Chapter 57: The Efficiency of Celebrities

  Su Qingchen's body was accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, and the saturated soul power seemed to have found an outlet, gushing into his soul like a spring, transforming the sword spirit within him, shining with dazzling light like a piece of extraordinary jade.

  When the last wisp of soul power entered the sword spirit, the sword spirit seemed to have gained spirituality, spinning out of its body in an instant and floating above Su Qingchen's palm. If one looked closely, they would definitely discover that the three-inch sword spirit had grown significantly.

  As Su Qingchen broke through successfully, the suction on his shoulder suddenly stopped. Zhang Long's body leaned back, and his hands also left Su Qingchen's shoulders. At this time, the Ling nucleus in the palm of his left hand also shattered unintentionally, as if it had completed its mission and disappeared into thin air.

  Zhang Long looked at the palm of his left hand with some heartache. This was something he had managed to preserve after using up a lot of brain cells and risking breakthrough failure. He had originally planned to show it off in front of Su Qingchen, but unexpectedly used it like this without getting any benefits for himself.

  Zhang Long looked at Su Qingchen, who was still cultivating, with some trepidation. He didn't understand what had just happened and didn't dare to approach him again. If he got sucked in once more, he wouldn't have a second fifth-grade spirit core on hand.

  A moment later, Su Qingchen's soul power in his body returned to a saturated state, and the Soul Decision automatically stopped rotating. He slowly opened his eyes, saw the changes in his body, and with a hint of confusion on his face, he said: "How did I break through without realizing it?"

  Zhang Long's face turned black as he heard Su Qingchen's words, and if possible, he would have beaten him to the ground. Zhang Long's face showed a helpless expression, and he sighed before speaking: "Boss, what was wrong with you just now? Why did you absorb someone's soul power without even discussing it with them? Do you know how many purple gold coins you absorbed just now?"

  Su Qingchen stared at Zhang Long with a confused expression: "What did I absorb, how many purple gold coins? Why would I absorb that thing, I felt strange just now, I was practicing my soul decision in my mind, it seemed like I grasped something, then the soul decision started to operate on its own, and I felt a surge of extremely pure soul power entering my body, then I felt like I found the breakthrough point, and my consciousness chose to break through, fortunately that pure soul power persisted until after I broke through before disappearing."

  Zhang Long looked at Su Qingchen as if he was looking at a monster, practicing the Soul Decree in his mind? Self-awareness chose to break through? The Soul Decree operated on its own? Every point was unimaginable for Zhang Long, not only had he never experienced it himself, but also had never heard of it.

  Su Qingchen's two lifetimes as a human, his soul cultivation far surpassed that of ordinary people, and could be mentioned in the same breath as spiritual soul masters. His powerful soul brought great benefits to Su Qingchen, also making him more perceptive than ordinary people when it came to Soul Decisions and Soul Techniques.

  "Boss, do you know where that surge of soul power came from just now?" Zhang Long asked with a pained expression after recovering from his shock.

  "I don't know, I was just lost in thought and didn't notice what's going on outside," Su Qingchen said calmly.

  "That's my little brother, my fifth-grade spirit core! My old man left it to me for breaking through my cultivation. Just now, you sucked it all in one breath. Luckily, I have this one on me, otherwise when you woke up, you wouldn't see the lively and lovely me, but maybe just a dry corpse." Zhang Long said with a bitter face, like a bankrupt businessman, hanging his head.

  "A fifth-grade spirit core? No wonder I was able to break through the initial stage and enter the lower stage, it turns out it's like this, not bad at all, saved me a lot of time." Su Qingchen said with an expressionless face, as if absorbing a fifth-grade spirit core was nothing out of the ordinary.

  "Boss, a fifth-level spirit core worth over a thousand purple gold coins? You're not even tempted?" Zhang Long said to Su Qingchen with some anxiety.

  "What, over a thousand purple gold coins? It's so expensive, damn it, why didn't you say that earlier, I wouldn't have broken through if I had known." Su Qingchen said in surprise, his face showing an extremely strange expression.

  Zhang Long was momentarily speechless, with only one thought in his mind - to give Su Qingchen a good beating. However, thinking that Su Qingchen had already reached the lower ranks of the Spirit Realm, he quietly dispelled this notion and forced a smile onto his face: "Boss, isn't it just a fifth-level spirit? Wait till I reach middle-level cultivation, then I'll go back home and ask my dad for an even higher-ranked one."

  After hearing Zhang Long's words of self-comfort, Su Qingchen's face revealed a hint of a smile. When she saw Zhang Long's expression, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart. The exaggerated expression she had just made was for Zhang Long to see, and it was only meant to comfort his wounded heart.

  "Boss, I'll take you to a great place. This afternoon, we'll have a good time." Zhang Long said with a sly smile, and the previous matter had already been thrown out of his mind.

  Su Qingchen shuddered all over, a vague feeling arose, and she looked at Zhang Long vigilantly: "Where do you want to go?"

  "Older brother, have you forgotten? We went there before school started, but it was ruined by your sister-in-law." Zhang Long said with a silly smile on his face.

  Su Qingchen touched his head, feeling a bit depressed. This young Long Xiao was already fond of visiting brothels at such a young age. If he grew up like this, wouldn't he become a playboy? Whoever fell in love with him would be miserable for eight lifetimes.

  Looking at Su Qingchen's somewhat unusual expression, Zhang Long nodded and said: "Boss, anyway you don't dare to go to the actual combat class, your cultivation has just broken through, I'm sincerely taking you to enjoy it, you can't disappoint my good intentions."

  "Who says I don't dare go to a real combat class?" Su Qingchen blurted out without thinking.

  Zhang Long nodded sympathetically and looked at Su Qingchen, saying: "The school already knows about it now?"

  Su Qingchen helplessly lowered his head, when did he become so famous? He had always been low-key, why would a small matter make him known to everyone.

  "Older brother, actually I'm quite envious of you. Your sister-in-law is indeed pretty and has a good figure. It's just that I don't know what's wrong with your brain, you don't want to take responsibility. If I were Bing Xin's sister, I would definitely hunt you down. To be honest, this thing you've done is really not right." Zhang Long said with some resentment on his face.

  Just as Zhang Long finished speaking, Su Qingchen slapped him on the head; "Can't you stop mentioning this? If it gets out, I'll be dead. And from now on, don't call me 'big sister' again, I have nothing to do with Bing Xin." Su Qingchen's eyes flashed a warning as she spoke.

  Zhang Long pouted, stuck out his tongue, and then said: "Boss, stop teasing. Your sneaky peek at Bing Xin's bath isn't a secret; at least half the school knows about it. You're probably unaware that since you won the Newcomer Championship, you've become an overnight sensation. Plus, with Big Sis being the number one beauty in this year's student body, the passionate affair between two celebrities like yourselves spreads like wildfire - not even a bit exaggerated."
