Dragon's Origin

Chapter 11: A Good Discussion

Twenty Essence Nourishing Pills, based on Wang Sheng's previous experience with the medicine, were enough to replenish Wang Sheng's damaged soul.

For Wang Sheng, the most urgent task was not to settle down here. This place was never his goal; at most, it could only be considered a stop along the way. What was truly important was to quickly understand everything about the soul and everything about this world, and then improve his strength as soon as possible.

For the time being, Wang Sheng only knew of one way to improve his strength, which was to first mend his damaged soul. As his damaged soul was replenished, Wang Sheng's physical condition would greatly improve, as had already been verified in the previous medication process.

Without a word, Wang Sheng returned to the small courtyard that temporarily belonged to him. After putting away his backpack and gun case, the first thing he did was take the medicine.

Again, two days were spent. Wang Sheng had to seize every moment to improve himself in order to seek a chance of survival in the upcoming crisis.

Wang Sheng didn't think that the seven assassins from Worry-Free City wouldn't cause any trouble. It was just a matter of time. Wang Sheng was already prepared to face revenge.

In four days, Wang Sheng swallowed twelve Essence Nourishing Pills. As Wang Sheng expected, his body's strength and endurance were further improved, but his speed had reached a limit and didn't change much.

Still the simple push-ups and sit-ups, Wang Sheng could do more than a thousand push-ups with one hand in a set. Holding a backpack and gun case weighing about twenty kilograms, he could also do more than a thousand sit-ups in a set. This was unimaginable back on Earth, but now it was incredibly easy.

The soul fish had been repaired by 90%, and it was only a little bit away from being completely repaired. The remaining eight Essence Nourishing Pills were enough for Wang Sheng to do this.

Perhaps it was Wang Sheng's return alive while some others didn't that shocked many people. At least during the few days that Wang Sheng was taking medicine, no one came to harass Wang Sheng, allowing Wang Sheng to take the medicine and repair his soul without interference.

Wang Sheng didn't know what level his current strength was at in this world, but one thing was certain: since he was only at the stage where his soul had just manifested, it wouldn't be too high. He was probably just starting out and still had a distance to go before reaching the first realm.

It wasn't that Wang Sheng was being humble, but a master of the first realm had at least upgraded their soul once, and their strength was definitely not just a little bit of improvement in terms of pure strength, endurance, and speed.

Next, Wang Sheng continued to take the remaining eight Essence Nourishing Pills. When he took the fourth pill, Wang Sheng's soul fish was completely repaired.

Strictly speaking, it should have been completely repaired by the time he took the third and a half pill, but Wang Sheng found that the remaining medicinal power of the Essence Nourishing Pill was still being absorbed by the soul to outline the environment in which the soul fish lived.

This should be the soul space that Song Yan mentioned. Wang Sheng originally thought that the combat consciousness little person would give him guidance, but the gray shadow little person didn't move at all at this stage. Other than doing the same movements and optimizing a few movements when Wang Sheng insisted on muscle training, it didn't help with the construction of the soul space at all.

Considering that carp have to leap over the dragon gate when upgrading, Wang Sheng didn't let his soul space become a lake, but a long river. Of course, Wang Sheng's reference in his mind was directly the Nine Bend Yellow River. When the conditions were right, Wang Sheng would build a dragon gate in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which would be in line with the environment of the carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Now that the soul had been completely repaired, the remaining things actually became much simpler. The medicinal power of the Essence Nourishing Pill contained vast spiritual power, which could be absorbed to construct the soul space.

When the last Essence Nourishing Pill was finished, the shape of the Yellow River was basically completely outlined. This speed was a hundred times faster than relying on the soul to spontaneously absorb spiritual power to construct it.

However, Wang Sheng also knew that this was due to the medicinal power of the Essence Nourishing Pill. Building the foundation solely on drugs was not something to be praised. But what should he do next? Wang Sheng had no clue.

Song Yan was also not around, and he didn't know where she had gone. He didn't have anyone to ask for advice. Soon, a suitable target appeared in Wang Sheng's mind. Perhaps that person could help Wang Sheng learn a lot of enlightenment knowledge.

That enlightenment teacher, the one who pointed at Wang Sheng's nose in front of many people and told him to get out, that was a suitable candidate. There was no teacher more suitable to teach Wang Sheng enlightenment than him.

"Get out!" When Wang Sheng found that teacher and once again asked to learn about soul enlightenment, the teacher's attitude was exactly the same as before. He pointed directly at the door and shouted.

"What kind of price does the teacher need? We can talk," Wang Sheng said in a good temper. Of course, he couldn't be too arrogant when asking for help, so he calmly asked the teacher to name his price. As long as there was a price, everything could be discussed, right?

"I don't teach third-rate trash!" The teacher didn't care about Wang Sheng's attitude at all and directly stated his position: "Third-rate trash is not worth teaching by anyone. Get out!"

