Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 154 Popularity

According to Su Yu, everything was a good deal.

But what ultimately made Xuan Ziwen make up his mind was his soul guidance level.

Xuan Ziwen felt very sad that he had to stop researching the system of battle armor when he reached the super battle armor level. However, he could not keep up with the pace. He was not even at the level he was capable of, so how could he research higher-level battle armor?

Ten years of arduous training, along with using leisure time to refine one's soul guidance techniques, were also crucial.

Of course, we certainly won't do absolutely no research during these ten years.

For a research fanatic like Xuan Ziwen, it's simply impossible for him to go ten years without doing research.

However, he can conduct research that is meaningful for cultivation.

For example, the development of the bone pattern system, the development of the qi and blood system, and the development of cultivation techniques are all lacking a leading figure to guide the further development of these techniques.

Su Yu serves as the director of the General Kung Fu Research Institute, but he doesn't actually dedicate much of his time to his work.

The current latest version of the universal cultivation method naturally relies on Su Yu's construction, but he only works for a few days a year. Even if he is efficient, it still greatly delays the progress of updating the universal cultivation method.

In particular, these things don't actually benefit Su Yu much.

He was mostly using his position at the research institute to benefit his own cultivation.

Xuan Ziwen is different; if he were to research cultivation techniques, the development of universal cultivation techniques would be greatly accelerated.

Xuan Ziwen ultimately chose Su Yu's plan.

To calm oneself down.

Ten years is too long, five years will do.

Xuan Ziwen was confident that after becoming a Title Douluo, even if he had to persist in cultivation every day, he could spend the rest of his time studying soul tools and five years would be enough to thoroughly understand the theory of level nine soul tools.

Once you've thoroughly grasped the theory, leveraging your abilities five years from now, putting it into practice and actually creating what you want will be no problem at all.

After fixing Xuan Ziwen's CPU, Su Yu prepared to go talk to his teacher about it.

Kong Deming had previously praised Xuan Ziwen's research abilities, but it was a pity that his soul power cultivation had fallen behind due to long-term drug use, which hindered his research on soul tools.

Now that Su Yu has made a request, Kong Deming will still help Xuan Ziwen hunt down the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant.

After all, he had indeed served as Xuan Ziwen's teacher. However, unlike Su Yu, he and Xuan Ziwen were teacher and student, not master and apprentice like Su Yu.

And most importantly, Kong Deming is different now than he was before.

Hunting down the 100,000-year-old Evil-Eyed Tyrant?

Relax and easy.

Previously, they had to make preparations to prevent the sudden appearance of the Evil Emperor, but now Kong Deming is not afraid at all.

They were even confident that they could escape while protecting Xuan Ziwen.

This is the confidence that comes with increased strength.

This was also the reason why Su Yu chose to plan for his teacher's rapid improvement, because the benefits brought by the teacher's strength would gradually become apparent later on.

Passing by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Su Yu stopped by to visit his little apprentice.

"Hehe, I heard that the Martial Soul Department might get one more spot for a top-tier core disciple."

"What? Martial Soul system cultivators can also enjoy the treatment of top-tier core disciples?"

"."

Upon entering the academy, Su Yu overheard a discussion about treatment and benefits.

"The sect leader is quite quick."

This already begins to guide public opinion.

Although Bai Feng had already received this treatment, the news had already spread throughout the academy before the start of the semester. It could only be Jing Hongchen's doing.

It's summer vacation now, but there are still quite a few students on campus.

Except for those who live too far away and need to go back to visit, the rest of the students will occasionally come to the college.

Many students even choose to continue living on campus and only go out when they need to run errands.

After all, the facilities in the academy are so complete, and it's even easier to buy or exchange rare metals there.

Although they don't have the same level of access to exchange rare metals as Mingde Hall, how many students in the academy actually have access to such high-grade rare metals?

Those that were actually useful have already been put into Mingdetang.

"Little Wind".

When Su Yu found Bai Feng, he was studying with several senior students.

Within the academy, if a student wants to create a soul tool, they can choose whether to make it public so that other students who want to learn from it can watch it.

Of course, there will definitely be compensation.

Bai Feng had just watched a third-year senior create three level-one soul tools in a row.

Hearing the familiar voice, he turned around and saw his teacher.

"teacher."

Although Su Yu had already reached adulthood and was 1.85 meters tall, and the last trace of childishness on his face was almost gone, his youthful appearance was still eye-catching.

