Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

Increase your soul power by one level in just a few days...

Feeling the speed at which his physical strength and soul power increased, and recalling the snail-like speed of his soul power in the past, Tuoba Wukong didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"If I had this speed earlier, even if I had to cultivate two bodies at the same time, in seven years, I would be at least close to level 25 by now. Even if I couldn't become one of the few freshmen to break through level 30, I would definitely be one of the best among the freshmen," Tuoba Wukong said with a wry smile.

The higher a Soul Master's level, the greater the difference in Soul Power between each level and the previous level. However, with the assistance of the mysterious aura, Tuoba Wukong's Soul Power increased far too quickly, to the point that it was not even at a normal speed.

"Unfortunately, due to the nature of my physical body, although I can activate the first soul skill of my martial soul while improving myself, the soul power I cultivate while activating the first martial soul belongs to the second martial soul and cannot directly compensate for the consumption of soul power."

"Although the soul power of the second martial soul can accelerate the recovery speed of the soul power of the first martial soul, the soul power of the martial soul is ultimately limited. This means that every time I cultivate for half an hour, I have to stop and find a way to restore the soul power of the first martial soul to a certain level before starting the second round of cultivation." Tuoba Wukong sighed, somewhat greedy.

In addition, Tuoba Wukong cannot spend all his time on cultivation. He has just embarked on the path of a Soul Master. Classes, training, battles, and even the study of Soul Guidance Technology will take up a lot of his time. He cannot spend all his time every day improving his Soul Power.

After experiencing his own cultivation speed, Tuoba Wukong couldn't help but feel a deep curiosity and desire to explore the first soul skill of his first martial soul. "What exactly does the door opened by my first soul skill connect to? Just opening an almost invisible crack can increase my soul power so much. What kind of improvement would it bring if it were fully opened? If I enter that world, are there other ways to make the crack in this door even bigger?"

Although his talent and potential have transformed him, Tuoba Wukong has more doubts about his two martial souls.

If these issues can be clarified, Tuoba Wukong's strength and talent will be further unleashed.

However, these problems are clearly beyond what Tuoba Wukong can solve at the moment. Tuoba Wukong is not in a hurry. There is plenty of time. Shrek Academy has the most comprehensive research system of martial soul theory in the entire continent. He can learn it in future courses or search for information in the library. One day he will be able to understand it.

Having a rare day off, Tuoba Wukong quickly immersed himself in the exhilarating feeling of his soul power progressing at an astonishing pace.

Compared to his previous slow, snail-like progress in soul power cultivation, Tuoba Wukong's current cultivation is a true pleasure. His soul power is increasing every second, and the feeling of reaping the rewards of his efforts has made him addicted to the experience, unable to stop cultivating.

Tuoba Wukong's cultivation process was only interrupted when Tu Nanbu Po finished his get out of class.

Tu Nan Bupo looked at Tuoba Wukong, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, and asked in surprise, "Tuoba Wukong, have you been cultivating all day?"

Cultivation is inherently a tedious task. The process of circulating soul power little by little to complete the cycle of breathing exercises is extremely mentally taxing, and very few soul masters can cultivate continuously for an entire day without rest.

Perhaps due to his surprise, even the usually taciturn Tu Nan Bu Po couldn't help but say, "The path of cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. Overexerting oneself is not a good thing."

As he spoke the last sentence, Tu Nan Bu Po seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of loneliness and desolation flashed in his eyes.

Tuoba Wukong didn't notice Tu Nanbupo's emotional change. He exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling the abundant soul power of his second martial soul and the empty first martial soul. His face also showed some fatigue. He replied, "Anyway, I have nothing to do. I might as well take this time to cultivate properly. By the way, nothing happened in class today, right?"

With the problem of martial spirit cultivation resolved, Tuoba Wukong felt great thinking about Tu Nan Bupo's concern for him this morning. He also considered becoming friends with Tu Nan Bupo, since this was his future roommate with whom he would spend every day.

Upon hearing Tuoba Wukong's question, Tu Nanbupo shook his head, handed over a notebook, and said, "Nothing unexpected happened. Today was all theoretical knowledge. I've written down the key points in my notes. You can take a look. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. Also, Zhou Yi has decided on our class monitor, it's that skinny-looking Huo Yuhao..."

Tuoba Wukong smiled, stood up, patted Tu Nan Bupo on the shoulder, and said, "Huo Yuhao? Speaking of Huo Yuhao, I remember he opened a grilled fish restaurant near the school gate. I heard the taste is pretty good. Tu Nan, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go. To thank you for your notes, I'll treat you to grilled fish."

Tuoba Wukong was already quite tall, standing at 1.7 meters at the age of thirteen. He had been training for many years and had a lot of muscles, making him look quite muscular. Tu Nanbupo was even taller, around 1.8 meters, with exaggeratedly muscular muscles, making him look like a tall and imposing general.

