Chapter 38: A Mouthful of Fur from One Bite

"Holy grass!"

After seeing that Soul Transfer had become a God-tier quality attribute, even Zhou Chu couldn't help but let out a colorful exclamation.

From previously only being able to project his vision onto a randomly contracted servant, it had evolved into completely attaching himself to a selectable contracted servant.

He could even fully control said contracted servant, and could also obtain all of that servant's abilities, attribute stacking, and so on.

The God-tier Soul Transfer effect could be said to have undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change.

This was equivalent to Zhou Chu being able to turn into any one of his God-tier servants at any time.

Moreover, he could use that servant's skills, and in terms of attributes, he also became even more powerful.

It was foreseeable that Zhou Chu would have even more powerful God-tier servants in the future, perhaps even ones with different professional roles.

In the Soul Transfer state, Zhou Chu not only possessed the characteristics of dual professions, but could even better disguise himself, and would not die so easily on the battlefield.

Once he possessed a God-tier servant, just ask how anyone else is supposed to play!

A satisfied smile appeared on Zhou Chu's face.

All the effort and investment had certainly not been in vain.

This "Soul Transfer" skill had become terrifyingly powerful in its God-tier state.

An expert?

Actually, that expert was himself!

Zhou Chu was extremely excited and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After chugging two large bottles of drinks, Zhou Chu's excited heart finally managed to calm down.

He walked out of the luxurious private room and came to the cashier.

The young lady in charge of the register saw Zhou Chu come out and finished the final service for him with a full smile.

Turning around and leaving the Training Center, Zhou Chu once again activated the Ghost Form on the Calamity Ring and quietly returned to He Muxue's home.

Passing through the wall into the guest room and lying on the bed, the excitement in his heart had not yet completely faded.

The more he thought, the more excited he became; the more he thought, the less he could sleep.

It wasn't until dawn was almost breaking that Zhou Chu finally fell into a deep sleep in the embrace of his excitement.

Early in the morning, a somewhat sleep-deprived Zhou Chu ate a hasty breakfast.

The old man known by people as "Tu Shu" drove the He family of three and Zhou Chu toward the Soul Profession Office in Tianhua City.

After a car ride of more than half an hour, the car finally arrived at the Soul Profession Office in the south of Tianhua City.

The Soul Profession Office is a state-run institution.

It shoulders the task of serving all Soul Professionals.

The most important task of the Soul Profession Office is to promote and change the Soul Professions of Soul Professionals.

And right next to the Soul Profession Office is the Soul Professional Guild.

The Soul Professional Guild is a group formed spontaneously by Soul Professionals.

Here, Soul Professionals can exchange experiences, share intelligence, and form teams for adventures.

They can also accept various commissions and bounty tasks to earn rewards, and there are also paid services such as hiring and power-leveling.

And at the southernmost end of the Soul Professional Guild square stands a tower over 100 meters tall.

This towering high tower is the Secret Realm Tower.

It is said that the Secret Realm Tower has a total of 30 floors, with every ten floors divided into a difficulty level: Normal, Hell, and Nightmare, respectively.

Just like the Novice Dungeon, the initial challengers must pass the 10 floors of Normal difficulty before they can head to the higher floors of higher difficulty.

As the floors and difficulty of the Secret Realm Tower increase, the experience gained will also continuously increase.

Therefore, before the First Turn, the way to quickly gain experience is to grind the Secret Realm Tower.

This is what people call "tower climbing."

First, before participating in tower climbing, one must register at the Soul Profession Office.

The sign above the main entrance of the Soul Profession Office glittered under the sunlight.

At the entrance, two staff members in uniforms were maintaining order and checking the qualifications of those entering.

People other than Soul Professionals are not allowed to enter here.

Zhou Chu followed the He family into the Soul Profession Office; it was spacious and bright inside.

In the middle of the lobby was a huge display screen, which was scrolling through policies and information related to Soul Professionals.

Many service windows were distributed around, and there were people queuing in front of each window.

"Uncle Tu, you take Xiaoxue and Zhou Chu to register first; I need to hurry and prepare for the event." Liu Lanzhi gave instructions and then hurried away.

