Those Who Know, Know; Those Who Don't Won't Understand Even If Told

"Um... Teacher told us to learn combat techniques from you." Hu Liena was somewhat afraid of Uchiha Huan.

Uchiha Huan created a clone. "You don't need to come here. Starting tomorrow, pick a place to practice. My clone will conduct sparring training with you."

What? We were the dignified Golden Generation, and he was sending just one clone to train with us?

The Golden Three Idiots were furious, though they were only furious for a moment.

"I'm very tired. Stop bothering me." Uchiha Huan waved his hand and turned to head back home.

There were still four miner clones at home, hiding there to cultivate.

The moment they saw Uchiha Huan return, the four miner clones immediately dispelled themselves.

All the Soul Power they had cultivated during this time flowed back into Uchiha Huan's body.

Level 24, Level 25, Level 26, Level 27!

Uchiha Huan took a deep breath. The abundant Soul Power made every bone in his body stretch pleasantly.

But immediately afterward, Uchiha Huan noticed that his Soul Power was somewhat unstable.

Because this Soul Power had all been cultivated by his clones, it had not undergone compression through his physical body, making it feel low in quality to Uchiha Huan.

It seemed he could not rush to absorb his third Spirit Ring. He needed to settle down, condense his Soul Power, and stabilize his cultivation.

Not long after Uchiha Huan returned, Yue Guan hurried over.

"Xiao Huan, did you take the risk of absorbing a 5,500-year Spirit Ring? Show it to me." Yue Guan's tone was extremely certain.

He understood Uchiha Huan's personality. Since Uchiha Huan had already made up his mind, and since he had been gone for so long, he must have already absorbed the Spirit Ring.

Uchiha Huan released his Spirit Rings: one purple, one black.

Yue Guan's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with shock. "How is that possible? Wasn't your first Spirit Ring a hundred-year Spirit Ring? And what's going on with your second Spirit Ring?"

"I don't know what happened. Go ask the Pope." Uchiha Huan did not feel like explaining right now.

"What kind of attitude is that? I'm your teacher."

"Old Chrysanthemum, I'm exhausted. I worked so hard outside to improve my strength. Wasn't it so I could support you in your old age someday? Can't you be a little understanding?"

"Did I force you to work so hard? I'd rather you cultivate slowly in Spirit City than go out risking your life every day."

"Wait..." Uchiha Huan pinched the bridge of his nose. Why did this conversation sound like a hardworking husband and a wife hoping for his company?

Yue Guan also realized the issue. The master and disciple exchanged a glance, then immediately looked away.

"Um... I have something to do. I'll be leaving first."

"Oh... Old Chrysanthemum, take care."

Yue Guan immediately headed for Pope Hall.

"Yue Guan, has your disciple returned?"

"Yes, Your Holiness. Xiao Huan has returned."

"Mm, he should have two rings now, right?"

Bibi Dong could not help sighing. Uchiha Huan's talent was truly exceptional, and more importantly, his combat instincts were incredibly strong.

Back then, she herself had only reached Level 20 at the age of nine.

But Uchiha Huan was only seven, yet he had already reached Level 20.

Even she envied Uchiha Huan's first soul skill. It was practically a divine skill.

Whether in battle or cultivation, it was immensely useful.

"Your Holiness, I have a question."

"What question?"

"My disciple's first and second Spirit Rings have turned purple and black. He said Your Holiness knew the reason."

"What?!" Bibi Dong abruptly rose from the Pope's throne, staring at Yue Guan in astonishment. "Have the ages of his Spirit Rings truly changed?"

"That is correct."

Bibi Dong was both shocked and delighted. A God Trial Candidate! He was definitely a God Trial Candidate!

"Your disciple has been chosen by a god," Bibi Dong said. "The increase in his Spirit Ring ages should be a reward from the god."

Yue Guan drew in a sharp breath, followed by overwhelming delight.

