Douluo Continent: Heaven rewards diligence, Tang San's defenses are breached by liver damage.

However, Lin Chuan moved his feet lightly, and although the movement was not large, he accurately dodged the attack. As their bodies passed each other, he slowly raised his right hand.

"General."

A hand chop struck Shui Yue'er on the back of the neck. The girl's eyes rolled back, and she couldn't even maintain her martial spirit. She fell to the ground, but Lin Chuan caught her.

Young people just need to sleep a lot; they can fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow.

With one arm around Shuiyue'er's slender waist, Lin Chuan looked up at Haitang.

"Teacher Haitang, I think I passed, right?"

"Huh?!" Haitang was still in a daze and nodded subconsciously, but she quickly came to her senses and stared at him deeply, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise. "Although it's a bit unbelievable, you really did win. Welcome to the Tianshui team."

"No, it's over already. He didn't even use any soul skills. Yue'er's soul power is clearly higher than his."

The female trainees' mouths gaped slightly, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

You call this a Great Soul Master?

Which Great Soul Master can end a battle with a single strike without using Martial Soul or Soul Skills, even when their Soul Power level is lower than another Great Soul Master's?

But the facts are undeniable, leaving them no choice but to believe them.

"Amazing!"

Xue Wu looked surprised, her red lips slightly parted, and she softly uttered a word of praise.

"Indeed, she's amazing. She truly deserves to be called a monster who successfully absorbed a thousand-year soul ring at level 20!" Shui Bing'er, standing beside her, nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of fighting spirit.

I'm so excited and looking forward to having such a talented person as my teammate!

"Alright, from now on Lin Chuan will be a member of our Tianshui team. Let's get to know each other and get along well in the future."

Haitang clapped her hands, and the female students instantly surrounded her.

"Hello, junior Lin, my name is Yu Hairou, you were amazing just now!"

"That's right, junior. Let's get acquainted. My name is Qiu Ruoshui, you can call me Senior Sister Ruoshui. I'm also a Great Soul Master, but I'm not much stronger than Yue'er, so I'm definitely no match for you."

"..."

Lin Chuan was instantly surrounded by a group of beautiful young girls.

They were as unconvinced as they were before, but the incessant chatter was really giving me a headache.

Helpless, Lin Chuan could only force a smile and deal with them one by one.

But to be honest, this feeling might not be so bad.

In the distance, two figures were silently watching the arena. Seeing that the other members of the Tianshui team quickly accepted Lin Chuan's joining, Shui Lanxin showed a satisfied smile and turned her head to look at the blue-haired beauty beside her.

"So, Director Leng, can you rest assured now?"

"This is just the tip of the iceberg. This little guy's true strength is far beyond what you imagine."

"Humph!"

Leng Man subconsciously snorted softly, but did not refute it.

Even though it was just a friendly spar, Leng Man was still a Soul Saint with rich combat experience. In that brief exchange, what Lin Chuan showed was enough to surprise everyone.

There really are geniuses in this world who not only have exaggerated spirit ring configurations but also rich combat experience.

Therefore, it seems that this precedent cannot be broken.

"I've accepted his admission for now, but that doesn't mean I can rest easy. Time will tell. I'll keep an eye on him, and if he does anything shameful in the future, I won't hold back."

"Alright, let's wait and see!"

Shui Lanxin watched Leng Man leave, her red lips curving slightly into a charming smile.

As a longtime friend, she naturally knew that Leng Man was just being stubborn. In reality, Leng Man had already accepted Lin Chuan as a student, but was just too embarrassed to admit it.

It's okay, although there were some setbacks along the way, the result was good.

Shui Lanxin remained where she was, gazing at the figures in the distance that exuded youthful energy, a faint expectation in her eyes.

Chapter 38 Refining the Spirit Martial Soul, a Frenzied Enhancement

Time passes day by day.

Lin Chuan gradually became familiar with life at Tianshui College.

The simulated training environment was indeed very good. It not only had an area to improve soul power, but also an area to train physical strength and movement techniques, which was just right for Lin Chuan to use. However, the only thing that he couldn't accept was that the advanced soul master department even had art classes.

That is... dancing!

Upon hearing this news, Lin Chuan almost lost his composure. Everyone here is a Soul Master and attends a Soul Master Academy, not an art school. Why do they still need to learn dance?

Even more deadly is that it's a girl group dance.

Lin Chuan couldn't dance to begin with, so making him learn this would be worse than killing him.