Tu Shu nodded and led Zhou Chu and He Muxue toward the registration desk.

After registration was complete, the staff gave Zhou Chu and He Muxue each an Identity Identification Card and said, "This is your proof of identity for entering the Experience Secret Realm Tower; please keep it safe."

"The event will start in half an hour. Candidates, please follow me; accompanying personnel may proceed to the viewing area on the square to wait."

Subsequently, Zhou Chu and He Muxue were led by the staff to the preparation area under the Secret Realm Tower.

At this time, quite a few students preparing to participate in the tower climbing had already gathered in the preparation area.

Some were nervously making preparations for the climb, while others were discussing with their teammates how many floors they would last.

"Do you want to team up?"

At this moment, He Muxue, who was to the side, suddenly asked.

Zhou Chu smiled and shook his head: "Better not. The points obtained from teaming up have to be split. It's better to solo!"

He Muxue nodded with a calm expression and said nothing more.

Just then, Chen Bo, with the two brothers Xiong Tian and Xiong Hai, squeezed through the crowd with an arrogant air and walked toward this side.

When he saw Zhou Chu, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly replaced it with a rascally smile.

"Yo, isn't this Zhou Chu? Didn't you go to the front lines? How come you're back so soon?"

"Don't tell me you got scared, deserted halfway, and snuck back?"

Zhou Chu couldn't be bothered to look at the other person; he waved his hand in front of his nose and couldn't help but frown, saying, "Who farted? Why does it stink so much?"

Having been ignored by Zhou Chu, Chen Bo's expression changed instantly, his blood pressure soaring to 10 kPa in a flash.

But he knew well that this was not the place to settle things, so he could only suppress his anger, his cheeks twitching a few times as he continued to provoke, "What? Did I say something wrong? With that F-Grade Soul Profession of yours, what could you possibly do on the front lines? Don't tell me you went to the front lines to clean up?"

At this moment, He Muxue suddenly said coldly, "Chen Bo, you had better watch your mouth. Zhou Chu's business is not for you to worry about here."

Chen Bo turned his gaze toward He Muxue, a malicious smile appearing on his face: "Great School Beauty He, you're protecting him so much—could it be that you've really set your heart on this F-Grade piece of trash?"

"Don't forget, you are the eldest daughter of the He Family; if you're going to find someone, you should find someone worthy of you."

He Muxue's expression darkened, a flash of anger appearing in her eyes: "My business is none of your concern; you had better worry about yourself."

At this time, Zhou Chu gently pulled He Muxue, shook his head at her, and said indifferently, "Don't lower yourself to the level of a dog that bites indiscriminately. If it bites you once, you can't exactly bite it back, can you?"

"Biting it would just get a mouthful of fur; how disgusting would that be, right?"

"You!"

Chen Bo was furious; he widened his eyes, wishing he could hack Zhou Chu into eight pieces on the spot.

Zhou Chu, who used to be pinned to the ground and rubbed by him without daring to resist, was actually calling him a dog in public today.

How could he endure this!

"Fine, Zhou Chu, you just wait for me!"

Chen Bo glared viciously at Zhou Chu and, taking his two lackeys, walked straight toward the bottom of the Secret Realm Tower.

Meanwhile, not far away on the other side, the Second High School heartthrob Qin Ye stood far off, his eyes fixed intently on this spot.

Seeing Zhou Chu and He Muxue standing "intimately" together, his hands couldn't help but clench tightly.

He hadn't been able to clear the Hero-level Dungeon, having fled in a sorry state after lasting less than ten minutes.

What an F-Grade could do, he, an S-Grade, was actually unable to do.

This made Qin Ye wonder for a moment if the S-Grade he had bound was a fake.

With his self-confidence severely battered, what Qin Ye could tolerate even less was the girl he liked being with another man.

Especially the Zhou Chu before his eyes.

"Zhou Chu, you actually dare to snatch my Muxue! I must make you disappear!"

Qin Ye clenched his fists, a look of resentment appearing in his eyes.

Just then, on the high platform not far away, a woman's voice rang out from the loudspeaker.
