Chapter 121 Meng Hongchen Breaks Through, Sets Off for the Death Forest
After finishing his meal, Yunze followed Meng Hongchen to her room to begin his daily cultivation.
Before cultivating, Yunze took out the Ferocious Soul Carving Knife from his storage soul tool, so that Meng Hongchen could continuously improve in terms of soul power, martial soul attribute, and mental power. After
finishing his cultivation, Yunze returned to his own room.
However, he did not go to sleep immediately, but began to cultivate the Myriad Shadows Mental Power Secret Technique taught by Electrolux.
According to Electrolux's estimate, Yunze would be able to break through to the second level of the Myriad Shadows Technique in about two weeks, at which point he could begin to formally learn necromancy.
"Hoo!"
After finishing his cultivation, Yunze took out a rare and precious herb with ice and snow attributes from his storage pendant and began to refine and absorb its medicinal power. It wasn't
until late at night that Yunze officially ended his day's cultivation and fell into a deep sleep on his bed.
After waking up the next day, Yunze ate breakfast and went to Xuan Ziwen's research room at Mingde Hall.
As soon as Yunze reached the door, he heard a series of female voices coming from inside the research room.
He swiped his special soul guidance card on the soul guidance array next to the metal door, and the door opened.
Seeing Yunze arrive, Jiang Moli walked over, pulling him inside while playfully saying, "You're late, junior! Today is Professor Xuan's birthday, and we've been waiting for you to come so he can cut the cake!"
Yunze then noticed that Xuan Ziwen, sitting in the center of the group, was unusually smiling warmly. Clearly, this usually stern senior researcher wasn't as unapproachable as others imagined.
"Happy birthday, Professor Xuan," Yunze said after a moment's thought, taking a rare and precious herb from his storage pendant and handing it to Xuan Ziwen. "I'm sorry, Professor, I wasn't prepared properly, so I can only offer you this last-minute birthday gift."
"I really like it." Xuan Ziwen smiled slightly, accepting the rare and precious herb Yun Ze handed him. Upon touching it, he felt a cool, refreshing sensation.
Although the herb wasn't particularly old, it was still useful to Xuan Ziwen. His age was a factor, and it would be difficult for him to find a breakthrough opportunity anytime soon. While this herb wouldn't directly help him break through, it would certainly offer some benefits.
"Teacher, teacher, I also have something for you!" The lively and adorable senior Tang Ruoyi also presented her gift to Xuan Ziwen, giggling, "Happy birthday, Teacher Xuan! I wish you a speedy breakthrough to a level nine Soul Master!"
"Thank you." Xuan Ziwen responded politely.
The other girls also presented their gifts and blessings. The last to present a gift was Liu Qing, who had already prepared her gift: a level seven Soul Tool.
Xuan Ziwen gave Liu Qing a deep look. A level seven Soul Tool wasn't particularly rare for him, but his expression became somewhat complicated.
Clearly, Xuan Ziwen was also aware that his female student had feelings for him.
"Liu Qing, thank you for your hard work," Xuan Ziwen said softly after a moment of silence.
Liu Qing gently shook her head, "It's nothing, teacher. I'm very happy to have made a soul tool for you myself."
"Alright, alright, teacher, hurry up and cut the cake!" Tang Ruoyi chattered from the side.
Xuan Ziwen smiled slightly, nodded, took a long knife from Liu Qing, and neatly cut the cake into several pieces, then placed them on plates and handed them to everyone. "Junior brother~ Can I switch plates with you? I like fruit~" Tang Ruoyi blinked, looking pitifully at Yun Ze. He smiled and immediately switched plates with her.
It
was unexpected that the Sun Moon Empire had such a birthday tradition; it brought back many memories.
After a simple birthday party, everyone continued their daily studies and crafting soul tools.
Yun Ze was still studying soul tool arrays, just like yesterday. Perhaps due to the effects of cultivating the mental power secret technique and the Fierce Soul Carving Knife, Yun Ze clearly noticed that his learning ability had improved again!
With Yun Ze's inherent comprehension, coupled with this increased learning ability, his learning speed was naturally like eating a whole pack of gum—completely unstoppable.
After finishing his day's studies, Yun Ze returned to the villa and continued cultivating with Meng Hongchen.
According to Yun Ze's calculations, he estimated that he would be able to break through from level 44 to level 45 in a while.
And so, day after day passed.
Four days later!
On the sofa in the villa, Yunze watched as Meng Hongchen stored some daily necessities into her storage soul tool. Even though he already knew, he couldn't help but frown and ask, "Sister Meng, are you really planning to go to the Death Forest with me?"
"Hmm, I've been thinking about it. We're both going to obtain soul rings, but the Death Forest doesn't have a limited variety of soul beasts. If possible, I might be able to obtain a suitable soul ring there," Meng Hongchen said with a slight smile. "Besides, I don't feel comfortable letting you go to a place like that alone."
Yunze was silent for a while, but finally agreed to let Meng Hongchen come with him to the Death Forest.
Just last night, Meng Hongchen finally broke through her soul power, reaching the bottleneck of level fifty. Originally, Yunze wanted Meng Hongchen to hunt soul beasts accompanied by the elders of Mingde Hall, while he took the opportunity to go to the Death Forest, but unexpectedly, Meng Hongchen brought it up first.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Yunze had no choice but to agree.
However, Yunze and Meng Hongchen weren't the only ones heading to the Death Forest this time. To ensure their safety, Jing Hongchen directly dispatched three Level 8 Soul Masters to accompany them, including Elder Sun, whom Yunze was familiar with, and another Elder Wang.
Both were senior Level 8 Soul Masters from Mingde Hall, and their cultivation levels were veteran Soul Douluo. Although the possibility of them breaking through to Title Douluo was extremely slim, they still possessed the combat power of an ordinary Title Douluo.
The other was Elder Jiang, a trusted subordinate of Jing Hongchen. To Yunze's surprise, Elder Jiang was related to his senior, Jiang Moli, by blood. Elder
Jiang was a cousin of Jiang Moli's grandfather. He was easygoing and had no interest in noble or royal matters; instead, he preferred researching Soul Tools, which was why he stayed in Mingde Hall.
With three Level 8 Soul Masters—Elder Sun, Elder Wang, and Elder Jiang—accompanying him, Jing Hongchen felt much more at ease. Moreover, he knew that Yunze also had a Super Douluo-level girl by his side, whose strength might not be inferior to his own!
With such a lineup, Jing Hongchen had no reason to worry about Yunze and Meng Hongchen's safety!
After Meng Hongchen finished getting ready, the two walked out of the villa together.
Upon arriving at the academy's main gate, they saw three elderly men who had changed out of their research gowns into casual clothes, smiling as they watched the approaching young man and woman.
