"Innate Full Soul Power?!"
Hearing the male teacher's words, the children in the classroom were even more shocked.
Innate Full Soul Power was the most top-tier talent among Soul Masters. Even across the entirety of Douluo Continent, Soul Masters whose initial Soul Power reached Innate Full Soul Power were exceedingly rare. Yet Nuoding Academy had unexpectedly produced two Innate Full Soul Power students at once. It was truly astonishing.
"Hehe, actually, our classmate Xiao Wu also has Innate Full Soul Power. Three students with Innate Full Soul Power enrolling at the same time—this is truly an honor for Nuoding Academy!"
Seeing the stunned expressions on the children's faces, the male teacher chuckled and dealt them another blow.
"Three Innate Full Soul Powers..."
Upon hearing the male teacher say that Xiao Wu also possessed Innate Full Soul Power, all the children felt like coughing up three liters of blood once again.
"Xiao Wu..."
Hearing that Xiao Wu also had Innate Full Soul Power, Tang San looked at her in considerable surprise.
"Alright, stop making noise. The reason I'm telling you this is to let you know that there is always someone stronger, and a higher sky beyond the sky.
"My purpose is to help you find someone to chase after, so that you can cultivate diligently and catch up—not to make you wallow in self-pity. No one can decide how high their Innate Soul Power is, but you can improve your acquired Soul Power Level through hard work."
Looking at the noisy students below, the male teacher frowned.
"Alright, now Bai Ge and Tang San, please demonstrate your Spirit Skills for everyone!"
"Huh?"
Seeing the teacher suddenly turn toward him and invite him to demonstrate the Spirit Skill he had obtained, Bai Ge was a little dumbfounded. Why didn't this teacher follow the usual script?!
However, Bai Ge did not refuse. He agreed and walked up beside the podium.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Bai Ge. My Martial Soul is the Cloud-Soaring Vine. This time, in the Soul Hunting Forest, the Spirit Ring I obtained came from a plant Spirit Beast called the Blood Pattern Black Thorn Vine. The Spirit Skill I gained is a strangling skill. Let me demonstrate it for you."
Standing beside the podium, Bai Ge introduced his Martial Soul before slowly extending his right hand.
As Bai Ge stretched out his right hand, several Black-Purple Vines covered in Thorns immediately grew from it and spread across the ground in an instant. Under Bai Ge's control, the Cloud-Soaring Vine shot straight toward the leg of an unoccupied desk and tightly coiled around it.
Seeing the Cloud-Soaring Vine's sharp Thorns sink deeply into the desk leg, while shattered chunks and splinters of wood continuously fell from it as the vine constricted, the children nearby immediately backed away in fear.
"Not bad. Very powerful. Blood Pattern Black Thorn Vine, was it? An excellent Spirit Ring choice!"
Unlike the terrified children in the classroom, the male teacher applauded approvingly.
After Bai Ge finished displaying his Martial Soul and Spirit Skill, Tang San also went onstage to demonstrate his Evolved Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. However, the response naturally could not compare with Bai Ge's.
Compared to Bai Ge's Cloud-Soaring Vine Martial Soul, which had become incomparably vicious after Absorbing the Blood Pattern Black Thorn Vine Spirit Ring, Tang San's Evolved Blue Silver Grass still seemed far too "gentle."
After Bai Ge and Tang San finished displaying their Martial Souls, the male teacher began the regular lesson.
However, the Martial Soul Meditation Method taught by the male teacher was simply far too inferior compared to the Jade Brightness Skill. Bai Ge had no interest in learning it at all, so while the male teacher lectured from the podium, Bai Ge simply took out the Compendium of Martial Soul Theory he had received from Grandmaster and silently began reading.
Just like that, class ended quickly.
Nuoding Academy was very different from the modern schools Bai Ge had attended in his previous life. Although Nuoding Academy was strict in both management and teaching, its schedule was unexpectedly relaxed. There were only two classes each morning and evening, each lasting a little over half a shichen. In the morning, there was one cultural class and one class related to Martial Soul knowledge. In the afternoon, students cultivated on their own, while the rest of their time was freely arranged.
After class, Bai Ge and Tang San did not head to the Cafeteria like most of the others. Instead, they prepared to leave the academy and visit the Spirit Hall in Nuoding City.
The two had two main purposes for going to Spirit Hall. One was to register as Soul Masters.
As long as they registered as Soul Masters at Spirit Hall, they could receive a subsidy of one Gold Soul Coin every month. Bai Ge could not Earn Money that much even after sweeping the academy gardens for an entire year.
The second purpose was to test their Soul Power while they were there. On their way back, Bai Ge also planned to see whether Nuoding City had any High-End Restaurants.
