In the tranquil courtyard, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, Soul Power surging from his body like raging waves and spreading endlessly in every direction. Wherever it passed, the air grew increasingly distorted.
Ye Lingling looked toward her teacher's room and asked with a puzzled expression, "Senior Shang Que, is Teacher about to break through?"
Shang Que replied, "Not yet. The master's breakthrough to Level 94 Title Douluo is only a matter of time. Breaking through to Level 95 Title Douluo will still require some time, but with the master's talent and ability, reaching Level 95 Title Douluo will not be difficult."
As Lin Yuan's mount, Shang Que understood his master's talent better than anyone. Back when Lin Yuan had just stepped into the Title Douluo realm, he had already been able to suppress Shang Que, a three-hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Such unimaginable strength was rare even across the entire Douluo Continent.
If not for the master's cautious nature, his abilities alone would have been enough to unify the entire Douluo Continent. Even becoming renowned throughout the world would have been effortless.
Shang Que looked at Ye Lingling beside him and said softly, "Ling Ling, remember this. You are the master's only direct disciple, and your future achievements will be limitless. You must cultivate diligently and strive to enter the Title Douluo realm as soon as possible."
Ye Lingling raised her head and nodded firmly, her voice clear. "Don't worry, Senior Shang Que. I'll cultivate diligently and never bring disgrace upon Teacher."
Shang Que nodded in satisfaction. Although he did not know why his master had taken a Support System Soul Master as his disciple, he always believed that his master must have his own reasons for doing so.
As a mount, his duty was to obey his master's arrangements, slaughter every threat on his master's path forward, and leave his master with an exceptionally clear road ahead.
Inside the room, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a wisp of blood-red turbid air. The energy within a hundred meters around him dimmed at that moment before finally vanishing without a trace.
"Sure enough, with my current ability, I can only accumulate the Soul Power within my body. I'm still lacking an opportunity to break through to Level 95 Title Douluo."
Lin Yuan withdrew the Asura Demon Sword martial soul before him, put on his clothes, brushed the dust from his shoulders, and turned to walk outside into the courtyard.
At that moment, Ye Lingling hurried over and bowed to Lin Yuan, who had just finished cultivating. "Teacher, you've emerged from seclusion."
Lin Yuan nodded. Looking at Ye Lingling, who had already broken through to Level 48 Soul Ancestor, he was quite pleased. It seemed that the Aromatic Silk Beauty was gradually beginning to take effect.
The Aromatic Silk Beauty was a top-tier Immortal Grade Herb. Within Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden, its value even surpassed that of the other herbs and could be mentioned in the same breath as the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.
The Lovesick Heartbreak Red was likewise a top-tier Immortal Grade Herb. To make it acknowledge an owner, one needed a pure heart and sincere love. Even the slightest trace of distracting thoughts would make it impossible for the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to acknowledge its owner.
He had also obtained this Lovesick Heartbreak Red from Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden back then, but Lin Yuan had never taken it out.
Naturally, he could not simply give the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to Xiao Wu. After all, Xiao Wu was his pet. It was obviously impossible for him to let the Lovesick Heartbreak Red bring her together with Tang San.
Lin Yuan looked toward Shang Que and asked, "How are the other students doing?"
Shang Que cupped his hands and replied, "Osler and the others have all reached Level 42 Soul Ancestor. Ling Ling has even broken through to Level 48 Soul Ancestor. In my opinion, Ling Ling will be able to break through to the Soul King realm before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament begins."
Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. Judging by their current cultivation speed, Ling Ling had a high chance of breaking through to Soul King. However, whether she could surpass Spirit Hall's Golden Generation would depend on her cultivation progress.
After all, Spirit Hall's Golden Generation were all Soul Kings above Level 50. In the original story, they could be said to have crushed Heaven Dou Royal Academy's team, causing them to lose as soon as the battle began.
To win, he would need to teach them in another way.
"Ling Ling, bring Osler and the others to the Back Mountain. Today, I'll personally train you."
Hearing this, Ye Lingling was somewhat startled. She did not understand why her teacher would personally intervene. In the past, he had always entrusted this matter to Senior Shang Que.
However, Ye Lingling did not ask further. After all, this was her teacher's decision. As his disciple, she was supposed to obey all of her teacher's arrangements.
With that thought, Ye Lingling obediently nodded and ran toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Shang Que asked suspiciously, "Master, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you intend to personally put pressure on those children?"
"You'll find out when the time comes."
Lin Yuan placed one hand behind his back and led Shang Que toward the Back Mountain.
Before long.
Led by Ye Lingling, Osler and the others arrived at the agreed location.
Over the past few days, their cultivation speed had been extremely fast, but their consumption had also been immense. In just a few days, these children had all become somewhat listless.
Yet, thinking of how quickly they could raise their Soul Power, Osler and the others no longer looked as though they would rather be dead. Instead, they greatly enjoyed this special kind of life.
With one hand behind his back, Lin Yuan looked at the children before him and said slowly, "Now, release your martial souls and Soul Rings."
Osler and the others glanced at one another but did not ask any questions. They immediately released their martial souls and Soul Ring configurations.
"Osler, martial soul Ghost Leopard, Level 42 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: two yellow, two purple."
"Yufeng, martial soul Wind Chime Bird, Level 42 Agility Attack System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: two yellow, two purple."
"Shimo, martial soul Black Tortoise, Level 42 Defense System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: two yellow, two purple."
"Shimo, martial soul Black Tortoise, Level 41 Defense System Battle Soul Master. Soul Rings: two yellow, two purple."
"Ye Lingling, martial soul Nine Heart Begonia, Level 48 Support System Tool Soul Master. Soul Rings: two yellow, one purple, one black."
"What? Ling Ling is actually a Level 48 Soul Ancestor? This... how is that possible..."
Upon hearing this, Osler and the others were completely stunned. They immediately turned to look at Ye Lingling standing in the center. When they learned that Ling Ling had actually broken through to Level 48 Soul Ancestor, every one of their expressions became extraordinarily colorful.
They had to know that Ling Ling had once possessed the lowest Soul Power in their team. Yet after becoming Lin Yuan's disciple, Ye Lingling had not only obtained a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but her Soul Power had also broken through to Level 48.
Calling such a cultivation speed monstrous would not be an exaggeration.
Osler asked in astonishment, "Ling Ling, you actually broke through to the Level 48 Soul Ancestor realm? How did you do it?"
