Chapter 101 Daily Life in Shrek

On this day, Chen Xuan used his shadow clone and transferred more than 90% of his soul power to the clone, which weakened him for a time and almost exhausted his soul power.

His shadow clone put on a coat to cover his face and headed out of Tiandou City.

The clone Chen Xuan headed in another direction, not the city gate. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, it was difficult for people at the border to detect his presence.

Chen Xuan’s spiritual power was almost exhausted. He was fainted and staggered towards the academy.

“With so much soul power being allocated to me, it should be able to last for two days.” For the next three days, he planned to stay in Shrek Academy, not for anything else but to make his presence felt.

If it is a shadow clone, it can only take away half of the soul power, and under normal circumstances it can only last for a few hours, at most half a day. However, the water clone and the wood clone are different. The maintenance time depends on the soul power, and the upper limit is higher.

Chen Xuan did not have a famous teacher to teach him, so it took him a long time to master the trick of this water clone.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Zhuqing had not left yet and was taking a walk in the academy. She happened to run into Chen Xuan who was returning, staggering as if he had collapsed.

He was out for a short time, less than ten minutes, and when he came back he looked so weak.

Zhu Zhuqing came over, looked at him worriedly, and helped him sit down on a nearby bench.

"It's nothing, don't say anything." Chen Xuan waved his hands, it was really difficult to explain.

"Don't you believe me?" Zhu Zhuqing said sadly, with loss in her eyes.

Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted and found something unusual. Why was the cold goddess acting weird today?

He explained, "It's not what you think. I just consumed too much soul power."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask any more questions, but she didn't say anything either. For a moment, both of them were silent and fell into a brief awkward moment.

"Have you absorbed that soul bone?" Chen Xuan changed the subject.

Zhu Zhuqing regained her cool demeanor and said calmly, "I absorbed it two days ago, and my soul power increased by six levels. Now my soul power has reached level 47."

"That's good. Congratulations. You will be able to fight against those two people next time you meet them." Chen Xuan smiled and was happy for her.

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked him straight in the eye and asked, "Why do you know me so well?"

She suddenly remembered that when she first met Chen Xuan, the master arranged for him to sit next to her.

She vaguely remembered the scene at that time. The man kept staring at her, sighed deeply, and looked at her with eyes full of sympathy, which was very strange.

When they met for the first time, a man stared at her. Zhu Zhuqing felt disgusted at that time and thought he was weird. Like other men, his gaze was invasive.

Looking back now, Chen Xuan at that time might have already known her and knew her identity and background.

"Answer me honestly, were you sent by the Xing Luo Empire?" Zhu Zhuqing frowned and stared into his eyes, trying to find some clues.

She didn't want it to be like she imagined. The scenes between the two of them should be pure and she didn't want any calculations to be involved.

"Ah." Chen Xuan was confused. He was born in a small county town. How could he look like a person from the Xing Luo Empire?

He waved his hands helplessly and said, "You think too much. I was indeed born in the Tiandou Empire, and I have never been to Xingluo."

"Don't lie to me!" Zhu Zhuqing's face improved a little, but she still stared at his eyes. These could be faked. "Really? I won't lie to you no matter who I lie to." Chen Xuan said, thinking that this iceberg was too abnormal today, and asked some random questions.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly turned her head away. A blush appeared on her ears. Then she didn't ask anything and remained silent.

The atmosphere became quiet again, and it seemed a little awkward.

Chen Xuan felt puzzled. After not seeing him for more than ten days, his cold and aloof personality had changed.

He broke the silence and asked about something important, "By the way, after you absorbed the soul bone, did the dean and Dai Mubai ask you anything?"

"I asked." Zhu Zhuqing nodded. She has always been very smart, so that kind of thing would not be difficult for her and she could find a good explanation.

Flanders asked the masters about the origin of the soul bones very seriously. After all, it was not a trivial matter. She had already thought of an excuse and told everyone that during the days she and Chen Xuan were in the Star Dou Great Forest, they followed a team led by a Soul Saint.

Unfortunately, they encountered a beast tide at that time and the team was confronted. Many people died and few survived. The Soul Saint leader fought with the ten thousand year old beast king and eventually died together.

Zhu Zhuqing narrated that the experience was very dangerous and she was almost deadly. If it weren't for Chen Xuan's spatial ability, she might have stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest forever.

After the beast tide ended, they went back to look for survivors, but most of them were dead, including the Soul Saint, who perished together with the ten thousand year old soul beast.

Zhu Zhuqing said that the ten thousand year soul bone she absorbed was picked up from that soul beast.

Everyone at Shrek felt that those who survived a great disaster would be blessed in the future. Although they found it outrageous, they all believed it. As a member of the Seven Devils, there was no need for Zhu Zhuqing to lie to them.

After knowing this, some people looked at Chen Xuan differently. They all said that soul bones were rare and worth hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. Few people could resist being tempted, but Chen Xuan did and generously gave them to Zhu Zhuqing.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were very surprised when they found out about this. It was hard to believe that there would be someone who wouldn't be jealous. His vision was so huge that their impression of him changed a lot and they admired him.

"That's good. Soul bones are too precious and easily lead to scrambles. It will not be good for you and me if they are exposed." Chen Xuan said, very satisfied with the result.

"It's fine if it's me, but if someone makes you remember me and gets hurt because of me, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life." Chen Xuan said this with a serious look, speaking from the bottom of his heart.

"Is it just a feeling of guilt?" Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, a trace of pain flashed between her eyebrows. For some reason, she felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Chen Xuanzheng stopped and was lost in thought for a while. What happened? Dazhu Qing seemed a little strange today. His personality was very different from before.

"Of course."

He thought for a moment, stared into Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes, and said, "I don't want you to get into trouble or get hurt because of me. I hope you can live a safe, happy, and brilliant life."

"You don't understand. A person's life is determined by their birth, and there are many things that cannot be resisted. How can you be happy if you marry someone you don't like or live in a place you don't like?" Zhu Zhuqing looked up at the sky. The blue sky and the red sun were peaceful and warm, but she couldn't feel it. Her heart was heavy.

Chen Xuan was a little surprised. How come he suddenly became so serious?
Especially this sentence contains a lot of information. Dai Mubai is not the person she likes. Does it mean that she has a new love?

"Birth does determine a lot, and even hard work may not necessarily change it, but I think we should still resist, do our best and leave the rest to fate. At least I have tried."

Chen Xuan acted like a serious person and said, "Like me, before I joined the Shrek team, I only wanted to be a teacher after graduation. After becoming a substitute player, my goal was just to join a certain sect. Now it's different. Someone is forcing me to become stronger and grow quickly."

One is Yu Xiaogang, another is Tang San, and the last one is the woman who poisoned him.

In fact, his progress in the past two months can be described as rapid. At that time, he was still a 38th-level Little Soul Master. In just over two months, not to mention how many special skills he had mastered, his soul power had already broken through to the 48th level.
