Chapter 9: The filth of the past is not worth boasting about, but the debauchery of today is boundless

"Child, you finally came out. How is it? Does your martial soul have soul power? How much innate soul power do you have?"

As soon as Chen Xi walked out of the circular teaching building, Dean Wu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, rushed to Chen Xi and asked anxiously.

During the time of waiting for Chen Xi's martial soul to awaken, Dean Wu was like an ant on a hot pot, unable to calm down. It was as if a fire had ignited in his heart, burning more and more vigorously and difficult to extinguish.

She had never felt the meaning of the phrase "every second feels like an eternity" as clearly as she did today.

The children who had just awakened their martial spirits and their parents couldn't help but stop and wanted to see how much innate spirit power Chen Xi had. After all, people love to watch the fun.

"He must be very powerful, right? Unlike me, who only has the third level of innate soul power."

Among these people were Tang Wulin and his son, but Tang Wulin looked a little depressed. When he heard what Dean Wu said, he couldn't help but look at Chen Xi and thought in his heart.

"I have soul power..."

Chen Xi, who was being watched by many people, finally spoke. The first sentence made Dean Wu feel relieved, and she kept nodding her head.

But what Chen Xi said next was like a bucket of cold water poured on Dean Wu's head, and her heart finally died.

"But the innate soul power is level five and a half."

"Wha...what?!"

A look of shock flashed across her face, and she looked like she was struck by lightning. She stared at Chen Xi with her hands trembling slightly, as if she couldn't believe what Chen Xi had just said.

"That shouldn't be possible, right? Did you hear wrongly? How could you only have level 5 soul power..."

"Whether you believe it or not, no one can change the fact that I have level five soul power."

Chen Xi frowned as he looked at Dean Wu, who looked pale in front of him. So he really couldn't believe it?

There is a type of people in this world who, when they have unfulfilled goals, place all their hopes on their children, hoping that the next generation will complete their parents' unfinished goals, regrets, or they want to live a good life by relying on the next generation.

And when the next generation fails to achieve their goals, they will be in disbelief, have emotional breakdowns, and blame it all on their children...

It is obvious that Dean Wu is now a typical person who pins his hopes on others.

The greater her hopes were at the beginning, the greater her disappointment was. People who experience such a huge psychological gap will inevitably get out of control of their emotions.

Just like now, even if Dean Wu believed that Chen Xi did not hear clearly, he was unwilling to believe that Chen Xi's innate soul power was only level five and a half.

"No, you must have heard it wrong. Come with me, I will let the spiritual master test your soul power again..."

Dean Wu's face was pale and he muttered to himself. As he spoke, he reached out to Chen Xi, trying to grab Chen Xi and send him back to the awakening room.

"I told you, I only have level 5 soul power!"

Chen Xi dodged Dean Wu's hand and spoke in a somewhat impatient tone. At the same time, brilliant white lightning began to wrap around his body. The violent aura made the people around him feel terrified.

It must be uncomfortable for a person to be hit by this kind of lightning, right? !

The people who were eating melons around quietly stepped back a few steps, trying not to be accidentally injured by the lightning.

Tang Wulin looked at Chen Xi's martial soul with envy. Lightning was so powerful. It was unlike his own blue silver grass martial soul which was useless.

"I...I know. I just got a little excited, but this is all for your own good."

Dean Wu also came to her senses after hearing Chen Xi's impatient words. She took a few steps back, her voice weakened, and she broke out in a cold sweat. Did she just have the idea of ​​forcing Chen Xi?
Others don’t know Chen Xi’s background, but she knows how Chen Xi came to her family’s orphanage.

She remembered that it was one night. When she was going back to the orphanage, a tall woman suddenly appeared in front of her. The child in her arms was Chen Xi.

"This child has nothing to do with me. I give it to you. You can raise him however you want."

"By the way, his last name is Chen and his name is Xi. Don't give him any other name."

The woman handed the child, some federal coins and the child's name to him and said this, then she disappeared in an instant.

Dean Wu also had some knowledge and knew that this woman was a high-level spirit master, perhaps a Titled Douluo.

Although the woman said that the child had nothing to do with her and she could raise the child however she wanted, Dean Wu was somewhat confused about what she meant.

If it really has nothing to do with you, why don't you just throw it away? Why did you send it to me? And even specify a name for it?

She didn't know what to do, so when Chen Xi was one or two years old, she was treated the same as other orphans. She was also afraid that the woman might come back, so she didn't abuse Chen Xi.

She still has some brains, and she would only beat and scold those children without any background.

It was not until Chen Xi showed his talent that Dean Wu began to be attentive to Chen Xi and gave him the best food and clothing.

Not only because Chen Xi brought huge economic resources to the orphanage, but also because by doing so, he might be able to win the favor of the mysterious woman.

Even if Chen Xi really had nothing to do with the mysterious woman, the money she gave Chen Xi for food and clothing was all earned by Chen Xi himself, so she didn't lose anything.

Even because Chen Xi's orphanage has become the most famous orphanage in Aolai City and even in the surrounding cities, it receives a generous subsidy from the government every year, not to mention her other income.

