You're in Pretty Good Shape, Kid

Teacher Yu Xiaogang continued having Deep Blue examine Su Yuntao's constitution. Then, Deep Blue said in surprise within his mind:

"Master, this Su Yuntao is really diligent. He already took the Whale Glue pill you gave him at noon. Compared with his physical strength yesterday, the worse one's cultivation aptitude is, the stronger the effect. Now that the Whale Glue pill has strengthened his body and meridians, Su Yuntao's cultivation aptitude has reached the level of Innate Soul Power Rank 4."

Yu Xiaogang felt as though he had grasped a powerful weapon. When the time came for him to make his move, he could win over ordinary civilian Soul Masters! On Douluo Continent, the most numerous were Soul Masters around Rank 30, at the Soul Elder level. Now, Yu Xiaogang possessed pills that could improve cultivation aptitude.

Yu Xiaogang immediately asked Deep Blue in the Soul Space, "Can Deep Blue artificially synthesize the medicinal properties of Whale Glue? After all, Whale Glue can only be produced by whale-type Sea Soul Beasts, so the supply is far too unstable. If the secret of Whale Glue is discovered, our sect has only just started—we won't be able to afford it. Things are precious because they are scarce! Whale Glue will definitely become scarcer the more we use."

Deep Blue had not considered that much. It felt that its master truly had foresight, and immediately added a new task to the task list as the highest priority.

"Deep Blue has received your task, Master. Don't worry, Deep Blue is very capable! Master just needs to collect a large amount of medicinal herb data, so Deep Blue's deduction speed can increase!"

Yu Xiaogang praised Deep Blue a few times inwardly, then looked at the uneasy Su Yuntao before him and put on a stern expression. "Su Yuntao, your physical strength has improved far more than the others'. Your First Soul Ring's absorption limit is now 420 years. Keep working hard, but you have many hidden injuries. Today's training will be cut in half."

"But Teacher, I can do it! I know my cultivation aptitude isn't high. I can only catch up to others through hard work. I'll keep going!"

Su Yuntao explained emotionally to Yu Xiaogang. Seeing Su Yuntao's face flush red with agitation, Yu Xiaogang criticized him in a stern tone:

"Nonsense! Didn't Teacher give you a new Meditation Method? It can slowly improve your physical condition, and your cultivation aptitude will gradually improve as well! Now that you've joined the Elite Class's training, you can't sacrifice the future for immediate gains! You're draining your body's potential! Your priority now is to heal your hidden injuries and restore the potential you exhausted before!"

Hearing Teacher Yu Xiaogang's severe tone, Su Yuntao felt warmth fill his heart. Work-Study Students had never been welcomed by others, yet now he had such a responsible teacher. With tears glimmering in his eyes, he looked at Yu Xiaogang's tall figure before him, not knowing what words he could use to repay him.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Su Yuntao tried hard not to let his moved tears fall. He quickly ran over and sat beside Xiao Zhan. Xiao Zhan flashed a toothy grin and patted Su Yuntao's thin shoulder encouragingly. "Su Yuntao! Be a man! We're all from the same sect now. From now on, Xiao the Boss has got your back! Listen to Teacher properly. Cultivate with peace of mind and achieve results—that's how you can repay Teacher's support!"

Su Yuntao felt that he had found a friend to whom he could entrust his back. Before Yu Xiaogang came to the Junior Soul Master Academy, he had often fought with Xiao Zhan, the academy's boss, to stand up for the Work-Study Students. Now that they had both become disciples of Dragon Gate, founded by Teacher Yu Xiaogang, the grudge in his heart vanished because of Xiao Zhan's encouraging words. Friendship between men was just that simple.

Si Si also looked at Su Yuntao with admiration. From the start, she had known that this Work-Study Student, Su Yuntao, liked her, and she had previously told him her standards for choosing a partner. Now, they had both become disciples of Teacher Yu Xiaogang's Dragon Gate.

