Half a year has passed, and You Jie's soul power has already reached level thirty-four.

It seems decent enough, but for some reason, You Jie always feels that this cultivation speed is still not enough.

After defeating Xu Sanshi once again with a Scrap Iron Fist, You Jie seems to have realized something.

Although his physical strength is considered quite good within Shrek Academy, it still falls far short when compared to those duelists!

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Seto Kaiba, who loves to jump out of planes, his physical fitness has already reached a terrifying level.

Perhaps a duelist's physical fitness is already comparable to that of a Super True Rookie.

Therefore, You Jie intends to shift the focus of his upcoming training appropriately toward physical conditioning.

However, considering physical strength training here at Shrek Academy, there is a high probability of being dragged along to run laps, or even having to run while wearing shoddily made iron vests.

Although Shrek Academy has quite excellent healing-type soul masters, and You Jie could invite them to treat him given his connections, that would be seeking out unnecessary suffering.

Thus, You Jie decided to ask Mu En for advice directly.

"Mystic Ancestor, is there any training method suitable for me that can improve my physical strength?"

"Oh? Why are you in such a rush to improve your physical strength?"

Lying on his recliner, Mu En did not answer immediately, but instead asked with what seemed to be keen interest.

"My martial soul belongs to the summoning type. Even compared to tool soul masters and support soul masters, the boost my martial soul provides to my own physical strength is very limited."

"Although this problem might be solved through soul skills obtained in the future, that is, after all, uncertain."

"Moreover, I have already felt that when facing soul masters of the same level in battle, my physical fitness is starting to fall behind."

He was referring to how, before You Jie beat Xu Sanshi with the Scrap Iron Fist, he had been shaken quite uncomfortably by Xu Sanshi's Mysterious Underworld Shock.

Although judging by Xu Sanshi's reaction, his soul skill hadn't achieved much effect on You Jie at all, it still served as a wake-up call for You Jie.

After You Jie finished his explanation, Mu En lowered his head slightly and pondered for a short while, then, as if he had thought of something, he raised his head slightly once more.

Because Mu En always kept his eyes narrowed, You Jie did not notice that Mu En had already exchanged a look with Zhang Lexuan.

"No problem."

"Although your martial soul has mutated and is not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon that my lineage has always passed down, your physical strength has already exceeded my expectations, so the body-tempering method that my lineage has always passed down can also be used on you."

"However, since your martial soul is not a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, I still need to make certain adjustments to apply this method to you."

"For these next few days, continue your training as usual. Once I have finished organizing it, I will have Lexuan take you to begin your training."

The corners of Mu En's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had thought of something very interesting.

You Jie was completely unaware of this, and after thanking Mu En, he returned to his room to continue his cultivation.

Three days later.

"Sister Lexuan, where are you taking me?"

Looking at Zhang Lexuan as she led him into the Sea God Pavilion, You Jie felt a bad premonition for some reason.

"Elder Mu asked me to bring you here. The body-tempering method suitable for you is ready, but you still need to do some preparatory work."

Zhang Lexuan's voice remained gentle, but You Jie noticed that she seemed to be struggling to endure something, and even the smile at the corners of her mouth was a little unnatural.

However, You Jie was not worried about anything; Mu En was currently sunbathing at the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion, and Zhang Lexuan wouldn't do anything bad to him.

It couldn't possibly be that Ma Xiaotao would suddenly go berserk and burn him to death right in front of Zhang Lexuan and Mu En, could it?

Under Zhang Lexuan's guidance, You Jie arrived at a room beneath the Golden Ancient Tree of the Sea God Pavilion.

Because the entire Sea God Pavilion is a part of the Golden Ancient Tree, the overall tone of the room was warm, which made You Jie feel at ease.

However, looking at the double bed in the room, a set of table and chairs, and a small partitioned room to the side, this didn't seem like one of the one hundred and eight mimicry cultivation rooms beneath the Sea God Pavilion, did it?

With a "click," You Jie immediately looked toward the sound, only to see Zhang Lexuan smiling as she turned to close the door, even locking it.

"Sister Lexuan, this is..."

"Elder Mu helped you obtain a piece of high-quality ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber. After consuming it, you can significantly improve your physical strength, and then you will be able to improve your physical strength according to Elder Mu's method."

Zhang Lexuan maintained that gentle smile, taking out a jet-black piece of Whale Rubber and a soul tool flame burner from the storage soul tool she carried with her.

After placing the Whale Rubber on a plate on the table, Zhang Lexuan activated the flame burner to heat the piece of rubber.

After a period of time, under the roasting of the flames, a strange fragrance emanated from the Whale Rubber. The fragrance was very rich, yet it condensed without dispersing, lingering only around You Jie and Zhang Lexuan, who were sitting at the table.

The color of the Whale Rubber also underwent a slight change, gradually shifting from its original jet-black color toward gold.

As for the Whale Rubber itself, it began to become soft, and it seemed to have a certain degree of elasticity as well.

The next moment, Zhang Lexuan raised her hand to break off a small piece from the Whale Rubber, brought it to her lips and blew on it gently to lower the temperature slightly, then handed it to You Jie's mouth.

You Jie was stunned for a moment, and somewhat shyly accepted Zhang Lexuan's feeding.

The Whale Rubber did not taste good; upon entering his mouth, he could only feel a burst of rich, fishy odor, but this fishy odor quickly turned into a stream of heat that flowed into his abdomen, then spread to every part of his body.

As Zhang Lexuan fed the entire piece of Whale Rubber to You Jie, You Jie only felt that his body had been filled by that stream of heat, and his body was getting hotter and hotter.

Although You Jie immediately tried to enter a cultivation state to absorb this energy, just as he intended to do so, his wrist was grabbed by Zhang Lexuan.

Because the heat brought by the Whale Rubber made You Jie's body scorching, he only felt that Zhang Lexuan's hand was somewhat icy, but being held by her felt very comfortable, and even...

"Oh no, Sister Lexuan, I..."

Before You Jie could even attempt to struggle, the world spun around him, and in the next instant, he found himself lying on the bed with his clothes already pulled open.

You Jie stared at Zhang Lexuan in shock; she no longer wore her usual gentle and moving expression, looking instead like a predator that had just laid eyes on a delicious meal.

At this very moment, You Jie suddenly recalled the somewhat strange expression Mu En had worn three days ago, right before he agreed to his request.

Oh no, am I about to be locked in a secret room?!

Could a Soul Douluo actually be a secret-room Douluo?!

Mystic Ancestor, save me!

No, that old geezer Mu En looks like an honest man, but when it comes to relationships between men and women, he plays things quite...

"Rest assured, Little Jie, the excessive yang energy brought about by this Whale Rubber must be dissipated in time, or it will end up harming you..."

The last thing You Jie heard was Zhang Lexuan speaking in a tone quite unlike her usual style.
