Three Times the Cultivation Speed—How Were Others Supposed to Compete?!

Qian Renheng nodded slightly at that. It was only fair; there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Ming Ji and Chun Xing were extensions of him. The fact that they could fight independently was already unimaginable. If they did not consume his Soul Power, could they conjure it out of thin air?!

"Hee-hee—"

Chun Xing, hanging from Qian Renheng's back, sensed the joy in his heart and happily laughed along with him.

"Was Master shocked by our abilities? If we run into bad people in the future, you and Sister can charge into battle and knock them down, while I'll support you and Sister Ming Ji."

Although Qian Renheng had yet to attach any Soul Rings to his second martial soul, the Healing ability it possessed was still incredibly formidable.

"Then it's settled." Qian Renheng smiled faintly, then began pondering other matters.

"They possess extraordinary intelligence and can even fight on their own..."

He was not content with the status quo. Suddenly, inspiration struck, and a downright crazy idea surfaced in his mind.

"Ming Ji, Chun Xing, starting now, follow the meditation method I usually use for cultivation. Try to see whether you can absorb the unaligned Soul Power drifting between heaven and earth!"

Ming Ji and Chun Xing were both stunned. They were supposed to refine Soul Power themselves?! Could that really work? Yet out of absolute obedience to their master, neither of them voiced any doubts.

"As you command, Master!" Ming Ji and Chun Xing said in unison, beginning to sense the unaligned Soul Power drifting through heaven and earth.

Second by second, time passed. A moment later, Qian Renheng's body suddenly jolted, and his eyes widened!

He could clearly feel that after Ming Ji and Chun Xing began trying to refine Soul Power,

two streams of incomparably pure Soul Power, requiring no deliberate refinement from him whatsoever, were continuously flowing through the invisible bond between him and his martial souls into his dantian!

The cultivation speed far surpassed his own—roughly twice as fast!

"It really works! I actually guessed right!" Qian Renheng was so excited he nearly jumped up. He laughed loudly. "My martial souls possess extraordinary intelligence. They really can refine the Soul Power drifting between heaven and earth in my place!"

"The Soul Power they refine will directly feed back into my dantian and become my cultivation!"

"In other words, with Ming Ji and Chun Xing—these two Detached Martial Souls—I fucking have two portable cheats that cultivate automatically around the clock?!"

"In terms of combat power, I'm equivalent to three combat units. As for daily cultivation, I'm also three times faster than an ordinary soul master!"

This earth-shattering discovery truly stunned him to the core. Before this, if he had not realized that Ming Ji and Chun Xing possessed such intelligence,

he would never have dared make such a connection.

After all, having martial souls sit in meditation and cultivate on their own? If he said that aloud, a whole crowd would probably think he had gone mad from wanting to cultivate.

"Hee-hee—"

Seeing how happy her master was, Chun Xing had no idea what exactly he was happy about, but she still grinned foolishly along with him.

"Innate level twenty Soul Power, Whale Rubber as a foundation to absorb Soul Rings beyond their age limit, and now a cultivation speed three times that of an ordinary soul master?"

"And the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye is still waiting for me to claim it." Qian Renheng rubbed his chin, silently calculating his heaven-defying talent and opportunities. He could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

"Isn't my talent and setup a little too overpowered? How are other soul masters supposed to compete?!"

"In the future, the soul master world will marvel that Tang Hao, the one wielding the giant hammer, was the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent!"

"But what if I become a Titled Douluo in my teens? Wouldn't that be unprecedented throughout history?!"

He had the confidence to reach the realm of Titled Douluo before the age of twenty.

After all, only a few days had passed since he awakened his martial souls?!

And what was his Soul Power level now? After absorbing two thousand-year Soul Rings, fed back by the Soul Power within those two rings, his Soul Power level had shot up like a rocket to level twenty-seven.

Once he settled his foundation a little and reached the level thirty threshold, he could absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as his third Soul Ring.

Then, with the vastly greater Soul Power fed back by that Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, his Soul Power level would inevitably undergo another explosive leap!

Add to that his cheat that could cultivate automatically twenty-four hours a day, as well as the immortal herbs he was about to obtain.

Becoming a Titled Douluo in his teens—was that goal excessive? Not at all!!!

"Hm? Master, this is strange."

Just as Qian Renheng was envisioning the future, Ming Ji slowly opened her eyes and exited her cultivation state, a look of surprise appearing on her exquisite face.

"I truly did sense the Soul Power drifting between heaven and earth just now, and I was continuously absorbing it."

"But... all the Soul Power I absorbed somehow disappeared. Why is that?"

From discovering that she could cultivate to having the Soul Power she cultivated disappear, Ming Ji felt somewhat troubled.

"Cough, cough—" Hearing Ming Ji's question, Qian Renheng said with a straight face, "Well, Ming Ji, what you're experiencing is perfectly normal!"

"After all, you are both my martial souls. We are inherently one and share the same origin. Since you can refine Soul Power,"

"then that Soul Power will naturally follow the laws of heaven and earth and feed back into me, your host. Mm, there's nothing strange about that."

Ming Ji and Chun Xing both nodded innocently at his words.

"So that's how it is! We can cultivate and even feed back to Master?! Hee-hee, I'm so happy!"

"Then by that calculation, Master, you don't need to do anything at all. As long as we cultivate,"

"your cultivation speed will still be twice that of others?! And if you cultivate too, wouldn't that make it three times faster than theirs?!" Chun Xing counted on her fingers, then opened her mouth wide in astonishment.

"Exactly!"

Qian Renheng clasped his hands behind his back, looking at his two martial souls with a faint curl at the corner of his lips.

"So, as Qian Renheng's martial souls, look how difficult your master's life is."

"To strengthen Spirit Hall and deal with all sorts of tedious matters, I work so hard every day. I put in so much effort."

Qian Renheng coaxed them, "Since your master is already working so desperately, how can the two of you, as martial souls, be embarrassed to lie inside me sleeping soundly and waste your days away?!"

"For the sake of our bright future, starting today, you don't need to return to my body. Just stay outside and cultivate without interruption all day long!"

"Yay, yay!"

The innocent Chun Xing did not think much of it at all. Hearing that she could remain outside, she was so delighted that she immediately clapped in agreement.

Yet she did not know that the black-hearted Qian Renheng was about to use them like beasts of burden.

When oxen grew tired, they could no longer work. When people grew tired, they rested. But when martial souls grew tired? Well, could martial souls even get tired?!

"Master, if we're both cultivating, what about you?"

Chun Xing looked at Qian Renheng with watery eyes and softly asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Me?"

Qian Renheng stretched lazily and smiled. "Naturally, I'll be thinking about matters that require more brainpower and are even more important, like saving the continent and strengthening Spirit Hall."

"Leave something as easy and simple as cultivation to you and Chun Xing."

His martial souls enjoyed themselves outside, while he, their master, had to rack his brains every day over saving the continent and strengthening Spirit Hall. Life truly was not easy!