Now that Teacher Yu Xiaogang was giving him special attention and Su Yuntao had gained his cultivation resources, his future was bright. The things Teacher Yu Xiaogang had brought out were simply too shocking.

Si Si was also worried that if the major powers of Douluo Continent learned of the Whale Glue pills Teacher Yu Xiaogang had produced yesterday, Dragon Gate might not be able to keep them. She worried herself sick over Dragon Gate—how long could they keep it hidden? Especially Wang Dachui, that brainless fool! As Su Yuntao, Xiao Zhan, and Si Si discussed cultivation insights together, Yu Xiaogang continued calling people over for examinations.

"Wang Dachui, it's your turn! Let Teacher see whether your body, forged from years of blacksmithing, has any hidden injuries, and how effective yesterday's Medicinal Bath was."

"Hey! It's finally my turn! I'm coming right over, Teacher!"

The moment Wang Dachui heard Teacher Yu Xiaogang call his name, he happily jumped up and answered at once.

As Yu Xiaogang looked at Wang Dachui's burly figure walking up to him, he could not help wondering sometimes what people on Douluo Continent ate to grow like this. He was only ten years old, yet already around 170 centimeters tall. His arms were nearly as thick as Si Si's thighs.

While Yu Xiaogang was still marveling, Deep Blue had already dutifully scanned and examined Wang Dachui's massive body with Mental Power, then shared the examination data with Yu Xiaogang.

After seeing the data, Yu Xiaogang could not help sighing at the execution ability of someone so straightforward. He had taken a Whale Glue pill too.

"Mm! Wang Dachui, your physical condition is very good! After Teacher's examination, your First Soul Ring absorption limit has reached 630 years. Your main focus now is improving your Mental Power and physical flexibility. Your muscles are too stiff. You also have many hidden injuries, probably left behind from years of blacksmithing. Your training volume will be reduced as well. Teacher will prepare new Medicinal Bath ingredients for you along with Su Yuntao, with healing your hidden injuries as the priority."

When the Elite Class students below heard that Wang Dachui's First Soul Ring absorption limit was actually so high, every one of them revealed shocked expressions. They immediately began chattering among themselves, all looking at Teacher Yu Xiaogang with eager eyes.

Because Teacher Yu Xiaogang had caused all of this with his own hands. And at noon, Teacher Yu Xiaogang had specifically called Su Yuntao and the other four to his office. He had definitely given them special treatment! "I understand, Teacher. Then I'll go find Su Yuntao and the others."

Wang Dachui wore his usual simple smile. After respectfully bowing to Yu Xiaogang, he walked toward Su Yuntao and the others.

Seeing Wang Dachui being so polite, Yu Xiaogang felt that although this fellow was usually a little foolish, his character and personality were quite likable. Xiao Zhan had plenty to say about Wang Dachui.

After Yu Xiaogang finished examining his own people from Dragon Gate, he continued checking the remaining Elite Class students. The happiest one was Deep Blue, which watched its database become increasingly complete.

It took half an hour for Yu Xiaogang and Teacher Ye from the infirmary to finish. After organizing and filing the physical examination forms, Yu Xiaogang began arranging the afternoon's training volume according to the students' physical condition.

Those lacking physical strength ran with weights. Those with weak upper-body strength did pull-ups. Those lacking explosive power in their waists practiced sit-ups. Yu Xiaogang trained the Elite Class according to their weaknesses. It was the first time the students had seen such a scientific training method, and they were extremely proactive, making things much easier for Yu Xiaogang.

Dean Kahn could not resist his curiosity either. He stepped forward to try out these training methods himself, then praised Yu Xiaogang for coming up with them:

"A master truly is a master! These training methods specifically designed to strengthen one's weaknesses are truly excellent. Also, Teacher Yu, the Indoor Swimming Pool should be completed in about a week. Let's go watch the children train from the side!"
