In the evening, the moonlight was clear as water, scattering across every street in Suotuo City.
After Bu Le, E Kao, and Tian Ya came out of the restaurant, they didn't go out for pleasure as usual. Instead, their expressions were solemn, and they walked home in a hurry, looking as if they had something on their minds.
When the three returned home, Bu Le carefully took out a yellowed paper from his embrace. It was the meditation route map Yu Xiaogang had left for them.
"What do you think of this thing?"
Bu Le asked E Kao and Tian Ya beside him with a serious expression.
"That person, with just one soul duel, could clearly state the Martial Soul Characteristics of us three. Moreover, he pointed out that Tian Ya and I used a Two-in-One Fusion Skill, something even we didn't know. This shows that person's insight is extraordinary, and his knowledge cannot be faked. He must be from a Great Family or one of the Great Sects."
After E Kao finished speaking, he looked at Tian Ya beside him.
Tian Ya nodded upon seeing this and added, "If a Great Family wanted to plot something, with our current strength, we would be completely unable to resist. There's no need for them to tamper with this."
After listening to their analysis, Bu Le felt it made sense. His expression softened slightly, but he was still worried.
"This is a matter of cultivation, and we absolutely cannot be careless. I'll try it first. You two watch beside me. If anything goes wrong, interrupt me immediately."
Without waiting for their dissuasion, Bu Le sat down on the bed, reread the Soul Power Execution Line on the yellow paper, confirmed he had it clearly memorized, and then closed his eyes to cultivate.
Seeing this, E Kao and Tian Ya couldn't help but sigh. They had always regarded Bu Le as their Big Brother because Bu Le valued loyalty the most and always took the initiative to bear any trouble, just like today.
However, their Big Brother had a fatal flaw: he was too lustful. They had advised him many times with no effect, so they finally stopped bothering, only hoping their Big Brother wouldn't cause any trouble.
After Bu Le entered the cultivation state, his expression was initially solemn. But as his cultivation deepened, the expression on his face gradually relaxed, then became increasingly peaceful, and his whole being seemed to unfurl.
Seeing this scene, E Kao and Tian Ya's eyes couldn't help but light up, and their hearts itched with anticipation.
When Bu Le stopped meditating and opened his eyes again, they quickly stepped forward and asked, "How was it? What was the effect?"
Bu Le looked at the two who had crowded around him and nodded deeply, the corners of his mouth unable to suppress a smile.
"The method on the paper is real. I feel the circulation of soul power became smoother during cultivation, and my mind became more focused."
Upon hearing this, E Kao and Tian Ya no longer hesitated. They carefully picked up the yellow paper left by Yu Xiaogang, held it in their palms, and then meticulously and earnestly read it from beginning to end. After confirming there were no omissions, they each chose a spot in the room and began to cultivate with their eyes closed.
An hour later, the three of them finished their cultivation one after another. They stretched their bodies and felt refreshed and comfortable. The newly grown soul power within them not only increased but was also more condensed in quality than before.
The three looked at each other and, understanding each other's thoughts, nodded in unison.
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.
Yu Xiaogang went to Flender's residence and told him about his plan to start a tutoring class.
Flender frowned immediately upon hearing this and refused, "Our Shrek Academy only accepts monsters. We've never taken in mediocre students. If we really do this, wouldn't we be damaging our own reputation? No, no."
Yu Xiaogang was prepared. Seeing this, he immediately persuaded, "It won't damage your reputation. This is a tutoring class outside the academy; it's a part-time job. I'll tutor for two days every weekend, which won't delay the academy's teaching progress. Most importantly, we can earn a good tuition fee."
Flender hadn't intended to agree, but upon hearing the final words, "tuition fees," a glint flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang curved his lips slightly and leaned close to Flender, whispering about the tutoring class's fees.
Upon hearing that it was five hundred Gold Soul Coins per person per month, plus ten thousand Gold Soul Coins for hunting Soul Beasts, Flender subconsciously licked his lips, his eyes instantly radiating a golden light.
He then composed himself, cleared his throat twice, and said:
"Hmm, I think your tutoring class, Xiaogang, has some merit."
The next day, morning.
Outside the Great Soul Arena, Bu Le, E Kao, and Tian Ya had been waiting early.
It was almost eight o'clock, and neither Yu Xiaogang nor Flender had appeared. Their expressions began to unconsciously tighten, and they couldn't help but scan the surrounding streets.
