Six Styles (A Newcomer Begs for Votes!!! TvT)

As for this question, after calming down from her Martial Soul Awakening, Huo Rui could clearly feel that she was more energetic and full of vitality than before.

"Yes, that's true." Huo Rui nodded in agreement.

"Then my deduction was correct. Rapid blood flow really does make people far more energetic. You get a similar feeling when you run faster than usual.

"It may not seem like much, but for someone like you, whose Heart Martial Soul has awakened, as long as you train diligently, you'll be able to control this state yourself and use it to continuously strengthen your body.

"This Martial Soul's effect is much like certain Soul Skills that amplify one's condition. As long as you can control the intensity in the future, you'll also be able to control the degree to which your body is strengthened.

"Based on my understanding of the human body, people can normally use only thirty percent of their physical strength. Once they exceed that limit, the body suffers damage. It's a self-protection mechanism.

"But once you master this amplification, your strength can reach three times, or even ten times, that of someone at the same level. This is your Innate Soul Skill, and proof that the Heart Martial Soul is a Super Martial Soul.

"If I didn't know a great deal about Martial Souls, an ordinary Soul Master might subconsciously overlook this talent entirely. If you cultivated the usual way, your future would probably be ruined for life."

Huo Rui found Ye Wen's explanation very convincing. This subtle enhancement might seem insignificant to powerful Soul Masters, but if even its owner overlooked it, then her future achievements would definitely be limited.

"Then, Master, how should I cultivate my Martial Soul?"

A confident smile appeared on Ye Wen's lips.

"Besides normal Soul Master cultivation, your main direction of training should be your physical body. Keep breaking through your body's limits, and your use of your Martial Soul will grow increasingly powerful.

"So what determines your future limit is how well you train your body. What you need to do now is find every possible way to exercise it, until you reach the point where you can no longer become stronger.

"Also, your master has prepared a surprise for you. When your Soul Power reaches level ten and your body has reached its limit, I'll tell you. So work hard, Xiao Rui. Your future is destined not to be weak."

Huo Rui nodded seriously. She had not felt this sense of having someone dependable to rely on for a long time, not since her father had died. She had now begun to obey Ye Wen's every word almost instinctively.

Moreover, through their time together these past few days, she had learned that Ye Wen was a serious and wise person. She could tell from the five village families who had attached themselves to his family; their faces bore peaceful smiles rarely seen among ordinary people at the bottom.

Time passed bit by bit.

Ye Wen also celebrated his tenth birthday and began preparing for school. During this time, Huo Rui displayed astonishing talent for physical training.

In just two short months, she had already reached the limit of her body. Ye Wen also discovered that Huo Rui recovered even faster after training than he did. According to his tests, Huo Rui now possessed eight hundred jin of strength, far surpassing the six-hundred-jin limit he had once had.

Unfortunately, her Innate Soul Power had been damaged, making her Soul Power cultivation somewhat slower. Over these past few months, she had only reached level eight and would need some more time before reaching the threshold of a Soul Master.

As for Lan Lan, with Ah Yin's assistance, she had directly broken through to level three in just two months. Though it was nothing worth mentioning to a genius like Ye Wen, it still meant she had promising prospects among ordinary Soul Masters.

Next, it was time to take these two little ones to Nuoding Academy.

After all, Ye Wen had not taught either of them the basic Soul Master knowledge. He had skipped straight to cultivation, mainly because it was too simple and he could not be bothered to teach it. It would be best if someone else could do it for him.

As for enrollment slots, Lan Lan used Golden Wheat Village's slot, while Huo Rui used Holy Soul Village's. Each village only had one Work-Study Student slot, but no village could guarantee that it would have a child successfully awaken Soul Power every year, so the slot could be lent to another village.

As for paying tuition, Ye Wen said that although he had one hundred thousand gold coins, that did not mean he could squander them freely. Mainly because he had been poor in his previous life too, so he saved where he could and took whatever benefits he could get.

Wasn't Ye Wen still collecting subsidies from Spirit Hall? No, that could not be called scamming. At this point, Ye Wen had not yet broken through to Soul Ancestor.

During the academy days that followed, everyone at the academy was surprised that Ye Wen had taken on two students at such a young age. But when they saw his height, which made him stand head and shoulders above the crowd, they all fell silent.

After all, being one meter seventy tall at only ten years old was simply absurd.

A few students even wanted to take Ye Wen as their master. There were nobles and commoners alike. After all, there was no order in learning; whoever had achieved mastery could be a teacher. They had also heard a little about how Xiao Lie, the City Lord's son, had improved by leaps and bounds.

And although Douluo Continent stipulated that a person could only take one teacher in their lifetime, their own connections would never get them a top-tier expert anyway. Having someone guide their cultivation was already good enough.

However, Ye Wen rejected them all on the grounds that he was too busy cultivating. On one hand, he looked down on their aptitude. On the other, their backgrounds were far too complicated. If he accidentally exposed his secrets while teaching them, it would be over.

During this period, Ye Wen also made time to teach Huo Rui some combat techniques and had two small knives custom-made for her. Her Martial Soul had practically no offensive power in its early stages, so she mainly had to rely on skill in battle.

As Ye Wen's control over Soul Power became increasingly proficient, he once again developed the idea of creating his own Soul Skills.

However, he immediately passed on anything too difficult.

Combining his knowledge of the body's acupoints with Soul Power control, Ye Wen eventually came up with a Douluo version of the Six Styles, along with tree-climbing and water-walking.

Pierce the Point, Break the Surface · Finger Gun

Body Enhancement · Steel Style (P.S. Iron Body sounded too awful. This Steel Style was similar to Armament Haki—you could strengthen whichever part you wanted, without having to enter a stiffened state all at once.)

High-Speed Movement · Flash Step

Brief Midair Suspension · Moonwalk

Gale Leg Technique · Tempest Kick

Body Transformation at Will · Life Return

Other than the final Life Return, these were basically copied wholesale from the Pirate World's Navy Six Styles. Paper Arts and the like were simply too unreasonable. There were similar moves in martial arts, such as the Willow Catkin Movement Technique, but compared with the Pirate World's Paper Arts, they were still far inferior.

Life Return was merely an idea. Ye Wen did not have the ability to master it, but he did pass the concept on to Huo Rui. Huo Rui was greatly shocked upon hearing it and felt that it seemed feasible.

After all, controlling the body was her specialty. As her cultivation grew deeper in the future, perhaps that seemingly unattainable Life Return could truly be realized one day.

The other five Self-Created Soul Skills, however, were treasures in Huo Rui's eyes. Unfortunately, her cultivation was still too weak, and she would be spent after using them only a few times.

As for tree-climbing and water-walking, the principles were very simple. It was just that no one in the Douluo World had thought of them, so Huo Rui quickly got the hang of them too.
