Ma Xiaotao sat cross-legged on the floor.
She voluntarily gave up her spot on the bed to Lu Heqiu.
Lu Heqiu didn't stand on ceremony, sitting on the edge of the bed and beginning to cultivate as well.
However, his cultivation was completely different from Ma Xiaotao's.
Lu Heqiu's cultivation speed was several times faster than hers.
This wasn't just because of his lower level; the so-called bottlenecks that other Soul Masters encountered practically didn't exist for Lu Heqiu. His immense Soul Power and mental strength completely crushed all bottlenecks.
Ma Xiaotao sat beside him.
She had initially thought that the seal within Lu Heqiu's body would suppress her cultivation speed.
But when Lu Heqiu began to cultivate.
Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes flickered. She couldn't believe the changes she felt within her body. Her Soul Power, which had been tightly suppressed by the seal, not only didn't slow down at this moment but was actually accelerating beyond her wildest imagination.
Compared to her original cultivation speed.
The current speed of her Soul Power circulation.
Had more than doubled!
"Huh!?"
"This is even better than a simulated cultivation environment?"
Ma Xiaotao opened her beautiful eyes and looked in Lu Heqiu's direction, wishing she could rush up and kiss him. She wasn't stupid; she could sense the reason for her accelerated cultivation speed.
When Lu Heqiu wasn't cultivating.
Her internal Soul Power circulation was suppressed.
But after Lu Heqiu started cultivating.
Her Soul Power circulation, which should have been as slow as a snail, was actually higher than usual!
"Wait a moment!"
"Don't start cultivating yet!"
Ma Xiaotao suddenly spoke to Lu Heqiu.
The last time she felt the seal, she had rushed to Yan Shaozhe's office in a panic, earning a scolding from him for being too careless. This time, having discovered the source of the problem, she naturally wanted to check it twice.
Lu Heqiu was interrupted by her and looked displeased.
He knew the reason, of course.
His mental power had gathered all the surrounding spiritual energy.
Cultivating around him would naturally be faster than their original cultivation speed; what was so strange about that?
If she were to cultivate within the Golden Tree, the Golden Tree could achieve the same. Even Elder Mu could do it, but Elder Mu was injured and couldn't do it individually for a few children; the consumption would be too great.
It wouldn't be worth the effort.
Lu Heqiu's mental power was even stronger than Mu En's.
Achieving this was naturally not a problem.
"Wait, wait until I say it's okay before you start cultivating!"
Ma Xiaotao stopped Lu Heqiu.
She sat down cross-legged again and entered a state of cultivation.
Just as she had predicted, when Lu Heqiu didn't enter his cultivation state again, her Soul Power was once again suppressed tightly. Her cultivation speed was incomparable to what it had been just moments ago; she felt as if she had completely stopped.
"You can start cultivating now!"
Ma Xiaotao shouted at Lu Heqiu.
Lu Heqiu immediately entered his cultivation state again, drawing the spiritual energy of the entire Shrek City towards them. With this room as the center point, not only Ma Xiaotao, but many people in this building felt their cultivation speed increase.
However, they didn't suspect anything, merely attributing it to their own exceptional talent, as if they had suddenly opened up their meridians.
Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes again.
This time, she didn't interrupt Lu Heqiu's cultivation. Instead, with a face full of joy, she entered the cultivation state once more.
She would tell her teachers about the accelerated cultivation speed a few days later!
She had to seize the time to cultivate.
With such cultivation speed, she could at least reach the Titled Douluo realm ten years earlier!
The next morning.
The two of them opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
Lu Heqiu had increased his Soul Power by about half a level in one night.
Even though it was just the Soul Master realm.
This speed, if spoken aloud, would be unbelievable.
Ma Xiaotao also benefited greatly. If Lu Heqiu hadn't ended his cultivation, she would have loved to cultivate in this state for months!
"You... seem to be faster than me?"
Ma Xiaotao looked at the aura on Lu Heqiu's body strengthening again and asked curiously.
Although the aura wasn't very obvious, Ma Xiaotao could still sense it at such close proximity. Lu Heqiu wasn't deliberately concealing it, so it wasn't difficult to detect.
"Mm, several times faster than you."
Lu Heqiu nodded and walked towards the dormitory building.
Ma Xiaotao quickly stood up and chased after him, eagerly asking, "Where are you going?"
Lu Heqiu didn't even turn his head. He directly took to the air and flew towards the Martial Soul Department.
"To find Dean Yan."
"He said he'd arrange a teacher for me."
Ma Xiaotao was quite surprised to see Lu Heqiu flying in the air, but she still chased after him. If she left Lu Heqiu, the Evil Fire within her would consume her in an instant.
The two flew towards Yan Shaozhe's office, one after the other.
At this moment, Yan Shaozhe was in his office.
He hadn't slept all night.
He had asked Du Weilun to provide a list of recommended teachers from the Outer Academy, and combined with the list of Inner Academy teachers he had, he selected three teachers for Lu Heqiu, all with extremely rich teaching experience.
Du Weilun had originally recommended Zhou Yi.
Although Zhou Yi had a terrible temper and liked to dress herself up as an old woman.
It had to be said that the proportion and number of students who entered the Inner Academy under her guidance each year were the highest!
As for the students she expelled each year, they were also the most in the Outer Academy...
Du Weilun cared but could do nothing about it.
He had originally intended to give her a symbolic punishment and transfer her to the Outer Academy to teach new students.
But the dean suddenly asked for a list of outstanding teachers, so Du Weilun could only tentatively put Zhou Yi's name forward. If it worked out, it might also help Zhou Yi curb her temper.
But Yan Shaozhe didn't choose her. Instead, he chose a female teacher named Su Qingzhu. Compared to Zhou Yi, this female teacher was gentler. She was originally responsible for teaching first and second-year students, so it was perfect for her to teach Lu Heqiu now.
Yan Shaozhe dared not choose a teacher with a volatile temper like Zhou Yi.
A fiery temper had to be backed by strength to suppress students.
Zhou Yi could suppress the students of the Outer Academy with her Soul Saint cultivation, but what about Lu Heqiu? Yan Shaozhe held no hope. Even finding a Soul Douluo might not be enough to suppress Lu Heqiu.
His Soul Ring lit up, and those below Soul Saint had no chance at all!
Two moves?
He might kill them in one move!
"You two are here?"
"Come, Heqiu, take a look at this list. If there are no problems, these three will be your teachers."
Yan Shaozhe sensed the two auras approaching from the doorway and immediately knew who it was.
Among all the students at Shrek.
Only these two little rascals dared to be so unrestrained in front of him.
Seeing Lu Heqiu walk in, he handed him the list in his hand for the final confirmation.
Lu Heqiu's gaze swept over it.
There were only the profiles of three teachers on it.
Two from the Inner Academy, one from the Outer Academy.
Su Qingzhu was responsible for teaching basic knowledge in the Outer Academy, while the two from the Inner Academy were...
Gong Changlong and Fan Yu!
