Chapter 298: Tempering the Divine Soul

"Rest assured, my Master. The flow of time here is different from the outside world; three hours passed here is at most one hour in the outside world."

The Dragon smiled and explained.

After saying this, he also felt very gratified in his heart. After all, compared to before, his current Master had much more human warmth; he was alive, and more like a person.

Before, he was too perfect, doing many things flawlessly, almost devoid of emotion, and very distant. He didn't feel like a person, but rather like a perfect definition.

Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but pat his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"There is no time to lose, let's hurry and continue. The sooner we continue, the sooner we finish."

Su Chen said with a smile.

Having just finished body tempering, he felt his whole body was full of energy.

After hearing this, the Dragon hesitated for a moment before saying: "The problem is only the first step. The subsequent tempering of the divine soul is the main event. It requires much more time than before, and it is a thousand times more painful. Is Master sure he doesn't want to rest a while longer?"

"Whether I experience it sooner or later, I have to experience it, so what is there to fear?"

Su Chen smiled indifferently. Even if it hurt, he would just endure it and it would pass. Being hesitant here now, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. By the time it happened, his fear would be magnified infinitely, and even if it didn't hurt that much, he would feel it was extremely painful.

The Dragon felt that what Su Chen said made sense, and he also greatly admired Su Chen's decisive, no-nonsense character, so he nodded.

Following a dragon roar, the entire room instantly echoed with the long, lingering sound of the roar. The reverberations were constant; just listening to it made one feel submissive, unable to even conceive a thought of resistance. Even the space was affected, producing slight ripples.

Su Chen closed his eyes, carefully sensing the Spiritual Power fluctuations around him. The Dragon also began his actions at this time. Many golden Dragons coiled around Su Chen, and immediately after, a pale blue phantom appeared abruptly.

That pale blue divine soul looked exactly like Su Chen. It seemed a bit ignorant the first time it came out, and it even looked around. After seeing its own physical body, it suddenly felt as if its soul had left its body.

It was also at this moment that the golden Dragons suddenly appeared around him, constantly passing through his body. When the divine soul was passed through, it sparked ripples, like water waves.

Countless golden Dragons came and went many times. Immediately after, Su Chen felt a heart-piercing and bone-chilling pain. This kind of pain was as if the divine soul was being forcibly torn apart and then pieced back together, over and over again. Every second was so long.

Compared to before, this pain was thousands of times more severe. The divine soul was very fragile and connected to one's own mental power, so the perception was exceptionally keen. This act was no different from pulling and kneading one's nerves.

Even the most enduring person would be unable to help but cry out in pain at this moment. Su Chen bit his teeth tightly. In the soul state, there was no sweat, but the entire divine soul was shaking violently, as if reflecting its owner's mood, very uneasy.

In order to reshape Su Chen's divine soul, the Dragon also expended a lot of energy. Now the color of the entire Dragon had dimmed significantly. Not only that, all his energy was focused on Su Chen.

The current Su Chen was only in the Great Saint Realm, and facing this was still too fast and too early. It was a forced improvement, and this act of pulling up seedlings to help them grow would undoubtedly make Su Chen suffer greater pain, but if successful, the gains would be endless.

The Dragon stared fixedly at Su Chen. To prevent any accidents, if Su Chen could not bear it and his spirit collapsed, he would stop immediately.

Fortunately, a full half-day passed, and Su Chen still gritted his teeth and held on, finally solving it successfully.

Seeing this, the Dragon let out a heavy breath of turbid air.

Before doing all this, he had been feeling uneasy in his heart, not knowing if what he was doing was right.

But fate had already allowed him and Su Chen to meet. Perhaps everything had long been destined in the dark, so after finishing all this, the Dragon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also sighed in his heart: worthy of being his Master, even if reincarnated, this temperament and endurance were incomparable to ordinary people.

At the same time, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

A golden light instantly streaked across his eyes, and immediately after, a feeling like being stared at by an abyss instantly spread over the Dragon's entire body, making him feel chilled to the bone, almost not daring to move.

That chill was as if a person had been thrown into an ice pool in the dead of winter, with countless fish in the pool scrambling to bite him, and a wolf on the shore watching covetously.

This was actually the sense of threat brought to him by the Great Saint Realm.

"Great, it's finally over."

Su Chen let out a breath forcefully, his eyes glowing with spirit. God knows how he survived just now.

At first, he was indeed tortured to the point of thinking it would be better to just die, but later he got used to it and became more and more at ease. Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, a day had passed.

It wasn't until Su Chen started speaking that the sense of oppression vanished into thin air.

"Why aren't you speaking? Is it because you consumed too much helping me just now?"

Su Chen asked in confusion after not receiving a reply from the Dragon for a long time.

Hearing Su Chen's voice, the Dragon finally woke up as if from a dream.

"I am happy for my Master. Now, even a person at the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm might not be able to easily harm my Master in front of my Master."

The Dragon paused before continuing.

Su Chen was not surprised to hear this, after all, he had many experts at the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm by his side.

He could clearly feel that although his cultivation had not changed at all, it had obviously improved by more than one level.

It was as if, although they were at the same level, they could only contain one thousand units of Spiritual Power, while he could contain ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand.

This gap was very obvious.

Su Chen rubbed his hands, excited about his progress, and couldn't wait to find someone to practice with.

The Dragon naturally saw Su Chen's eagerness, laughed twice, and then continued: "Everything I can do has been done by my Master. Right now, I can only manifest a few clones for my Master to train with. The flow of time here is different from the outside world, so my Master can have more time to master his new changes."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded excitedly. He was just worrying about having no one to practice with; it could be said that someone handed him a pillow just as he was feeling sleepy. Getting three times the results of others in the same amount of time, why not do it?

Having obtained Su Chen's consent, the Dragon immediately summoned several clones. Considering Su Chen's current realm, he did not intend to let Su Chen throw an egg against a rock, but instead summoned three clones at the Quasi-Emperor Initial Stage, Quasi-Emperor Middle Realm, and Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm for him to train with.

As soon as these three clones appeared, they were full of pressure, and Su Chen instantly regretted it.
