Formal Training Begins? Too Simple!

The next morning, Lin Ye walked out of the dormitory feeling refreshed.

He happened to run into Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as they were leaving their room.

"Yo~ Up so early?"

Seeing the two of them, Lin Ye was genuinely a little surprised.

Were people cultivating so diligently these days?

Waking up so early!

"Morning, morning."

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was stiff, and the bloodshot eyes were faintly visible.

Ning Rongrong was even more exaggerated, emerging with panda eyes.

"What's wrong? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Lin Ye inquired. They were classmates, after all, and reasonable concern was necessary.

"No, slept really well, really well."

Ning Rongrong shook her head and pulled Zhu Zhuqing along as they left.

Lin Ye was completely bewildered, scratching his head.

Did they go stealing chickens last night? They definitely didn't sleep!

Staying up late is bad for your health. When you get old, it'll be too late to regret it.

Hearing his thoughts, Ning Rongrong roared internally.

Bastard!

The sounds from last night had tormented her terribly, only subsiding around dawn. She hadn't been able to sleep at all!

Zhu Zhuqing was in the same situation. Being able to hear thoughts was a good thing, but sometimes those strange noises were simply unbearable.

This guy's mind was so active even when he was doing bad things!

He even provided commentary!

But Xiao Wu was really brave. Wearing that kind of pajamas, and in the academy no less, to get Lin Ye.

Wasn't she afraid of being discovered?

After breakfast, they arrived at the training ground. Zhao Wuji was in charge of their training.

"Where's Xiao Wu?"

Zhao Wuji took a look. Four out of five people were present; Xiao Wu was nowhere to be seen.

"Ahem~ Xiao Wu isn't feeling well and is resting."

"Not feeling well?"

Zhao Wuji thought for a moment and suddenly understood.

"If she's not feeling well, she should rest properly. Young people need to know how to exercise restraint."

Lin Ye gave a dry laugh, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing rolled their eyes.

Did this guy know restraint?

The thoughts from last night had completely reordered their worldview.

It was likely that this guy, having tasted the sweetness, would only become more frenzied.

And they were the ones who would suffer.

His thoughts were exceptionally active when he was doing things, and they simply couldn't handle it.

Oscar looked at Lin Ye, naturally understanding what was going on.

Envy, true envy.

They were all young, yet Lin Ye was living so freely within the academy.

And him?

He could only go to Soto City for some fun when Dai Mubai occasionally treated him.

But now Dai Mubai had been sentenced to three years.

It was highly unlikely Dai Mubai would be out within three years.

This meant he had to rely on the Five Maidens to get through the next five years.

Or use the subsidies from Spirit Hall for occasional indulgence.

He currently received ten Gold Soul Coins a month.

There were no problems with his living expenses, but if he wanted to have fun, he'd have to save up and be frugal.

If all else failed, he'd have to find older women whose expenses would be much lower.

"Alright, let's begin the formal training. For Soul Masters, practical experience is very important. But theoretical knowledge cannot be neglected either."

"I'll be responsible for your practical combat training, and also for pointing out any issues with your meditation."

The primary way for Soul Masters to increase their Soul Power is through meditation.

This is the most basic and common cultivation method.

Through sitting in meditation, Soul Masters absorb the Soul Power of heaven and earth, which is also known as the vital energy of heaven and earth, thereby increasing their own Soul Power level.

The method progresses slowly but builds a solid foundation, suitable for the vast majority of ordinary Soul Masters.

Even at Shrek Academy, this is basically the method used.

Besides meditation, there are other methods such as accumulating experience through combat, suppressing Soul Power, and promoting Soul Power accumulation.

Shrek has sufficient advantages in this regard because the teachers' levels are indeed very high.

And their experience is also very rich!

"Now we'll begin practical combat training. Without enough combat experience, all the Soul Power in the world is useless."

"So, you little brats, are you ready?"

Lin Ye's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this.

"Ready!"

As the words fell, his Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Martial Soul was summoned, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Zhao Wuji: "..."

Damn it, he strongly suspected this kid was up to no good.

The scene of the entrance examination was still vivid in his mind.

This super monster couldn't be judged by common sense.

His combat experience was already very rich, and his attack techniques were extremely domineering and sharp.

"Lin Ye, you just watch from the side."

Zhao Wuji made a decisive choice.

If this kid Lin Ye also participated in the practical combat training, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

Having witnessed the power of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Martial Soul, he didn't want to test it again.

Especially if he received amplification from Ning Rongrong, this kid's Soul Power would be terrifying.

He might be seriously injured!

"Why? This isn't fair?"

Lin Ye was dumbfounded. He came to Shrek to study, but now they were excluding him, what did that mean?

They were all students, why the differential treatment?

Zhao Wuji was speechless.

Did this kid even know what fairness was?

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was such a terrifying Martial Soul, it was inherently unfair.

Especially his Soul Ring Configuration, it was simply heaven-defying.

With a cultivation of over level sixty Soul Emperor, even he, a level seventy-plus Soul Saint, felt intimidated.

"There's nothing unfair about it, this is how it's decided!"

"This training is too simple for you, you don't need to participate in this kind of training in the future."

Zhao Wuji genuinely didn't want to fight Lin Ye.

If they fought, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

It was more comfortable to deal with Ning Rongrong and the others, without worrying about being tormented.

Moreover, he knew that Lin Ye definitely had his own cultivation methods.

If he interfered, it might actually delay Lin Ye.

Therefore, Lin Ye's best option was to cultivate on his own.

He needed to discuss this matter with Flender as well. Regarding Lin Ye's path of study, they needed to have a good discussion.

With the academy's current capabilities, it seemed truly unable to provide him with any training.

He was already over level sixty, and might reach Soul Saint in another year or two.

And he and Flender were both Soul Saints, so what guidance could they possibly offer Lin Ye?

Facing Zhao Wuji's insistence, Lin Ye could only retreat to the side.

He had originally thought it would be a bit interesting, but he never expected this.

It was truly disappointing, he might as well just clock in honestly.

There was no fun to be had!

Oscar looked at Lin Ye, who didn't have to participate in the training, with genuine envy.

What was this guy's cultivation level? Why did Teacher Zhao say the training was too simple for him?

"Teacher Zhao, why doesn't Lin Ye have to participate in the training? Is there any special reason?"

Unable to suppress his curiosity, he asked.

Zhao Wuji snorted, "You don't want to participate either? Fine, you don't have to when you reach Soul Emperor!"

"S-Soul Emperor?"

Oscar's jaw dropped. He hadn't heard of that before.

Soul Emperor?

So, Lin Ye was actually a Soul Emperor expert?

Holy crap!

How was that possible?

He was only twelve years old!

This was a joke, it had to be a joke.

Oscar couldn't believe such a thing, because the history of the Soul Master World had never seen such a prodigy.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old Soul Emperor was possible, but twelve years old?

It was simply impossible!
