How Can You Sleep at Your Age?

Bai Ran: Easy. I'll just train the child of destiny like a dog, won't I?

Huo Yuhao: Siran Fist, thoughts flowing like a spring...

Bai Ran: Stop, stop, stop. I regret it.

Tang Wutong: Your husband. (Hahahaha!)

After obtaining this Soul Ring, Bai Ran's Soul Power level rose directly to level twenty-nine, just one final step away from level thirty.

Bai Ran: Whose lifetime? I won't say. (A certain master who only broke through level thirty at the age of fifty was suspected of swearing viciously.)

But Bai Ran was in no hurry to break through.

The Soul Power gained by absorbing a Soul Ring was far too unstable. He needed to return and properly consolidate it.

If he did not make himself a little stronger, how would he resist when Tang San put a dog collar around his neck in the future?

He could not exactly slap an ultrasound report across Tang San's forehead, could he?

Now that the Soul Ring business was finished, it was naturally time to pack up and return to the Clear Sky Sect.

The outskirts of Sunset Forest were manageable, but deep within it lay a colony of Jade-Scaled Sevenfold Flowers. The poisonous miasma it unleashed was enough to give even an Ultimate Douluo a headache.

As for getting an Immortal Herb for the two little ones to absorb?

Clearly, it was not time yet.

Besides, the Immortal Herbs within the Icefire Yin Yang Well had all reached the level of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Unless he arranged another sacrifice.

But Bai Ran had just been tricked once. How could he possibly fall into the same pit twice?

When they returned to the Clear Sky Sect, the sky had yet to brighten, leaving him just enough time to catch up on sleep.

Just kidding. He would sleep even if it were already daylight.

Bai Ran: In this enormous Clear Sky Sect, who would dare manage me? Who could manage me?!

However, not long after he fell asleep, a voice he least wanted to hear rang out beside his ear.

"How can you sleep at your age? Get up already and test the effects of my Soul Skill with me."

"Come on, can't you let me sleep a little longer?"

For Soul Masters, only after reaching Soul Elder could they gradually use meditation to replace sleep.

Besides, he was still at the age where he needed to grow. What if he did not sleep enough and ended up too short?

"You can sleep whenever you want, but I can't wait any longer."

This was a Ten-Thousand-Year second ring. Even Father had only obtained his first Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring after breaking through to Soul Ancestor.

In a sense, did this count as the student surpassing the master?

Tang Wutong: Old man, polish my shoes.

"Serves you right for being so impatient."

As Bai Ran spoke, he rolled over.

When he had first obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, Bai Ran had indeed badly wanted to test its Soul Skill.

But now, sleepiness was overwhelming him.

Forget a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill—even if it were a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Skill, Bai Ran had no interest whatsoever.

Nothing was bigger than sleep.

"Hey, get up for me!"

"I'm too lazy to move~"

As Bai Ran spoke, he wrapped himself more tightly in his little blanket.

Sleeping really was a wonderful thing.

Especially when his consciousness was hazy and his eyelids could barely stay open—going back to sleep was the most comfortable feeling of all. (Office workers were not recommended to try this, or their pay might get docked.)

"Hmph, then I'll sleep a little more too!"

As Tang Wutong spoke, she turned into a streak of light and merged into Bai Ran's body.

Using the fiercest tone to say the most cowardly words—only you could do that, Haki Tong.

This nap lasted until the afternoon.

After waking up and washing up, the first thing Bai Ran did was go find Da Ming and Er Ming.

He wanted to ask them for the Clear Sky Sect's cultivation technique.

Come to think of it, Bai Ran did not even have a meditation method for cultivation yet.

After all, he had previously only been a child picked up by an outer sect steward.

Oh, right. He should visit Grandpa later, tell him not to worry, and let him know that he had caught the attention of the sect's elders. From now on, he would no longer be bullied by the other disciples.

Bullying existed everywhere.

In a traditional sect like the Clear Sky Sect, it was even more severe.

Direct-line disciples with the Clear Sky Hammer looked down on collateral-line disciples who had awakened other martial souls.

Then the collateral-line disciples looked down on disciples from affiliated sects.

"The Clear Sky Sect's cultivation technique? Do you want to cultivate the Clear Sky Nine Arts?"

After learning of Bai Ran's request, Da Ming looked slightly troubled.

Strictly speaking, neither he nor Er Ming truly counted as members of the Clear Sky Sect. They were more like honorary affiliates.

Therefore, secret manuals for Clear Sky Sect ultimate arts such as the Clear Sky Nine Arts and the Great Sumeru Hammer were not in their possession.

"Why would I cultivate the Clear Sky Nine Arts?"

If it were Wang Dong'er from the original story, who possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, then cultivating the Clear Sky Nine Arts would make sense.

But one of Bai Ran's Tang Wutong martial souls was the Sea God's Trident.

Although the Sea God's Trident at its peak could weigh one hundred and eight thousand jin, more than ten times the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer at its peak.

The Sea God's Trident had dedicated divine skills. Wasn't that far better than the Clear Sky Nine Arts?

Tang San: Do you think I'd teach you?

Bai Ran: Old man, is it safe to park the ghostfire motorcycle at your doorstep?

Tang San: Take the Golden Thirteen Halberds and get lost!

"Then what do you want?"

"I want a meditation method. Otherwise, if I rely solely on natural growth, when the hell will I ever break through?"

"Oh, that? How about you use my meditation method first?"

After all, Da Ming was a divine officer and the divine beast Azure Bull Python. His cultivation method was obviously far stronger than those available on the market.

"The Azure Dragon Transformation Art?"

Bai Ran: Why not just call it the Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Art?
