Learning it was one thing, but he still needed to master it more thoroughly and use it more skillfully. Only then could he absorb Soul Power faster during Meditation Cultivation.

"Xiao Yuan, among all the geniuses your Teacher has ever met, your comprehension is the best."

"But you must not become arrogant or complacent. You should know that the path of a Soul Master is full of countless changes. No one can guarantee that they will reach the end of the path."

After learning how powerful Yun Yuan's talent was, Qian Xunji immediately thought to remind him properly.

He must not rely on his excellent talent and high comprehension to look down on the geniuses of the world. The Soul Master World was filled with outstanding talents.

"Don't worry, Teacher. I won't become arrogant or complacent. The path of a Soul Master has only just begun for me."

There was not the slightest hint of arrogance in Yun Yuan's eyes. His goal was to become an immortal Deity. Before reaching that goal, how could he possibly become arrogant and complacent?

"Good. That's good."

Seeing Yun Yuan's calm and unhurried attitude, Qian Xunji was very satisfied. He felt that Yun Yuan, this Disciple of his, had been specially bestowed upon him by the heavens.

Over the next period of time, Qian Xunji carefully explained the essence of Spirit Hall's top-tier Meditation Method to Yun Yuan.

Yun Yuan's brows would sometimes furrow slightly, while at other times, a smile would appear on his face.

The one-on-one lesson between the two teacher and disciple continued until noon. Only then did Qian Xunji have Bibi Dong take Yun Yuan to lunch.

Before they left, however, Qian Xunji said to Yun Yuan:

"Xiao Yuan, after eating lunch with Dong'er, go with Dong'er to the school. The theoretical master I have arranged for you and Dong'er is there. Go and study properly the knowledge Soul Masters need throughout their lives."

"After studying for two hours, go on your own to the mountainside of the mountain where your palace is located. Your Teacher has already arranged a Soul Master to teach you actual combat and spear techniques."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yuan nodded heavily at Qian Xunji, indicating that he understood and would follow his instructions.

Then, Bibi Dong pulled Yun Yuan toward their private dining hall.

"Junior Brother, let's go. Senior Sister will take you to eat something delicious."

After a while, Yun Yuan experienced for the first time the feeling that delicacies from land and sea were inferior to leftovers.

In front of Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong was an entire table of food each. Without exception, every dish contained extremely rich nutrition.

The cost of a single meal for Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong might equal a family's expenses for several decades. It was easy to imagine how highly Qian Xunji regarded the two of them.

"Junior Brother, what do you think? Teacher treats us very well, doesn't he?"

"We absolutely must repay Teacher properly in the future. We must never become people who betray their teacher and ancestors, understood?"

Bibi Dong picked up a large shrimp from the table and began eating it before reminding Yun Yuan.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yun Yuan's mouth twitched violently. He gave Bibi Dong a strange look.

Betray her teacher and ancestors? Senior Sister, isn't that something you'll do in the future? Why are you lecturing me about it now?

But the future was the future. Since Yun Yuan had become Qian Xunji's Disciple and Bibi Dong's Junior Brother, he would not allow the future to repeat itself.

"Understood, Senior Sister. I definitely won't betray my teacher and ancestors. In the future, I'll lead our Spirit Hall toward something better and let Spirit Hall's glory shine across the entire Douluo Continent."

After stating his ambition, Yun Yuan began stuffing himself with the nutritious food before him, just like Bibi Dong.

Half an hour later.

After finishing dinner, Yun Yuan went with his Senior Sister, Bibi Dong, to the school. A theoretical master had been specially appointed to teach the two of them.

"Dong'er, you're here."

"Xiao Yuan, this is your first time here, right? Your Eminence the Pope has already spoken to me about you. Sit down."

"From now on, I'll be your teacher for the next six years. I'll be responsible for teaching you martial soul theory, knowledge of the Soul Master World, and knowledge about Soul Beasts."

After Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong entered the school, an unkempt old man with a completely bald head and only a few strands of white hair looked toward them and spoke.

This old man was Spirit Hall's current master of martial soul theory. He enjoyed an extremely high reputation in scholarly circles and was known as "Elder Yin."

Over the next several hours, Elder Yin began imparting his lifelong knowledge to Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong.

As they listened, Bibi Dong, sitting beside Yun Yuan, began nodding off. She was almost asleep.

Yun Yuan, however, was different. His eyes stared straight ahead as he listened attentively to the theoretical master before him.

Elder Yin was different from the Yu Xiaogang of several decades later, who possessed nothing but an empty reputation and no real knowledge. He was a genuine theoretical master of this era.

His research into martial souls and his command of knowledge had both reached a state of consummate mastery.

If an ordinary Soul Master could take him as a Teacher, they would have hope of becoming a powerful expert in the future.

This was the true value of a theoretical master: turning an ordinary Soul Master into an artificial Genius through successful Spirit Ring selection.

Two hours later.

After listening to Elder Yin's lecture, Yun Yuan finally understood just how much knowledge this true theoretical master possessed.

Even though Yun Yuan had been bombarded with theoretical knowledge about the Douluo Continent online in his previous life, after hearing Elder Yin's lecture, he realized how shallow his own knowledge was.

During those two hours, Elder Yin grew increasingly satisfied with Yun Yuan as a student and wished he could impart all his knowledge to him.

With Yun Yuan present, Elder Yin no longer cared that Bibi Dong was dozing off during class. His thoughts were entirely focused on teaching Yun Yuan, this excellent young talent.

"Senior Sister, it's time to wake up."

Only after the lesson ended did Yun Yuan notice that Bibi Dong was nearly asleep. He stepped forward and shook her awake.

Why did his Senior Sister take knowledge about martial souls so lightly?

With a theoretical master like Elder Yin teaching him, Yun Yuan felt that this was an enormous Fortuitous Encounter.

If Bibi Dong could learn even a portion of Elder Yin's knowledge, she would not be deceived by Yu Xiaogang, that half-baked theorist, in the future.

"Ah, it's Junior Brother. Two hours have passed?"

After Yun Yuan shook her awake, Bibi Dong's mind was still somewhat unclear. She asked him drowsily.

"They have. But, Senior Sister, isn't it bad to sleep in class like that?"

"I think the knowledge Elder Yin taught was all very practical."

Seeing how little importance Bibi Dong placed on theoretical knowledge, Yun Yuan tried to persuade her.

He truly felt that Bibi Dong should listen carefully to Elder Yin's theoretical knowledge. It was ten thousand times better than the nonsense Yu Xiaogang would fabricate in the future.

"Junior Brother, who said Senior Sister doesn't study?"

"Elder Yin's lectures are good, but they're too boring. I usually study on my own in the library."

"Besides, your Senior Sister is a Genius. I can learn it all very quickly on my own, so I don't need to listen to Elder Yin's lectures."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately explained. It wasn't that she refused to study; she simply chose to study by herself.