Bai Ge needed to regularly consume large amounts of meat to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, replenishing his essence and converting it into Qi and Blood. Without enough money to buy meat, it would likely be difficult for him to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill smoothly. Furthermore, if he could Earn Money, Bai Ge also planned to see whether he could rent a place outside.
To be honest, Bai Ge felt that Nuoding Academy was not particularly helpful to him. If not for Grandmaster, Bai Ge might have needed Nuoding Academy to learn about matters related to Soul Masters. But now that he had taken Grandmaster as his teacher, Grandmaster's guidance meant Bai Ge had no need to learn Soul Master knowledge through Nuoding Academy.
Bai Ge had actually thought about this carefully.
In Bai Ge's view, Soul Master cultivation was like the cultivation methods he had read about in novels from his previous life. Both required four conditions: method, companions, wealth, and location!
Of these, the most important was the method—the way to cultivate Soul Power.
However, because Bai Ge possessed the Jade Brightness Skill and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, his Jade Brightness Skill utterly surpassed the meditation methods used by almost everyone on Douluo Continent when it came to cultivating Soul Power. Thus, in terms of cultivation methods, Bai Ge had already reached the pinnacle.
As for companions, it did not mean lovers. It referred to fellow cultivators who could train together, help one another, and advance hand in hand—like Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Then came wealth, which was the second most important thing to Bai Ge.
Because Spiritual Energy on Douluo Continent was abundant, Bai Ge's Jade Brightness Skill progressed very smoothly before he reached a bottleneck. But the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was different. As a Body Refining Technique, what it needed most was resources.
Previously, Bai Ge had happened to absorb the energy within a four-hundred-and-thirty-year Blood Pattern Black Thorn Vine Spirit Ring, allowing his Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to Break Through to the second level. But Spirit Rings could not be absorbed whenever he wanted; they could only be absorbed once every ten levels. Therefore, relying on Absorbing Spirit Rings to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was simply unrealistic. In daily life, Bai Ge could only cultivate step by step.
But that was Not Necessarily the case, because Bai Ge had previously experienced using the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to convert Jade Brightness Skill True Qi into Qi and Blood while unconscious.
Since he had been in the midst of Absorbing a Spirit Ring at the time, Bai Ge had not been sure whether what the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill absorbed was Soul Power from the Spirit Ring or truly Jade Brightness Skill True Qi. Thus, not long ago, while riding back in the carriage, Bai Ge tried again.
To his surprise, he found that he really could convert Jade Brightness Skill True Qi into Qi and Blood. This counted as a method Bai Ge had found to accelerate his Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill cultivation.
Moreover, Bai Ge discovered that this could not only reduce the difficulty of cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, but also increase the cultivation speed of the Jade Brightness Skill.
After Bai Ge converted all the Jade Brightness Skill True Qi Within the body into Qi and Blood to strengthen his body, the total amount of Jade Brightness Skill True Qi that later regenerated Within the body was actually somewhat greater than before the conversion.
As for the reason behind this, Bai Ge guessed that once the Jade Brightness Skill True Qi was completely exhausted, it experienced a rebound from rock bottom.
However, Bai Ge could not be entirely certain. To verify this conclusion, he would need to conduct several more experiments when he had the time.
But consuming Soul Power this way also caused a problem: he would quickly feel hungry.
In a sense, Soul Power was also a form of energy reserve in the human body. After Bai Ge Turned It Into Qi and Blood, it was like converting nutrients Within the body into muscle. Without nutrients left for the body to consume, it would naturally feel hungry.
So if he cultivated this way, Bai Ge would definitely become a massive eater.
The ten Copper Soul Coins he earned each day from cleaning the academy gardens would definitely be nowhere near enough. Even adding the monthly subsidy from Spirit Hall after registering as a Soul Master would still be a struggle. Therefore, Bai Ge needed a new source of income.
If Grandmaster Culinary Skill could truly bring Bai Ge enough income and allow him to establish himself in Nuoding City, then Bai Ge planned to immediately apply for graduation.
Nuoding Academy was only a Primary Soul Master Academy to begin with, and the requirement for graduating from a Primary Soul Master Academy was becoming a Soul Master. Thus, Bai Ge had actually already met the graduation requirement.
But because Bai Ge had taken Grandmaster as his teacher, Grandmaster would definitely have Bai Ge and Tang San cultivate together until they reached their twenties before applying to Shrek Academy. Therefore, before then, Grandmaster would surely still have them remain at Nuoding Academy.
But if Bai Ge could find a cultivation plan more suitable for himself, Grandmaster certainly would not force the matter.
Now, the cultivation plan in Bai Ge's heart had already taken shape. Next, it depended on whether the most important money-making plan would succeed!
