Chapter 102 Zhu Zhuqing's Change

After the second year of the academy, everyone found that Zhu Zhuqing had changed.

She was no longer timid.

This little girl who used to be bullied and kept silent began to show her claws and fangs to everyone.

She started with the marginal figures in Su Cheng's group and gradually divided and disintegrated them.

Most of these people were weak people who joined Su Cheng's group to seek shelter, or they also wanted to get a little prestige and make themselves superior on the surface.

Their own talents were average, their strength was insufficient, and their mental will was not strong.

In fact, they were not favored by those noble children with prominent backgrounds or extraordinary talents.

After entering this group, they were just inferior to others.

Zhu Zhuqing's approach was simple, resorting to force.

Of course, she would not attack others in public.

After being provoked by someone, she pressed back with the momentum of a soul master.

Nowadays, there are not many students of her age who have achieved the level of soul masters.

There is a huge difference between the strength of a martial soul with a spirit ring and one without, not to mention that the quality of the Nether Spirit Cat's martial soul is not weak.

Often Zhu Zhuqing only needs to slightly reveal her martial soul, without taking action, to overwhelm the opponent, at least she can have an absolute upper hand on the scene.

This is not over yet, she will retaliate afterwards.

With her current strength, even if she does not use her martial soul, she can easily teach these weaker students a lesson in secret.

And as long as she does not reveal her martial soul and uses the unique attack method of the Nether Spirit Cat, she should not be too heavy. Even after the attack, who would pursue her responsibility too much without evidence?

Ordinary conflicts between soul masters are inevitable. As long as you pay attention to the degree, it is not a big problem.

Last year, Zhu Zhuqing was just scared by the dean's verbal criticism and threat of expulsion on the first day of entering the academy, so she did not dare to use force.

In fact, the situation was special at that time, and generally speaking, a slight conflict would not have too serious consequences.

At that time, Su Cheng played a trick, which made his injury seem too serious. Moreover, his identity was somewhat different. In addition, during the period of time when he just entered school, he had already built up his own group of forces in advance, and his reputation among teachers was very good.

The combination of many factors made the dean furious and accused.

As for the others, why can they get extra care from the academy?

Not to mention that Zhu Zhuqing's identity is also different.

Even if the possibility of success is extremely low, this is also one of the candidates for the future queen.

Indeed, as a teacher in the Royal Academy, he does not pay special attention to the students' origins. There is nothing wrong with what the dean Zong Yun said at that time. Even if the royal children come to the academy, they must abide by the academy's discipline.

But for different students, the bottom line and standards of the academy's punishment will inevitably not be exactly the same.

Now for Zhu Zhuqing, the only problem she needs to consider is the revenge of the other group.

And these people are marginal figures and are not taken seriously.

As the leader of the team, Su Cheng has been living in seclusion and rarely appears in front of people during this period.

Naturally, she has ample room to play.

And violent means are only one of them.

Zhu Zhuqing is also taking advantage of her identity.

Everyone knows the status and power of the Zhu family in the Xingluo Empire.

In the past, Zhu Zhuqing was targeted by so many people, and Su Cheng's secret instigation was only one of the reasons.

Her noble birth is also a very important reason.

She was born in an ordinary family, but she could look down on the eldest lady from the Duke's Mansion.

This kind of psychological satisfaction also attracts people.

Unlike Su Cheng, who gradually expanded his influence with his own strength, words, temperament and prestige in the academy.

Now, Zhu Zhuqing is constantly using her family power to attract followers.

In addition to her extraordinary strength, after a period of time, she has gathered a lot of people around her.

After all, compared with Su Cheng, her advantage is quite intuitive.

There is no need to say much about her family background. At present, Zhu Zhuqing seems to be stronger in terms of strength.

After all, except when he entered school, Su Cheng almost never showed his strength, and he was knocked down by Zhu Zhuqing with one punch.

Even those who have the best relationship with Su Cheng don't know his depth very well, let alone these marginal figures.

Although Zhu Zhuqing's way of dealing with conflicts and winning people's hearts is still a little immature, it is enough in this junior college.

Part of this is due to Su Cheng's teachings to her.

But more of it is her daily understanding.

Zhu Zhuqing is not stupid, but she didn't open her mind before.

In addition, Zhang Sansan and other noble children who were not used to Su Cheng's previous style of doing things were also won over by her.

In fact, what Zhu Zhuqing didn't know was that those people were specially left for her by Su Cheng.

Although these struggles in the college are just small fights in Su Cheng's eyes, they are not worthy of being on the stage.

But it is a training for Zhu Zhuqing.

And the resources behind these people should not be underestimated.

Especially for people like Zhang Sansan, who is almost a sure future heir of the family, he can play a big role even in the future.

Except for Su Cheng, most people didn't care much about these silent changes.

Although Su Cheng noticed it, he was obviously happy to see it happen.

