Soul Masters and Theoretical Grandmasters

"The definition of God or anything like that doesn't really concern me, does it?"

Bu Yi interrupted Zhou Qing's talk about gods and returned to the main topic, "So, if I want to achieve the Soul Power cultivation speed that other normal Soul Elder should have, besides joining a family with a fire-attribute Martial Soul and seeking their Soul Power cultivation method, there are only two paths:

It depends on luck—

I need to accumulate Gold Soul Coin in order to be able to bid on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in various auction houses that can allow my Martial Soul to be fully nurtured in a short period of time.

Or—

"It still depends on luck. In the near future, will you be able to find a large group of children who haven't reached the age for Martial Soul Awakening, investigate them one by one, and confirm the existence of theories related to ' Soul Palace ' and ' Martial Soul Gestation Period '?"

"For now, this is the only option."

Zhou Qing nodded.

During this period, Bu Yi and the other six sisters were able to gain the approval of everyone in their small team.

So, Zhou Qing and Tang San discussed it and decided to pass on the Mysterious Heaven Skill to these seven people, further expanding this small group. It didn't seem like a big problem.

But clearly not now!

Bu Yi sighed, "(-ο-)=3", and smiled again, "Thank you, I'll think about it."

"Actually, Sister Yi, there's no need to worry too much. Even if things get worse, it won't be much worse than your current situation."

Zhou Qing comforted her, "And even if it weren't for you, I would take Romantina with me to find children under six years old when we have time to learn about my conjecture—if the Soul Palace, the thing that nurtures Martial Soul, really exists, then replicating its structure might provide some assistance for the growth of our Martial Soul."

That's actually an understatement.

If the "Soul Palace" that nurtures Martial Soul truly exists, then in this theory of "Martial Soul Gestation," Zhou Qing believes that the "Soul Palace" is an instinctive condensation of the Heaven and Earth Energy, which, through a series of complex transformations, forms energy capable of supporting the development of Martial Soul.

This energy will undoubtedly play a significant role in the already "born" Martial Soul. With long-term nurturing, it might even lead to a qualitative change through quantitative accumulation, allowing the Martial Soul to break through its original limits and complete its evolution!

"Do you guys have to go to such lengths?" Bu Yi didn't know what to say. "I've already learned from the dean that you, Xiao Wu, and that Tang San are all Innate Full Soul Power. I thought they were just good at cultivation, but I didn't expect them to be thinking about researching Martial Soul. They're not leaving any way out for others."

"Hehe, Sister Yi, I think a true Soul Master should also be a knowledgeable Theoretical Grandmaster. He not only needs to understand his own Martial Soul, but also needs to understand all kinds of knowledge. At least he must understand the relevant content of the major category to which his own Martial Soul belongs."

Zhou Qing shared his opinion. "Those who only know how to use force to intimidate others are nothing but brutes."

"I feel offended by you." Xiao Wu narrowed her eyes, her tone Youyou.

"Ahem, haven't you been reading books in the Library lately?" Zhou Qing blinked and complimented, "Our beautiful and generous Sister Xiao Wu can now have another adjective added to her name: smart!"

"Although you're flattering me, I feel like there's something a little off about what you're saying," Xiao Wu said suspiciously, tilting her head unconsciously, trying to see the true meaning behind Zhou Qing's words from another angle.

Don't overthink it, they're just complimenting you.

Noticing that Xiao Wu was becoming increasingly clever, and to prevent her rationality from taking over at this moment, Zhou Qing immediately changed the subject, "Speaking of which, didn't you want to spar with Sister Yi?"

"That's right!"

When it came to sparring, Xiao Wu's attention was indeed diverted. She pulled Bu Yi and ran out of the Library, saying, "Come on, Sister Yi, let's go to the playground and let me see just how strong you really are now."

"I think it's best if I don't use my Martial Soul..."

"Rest assured!"

Before Bu Yi could finish speaking, Xiao Wu interrupted her with her loud voice, "Anyway, you're already forcing the 'fetus' to work, so it doesn't matter if it's one more day or one less day!"

Bu Yi was speechless: "￣^￣||"

"Alright, the troublemakers are gone. Now let's do something fun." After Xiao Wu and Bu Yi's voices faded away, Zhou Qing's gaze fell on Romantina.

"Something interesting!?"

Romantina's face flushed red in an instant, two puffs of hot air came out of her nostrils, she hugged her shoulders tightly, and her whole body trembled.

"Did you unleash your animalistic instincts?"

"How dare you covet my body!"

"She's only six years old, but her body is already almost as developed as mine... Is she already controlled by the instinct to reproduce?"

"This is my first time!"

"After that fleshy worm invaded my mind, are you going to take over my body?"

"······"

Romantina spewed out all sorts of outrageous and witty remarks, her voice quite loud, yet she didn't even bother to get up from her seat. Her flushed cheeks and her eyes revealed Sisi trembling excitement.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, turned her head and left, not wanting to waste any more words with him, and simply said, "Let's talk about it after you've calmed down."

"No!"

Romantina jumped up from her seat and called out to Zhou Qing, "I just thought you were being too serious just now, so I wanted to lighten the mood a bit and help you relax."

"There's absolutely no need for that."

Zhou Qing turned around and stared at Romantina's still gently trembling body for a while, his expression solemn.

"Where were you looking just now?" Romantina hurriedly covered her chest. "Your eyes were so lewd! Xiao Wu was right, you're a little pervert!"

"No way!"

Zhou Qing paused, then immediately denied it righteously, but two faint blushes appeared on her cheeks.

Fleeting.

Romantina, with her sharp eyes, noticed it. A smile played on her lips as she released her arms from her chest, her cheeks slightly flushed. She said, "Such a hypocritical attitude is truly... Surging Heart."

The last half of the sentence was spoken very softly, but it could be clearly heard in the Library.

Zhou Qing: "... Let's get down to business. Regarding your Soul Skill, Spiritual Detection, is it now able to store the detected information in the Martial Soul Brain?"

"Okay." Romantina also dropped her exaggerated expression, her eyes becoming serious. "I've just realized that my brain..."

"Martial Soul Brain," Zhou Qing Righteous Path, maintaining a rigorous attitude.

"Yes, yes~ it's the Martial Soul Brain, my own brain is rather slow." Romantina wasn't upset by this; after all, acknowledging one's own intellectual shortcomings was a commendable quality of a knight, and being implied to be slow was a relief—

After secretly glancing at Zhou Qing, who was already in a daze, he immediately coughed twice and continued, "My Martial Soul Brain possesses unparalleled memory..."
