Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

After a morning of classes, Tuoba Wukong left the classroom with a bruised and swollen face.

Du Ruoshui was truly ruthless. After one class, there wasn't a single inch of good flesh on his body. And that guy Du Ruoshui specifically targeted the places that hurt the most, making him suffer excruciating pain with every punch.

Even Tuoba Wukong, who considered himself to have an amazing will, was somewhat afraid of Du Ruoshui, his devilish teacher.

Apart from Tuoba Wukong, none of the students in the entire Class Two were in good physical condition.

While beating Tuoba Wukong, Du Ruoshui would also take the time to observe the other students. If any student was not serious enough, he would personally step in and let the student experience what hellish torture was like.

With Du Ruoshui in the lead, and in order to prevent Du Ruoshui from personally taking action, the other trainees put in extra effort when beating their opponents.

All morning, the entire Soul Fighting Zone was filled with screams of agony, like a slaughterhouse.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Du Ruoshui was conducting some kind of inhumane experiment here.

On the playground, Tuoba Wukong limped around the track, still more than a hundred laps to go.

This time, however, he was running much slower.

I only managed to run about twenty laps in one afternoon.

Teachers' office.

Du Ruoshui and Mu Jin stood by the window, watching the small figure running on the track. Mu Jin couldn't help but worry, "Teacher Du, aren't you being a little too harsh? I'm afraid the child's body won't be able to handle this."

To be honest, after only teaching Class Two for one day, Mu Jin had already come to admire this thirteen-year-old boy. Although he was a little older than all the first-year students, the amazing willpower he displayed was something even she had to admire.

With such an amazing will, even if one's talent isn't that obvious, their future achievements will definitely be remarkable.

"Don't worry, this kid isn't as fragile as you think. His body is very strange, far beyond just being born with superhuman strength. Even some Soul Masters with three rings can't compare to him in terms of physical qualities. This little setback won't hurt his bones and muscles," Du Ruoshui said casually.

Having personally beaten Tuoba Wukong, Du Ruoshui knew better than anyone just how much potential Tuoba Wukong's body had. Not only was his strength twice that of an ordinary person, but his physical resilience, recovery ability, blood production ability, and bone endurance were also twice that of an ordinary person. He could be described as superhuman.

In all her years of teaching, Du Ruoshui had never seen such a terrifying physique.

Du Ruoshui had a vague guess in her mind, but whether this guess was true or not still needed to be verified.

Regardless of anything else, Du Ruoshui was certain that this incredibly determined young man was a rough gem, a hidden gem that, with patient polishing, would surely shine brightly in the future.

Du Ruoshui has been teaching for many years and hasn't encountered such interesting students in a long time.

The afternoon is for theoretical courses.

The theoretical courses were mainly taught by Mu Jin, which introduced the addition of spirit rings and the growth potential of martial spirits.

A Soul Master's Martial Soul is not static. The weaker the Martial Soul, the more likely it is to grow and mutate when absorbing Soul Rings.

Shrek Academy recruits only the most outstanding students, whose martial souls are generally quite good. However, after absorbing a spirit ring, their martial souls will also undergo some degree of improvement and evolution.

For example, after absorbing the first spirit ring, Tuoba Wukong's spirit, Tongtianmen, underwent changes in both hardness and texture.

Previously, Tuoba Wukong's Heavenly Gate was just a phantom, but after being equipped with a soul ring, it gained a sense of substance. With the enhancement of the Heavenly Gate Soul Skill, it completely solidified into a physical entity, capable of withstanding attacks from soul masters...

Martial Soul is a complex discipline, and Martial Soul theory is in no way inferior to Soul Guidance theory.

The martial souls in Douluo Continent are incredibly diverse. Even for the same type of martial soul, some ancient sects that have studied it for thousands of years dare not claim to have fully understood it.

Shrek Academy certainly cannot allow every student to thoroughly research all martial souls, but they must have a sufficient understanding of the development and cultivation of their own martial soul. This is why half of the courses in the first year are related to theory.

Compared to the grueling practical courses that made all the members of Class Two suffer, the afternoon theoretical courses were a lifesaver for the students. To avoid being punished by having to attend practical courses, even the usually boring theoretical courses were listened to with exceptional attention, and not a single student was distracted.

Seeing this, Mu Jin couldn't help but nod slightly. In all her years of teaching, she had never encountered such an obedient student. In the past, during theoretical courses, many of the most promising students didn't take it seriously. Let alone listening to the lecture, it was a good thing if they didn't disrupt the class.

She had never taught so smoothly before.

The students in Class Two displayed a spirit and energy that suggested they weren't cold, unresponsive machines.

Mu Jin couldn't help but admire Du Ruoshui in her heart. Du Ruoshui truly deserved to be a qualified quasi-special-grade teacher who was qualified to teach in the inner academy. Her teaching methods were simply outstanding.

