Dormitory Seven Goes Into Overdrive, and Yu Xiaogang Wants Another Freebie?

"Work hard. I believe you can definitely do it."

Lin Dagui patted Chen Hu on the shoulder and offered encouragement.

"Oh, right! Ye Yu, what level are you now?"

Noticing that Ye Yu had not said anything, Lin Dagui could not help looking at him curiously.

He had originally wanted to keep a low profile.

But since he had been asked, Ye Yu thought it over and decided not to hide it.

Everyone would find out during tomorrow's test anyway.

"I should be Level 4."

"What?!"

For a moment, all of Dormitory Seven was stunned.

"No way! Ye Yu, isn't your martial soul Blue Silver Grass with Innate Level 1 Spirit Power?"

"Logically, with a martial soul that only has Innate Level 1 Spirit Power, even in the first year, you should only be able to improve by two levels at most!"

"How did you manage to rise by three levels?!"

Lin Dagui asked in utter disbelief.

Ye Yu smiled.

"Maybe it's because I work harder. While you all run around playing every afternoon, I'm cultivating."

"When you meditate for a while at night before going to sleep, I'm cultivating too."

"On average, I probably cultivate four or five hours more than you every day. Isn't it normal for me to improve a little more?"

That was what he said aloud.

But in truth, Ye Yu understood.

The main reason he cultivated so quickly was the Inner Elixir Method and the natural Mimic Training Ground provided by his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

And he had not just broken through to Level 4.

He had broken through Level 4 more than three months ago.

After hearing Ye Yu's words, the work-study students in Dormitory Seven could not help feeling a little ashamed.

That seemed right too!

We spent much of our afternoons running around and playing.

But Ye Yu cultivated diligently every afternoon.

At night, he cultivated more than an hour longer than us every day too.

Over the course of a year.

Just from the extra time at night, he cultivated more than two weeks longer than us!

Before, everyone mostly played in the afternoons.

Only at night did they all cultivate diligently.

But they had not expected someone as insanely competitive as Ye Yu to appear!

It would have been fine if Ye Yu had only risen by two levels of Soul Power.

But he had broken the first-year cultivation record among the work-study students.

He had risen by three levels!

This immediately gave the work-study students, who were all older than Ye Yu, a powerful sense of crisis.

If Ye Yu overtook them and became the boss of Dormitory Seven.

Where would they put their faces then?

Wang Sheng felt the same way.

His martial soul was the War Tiger, and he had Innate Level 2 Spirit Power.

Because of what Ye Yu had said before, he had always believed that he would definitely succeed Lin Dagui as the boss of Dormitory Seven in the future.

But now, Ye Yu looked like he was about to catch up to him.

That would not do!

Thus, under Ye Yu's influence.

The entirety of Dormitory Seven began to go all out.

And during the final Soul Power test of the term exams.

Ye Yu's tested Soul Power Level was actually Level 4.

When he had enrolled, his martial soul certificate had listed his Innate Soul Power as Level 1.

That meant Ye Yu had risen by a full three levels in one year!

This was undoubtedly an exceptionally outstanding result.

Therefore, Ye Yu naturally received the five Gold Soul Coin scholarship awarded to Class 2 of the first year.

And after the final exams.

Ye Yu welcomed a three-month holiday.

But to Ye Yu.

A holiday merely meant having more time to cultivate!

As a Blue Silver Grass soul master with Innate Level 1 Spirit Power, he could only make up for his lack of soul master talent through hard work.

During the three-month holiday.

Ye Yu successfully broke through to Level 5 Soul Power.

But during this time, Great Master Yu Xiaogang also learned that Ye Yu had actually achieved the result of rising three levels of Soul Power in a single year.

A Blue Silver Grass soul master who rose three levels of Soul Power in one year?

Yu Xiaogang could not help feeling puzzled and curious about how Ye Yu had managed such a result.

After all, he had stayed at Nuoding Academy for quite a few years.

He had seen many students with Innate Level 1 Spirit Power, and these students generally could only rise by two levels at most in their first year.

Even then, that was only for those whose Innate Soul Power was more like Level 1.5, relatively high among those at Level 1.

As for the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Yu Xiaogang had investigated five or six hundred soul masters with Blue Silver Grass martial souls, and only sixteen possessed Soul Power.

Among those sixteen Blue Silver Grass soul masters with Soul Power, not a single one exceeded Level 1 Soul Power.

Ye Yu had Innate Level 1 Spirit Power.

But in Yu Xiaogang's view, it was most likely only around Level 0.8, with Spirit Hall rounding it up.

With such inferior talent.

It should have been impossible for him to rise by three levels in a year!

Yu Xiaogang narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering. His instincts told him.

There was probably a secret here!

January 1st, Douluo Era 2633.

It was the day Nuoding Academy reopened.

This year, Ye Yu was entering his second year.

After arriving at Nuoding Academy and completing his registration.

Ye Yu carried the new bedding he had brought from home and headed toward Dormitory Seven.

Since he lived in Nuoding City.

Ye Yu had arrived fairly early.

After making his bed.

He noticed that no one else had come yet.

Ye Yu prepared to head to the back mountain of Nuoding Academy to find a patch of Blue Silver Grass and cultivate.

But just as he turned to leave the dormitory.

A familiar figure walked in.

It was a middle-aged man wearing a black scholar's robe, with a close-cropped haircut, a face full of stubble, and stiff features. He stood with his hands behind his back, wearing an indifferent expression.

"Master!"

Ye Yu had not expected Yu Xiaogang to come again. He frowned, feeling irritated inside.

Why did I have to run into this disgusting thing first thing in the morning?

But outwardly, Ye Yu still politely addressed him as Master.

"Ye Yu!"

Yu Xiaogang forced a faint smile onto his stiff face and said.

"I heard that you rose three levels of Soul Power in one year last year and received the scholarship for Class 2 of the first year. Congratulations!"

"You flatter me, Master!"

The moment Ye Yu heard Yu Xiaogang's words, he immediately understood.

This guy had probably heard that he had risen three levels in one year and wanted him to provide more data again.

"Ye Yu! For a Blue Silver Grass soul master with Innate Level 1 Spirit Power to rise three levels in one year."

"That is practically impossible according to my research."

"Can you tell me exactly how you did it?"

After opening with that, Yu Xiaogang immediately took it for granted and got straight to the point, pressing for an answer.

But Ye Yu obviously did not want to tell Yu Xiaogang.

Even the easily anticipated natural Blue Silver Grass martial soul Mimic Training Ground.

That information might one day be something he could pass down to his family.

Why should he tell an annoying person for no reason?

"Hmm, maybe I just cultivate more diligently."

Ye Yu thought for a moment and pretended to ponder as he spoke.

"Everyone's talent is actually better than mine, but they are somewhat lax."

"For example, many people spend their afternoons playing, while I keep cultivating diligently."

"At night, I also go to bed later than everyone else and cultivate for more than an extra hour."

"I think that might be why!"

But upon hearing this, displeasure appeared on Yu Xiaogang's stiff face.