But thinking about it carefully, the Tianshui Academy team does indeed perform a dance every time they appear, which is probably a local specialty!

After much persuasion, Teacher Haitang finally let Lin Chuan off the hook. Although he didn't have to dance, he was eventually asked to learn the zither instead. This wasn't unacceptable, since with the blessing of "heaven rewards diligence," learning would be quite easy.

Fortunately, there are only two art classes per week, which does not take up too much of the students' practice time. It is a good balance between work and rest, allowing them to relax their tense minds and bodies while they are working hard.

In addition, Lin Chuan did not forget his own plan.

He made the rest of the team act as his tools.

As their relationship with the other members became increasingly harmonious, the girls, led by Shuiyue'er, readily accepted when Lin Chuan made the request.

Thus, Lin Chuan was able to begin honing his Observation Haki and movement techniques.

From initially facing one person, then two, and finally being surrounded by five people at the same time.

Lin Chuan never fought back, but simply dodged with his eyes covered or raised his hands to block, until he exhausted his opponent before he stopped.

The girls' initial curiosity turned into shock, and then into pain.

Despite using all their strength, they could barely touch her most of the time. Even when they occasionally managed to get a chance, they were easily countered. It was incredibly disheartening, and Shuiyue and the others almost fell into a state of complete depression.

However, when Teacher Haitang discovered this situation, she was extremely surprised, but even more excited. The members of the Tianshui team had an extra training session every day.

That is to collectively besiege Lin Chuan until they are exhausted and their soul power is depleted.

Regardless of how others wailed, Lin Chuan was enjoying himself.

At first, with the addition of Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, one a control-type Soul Master and the other a support-type Soul Master, their cooperation was quite tacit. Coupled with their Mental Lock Soul Skill, they did cause Lin Chuan a lot of trouble. However, as they gradually became more familiar with each other, the obstacles became smaller and smaller.

After six months of training, both his movement techniques and his Observation Haki have improved significantly.

Lin Chuan was already able to face the combined attack of seven people at the same time and dodge with ease. Even if he was occasionally frozen, they still couldn't hurt him in the slightest.

Sure enough, the difference in the speed of progress between having a sparring partner and not having one is like night and day.

It has to be within the academy; otherwise, where else could you find such a high-quality tool?

After another day of cultivation, Lin Chuan returned to the wooden house, washed himself briefly, and then sat on the edge of the bed and let out a long sigh.

"I'm so tired!"

The arduous training day after day was indeed quite tough, but Lin Chuan found joy in it.

At least this kind of life is quite fulfilling, and I can witness my own growth every moment, which is something to be happy about.

Subconsciously sensing that Shui Lanxin was not next door, or rather, she rarely lived here. After all, she was the dean of Tianshui Academy and naturally had many things to do. In addition, she would occasionally return to the Shui family. She was a very busy person, and it was difficult to see her.

However, this was exactly what Lin Chuan wanted.

After resting for a while, as the fatigue from training subsided, Lin Chuan slowly came back to his senses.

"Well, now... we need to think about this carefully!"

Lin Chuan flipped his right hand, activated his soul power, and a black short bow appeared in his palm.

With a flick of his finger, a dazzling light appeared, and the Azure Patterned Cauldron suddenly materialized from between his brows, returning to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye, and restoring itself steadily to the ground.

"Should we refine our martial soul?"

Looking at the martial spirit in his hand, Lin Chuan was immediately at a loss, something he had already considered.

Spirit Refining is a technique for improving the quality of items. Whether it's pills, incense, or other items, they can all be refined. Therefore, weapon spirits are naturally included in this category.

However, the success rate of spirit refining is limited; if it fails, the refined item will collapse and shatter.

Even though Lin Chuan had refined arrows and ordinary rice countless times over the years without ever failing, theoretically the success rate was 100%. But since it concerned his martial soul, success was fine, but failure would be the end of everything.

A shattered martial spirit can result in severe injury at best, and in severe cases, the inability to continue cultivation or even death. The consequences are extremely serious, which is why Lin Chuan has never dared to gamble.

"When have I ever been so hesitant? So far, I've had a 100% success rate, so there seems to be no need to be afraid."

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, his gaze gradually hardening.

Gather some firewood from the forest and place it under the Azure Pattern Cauldron. Then place the Martial Soul on top of the Azure Pattern Cauldron and light the firewood.

In an instant, the patterns on the azure-patterned cauldron began to shine brightly, their silver light dazzling.
