Chapter 318 Leveling Up Starts with Cultivating the Mind: Pursuing Inner Peace

Li Xueru slowly opened his eyes and met Hong Jishi's gaze.

Both of them showed a look of shock.

Jiang Chen only went to the Abyss World for half a day, how could he possibly exude such terrifying killing intent?

Hong Jishi's eyes gleamed as he saw Jiang Chen enveloped in a thick aura of killing intent.

This is the aura accumulated after countless lives have been slaughtered.

Despite having single-handedly wiped out the Yalong Legion, Jiang Chen's killing intent was already quite intense.

However, compared to this moment, it's nothing but a drop in the ocean, incomparable.

Jiang Chen returned to the courtyard and respectfully bowed to Hong Jishi and Li Xueru, "Teacher, Senior Li, I'm back."

His attitude remained respectful, but the indifference in his eyes was completely different from before.

Hong Ki-seok asked, "What did you do in the abyss?"

Jiang Chen was not surprised, because Hong Jishi knew that he had gone to the Abyss.

Li Xueru was almost omnipotent and mysterious.

Jiang Chen recounted in detail everything he had done in the abyss.

Even though Li Xueru remained calm, his expression changed.

Hong Jishi exclaimed in surprise, "You actually killed the Four-Winged Bull King's clone?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "With the help of the Primordial Runes, my newly awakened talent, and a large number of corpses, I succeeded."

"But it didn't intend to escape. If it did, I probably wouldn't be able to stop it."

Hong Ki-seok added, "That guy is an idiot; he only knows how to fight, not how to run away."

Hong Jishi had fought against the Four-Winged Bull King before and knew his personality.

He is indeed a stubborn devil with a simple mind.

Li Xueru carefully examined Jiang Chen and said softly, "You've set a precedent in history. The Abyss has always been a place for massacring cities and killing people. I never expected that you would go to the Abyss to slaughter demons."

“The murderous aura is too strong, this is bad, my mind is not at peace.” Hong Jishi nodded in agreement.

Hong Jishi hummed in agreement. "Jiang Chen, how far are you from level 40?"

Jiang Chen checked his experience: "55% more." Jiang Chen had reached level 39 after conquering the third demon castle.

In the Demon King's City, although his time there was short, he killed many high-level demons and even defeated the Demon King's avatar.

Finally, the deadly poison ring also gave him about 45% experience.

Hong Jishi pondered, "Don't go into dungeons or level up for now. Your current state isn't suitable for a job change."

Jiang Chen nodded; he himself also felt that something was wrong with his current state.

I knew it in my heart, but I couldn't suppress it.

Now I often feel the urge to kill.

I wish I could rush back into the Abyss World, or go to the Dragon World, and wreak havoc.

He exuded a murderous aura, his eyes icy cold, completely different from before. Killing demons and dragons was entirely different from killing monsters in dungeons.

Killing more monsters won't accumulate killing intent.

A phantom image of the Divine Dragon Tower appeared in Li Xueru's hand, followed by a beam of light that enveloped Jiang Chen.

Under the light, Jiang Chen felt his heart calm down.

His killing intent subsided considerably, and the murderous aura emanating from his body ceased to surge.

Jiang Chen felt his head was clearing up a lot. "Thank you, Senior Li."

Li Xueru said, "You spent nearly a month in the Genesis Academy and the archives, reading hundreds of books, allowing your mind to settle down, but unfortunately, it wasn't thorough enough."

Jiang Chen asked, "Does Senior Li mean I should continue reading?"

Li Xueru shook his head. "It's no use looking at it now." He gave Hong Jishi a wink, and Hong Jishi understood. "Go back and rest for a few days. Don't think about anything or do anything. I'll come find you in a couple of days."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Alright, then I'll take my leave."

After Jiang Chen left, Hong Jishi's expression was somewhat strange.

"Old Li, you really want me to go find him?" Hong Jishi said in a low voice.

Li Xueru revealed a strange smile, "What? For the sake of your student, you can't even let go of such a small amount of face?"

Hong Jishi shook his head, "That's not how it works, it's just really not good."

