After everything had calmed down, Du Chen found a secluded place to examine the tattoo on his buttocks. He remained silent for a long time.
Before stopping the battle , only about one or two out of ten lotus flowers had bloomed up to the "Shang Que Dui Gua" position(1 o'clock position). However, after Du Chen saved the civilians of Antwerp Port, only half of a lotus flower had bloomed. Now, the first lotus flower of the "Shang Que Dui Gua" position had bloomed to about seventy to eighty percent.
Master "Grape" had said that the further one progressed in the "The Lotus Treasure Mirror," the more difficult it became to cultivate. Du Chen had already realized that the rewards for this single act of kindness would not be significant, but he hadn't expected them to be so small.
It seemed that when he reached the final stage, he would truly need to save all of humanity to make a noticeable change in the lotus flower on his buttocks.
However, Du Chen contemplated to himself that the "Treasure Mirror" was forcing him to do more good deeds, compensating for quality with quantity. In the later stages, saving one city wouldn't bring about a change in the lotus flower, so he would have to save several cities, even dozens!
The focus of the "Lotus Flower Treasure Mirror" was to accumulate the power of the immortal's wishes!
There was also another frustrating matter. After inquiring with Steve, Du Chen confirmed that his internal energy from the lotus flower was equivalent to that of a third-level fighter god. However, the strength of a third-level fighter
god was not just about strength and speed; they placed more emphasis on the application of techniques. This made Du Chen, who knew nothing about techniques, question his own strength.
Fortunately, he would soon enter the School of Fighter Gods, where there would be plenty of techniques waiting for him to learn.
On the second day after the pythons besieged the city, the teachers who came to support Zig from the School of Figher Gods also arrived at Antwerp Port. However, they brought an extremely shocking piece of news - Zig's captive had escaped, and the holy artifact had been forcefully claimed by someone else!
There was a powerful fighter beyond imagination who had slapped the School of Fighter Gods hard, giving Zig a great humiliation!
Du Chen didn't need to consider what these teachers thought or how Zig would handle this matter. He spent his days running back and forth between the port and the refugee camp, dedicating himself to helping the displaced people rebuild their homes. He didn't keep a single treasure he had stolen from the noble camp; he sold everything and used the money to aid the victims.
Half a month later, the relief work became more organized, and it was almost time for the School of Fighting Gods to start. More and more students arrived at the port to register, and Du Chen's second brother, Charlie, also arrived in Antwerp Port on the day of registration.
In the port, ten giant ships resembling small islands were docked at the distant deep-water pier. They were all ancient European-style triangular multi-masted sailboats, and without exception, the figureheads on the bow were statues of Zig - these were the ships used by the academy to welcome new students. Only these ships could enter the waters of Fighter God Island.
On the pier, small boats shuttled back and forth, ferrying the new students. Norton was also bidding farewell to the Saint-Kain brothers at the port.
"After you enter the academy, study hard, and Uncle will send you off here. If you encounter any problems at the academy, just ask someone to deliver a message. After all, it's only a few hundred miles by sea from here to Fighter God Island."

"Thank you, Uncle, for taking care of us these past few days," Steve thanked on behalf of the three brothers.
"Alright, board the ship!" Norton waved goodbye. Before leaving, he laughed at Charlie, who had just arrived today, "Charlie, when you graduate, Uncle will be waiting to fight alongside you again. Last time at the Sea Gate, I killed several more than you did!"
"Norton Uncle, I'm also looking forward to fighting alongside you, but please don't get chased by a giant monster like last time! Hehe."
"You brat! Go on, hurry!" It was clear that Norton was closer to Charlie than the other two, and he could even make some harmless jokes.
Because they were not only uncle and nephews but also former comrades.
Charlie bid farewell to Norton and was the first to board the small boat. "Big brother, let's go too." He seemed to not notice Du Chen.
The second brother is still so arrogant! Du Chen sneered coldly in his heart. He ignored Charlie.
The small boat carried the three brothers to the giant ship at the deep-water pier. As soon as they boarded, Aliza and the other followers were taken away - their luggage would be arranged in other cabins. A middle-aged man dressed as a priest approached the three brothers and said, "New students, please show your admission notices, and I will verify your portraits."
"Okay!" Du Chen reached into his pocket, but at that moment, a tall elf beauty walked towards them on the deck. She was wearing a fiery red tight armor, and her light green long hair danced in the sea breeze, revealing her pointed ears, which looked very alluring.
"Hi, let me handle the checking and verification work for them!" The elf beauty smiled at the priest.
"Oh, esteemed Professor Mina, how can you do such work?" The priest hesitated and politely declined.
"The cabins are stuffy. I'll come out and get some fresh air. Okay, leave the work to me, and you can go check other students." She said as she pushed the priest aside. "Or do you want me to order you as a professor?"
"Wow, Professor Mina, the elf beauty!" Steve nudged Du Chen and winked. Although his voice was very low, Professor Mina heard it. She chuckled and said, "Hey handsome, do you want to flirt with me?"
Mina's bold words made even the experienced Steve a little overwhelmed. He smiled awkwardly, stuck out his tongue, and lowered his head.
But in his heart, he thought, wow, if all the teachers at the School of Fighter Gods were like this, hehe!
"The golden-haired handsome boy is your younger brother, right? He's quite handsome. If I had to choose, I'd rather have him say what he said just now!" Mina's delicate jade finger reached towards Du Chen's chin and lightly flicked it.
Damn it, are all the teachers at the School of Fighter Gods like this?!
Du Chen displeasingly dodged her touch.
"Hehe, the little guy is still shy! Alright, hand over your admission notices to me!" Mina checked the notices while leading the three brothers into the cabin. "Francis, right? Your notice has a note saying that you have no Dou qi. Tsk tsk, that's interesting! How much gold did you bribe the examiner with to get in?"
Du Chen had a bad impression of this promiscuous beauty of a teacher, and his expression became serious. "Professor Mina, the note already explains my examination process. I was just lucky."
"Well, let's say you were lucky then!" She personally stuffed the notice back into Du Chen's arms.
Thanks to the huge size of the ship, the cabin was also very spacious. When Du Chen entered, there were already many students inside, lined up and being individually tested at a crystal ball.
Mina smiled and said, "Your identities have been verified, now come with me for the enrollment check. This test will evaluate your sensitivity to natural elemental forces and assign your class and teacher based on the results."
Speaking, she stared at Du Chen's eyes and smiled seductively. "Francis, even though you have no Dou qi, you still need to be tested. There's no way around it, blame it on our old-fashioned dean!"
She didn't line up either and went straight to the front of the testing personnel, pointing at a student who was being tested and said fiercely, "Kid, I'm Professor Mina. I'm threatening you now, let us cut in line, or else your days at the academy will be miserable!"
Although the student was filled with dissatisfaction, he didn't dare to offend the professor before entering the school. He glanced at the three brothers and obediently stepped aside.
"Young handsome, please!" Mina gestured for Du Chen to come forward for the test.
What's there to test? I've already tested myself once at the St. John's Cathedral. This body can't sense the natural elemental forces at all.
Du Chen placed his hand on the crystal ball, and suddenly, he was startled. No, he had already undergone a rebirth...
