Chapter 604: The Sky Soul System, “Shabby” Zhang Zhen
“Dual cultivation systems?”
Upon hearing that there were two different cultivation systems, Xu Yao’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Sir, what is the cultivation system of the Four Directions Continent? Can we cultivate it?”
Xu Yao’s excitement was not alone; everyone in the group was quite interested in this new cultivation system.
They were all prodigies, and they had traveled far and wide to this unfamiliar world precisely to broaden their horizons and see more things.
If the prodigies from the Four Directions Continent could practice dual cultivation systems, there was no reason they couldn’t do it too!
Feeling the excitement of the crowd, Chen Changsheng said calmly, “The cultivation system of the Four Directions Continent starts very simply. I will tell you about it later.”
“The current priority is to assign each of you an appropriate identity.”
With that, Chen Changsheng took out several sets of clothes.
“In the Four Directions Continent, ranks are strict. Since we are so many people gathered together, there must be a hierarchy.”
“I have two sets of attendant clothes, four sets of servant clothes, one set of assassin clothes, and one set of formal attire.”
“Choose your own identity.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao grinned and immediately reached for the only set of formal attire.
“I want to try commanding you guys.”
“Slap!”
Just as Xu Yao extended her hand, Chen Changsheng gave her a hard knock on the back of her hand.
Rubbing her red hand, Xu Yao complained, “Sir, didn’t you say we could choose our own clothes?”
“I did say you could choose, but I didn’t say you could do it without thinking.”
“In such a strict hierarchy, those young masters and misses are extremely rule-abiding.”
“With your carefree personality, you’ll be exposed within three days. Change into an attendant’s outfit!”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Xu Yao stuck out her tongue and then walked away with the clothes.
Seeing this situation, the competitive spirit of the major prodigies was slightly stirred.
After all, everyone wanted to see who was qualified to wear the formal attire.
Thinking of this, Su You spoke up, “Sir, why don’t you wear this outfit instead?”
“Logically speaking, I can wear it, but my presence is too conspicuous. Being too showy is not conducive to hiding.”
“So, who do you plan to let wear this outfit?”
Hearing this, Gui Qianjie’s eyes rolled, and she said, “Sir, can my senior brother wear it?”
“Dao Ran is steady and has a good demeanor, but he likes you, so he cannot wear it.”
Gui Qianjie: ??
“No, my senior brother likes me. Why can’t he wear this outfit?”
“In the Four Directions Continent, high-ranking people would never fall in love with low-ranking ones. Your senior brother’s eyes are always on you, and that will expose him.”
Upon hearing this, Gui Daoran smiled faintly and picked up two sets of servant clothes, saying, “Everyone, let’s change clothes first. You can take your time choosing.”
With that, Gui Daoran pulled Gui Qianjie away.
After they left, Chen Changsheng glanced at Jian Fei.
Seeing this, Jian Fei sighed, “Sir, you don’t need to look at me. I know my own limits.”
“I was born in the market, so naturally, I carry the aura of the common folk. Playing the role of a young master or miss is beyond me.”
With that, Jian Fei also took a set of servant clothes.
“What kind of clothes can I wear?”
Zhang Zhen, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, “You are calm, measured in your actions, and exude a cold aura, with a hint of shabbiness. You are suitable to be an assassin.”

When he heard the word “shabby,” Zhang Zhen’s lips twitched.
“Do I really look so shabby?”
“Yes.”
“Can it be changed?”
“It cannot. It’s something ingrained in your bones.”
“The White-Haired Sword God is brilliant, suppressing all sword cultivators, but it doesn’t stop his partner from often calling him uncouth. Do you understand what I mean?”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s serious expression, Zhang Zhen’s lips twitched again.
“You really know how to speak.”
“Thank you for the compliment!”
With that, Zhang Zhen took the assassin’s clothes.
At this point, only Su You and Ma Ling’er were left.
Looking at the two in front of him, Chen Changsheng said calmly, “This set of clothes, both of you can wear. So, who wants to wear it?”
Hearing this, Ma Ling’er thought for a moment and said, “Sir, let me do it.”
“We are deep in enemy territory, and our main task is to disrupt them as much as possible.”
“As the saying goes, even heroes find it hard to resist beauty. I am somewhat familiar with seduction tactics, whereas Su hasn’t yet encountered his beloved. He may not be as skilled in this area.”
Hearing these words, Su You smiled and very tactfully took the last set of attendant’s clothes.
To be the leader of the team, one must shoulder some responsibilities.
As Ma Ling’er also pointed out, she was indeed more proficient in seduction tactics than him, as she had experienced such matters just three years ago.
After Su You left, Chen Changsheng turned to Ma Ling’er.
“If you’re not ready, I can do it. After all, I’m quite presentable.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ma Ling’er smiled and said, “If I weren’t prepared, I wouldn’t have come here with you.”
“There are many interesting things in the world, and love isn’t everything. You underestimate me.”
“Haha! You’ve really grown over these three years. I’m very pleased.”
With that, Chen Changsheng took the servant’s clothes.
…
On the road.
“Tread tread tread!”
A finely crafted carriage was slowly moving along the road.
Xu Yao and Su You were walking on either side of the carriage, while Chen Changsheng held the reins and controlled its direction.
Jian Fei and the other two playing servants followed behind the carriage, while Zhang Zhen hid in the shadows.
“The Four Directions Continent focuses on the Sky Soul. Once people reach a certain age, they will awaken their Sky Soul.”
“There are many types of Sky Souls: objects, plants, spirits, deities. Among them, deities are the most popular.”
“Other than that, weapons, beasts, and special plants are also considered excellent talents.”
“The type of Sky Soul determines the treatment you receive in the Four Directions Continent.”
“And among the same type of Sky Souls, there are quality distinctions. Quality is divided by color, from highest to lowest: red, gold, blue, green, white.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao curiously asked, “Sir, does the quality of the Sky Soul affect cultivation?”
“Yes. Even if two Sky Souls are identical, the one with higher quality will always cultivate faster.”
“Besides the difference in cultivation speed, the quality of the Sky Soul also has two advantages: evolution and inheritance.”
“For example, if you awaken a Sky Soul, and your Sky Soul is a weed, but its quality is red.”
“Over time, your Sky Soul might evolve.”
