Now that he had figured out how to defy fate and change his destiny, the next step was naturally cultivation.
After all, no matter how many ideas he had, his level still had to rise.
Thus, Yu Xiaogang's daily routine once again became cultivation, study, study, and cultivation.
During this period, the elders kept their word. They had promised him the treatment of a Soul Douluo, and the resources were delivered directly the next day.
They did not make Yu Xiaogang worry about it at all.
One early morning, Yu Xiaogang rose early and arrived at the mountaintop behind the family estate. Bathed in the sunlight that had just risen, he continuously meditated and refined his Soul Power.
"Phew..."
After letting out a long breath, Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes. Feeling that his Soul Power had barely increased, his brows immediately furrowed.
"Too slow."
More than a month had passed since his Martial Soul Awakening. During that time, he had never relaxed his cultivation.
Even while conducting the Whale Rubber experiments, he had continued cultivating.
Yet the Soul Power in his body, which had barely grown at all, once again told Yu Xiaogang just how poor his talent was.
"A Soul Master's golden period for cultivation is from the age of six to twenty."
"At this rate, I probably won't reach Rank Ten until I'm well into my teens."
"At this pace, my entire golden cultivation period will be wasted."
Yu Xiaogang felt unwilling. If he missed his golden cultivation period, his improvement afterward would become even slower.
"Roar-roar."
Just as Yu Xiaogang was fretting over his cultivation speed, Little Dragon came bouncing over with a stone in its mouth.
Its large eyes watched Yu Xiaogang intently. Only after Yu Xiaogang reached out did Little Dragon place the stone it was carrying in his hand.
It was a stone shaped like a chicken leg. Looking at its appearance, Yu Xiaogang shook his head and laughed.
"You really are a glutton!"
After stroking Little Dragon's head, Yu Xiaogang sighed inwardly. His Martial Soul was much more intelligent than the pet he had raised in his previous life.
At the end of the day, Little Dragon was also a part of him.
"Come to think of it, Little Dragon is clearly a part of me, yet it has a mind of its own. What exactly is its consciousness? Is it another version of me?"
Yu Xiaogang thought to himself.
The instant he thought of this, he suddenly froze.
"Another version of me?"
Yu Xiaogang subconsciously glanced at Little Dragon, and countless thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind.
But no matter how much he thought about it, it was no match for putting it into practice.
Thus, Yu Xiaogang picked up Little Dragon and looked straight into its eyes.
"Little Dragon, you should be able to understand what I'm saying, right? Nod if you do."
At his words, Little Dragon nodded.
"Good. Then, Little Dragon, do as I say next."
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yu Xiaogang began explaining the method of meditation and cultivation to Little Dragon.
At first, afraid that Little Dragon would not understand, Yu Xiaogang explained the most basic and simplest meditation method.
To Yu Xiaogang's surprise, Little Dragon easily understood the meditation method he explained.
After finishing his explanation, Yu Xiaogang had Little Dragon cultivate according to the meditation method.
And Little Dragon actually began cultivating.
Looking at Little Dragon meditating with its eyes closed, Yu Xiaogang could not even attend to his own cultivation.
He simply stayed beside Little Dragon, quietly waiting for the result of its cultivation.
An hour quickly passed in this atmosphere of one dragon cultivating and one person watching.
When Little Dragon opened its eyes again, Yu Xiaogang eagerly rubbed its head before drawing Little Dragon back into his body.
In an instant, Yu Xiaogang felt a tiny increase in the Soul Power within his body.
Although it was only a tiny increase, its significance was completely different from the tiny increase he gained through his own cultivation.
"Little Dragon can actually cultivate and increase my Soul Power. That means that if I cultivate for the same amount of time as others, I can obtain twice the results!"
"I really didn't expect it. An External Beast Martial Soul actually has such an incredible function!"
Dark World, Shrek Academy.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words from the Heavenly Screen, Grandmaster stood there in a daze.
Luo Sanpao could cultivate?
Luo Sanpao could actually cultivate?
Why had he never thought of letting Luo Sanpao try cultivating?
After standing stunned for a long while, Grandmaster's mind was in complete chaos, and his body even began to sway.
When Flender saw Grandmaster's condition, he hurried forward to support him.
"Xiao Gang, are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Come out, Luo Sanpao!"
Grandmaster waved his hand. Then, ignoring Flender, he directly summoned Luo Sanpao.
Luo Sanpao appeared beside Grandmaster with a bewildered expression, only to see Grandmaster rush forward and say directly:
"Luo Sanpao, cultivate right now! Cultivate the way I usually do. Hurry, you have to cultivate!"
Grandmaster urged him anxiously, but Luo Sanpao had no idea how to cultivate and could only stand there blankly.
Seeing his good brother's anxious expression, Flender reminded him of something, finally bringing Grandmaster back to his senses.
"Right, right, right. I have to teach it. I have to teach it."
Thus, Grandmaster began carefully teaching Luo Sanpao how to meditate and cultivate.
Throughout the process, everyone watched Grandmaster.
After Grandmaster finished teaching, Luo Sanpao also began meditating with its eyes closed, just like Little Dragon.
During this time, Grandmaster remained beside Luo Sanpao with an expectant expression, praying that Luo Sanpao's cultivation could help him break through his bottleneck.
Time passed second by second. Soon, an hour had gone by.
As soon as the hour was up, Grandmaster impatiently stopped Luo Sanpao's cultivation and withdrew it into his body.
However, when Luo Sanpao returned, Grandmaster's expression remained blank for a moment. Then his body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Why? Why doesn't it work?"
Grandmaster muttered to himself in a daze.
Luo Sanpao had cultivated for an hour, but when Grandmaster withdrew it into his body, his Soul Power did not fluctuate in the slightest.
There was not even the faintest trace of movement.
It was exactly like the result of every attempt he had made over the years after finding what he thought was a suitable method and trying to meditate.
The gate to Rank Thirty still stood before him, preventing him from advancing even an inch.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me? Why wasn't I the one who discovered early on that Luo Sanpao could cultivate?"
Grandmaster stared at Yu Xiaogang on the Heavenly Screen, who was exceptionally happy after discovering that Little Dragon could cultivate alongside him. The resentment and jealousy in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.
Why had all these things been discovered by his counterpart in the Parallel World? Especially when the other him had made these discoveries at the very beginning of his cultivation.
These discoveries could truly have a tremendous impact on his future.
Why hadn't he been the one to discover them? If he had discovered them, then the one who became the Dragon God Douluo should have been him!
