The thirtieth day since Tang San's first mental breakdown.

Early that morning, Luo Fan opened his eyes as usual and sat up in bed.

The four Wood Clones meditating beside his bed vanished along with him!

His mental state was fine. He had already gotten used to it.

Along with that, the results of the four Wood Clones' cultivation were also fed back to Luo Fan.

Buzz!

As this feedback returned to Luo Fan, he felt as though his Soul Power had transformed into a brutal rod that directly pierced through a thin membrane.

His Soul Power rose smoothly by a whole level!

It went from Level 13 to Level 14.

"Although I'm spending about half my energy cultivating Rasengan right now, the four Wood Clones working together still took a month to raise my Soul Power by just one level? This speed seems a little slow!"

After silently estimating his cultivation speed, Luo Fan frowned, clearly dissatisfied.

Considering the number of Wood Clones he had, if he cultivated entirely on his own, wouldn't it take him nearly half a year to advance by one level?

In the original story, Tang San and Xiao Wu had both advanced from Level 10 to Level 29 by the time they graduated from Notting Junior Academy—an average of more than three levels a year.

More importantly, the higher one's Soul Power Level, the slower advancement became!

"However..."

Although he wasn't satisfied with the increase in his Soul Power Level, Luo Fan's thoughts shifted, and he released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul once more!

First Soul Skill, Wood Clone Technique!

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!

In an instant, five Wood Clones appeared before Luo Fan!

The sight lifted the corners of Luo Fan's mouth.

Not bad. After his Soul Power Level increased, his Wood Clone Technique could produce one more clone under the same burden!

Did this mean that whether he cultivated Soul Power or practiced Rasengan, his improvement speed had doubled again?

As the number of Wood Clones increased, other people might need to spend far more time cultivating as their Soul Power Levels rose.

But for him, perhaps the passage of time would remain constant?

Even if it increased, it would probably only be a slight increase!

"Wow, Big Brother Luo, you have one more Wood Clone!"

Just then, a surprised voice suddenly rang out.

Wang Sheng had happened to open his eyes, preparing to use the bathroom. When he saw the five Wood Clones, he initially thought his freshly awakened eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed them, counted again, and confirmed that there really were five Wood Clones before crying out in surprise.

Wang Sheng's shout woke everyone else in Dorm Seven. They all saw that Luo Fan's Wood Clone count had indeed increased by one!

"Big Brother Luo, your Wood Clones... how did you get one more?"

Xiao Wu's bed was right beside Luo Fan's. After waking up and seeing that Luo Fan had more Wood Clones, she couldn't help asking curiously.

The other roommates who had woken up also stared at Luo Fan in amazement.

"My Soul Power increased by one level, so I can release one more Wood Clone now!" There was nothing worth hiding, so Luo Fan answered honestly.

"Wow, Big Brother Luo, how long have you even been enrolled? Your Soul Power already went up another level? Your growth is way too fast!"

"Yeah, yeah! Big Brother Luo definitely increased by one level after obtaining his Soul Ring. Now he's increased by another level, so doesn't that make him Level 12?"

"Is this what a genius is? Good grief, I suddenly feel like I'm just here to make up the numbers!"

After hearing that Luo Fan's Soul Power Level had increased by one, the other roommates began speaking one after another, their faces filled with awe.

His actual Soul Power was Level 14, but they had mistaken it for Level 12. Luo Fan couldn't be bothered to correct them.

After all, none of them had ever absorbed a Soul Ring by surpassing their limits. Naturally, they didn't know that absorbing a Soul Ring beyond one's level could actually result in a much greater increase in Soul Power.

"Big Brother Luo, you previously cultivated with four Wood Clones, giving you four times the boost. Now that you have five, doesn't that mean you can get five times the boost?" Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled as she looked at Luo Fan and asked in amazement.

"That's right. In theory, it works that way!" Luo Fan nodded.

"Damn it, this guy's skill is way too unreasonable!"

In a corner of Dorm Seven, Tang San had naturally been woken up as well. Seeing Luo Fan's five Wood Clones and hearing his conversation with Xiao Wu, Tang San suffered another mental breakdown.

As his Soul Power increased, the number of Wood Clones could actually increase too?

More importantly, these Wood Clones could not only charge into battle together—they could even be used to assist with cultivation every day!

One month of Luo Fan's cultivation was equivalent to four or five months for someone else!

This Wood Clone Technique was practically a cheat!

At that moment, Tang San couldn't help recalling his first Soul Skill, Entangling!

Although his four-hundred-year first Soul Ring's Entangling skill was pretty good, and the Datura Snake had also given his martial soul a certain degree of poison and toughness...

They both had the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and they both possessed Innate Full Soul Power...

Compared to Luo Fan's Wood Clone Technique, his Entangling skill was practically a useless skill!

That morning, Luo Fan attended class as usual. After a month, the attention surrounding his thousand-year Soul Ring and his defeat of Tang San had finally died down.

By contrast, Luo Fan spent several hours every afternoon playing with a ball, claiming that he was creating his own Soul Skill. Many of those who had initially marveled at his talent had begun to look forward to seeing him make a fool of himself.

It was probably the mentality of believing that a prodigy like Zhong Yong would soon decline.

Luo Fan paid no attention to the strange looks from others. After eating lunch with Xiao Wu, he went as usual to his usual cultivation spot.

He created five Wood Clones. Including Luo Fan himself, each held a rubber ball in hand!

Soul Power surged into the rubber balls. Under the high-speed, chaotic rotation of the Soul Power, the balls twisted violently, as though something inside was trapped and trying to burst out!

With a loud bang!

Suddenly, the sound of a rubber ball exploding rang out. The commotion was far greater than the previous water-balloon explosions!

Luo Fan was overjoyed. After spending so long on it, had he finally completed the second stage of Rasengan?

Today really was a double celebration!

Next, he only needed to train the final third stage. Once that was done, his Rasengan would be completely mastered, right?

Meanwhile, after eating lunch, Tang San could no longer hold himself back and sought out Yu Xiaogang again!

"Teacher, why could Luo Fan's Blue Silver Grass awaken the Wood Clone Technique?"

"If only I could awaken the Wood Clone Technique too!"

"His thousand-year Soul Ring let him release four Wood Clones right from the start. Even if my physique is inferior to his and I can only absorb a four-hundred-year Soul Ring, as long as I could release three—no, even two Wood Clones—I could still cultivate at three times the speed of ordinary people!"

Tang San was consumed by envy, jealousy, and resentment!

After all, as his Soul Power increased, the number of Wood Clones would increase as well. Tang San, who had already treated Luo Fan as his imaginary enemy, could no longer keep his emotions under control.

Naturally, there was also a hint of blame toward Yu Xiaogang in his words!

Back when Yu Xiaogang had taken him to obtain his first Soul Ring, why hadn't he thought of getting him a Wood Clone Technique?

"Th-this..."

Yu Xiaogang could hear the reproach in Tang San's words, and his expression grew awkward.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer Tang San.
