Qin Ming and Xiao Zhan reached a consensus on how to cultivate Su Wen.

Qin Ming would be responsible for Soul Power cultivation, while Xiao Zhan would be responsible for Martial Soul development.

"Oh, right, Teacher Qin, you should be breaking through to Rank Sixty soon, right?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Qin Ming had already reached Rank Fifty-Nine several months ago.

However, getting stuck at this bottleneck for one or even two years was entirely possible.

So saying Qin Ming was about to break through to Rank Sixty was not quite accurate.

"I've only just reached Rank Fifty-Nine, and my Soul Power growth hasn't even reached its limit yet. I'm still far from Rank Sixty," Qin Ming said, shaking his head.

"Your Blazing Fire Wolf is also Fire Attribute. When you have time, you can come exchange insights with me. It might help you break through to Soul Emperor," Xiao Zhan said.

Qin Ming was pleasantly surprised and expressed his gratitude.

"Junior Su, what exactly is going on with your Soul Power recovery speed?"

Yu Tianheng cared a great deal about Su Wen's terrifying endurance.

After all, that was exactly where he had lost, and right now he very much wanted to figure out the answer.

Although Dugu Yan had already been giving him looks to indicate that this was a Soul Master's private matter, Yu Tianheng clearly had not noticed, nor did he have that sort of consideration in mind.

Su Wen did not really try to hide it.

"Because of the traits of my Martial Soul."

He came up with it easily.

With Xiao Zhan, he had spun a reason about having strong Spiritual Power, and it was actually quite close to the truth. But with Yu Tianheng, Su Wen obviously could not just hand over his foundations right away.

Behind the other party stood the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Given Yu Tianheng's personality, he would probably report everything back.

Pushing it all onto his Martial Soul's traits was the best option.

That way, even his Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring would subconsciously make people think it was due to Su Wen's Martial Soul traits.

Or rather, his Martial Soul had transformed and developed such traits because of this Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring.

And if it could transform and develop such traits, then what exactly had happened during the process of absorbing the Second Soul Ring?

Tracing things backward step by step would instead lead people in another direction.

"Oh, right, Junior Su, what exactly is going on with your Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring?"

Not a single one of the seven was not curious about Su Wen's Second Soul Ring.

But after the battle, for a moment, none of them had remembered to ask right away.

After Yu Tianheng asked, the others also came back to their senses.

Dugu Yan also wanted to ask, but because Yu Tianheng's previous question had already been rather presumptuous, and this question about the Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring was even more presumptuous, she was too embarrassed to speak first.

Yu Feng, however, was very natural about it and asked directly.

"That was just good luck. At the time, what I absorbed was an Illusion Spirit Fox, and there was a mistake in judging its age."

"Huh?"

Yu Feng was extremely shocked.

A mistake in judging the age of a soul beast?

That was a major taboo when obtaining a soul ring.

But when the soul ring appeared, a Thousand Year Soul Ring was purple.

Surely that could not be judged wrong, right?

Killing the wrong one was one thing, but did you really just recklessly absorb it like that?

"Well, it was already dead. After going through all that effort, I couldn't exactly waste it, could I?"

The seven members of the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team looked at Su Wen with somewhat strange expressions.

It was already dead.

What kind of devilish reasoning was that?

"At the time, I also felt that soul ring would be beneficial to me, so I absorbed it directly." Su Wen described his mental state at the time as reckless.

After all, many people had this kind of arrogant idea of challenging themselves by absorbing a Thousand Year Soul Ring as their Second Soul Ring.

Normally, they could still behave themselves under their teachers' warnings. But when they were truly in that situation, and they just so happened to have spent great effort hunting down one that had just happened to reach a thousand years, with the easiest kind of Thousand Year Soul Ring to absorb right in front of them, who could truly stay rational?

Su Wen was simply the lucky one!

When Qin Ming heard them discussing this, he stepped forward to interrupt and urged the seven not to recklessly try it, while also warning Su Wen very sternly.

"Teacher Qin, don't worry. I was also acting on impulse at the time. If my Martial Soul hadn't undergone Martial Soul Mutation during the process of absorbing the soul ring, I wouldn't have been able to hold on either." A trace of lingering fear flashed through Su Wen's eyes.

That trace of lingering fear was real.

At the time, when he had absorbed a Thousand Year Soul Ring above his level, although he had a theory to rely on, he had still overestimated his own Physical Fitness.

He had thought it was only a soul ring barely over a thousand years old, and that absorbing it would be absolutely no problem. He would even have dared to challenge one that was twelve or thirteen hundred years old.

But reality proved that a soul ring barely past the thousand-year mark had nearly made him burst.

His physical fitness had been greatly strengthened by Monkey Wine, his meridians had been greatly reinforced, and with his control over his Martial Soul Space and his technique for accelerating the soul ring's Soul Power as it seeped into the Martial Soul Space, all those boosts together had only just allowed him to endure it.

So the lingering fear was real. Su Wen was glad that what had appeared back then was a Three-Eyed Illusion Spirit Fox barely over a thousand years old, not a soul beast twelve or thirteen hundred years old.

"Martial Soul Mutation?"

When the others heard Su Wen's words, they all came to a sudden understanding.

In today's Soul Master World, one of the greatest problems was Martial Soul mutation. Hearing that the key to Su Wen successfully absorbing this Thousand Year Soul Ring was that his Martial Soul had just happened to mutate, they all expressed understanding.

"I'm so jealous of you," Osler said with a sigh.

This kind of mutation was clearly a beneficial one.

And with a Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring, he had taken off outright.

He was already ahead of Soul Masters of the same level from his second ring onward, and that advantage would only snowball more and more in the future.

Once the topic of the Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring ended, the seven of them also began discussing Su Wen's abilities.

"Junior Su, your Wind Element Control methods really are amazing." Yu Feng admired him the most. "How long did you train at it?"

Yu Feng, who was already a three-ring Soul Elder, was still inferior to Su Wen in this regard, which was indeed a little awkward. However, although his Soul Skill was related to Wind Element Control, it attached wind elements to his wings to form wind blades. Being able to develop wind blades that could be swung out at range was already the result of training under Qin Ming's guidance.

"Haha, Senior Yu Feng, this is very simple. Actually, once you grasp the trick, you can learn it very quickly."

"Is that so?" Yu Feng asked doubtfully.

He was puzzled inside. Could it be that he had been going in the wrong direction when training?

"Of course. If you want to learn, I'll teach you," Su Wen said generously.

Yu Feng shook his head instead and said, "Forget it. My Soul Skill ultimately isn't suited for it. If I keep practicing, I'll get half the result for twice the effort."

He knew very well that Su Wen learned quickly because his Soul Skill suited that direction. His own Soul Skill attached wind elements to his wings, so developing a technique to send wind blades flying out at range deviated too far from it.

If he wanted to develop in that direction, it would instead be better to obtain a ranged Wind Attribute attack Soul Skill in the future. Only then would it feel natural to develop it further.

"Still, there's no problem with the two of us exchanging some insights," Yu Feng said.

As they talked with one another, Ye Lingling also healed everyone's injuries, including Su Wen's poisoning.

Looking at the pink begonia flower Ye Lingling held in both hands, Su Wen sighed with emotion. "Senior Lingling, the healing effect of your Nine Heart Begonia really is incredible."

He suspected that at least thirty percent of Heaven Dou Royal Academy's training results could not be separated from Ye Lingling.
