Soul Power Meditation Techniques Summarized by Master

"Xiao San."

At the entrance to the Seventh Dormitory, Xiao Xian knocked on the door and called Tang San away under the puzzled gazes of Wang Sheng, Xiao Wu, and the others.

"Come on. As your Senior Brother, I should at least treat you to a meal."

Without waiting for Tang San to refuse, Xiao Xian took the initiative and pulled him toward the teaching building.

Nuoding Academy's cafeteria was inside the teaching building, and they had to cross the training grounds to reach it.

After entering the cafeteria, Xiao Xian directly led Tang San toward the stairs.

"No, Senior Brother, let's just eat on the first floor." The thin, small Tang San hurriedly said.

Wang Sheng had already treated him to a meal yesterday.

Naturally, he knew that Nuoding Academy's cafeteria had two floors. The first-floor hall only served ordinary food. The second floor had private places where one could order dishes, and the food was delicious—but expensive.

"It's fine. Come on." Xiao Xian casually took out several Gold Soul Coins and tossed them in his hand.

"..." Seeing the glittering Gold Soul Coins, Tang San immediately swallowed the words of refusal that had risen to his lips.

Just those few Gold Soul Coins were worth more than selling his whole family—the house, the land, and even the people.

On the Second Floor Cafeteria, Xiao Xian found a Small Private Room and casually ordered seven or eight dishes.

He first packed several boxes' worth of food and wrapped them in a bag.

Then, under Tang San's confused gaze, he summoned the Purple-haired Big Dog, "Xiao Jue."

"Alright, go on."

Xiao Xian patted Xiao Jue on the head and had it carry the bag out in its mouth.

"Have it bring Teacher a meal. Come, eat."

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Tang San suppressed the astonishment in his eyes. He had never imagined that a Martial Soul could be used for something like this.

Yet somehow, it also seemed perfectly reasonable.

"..."

The seven or eight plates were picked clean.

This was definitely the fullest Tang San had ever eaten in his life.

For the past six years, it had been porridge every day.

Most of the porridge he usually cooked had gone into his father Tang Hao's stomach anyway.

They picked their teeth and rinsed their mouths.

The two rested for a while after their meal.

Tang San was in no hurry to leave. He felt that Xiao Xian seemed to have something else to discuss.

After all, Xiao Xian merely sat there without moving, showing no urgency to return to the dormitory.

Sure enough, it was not long before—

Xiao Xian took a thick book from the Storage Spirit Tool at his waist, pushed it in front of Tang San, and said,

"You haven't enrolled yet, so perhaps you don't know that Soul Masters cultivate by meditating and circulating their own Soul Power."

"But there are many techniques involved."

"How you circulate it to raise Soul Power the fastest, and what sort of environment allows a Soul Master to reach the best meditative state—there are particular considerations for all of that."

"This book records a great deal of relevant knowledge."

"This is an important piece of Teacher's research. I hope you'll take it and study it properly."

Looking at the thick book on the table, Tang San was instinctively shocked.

Although he had not enrolled yet, he knew that a Soul Master's Soul Power was not all that different from his internal energy.

The cultivation methods Master had researched were presumably similar to the circulation routes of internal energy.

His Mysterious Heaven Skill had been refined generation after generation by the Tang Sect's predecessors.

Yet Master had managed to achieve such a level through his own efforts alone?

Xiao Xian glanced at Tang San, naturally knowing that he had started imagining things again.

But he did not care.

The important matter came first.

"Alright, stop spacing out and read it first. While we have time, you can ask me anything you don't understand, and I can teach you."

"Tomorrow, you'll obtain your First Spirit Ring. A Meditation Method can help a little with absorbing a Soul Ring. You can't just absorb one rashly without knowing anything."

Xiao Xian tapped the table, reminding Tang San.

"Alright!" Tang San nodded and opened the book. As he read, a warmth unconsciously rose in his heart.

Senior Brother Xiao was truly too good to him.

He always noticed such details.

Xiao Xian was clearly only one year older than him, and even his actual mental age was younger.

Yet he did not know whether it was an illusion, but Tang San always sensed an unusual steadiness and maturity from Xiao Xian.

It gave him a feeling like Master—or perhaps his father.

Perhaps this was what a genius was like?

Tang San could not help thinking silently.

"..."

The contents of the book were just as Tang San had expected. They were indeed methods similar to the circulation of internal energy, mixed with many theories related to Martial Souls, such as Martial Soul Mimicry and the like.

Compared to his Mysterious Heaven Skill, they were naturally far inferior.

But if these were merely the research results of Master alone, then they were quite remarkable.

"..."

It was getting late. The sun gradually set, leaving only scattered stars behind.

Nuoding Academy also sank into darkness and became quiet.

Xiao Xian decisively brought Tang San back to Master's Dormitory.

Under Master's puzzled gaze, he explained that he wanted to teach Tang San a Soul Power Meditation Method to help him absorb a Soul Ring after hunting Soul Beasts tomorrow. There was no quiet place, so naturally this was the only choice.

He even conveniently sent Master out.

He had him find the Teacher in charge of the dormitories and explain the situation.

Once the term officially began, Nuoding Academy's rules were rather strict.

Tang San and he would be considered absent overnight.

Standing in the corridor and enduring the cold wind—

Master could only shake his head. At the same time, he felt somewhat emotional, even a little doubtful of himself.

He had indeed forgotten that Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power. He had not even attended a day of school and did not know how to meditate.

Absorbing a Soul Ring rashly, especially a powerful one, was somewhat dangerous.

But fortunately, there was Xiao Xian.

He had thought of everything.

After Master left—

Xiao Xian took out two cushions from the Soul Tool at his waist and placed them on the floor.

Tang San was immediately stunned.

When Xiao Xian had taken out that thick book earlier, Tang San had already been somewhat puzzled. However, the table had blocked his view, so he had not seen clearly.

This time, he saw it perfectly clearly.

Xiao Xian had actually pulled two cushions this large out of thin air?

Was this also an ability of Soul Masters?

"This is a Storage Spirit Tool, a relatively rare little thing. Teacher gave it to me. I don't know whether he has any left, but he still has one on him."

Xiao Xian casually explained, then sat cross-legged on a cushion and said,

"Let's begin. Start meditating first. Ask if there's anything you don't understand, and I'll answer it whenever you do."

"According to the sixth principle of Teacher's Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, when a Soul Master reaches a cultivation bottleneck, even without obtaining a new Soul Ring, they can continue increasing their Soul Power. It just won't be easy to show. So even though you have Innate Full Soul Power, cultivating now is still useful."

The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul... Teacher's theory?

Tang San silently committed the term to memory and sat down cross-legged.

Although he had the Mysterious Heaven Skill and did not need the Soul Power circulation routes from that book, Senior Brother was doing this for his sake. Cultivation was cultivation no matter where he did it.

Tang San silently thought.

The cushion was warm, carrying the scent of sunlight, and it made him feel extremely comfortable.

Tang San almost subconsciously began circulating his Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Xiao Xian sat cross-legged on the other cushion.

They were within arm's reach.

He sensed it almost instantly.

"Mysterious Heaven Skill..."

"Just as expected."

"Clear. It was far too clear..."

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Xiao Xian decisively followed the Sunlight Spores within Tang San's body and focused all his senses on the Mysterious Heaven Skill's circulation route...