Of course, Wang Sheng wouldn't get out. The last time he came, he was new and needed to understand everything, so he didn't think about using any means. This time, he had learned a lot, and if the teacher still wanted to refuse him with this attitude, he could forget it.

"Since the teacher doesn't like this, then I'll change the question." Wang Sheng was still smiling, but he had a few more things in his hand. He asked with a smile, "I wonder what kind of price it would take to kill you, teacher?"

What appeared in Wang Sheng's hand were of course the seven assassin tokens from Worry-Free City. Wang Sheng treated them like a stack of metal tokens, constantly playing with them, making a neat sound of metal colliding. The sound wasn't loud, but it was enough to attract the attention of the teacher opposite him.

Originally, the teacher wanted to get angry and call for someone after hearing Wang Sheng's question, but he was suddenly attracted by the sound from Wang Sheng's hand. When he saw those assassin tokens, the teacher's expression immediately changed.

Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. Even if he hadn't seen assassins, he had heard of the assassin tokens of Worry-Free City. Wang Sheng actually took out so many, and the teacher's heart sank. His eyes stared at Wang Sheng's hand as if he wanted to see through those assassin tokens.

"Some trinkets I picked up on the road. Is the teacher interested?" Wang Sheng was still smiling, and then he placed those assassin tokens on the table one by one, like he was in Baoqing Yutang, so that the teacher could see clearly. He continued to ask, "Or the same question, what kind of price would it take to kill you, teacher?"

This time, the teacher saw clearly that the words "Worry-Free" on the seven assassin tokens clearly indicated that these were the assassin tokens of Worry-Free City. In this world, no one dared to imitate the assassin tokens of Worry-Free City at will, so these were definitely not fake.

Especially the first silver assassin token, which was an assassin token that only a level three assassin or higher would have. The assassin tokens of Worry-Free City have always been that the token is with the person. Now that the assassin token was in Wang Sheng's hand, what did it mean? It was obvious. Picked up on the road? No one would believe that.

Regardless of whether the assassin token was Wang Sheng's own or stolen from someone else, it could only explain one thing: Wang Sheng wanted him to die, which was definitely a very simple matter. If the assassin token was Wang Sheng's, then Wang Sheng could kill him at will. If the assassin token was someone else's, then he could easily hire an assassin with this level three assassin token to kill him. What's more, Wang Sheng killed a level three assassin to get the assassin token?

Between his own life and the insistence on never teaching a third-rate waste, the teacher made an extremely decisive and straightforward choice for the former. If he was really a staunch person who could sacrifice his life for righteousness, how could he be a teacher in this small city at such an old age? Therefore, the teacher's tone changed faster than any chameleon Wang Sheng had ever seen on Earth.

"What does the young master want to know? I will definitely tell you everything I know!" Not only did his tone change quickly, but the teacher's expression also changed faster, from an angry look to a smiling face in just a few tenths of a second, comparable to a Sichuan opera face-changing master.

"You see, it's good to have a good discussion, isn't it? Why do you have to hurt people with words when you come up?" Wang Sheng had a smile on his face from beginning to end, but at this moment, Wang Sheng's smile looked more terrifying in the teacher's eyes than the most terrifying demon face he could imagine.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right, young master." Where did the teacher dare to sit? He stood opposite Wang Sheng with his waist almost bent ninety degrees. At this time, whatever Wang Sheng said was what he said. Did the teacher dare to say anything else?

Next, the teacher began to fulfill his promise just now, telling everything he knew. Regarding the enlightenment of the soul, the teacher began to talk endlessly.

Thanks to this teacher's many years of teaching in elementary school, he was originally teaching children, so he was very experienced. His words were easy to understand, and he explained the enlightenment of the soul in the most straightforward and simple language, which was much more professional than Song Yan's piecemeal explanations.

Wang Sheng finally systematically learned some of the most basic professional knowledge about the soul. He quickly understood that he had only just outlined the soul fish and the soul space, which was only the most basic state, and was still far from being able to upgrade his soul.

After outlining the lines, as more and more spiritual energy was absorbed, the lines would become fuller, and the soul fish and the soul space would have various colors and become lifelike. Only after this step was completed could the true construction of the soul space be considered complete. The next step was the condition for the soul to be upgraded.

Similarly, only after making a lifelike dragon gate would the conditions for the soul to be upgraded be met. The next step was to absorb more spiritual energy to strengthen the soul and develop the soul acupoints. When the acupoints were developed one by one, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy would be faster, and after absorbing more spiritual energy, the soul would naturally reach the upgrade conditions and then upgrade.

After the upgrade, more acupoints would be stimulated, and personal strength would be further improved. Of course, this improvement was not only an improvement in physical fitness, but more importantly, the ability to use spiritual energy for attack, defense, and so on, which was much stronger than simply relying on physical fitness.