Just then, two figures emerged from the corner ahead. One, a middle-aged man in black, was Yu Xiaogang. The other, a man in leather clothing wearing round-rimmed glasses, was Flender.
Because the tutoring class was private and couldn't be held within Shrek Academy, the two had entered Suotuo City early to find a suitable venue.
They finally settled on a boxing gym as the teaching location. Coincidentally, the gym was closed on weekends, making the timing perfect.
As for why there was a boxing gym in Suotuo City, it was necessary to mention the cultivation factions of Soul Masters, which included the Soul Power Flow, Soul Skill Flow, and Combat Skill Flow.
Most Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent were primarily of the Soul Power Flow faction in the early stages of cultivation, dedicating a large amount of their time to Meditation Cultivation, striving to break through Soul Power bottlenecks as quickly as possible and focusing on improving their Soul Power Level.
In the later stages of cultivation, after their Soul Power Level had reached their personal limit, they would transition to the Soul Skill Flow faction, beginning to develop their Soul Skills more deeply and applying them more flexibly.
And as Soul Masters delved into the study of Soul Skills, they would often touch upon the final faction, the Combat Skill Flow.
By refining combat techniques beyond their Martial Souls, such as Fist Techniques and Swordsmanship, Soul Masters could often achieve effects comparable to Soul Skills through these combat skills. If combined with Soul Skills, the effect would be even more astonishing.
Therefore, it was not surprising that there were boxing gyms in Suotuo City.
In fact, such martial arts gyms were distributed throughout the continent, and some families also had their own exclusive combat skills. Examples include the Tang Sect's Secret Arts that Tang San possessed, the Clear Sky Sect's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Divided Mind Control, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword Art.
Yu Xiaogang and Flender met up with Bu Le, E Kao, and Tian Ya, and then led the three into the boxing gym.
"Everyone, I'd like to introduce Mr. Flender, my assistant Teacher."
Yu Xiaogang glanced to his side. Flender, understanding, immediately released his Martial Soul.
A pair of huge Owl wings flashed behind him. Seven Soul Rings, yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, rose from his feet, bringing a powerful sense of pressure to everyone present.
Bu Le, E Kao, and Tian Ya couldn't help but swallow. Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Yu Xiaogang waved his hand, signaling Flender to retract his Martial Soul, and then began to guide the three in their cultivation.
The first step was to adjust the meditation cultivation routes for the three.
Yu Xiaogang had the three of them sit in a circle, close their eyes, and meditate. Finally, he circulated his soul power and injected it into their backs. Through the gentle nature of the Mysterious Heaven Skill's inner force, and with his own knowledge, he began to find new execution routes for the three of them.
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, it was sunset.
Yu Xiaogang withdrew his soul power. Although there was a hint of fatigue on his face, his eyes were even brighter.
Based on the original Yellow Paper, he had found two more execution routes for each of them. As they cultivated using a completely new meditation method, a subtle resonance began to form between them, causing their soul power to blend.
Yu Xiaogang and Flender exchanged a glance. As the Golden Iron Triangle, they were very familiar with this situation. It indicated that their martial soul compatibility had reached an extremely high level. Although it was far from their own level in the Golden Iron Triangle, it was still extremely rare.
Bu Le, E Kao, and Tian Ya all woke up from their meditation, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Teacher Wang, you are truly our great benefactor."
Bu Le's face was full of reverence. He then took out three bags from the Soul Tool at his waist and placed them heavily on the wooden floor.
Flender heard the sound of metal clinking inside the bags, and his eyes immediately lit up. He quickly stepped forward and opened the bags. A golden light surged out, mesmerizing him.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but roll his eyes. He coughed lightly to pull Flender back, then smiled at him, "Next weekend, you can come directly here. We will explain about Fusion Skills then. You still have a lot of potential to tap into in this area."
Bu Le, E Kao, and Tian Ya nodded repeatedly. After bidding farewell to Yu Xiaogang and Flender, they walked out of the Boxing Gym.
When Flender saw that the three had gone far, his already suppressed smile instantly stretched to the back of his head. He reached out and patted the three money bags filled with Gold Soul Coins in front of him, letting out a sly laugh.
"Xiaogang, I must fully support this Tutoring Class of yours. Not for any other reason, but as teachers, we must uphold the good tradition of teaching and nurturing."
"Alright, alright, teaching and nurturing."
Looking at Flender rubbing the Gold Soul Coins, Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly.
