the initiative to speak:
"The third soul skill, sword wings are like flying!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked up and saw Chen Yuan already standing on the flying sword, and he extended his hand to her:
"Come on up, walking is too slow."

Zhu Zhuqing was hesitant in her heart, but her body was very honest. She took the initiative to stretch out her hand and place it on Chen Yuan's hand. Chen Yuan exerted a little force and his body was pulled into the air and then landed on the flying sword.

Then a flash of sword light flew straight into the sky...

It was Zhu Zhuqing's first time to experience flying. The feeling of weightlessness made her body unstable in an instant. Chen Yuan very "considerately" hugged her slender waist and pulled her into his arms. The hot breath made her dizzy.

After a long time, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and said in a very low voice:
"Chen Yuan, we are really sorry to Rong Rong for doing this."

Chen Yuan heard this and nodded sincerely:
"Indeed, I am very sorry, Rongrong."

After hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was also stunned, and couldn't help but complain in her heart:

"I know I'm sorry to Rongrong, but I haven't forgotten to take advantage of me."

Chen Yuan said with some emotion:
"Maybe, I'm no different from other men. I'm greedy. I eat what's in the bowl and keep looking at what's in the pot..."

Zhu Zhuqing turned her head and looked at Chen Yuan at this time, her eyes were firm and her voice was soft:

"No, you are different from other men. You are strong, gentle, considerate, and careful. For a woman, you can stand up firmly when she is in danger instead of being a coward. In her eyes, you are better than all the men in the whole continent."

Chen Yuan raised the corner of his mouth. He knew that there would be no problem in winning Zhu Zhuqing. As expected, as long as he was good enough, everything would be fine.

After all, this is Douluo Continent. In the original story, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing not only kissed Tang San, but when they kissed Tang San, Oscar and Dai Mubai, the two green-haired turtles, were watching from the side with encouragement on their faces.

It sounds abstract and cliché, but this actually happened in the original story. I guess if Tang San wanted to have a harem, there would be no Oscar and Dai Mubai.

In addition, Tang San's Ghost Shadow Mystery was sometimes effective and sometimes not. It never failed when a man hit him, and never worked when a woman kissed him.

At this time, Chen Yuan said directly:

"Give me a chance to protect you?"

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes slightly, her pretty face flushed, and she responded softly:

"Um……"