After the new student assessment, the students' lives returned to normal.

After Tuoba Wukong finished running three hundred laps, it was already seven or eight o'clock at night. Then he went to the library to look for books on Soul Guidance theory and began studying the Soul Guidance system.

The location for the soul guidance study group of Tuoba Wukong, Song Qinghan, and Tu Nan Bupo was changed to the library.

Fortunately, the library was large and not many people came to read. Most of them were theoretical professors who came to look up information, so no one would disturb Tuoba Wukong and his group when they discussed soul tools.

Tuoba Wukong spends two or three hours studying and discussing every day, and usually doesn't get back to the dormitory until around 11 o'clock. He has to get up at 5 o'clock the next day to meditate and cultivate. Tuoba Wukong feels that he doesn't have enough time at all.

However, in this fulfilling environment, Tuoba Wukong made considerable progress.

With the blessing of twin martial souls and the Heavenly Gate, Tuoba Wukong's talent is far greater than it was three months ago, and his cultivation progress is advancing by leaps and bounds every day.

Tuoba Wukong broke through the level 19 bottleneck that had held most students back for a long time in just two months, and both of his bodies entered the ranks of level 20 Great Soul Masters. He only needs to absorb one more Soul Ring to officially become a two-ring Great Soul Master.

However, Tuoba Wukong was not in a hurry to go to the academy to ask for the soul beast needed to exchange for the second soul ring.

On the one hand, Tuoba Wukong simply doesn't have the time to hunt soul beasts right now.

On the other hand, Tuoba Wukong also had his own ambitions and concerns.

First of all, he only absorbed his first soul ring five months ago. In just five months, his soul power has increased from level eleven to level twenty. Even with the cover of the first soul ring in a thousand years, this speed is too fast. Combined with his previous cultivation speed, it is even more likely to arouse suspicion!

Secondly, during these two months, Tuoba Wukong endured beatings from Du Ruoshui every day, as well as almost daily additional punishments. Coupled with the medicinal diets he received as a core disciple, which were comparable to rare and precious herbs, his physical condition improved by leaps and bounds almost every day.

With his two bodies combined, Tuoba Wukong felt that he could even try to absorb a soul ring that was about three thousand years old.

Since soul power can still be accumulated and cultivated after reaching level 20, Tuoba Wukong was not in a hurry to absorb the next soul ring.

Originally, he planned to cultivate his first martial soul to its limit before absorbing the soul ring of his second martial soul, but now he has changed his mind.

His second martial soul, his original martial soul, can significantly improve his physique with each additional spirit ring. The improved physique allows him to withstand spirit rings with longer lifespans.

Therefore, Tuoba Wukong decided to cultivate both martial spirits together.

He plans to increase his physical endurance to over 5,000, then directly add a 5,000-year-old spirit ring to his second spirit, and then try adding a 10,000-year spirit ring to the second spirit ring of his second spirit.

According to Tuoba Wukong's calculations, if he simply cultivated the Tongtianmen Martial Soul step by step, he would have to wait until the Tongtianmen added a fourth Martial Soul before he could even attempt to absorb a ten-thousand-year Martial Soul Ring.

However, if he cultivates both martial souls at the same time, he can try to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring when he gets his second soul ring.

The time for absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring was at least several years earlier.

The power of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring is far beyond that of a thousand-year spirit ring. In other words, Tuoba Wukong can enjoy the powerful strength boost brought by the ten-thousand-year spirit ring ahead of time, giving him more strength to strive for greater opportunities and chances.

Furthermore, cultivating two martial souls simultaneously will not affect Tuoba Wukong's future.

After all, cultivating two martial souls at the same time will only allow Tuoba Wukong's physique to reach the point where he can absorb a 100,000-year soul ring faster. If this continues, Tuoba Wukong may be able to try to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring when he has his sixth or even fifth soul ring, provided that he can hunt down a 100,000-year soul ring.

In this situation, the number of 100,000-year spirit rings he can absorb in the future may not be less than the number of spirit rings he can add to his second spirit after his first spirit reaches nine rings.

They can also enjoy the powerful strength brought by twin martial souls in advance, seize more opportunities, and face more dangerous challenges.

At the same time, cultivating two martial souls together can also prevent the imbalance caused by one martial soul becoming too powerful.

While having two martial souls is powerful, it also has a fatal flaw: if the two martial souls cannot be kept in balance, it is easy to explode and die during the cultivation process.

Historically, many owners of twin martial souls have suppressed the growth of their second martial soul in order to prevent it from becoming too powerful.

After all, the difference between a martial soul nurtured from childhood and gradually having spirit rings added, and a martial soul directly having nine spirit rings added from the highest level, is absolutely enormous, greatly increasing the risk of the martial soul becoming unbalanced.
