Chapter 50 The Arrival of the Newcomer
Chapter 50 The Arrival of the Newcomer
After Snape left, Dumbledore let out a long sigh and complained, "I remember you just promised me last night that you'd be quieter."
Chu Yang thought for a long time but couldn't remember when he had promised Dumbledore to be quieter. However, seeing the old man's unfriendly expression, he quickly nodded and offered his sincere apologies.
Dumbledore, who had been frowning, relaxed considerably and slowly asked, "First-year students shouldn't have taken Charms class yet. Where did you learn your spells? You even defeated an older student. That's beyond my expectations."
The students who lost to Chu Yang, Marcus and Harper, were both in fifth grade.
Other students graduated up to the seventh grade!
Upon learning of Chu Yang's performance, even Dumbledore, who was used to seeing all sorts of things, couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Even Tom Riddle, Voldemort, didn't act as dramatically as Chu Yang did in his first year.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, I used all the living expenses the school sponsored for me to buy books." Chu Yang smiled shyly. "My suitcase contains spellbooks for seven years of study."
"Seven years' worth of books?" Dumbledore was somewhat incredulous, yet also filled with emotion. "While I admire your studiousness, I must remind you that Hogwarts' textbooks are not static; they depend primarily on your instructors."
"The books you bought might only be considered extracurricular reading."
Chu Yang was silent for a moment, then said frankly, "It's okay, reading more books is never a bad thing."
Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well said. A wizard's power comes from knowledge, and magic is secondary. Many adult wizards don't understand this."
Dumbledore then had Chu Yang demonstrate the spells he had mastered. Apart from some spells that were inconvenient to demonstrate, Chu Yang used most of the spells recorded in "Elementary Spells".
While surprised, Dumbledore's expression gradually became serious. A talented student can make a teacher feel gratified, but it can also make him worry that the student might go astray.
Dumbledore reminded Chu Yang, "You have already experienced the power of spells and understand the profound and mighty nature of magic, so you must use it with even greater caution. Remember, use it correctly!"
Chu Yang nodded. Dumbledore practically told him not to become the next Dark Lord.
"Alright, you can go back now. Don't forget to have lunch in the Great Hall." Dumbledore waved his hand, signaling Chu Yang to leave.
The heavy wooden door made a teeth-grinding sound. Chu Yang, who had just stepped out of the principal's office, suddenly had his vision blur. The familiar feeling made him realize that the Soul Palace was calling him.
In the blink of an eye, the mist led Chu Yang to the Soul Palace, where he soon saw two "selves" he hadn't seen in a long time standing beside the throne.
Beside them, Chu Yang saw a new "self"!
The four of them naturally gathered around each other, touched each other, and began to share the memories and strength they had accumulated during this time.
Having shared the memories, Chu Yang looked at the new "self" in surprise.
Chu Yang, the latest addition to the Soul Palace, comes from the world of Demon Slayer.
With lingering fear, Ghost Slayer Chu Yang said, "You have no idea how terrifying it is there. I live alone in the mountains, and I'm too scared to go out after dark!"
"The day before I entered the palace, I happened to encounter a demon. If the Demon Slayer Corps hadn't arrived in time, I would have been dead!"
Pirate Chu Yang asked curiously, "Where are you now?"
After thinking for a moment, Chu Yang replied, "It should be the Butterfly Mansion. I was brought here by the Demon Slayer Corps when I was injured and unconscious. When I woke up, I found that there were many patients here, and I also saw Shinobu Kocho."
Hokage Chu Yang reminded him, "Then you must seize this opportunity to join the Demon Slayer Corps. Breathing techniques are a valuable skill; they can unlock the potential of the human body."
"I didn't dare to think about it before. I just wanted to survive until the story ended. In that godforsaken place, just surviving was hard enough." Demon Slayer Chu Yang let out a long sigh and said, "But now there's no problem."
Magic Chu Yang comforted him, saying, "Don't feel guilty. Newcomers are always free to come for the first time. We're all on the same side, and cooperation and mutual benefit are the key."
Hokage Chu Yang chuckled and said, "So be it, I'm used to it anyway. But speaking of which, magic is quite interesting. I'm thinking of temporarily putting aside my ninjutsu training and focusing on studying magic."
Magic Chu Yang immediately stopped Naruto Chu Yang's naive idea, explaining, "Every time we return to the Soul Palace, our skills are synchronized at the highest level among us. Everyone must specialize in one ability; it would be a waste to be distracted in training!"
Chu Yang, the Naruto, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that he had always thought that the skill sharing of the Soul Palace was like adding the talents of several people together.
Pirate Chu Yang nodded and said, "I only realized this after I got back, so during this time I didn't focus on training my chakra and wood release, but instead kept consolidating my Haki."
Magic Chu Yang said, "Haki is the most powerful force in the One Piece world. When cultivated to a high level, it can even suppress and forcibly break the abilities of Devil Fruits. Also, you need to master Conqueror's Haki as soon as possible."
Pirate Chu Yang shook his head and said, "I know, but Conqueror's Haki is something you're born with, I might not have it."
Magic Chu Yang retorted, "For others, it might be innate, but for us, it's just a matter of numbers. Just because it doesn't work now doesn't mean it won't work in the future. What you need to do is find a master who is proficient in Conqueror's Haki and experience the power of Conqueror's Haki."
Pirate Chu Yang thought that what Magic Chu Yang said made a lot of sense, and began to think about which Conqueror's Haki masters he could contact in the near future.
Hokage Chu Yang joked, "Those who have studied are different; they've arranged everything so clearly for us."
Although memory and talent are shared.
However, each Chu Yang's personality will differ due to environmental and upbringing factors.
At the suggestion of the magical Chu Yang, each of the Chu Yangs in each world chose to specialize in the unique power belonging to their own world.
After the mutual benefit and sharing, the strength of each Chu Yang has been qualitatively improved.
The mist appeared precisely on time, bringing them back to their respective worlds.
One Piece world.
Having spent several months on the Sun Pirates, Chu Yang gradually adapted to pirate life. He had learned a lot of helmsmanship skills from Jinbe and could occasionally take Jinbe's place.
As the impact of the burning of the Holy Land worsened, the Navy's pursuit of the Sun Pirates became exceptionally fierce.
During this period, Chu Yang helped the Sun Pirates repel several waves of naval attacks.
To express his gratitude, Tiger invited him to join the Sun Pirates several times.
But Chu Yang still refused.
Tiger has his own goals, and the direction of the Sun Pirates is determined by Tiger. Chu Yang also has his own path to follow, which means he is destined to be unable to integrate into this group.
