Elite Class's Plan

"Nothing!" The two of them shook their heads.

Then they sat down cross-legged and began recovering their Soul Power. Once they had fully recovered, the two girls opened their eyes in delight.

"Xiao Liang, I feel like controlling my Soul Power is a little easier than before. It almost feels like I can wield it however I want," Dugu Yan said excitedly.

"However, I don't feel like my Soul Power has become more condensed!" Dugu Yan sensed it for a moment, then shook her head.

"That's perfectly normal. This is your first time cultivating this way, so how could it take effect immediately? The fact that you can control it more easily already proves that this kind of cultivation is effective!"

Zhou Liang shook his head as he spoke to Dugu Yan. Then he turned to look at Xiao Wu.

"My Soul Power went up by one level!" Xiao Wu's face was full of joy, and she couldn't help smiling.

"It went up by one level?" Dugu Yan said in surprise.

"Yes! I didn't expect Xiao Liang's cultivation method to have such a good effect." Xiao Wu nodded excitedly.

"It should be because Xiao Wu was already close to leveling up, and there is also a gap between her Soul Power level and mine. That's why the effect was so good!" After thinking it over, Zhou Liang explained to the two girls.

"Even so, the effect is still incredibly powerful. If we train like this with Xiao Liang every day after cultivating in the Mimic Training Grounds, our Soul Power will definitely increase much faster than that of people our age," Dugu Yan said with a sigh as she looked at Zhou Liang.

"That's right! That's right! Xiao Liang, whether we can become stronger than everyone else will depend on you." Xiao Wu nodded.

"Stop praising me, you two. Let's go back to the dorms and take a bath first. Then we can go eat." Zhou Liang looked at the sky and spoke to them.

The two girls nodded, then returned to the dorms with Zhou Liang.

In the girls' bathhouse, Xiao Wu and Dugu Yan lay in a mist-shrouded pool, their hair wrapped in pink towels.

"Um, thank you for today!" Xiao Wu kept glancing at Dugu Yan from time to time before finally thanking her.

"It's nothing. Since we'll inevitably be living together in the future, we might as well get along properly." Dugu Yan shook her head indifferently.

"What do you mean, living together?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened.

"I like Zhou Liang. I've already decided that he's the one for me in this life. No matter what happens in the future, I'll marry him!" Dugu Yan suddenly smiled as she looked at Xiao Wu through the mist.

"Y-you... what are you talking about? You're still so young!" Xiao Wu said in astonishment.

"You like Zhou Liang too, don't you?" Dugu Yan suddenly asked Xiao Wu.

"N-no... I don't!" Xiao Wu stammered.

Dugu Yan said nothing as she watched Xiao Wu's reaction.

Xiao Wu's face gradually turned completely red.

Meanwhile, Zhou Liang suddenly discovered that one of his tasks had been completed.

Hm! Dugu Yan's task is complete! Zhou Liang thought in surprise.

Zhou Liang stood up. It was about time to head to the cafeteria with the two girls for dinner.

Over the following days, an additional training session was added to their daily cultivation: training under Soul Power pressure.

Before long, the effects began to show. The three of them improved their Soul Power faster than before.

Half a year later, Xiao Wu directly advanced to level 20.

"Xiao Liangliang, this is the training you've been doing lately?" Liu Erlong asked in astonishment after listening to Zhou Liang's explanation.

"Yes, Master. Since I wasn't sure of the effects, I wanted to continue for a while and wait until there were clear results before telling you." Zhou Liang nodded.

"This is far more than just some effect. Xiao Wu directly reached level 20, and Dugu Yan has been at level 29 for quite some time. The results are astonishing!" Liu Erlong could not suppress her surprise as she looked at the documents in her hand.

"Master, ever since I discovered this ability, I've had an idea. I just didn't mention it because I hadn't confirmed the effects yet." Zhou Liang looked at Liu Erlong.

"What idea?" Liu Erlong asked curiously.

"I want to establish an Elite Class. We can select talented students with potential from every grade, form an Elite Class, and give them specialized instruction. That way, we can fully develop their talents while also preparing for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament," Zhou Liang said to Liu Erlong.

"An Elite Class! It's a feasible idea, but the academy's teaching staff isn't sufficient. I'm afraid we won't be able to gather enough outstanding teachers." Although Liu Erlong strongly agreed with the idea, she still pointed out the greatest difficulty.

"Master, we can start with a semi-independent Elite Class!" Zhou Liang said after giving it some thought.

"Semi-independent?" Liu Erlong frowned in confusion.

"Yes, semi-independent! Their regular classes would still be held in their original classrooms. We would only adjust their schedules and free up two hours every day for Soul Power pressure training with me, along with some unique training. This way, we won't need dedicated teaching staff, while still being able to select elites for specialized training," Zhou Liang explained.

Liu Erlong's furrowed brows gradually relaxed as she carefully considered the training method Zhou Liang had proposed.

"This method is feasible, but Xiao Liangliang, will it affect your own cultivation? Don't let the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament hold you back." Liu Erlong looked at Zhou Liang.

"I already spend two hours every day on pressure training. During training, the entire training grounds are filled with pressure. Them standing nearby won't interfere with me." Zhou Liang shook his head.

"All right. Once I take Xiao Wu to hunt for her Soul Ring and return, we'll select suitable candidates from every grade." Liu Erlong nodded decisively.

Afterward, Liu Erlong wasted no time. Once she had arranged the academy's affairs, she took Xiao Wu out to hunt for a Soul Ring.

Liu Erlong went personally this time because the academy lacked teaching staff and had no one else available. Left with no choice, she could only take Xiao Wu herself to hunt for a Soul Ring.

Over the next few days, Zhou Liang continued cultivating as usual. Whenever he stopped, he began studying the knowledge of meridians and acupoints within his cultivation technique.

Xiao Wu was naturally extremely flexible, and combined with the effects of her first soul skill, the first thing Zhou Liang thought of was Soft Fist.

That led him to think of acupoint striking in martial arts novels. A flexible body could also unleash tremendous power, so he had been studying this area of knowledge.

He had finally made some progress. Although it was still extremely crude, if he succeeded in developing it, Xiao Wu would gain another method of fighting enemies.

As Zhou Liang studied the acupoints on his left hand, he tried pressing them one by one.

After countless presses, Zhou Liang's entire arm suddenly went numb.