Li Xueru chuckled, "Anyway, I've already given you the idea. Whether it's good or bad is up to you."

"I'm going to continue investigating that matter. I've made some progress. You can consider it yourself."

Hong Jishi's expression changed slightly. "Have you confirmed who it is?" Li Xueru nodded. "Soon. These vermin won't escape."

At Shenlong University, Jiang Chen headed to the library.

Although Li Xueru said that reading books now wouldn't be of much use, Jiang Chen still wanted to give it another try.

With Li Xueru's help, Jiang Chen's murderous aura had subsided considerably.

However, he still felt somewhat cold.

His eyes were terrifying.

As he walks down the street, even the temperature in the vicinity drops.

Some students who were passing by noticed something was amiss.

The library was very quiet, with some students reading attentively and searching for information.

A quiet and peaceful atmosphere enveloped the entire library.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the library, he saw Chu Yao at first glance.

“She’s here too…” Chu Yao also saw Jiang Chen and smiled elegantly and gently. “Jiang Chen, it’s been a long time.”

All things considered, the two had indeed not seen each other for some time.

Jiang Chen forced a smile, "Long time no see."

As Chu Yao approached Jiang Chen, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, sensing something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chen shook his head. "It's nothing. Can you help me find some books?"

Chu Yao looked Jiang Chen up and down. She realized that there was definitely something wrong with Jiang Chen, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

But his face still held a gentle smile. "Okay, what book are you looking for?"

Jiang Chen said, "Let's keep it cozy, no fighting or killing."

Knowing where the problem lies, I am looking for ways to solve it.

Chu Yao thought for a moment, "If it's going to be heartwarming and not full of fighting, then it can't be biographies of important figures, it can't be history, and it definitely can't be related to the Abyss..."

The history of humanity is a history of war, biographies of great figures, and inevitably interspersed with numerous battles.

Anything related to the abyss is even worse.

After much thought, all I could come up with were some interesting little stories, which were also referred to as miscellaneous books.

These books are of no significance to the development of humanity, yet they were included for occasional relaxation.

Chu Yao helped Jiang Chen find a batch of such books.

Jiang Chen started reading.

A series of short stories, interesting and simple...

Gradually, Jiang Chen's emotions calmed down.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and a skeleton appeared beside Jiang Chen.

The skeleton appeared only for a moment before disappearing again.

Jiang Chen was reading a book while summoning skeletons to replenish his undead army.

He had done the same thing at the Genesis Academy, so he was very familiar with it.

Chu Yao looked at Jiang Chen for a while before turning and leaving.

After leaving the library, Chu Yao activated the teleportation stone and disappeared from the university.

The courtyard was filled with the aroma of herbs; a single breath was enough to invigorate one's spirit.

Shenlong University, Pharmacy College, is a paradise for pharmacy.

Although not a combat-oriented profession, the status of apothecaries is not low.

The Pharmacy College is second only to the three top colleges in status.

Chu Yao entered the courtyard, walked to the back of the courtyard, and came to the outside of a detached hut. She pushed the door open and went straight in.

"elder brother."

Inside the house, a middle-aged man was preparing medicine, his hands shimmering with a dazzling, beautiful rainbow of colors.

The light entered the medicine bottle as if it were alive, and the medicine inside began to sparkle.

This is a skill belonging to pharmacists.

The middle-aged man did not stop dispensing the medicine. "Yaoyao, wait a moment, I'm almost done."

Chu Yao gracefully sat down at the table and waited quietly.

A few minutes later, with a flash of brilliant light, the middle-aged man's potion was ready.

Looking at the medicine bottle shimmering with seven-colored light, the middle-aged man breathed a long sigh of relief, "Finally, it worked."

Chu Yao smiled slightly, "Brother, there's something I'd like to ask you."

"Go ahead and ask, why are you being so polite with me?" The middle-aged man's eyes were full of affection, and his attitude was extremely friendly.

Chu Yao recounted her encounter with Jiang Chen that day.

"Brother, do you think Jiang Chen has run into some trouble?" The middle-aged man frowned. "It's hard to judge just from what you say. We'll have to see for ourselves."

Chu Yao immediately pulled him along, "Then come with me to take a look."
