Internal Energy Cultivation Route

As he walked through the academy, Liu Yanyang casually stopped a student and tossed him a Gold Soul Coin, then began questioning him. He learned that Xiaogang had left Nuoding Academy with Tang San a few days ago.

He also learned the location of Xiaogang's office. He immediately activated Cheng Ying and quickly headed toward the southwest corner of the teaching office building.

In the corner, an inconspicuous room came into view. Liu Yanyang looked around, and after confirming that no one was nearby,

he opened the door and entered, immediately shutting it behind him. Turning to inspect the room, he found nothing besides a wall of bookshelves, a desk, and chairs.

Liu Yanyang walked straight to the bookshelves and began searching. Finally, he found what he wanted—the second book from the left on the third shelf of the left bookcase.

It was a thick book without a title. Liu Yanyang began leafing through it.

A quarter of an hour later, after roughly skimming its contents, Liu Yanyang could not help feeling excited. As expected of Xiaogang!

The book recorded research on cultivating Soul Power, including numerous techniques for circulating it—what kinds of circulation routes made it easier to increase one's strength.

It also contained detailed records on what environments best suited the cultivation of different Martial Souls.

There was considerable research data on Soul Ring configurations for different Martial Souls, as well as an incomplete Human Meridian Diagram.

"Tut, tut, tut!" Liu Yanyang inwardly marveled. Spirit Hall truly had immense wealth and deep foundations!

Xiaogang had accepted it all without hesitation. Liu Yanyang wondered how Qian Daoliu would feel if he learned that Spirit Hall's thousand years of accumulated knowledge could be acquired by someone else so easily.

Still, it belonged to him now. The internal-energy-like circulation routes recorded within would be of tremendous help when he created an Internal Energy Skill in the future.

After all, going from zero to one was often the hardest step. He now held a ticket that opened the door to creating an Internal Energy Skill.

All that remained was to solve the problem of the Human Meridian Diagram and find something that could heal the meridian damage caused by creating an Internal Energy Skill. Then he could begin creating one.

After leaving the room, Liu Yanyang strolled along the paths of Nuoding Academy. The sun shone brightly, and everything was developing in a good direction.

While basking in the sunlight, Liu Yanyang heard people talking.

"Those Work-Study Students really overestimate themselves. They actually dared challenge Boss Xiao from the sixth grade. I doubt we'll see any of those Work-Study Students in class tomorrow."

"I heard a new first-year student among the Work-Study Students is very strong. All the Work-Study Students call her Sister Xiao Wu."

"She was the one who started this whole thing. And their wager is ridiculous too. If Boss Xiao wins, all the Work-Study Students will become his pets. If the Work-Study Students win, every student in the academy will have to call her Sister Xiao Wu."

Liu Yanyang could not help sneering. That stupid rabbit really was unbelievably foolish. Even when making a bet, the stakes should at least be equal if both sides were roughly evenly matched!

She had entered human society alone to avenge her mother, yet every day she was either fighting someone or on her way to a fight.

Like some street thug, and after winning, she even wanted people to call her Sister Xiao Wu—the big boss.

Liu Yanyang did not even know what to say about this so-called revenge. Her heart was completely hung on Little Bie San. She had not even reached maturity, yet she dared go to Heaven Dou City. Did she think Heaven Dou City had no Titled Douluo, or did she think they were blind and could not see such an enormous hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit?

In the original story, her sacrifice had been entirely self-inflicted. But whether she could still sacrifice herself for Tang San now was hard to say.

Liu Yanyang had no intention of watching this famous scene. He headed straight for Nuoding Academy's gates, and when he arrived there,

he saw a thin, short boy in blue clothes, with slightly dark skin and ordinary features, carrying a pale-faced man dressed in coarse black cloth. Step by step, they walked toward him.

Liu Yanyang stopped where he was. As the two passed him, both sides glanced at one another.

Yu Xiaogang was somewhat puzzled. After so many years at the academy, he had never seen such a handsome boy. Though his clothing was plain, Xiaogang's years of observing people told him that Liu Yanyang's detached aura could not be concealed by his attire.

Tang San, meanwhile, looked at Liu Yanyang, who was not much older than himself, and felt a sense of inferiority rise within him. Carrying Yu Xiaogang, he quickened his pace and walked onward.

Watching the two depart, Liu Yanyang wondered how Xiaogang—ordinary-looking, weathered, with melancholy eyes and a dispirited air—

had managed to make both Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong fall hopelessly in love with him.

Could it really have been the combined effect of Love Brain and an intelligence-reducing aura?

After thinking it over, Liu Yanyang decided he should keep his distance from Love Brains in the future. They were terrifying!

Such people were often prone to wild thoughts and possessed an intense desire for control. They could easily turn love into hatred and do unimaginable things.

He stopped thinking about it and left Nuoding Academy, taking a carriage toward Dragon Rising City. Next, he only needed to cultivate in peace and await the right time.

Four years later...

At the outer edge of the mixed zone in the Star Dou Great Forest, an eight-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider lay amid ruins. A deep purple Soul Ring hovered above it, while its head had been pierced through by a silver spear.

A sturdy youth around one meter eighty tall, clad in a black robe and wearing a white mask, slowly approached.

The youth was Liu Yanyang. He was now twelve years old. Ever since returning to the Breaking Clan, he had secluded himself for cultivation.

During that time, he had consistently raised his Soul Power Level by one rank every three months or so. By the age of nine and a half, his Soul Power had reached level twenty-nine.

However, it took Liu Yanyang nearly half a year to overcome the barrier from level twenty-nine to level thirty.

He successfully broke through at the age of ten and became a quasi-Soul Elder.

After he spent heavily, the Soul Hunting Squad found him a Golden Tyrant Dragon over six thousand years old, located deep within Hurricane Canyon of the Star Luo Empire.

Liu Yanyang and Yang Wudi spent more than a month before they finally succeeded in hunting the Golden Tyrant Dragon.

After Liu Yanyang absorbed the Soul Ring, his Soul Power broke through to level thirty-two, and the Soul Skill he gained was extremely powerful.

**Third Soul Skill—Unyielding: All-Attribute Amplification by 30%. For every major Soul Power breakthrough, the amplification increases by 10%, while all negative effects are removed.**

Afterward, Liu Yanyang began frequently training in the Star Dou Great Forest, fighting different kinds of Soul Beasts and constantly honing his Spear Technique.

By now, he had trained in basic spear techniques for nearly six years, and his Spear Technique had already reached a high level of mastery.

His Soul Power Level had also reached level thirty-eight. Originally, cultivation speed began slowing after breaking through to Soul Elder.

However, two years of frequent combat had accelerated his Soul Power cultivation, allowing him to maintain an increase of three levels per year.

After pulling out the Dragon Roar Spear and collecting the Man Faced Demon Spider's venom, Liu Yanyang looked up at the sky. It was time to set out for Heaven Dou City.
