"Brother Yu, I..."
Overwhelmed with emotions, Dai Luoli was momentarily speechless.
Xu Zihuang stepped forward and patted Dai Luoli's shoulder affectionately, chuckling softly.
"Let's go, I'll take you to your lodgings. Remember to continue cultivating after you get back, and completely refine the effects of that Xuanwu Divine Pill. Your and my martial soul abilities are similar. If you're willing, come to the training ground for the next period of time, and I'll teach you a combat technique that suits you."
“Of course I’m willing, Brother Yu!” Dai Luoli replied impatiently, and after a moment of silence, asked the question that concerned him most.
"Brother Yu, why are you so good to me?"
“I think we get along quite well.” Xu Zihuang gave Dai Luoli a meaningful look before turning and leaving.
"Let's go."
Dai Luoli followed silently behind Xu Zihuang. After a brief moment of surprise, his expression became extremely firm.
He knew that Yu Tianhuang was doing this without expecting anything in return, but he would repay this kindness someday.
Xu Zihuang escorted Dai Luoli to the accommodation area on the south side of Seagod Island, which was used to receive foreign guests. Dai Luoli had essentially entered Shrek Academy's inner court through Dai Hao's connections, and was not considered a true inner court disciple, so he could only stay here.
He himself came to the lakeside on the south side of Poseidon Island alone.
Under the moonlight, Ning Tian was already waiting by the lake. Her light blue long dress swayed in the wind, revealing a section of fair and smooth legs, giving her an ethereal and elegant beauty.
Xu Zihuang then used both hands to support Ning Tian's buttocks and lifted him up from the front.
Ning Tian smiled broadly and put his arm around Xu Zihuang's neck.
"You're so concerned about Luo Li's affairs, is it because he idolizes you?"
"That's part of the reason," Xu Zihuang said frankly, nodding slightly.
His willingness to invest time and effort in Dai Luoli is inextricably linked to this reason. Only someone like Dai Luoli can be useful to him in the future.
Enveloped in mist, the two figures disappeared into the distance.
Xu Zihuang then enjoyed a few more days of leisure. He spent his mornings teaching Dai Luoli combat skills at the training ground, and the rest of his time with Ning Tian.
Relying on the innate ability of his martial soul, Dai Luoli finally managed to initially fuse his spiritual power and soul power after three days and unleash that combat technique.
Today's drill site still only had Xu Zihuang and Dai Luoli present.
The clouds and mist drifted by. Dai Luoli took a step forward with his left foot, and a blood-red light silently appeared behind him, then merged with his body. That blood-red light was none other than the image of his martial soul, the Blood Tiger.
His right fist was thrown out lightly, gathering a blood-red light that illuminated a large area of space.
Dai Luoli used a method that combined mental and soul power, which is considered the most basic element of the "King of the World" combat technique.
Many powerful Soul Masters can actually achieve this by simply combining spiritual power and soul power.
Dai Luoli's Blood Tiger also possessed this innate ability, so Xu Zihuang readily taught it to Dai Luoli.
"Not bad. It combines the characteristics of your own martial soul, which can be considered as laying a foundation. How far you can go in the future depends on yourself." Xu Zihuang stepped forward and praised.
After receiving Yu Tianhuang's praise, Dai Luoli turned around somewhat embarrassed.
"Brother Yu, does this combat technique have a name?"
Xu Zihuang smiled slightly.
"I only taught you the correct way to use your mental and soul power. This combat technique combines the characteristics of your Blood Tiger Martial Soul, so it's a combat technique that belongs only to you. You can give it a name yourself."
Dai Luoli frowned in thought, then a flash of inspiration struck her.
"Since I comprehended this combat technique while contemplating in winter, let's call it Si Dong Fist."
Xu Zihuang, who was usually calm and collected, had a rather interesting expression on his face, as if he had thought of something and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Sidong Fist?"
"What's wrong? Brother Yu, is this name not good?" Noticing Xu Zihuang's unusual behavior, Dai Luoli seemed a little nervous.
Xu Zihuang was speechless, but his expression returned to normal.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something else. You can decide for yourself."
That's what he said, but the nausea he felt from his past life memories lingered.
"Winter-Thinking Fist, thoughts flow like a spring! Winter-Remembering Sword, unforgettable! Vast Winter Palm, for all eternity!"
Chapter 357 Wang Qiu'er and her journey to the Star Dou Great Forest
Just then, Xu Zihuang received a telepathic message from Elder Xuan, which finally allowed him to temporarily forget his disgust.
"Luo Li, you can continue your cultivation on your own. The academy's team going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts will gather at the main gate of the academy tomorrow morning. Remember not to miss it."
"Yes, Brother Yu!" Dai Luoli replied excitedly.
No Soul Master can resist the temptation of advancement.
Dai Luoli had long desired to obtain her fourth spirit ring. Moreover, joining a team composed of inner court disciples from Shrek Academy would greatly reduce the danger.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will also be in the team tomorrow." As he spoke, Xu Zihuang had already circulated his soul power and flew towards the Sea God Pavilion.
Dai Luoli watched Xu Zihuang's figure disappear from sight.
Overwhelmed with excitement, his gratitude was palpable. He knew that Brother Yu had helped him secure all of this, and had even accompanied him on his journey.
Dai Luoli looked down at her hands, her expression resolute, full of hope and sincerity.
“Brother Yu, I will definitely perfect the Si Dong Fist and enter the inner academy with my own true strength, so that I can follow in your footsteps.”
However, Dai Luoli was clearly overthinking things.
Xu Zihuang followed this team of inner court disciples to the Star Dou Great Forest entirely out of his own volition.
