Su Yu did not dare cultivate rashly.

He kept the booklet of the Intermediate Meditation Method in his Storage Ring.

After sweeping the battlefield once more and confirming there were no issues, Su Yu set off.

Holding the map he had searched off the Evil Soul Master, he compared it against his surroundings and headed toward the nearest town.

Moon Gazing City.

This was a second-tier small city in the southeastern region of the Star Luo Empire.

The city was quite large. It even had a Soul Beast Forest, officially raised and maintained to provide Soul Masters in need with Soul Rings.

Of course, anyone wishing to enter the Soul Beast Forest to hunt Soul Beasts had to pay a hefty entrance fee.

Along the way, Su Yu changed clothes in a small village and cleaned himself up before arriving at the city gates, where he could not help but sigh in amazement.

"This fantasy world really is different. Even a city gate can be this magnificent."

That scale, that grandeur.

He truly wondered what Shrek City, where Shrek Academy stood guard, looked like. And what kind of sight Ming Capital, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire that was said to be the most advanced and developed, had to offer.

"First, I need to find a place to stay."

Su Yu found a standalone courtyard and paid for a month's stay, five Silver Soul Coins in total.

Ordinarily, for the sake of safety, a six-year-old child should not be looking for a place to live alone.

However, having developed the Grafting Technique meant that Su Yu at least had the ability to protect himself.

That allowed him to act a little more freely.

Using the Grafting Technique to kill the Evil Soul Master had been a coincidence, achieved only through the convergence of many factors.

Under normal circumstances, Su Yu would definitely be no match for a Soul Grandmaster. However, against a Soul Master with only one soul skill, he was still confident in the Grafting Technique.

His only disadvantage was that he might have too little Soul Power, leaving him lacking in endurance.

But the Grafting Technique was all about instant kills. As long as he seized the right moment and activated the soul skill, he could kill with a single blow.

"I need to figure out how to read."

That was the second most urgent matter.

As for obtaining identification documents and the like.

Once he had sufficient cultivation in the future, what would be difficult about that?

A Three-Ring Soul Master could casually obtain one upon arriving in a small city.

So Su Yu was not worried about that at all.

Under normal circumstances, he would not need such identification documents anyway.

Su Yu had no plans to attend any Soul Master Academy, nor did he intend to buy property. Such proof of identity was basically meaningless to him.

As for Shrek Academy.

As long as one's talent was sufficient, nothing was a problem.

"Although I don't agree with many of Shrek's principles, I have to admit that its educational resources are indeed the best on the entire continent."

Su Yu was not referring to teaching staff, but rather knowledge resources in all areas, such as cultivation techniques and cultivation experience.

He had a very clear understanding of his own situation.

Comprehension Defies Heaven was his greatest cheat and the foundation of his future rise. To maximize its effects, however, abundant knowledge was indispensable.

With nothing in his head, it would be inconvenient to develop anything.

The Grafting Technique was merely a soul skill Su Yu had developed while in a state of enlightenment. Even that soul skill itself was not actually complete.

A Self-Created Soul Skill was an offensive method formed from one's own understanding of Soul Power circulation.

It needed to be refined step by step in order to keep pace with a Soul Master's growth and remain effective.

It was like Soul Rings absorbed at different levels.

For the same consumption of Soul Power, a soul skill from a hundred-year Soul Ring was inferior to one from a thousand-year or ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.

That was the fundamental difference between soul skills.

A Self-Created Soul Skill naturally had to be perfected bit by bit by its creator.

The Grafting Technique Su Yu had developed was, in terms of its fundamental nature as a soul skill, probably only equivalent to one provided by a Soul Ring of just over a hundred years.

"I'll worry about all that later. First, I need to learn how to read and master the meditation method."

Su Yu spent half a day finding a Teacher in the city. He paid one Gold Soul Coin to hire the man to teach him.

Faced with such generous pay, the Teacher did not hesitate. He followed Su Yu home and began giving him lessons. Su Yu only wanted to learn to read, and with Heaven-Defying Comprehension enhancing him, he learned extremely quickly.

The Teacher had not brought enough textbooks on the first day. After teaching for half a day, he had already taught Su Yu everything and hurried home. Three days later, the Teacher left with a sigh of amazement.

Having earned one Gold Soul Coin in three days, he practically floated as he walked.

After seeing the Teacher off and closing the door, Su Yu took out the Intermediate Meditation Method. He had not learned every character, word, and sentence structure. He had only learned basic literacy and the most common characters.

With that, plus a dictionary, it was enough.

Using the dictionary as a reference, Su Yu slowly worked to understand the descriptions in the Intermediate Meditation Method.

"How the hell is this any different from what I guessed?"

Su Yu directly threw the dictionary in his hand aside and cursed loudly.

"Damn it, it's not that I overestimated myself. Did I overestimate this meditation method?"

Douluo Continent being a Fantasy Combat Power Floor Tile was not without reason.

"Fuck, all it does is sense the Martial Soul within the body, then meditate to capture the Primordial Energy between heaven and earth and use the Martial Soul to convert it into one's own Soul Power?"

The so-called Intermediate Meditation Method was merely a few simple differences in meditation techniques?

Su Yu was speechless.

"Since that's the case, I can only experience it myself."

He sat cross-legged and emptied his mind.

As he tried it, Su Yu discovered that the meditation method was not completely useless. At the very least, the method for entering a meditative state was highly effective. It quickly eliminated unnecessary thoughts and made it easier to focus.

Su Yu soon sensed the existence of his Martial Soul within his body. He activated it and perceived the Primordial Energy between heaven and earth.

"This method of sensing Primordial Energy is indeed somewhat useful."

"This method of refining Primordial Energy is useful too."

After experiencing it once, Su Yu opened his eyes and began to summarize the effects of the Intermediate Meditation Method.

"Overall, its supportive effects are genuinely quite good."

But this meditation method only had supportive effects.

"The only technique within it that affects the speed of Soul Power cultivation—the technique that assists in refining Primordial Energy into Soul Power—will probably weaken drastically once I reach Soul Grandmaster."

By then, he would probably be relying purely on himself to cultivate.

Su Yu could only be speechless about that.

No wonder it was called a meditation method.

Still, above the Intermediate Meditation Method was the Advanced Meditation Method.

Beyond that, there had to be even more special cultivation techniques.

Meditation methods, meditation methods—perhaps they had been created merely to make meditation more convenient.

While cultivating, there were also many techniques for circulating Soul Power. Those might be the true key to increasing Cultivation Speed.

Su Yu remembered that in the era ten thousand years ago, some Grandmaster had apparently summarized a series of Soul Power circulation routes that were said to greatly accelerate Soul Power cultivation.

That meant Douluo Continent still had techniques similar to Internal Cultivation Methods, methods that achieved effects by circulating Soul Power through the body's Meridians along specific routes.

It was simply that no proper system had ever been formed.

As for the fact that someone had been summarizing circulation routes ten thousand years ago, yet ten thousand years later no one had truly created a method comparable to an Internal Cultivation Method, Su Yu did not wish to look too deeply into it.
