Chapter 31: Control (Part 2)

It's getting late now, and Chu Chengzhou didn't want to stay up all night. He decided to leave this matter for tomorrow.

Pulling the mosquito net down, he was ready to sleep.

"Little Chu, tell me quickly!"

Xiao Wu, who was very curious, had no intention of letting Chu Chengzhou off easily. She quickly got out of bed and hurried to his side.

"I already told you, it's nothing, just sleep!" Chu Chengzhou waved his hand with a look of disdain.

Staying up late was not a good idea; he didn't want to grow stronger only to end up bald in the future.

"Nothing? Hmph~ I saw it! Your soul ring color faded!"

Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, saying the first part loudly, but the latter part she whispered in a lower voice.

Xiao Wu wasn't stupid; she just didn't like thinking too much. She had clearly seen Chu Chengzhou's actions earlier and realized that he had probably created a new soul skill, one that could change the color of his soul ring.

Such a skill wouldn't be useful for regular soul masters, but for the two of them, it would be extremely useful.

After all, their soul rings, which exceeded the optimal combination, looked unusual.

"What did you just call me?"

"Little Chu... um, big brother!"

Xiao Wu quickly realized her mistake and sweetly called him "big brother."

Seeing this, Chu Chengzhou nodded in satisfaction and said, "Sis~ it's really late today, I'll teach you tomorrow!"

"Hmph~ If you don't teach me tomorrow, you're dead!"

The sweet smile on Xiao Wu's face instantly disappeared, and she raised her fist, threatening him fiercely.

Chu Chengzhou: "..."

Well, she's cute in her own silly way.

...

"Little Chu, Little Chu, we agreed last night that you'd teach me that self-created soul skill."

The next morning, before Chu Chengzhou could start his usual morning meditation, Xiao Wu was already pestering him to teach her the self-created soul skill that could change the color of the soul ring.

"Forgot again? Who are you calling little Chu?"

Chu Chengzhou didn't hold back and lightly tapped Xiao Wu on the head.

"Hmph~ Teacher Chu, hurry up and teach me!"

Xiao Wu pouted, but since she needed something from him, she couldn't afford to act tough.

"Teacher Chu? Fine, I'll be your teacher!"

Chu Chengzhou clicked his tongue. He originally wanted Xiao Wu to call him "big brother," but "teacher" was fine too. As long as it wasn't "Little Chu," he could accept it.

"Listen up, this self-created soul skill of mine is called 'Control,' and it's not just about changing the color of the soul ring.

After mastering it, you can precisely control your soul power and physical strength, and it can also help you suppress your aura.

But this self-created skill is difficult to cultivate. Are you sure you want to learn it?"

Chu Chengzhou said to Xiao Wu.

The difficulty of cultivating the Control skill was no joke.

He could learn it instantly because of the upgrade from the afk panel, but if he had to learn it the normal way, he would have mastered it eventually, but the time it would take was uncertain.

"Suppress my aura?!"

Xiao Wu exclaimed.

What was Xiao Wu most worried about?

It wasn't her second soul ring, which was over nine hundred years old and yellow with a hint of purple. It was the fear of encountering soul masters with soul power above level 80, who could see through her identity as a transformed ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

But if she could suppress her aura, there wouldn't be a place in the continent where Xiao Wu couldn't go!

Looks like Little Chu isn't really that bad after all~! Not to mention, he's pretty good at creating self-made soul skills!

"That's right! The Control skill was created specifically to control my own power.

Soul rings are attached to the martial soul and represent the power of the martial soul, and the strength of the aura is also a reflection of one's power. If you can perfectly control your own power, you can change the color of your soul ring and suppress your aura."

Chu Chengzhou shamelessly took credit for his own external help.

But saying it's self-created didn't seem wrong? After all, if he hadn't created the gray-level Control skill, where would the yellow-level Control skill have come from?

"Impressive!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's big, cute eyes were filled with admiration, and she gave Chu Chengzhou a thumbs up.

"Good that you know it's impressive! Study hard, I believe in you!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's genuine praise, Chu Chengzhou nodded in satisfaction and patted her shoulder as he encouraged her.

Seeing Chu Chengzhou acting like a "big brother," Xiao Wu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

One compliment, and he's floating. He really is Little Chu after all!
