Douluo Starting with the Chaos Divine Examination

"Tianshui Academy?"

Mu Chen raised an eyebrow. If he remembered correctly, all of Tianshui Academy's contestants were female, deserving gentle treatment. His gaze fell on Jiangzhu, "Jiangzhu, come here."

Jiangzhu stepped up to Mu Chen, asking, "Do you also have a birthday gift for me?"

Birthday gift?

Mu Chen was taken aback. Was it Jiangzhu's birthday today?

It couldn't be. Last time, he accidentally gave a head spirit bone to Ning Rongrong, coincidentally on her birthday. Could this be another lucky coincidence?

Since Jiangzhu had pointed it out, Mu Chen replied, "I did say I'd give a gift for everyone's birthday. Here, this is for you."

Mu Chen touched his storage soul guide and flicked his finger, retrieving a blue object from it.

"A spirit bone?"

"A spirit bone?"

"A spirit bone?"

Everyone was stunned. The item Mu Chen retrieved was indeed a head spirit bone.

"This is a gem-type spirit bone, suitable for auxiliary and healing soul masters. Among us, Rongrong already has a head spirit bone. This one, acquired not long ago, suits you best. It comes from a mermaid soul beast and has a skill for area healing," Mu Chen explained.

"Are you... really giving it to me as a birthday gift?" Jiangzhu's eyes sparkled, feeling both honored and surprised as she looked at Mu Chen.

A few days ago, when Mu Chen gave Ning Rongrong a head spirit bone, he mentioned that there was only one spirit bone, suitable for two people. He promised Jiangzhu that if he found another gem-type spirit bone, it would be hers.

Back then, Jiangzhu thought Mu Chen's words were just a way of speaking. She never imagined Mu Chen would actually give her a spirit bone.

A spirit bone!

A spirit bone is a soul master's dream treasure. And here Mu Chen was, giving it away so casually.

"Take it. Now that you're part of Shrek's monsters and a member of the Tang Sect, a spirit bone is precious, but it only shines with its true value when given to the right person. Otherwise, it's no different from a dog's bone," Mu Chen said nonchalantly.

"Yes, accept it. This spirit bone's area healing ability seems tailor-made for you," Flender smiled.

"Exactly, he's the Tang Sect master. Why be polite?" Liu Erlong agreed with a smile.

"Thank you, Master. No, Boss Mu," Jiangzhu accepted Mu Chen's birthday gift with gratitude.

"What's your current soul power level?" Mu Chen asked.

"Level 37," Jiangzhu replied.

"Level 37?" Mu Chen raised an eyebrow.

"I... I'll work hard to train," Jiangzhu said, noticing the slight disapproval in Mu Chen's eyes. She clenched her fists, quickly promising to improve.

In other academies, raising one's soul power by two levels in a short time would be commendable. However, this was Tang Sect's Shrek Academy, and these people were all monsters. Being eighteen with only a soul power of thirty-seven wasn't an honor; it was a disgrace.

Ning Rongrong, age 14, level 63 auxiliary system Soul Emperor. 

Zhu Zhuqing, age 13, level 65 agility attack system Soul Emperor. 

Xiao Wu, age 13, level 67 power attack system Battle Soul Emperor. 

Oscar, age 15, level 64 food system Soul Emperor. 

Dai Mubai, age 16, level 66 power attack system Battle Soul Emperor. 

Ma Hongjun, age 15, level 69 power attack system Battle Soul Emperor. 

Tang San, age 13, level 73 control system Soul Sage. 

Meng Yiran, age 14, martial spirit Snake Spear Staff, level 64 power attack system Soul Emperor. 

Xue Ke, age 15, martial spirit Golden Swan, level 43 power attack system Battle Soul Emperor.

As for the Tang Sect master, Mu Chen, he was even more extraordinary: age 13, level 88 power attack system Battle Soul Douluo.

Among the Shrek Academy contestants for this tournament, only Xue Ke was six levels higher than Jiangzhu. To her, everyone else was a monster separated from her by a vast chasm.

Mu Chen observed Jiangzhu, who clenched her delicate hands, her gaze firm.

"If you want to get stronger, it's simple. Just ask Boss Mu to train you," Ning Rongrong teased with a smile.

Uh! 

Zhu Zhuqing was startled, recalling Mu Chen's use of the Thousand-Year Kill to push her to improve her Wind God Leg skills. She realized Ning Rongrong was pushing a future friend into the fire pit.

"Boss Mu, can you train me?" Jiangzhu asked earnestly, looking at Mu Chen.

"Here, take this," Mu Chen touched his storage soul guide, flicking his finger to send a box towards Jiangzhu.

"What's this?" Jiangzhu asked curiously.

"Open it and see," Mu Chen instructed.

Following his words, Jiangzhu opened the purple brocade box, and a refreshing scent filled the room.

"A pill?"

Tang San blurted out.

"A pill?" Xiao Wu echoed, asking, "Xiao San, what's a pill?"

Tang San glanced at Mu Chen, realizing he spoke too soon. Seeing Mu Chen nod, he explained, "A pill is a unique item created by refining herbs to extract their essence, forming a medicine that can cure ailments. The effects vary depending on the herbs used."

"So, mixing herbs together isn't that special?" Liu Erlong remarked plainly.

"Not at all. Different herbs have different properties. It's challenging to fuse them, and without proper knowledge, the resulting pill might be ineffective or even poisonous," Tang San added.

"Xiao San is right. This pill is called a Three-Pattern Clear Spirit Pill. It can increase a Soul Elder's level by three with certainty. With this pill, Jiangzhu, your soul power will reach level 40," Mu Chen said.

"Really?" Jiangzhu asked, delighted.

"To find out, just take it!" Tang San encouraged, intrigued.

"Okay."

Feeling everyone's gaze, Jiangzhu opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.

As the pill entered her stomach, a potent energy spread, nourishing her organs.

Soon, Jiangzhu opened her eyes, filled with joy.

"How is it?" Ning Rongrong asked.

"My soul power has reached level 40," Jiangzhu exclaimed happily.

"Now that your soul power is at level 40, take this gift too!" Mu Chen flicked his finger again, sending a core to Jiangzhu.

"What's this...?" Jiangzhu asked, seeing the core for the first time.

"It's something that can give you a spirit ring. It's called a core. This one can grant you a 50,000-year spirit ring," Mu Chen replied.

"A 50,000-year spirit ring?" Jiangzhu was stunned.

Soul Power +36,952 

Due to the collective shock, Mu Chen gained over 36,000 soul power points. Although it was less than one percent of the 4.89 million soul power required for his next level, every little bit helped.
