Director Liu looked at Su Ze before him, his eyes filled with surprise.

A soul master with innate full soul power and a lightning attribute.

His future prospects were limitless.

Holding this view, Director Liu had already prepared himself: if the dean refused to waive the tuition and accommodation fees, he would pay them out of his own pocket!

Under Director Liu's guidance, Su Ze arrived at a private dormitory.

At Nuoding Academy, there were generally two types of student housing.

One was the dormitory for work-study students, and the other was for self-paying students.

This dormitory assigned to Su Ze could be considered top-tier among those for self-paying students.

The morning light was excellent.

All kinds of furniture and equipment were complete.

Moreover, a new quilt had already been prepared on the bed.

He could move in immediately with just his bags.

Looking at the environment before him, Su Ze was very satisfied.

This was the best environment he had lived in during the few years since he transmigrated.

"Little Su, you will live here from now on."

"Don't worry about money or anything else; if you need anything, you can come find me."

"Also, whenever you are prepared to obtain your first soul ring, you can let me know!"

"I will arrange for a teacher to accompany you on the hunt."

"Thank you, Director Liu!"

"As for the soul ring, I will start considering it once I have learned more about the information on soul beasts."

A look of gratitude appeared in Su Ze's eyes.

Once he grew stronger in the future, he would definitely repay this kindness.

First of all, the environment of this dormitory he moved into was simply impeccable.

More importantly, the one gold soul coin for miscellaneous fees had also been waived.

For an ordinary family, this wouldn't be much.

But for him, it was a significant sum.

Furthermore, the other party had agreed to help him hunt for a soul ring when the time came.

Su Ze kept this favor in his heart.

At this moment, Director Liu spoke again: "If you want to learn more about soul ring information, you can go to the library."

"At the same time, there is a master in our academy who just freeloads; you could also go and consult him."

After hearing Director Liu's words, Su Ze immediately realized who he was talking about.

The master, Yu Xiaogang.

It seemed that quite a few people in the academy were dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang.

Su Ze thought about it and it made sense; after all, Yu Xiaogang's theories only worked because he encountered the protagonist, Tang San.

Anyone else would have been ruined by him long ago.

"Get settled in well, and if you need anything, come find me."

After giving a final word of advice, Director Liu turned and left.

After seeing Director Liu off.

Su Ze finally had the time to properly study his Sikong Zhen martial soul.

"Martial soul possession!"

Inside the dormitory, lightning flickered.

Su Ze's black hair transformed directly into white hair.

Although his facial features remained unchanged, he now possessed an air of majesty.

Feeling his current state, Su Ze began to carefully sense his martial soul.

After a thorough examination, he discovered that the form of his Sikong Zhen martial soul had not been fully unlocked.

His martial soul was still in its primary stage.

The evidence was that he had not yet unlocked the ultimate move form, which would cover his entire body in lightning.

Regarding this situation, Su Ze inferred after careful consideration that it was because his level was too low.

He simply couldn't release the ultimate move of Sikong Zhen yet.

After sensing this, Su Ze summarized his martial soul.

He was still in his initial form.

The complete form of Sikong Zhen had not even been activated yet.

As for the Storm Dragon King form that would come later, there was no need to think about it right now.

It was too far off.

Of course, after sensing his martial soul, Su Ze was still very satisfied.

There were two reasons for this.

The first was the attribute of the martial soul itself.

Whether it was Sikong Zhen or the Storm Dragon King, they were both kings of lightning.

The fusion of these two would definitely result in an effect where 1+1 is greater than 2.

In other words, his martial soul was undoubtedly a top-tier lightning-type martial soul on the Douluo Continent.

Just like the six-winged archangel of Qian Renxue.

Besides the martial soul being top-tier.

Su Ze could also sense that as he continued to improve his strength, the corresponding abilities of Sikong Zhen and the Storm Dragon King would be unlocked for him.

In other words, he would continuously unlock corresponding skills in the future.

This would also be a great help for his future development.

On the Douluo Continent, an ordinary soul master could possess at most nine skills.

That was why twin martial souls were so powerful; after all, they had double the skills.

Every additional skill could provide a greater advantage in battles against opponents of the same level.

As for self-created soul skills and the like.

That was an extremely difficult thing to achieve on the Douluo Continent.

After all, unlike his previous life, there was no internet here.

Most of the information was held in the hands of major factions and nobles.

Trying to create a unique self-created soul skill solely on one's own could be described as incredibly difficult.

Since obtaining soul skills was so important, Su Ze felt that he must carefully consider the acquisition of his very first soul ring.

He had to choose the soul ring that best suited him.

Thinking about the selection of soul rings, Su Zhe immediately began to analyze what attributes he should choose.

First, the soul beast must be of the lightning attribute.

Furthermore, it had to be extreme lightning.

The reason was simple.

The best defense is a good offense.

By following the path of extreme lightning, he could push his destructive power to the limit.

Whether he chose single target instant kill or area control later on, he would possess a much greater deterrent capability.

Most importantly, the inherent attribute of Sikong Zhen itself was extreme lightning.

Following this path would allow him to be more compatible with his Sikong Zhen martial soul, and even the Storm Dragon King later on.

After determining what his first soul ring should be, Su Ze snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the sky.

It was still too early to eat.

Therefore, he planned to meditate for a while before heading to the cafeteria.

After that, he would go to the library to look up which soul beasts met his requirements.

As for the suggestion Director Liu had mentioned earlier about seeking help from Yu Xiaogang, Su Ze had absolutely no intention of doing so.

The first reason was simple: in terms of understanding Sikong Zhen and the Storm Dragon King, no one in the entire Douluo Continent understood them better than he, Su Ze, did.

The second reason was even simpler.

He did not trust Yu Xiaogang's theoretical level at all.

Take Tang San as an example; his Blue Silver Grass clearly came with an entangling skill of its own.

Yu Xiaogang actually had Tang San obtain an entangling martial soul for his first soul ring.

Isn't that a complete waste?

An average soul master only has nine skills in total.

Yu Xiaogang wasted one right off the bat.

And more importantly, at the very beginning, Yu Xiaogang even planned that if he couldn't find a suitable one, he would just have Tang San absorb a ten-year bamboo-type martial beast from the side of the road.

He gave it the high-sounding excuse that bamboo is characterized by its tenacity, which fits the blue silver grass very well.

One can only say that it is fortunate Tang San is the protagonist.

Otherwise, with the way Yu Xiaogang teaches, Tang San would have undoubtedly become a waste in the later stages.

Therefore, considering the various unreliable actions Yu Xiaogang took in the plot, Su Ze had no intention of asking Yu Xiaogang to help him obtain a martial soul.

After determining his future plans, Su Ze began his meditation.

Upon falling into meditation, Su Ze felt as if he had arrived in a new world.

His entire body seemed to have transformed into a cluster of light, with countless light spots floating around him.

As Su Ze absorbed all the surrounding light spots into his body, wisps of electric current began to dance around him.

Under the circulation of the electric current, Su Ze's body began to grow stronger bit by bit.