Firstly, he wanted to try his luck and see if he could encounter a soul beast suitable for his second martial soul, the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon. Secondly, in his memories of his previous life, Wang Qiu'er would also accompany this team into the Star Dou Great Forest, where they would encounter the three evil soul master brothers, Zhongli Tian, Zhongli Di, and Zhongli Ren. These three evil soul master brothers, with their eight-ring Soul Douluo cultivation, had their eyes on a severely injured ten-thousand-year-old female Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and two Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear cubs.
The training ground and the mountain peak where the Sea God Pavilion is located are the two highest points on Sea God Island. They are not far apart.
Because of the Golden Tree, the Sea God Pavilion is often shrouded in misty clouds at dawn. It's like the breath of the Golden Tree, full of vibrant life.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, Xu Zihuang's figure appeared, landing steadily on an open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion.
The old man's voice rang in his ears once again.
"Come in, Tianhuang."
Inside the main hall on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion, Elder Xuan, dressed in a white robe, sat in the main seat. Since inheriting the position of Pavilion Master, he no longer appeared as slovenly as before, especially on more formal occasions.
To the right of Elder Xuan sat a kind-faced old lady. Her hair was as white as snow, her face had few wrinkles, and her eyes were very gentle.
And this kind-looking old lady is none other than Elder Song, whose strength and seniority in the Sea God Pavilion are second only to Elder Xuan.
Old Master Song had been resting with his eyes closed, but he slowly opened them when Xu Zihuang entered the lobby on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion.
Xu Zihuang respectfully bowed to Elder Xuan and Elder Song.
"Elder Xuan, Elder Song."
Elder Xuan said helplessly, "You little rascals are really a handful. Tianhuang, do you even realize what your status as the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master means to the academy?"
Xu Zihuang could only force a smile.
"Forget it, Xuanzi, there's no point in saying more. The path to becoming a strong person always requires various trials and experiences. Forcing Tianhuang to stay in the academy would not be in line with our original intentions." Elder Song smiled slightly.
"With me with them, ensuring their safety shouldn't be a problem."
"Mr. Song, are you planning to lead the team personally this time?"
Although Xu Zihuang had suspected it for some time, he was still somewhat surprised when he finally confirmed it.
Old Master Song is a Super Douluo with a Soul Power level of 97. In the current continent, there are very few people stronger than her.
Xu Zihuang originally thought that having Yan Shaozhe or Cai Meier leading the team would be enough.
Despite his advanced age, Old Song's smile remained undiminished.
"I'm just following secretly, and I won't take action unless absolutely necessary. You and Lexuan are the real leaders."
In any case, it's always good to have a super strong person like Elder Song backing you up.
A newly ascended level 95 Super Douluo was enough to easily suppress several ordinary Title Douluos, rendering them powerless to resist. If they were to encounter the three evil soul master brothers on this trip, with Elder Song's cultivation level, killing them here would be no difficult task at all.
Elder Xuan interjected, "Tianhuang, if you've really thought it through, once everyone else has successfully obtained their spirit rings, Old Song will personally lead you deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to find a spirit beast suitable for your second spirit. Although our Shrek Academy has an agreement with the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest that we cannot actively hunt 100,000-year-old spirit beasts, hunting spirit beasts with 80,000 or 90,000-year cultivation for you is no problem at all. I believe that for you, the most crucial thing is the compatibility between the spirit ring and your spirit; the age of the spirit ring is not that important."
At this point, Elder Xuan's gaze became somewhat meaningful. However, he did not ask any further questions.
The more opportunities Yu Tianhuang has, the more prosperous the future of Shrek Academy will be.
At this point, Xu Zihuang could no longer pretend to be confused, and bowed deeply to Elder Xuan and Elder Song once again.
"Elder Xuan, Elder Song, thank you for your trust, as well as the trust of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. I do indeed have many secrets..."
Before Xu Zihuang could finish speaking, Elder Xuan interrupted him, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"I didn't call you here today for these reasons. We won't force you to confess anything; we trust you have your own reasons."
Moreover, he trusted Elder Mu's judgment.
After saying that, Elder Xuan changed the subject again.
"Tianhuang, I heard that you've recently been teaching the White Tiger Duke's youngest son how to fuse spiritual power and soul power?"
Xu Zihuang nodded.
"Luo Li's mutated Blood Tiger Martial Soul possesses such innate talent, and it has already shown initial results. I believe that if he can receive training from the academy, his future achievements should surpass those of Senior Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin."
Although Elder Xuan had not paid special attention to Dai Luoli, and only learned about Dai Luoli's general situation from Wang Yan, he could still tell from those brief pieces of information that Yu Tianhuang's words were true.
The mutated Blood Tiger Martial Soul is a benign mutation based on the traditional White Tiger Martial Soul, gaining additional mental attributes. Its Martial Soul quality is even higher than the White Tiger. Now, Dai Luoli's potential has also been awakened.
Another point is that Soul Masters with spiritual attributes, once they break through to the Title Douluo level, will almost certainly be able to break through to the Super Douluo level in the future.
For powerful individuals at the Title Douluo level, cultivation requires circulating the solidified soul power within their soul core, a process that is not only difficult to control but also fraught with danger. A single misstep can lead to the shattering of the soul core and a drop in cultivation level. Therefore, many soul masters who believe they have limited talent choose to cease cultivation after breaking through to the Title Douluo level.
Soul Masters with a spiritual attribute have far greater control over their soul power than ordinary Soul Masters. They have a significant advantage in this regard.
This was partly the reason why Elder Xuan and Elder Mu valued Xu Zihuang so much.
Having already reached a tangible and substantial level of spiritual power, he will not be troubled by such factors in the future.
After pondering for a moment, Elder Xuan said, "Then let's wait until the time is right and arrange an assessment for him."
Rules are dead, people are alive.
