253: Soul Forging

Putting away the Soul Forging Treasure Codex, Huang Chen teleported back to his villa in Jinling City.

At this time, the personal Ladder Challenge Tournament had reached the top 2048. Most of Forbidden City's core members had already been eliminated, and even the Harem Legion only had six people left.

They were Tie Shengnan, Chen Yichun, Shu Fei Ma Suo, Feng Wu, Phoenix Chant... and the last one, to Huang Chen’s surprise, was Liu Ruyan.

Tie Shengnan was due to her high skill realm and the mist concealment spear. Chen Yichun had a deceleration sacred artifact. Consort Shu, Feng Wu, and Phoenix Chant had high bone structure.

As for Liu Ruyan, Huang Chen could only attribute it to her being a Child of Destiny. During this time, she had followed Huang Chen to hunt monsters and absorbed a lot of high-level flames.

Of course, all things considered, the biggest reason was that they had Huang Chen’s more than one thousand points of bone structure potential enhancement and epic elite battle pets.

Among the 2048 participants, there were only a dozen or so from High Martial Race Groups, and only Shu Fei Ma Suo from the Mid Martial Race Group.

This showed the powerful individual abilities of the Children of Destiny from the Low Martial Race Group.

If they had developed normally, apart from Liu Ruyan, the others would likely not even make it into the top hundred.

However, now it was different. He had the Soul Forging Treasure Codex, and he could also have the Soul Devouring Bees help temper their souls.

This way, their strength would have a great room for improvement in a short period.

Thinking of the exhilarating pain of being stung by the Soul Devouring Bees, Huang Chen’s mouth curved into a mischievous smile.

He sent a message to Tie Shengnan and Chen Yichun, asking them to gather in his room.

As for Feng Wu and the others, although they were also part of his Harem, Huang Chen temporarily did not want to reveal information about the Soul Forging Treasure Codex. After all, it involved too much, and he couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't leak the news when faced with the greater good of their clan.

Soon, Tie Shengnan arrived first. As soon as she entered the door, she babbled, “Hubby, if you want, can we wait until after the competition? If not, you can let Zhao Ning and Chun Yan take over for a bit. I’m still looking at my opponent’s information.”

“Hehe!”

Huang Chen grinned, slapped Tie Shengnan’s curvy butt hard, and said, “Do you want to go and improve your strength?”

“Improve what strength?” Tie Shengnan asked, puzzled.

“Do you know the effect of soul honey?” Huang Chen said with a smile.

“Mm!” Tie Shengnan nodded. After her soul was saturated, her elemental affinity also greatly improved, which also made her skill realm rapidly increase. She had a premonition that soon, her three attack skills would reach the Grandmaster realm.

However, she immediately shook her head and said, “But I can’t eat any more.”

“I have a way for you to still eat, as long as you’re not afraid of being stung.” Huang Chen looked at Tie Shengnan mischievously, like a big bad wolf.

“I’m afraid of being stung?” Tie Shengnan scoffed playfully, “Since I met you, haven’t I been stung enough?”

Huang Chen’s face darkened at her words. I’m being serious, why are you making suggestive remarks?

Soon, Chen Yichun also arrived.

Huang Chen didn’t waste words, directly taking out the Soul Forging Treasure Codex, his expression becoming extremely solemn. “After you read this, keep it absolutely secret. Do not leak any information, otherwise, we, and even the entire Huaxia Clan, will fall into an abyss of eternal damnation.”

Seeing Huang Chen’s serious demeanor, Tie Shengnan and Chen Yichun immediately put away their smiles.

The codex actually had only a few pages, and the two finished reading it in a few minutes.

Huang Chen put away the codex, took out three more pieces of soul honey from Zi Han, and gave one to each of them, saying, “The process of being stung by the Soul Devouring Bees will be extremely painful later. While enduring that pain, you must also circulate the Soul Forging Treasure Codex to temper your souls to the greatest extent... Additionally, you can practice skills while tempering your souls, which will greatly benefit the improvement of your skill realm.”

Zi Han had just told Huang Chen that the soul is most sensitive to elemental perception when being tempered. Practicing skills at this time is most likely to lead to breakthroughs in realm.

Seeing that the two were ready, Huang Chen waved his hand, and the three of them instantly appeared beside the Soul Devouring Bee Queen’s nest.

As soon as they landed, two extremely miserable wails echoed through the forest.

“Eat soul honey, circulate the codex, practice skills…”

Huang Chen shouted, released Old Six, and directly threw a large piece of soul honey into his mouth, then a vast thunder domain appeared.

One piece of soul honey was definitely not enough for the three to improve, and the soul honey in his backpack was all taken by Zi Han. However, the Bee Swarm was here, so it was a good opportunity to “fight to sustain the fight.”

Tie Shengnan was the first to steady her mind. Enduring the pain of her soul tearing apart, she excitedly took a big bite of soul honey and then circulated the Soul Forging Treasure Codex.

Unlike Tie Shengnan’s excited expression, Chen Yichun had a look of resentment.

She originally didn’t have much obsession with improving her strength. If she could live a life of ease as a young madam, why bother working hard?

It was just that Huang Chen hadn’t given her a chance to refuse, so she could only bite the bullet and go along with it.

Soon, the soul honey in their hands had shrunk considerably.

Huang Chen solemnly calculated the speed of soul honey consumption and was surprised to find that even with him and Old Six working together, they still couldn’t quite keep up with the consumption of the three.

Helpless, he could only look towards the pet space and flatter Zi Han, saying, “We don’t have enough soul honey, can you send some over?”

Zi Han snorted coldly, directly threw out 100 pieces, and then said coldly, “With the Soul Forging Treasure Codex, even ten thousand pieces won’t be enough for you. Don’t deplete this Bee Swarm.”

“Uh~” Hearing Zi Han’s words, Huang Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, “Ten thousand pieces aren’t enough? Is the Soul Forging Treasure Codex that amazing?”

“What do you think? The Hongmeng Universe has never refined souls before. It’s like a dry sponge; its capacity is beyond your imagination.”

Listening to Zi Han’s words, Huang Chen secretly nodded. If that was the case, he would have to find Jin Wanliang and Judy to check which territories had resources for soul supplements.

Otherwise, even ten Bee Swarms wouldn’t be enough.

Soon, after each of the three consumed four pieces of soul honey, Tie Shengnan’s Yang Guan Three Stacks was the first to break through to Grandmaster, and Huang Chen also vaguely felt that his attack skills seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to the pinnacle of perfection.

However, just as the three were engrossed in their improvement, a flash of white light appeared, and the 2048 into 1024 personal Ladder Challenge Tournament began...
