Xue Wu: "Teacher, I'm Ready!"

"Teacher, I'm ready!"

Soon, Chen Yue returned to his office after class. Xue Wu was sitting on the sofa, seriously reading through some theories Chen Yue had written over the past two days. In truth, they were merely teaching materials he had compiled himself for the current class.

When she saw Chen Yue return, Xue Wu stood up. "Let's start training!"

The more she read those materials, the more excited she became. If one day she could be like Chen Yue, with a three-thousand-year first soul ring... then forget the training camp team—throughout the entire Soul Master Competition, who could possibly stop Xue Wu's advance? ()

At that thought, Xue Wu grew even more impatient, her heart burning hot.

"Are you really alright?"

Chen Yue's gaze shifted downward, and he raised an eyebrow.

Perhaps because she had eaten too much, Xue Wu's belly was a little swollen. Fortunately, she was wearing a long, slender dress, or it would have been quite noticeable.

"Uh..."

A blush flashed across Xue Wu's face as she said softly, "Well, Teacher, this... this won't affect anything..."

Perhaps unconsciously, she felt that Chen Yue was her biological father. Though he did not know it, she had tacitly permitted certain things, such as him looking at her little belly?

Well, he can't possibly guess anything. It's not like he'd press his ear against it to listen, right?

That was what Xue Wu thought.

"Alright, then!"

Chen Yue nodded. Over the past two days, he had come to understand Xue Wu's personality fairly well. If he did not let her give it a try, she would definitely keep itching to do so. If she went alone and fainted inside, then drifted away and disappeared with the current, that would be troublesome.

"Great!"

Xue Wu was overjoyed. She hooked her arm around Chen Yue's, looking eager to get started.

Chen Yue, "..."

The jelly-like sensation against his arm made him extremely uncomfortable. Only then did he remember that Douluo Continent seemed not to have Bear Z? So it probably did not exist.

"Teacher, shall we go?"

Xue Wu tugged at Chen Yue. When she found that she could not pull him along, she froze for a moment, then looked up at the dazed Chen Yue with a confused expression.

"Oh, alright, let's go..."

Chen Yue came back to his senses and awkwardly touched his nose. As the sun set, the two headed toward the waterfall Chen Yue had discovered earlier.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The waterfall was especially quiet at night, with only the rushing sound of cascading water.

"As I told you before, the best way to train is actually to endure the pounding beneath this waterfall."

Chen Yue did not know whether this would actually work. He remembered that Tang San had tempered himself beneath one in the original story. This was a method passed down from the Sun God Douluo, so it should... work, right?

In any case, it did not matter whether it worked or not. Chen Yue was merely using this so-called training as a cover.

When he had modified and evolved Bibi Dong's martial soul back then, Chen Yue had truly burned away his lifespan to do it. If he had not used all that earlier training as a disguise, the Worship Hall would probably have captured him long ago and studied him piece by piece. How could he possibly have received all those treatments in previous years?

The thought flashed through his mind.

Chen Yue brought Xue Wu near the waterfall and quickly put together a changing room. He took out a swimsuit top and swim trunks, handing them to Xue Wu as he instructed, "Put these on. In a while, stand on that reef and feel the force of the waterfall. Remember, you cannot use Soul Power. Suppress the circulation of your Soul Power and concentrate it on protecting your stomach. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand!"