Even actively concealed his own existence, spending most of his time in the library of the academy, studying various materials related to martial spirits, and even rarely attending classes.

In this way, three months passed slowly.

The wind direction in the academy began to change significantly.

It was the end of the month again, and Zhu Zhuqing quietly left the academy alone.

At this time, Su Cheng, disguised as Zhu Hongtao, had already been waiting in the woods outside the academy.

"Dad, I'm here." Zhu Zhuqing greeted softly.

This is the third secret meeting this year.

Now she is no longer as gloomy as before.

Although she still has a cold face, it is more of a habit.

Compared with the past, her cheek lines have become softer, her eyes are clear and moving, and her long hair flutters gently in the night breeze.

This coldness has added a special mysterious temperament and personal charm to her.

"Xiaoqing, it seems that you are making good progress in the academy?"

Zhu Zhuqing heard this and nodded gently.

The shadow in her heart gradually dissipated. She, who had tasted the sweetness of power, became more confident.

"Su Cheng is different from those people. If you want to win him over to your side, you need to have enough strength in addition to the benefits." Su Cheng looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was now becoming more beautiful, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think that with your current strength, you can defeat him?"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know."

These days, Su Cheng stayed at home in the academy, and the two had few opportunities to meet.

Even though her strength has improved by leaps and bounds now, she dare not underestimate the other party at all.

In the past year, the shadow that person left on her was too heavy.

Su Cheng nodded when he heard it. It seemed that Zhu Zhuqing's mentality was still very stable, not too inflated, and she was indeed a plastic talent.

He took out a manuscript from his arms and handed it over.

This is a method of cultivation that he developed in more than a year, combining the martial soul bloodline and human medicine research, which is more suitable for soul masters.

Although I don't know how it compares to Tang San's Xuantian Gong, its efficiency is obviously far better than the basic meditation method currently popular on the mainland.

The most important thing is that this method has the same origin as the operation of soul power, and there is no saying that you must disperse the power before trying to practice.

In addition to improving the efficiency of practice, practicing with this method can also stimulate the potential of blood for a short time every day, and increase the upper limit of practice without damaging the foundation.

In fact, this second advantage is the most critical.

For soul masters, what restricts their upper limit of cultivation is not the speed of practice, but the bottleneck of the soul power that the body can accommodate every day.

The quality of martial soul is poor, and the soul power that can be improved every day is less. No matter how much time and energy you spend on practice, it is difficult to make any progress.

After using this practice method, although it cannot improve the martial soul in essence, it can greatly broaden the upper limit of future development.

Because of this feature, Su Cheng himself named this practice method "Nirvana Sutra".

Considering the current effect of this practice, this name is indeed a bit big.

But now he has just started, and as he studies more deeply in the future, maybe he can really achieve the effect of blood nirvana.

"What is this?" Zhu Zhuqing took the manuscript and asked curiously.

"This is the unique inheritance and cultivation method of our Netherworld Zhu family." Su Cheng made up casually, "I didn't give it to you before because you had just awakened your martial soul at that time, and you couldn't be too radical in cultivation. Now is the time. With this help, it won't be difficult to defeat Su Cheng in the future."

"Inherited skills?" Zhu Zhuqing was a little confused.

Since there is such a thing, why is the family's strength still behind the royal family.

Su Cheng saw her confusion and explained lightly: "This skill can only improve your cultivation speed, but it can't raise the potential limit of the martial soul. In the end, it is the quality of the martial soul that determines your final strength."

"Martial soul quality..." Zhu Zhuqing was shocked, and her heart was a little heavy.

"It's too early for you to consider these things now. Wait until you reach the upper limit of your cultivation." Su Cheng shook his head and nodded at her, then took out several glass bottles filled with emerald green liquid.

"Take these potions and take them when you practice. They can help you consolidate your foundation. Remember, take three drops each time and mix them into water. Don't use more than that, otherwise it will affect your future potential."

Zhu Zhuqing reached out to take the bottles of potions, and her face showed surprise again.

The family actually had such a deep accumulation of heritage, both the technique and the potion, which was completely beyond her expectations. She had never even heard of the "technique" before.

In fact, Su Cheng was a little helpless at this time.

These things must be given.

Otherwise, with Zhu Zhuqing's innate qualifications, no matter how hard she practiced, it would take an unknown number of years.

By then, the Xingluo Empire might be destroyed by the Wuhun Empire established later, and it would not be her turn to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Even if she had doubts about this, there was nothing she could do.

Anyway, it's good enough to be able to cultivate it, and the rest doesn't matter.

No matter if they have doubts or not, they will naturally know the benefits after using it.

"Xiaoqing, I have to remind you that you don't have much time left. It's best to reach a stable cooperative relationship with Su Cheng before the end of this year."

Before leaving, Su Cheng looked at Zhu Zhuqing solemnly.

There will be another chapter later.
