The Shock Qin Heng Brought

Qian Renxue turned to glance at Qian Daoliu. He gave an awkward smile, clearly having arranged this master-disciple relationship in advance.

Now Qian Renxue had no choice. She had wanted to establish her authority while this guy was still young, but that clearly was not going to happen.

"Ahem, forms of address aren't important. Xue'er, I have a cultivation technique called the Wuji Technique. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth far more efficiently than ordinary meditation methods, and it can temper the body while cultivating. Once mastered, it can open the Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels, allowing Soul Power to circulate endlessly within the body. It gives you more than twice the Soul Power of a Soul Master at the same level. Do you want to learn it?"

"Yes, of course!" Qian Renxue said without hesitation.

"Then sit cross-legged, Xue'er. I'll guide you through one circulation of the technique."

Qian Renxue nodded and sat cross-legged. Qin Heng walked over, placed both hands against her back, transferred his Soul Power into her body, and guided the flow of her Soul Power.

During the process, Qin Heng confirmed that Qian Renxue was currently a level 58 Soul King. Her cultivation speed was far too slow—she had Innate Full Soul Power at level 20, and after absorbing two Soul Rings, even with the standard two-yellow-ring configuration, she should have reached at least level 23.

Level 23 at six years old, yet only level 58 at seventeen. That was an average increase of just over three levels of Soul Power per year. Her cultivation speed was merely comparable to someone with Innate Full Soul Power.

Qin Heng immediately complained inwardly, Xue'er is really wasting such incredible talent. She's only level 58 at seventeen. In my previous life, I had Innate Full Soul Power and was already a level 42 Soul Ancestor when I participated in the Soul Master Tournament at thirteen. By seventeen, I was already a Quasi-Soul Emperor.

Qian Renxue, who was comprehending the technique, nearly choked when she heard Qin Heng mock her. Her cultivation speed was unparalleled across the entire continent, yet Qin Heng actually called it slow.

But in the next instant, Qian Renxue fell silent.

I broke through to Soul Saint at twenty in my previous life. After obtaining my Martial Soul Avatar, the true abilities of Asura Armor revealed themselves, allowing me to create the Soul Spirit Method and change the cultivation system in which Soul Masters had to hunt soul beasts to obtain Soul Rings.

This gathered the Faith Power of countless humans and soul beasts. In no more than five years, I accomplished what the Angel God and Sea God had once needed a thousand years to achieve, becoming the God of Judgment.

If Bibi Dong, that crazy woman, hadn't been in such a rush to advance her Spirit Hall Empire plan and completely turned Spirit Hall against the two great empires, then given another five years to perfect the technique, spread it across the entire Douluo Continent, and take care of the neighboring Sun Moon Continent as well, I could have ascended to the position of God King in one stroke.

Even if that Little Scoundrel inherited the Divine Position of the Asura God King, so what?

As Qian Renxue listened, she gradually lowered her head. Compared to Qin Heng, she was practically nothing.

In his previous life, Qin Heng had cultivated faster than her even with Innate Full Soul Power. In this life, there was even less need to mention it—he would only reach godhood faster. She had to work even harder!

An hour later, Qian Renxue had memorized the circulation route of the Wuji Technique.

Qin Heng then said, "Xue'er, the technique you cultivate is merely suitable for everyone. You can improve it according to the attributes of your own Soul Power. As for me, I follow the path of Yin-Yang Harmony."

As he spoke, Qin Heng demonstrated the characteristics of his Soul Power to Qian Renxue.

Qian Daoliu, standing nearby, deliberately asked, "Kid, are you planning to spread this technique throughout the continent?"

"Yes, Grandpa Qian. I want to spread this technique across the continent, but not all of it. This technique is already perfect, especially the portion involving the cultivation of the Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels. That absolutely cannot be shared publicly. It can only be a top secret cultivated by the direct lineage of Spirit Hall. What I intend to spread is the technique itself—this entirely new cultivation method."

"Even without the portion involving the Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels, this technique absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth more than twenty percent faster than Spirit Hall's current advanced meditation methods. If this cultivation method is promoted as you say, the entire world of Soul Masters will undergo tremendous changes. And the person who created this cultivation method will gain considerable prestige as well." Qian Renxue looked at Qin Heng and spoke each word clearly.

Qin Heng smiled faintly as his inner voice sounded again. Xue'er is right. If the speed at which the meditation methods taught by junior Soul Master academies absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is considered 1, then the meditation methods improved through generations of experience by the major powers and clans would be roughly 1.2 to 1.3 times as fast.

Even excluding the cultivation method for the Extraordinary Meridians and Eight Vessels, its cultivation efficiency is still 1.5 times that of the meditation methods taught by junior Soul Master academies.

This absorption efficiency surpasses the limits of meditation methods. It is enough to render every conventional meditation method obsolete.

Furthermore, its underlying structure of circulating energy through the meridians rather than relying solely on Martial Soul guidance is enough to nullify the cultivation experience that major sects have accumulated through countless years and generations of disciples.

Not to mention that as it is gradually developed, the technique's efficiency in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can continue to improve. To the Soul Master world, this is simply a devastating upheaval.

Human talent has limits. Although this new style of meditation cannot break those limits, it can influence them indirectly.

By cultivating this new style of meditation, Soul Masters can reach their own limits more quickly while they are still young, then use greater accumulation and time in the years that follow to attempt breakthroughs. That way, Soul Masters may be able to reach higher realms.

Soul Masters who obtain the technique will, more or less, feel a trace of gratitude toward its creator. At the very least, it will make the creator known to them. That is the foundation for gaining Faith Power.

There is another advantage as well: this new cultivation method can offer a higher ceiling. But that also means the meditation methods passed down through countless generations by those great clans and sects will become problematic. If they cannot continue adapting to this new system, they may be dragged down from their pedestals.

This will also greatly benefit Spirit Hall's future plans. If there is concern that Spirit Hall's younger generation may not adapt to the technique, Grandpa Qian can delay its promotion by one or two years and let Spirit Hall's younger Soul Masters adapt to it first.

As for direct-line disciples who can be trusted, they can be taught the Wuji Technique directly. That will widen the gap between Spirit Hall and the other powers as well.

Qin Heng's inner thoughts covered every angle, clearly analyzing the benefits that spreading the technique would bring to Spirit Hall, the benefits to himself, its future effects on Spirit Hall, and its impact on the Soul Master world.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were utterly shaken. They felt as though Qin Heng had completely crushed them intellectually. How could he be so clever? No wonder he had created such a miraculous technique and even gathered Faith Power on his own to become a god. He was truly incredible!

Facing Qin Heng, Qian Renxue suddenly felt deeply inferior.
