Chapter 30 Feelings During Cultivation (Please add to your favorites!!! Please continue reading!!!)

Although he felt he had a chance to learn the Soul Fusion Technique ahead of time, Su Wen was not in a hurry.

After all, the foundation of the Soul Fusion Technique is still the control of one's own soul skills.

"My talent only gives me a better grasp of my own body and makes it easier to perceive the Martial Soul Space, but it doesn't allow me to directly control Soul Skills."

At most, Su Wen's talent allows him to master his soul skills better and faster.

"Uncle Zhan, let's begin."

Although it involves repeated practice, the direction for improvement and the application techniques of the soul skills themselves are always easier to grasp with the guidance of others' experience.

The best way to master a soul skill is to use it.

At this moment, Su Wen was learning Xiao Zhan's Fire Demon Battle Technique.

"Your physique is even stronger than that of a power-attack type Soul Master of the same level, which saves you a lot of trouble."

After testing Su Wen's physical condition, Xiao Zhan was shocked for a moment, but quickly realized that there seemed to be no problem.

He's almost gotten used to it.

"Since your physique meets the requirements, you can try to practice the Flame Fist. Once you master attaching flames to your fist without harming yourself, you can continue to try compressing the flames to create more explosive flames, increasing damage, and eventually compressing the flames so that they explode when they hit the enemy."

Flame Fist, a soul skill created by Xiao Zhan.

Although its form of expression is rather ordinary, it is still a self-created soul skill with an extremely high growth potential. It is not limited by the age of the soul ring, and as the skill is gradually perfected, the power it can unleash can always keep up with the pace of a soul master's cultivation.

As for Soul Rings and Soul Skills, very few can maintain their effectiveness regardless of the Soul Master's level.

Especially the century-old soul skills.

Even percentage-based increases usually decrease with each title advancement. The truly exceptional percentage-based increase soul skills are those that maintain the same percentage increase as the soul master's level.

Of course, the so-called top-quality items are not only due to the merits of soul rings or soul skills, but also to the soul master's own cultivation and mastery of them.

The cultivation of a Soul Master is not simply about accumulating Soul Power.

"My soul skill is not the transformation of external spiritual energy into flames as Uncle Zhan said, but rather the control of spiritual energy, which I developed by leveraging my martial soul's slight affinity for the fire element to transform it into flames."

In other words, Su Wen also has a certain degree of control over the primordial energy of heaven and earth that transforms into flames.

A vibrant purple book floats silently on Su Wen's chest.

A flame suddenly rose from nowhere and gradually moved to Su Wen's right hand.

"Resist the flames."

At the same time, Su Wen was also circulating his soul power to resist the damage the flames were inflicting on his right hand.

Thanks to his exceptional perception, he learned this skill with remarkable ease.

However, even so, it still took him a full two hours to stabilize the flame on his right hand.

"All show and no substance."

It appears that Su Wen's fist is covered in flames, but in reality, the flames are merely attached to the fist and serve no other purpose.

Even the surface of the fist did not come into direct contact with the flames.

"To be effective in combat, you need to at least master the Flame Fist technique to the point where you can compress flames to create explosive damage."

Su Wen clearly still has a long way to go.

"Only when the flames merge into my hand, and even become completely integrated with my right fist, can it truly be considered a complete attachment."

This step still requires further exploration.

Two more hours passed.

Su Wen used his soul power to protect his right hand, which allowed his fist to fully contact the flames.

A morning has passed.

Instead of continuing to practice the attachment technique, Su Wen, at Xiao Zhan's suggestion, began to practice compressing flames.

His control over the flames exceeded Xiao Zhan's expectations.

"The principle behind your soul skill might differ somewhat from what Lao Bai said, as you have such strong control over fire."

It is clearly a flame formed from the external energy of heaven and earth, yet it can be easily controlled.

"Uncle Zhan, it's probably because my soul skill has integrated my spiritual power into the primordial energy of heaven and earth," Su Wen offered an excuse.

"That's true." Xiao Zhan didn't continue to delve into the principles behind Su Wen's fire element control soul skill.

As long as you can control the flames, that's a good thing.

"There are techniques to compressing flames, and the intensity of flames can also be changed through soul power."

Under Xiao Zhan's guidance, Su Wen began to cultivate the strengthening and compression of flames.

Four hours later.

"Alright, that's enough for today. You can go to the academy's library to cultivate tonight. The materials in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's library may not be as good as those in the Spirit Temple, but they are better in terms of breadth and environment."

In short, the library here provides greater benefits to the cultivation of martial arts spirit masters.

"There's such a difference?"

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "That's natural. For a Book Martial Soul, the best environment for cultivation is one that matches the characteristics of a book. The academy's library has all sorts of miscellaneous books, as well as some useless materials."

The Martial Soul Temple can't possibly store these kinds of miscellaneous books in its archives, can it? On the contrary, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has some miscellaneous books that students can use for entertainment and relaxation.

Su Wen nodded.

It turned out to be the case.

With a wider variety and greater quantity of books, the effect is better.

"By the way, Uncle Zhan, aren't I supposed to join the academy's team? When do I report for duty?" Su Wen thought of his "important business."

It can be said that Su Wen's most direct purpose in joining the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was to get close to Dugu Yan, and then get in touch with Dugu Bo, so as to obtain the immortal herb inside Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

"The Royal Team?" Xiao Zhan said, "The team's instructor, Qin Ming, has just finished training. The team members and Instructor Qin Ming are not at the academy right now and will not be back for another week. I will take you to report to Qin Ming then."

When Qin Ming was mentioned, Xiao Zhan's tone revealed his high regard for him.

"Qin Ming's talent is extraordinary. His martial soul is a mutated Fiery Wolf. He joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy five years ago. At that time, he had already broken through level 50 and obtained his fifth spirit ring, becoming a true Soul King. Unfortunately, his fifth spirit ring is only 9,000 years old."

At that time, Qin Ming was only twenty-two years old, and he had already broken through to become a formal Soul King.

Although not in the top three in the Spirit Hall's records, they are still among the very top ranks.

Even though his fifth spirit ring wasn't ten thousand years old, Qin Ming's cultivation speed was actually faster thanks to the academy's strong support. Now, five years later, with many assistance, he has reached level fifty-nine and could break through to level sixty at any time.

Once you break through and absorb your sixth soul ring, you will become a Soul Emperor.

If he can make this breakthrough within two years, he will be among the top three young Soul Emperors in the records of the Spirit Hall!

Meng Shenji once said that once Qin Ming breaks through, he will personally hunt down the most suitable ten-thousand-year soul ring for him.

"I will be responsible for guiding your cultivation of fire element control. As for soul power cultivation, you will still have to listen to Qin Ming."

Su Wen nodded, offering no further comment.

"The academy provides you with considerable training, including a special nutritious meal for dinner."
