Xiao Lin's Training Method

After basically setting Xiao Wu's spirit rings along a Quick Attack Decapitation Style route, Xiao Lin stopped bothering with her.

He could let Tang San, that simp, teach Xiao Wu and instill some of Xiao Lin's Martial Soul concepts into her.

At this moment, Xiao Lin sat cross-legged on a patch of Blue Silver Grass, completely motionless. He circulated the Indestructible Divine Skill, meditated, and considered how to train his physical strength all at once.

The Horned Dragon Staff's weight could indeed train his body, but Xiao Lin still did not know how much weight or what length of Horned Dragon Staff he could endure.

The longer the Horned Dragon Staff, the longer its lever arm and the greater its torque. If Xiao Lin failed to control it properly, not only would he be unable to practice the Eight Trigrams Staff Technique well, he could also easily injure himself.

And Tang San was not yet proficient in the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, so he did not dare teach Xiao Lin rashly, afraid that he might teach it wrong.

Thus, Xiao Lin could only find a better training method.

He would not be like a certain Grandmaster, running around with rocks on his back. No matter what, he had to find a better training method than that.

Just like that, after sitting cross-legged for roughly two minutes, Xiao Lin finally came up with a suitable method.

Self-restraint.

The Horned Dragon Staff would remain at the length originally suited to Xiao Lin's height, and its weight would not be increased further.

However, Xiao Lin intended to temporarily sever his Soul Power connection with the Horned Dragon Staff.

He would make himself bear the Horned Dragon Staff's current weight completely, allowing his Soul Power to be rapidly depleted.

Xiao Lin possessed the Innate Horned Dragon Staff Saint Physique. Once he connected the Horned Dragon Staff with his own Soul Power, lifting heavy things became as easy as lifting light ones, while lifting light things could become as difficult as lifting heavy ones.

If he wanted the Horned Dragon Staff to become heavier, it would become heavier. If he wanted it to become lighter, it would become lighter.

That was no good. When he was training and could no longer hold on, his body would instinctively reduce the Horned Dragon Staff's weight.

Moreover, since his body itself would already be exhausted, Xiao Lin might not even realize that the Horned Dragon Staff had become lighter, resulting in twice the effort for half the results.

Once Xiao Lin severed the Soul Power connection, there would be little difference between him summoning the Horned Dragon Staff and Tang San summoning the Clear Sky Hammer.

Summoning the Horned Dragon Staff would consume a great deal of Soul Power, and once the Soul Power within the Horned Dragon Staff was depleted, the base attributes it granted Xiao Lin would also weaken.

That way, Xiao Lin would basically be training entirely through his own physical strength.

Xiao Lin called this self-restraint.

Moreover, since this was a method Xiao Lin had spent a massive two minutes devising, self-restraint naturally would not be so simple.

Xiao Lin decided to leave everything to his body and turn physical training into an instinct.

Meanwhile, his mind would continuously meditate and circulate the Indestructible Divine Skill, using the absorbed Soul Power solely to widen his Meridians before concentrating it in the External Soul Bone, Little Bull Horns.

Finally, he would release all the Soul Power.

It was like turning on a faucet while draining the water at the same time—Soul Power would pass through Xiao Lin's body without remaining within it.

This would also train the speed at which Xiao Lin recovered Soul Power, widen his Meridians, and allow him to store even more Soul Power.

Finally, because widening those tiny Meridians required it, it would greatly increase Xiao Lin's Heart Separation Control ability and train his Mental Power.

Most importantly, as someone with the Innate Horned Dragon Staff Saint Physique, Xiao Lin was naturally skilled at wielding a staff.

The human body was a marvelous thing.

Making his body instinctively wield the staff and practice staff techniques would only strengthen Xiao Lin's connection to the Horned Dragon Staff more and more.

Genius!

Although Xiao Lin felt that his method was somewhat rough, it was definitely more useful than Yu Xiaogang's.

If this was not genius, then what was?

Once he finished training, he could ask Tang San for a Blue Silver Regeneration Bracelet and have himself a spa.

Perfect!

Absolutely perfect!

Just thinking about it made Xiao Lin high as hell!

It was only because Xiao Lin did not currently have such good conditions. Otherwise, he would have set up Gravity training, a Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and even some One Punch Man training regimen.

Xiao Lin rose to his feet. Since he had thought of a method, he needed to put it into action.

Seeing Tang San still teaching that stupid rabbit Xiao Wu how to hold a horse stance, Xiao Lin could not help shaking his head before moving away from them.

