Noticing a flicker of surprise cross Lu Lin's face, Si Yuan Ye raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "What is it? Do you know about Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber?"

Lu Lin knew just how precious Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber was. Even across the entire original story, only a few pieces had appeared.

Si Yuan Ye had actually gone all the way to the imperial family of the Heaven Dou Empire to obtain a piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber especially for him.

Even Lu Lin, with his composed nature, couldn't help feeling moved.

But "Ji Ming" was just a child who had only recently awakened his martial soul. There was no way he should know about Whale Rubber.

So Lu Lin shook his head. "This disciple doesn't know, but Teacher went all the way to the imperial family of the Heaven Dou Empire for it. I imagine this item must be very precious."

Hearing this, Si Yuan Ye nodded lightly and handed the Whale Rubber to Lu Lin.

"This item is indeed priceless. Its purpose is to improve your innate constitution."

Lu Lin, his face pale, instinctively reached out and held the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber in both hands.

Looking at Lu Lin, Si Yuan Ye continued, "Ji Ming, under normal circumstances, the theoretical limit for a soul master's first Soul Ring is around four hundred years.

"If they exceed that limit, they risk losing control or even dying suddenly."

"But you're different.

"Both your martial souls are excellent, especially your first one. Its physical qualities far surpass those of other martial souls at the same age and level.

"With further tempering through our Sect Secret Technique, along with this piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, I'm confident that we can raise the age of your First Soul Ring beyond two thousand years."

If anyone else heard Si Yuan Ye say this, they would surely find it unbelievable.

The common consensus in the outside world was that the best Soul Ring configuration for a Titled Douluo was two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

Si Yuan Ye's claim really was astonishing.

Lu Lin, however, thought it made perfect sense.

After all, this was precisely why he had chosen to enter the Body Sect with this avatar, Ji Ming.

Lu Lin lifted his head slightly and looked at Si Yuan Ye. "Thank you, Teacher. May I ask which martial soul I should attach my first Soul Ring to?"

Si Yuan Ye nodded lightly.

"Of course, the Body Sect prioritizes the Body Martial Soul.

"But your circumstances are special. I recommend that you focus on cultivating the Dark Demon Dreadclaw Bear first.

"Of course, you can cultivate your Body Martial Soul as well; you just don't need to attach any Soul Rings to it for now."

At this point, Si Yuan Ye paused, as if remembering something, and frowned.

"Right, Mo Yin said your physical condition was very unstable. Are you still feeling unwell?"

Lu Lin shook his head to show that he was fine now.

It was his main body that had a problem now.

Si Yuan Ye nodded lightly.

Mo Yin had said that he had examined Lu Lin's body with Soul Power and hadn't found anything wrong.

Besides, Lu Lin was inside the sect. If anything unexpected happened to Ji Ming, Si Yuan Ye was confident he could notice immediately and stabilize the situation.

He promptly stopped dwelling on the matter and looked at Lu Lin.

"All right. Spend some time stabilizing your Soul Power first.

"In a while, I'll teach you our Sect Secret Technique and have you take the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber."

"This disciple understands. Thank you, Teacher.

"But Teacher, please keep this piece of Whale Rubber for now. I don't feel comfortable holding on to it."

Hearing this, Si Yuan Ye chuckled and shook his head.

"It was a gift from your teacher in the first place. Just keep it. There's no need to feel uncomfortable."

Lu Lin had no choice but to nod and put away the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber.

A little earlier.

Star Luo Empire, Frostwind Junior Soul Master Academy.

"Uh, Lu Lin, what's wrong?"

A chubby boy of about six or seven, dressed in coarse hemp clothes, pushed open the dormitory door. The moment he saw Lu Lin curled up on the bed, he was startled.

Why did the kid look like he was about to die?

He'd been fine that morning.

The chubby boy grumbled to himself.

"I'm fine, but I might need you to ask for a leave of absence for me."

Lu Lin, his face completely devoid of color, struggled to say this to the chubby boy standing in the doorway.