Although we have made a lot of money in the past few years and the scale of the orphanage has been determined,
But she was still not satisfied. She hoped that Chen Xi would become a powerful soul master, so that her status in society would also rise. If one person succeeds, everyone else will benefit.

If you bet right, you will be rich and powerful, and if you bet wrong, you will not lose the slightest bit. No one can refuse such a sure-win deal, right? Even if there is someone who can refuse it, that person is definitely not Dean Wu himself.

So now Dean Wu doesn't dare to teach Chen Xi a lesson because of that mysterious woman, let alone attack him.

"..."

Chen Xi glanced at the distraught Dean Wu and said nothing more. He then walked out of Hongshan College.

Dean Wu's face turned pale and blue when he didn't get a response. Finally, he could only sigh and follow Chen Xi, walking out of Hongshan College together.

Those who were watching the fun quickly caught up with Chen Xi. They would be able to eat melons outside, which was very enjoyable.
Some people wanted to share this with others, and they quickly overtook Chen Xi and ran out of the campus.

…………

"Come out! Come out!"

Those who had received the news stood at the gate of Hongshan College, stretched their necks, and looked for Chen Xi on the campus. When they saw Chen Xi walking to the gate of the campus, they couldn't help but shout loudly.

After hearing this man's voice, the crowd suddenly exploded with a "wong" sound. Countless people squeezed forward. Those who had heard the gossip wanted to see if it was true, and those who didn't want to see if Chen Xi was really a genius.

"I heard that he only has level 5 soul power, but I don't know if it's true?!"

"What?! Let me see!"

"Hey stop pushing, who is touching my butt? Bro, I'm a man!!!"

It has to be said that no matter where you go, the love for gloating and watching the fun that is engraved in people's bones will never disappear.

At this moment, Chen Xi, with an expressionless face, walked out of the school gate, followed by the dejected Dean Wu.

Among the crowd who saw this scene, some people lowered their heads and talked, some frowned, and some laughed out loud.

“It looks real!”

"Could it be a test error?"

"That's impossible. It's not tens of thousands of years ago. The methods for testing soul power have already matured beyond measure."

"I don't quite understand, is there anyone who can explain it to me?"

"Let me explain. Innate soul power is like the final score of a test paper. Before the martial soul is awakened, it is like a blank test paper. When the martial soul is awakened, it is like answering questions on the test paper. Only after answering the questions can the test score be measured, which is the innate soul power. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see. Thanks for explaining."

"So, most people with high innate soul power do show characteristics that surpass ordinary people, such as being smarter, stronger, more flexible, etc."

"But this is not absolutely true. Some people can have very high soul power even if they do not have characteristics that surpass ordinary people. Conversely, having characteristics that surpass ordinary people does not necessarily mean that one's innate soul power is necessarily high."

"Alas~ The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I hope this child won't be discouraged."

Listening to the crowd's chatter, Chen Xi continued walking with an expressionless face. As he got closer and closer to the crowd, he could clearly see the expressions of those in front of him and feel everyone's gazes on him.

There was disappointment, pity, compassion, shock, gloating, and ridicule in these eyes...

Most people are speaking with the intention of watching the fun. After all, people love to see the fall of geniuses, the rise of losers, the death of selfish people because of their dedication, and other things with great contrasts.

Of course, there are also some people who mock Chen Xi. In the eyes of some people, there is nothing they dare not belittle.

Some people, no matter how low their status is, dare to mock those who are beyond their reach, just to satisfy their desire to talk.

However, these looks and words did not cause any emotional fluctuations in Chen Xi, and his mood was basically calm.

Other people's opinions are of no use to you.

Others will gloat over this and ridicule you, but what can you do about it?
Chen Xi is not a person who is physically and mentally fragile and can easily suffer from depression and become depressed. These words will not hurt him, so let them discuss it.

However, Chen Xi thought of a TV series he had watched in his previous life. There was a lord in the TV series who was too "benevolent" and cared too much about what others thought of him. Even if someone came to him with maps of other territories, he wanted to join forces with him to seize the territory.

But he was afraid of damaging his image of benevolence and righteousness, so he refused the opportunity. In the end, he had to sacrifice a military advisor before he could start an open attack on the enemy.

Such people are typical of those who care too much about what others think, which causes them to always live in the opinions of others and cannot control their own behavior.

However, there is a saying that goes like this: "Money cannot buy my happiness, and everything goes well for me."

After all, people live their lives for themselves. There is no need to demand other people's likes or dislikes. Just do what you like and what is good for yourself.

Go your own way and let others tell you!

Thinking of this, Chen Xi chuckled, and when the crowd saw Chen Xi laugh, they consciously stopped talking, wanting to hear what Chen Xi would say next.

Chen Xi opened his mouth and chanted with a proud look on his face: "My past filthiness is not worth boasting about, but today I am unrestrained and have no limits."

　Do you mind if Na'er follows Tang Wulin in the early stages?
　　If you mind, I'll let Yali take Naer away directly.
