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

Chapter 4: The Lingering Ghost (Please add to your favorites! Please continue reading!)

Having learned the meditation method, Su Yu stayed in the courtyard, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Su Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed. He manipulated his soul power to circulate within his body, spreading it as widely as possible. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was gathered by his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, which then absorbed and refined it into his own soul power.

Soul power circulates within the body, tempering it.

boom!

A booming sound came from within his body, as if a barrier had been broken. Su Yu cultivated for another half an hour before slowly opening his eyes.

"I reached level four in just one month."

When he awakened, his soul power was around level three and a half.

"If you calculate it that way, one level every two months is a bit slow."

It may seem like there's a level every two months, but this is based on level three.

As soul power increases, the amount of soul power required for each advancement is astonishing. Although the speed of absorbing primordial energy and refining soul power also increases, the overall difficulty of leveling up has increased.

It could even be said that it's a significant improvement!

If you advance one level every two months now, you might only advance four or five levels in a year.

"It seems we still need to find a way to increase our cultivation speed."

Outside Su Yu's residence, there were several vendors who set up their stalls in this area despite having no business.

His gaze would occasionally drift towards Su Yu's residence.

"Is this kid dead?"

"It's been a month, and I haven't gone out at all."

These people have been waiting here for a long time.

However, they didn't even see a hair on Su Yu's head.

If they hadn't asked him every time someone brought food or water in, they would have thought the kid had already slipped away without them noticing.

"Damn, this kid who throws out a gold soul coin right off the bat, he must have more money on him!"

"Is that even a question? He hires a maid to bring him meals every day; he must be rich!"

"That's right, I've seen it several times. The food wasn't exactly gourmet, but it smelled delicious."

As they talked, the vendors themselves started drooling.

"Don't worry, his lease is up, he'll definitely be out in the next couple of days."

"Has the lease expired?"

The soul-guided device inside the room issued a notification, and Su Yu finally came to his senses, realizing that he had unknowingly cultivated for a month.

"Perfect timing, it's time to change my residence and try mimicry cultivation."

Mimicry cultivation involves simulating and adapting to the environment of one's martial soul. When the surrounding environment is compatible with the martial soul, the martial soul's speed in drawing in and absorbing the energy of heaven and earth far exceeds that of ordinary martial souls.

Under normal circumstances, mimicry cultivation can accelerate the cultivation speed by 50% to 3 times.

Of course, three times is an ideal and perfect simulated training environment.

Su Yu now wants to rely on mimicry cultivation to increase his cultivation speed, and he would be satisfied if he could speed it up by 50%.

"Go and see if there's a house with a large yard that's been in disrepair for a long time and where the blue silver grass is growing vigorously."

If not, then meeting the first condition is sufficient. A larger yard provides an environment where you can cultivate Blue Silver Grass yourself. Blue Silver Grass is the most common grass in the Douluo Continent, possessing remarkable vitality and capable of surviving in almost any environment.

Another advantage is that it grows quickly.

Using his martial soul to induce the Blue Silver Grass to grow faster and create an environment for the Blue Silver Grass was not a difficult task for Su Yu.

Su Yu put all his clothes into his storage ring, then went out to look at houses.

As soon as he stepped outside, he sensed something was wrong.

"It's haunting me!"

Su Yu had actually noticed these people on the first day. Even the schoolteacher, who had earned one gold soul coin from Su Yu in three days, kindly reminded Su Yu of them.

Therefore, Su Yu always knew that he was being watched.

To reduce trouble and to focus more intently on his cultivation, he stayed home for a month, with food and drink delivered to him by others.

As it turned out, this group of people were still squatting outside!

Su Yu's eyes were filled with coldness.

So you've got your eye on me, huh? Well, let's see who the prey is then.

This past month, I've spent two gold soul coins. I have eight gold soul coins left, and based on this month's spending, it'll be difficult to even support my cultivation to level ten, let alone hunt soul beasts.

"I've been cultivating for exactly one month, and my body feels like it's rusted."

Su Yu also planned to stretch his muscles and bones. This month of training was mainly for experience, and also a check to confirm that there was no disconnect between his body and martial spirit.

Su Yu didn't rush to make a move; he also needed to ascertain the level of the entity behind the other party.

First, go find a place to live.

With a silver soul coin in his hand, Qian Tong smiled and thought the little guy was quite clever.

"You mean those few? They have real Soul Masters backing them up."

But he was just a Soul Master who got lucky and absorbed a ten-year Soul Ring.

His strength is practically at the floor level among Soul Masters, but he can still bully ordinary people without any problem.

Don't worry, we're a legitimate organization with powerful backers. As long as you stay home, they won't dare to take any forceful action.

Qian Tong also heard that Su Yu hadn't left the house even once in a month, and according to the person who delivered his meals, he had been cultivating.

"Alas, what a pity. Such talent and such diligent cultivation, yet it's just a level three innate Blue Silver Grass martial soul."

However, the fact that the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can awaken level three soul power means that, to some extent, this kid can be considered exceptionally talented.

Qian Tong merely remarked on Su Yu's talent without paying much attention; in his eyes, money made things easy.

"By the way, I'd like to find a new house with a large yard. If it meets the requirements, I'm open to renting it for a year."

Qian Tong had no objection to Su Yu's request, but he was speechless when he heard the conditions Su Yu mentioned.

Is this kid going to stay home for a year?

Cultivating alone would be tedious and boring, so you need to find a large yard where you can move around.

That was the first thing Qian Tong thought of.

However, this is indeed a good idea. A six-year-old child should just stay put and behave himself.

"The house you're looking for is in the suburbs. It's quite large, with a yard of 100 square meters, but the rent is relatively expensive."

However, considering you have an annual subscription, I can offer a discount; it'll be eight gold soul coins.

Su Yu's previous residence earned him five silver soul coins a month, and only six gold soul coins a year.

This one saw a direct increase of one-third, and it's located in the suburbs, where property prices should naturally be lower.

This is the price after the discount.

Although I don't know how this discount works.

Su Yu frowned. Eight gold soul coins—that was all he had left. Wait, he'd just given Qian Tong a silver soul coin; now he didn't even have eight gold soul coins left.

"Can you make it cheaper?"
