Douluo: AFK to Become a God

Bonus chapter: 100 power stones

"Xiao Chu, look, there's a small village ahead."

Xiao Wu pointed ahead at a village.

Looking in the direction Xiao Wu pointed, Chu Chengzhou saw a small village about a mile away. With the enhanced vision from his cultivation in the spirit arts, he could clearly distinguish that the village was home to around a hundred families. In the vast Balk Kingdom, it was insignificant.

However, he knew that the Shrek Academy, where they were headed, was located within this village.

A spirit master academy in such a small village?

It was a bit embarrassing. The academy's dean, Flander, who was a seven-ringed Spirit Saint, couldn't afford much, so he had to make the academy's conditions as low as possible.

"Let's go. That's probably where we're headed."

Chu Chengzhou called to Xiao Wu.

"Is that Shrek Academy?"

Xiao Wu widened her eyes in disbelief.

"If there's no mistake, it should be."

Chu Chengzhou nodded.

"Brother, why don't we change course and go to Tiandou City instead?"

Xiao Wu weakly suggested, glancing again at the distant village. She couldn't quite associate the small village with a spirit master academy.

It wasn't that she looked down on Shrek Academy, but it was hard for her to imagine a soul master academy with such dilapidated buildings. There wasn't even an academy structure to speak of. It seemed like Shrek Academy was in dire straits.

Attending this school? Wouldn't that be wasting her time?

And with such a run-down academy, could they even afford a simulated training ground?

A simulated training ground suited to one's spirit was very important. If the compatibility was high, it could increase soul power cultivation speed by one or two times.

"No, the Tiandou Royal Academy is a noble academy. Even if we have good talent, they may not welcome us."

Chu Chengzhou shook his head.

Class discrimination existed everywhere. Even though they were talented, the three soul emperors at the Tiandou Royal Academy might accept them, but the other students would likely resent them. They would think that commoners were trying to take their resources.

Even if they wanted to join a formal high-level spirit master academy, Chu Chengzhou thought the Blue Tyrant Academy founded by Liu Erlong was better than the Tiandou Royal Academy.

He didn't need an academy with a strong foundation. As long as they could help him hunt spirit beasts when his soul power was progressing, that would be enough.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Wu blinked, still feeling that Chu Chengzhou had some special reason for coming to Shrek Academy.

Suddenly, Chu Chengzhou's sharp eyes noticed two figures walking out of the village ahead.

One had long golden hair and a tall figure, while the other was none other than Ma Hongjun, the one he had beaten earlier.

'Dai Mubai? Is Ma Hongjun bringing backup?'

Chu Chengzhou thought with a strange expression.

However... just Dai Mubai alone wouldn't be enough!

The White Tiger martial soul of the Dai family, though strong, wasn't on the level of a divine spirit like the Six-Winged Angel. Without the fusion technique "Ghostly White Tiger," Dai Mubai wasn't capable of fighting above his rank.

Even though his soul power was lower and he lacked a third soul ring, Chu Chengzhou was confident that Dai Mubai wouldn't be able to beat him.

At the very least, with his archery skills and agility, he could keep Dai Mubai at bay.

Soon, Xiao Wu also noticed the two approaching figures.

"Xiao Chu, isn't that the little fatty who's coming to get revenge?"

Xiao Wu pointed at the two figures ahead.

"It's nothing. Just a small fry. Your brother can easily deal with him."

Chu Chengzhou said indifferently.

...

"Little fatty, you got beaten up once and now you want a second round?"

Xiao Wu smiled teasingly.

"Hmph, Dai Mubai, it's him!"

Ma Hongjun, ignoring Xiao Wu's taunt, snorted coldly and pointed at Chu Chengzhou. He turned to Dai Mubai and said, "Big Brother Dai, that's the guy!"

"Don't worry, fatty, you're my brother. I'll help you get revenge!"

Dai Mubai looked at Chu Chengzhou for a moment, then shamelessly glanced at Xiao Wu. He patted Ma Hongjun's shoulder and said with righteous indignation.

At this moment, Dai Mubai seemed like a good older brother, willing to stand by his "brother" no matter what.

Of course, this wasn't out of loyalty to Ma Hongjun. The moment he saw Xiao Wu, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

The "Playboy Prince," the "Thousand-man Slayer," and the "Time Management Master" were all titles for him. Seeing such a beautiful girl, how could Dai Mubai not be tempted?

Helping his "plastic brother" get revenge? That was just a side task. Trying to win over the girl was his real goal!

"Little fatty, I suggest you bring more people. This golden-haired freak alone won't be enough."

Chu Chengzhou sneered at Ma Hongjun.

"Big Brother Dai, he called you a golden-haired freak! Beat him up!"

As soon as Ma Hongjun heard Chu Chengzhou's taunt, he became excited.

This little pretty boy was insulting Dai Mubai! Could Dai Mubai tolerate this? If they fought, Chu Chengzhou's punishment would be even worse than before!

"Kid, you're a spirit master too. Show me your martial soul!"

Dai Mubai couldn't stand being insulted, but in front of Xiao Wu, he refrained from attacking directly.

If he wanted to successfully win her over, he had to crush her current "boyfriend" in every possible way.

"I hope you don't end up begging for mercy and calling me 'Dad' after I'm done with you."

With a taunt, Chu Chengzhou's soul power surged. A flag with the image of a tree and a lion appeared in his hand, and two hundred-year-old soul rings appeared.

With a wave of the flag, his second soul ring glowed, and a three-meter-long lion with golden mane and a white body materialized beside him.

"Wow, a spirit beast?"

Ma Hongjun cursed as he saw the lion materialize.

Not only was this little pretty boy strong in hand-to-hand combat, but he could also summon a spirit beast?

"Light Lion?"

Unlike Ma Hongjun's reaction, Dai Mubai's expression grew serious as he looked at the lion spirit.

As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai had extensive knowledge about spirit beasts and immediately recognized the lion. Judging by its aura, it was on par with him in strength.
