A New Stage (Please Bookmark!!!)

Reviewing everything he had learned, Su Wen continuously adjusted his condition, sensing the changes in the effects of his cultivation.

It had to be said that Enhanced Perception was enormously beneficial to Su Wen's cultivation.

Although it did not directly contribute much to his strength, it provided extraordinary assistance to his research into cultivation.

Su Wen opened his eyes and let out a breath.

"Good. As long as I'm genuinely reviewing properly, the buff can reach its optimal effect."

Even if he did not gain any new insights through review, he was still seriously thinking and earnestly understanding the knowledge he had learned before.

Books were records.

Records existed to keep things from being lost.

Therefore, reviewing itself also embodied the characteristics of his Martial Soul.

Su Wen felt that his understanding of the Acting Method was growing ever more thorough.

At the same time, he did not find this troublesome at all. On the contrary, he thought it could not be better.

Reviewing existing knowledge.

He did not even need to consciously review it himself. There were direct targets and cultivation speed requirements pushing him from behind.

While completing tasks, he could also think over and explore new theories. Perhaps someday, inspiration would strike, and he would establish another theory helpful to cultivation.

Feeling the efficiency of cultivation was not so easy either. Even with Enhanced Perception, Su Wen needed to cultivate seriously for a period of time before he could see the results.

The process of initially figuring out the various techniques of the Acting Method lasted a full three days.

During those three days, Su Wen practiced Flame Fist with Xiao Zhan during the day and cultivated Internal Energy at night.

As for external training, he worked it into his daytime Flame Fist practice.

On his sixth day at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Old Jerry's Little Sweet Potatoes have finally arrived."

Su Wen had missed the taste of Little Sweet Potatoes terribly.

"Although my overall cultivation speed was actually faster during these past few months without Little Sweet Potatoes, that was only because I had Monkey Wine as an aid."

For truly regular cultivation, he still needed Little Sweet Potatoes.

After taking the Little Sweet Potatoes back to his dormitory, Su Wen read Old Jerry's letter and was pleasantly surprised.

"Monkey Wine works quite well for Old Jerry."

Back then, he had mailed twenty jin of Monkey Wine to Old Jerry. Three months had now passed, and Old Jerry had directly risen by one level!

One level in three months, and still within the Soul Master Stage—at Su Wen's age, that would make someone a genius. At Old Jerry's age?

That was even more astonishing.

After all, Soul Masters at Su Wen's age were still growing. Physical growth would drive the growth of Spiritual Power and Soul Power, and cultivation was much less difficult as well, because nothing had fully taken shape yet.

But Old Jerry was already old.

Even so, he had managed to break through one level in three months. This showed just how effective Monkey Wine was for him.

Old Jerry had obtained his First Soul Ring a year ago, and his Soul Power had directly reached Level 12. Over the following year, he rose two levels in the first nine months and one level in the last three. He was now a Level 15 Soul Master.

Three levels in a year was already a very respectable rate.

This was also the result of Old Jerry having only recently become proficient in the Cultivation Method.

Not every Soul Master possessed Su Wen's talent and could swiftly get started with Internal Energy.

The operation of the many Meridians involved in Internal Energy required more than just knowing their locations; they also had to be explored. Everyone's body was different. Even if a Cultivation Method was taught, it could at most provide approximate locations. The learner still had to experiment on their own to find the corresponding Meridian within their body.

When Old Jerry had broken through back then, he had merely completed one full circulation. He had only completed the main cycle that formed the loop and had not yet mastered the circulation of the other Meridians.

Only with Monkey Wine's assistance had Old Jerry completely mastered the Internal Energy Su Wen had left him.

"If he can maintain a rate of three levels a year, Old Jerry might have a chance to break through to Level 20 within two years," Su Wen said with feeling.

"Uncle Zhan, what are we practicing today?"

Xiao Zhan looked at Su Wen, whose desire to learn remained vigorous, and felt slightly helpless.

"Xiao Wen, your talent has exceeded my expectations. I've already taught you all the techniques I can teach," he said with a wry smile.

Su Wen's learning ability was truly too strong.

Especially when it came to techniques for circulating Soul Power or controlling flames, Su Wen could master them very quickly.

"What you need now is constant repetitive training, until all of this becomes instinctive."

Su Wen had already completely mastered Flame Fist, the technique of integrating flames into his fists. What he lacked now was simply acclimation.

"But Uncle Zhan, I feel that Flame Fist's power is a bit..." Su Wen felt that its power was insufficient.

Xiao Zhan said, "Of course it isn't enough. The true damage of Flame Fist still depends on compressing and drawing out the potential of the flames."

It was not only Flame Fist. Xiao Zhan's many Self-Created Soul Skills all relied on compressing and drawing out the potential of flames, fully exploiting their explosive nature while continuously compressing them to produce explosive damage.

The difference from Flame Fist lay only in the methods and techniques used to apply those continuously compressed explosive flames.

Rather than saying Flame Fist was his Self-Created Soul Skill, it was more accurate to say that the entire system of compressing and tapping into flames, along with the techniques for wielding them, was his Self-Created Soul Skill.

This was a complete system.

"I'm also practicing Flame Compression at the same time, but I still can't compress and integrate it simultaneously," Su Wen said in confusion.

"That's right. It takes adaptation. You need to keep practicing, using this acquired method to improve your natural affinity for flames—or obtain more soul rings in the future and continue acquiring Fire Attribute soul rings."

Su Wen's mouth twitched.

So in the end, it still came down to how much his body could endure.

He just had to keep compressing flames, digging out their explosive nature, and then unleash even greater power.

What was the difference between that and the King Kai Fist?

Still, Xiao Zhan had likely developed it to the point where it remained his trump card even at the Soul Saint level.

"Of course, aside from your control over flames, you also have Wind Element Control." Xiao Zhan had not forgotten the other element controlled by Su Wen's Second Soul Skill. Rubbing his chin with one hand, he said, "I can't teach you much about Wind Element Control, but you can't neglect it either."

He himself had stumbled onto the path of Fire Element Control by chance. Later, he had wanted to add other elements as support, but he had failed.

In order to minimize the losses from failing to gain elemental affinity, his Fifth Soul Ring had come from a soul beast with both wind and fire attributes.

Then he had failed, gaining only improved affinity for fire, along with the Fire Demon Overlord Body.

Of course, it was also the Fire Demon Overlord Body granted by his Fifth Soul Ring that had gradually led him away from the path of a mage.

Wind fueled fire, and fire borrowed the force of wind.

The two elements complemented one another. If they could be developed together, the power they produced would surely be even more terrifying.

Su Wen nodded.

He had not forgotten his control over the wind element either.

At the same time, he had always held expectations for developing the wind element.

"If nothing unexpected happens, developing a flight ability through Wind Element Control shouldn't be too difficult for me."