He was deeply afraid that Xiao Wu's low intelligence might be contagious.

After walking some distance away, Xiao Lin no longer had to worry about practicing the Eight Trigrams Staff Technique hurting Tang San, so he directly activated the Horned Dragon Staff.

After severing the Soul Power connection, Xiao Lin's hands sank the moment he summoned the Horned Dragon Staff.

However, he did not let the Horned Dragon Staff revert to its original length of two and a half meters, so Xiao Lin could still endure it for now.

Only after consuming roughly three-fifths of his Soul Power did Xiao Lin successfully summon it.

A bright silver Horned Dragon Staff appeared in Xiao Lin's hands, weighing roughly fifty jin.

For an ordinary six-year-old child, that was already a weight difficult even to lift.

But Xiao Lin could still handle it. It was within his limits.

Before Xiao Lin's Soul Power was exhausted, he could probably perform two full sets of the Eight Trigrams Staff Technique. Those two sets would count as his warm-up.

Then, once Xiao Lin exhausted his Soul Power and his base attributes dropped, the training would truly begin.

It was precisely because the Imprisoning Dragon Staff used a two-handed staff technique that Xiao Lin could train like this. Otherwise, he might have had to make the Imprisoning Dragon Staff a little shorter.

Fortunately, although the Soul Power connection between the Imprisoning Dragon Staff and Xiao Lin had vanished, the close affinity between them remained. After practicing two sets of the Eight Trigrams Staff Technique, Xiao Lin found that there was not much friction between his palms and the Imprisoning Dragon Staff, nor did it cause blisters on his hands.

The Imprisoning Dragon Staff fit Xiao Lin's palms perfectly, as though they had fused into one.

As his Soul Power ran low, Xiao Lin's training gradually became somewhat strenuous.

Meanwhile, only after Xiao Lin had successfully entered his training state did Tang San barely manage to teach Xiao Wu the horse stance.

Xiao Wu was not actually stupid. Her horse stance was quite standard.

It was just that whenever she could no longer endure it, she wanted to give up and became distracted, unable even to meditate.

Now, Tang San drew a spiral symbol between Xiao Wu's brows and told her to focus on that symbol whenever she meditated. Only after concentrating her attention did Xiao Wu barely manage to persist.

As for holding the horse stance for a long time, it was not something Xiao Wu could fully endure at her current level.

Rather, Tang San had secretly put a Blue Silver Regeneration Bracelet on Xiao Wu's hand, allowing her to hold on longer.

After helping Xiao Wu enter the right state, Tang San quickly sat cross-legged and instantly entered cultivation and meditation with the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

At the same time, Tang San began communicating with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, having it help him gather the Soul Power nearby.

At the same time.

Yu Xiaogang, who had arrived in Suotuo City, came to Shrek Academy under Flender's guidance.

Looking at facilities and furnishings that were not even as good as those of Notting Academy, Yu Xiaogang felt some regret.

Was Flender serious?

This was Shrek Academy?

"Xiaogang, you've finally come around. With a theoretical master like you here, our Shrek Academy will surely rise to greater heights and produce another Qin Ming."

Flender was warm and hospitable, and he was delighted by Yu Xiaogang's arrival.

Shrek Academy was his life's work. If it could one day become famous across the entire continent, he would die without regrets.

"Flender, you let the children live in a place like this? Eating ordinary steamed buns, the kind without even any meat?"

Yu Xiaogang did not look pleased in the slightest. His expression was terrifyingly dark.

If this was the kind of academy it was, he did not think his disciple could defeat Tang Hao's son.

Xiao Lin could knock him down with a light push. Could the children here do that?

Faced with Yu Xiaogang's reproach, Flender merely scratched his neck and said somewhat awkwardly, "Xiaogang, I don't want this either. I'm the only one earning money for the whole academy. It's hard for me."

"Hard for you? Have you even worked hard?"

Yu Xiaogang said irritably, "Forget it. From now on, I'll guide the academy's students, and they must all eat better meals to make up for their nutrition."

"Also, have the older students go fight in the Soul Arena. You have a sharp eye, so win more money through betting."

The moment Yu Xiaogang arrived at Shrek Academy, he seized the other teachers' authority to instruct the students. He then demanded that Flender dismiss several teachers to preserve funds.

However, Flender stopped him from dismissing the teachers.

Every teacher here was above the rank of Soul Emperor. Even if they went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they would be treated with courtesy by the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Xue Ye Great Emperor.

Because of this, Flender even felt that Yu Xiaogang had become somewhat obsessed.