Lu Lin felt terrible right now.

His avatar, Ji Ming, was holding up well enough, since his body had the foundation of Twin Martial Souls.

But his main body was another matter. It was already undernourished, and his Soul Power was only at level four. Even the first time he'd separated his consciousness and entered his avatar, he'd felt unwell.

Now he'd forcibly split his consciousness in two. The fact that he hadn't completely lost control was already a stroke of luck.

But after experiencing the strange perspective of one soul in two bodies, and finding that he could control his avatar and main body simultaneously as easily as moving his own limbs,

Lu Lin felt it was all worth it.

"Fine, I'll ask for the afternoon off for you. But are you really okay?"

Yao Yue stepped closer and looked at Lu Lin with concern.

"I'm really fine."

"All right."

Yao Yue reluctantly nodded, then took off running to find one of the academy's teachers.

Since Lu Lin was an orphan, he received government assistance that covered all his tuition and miscellaneous fees. Even his dormitory room was a double.

Yao Yue was a Work-Study Student and received similar assistance, so the two of them became roommates.

Compared with the six-person rooms the other children lived in, their situation was worlds apart.

Of course, the other students couldn't begrudge Lu Lin that. They still had parents, after all.

The only pity was that, based on two months of observation, Lu Lin had completely ruled out the possibility that Yao Xiaopang was a girl disguised as a boy,

because Yao Xiaopang had all the same equipment Lu Lin did.

A Work-Study Student's younger sister, a roommate disguised as a boy—one of those essential Douluo Continent experiences—was something Lu Lin was destined never to have.

A little while later, Lu Lin struggled to get up and sat cross-legged on the hard bed, awkwardly beginning to circulate the Body Sect's cultivation method.

On Douluo Continent, with the exception of a few sects like the Tang Sect that had the Mysterious Heaven Skill, most soul masters used a single cultivation method—meditation.

The only difference lay in the quality of their Meditation Method.

Frostwind Junior Soul Master Academy taught the lowest-grade Meditation Method, which was extremely inefficient.

As a top sect, the Body Sect naturally had its own inherited cultivation method.

If Lu Lin hadn't had the Golden Finger of the Avatar Panel, there was no way he could have gotten it for free.

However, the method had no name. Si Yuan Ye had only taught Lu Lin how to cultivate it.

Lu Lin focused and closed his eyes, following the method step by step as he adjusted the route his Soul Power took.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Lin finally grew used to the new circulation method. He abruptly opened his eyes, a look of astonished delight in them.

The Body Sect's cultivation method was naturally much more efficient than the basic Meditation Method. That went without saying.

More importantly, Lu Lin noticed that every time the Soul Power cultivated through the Body Sect's method completed a cycle, his body grew a little stronger.

The improvement wasn't obvious, but it was undeniably real, subtly transforming his physical constitution.

If he kept cultivating with this method over the long term, Lu Lin believed that his physical strength and vitality would reach a whole new level, far beyond those of an ordinary soul master.

The Body Sect's cultivation method really was unique.

No wonder the Body Sect's soul masters generally had exceptionally strong physiques. Their Body Martial Souls were one factor, and this cultivation method was another.

In other words, the Body Sect's cultivation method had been tailor-made for soul masters with Body Martial Souls. It had no other purpose.

Even if the Mysterious Heaven Skill were placed right in front of them, they wouldn't give it a second glance.

At this thought, Lu Lin's expression turned a little strange.

The Body Sect's predecessors had managed to create such a unique cultivation method.

Yet Tang Shenwang, a transmigrator and an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years, had clung to martial arts techniques from the world of wuxia right up until his death. It was honestly hard to wrap your head around.

Lu Lin shook his head and stopped thinking about all that nonsense.

The Body Sect probably cared about substance, not names, so they hadn't even bothered naming the method.

Still, it was somewhat inconvenient for Lu Lin.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Lin considered the method's properties and cultivation focus, as well as the level A Ruheng had reached in Dragon King Legend. Suddenly, an idea struck him.

He had a name for it!
