Taking Su Ru as Teacher! One Million Gold Soul Coin as a Meeting Gift!

Although a Level 71 Soul Sage was not yet at the peak of the continent, nor among the strongest,

it was still one of the top three realms.

If Title Douluo and Soul Douluo did not appear, Soul Saints were the strongest.

People like Title Douluo were extremely proud and rarely showed themselves before others.

They were basically impossible to encounter.

Soul Douluo were much the same.

Given Douluo Continent's characteristic that cultivation became harder the further one progressed, even with the Top-Tier Willow God Method, Li Fei did not dare say when he might become a Seven Ring Soul Sage.

Now that he was a Level 23 Soul Grandmaster, he could already feel the constraints of the world's energy slowing the cultivation speed of Soul Masters.

Even with his Heaven-Defying Luck and Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he had not escaped it.

And this was merely the beginning. The real difficulty started upon reaching the Three Ring Soul Elder realm.

Take advancing from Level 23 to Level 24, for example.

The Soul Power Energy required for that one level was equivalent to the total Soul Power Energy needed to rise from a Level 1 Soul Scholar to Level 23.

Only then did he understand why Tang San's cultivation remained so slow even with the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Perhaps his relationship with Xiao Wu, his blacksmithing, and various other matters had also played a part.

But the rule imposing restrictions on Soul Power from heaven and earth accounted for far more.

"To sum it up, it still comes down to one thing."

"The Soul Power Energy in this world is limited, not infinite."

"Soul Masters need to absorb Soul Power Energy to advance, and Soul Beasts need it too."

"Soul Masters may be few, but Soul Beasts vastly outnumber them. Not to mention those on land—the ones in the ocean alone are terrifying enough."

"The Soul Power Energy on Douluo Star has to be supplied to every living being capable of absorbing Soul Power. Higher-level lifeforms absorb more, leaving even less for lower-level ones..."

"Sure enough, no matter what world it is, even energy has class divisions."

"Soul Power Energy is also a type of resource."

"And it is something Soul Masters cannot do without."

"If Soul Power Energy were ever depleted, it would mean the Age of the End of the Law had arrived. Soul Masters would lose their supply of Soul Power Energy and be doomed."

For a moment, Li Fei came to understand many things, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

After careful consideration, Li Fei truly needed powerful protection before he had grown strong enough.

"I am willing!"

"Li Fei greets Teacher!"

Li Fei bowed to Su Ru before him.

It seemed as though he had thought about many things, yet only an instant had passed.

Although Su Ru was only a Level 71 Soul Sage now, with him, someone who knew what lay ahead, she still had the possibility of reaching the Nine Ring Title Douluo realm in the future.

The known methods for rapidly increasing Soul Power and changing one's aptitude were either Divine Trial Blessing, Soul Beast Sacrifice, or the Immortal Herbs within the Ice and Fire Two Forms Eye.

Compared with the first two, the Ice and Fire Two Forms Eye was actually easier to obtain.

At this point in time, Dugu Bo should not have discovered it yet, and he had not become a Title Douluo.

He just did not know how well the Immortal Herbs in that valley had grown.

Therefore, he would definitely have to visit Heaven Dou City in the future, enter Sunset Forest, and make plans for that place.

"Good, good, good!"

Su Ru was overjoyed.

In this world of Douluo Continent, kneeling was unnecessary. A bow was enough.

Li Fei would never kneel to someone like Tang San did.

"I planned to give you a gift for becoming my disciple, but you already have a Storage Soul Guide Ring. So I will give you One Million Gold Soul Coin first. This card can be used at banks across the Entire Continent. Buy whatever you like. If it is not enough, come find me again."

Su Ru glanced at the ring on Li Fei's finger, then a golden card appeared in her hand.

This was a bank card in this world, much like a bank card from China.

"One Million Gold Soul Coin?!"

"That much!?"

Li Fei was stunned.

He thought he had misheard.

Even after living two lives, he had never seen this much money.

"As the Headmistress of Plant Academy, a Seven Ring Soul Sage, and one of Heaven Dou Empire's guest Soul Saints, I am not short on money."

"One million is nothing to me."

"Once you grow stronger in the future, you will also learn that earning money is easy."

Su Ru said with a smile.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Li Fei took a deep breath. Without standing on ceremony, he reached out and accepted it.

"Oh, right. This is a Golden Vine Armor Inner Armor. I obtained it in my early years. It can withstand a Soul Elder's full-force strike. Even if a Soul Ancestor shatters it, it will not let you die. Wear it—it may save your life when necessary."

"Of course, I hope such a thing never happens."

The next moment, Su Ru took a piece of golden vine armor from her Storage Ring and handed it to Li Fei.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Li Fei accepted it and caught a strange fragrance from it.

Could this Golden Vine Inner Armor have been worn by Su Ru?

Well, damn...

After putting away both items, he immediately stored them in his Storage Ring.

"Teacher, how long is it until this Continental Soul Master Competition?"

Having accepted so much, he naturally had to help Su Ru ease her worries, so Li Fei took the initiative to ask.

"Two years."

Su Ru spoke softly.

"Two years..."

Li Fei estimated the time.

He was eight years old now. In two years, he would be Ten Years Old.

He was not certain whether he could reach the Soul Elder realm within those two years.

If he did not encounter some major opportunity and simply remained in the academy's back mountain meditating tirelessly, it might be difficult.

"Teacher, do you know what level the Soul Masters on the teams from the Five Great Element Academies are?" Li Fei asked.

"The gap will not be too great. They will either be Soul Grandmasters or Soul Elders. There will not be any Soul Ancestors," Su Ru said.

Hearing that, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

If they were only Soul Elders, then with the methods he possessed, he had nothing to fear.

"Even when the gap is not large, we lose because Plant Spirits are inherently fragile. The current Five Great Element Academies are earth, fire, wind, lightning, and water. Nearly all of them restrain us." Su Ru looked helpless.

"Doesn't water get restrained by us?" Li Fei asked, confused.

"They also have ice. Ice can freeze plants... sigh." Su Ru shook her head.

"I have some information on the Five Great Element Academies here. Take it back and study it."

"But do not take it too seriously. You must still focus on your own cultivation. Just do your best. Even if you fail to win the title of the Five Great Element Academies in the end, I will not blame you."

A set of documents appeared in Su Ru's hand, and Li Fei accepted them.

"Understood. I will certainly do my utmost."

Li Fei nodded.

"Teacher, is this conversation secure?"

"What I am about to tell you is rather significant..."

Taking a deep breath, Li Fei decided to reveal the effects of Whale Rubber.

Su Ru's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

With a wave of her hand, powerful Soul Saint energy enveloped the entire office.

All the doors and windows closed, while dense plants grew around them and covered everything.

They sealed the place so tightly that not even air could pass through.

Su Ru said, "Speak. It is safe now. Only teacher and disciple know what is said here. Nothing can get out."

"Teacher, after years of theoretical research, I discovered that besides the effects known to everyone, Whale Rubber has another effect..."

"This effect is that it can greatly strengthen a Soul Master's body and raise the limit of Soul Rings a Soul Master can absorb."