"No need, I... I've already eaten." Tu Nan Bu Po quickly shook his head, looking somewhat awkward, as he didn't have the money to invite them back.

Tuoba Wukong seemed to sense Tu Nanbupo's restraint. Although Tu Nanbupo was now wearing a school uniform, Tuoba Wukong vaguely remembered the first time he met Tu Nanbupo. Tu Nanbupo was wearing patched coarse linen clothes, which was extremely rare among the freshmen of Shrek Academy.

Moreover, Tuoba Wukong knew that meals at Shrek Academy cost money, and although they were quite plentiful and nutritious, they were also quite expensive.

Tuoba Wukong laughed and said, "Don't worry, Huo Yuhao's grilled fish is quite cheap. After all, we're in the same class, so let's just consider it helping a classmate. Besides, you don't need to save me money. I'm a Soul Master, you know. Soul Masters are all rich and powerful, they don't lack money."

"Tuoba Wukong, are you a Soul Master?" Upon hearing Tuoba Wukong's answer, Tu Nan Bupo's eyes flashed with an astonishing light, and he couldn't help but excitedly grab Tuoba Wukong's arm.

"Of course, as you know, Huo Yuhao and I are both special admissions students. Huo Yuhao got in through the Tang Sect's special admissions quota, but I don't have any connections with the Tang Sect. I was able to get in because of my status as a Soul Guidance Department special talent student. After all, before yesterday, I didn't even have a single Soul Ring." Tuoba Wukong smiled, not minding revealing his status as a Soul Guidance Department special talent student. Before, this status might have brought him some rumors, but now, he was confident and unafraid of the impact of these rumors.

"Tuoba Wukong, can you teach me about soul tools?" Upon hearing Tuoba Wukong's answer, Tu Nan Bupo's eyes shone even brighter, and he asked nervously.

"Just call me Tuoba, and I'll call you Tu Nan. Tu Nan, you're also interested in soul tools? Of course, no problem. However, soul tools are quite time-consuming, and the theoretical knowledge of soul tools is very dry and boring, requiring a lot of foundational knowledge. Can you persevere?" Tuoba Wukong asked. He didn't mind teaching one more person, but what he was going to teach was the systematic technological system from the previous world, which might be combined with the soul tool technology of this world. But with countless theoretical knowledge, it would be difficult for ordinary people to persevere.

Moreover, Tuoba Wukong could see that Tu Nanbupo was having financial difficulties. Soul Master was the most lucrative profession on the continent, and if Tu Nanbupo became a Soul Master, it would alleviate his financial problems.

"I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue, Tuoba. If you can teach me Soul Guidance Technology, you will be my great benefactor. In the future, if you ever need my help, I will never say no, even if it means death," Tu Nan Bupo said with a resolute expression.

Tuoba Wukong punched Tu Nanbupo's muscular chest and said with a smile, "There's no need to be so serious. Anyway, I also need to spend time learning and researching soul tools. Reviewing the old helps me learn the new. Teaching you is also to consolidate my own learning. Okay, can we go eat now? I haven't eaten all day and I'm starving."

"Are you hungry? Then I'll treat you!" Tu Nan Bu Po said awkwardly.

"Alright, stop being so wishy-washy. I'll treat you this time, and you can invite me back next time if you have the chance. When you really become a Soul Master, you won't lack these little treats." Tuoba Wukong nudged Tu Nanbupo and said.

Tu Nan Bu Po's burly body remained motionless. A hint of surprise flashed in Tuoba Wu Kong's eyes. Although he hadn't used his full strength in that push, it felt like he had pushed against a steel plate.

Shrek Academy is truly full of hidden talents!

Tuoba Wukong sighed, waved, and walked out of the dormitory first, saying, "Let's hurry up, or we might miss out. I've heard that Huo Yuhao's stall is incredibly popular."

Tu Nan Bu Po nodded and followed.

Leaving the dormitory area, Tuoba Wukong saw Mu En, who was half-paralyzed on a recliner. He knew that Mu En was the most powerful old man in Shrek Academy, but he did not have an excuse to talk to him. He bowed slightly and left quickly.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Mu En couldn't help but mutter to himself meaningfully, "Tuoba, Tu Nan, was it a deliberate arrangement or just an unexpected coincidence? So much time has passed, yet some people still can't let go."

Ten thousand years have passed, but some people are still unwilling to let go of the leverage they hold over the past grudges and conflicts of interest.

"However, these two kids are quite interesting. The one with the Soul of Tu Nan is a given, but is this little guy with the Martial Soul of a Door just lucky or does he have some secret? Where does that Door lead to? Could it really be that place?"

Moon shook his head, putting aside his distracting thoughts. Anyway, the two children were right under his nose; he could observe them slowly later.

After all, even if it leads to that place, with Tuoba Wukong's current strength, it would be absolutely impossible for him to completely push open that door.
