Chapter 114: Soul Swap? A Genius Becomes a Burden (Modified)



"Today, I will talk about the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm."

Standing at the podium, Old Chu scanned the students, ensuring everyone was present before continuing.

"This layer of the Spirit Realm is quite unique. It's a relatively normal human world with a certain level of order."

"Most importantly, the way you enter this Spirit Realm is not by physically going there but by sending your consciousness. Your bodies will remain in this world."

At this point, many students were shocked.

One student immediately asked, "Consciousness entry? Teacher, how can we fight monsters with just our consciousness?"

Old Chu explained, "When your consciousness enters the Spirit Realm, it will occupy the mind of a native, taking control of their body and becoming one of them."

"It's like the soul-swapping you see in movies and TV shows!"

"So, the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm is also known as the Soul Spirit Realm by some Paragons."

The students were still amazed.

"Teacher, does that mean we won't have any of our powers?" one student couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, since it's a consciousness entry into the Spirit Realm, all your innate abilities will be unusable, and you can't bring them into the Spirit Realm."

Hearing this, the students' faces turned pale.

They had grown accustomed to being Paragons and the benefits of their innate abilities. Returning to being ordinary mortals would undoubtedly be challenging.

Especially since the Spirit Realm worlds are relatively dangerous places, and without strength, there would be no sense of security.

Noticing the students' unease, Old Chu added, "Of course, the Spirit Realm won't take away your Paragon abilities... When you enter the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm and become ordinary people, it's only temporary."

"The Spirit Realm will convert all the attributes you've gained over the past few months into Spirit Energy Points, including the points you earned in the previous three layers, even if you've already used them."

"So, after entering the Spirit Realm, the attribute panel in your left eye will still be usable, and it will display a large number of Spirit Energy Points."

"These Spirit Energy Points will be a crucial resource for you to quickly grow stronger in the Spirit Realm!"

"You can continue to use these points to learn martial arts, upgrade your martial arts levels, and even advance your martial arts realm. It's the only way to become stronger in the Spirit Realm."

"The Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm is a world where martial arts thrive. Learning martial skills can grant you exceptional strength."

The students were astonished, never expecting the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm to have such a novel approach.

"Teacher, if the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm is a normal human world, does that mean our tasks won't involve killing monsters anymore?" a student asked.

Old Chu shook his head, "As I mentioned, it's only relatively normal. In the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm, terrifying monsters still exist, and they are beyond your imagination..."

After a pause, Old Chu continued, "However, your tasks in the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm are indeed not primarily about hunting monsters but collecting Martial Arts Points!"

"These Martial Arts Points are earned by defeating native martial arts experts through duels. Once your Martial Arts Points exceed 10,000, you'll receive an S-Class task evaluation!"

"After entering the Spirit Realm, you'll have one month to complete your tasks. During this time, you can challenge and defeat renowned martial arts masters, earning additional temporary Spirit Energy Points to continue growing stronger."

"But this can be dangerous, as these famous masters are all exceptionally powerful.

"By challenging them at their doorstep, you're essentially provoking them, and they won't hold back."

"If you sign a death contract, the local government won't interfere either."

"So, before you go, make sure you understand your opponent's background!"

"Killing important figures from enemy nations can earn you Martial Arts Points, but it's also more dangerous, as these figures are usually guarded by numerous powerful individuals."

"You can figure out the specifics on your own, as long as you can earn Martial Arts Points, any method is fair game."

"However, don't ruin your reputation. There are many Righteous Knights in the Spirit Realm who target those with a bad reputation. Additionally, a tarnished reputation will affect your future in the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm, as you'll have to enter it again."

The students took note of this information.

Just then, another student asked, "Can we still form teams?"

"Yes!"

Old Chu replied, "When you enter the Spirit Realm as a team, you might end up in different bodies. But don't worry, there's a special connection between teammates in the Spirit Realm, and this ability will help you find each other quickly."

"I personally suggest that after entering the Spirit Realm, you don't act alone. It's best to find your teammates first, discuss and plan together, and then take action."

"The final reward calculation for the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm is not based on individual Martial Arts Points, but on the highest points among your teammates, which will be used as the reference standard."

"So, acting alone is not efficient. It's better to unite and support one person while also looking out for each other."

The students nodded in agreement.

At that moment...

The bell rang, signaling the end of class.

Old Chu said, "That's all for today. Remember what I just said, and write it down. Tomorrow, I'll talk about the world background of the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm, so make sure to be here on time."

...

Meanwhile, in Class A.

Ms. Shen was teaching the students.

As soon as the bell rang, Ms. Shen immediately took Song Haitang to her office.

"Haitang, I called you here because the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm is particularly unfriendly to you."

In the office, Ms. Shen explained, "Your Flamefruit Ability is originally much stronger than others' innate abilities, but with the Spirit Realm's restrictions, you're only slightly ahead with more Spirit Energy Points, which isn't a significant advantage."

She paused.

"Other than that, I'm worried about the foreign students. They might target you in the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm, as it's a rare opportunity for them!"

"I'm certain that as soon as you become well-known, they'll come after you. So, this Spirit Realm is extremely dangerous for you, unless you don't aim for a Perfect Task Evaluation and plan to keep a low profile..."

Ms. Shen knew it was unlikely as she spoke.

After spending so much time with this student, she understood Song Haitang's personality—a very determined individual.

Asking this child to back down? Impossible.

After hearing Ms. Shen's words, Song Haitang furrowed her delicate brows in thought.

Indeed, the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm restricted innate abilities, effectively leveling the playing field.

The same was true for Zhao Zheng.

If they were surrounded by foreign newcomers, it would be extremely dangerous.

The girl was unaware of just how powerful Zhao Zheng's attributes had become.
