Feeling the changes in his body as it grew stronger.

A guess came to Su Ze's mind.

When he meditated, he activated the Sikong Zhen Martial Soul within him. The current that spilled out strengthened his body.

In other words, as long as he kept meditating from now on,

his body would grow stronger and stronger under the current's stimulation.

This would be very useful when he later tried to absorb Soul Rings beyond the usual age limit.

It was basically like having a permanent supply of Whale Rubber.

Although Whale Rubber was still cheap by Douluo II standards, since no one had discovered its effects,

it was still cheap!

But even so, it cost over a thousand Gold Soul Coins.

For Su Ze right now, that was still an enormous sum he couldn't afford.

Looks like I'll have to meditate whenever I have free time from now on.

Thinking this, Su Ze stood up.

After meditating just now, his body had grown stronger,

but Su Ze also felt extremely hungry.

It was meal time anyway, so after replenishing his energy, he went to the library to look up some information.

He wanted to see what he should choose for his first Soul Ring.

Meanwhile,

in Yu Xiaogang's office,

the dean told Yu Xiaogang that Director Liu of the Teaching Affairs Department had arranged a separate dormitory for a genius Soul Master with an unknown Lightning Attribute Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power.

He had even volunteered to pay the genius's tuition and miscellaneous fees for a year.

As soon as the dean heard this, he sent Yu Xiaogang the student's file and asked him to offer guidance on obtaining a Soul Ring.

Looking at the unknown Lightning Attribute Martial Soul listed in the file,

Yu Xiaogang's face filled with incredulous delight.

He felt that today was his lucky day.

First, he had met Tang San, who had Twin Martial Souls.

Now there was Su Ze.

It was as if the heavens wanted him to prove his theories.

Yu Xiaogang stared at the file in his hands, his fingers trembling slightly.

Now that he had two gifted disciples, his theories would surely be proven.

Then he would make those who looked down on him eat their words.

Yu Xiaogang smiled as he imagined it.

Years of research had left him terribly thin.

When he smiled, his face looked rather creepy.

His heart pounding with excitement, Yu Xiaogang immediately got up.

He was going to find Su Ze.

Inside the library,

after finishing his meal and replenishing his energy, Su Ze went to the library to look up some information.

At that moment, he was engrossed in a book titled A Comprehensive Guide to Beginner Soul Beasts.

The book introduced all kinds of Soul Beasts.

It included Lightning Attribute Soul Beasts, exactly what he needed.

After two hours of searching,

he had come up with two candidates for his first Soul Beast hunt.

The first was the Thunder Fang Rabbit, a Lightning Attribute Soul Beast with incredible speed and pure Lightning Attribute Soul Power.

Most Soul Masters from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan chose one of these for their First Soul Ring.

Su Ze listed it as his first choice, too.

After all, the great clans probably knew what they were doing.

Its pure Lightning Attribute suited his goal.

The second was the Thunder Feather Wolf. At the hundred-year stage, its fur was pale blue, and its Electric Surge skill could draw out its lightning power to strengthen its own attributes!

He was considering it because its Electric Surge might be able to strengthen the Sikong Zhen Martial Soul.

Of course, that was only a guess. Su Ze personally leaned toward the Thunder Fang Rabbit.

But he hadn't made up his mind yet. He still hadn't finished the whole book, so he needed to do more research.

Just then, a sudden burst of hurried, noisy footsteps approached.

"You're Su Ze, right? I finally found you."

"Your Martial Soul is powerful, and you're so eager to learn. You're an excellent student!"

"But a genius like you can easily go astray if you don't have a good teacher to guide you early on."

At the sound of the voice, Su Ze looked up in confusion.

Yu Xiaogang's gaunt face immediately came into view.

When he saw Su Ze look up, Yu Xiaogang quickly put on a smile.

Su Ze frowned slightly at Yu Xiaogang's rather creepy expression.

But the physical enhancements from meditation had improved his control over his facial expressions,

so nothing showed on his face.

Seeing Su Ze look his way, Yu Xiaogang went straight to the point. "Su Ze, the dean showed me your file. He asked me to advise you on obtaining your Soul Ring!"

"I know you have an unknown Lightning Attribute Martial Soul."

"Release your Martial Soul, and I'll immediately be able to tell you what the best first Soul Ring for you would be."

Yu Xiaogang's tone was urgent as he spoke.

He could hardly wait to see Su Ze's unknown Lightning Attribute Martial Soul.

Hearing Yu Xiaogang, Su Ze looked around, his brow furrowing again.

This was a library. He was supposed to release his Martial Soul right here?

What kind of behavior was that?

Although he was unhappy, his good upbringing kept him from getting angry on the spot.

Besides, Yu Xiaogang had made it clear that the dean had sent him.

Su Ze was living at the other man's academy now.

It wouldn't be appropriate to refuse outright.

He decided to hear Yu Xiaogang's advice about his Martial Soul.

After all, Yu Xiaogang had studied Martial Souls for about thirty years.

When it came to lower-level Martial Souls, perhaps he could happen to offer a reasonable answer.

With that in mind, Su Ze continued.

"How about this, Teacher? You can see my Martial Soul, but let's go outside. We shouldn't disturb the students who are studying here."

Hearing Su Ze, Yu Xiaogang looked around and noticed several students glaring at him.

Clearly, his actions had disturbed many of them.

Yu Xiaogang came to his senses, realizing that he had let his emotions get the better of him.

But wanting to maintain his dignified image as a teacher in front of Su Ze,

Yu Xiaogang had no intention of apologizing. Instead, he made an excuse. "You're a Soul Master with a Lightning Attribute Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power. So what if you disturb them a little?"

"But since you put it that way, let's find somewhere more secluded."

As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, the students around them all turned their gazes toward Su Ze.

Their eyes held envy, shock, and dissatisfaction.

Feeling their stares, Su Ze was speechless.

What kind of thing was that to say?

What did he mean, it was no big deal to disturb the others?

It was a matter of basic manners.

And Yu Xiaogang was supposed to be a teacher.

Su Ze regretted not refusing Yu Xiaogang outright.

Still, he thought he might as well give it a try since they were already there, and followed Yu Xiaogang to a quiet spot.

As soon as they arrived, Yu Xiaogang turned around and stared intently at Su Ze.

"Su Ze, hurry up and release your Martial Soul. I want to see it!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's almost commanding tone, Su Ze was speechless. He had already made up his mind.

If Yu Xiaogang couldn't offer any useful advice,

he would give the rude old man a piece of his mind.

Martial Soul Possession.

Thinking this, Su Ze released the Sikong Zhen Martial Soul.

Lightning flashed, and Su Ze's entire bearing became imposing and mature.

At the same time, his black hair turned white, and lightning coiled around him.

He was just like the Lord of Thunder.