The fact that students in the college address Su Yu as "Teacher" is particularly surprising.

Such a young teacher?

When did the college admit them?

Some people recognized Su Yu and quietly began to explain the facts.

"Hello, Senior Su Yu, I'm your fan, could you please sign my autograph?"

"Ahhh, it's Senior Su Yu."

"."

Su Yu looked embarrassed.

He has always been very low-key and rarely appeared in public at the academy before, so he didn't know that he had so many fans.

That makes sense, considering they swept seven opponents in the Soul Fighting Tournament, and their opponents were still the seeded team, the Soul Fighting Spirit Team, who were expected to advance to the semifinals.

What the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy admired most was Su Yu's individual victory over Shrek Academy in the finals.

Although Shrek voluntarily conceded defeat and failed to achieve another seven-game winning streak, that was still Shrek.

For the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Su Yu's battle was a true moment of triumph.

As a result, Su Yu has a considerable reputation within the academy.

Of course, Su Yu is elusive, and none of these fans have actually seen him.

They were all incredibly excited to see Su Yu now.

During his time at the academy, Bai Feng learned about his teacher's achievements and was deeply moved.

At the age of thirteen, he already possessed the ability to defeat Soul Kings in succession.

Now, five years later, what level of status does the teacher hold?

Even when hunting the Heavenly Star Sword Scale Dragon, which had been around for nearly five hundred years, the teacher completely overwhelmed it without even revealing his spirit rings.

"Oh, you're Su Yu's student? Does Su Yu teach at the school?"

"You idiot, Senior Su Yu is only in fifth grade, he hasn't graduated yet."

"So this little brother is Senior Su Yu's apprentice?"

"Good heavens, my seniors are already taking on apprentices, while I'm still miserably learning level four soul tools."

"Come on, don't get it wrong. We call you 'senior,' you should call me 'senior junior.'"

"That really hurts, bro."

"."

Su Yu finally managed to shake off the group of fans and brought Bai Feng to his studio.

"Learning about soul tools does require a combination of theory and practice for better understanding; that was my mistake."

Su Yu initially focused on studying books, thoroughly understanding the theory before attempting to create a level-one soul tool, and succeeded on his first try.

But this is not replicable.

Or rather, if you want the best value for money, you definitely can't do it this way.

Su Yu was simply inconvenienced at the time.

Watching the creation of soul tools is not cheap. It takes half a day to watch and costs nearly a hundred gold soul coins. At the time, Su Yu felt that it was not cost-effective.

It's just a level one soul tool.

But Bai Feng is different.

Bai Feng is very smart, but his talent lies more in martial soul cultivation. He may be able to learn about soul tools relatively easily, but he is definitely not at the level of a prodigy. In fact, calling him a genius is partly due to his strength as a soul master.

When a Soul Master is strong enough, learning anything becomes easier.

For example, Xian Lin'er, the former dean of the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy, after becoming a Title Douluo, could still reach the level of a sixth-level Soul Guidance Master even without dedicated research or talent.

"I'll be leaving Mingdu for a while. Here's a thousand gold soul coins, which should last you a month. I'll check on your learning progress when I get back."

"."

After giving some instructions, Su Yu demonstrated the making of a level-one soul tool to Bai Feng on the spot.

His skill in crafting soul tools allowed him to easily create first-class soul tools.

He could even stretch out the time between each step as much as possible, taking the time to explain things to his apprentice.

After the explanation, Su Yu was able to "rescue" the production process and continue making the product according to the steps.

After going through it once, Bai Feng felt that he had a complete grasp of the process and precautions for making soul tools.

While I wouldn't say he'll definitely become a Level 1 Soul Master within a month, he'll certainly be fine before the freshman assessment.

"Teacher, I feel like my training on the Star Shield isn't going smoothly."

Bai Feng has a high talent for Soul Master cultivation.

Su Yu could roughly judge his cultivation progress based on some of the questions he raised.

"Yes, I have many more Starlight Shield Soul Martial Skills here. They are all simplified versions of rune Soul Skills. You can try to cultivate them."

As for any slight disruptions, those are normal, since the system was originally designed to facilitate the learning of rune skills by integrating them into the human meridian system.

"Xiao Feng, you need to learn Star Shield and these Soul Martial Skills as soon as possible. Once you master the true release speed of Soul Skills, you will have truly mastered them. At that time, I will pass on the Rune Soul Skills to you. Gradually improve these Soul Martial Skills, and their effects will gradually rival those of Soul Ring Soul Skills."

