Chapter 2419 - 2423: Beast Soul

Spiritual Objects Pavilion.

This is the place where the Changling Academy stores various spiritual objects.

Demon Beast Magical Cores, Beast Souls, Beast Flames, and all kinds of bizarre and rare Spiritual Treasures, etc.

After Jiang Chen and others followed Wu Zhengfeng out of the Trial Grounds, the others first returned to the new students’ living area. Jiang Chen and the other two reported the items they chose, and Wu Zhengfeng took them to find them one by one.

When Jiang Chen received his identity card, he had already looked through the items available here. Upon learning that he could choose an item, he immediately decided what he wanted.

"Jiang Chen, why do you want the Beast Soul of a Fire Path Demon Beast?"

In front of the Spiritual Objects Pavilion, Wu Zhengfeng looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of confusion.

At this time, Cai Jianlin had already chosen what he wanted. He chose a Cultivation Technique and returned to the living area. Yan Hu hadn’t chosen yet and accompanied Jiang Chen to this side first.

"It has some use."

Jiang Chen perfunctorily replied, as it related to his Combat Skills, he couldn’t explain it to Wu Zhengfeng in detail.

Seeing this, Wu Zhengfeng didn’t ask further and led Jiang Chen and Yan Hu into the Spiritual Objects Pavilion.

In the main hall of the Spiritual Objects Pavilion, there was a counter, and behind it, an old man was reading a Jade Slip. Across the counter, there was a line of forms, introducing the contents of each floor of the Spiritual Objects Pavilion.

"Elder Cen."

Leading Jiang Chen and Yan Hu to the counter, Wu Zhengfeng clenched his fist and saluted the old man behind the counter, and Jiang Chen and Yan Hu followed suit.

"Jiang Chen?"

Elder Cen glanced at the three of them, his gaze fixed on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback and once again saluted, "Student Jiang Chen, greets Elder Cen."

"I’ve seen your performance in the Trial Grounds. You didn’t disgrace that drunken old man. Tell me, what do you want to choose?"

Elder Cen spoke with a light laugh.

"Elder Cen had some ties with Elder Jiu back in the day."

Wu Zhengfeng explained softly.

Jiang Chen understood in his heart and chuckled lightly, "I would like to choose a Beast Soul of a Fire Path Demon Beast."

"Fire Path Beast Soul?"

Elder Cen was slightly surprised, "What grade of Demon Beast’s Beast Soul do you want to choose?"

"I saw there’s a seventh-grade Flamecloud Leopard’s Beast Soul here, I want that one."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and replied softly.

The Fire Python he had refined in his Heaven and Earth Furnace was a sixth-grade Demon Beast, the Soul of the Fire Flame Python. As his first refined Flame Soul, the second refined Flame Soul could not be lower.

"Seventh grade... you really aim high, kid. Even though it’s just a Beast Soul, a seventh-grade Beast Soul isn’t something you can subdue now. It would be more appropriate when you reach the Mid-stage of the Virtual Refinement Realm."

Elder Cen sneered slightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"I’ll give it a try. If I fail, there’s still another chance, isn’t there?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, not explaining further.

"You kid, you’re just like your master, not turning back till you hit the iron wall. However, that drunken old man usually breaks through the wall, let’s see if you can!"

Elder Cen seemed to recall something amusing, chuckled, and waved his hand, "Go ahead, the Beast Soul of the Flamecloud Leopard is on the third floor."

"Thank you."

Jiang Chen cupped his hands in gratitude and turned towards the nearby staircase.

Wu Zhengfeng and Yan Hu stepped up to follow.

"This kid has some of the arrogance of that drunk old man, but who knows if he will succeed. Such casual opportunities are not common."

Elder Cen muttered softly as he watched the backs of Jiang Chen and the other two.

"Junior Jiang Chen, this seventh-grade Beast Soul has the battle power of the Mid-stage Virtual Refinement Realm, are you really confident?"

Walking up the stairs, Wu Zhengfeng inquired softly.

Although Jiang Chen’s Wuying Sword Path was very strong, and he had recently advanced in rank, Wu Zhengfeng still found it a bit risky.

When it comes to the Virtual Refinement Realm, each stage is a chasm. Each stage usually signifies a significant increase in battle power.

"Senior Wu, I’ll give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, so be it."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

Hearing this, Wu Zhengfeng was startled and wanted to persuade further. But seeing Jiang Chen’s determined look, he swallowed his words.

Forget it, since he has two chances to choose, let him try. It’s good to suffer a little setback, better than having too much momentum with strong power.

The three walked up to the third floor, and their vision broadened.

"There really are lots of good things here!"

Jiang Chen glanced around and exclaimed.

"Indeed, any of our Changling Academy’s treasuries would make the top forces on the continent envious."

Wu Zhengfeng spoke with some pride.

Truly one of the Six Great Academies of the continent!

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, feeling a sense of admiration in his heart, and walked straight toward a row of shelves.

On that row of shelves, there were spherical Crystal Balls, each containing a sleeping little beast, all Beast Souls of Demon Beasts.

Stopping in front of a Crystal Ball containing a miniature Flame Leopard, Jiang Chen paused.

"Project your Divine Sense inside, and you can enter and battle it. This Crystal Ball was crafted by the academy’s Holy Elder. Inside, you can act freely without worrying about being exposed. Even though we stand here, we can’t see anything inside."

Wu Zhengfeng explained softly.

Jiang Chen nodded, extending his Divine Sense into the Crystal Ball.

Swish!

A flame aura emanated from the Crystal Ball, enveloping Jiang Chen, and his figure vanished on the spot. The entire Crystal Ball was shrouded in flames, indeed, revealing nothing outside.

"Let’s wait."

Wu Zhengfeng turned and glanced at Yan Hu.

Yan Hu nodded gently and waited patiently.

Inside the Crystal Ball.

Roar!

As Jiang Chen appeared, a roaring sound echoed, and a Flamecloud Leopard, standing over a meter tall and over three meters long, appeared before him.

"This is quite interesting, the application of the Spatial Path, is it?"

Jiang Chen surveyed the space he was in.

At the moment, the space he was in was formed by a strong Fire Path aura, the entire world was scorching flames, but the Fire Path here could not be absorbed for cultivation.

Whoosh!

A breaking sound emerged, and the Flamecloud Leopard suddenly struck, fiercely pouncing at Jiang Chen.

"Already starting?"

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, his figure flickered and he vanished from the spot.

Bang!

A dull sound, the Flamecloud Leopard pounced into emptiness, stirring up waves of flames.

"Wuying Sword Path!"

A low shout emerged, and five-colored Divine Light shot up, instantly condensing into an invisible sword.

Using Spatial Shift, Jiang Chen dodged the Flamecloud Leopard’s pounce, appearing above its head, directly launching his strongest Great Dao Attack.

Swish!

The invisible sword shadow swiftly shot towards the Flamecloud Leopard, the flames parting on both sides as it passed.

Roar!

The Flamecloud Leopard roared fiercely, swatting at the invisible sword shadow violently.

Boom!

A rumbling sound erupted, towering flames shot out, Jiang Chen’s figure flashed and retreated over ten meters, focusing on the Flamecloud Leopard engulfed in flames.
