Zhu Zhuqing
At this moment, Ning Rongrong raised her hand and asked, "Teacher, why did I awaken my Martial Soul on my own? Will it have a negative impact on my Martial Soul? After all, others awaken their Martial Soul with the help of Awakening Stone, and I'm still a few months away from being able to awaken my martial soul! Isn't it too fast, teacher? Rongrong is feeling uneasy now."
"Hehe, then teacher, I'll ask Rongrong some questions. What happened to the first Soul Master in the Douluo Continent? Did someone help him awaken his Martial Soul? Do you know why he has to be six years old to awaken his Martial Soul?"
"Ah! This... this."
Ning Rongrong was a little annoyed and at a loss, tapping her chest with her index fingers. She didn't like reading books much, which was the complete opposite of Tang San. As long as it wasn't about body cultivation, Ning Rongrong wouldn't waste her time reading it.
"Alright, teacher won't tease you anymore. Based on my speculation over the years, it's very likely that some of the most outstanding individuals have fully matured and awakened their Martial Soul on their own, or that the gods from the Divine Realm have sent officials down to the mortal world to help humans awaken their Martial Soul. But I think the first possibility is more likely."
As for why Soul Master can only awaken their Martial Soul at the age of six, that should be quite clear. It's just that the Martial Soul within Soul Master's body hasn't fully matured yet; forcibly awakening Martial Soul is like a premature baby. It seems Teacher Rongrong wasn't paying attention in class!
"Hehe! No way, teacher!"
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was about to lecture her, Ning Rongrong immediately started to act cute and charming in an attempt to get away with it. Looking at his little apprentice who was acting cute in front of him, Yu Xiaogang lost his desire to lecture her and could only affectionately pat Ning Rongrong's head.
This made Ning Rongrong had escaped a disaster, cheer with joy. Next, Yu Xiaogang led Tang San and the others on a tour, introducing the place where Tang San and the others would train in the future. Oscar and Ma Hongjun also got to see the whole process of cultivating their Spirit Ring, and Oscar also learned about the powerful capabilities and possibilities of Soul Tool.
Afterwards, Tang San and the others strongly requested to see the soul guide machine that could travel to Parallel World. However, since Deep Blue was currently undergoing upgrades and optimizations, they could only look at it from outside the glass wall and could not get their hands on it. Ning Rongrong felt it was a pity, as she wanted to go to the Douluo Continent ten thousand years in the future to see how her family's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was doing.
Ning Rongrong also complained that none of the people in her sect possessed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and she even changed the sect's name to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She felt that her descendants were suffering for the sake of saving face. Hmm? It seems to be the reason why she and Oscar didn't leave any descendants in the future?
Ning Rongrong fell into deep thought. No matter how she thought about it, it was useless; she hadn't awakened her Martial Soul yet! It wasn't too late.
After the visit, Tang San and his friends began to cultivate as arranged by Yu Xiaogang. They were all very excited. Today, they not only learned about the secret project that Teacher Yu Xiaogang was researching, but also felt full of confidence in their future!
Tang San's disciples could finally relax and begin their cultivation. Yu Xiaogang, however, had to get busy. First, he had to move Ning Rongrong's simulated cultivation illusion to a different location. He also had to check Oscar Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul physical condition to make it easier for them to absorb their First Soul Ring. The most troublesome one was Xiao Wu, who was born as Soul Beast.
She possesses the primordial energy from her time as Soul Beast. Yu Xiaogang is tasked with suppressing Xiao Wu's Soul Beast energy while Xiao Wu absorbs her Artificial Growth Soul Ring, preventing it from causing trouble. She also needs to help integrate the foreign Spirit Ring into Xiao Wu's own Soul Beast. This is another job that will make her lose hair.
There was no way around it; Oscar Ma Hongjun were about to start absorbing their First Soul Ring. Although Xiao Wu didn't say anything, her pitiful, watery eyes were enough to make anyone's heart ache. Only after Yu Xiaogang repeatedly assured her that her Spirit Ring would be cultivated soon did Xiao Wu happily run off to cuddle with Tang San.
Whether it was Yu Xiaogang's revelation of the future or not, it seems that Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar have gotten closer, but Ma Hongjun still occasionally gets distracted and smiles foolishly.
Sigh! Hopeless. Douluo Continent truly lives up to its reputation as a continent of romance. Oh well!
Yu Xiaogang was at a loss about his disciples' situation. He couldn't very well break them up, could he? As long as they didn't betray him and focused on their cultivation, they could become his capable assistants in the future.
Over the next few days, Yu Xiaogang would open the Space-Time Tunnel every day to take Tang San and the others to cultivate in the Immortal Realm Secret Realm. He would also take the opportunity to exchange ideas with Deep Blue on improving the Time Travel Prototype. Every now and then, Tang San would finish his cultivation and sit on the side to listen, even though he couldn't understand anything.
Tang San thought he might not understand the experiment his teacher was doing now, but he would understand it once he gained more knowledge. Actually, what Tang San cared about most was his future daughter Tang Wutong. Right now, Tang San was filled with mixed feelings and didn't know how to face her.
Although it was another messed-up thing that Tang San did, he still felt guilty. Apart from Yu Xiaogang Deep Blue, Tang San was the only one who most wanted the Time Travel Prototype to be improved quickly so that he could go ten thousand years later to make up for the mistakes that the other version of himself had made.
However, Yu Xiaogang could also see this. Tang San's face was full of worries. Moreover, the Tang San he had personally trained was not like the one in the original story. Now, Tang San was compassionate and treated people well. He could be said to be a perfect successor.
After all, Yu Xiaogang couldn't stay on the Douluo Continent forever; someone had to take over the power there eventually, right? During this time, Bibi Dong also returned and told Yu Xiaogang about taking Qian Renxue as her disciple. How could he not see that she was trying to get benefits for her new disciple?
Having no other choice, Yu Xiaogang took the beaming Bibi Dong to the collection room and asked Bibi Dong to take whatever she could find useful.
Now that Bibi Dong is going to teach Qian Renxue every few days, Yu Xiaogang has started to be alone in her room. She can only turn her attention to improving the Time Travel Prototype. However, due to the huge amount of data, even Deep Blue has to spend a lot of time modifying it.
Time flew by unnoticed, and Zhu Zhuqing, far away in the Star Luo Empire, had also awakened her Martial Soul. Thanks to Yu Xiaogang's theory on the importance of nurturing Martial Soul after birth, Zhu Zhuqing's Innate Soul Power, which was only level seven in the original work, increased significantly.
After all, the resources a direct relative of a powerful family receives for nurturing Soul Master are unimaginable for a commoner in their lifetime. Zhu Zhuqing has taken a lot of various warming and nourishing medicines to improve her physical condition and cleanse her body. Her awakened Martial Soul Power reached an astonishing level nine innate Soul Power, breaking the record for the highest innate awakened Soul Power in the history of the Zhu Family.
This made her older sister, Zhu Zhuyun, envious and jealous. She also marveled at her younger sister's good fortune in meeting Yu Xiaogang, a selfless Grandmaster directly shared his years of research, leading to a surge of genius Soul Master in recent years, which even put pressure on her.
Thanks to the wonderful Whale Rubber, Zhu Zhuqing's First Soul Ring was nearly nine hundred years old. The Spirit Ring she chose was the Hell Stab, which had been passed down through generations of the Zhu Family. Perhaps because the Spirit Ring was too old, it not only doubled Zhu Zhuqing's speed but also increased her flexibility and physical strength. Her fingers were also adorned with sharp claws formed from condensed Soul Power.