"Hahaha..." Yue Guan laughed heartily, but then realized he was in Pope Hall and hurriedly restrained himself. Still, he could not hide the smile on his face.

Considering his disciple's unprecedented talent, it was hardly surprising that a god had taken notice of him.

"Teach him well. In the future, he will become my right-hand man."

"Yes, Your Holiness."

After leaving Pope Hall, Yue Guan found a cloud of ghostly mist appearing before him. It quickly took human form.

The newcomer was Gui Mei, Yue Guan's best friend and a fellow Level 95 Super Douluo.

"Huh, Old Ghost, how did you know my disciple received a God Trial?"

"???" Gui Mei looked utterly confused. He had no idea.

Still, he was very happy that Yue Guan had taken in such an outstanding disciple.

"I heard long ago that you had taken in a disciple, but I've been carrying out missions outside for over a year. It's about time I prepared a grand gift for your disciple."

Gui Mei had not expected Yue Guan's disciple to be so outstanding.

"Come on, let's go see my disciple right now." Yue Guan wanted more people to know just how exceptional his disciple was.

The moment the two arrived at Uchiha Huan's small courtyard, they found him soaking in the bathtub—and asleep.

"Your disciple certainly knows how to enjoy himself." Gui Mei could not help laughing.

Knock, knock, knock—

Yue Guan raised his foot and kicked the bathtub a few times.

Uchiha Huan opened his eyes and looked at Yue Guan. "Old Chrysanthemum, what do you want now?"

"Xiao Huan, let me introduce someone. Gui Mei, my best brother."

"Uncle Gui." Uchiha Huan stood up and cupped his hands in greeting.

Gui Mei looked at the naked Uchiha Huan. "Actually, you don't have to bow... Hm? What level are you now?"

"Level 27, almost Level 28." Uchiha Huan spoke with a troubled expression.

"Hiss... Level 27? Why do you still look unhappy?"

"My Soul Power has risen a little too quickly. I feel it isn't condensed enough. Using soul skills consumes more Soul Power, and I estimate that the quality of my Soul Power is only comparable to that of a Level 24 Soul Grandmaster."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei both carefully examined Uchiha Huan. Sure enough, his Soul Power did feel somewhat unstable.

"Old Chrysanthemum, you didn't give Xiao Huan some medicine that rapidly raises Soul Power but damages his foundation, did you?"

"How could I do something that ruins his future? But Xiao Huan's situation is indeed rather special." Yue Guan explained Uchiha Huan's first soul skill.

Gui Mei revealed a startled expression. "No wonder."

"Now it seems that cultivating too quickly isn't necessarily a good thing." Yue Guan also felt troubled.

The only method they knew for condensing Soul Power was to slowly grind it out over time, using the body to compress Soul Power bit by bit.

But that would undoubtedly slow Uchiha Huan's cultivation speed.

If that happened, Uchiha Huan's advantage would vanish completely.

Perhaps he would still be faster than most geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power, but he would no longer hold much of an advantage.

Uchiha Huan was also thinking of a solution.

After thinking it over, Uchiha Huan suddenly recalled the Soul Core cultivation method from Douluo II, ten thousand years in the future.

Ten thousand years later, Titled Douluo would be everywhere, and Soul Douluo would be worthless. Much of that was because of Soul Cores.

To condense a Soul Core, one first needed the Mental Power of a Titled Douluo—and that was precisely what Uchiha Huan lacked the least.

One used Mental Power to control Soul Power and form a vortex, then built up Soul Power inertia before compressing it continuously until it formed a solid Soul Power entity.

But while Uchiha Huan had enough Mental Power, he did not have enough Soul Power.

A Titled Douluo's Soul Power was like a lake, while Uchiha Huan's was merely a puddle. No matter how he stirred it with Mental Power, he could not make a puddle form a vortex.

It seemed he would have to slowly wait it out. Uchiha Huan shook his head.