"Your martial soul is excellent, imbued with the intent to slay demons, and you yourself are well-suited to this intent. Pay attention to comprehending it during cultivation; it will aid in your spiritual power cultivation. Spiritual power is key to cultivating rune soul skills."

Continuous practice to accelerate the release of Soul Martial Skills not only familiarizes Bai Feng with the operating route, making it easier to perform them better in the form of void inscription in the future, but also helps to temper his mental strength.

Su Yu has a wealth of cultivation experience.

In teaching Bai Feng, I tried not to use lofty terms or spout profound theories, but simply told him what to do now, the general principles, and the significance of it.

This instruction lasted for three hours.

As Su Yu emerged from the workshop, he noticed two similar-looking boys waiting for him outside.

"Senior Su Yu."

"Um, what can I do for you?"

Of the two similar-looking boys, the older one spoke up to explain their purpose.

"Senior, I'm Xiao Ping. I'm from the next year after you. I was lucky enough to be selected for the Soul Fighting Tournament team in six months. The dean said I could ask you for some advice."

Xiao Ping is tall and strong, a Soul King, a Level 5 Soul Master, and he specializes in close-combat Soul Tools and has done research on Soul Tool armor.

As Su Yu's battle armor system gradually becomes more complete, his research direction naturally aligns perfectly with battle armor.

Given his strength, he was selected as a participant in this Soul Fighting Tournament.

When Jing Hongchen mentioned seeking advice from Su Yu, she was naturally referring to the battle armor.

In addition to the researchers within Mingde Hall, the technology of basic battle armor has begun to be made available to the participating team members, and may gradually be extended to the courses of the Royal Soul Master Academy in the future.

Unfortunately, Su Yu hadn't appeared at the academy for two or three years. He had been traveling for so long, how could Xiao Ping possibly find him?

Upon hearing that Su Yu had appeared at the academy, he immediately brought his two younger brothers here to wait.

"This is my younger brother, Xiao Fan."

After briefly introducing himself and his younger brother, and explaining the purpose of their visit, Xiao Ping bowed.

"Senior, I have many questions about the Battle Armor system. I wonder if you have time?"

Su Yu did not refuse when he heard that he would be a future team member.

"What do you think is the most important thing about battle armor?" Su Yu asked.

"A complete core magic array provides comprehensive enhancement and strengthening to Soul Masters."

"No, the most crucial point lies in the fusion with the Soul Master."

Seeing that Xiao Ping was genuinely interested in the battle armor, Su Yu gave him a brief explanation.

"Fusion with a Soul Master?"

Xiao Ping is a melee Soul Master, so he has a very high level of recognition for Battle Armor. However, he is still a Soul Master and has overlooked the true meaning of Battle Armor.

"That's right, Battle Armor is the perfect combination of Soul Master and Soul Guide abilities. The core of Battle Armor is the fusion of Soul Guidance Device and Martial Soul, which greatly enhances the Soul Master's various abilities."

"."

Xiao Ping seemed to be deep in thought.

Su Yu looked at Xiao Fan, who was standing next to Xiao Ping.

"Your name is Xiao Fan?"

"Yes, I am already fourteen years old, and my soul power is at level thirty-seven, making me a level three soul master!"

Xiao Fan was very proud of his achievements, but he was very humble in front of Su Yu.

"Senior, I would like to learn martial spirit cultivation from you."

Unlike Xiao Ping, Xiao Fan was not particularly talented in soul tools, or rather, his interest was more focused on soul master cultivation.

Although his level 37 soul power was increased through taking pills and daily medicinal baths, it was all carefully refined by him.

Su Yu could also sense that Xiao Fan's soul power was very profound, making him unique in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Even so, Xiao Fan's talent is indeed remarkable, as he has achieved the rank of a third-level Soul Master.

but

As for apprentices, Su Yu really didn't want to take on too many.

It takes too much energy.

"If you want to learn the techniques of martial spirit cultivation, I can teach you, but I won't take you on as a disciple."

Xiao Fan's gaze dimmed considerably as he looked at Bai Feng behind Su Yu with envy.

"The most important thing in martial soul cultivation is mastering and developing your own soul skills. These are some of my experiences and insights, which should be helpful to you."

Fourteen years old, which means this year's team is the reserve team.

Passionate about Soul Master cultivation.

Five years from now, they may become the leading talents in the college.

Taking all these factors into account, Su Yu decided to help him out.
