Instruction

In Li Fan's dormitory, Li Fei learned more about his situation at the Spirit Academy. After confirming there were no issues, he left with peace of mind to find Hu Liena and the others.

Following the Soul Power fluctuations Hu Liena had given off earlier, Li Fei quickly arrived at a classroom. It was a complete mess inside. Fifteen students were scattered about, sitting around and roughhousing. Only the three led by Hu Liena occupied the center, while the other students were clearly afraid of them and did not dare approach.

According to the information he had read, these children had all become orphans for various reasons. Bibi Dong had arranged for her subordinates to bring them back from all over Douluo Continent. Having grown up in an environment of indoctrination since childhood, they were absolutely loyal to Spirit Hall.

"Quiet!" Li Fei shouted from the platform. His Soul Power erupted in an instant, and three over-limit Spirit Rings—purple, purple, and black—appeared. A violent pressure blanketed the entire classroom, making all the fifteen-year-old children flush red as they silently stared at Li Fei.

Even Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan did not dare speak. They stared at Li Fei's unprecedented Spirit Ring configuration in shock.

"Very good!" Li Fei swept his gaze around the room, nodded in satisfaction, and withdrew his Soul Power. "My name is Li Fei. I am eleven years old, a level-thirty-seven Battle Soul Elder, and your instructor for the coming year. Everyone, gather at the Mimicry Training Ground!"

At his words, everyone immediately ran toward the Mimicry Training Ground, with Hu Liena and the other two hurriedly following behind.

Bibi Dong had already notified the academy in advance. Li Fei could mobilize all cultivation resources, and the largest area of the Mimicry Training Ground had long been reserved for this class.

Upon arriving at the Mimicry Training Ground, Li Fei stood before the group and looked at them sternly. "I was ordered by Her Holiness the Pope to instruct you for one year, but there are only seven spots in the end. That means more than half of you will be eliminated. Based on your usual performance and future potential, I will decide who gets eliminated. Do you understand?!"

"Understood!" Everyone instantly turned serious.

Li Fei walked to the Mimicry Environment control area and adjusted it to a desert with 1.5 times gravity. Then he turned around with a smile, looking at Hu Liena and the others, who were clearly uncomfortable under the increased gravity.

"Hu Liena, lead the other fourteen in running around this desert. Until I tell you to stop, no one is allowed to stop!"

"Yes!"

Gritting her teeth, Hu Liena took the lead and began running across the sand. The others immediately followed. The gravity, half again as strong as usual, coupled with the soft sand, made every step extremely difficult!

"Activate your Soul Power! While you run, use it to nourish your internal organs and ease the strain on your bodies!" Seeing everyone run foolishly while merely passively circulating their Soul Power, Li Fei helplessly raised his voice to remind them.

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan managed to simply circulate their Soul Power through their Meridians in just three minutes. The others were much slower, with the slowest taking more than ten minutes.

"Hu Liena and the other two truly deserve to be the standouts of the future Spirit Hall Golden Generation. Their comprehension is far better than the rest!"

Once he saw that they had all entered a training state, Li Fei did not remain idle either. Using the environment here to cultivate, he stood on the sand and continuously swung his fists. The muscles, bones, and Soul Power throughout his body churned without pause, tempering every part of him.

After reaching the Soul Elder rank, Li Fei's physical strength had reached twelve hundred jin. The eight-hundred-jin Tungsten Steel Rod could serve as a weight, but it no longer had much training effect. Li Fei now used it purely as a weapon.

Li Fei had also discovered that as his cultivation rose, it became increasingly difficult to improve his physical constitution. By his estimates, even upon reaching the Titled Douluo rank, his physical strength alone would at most reach ten thousand jin.

Meanwhile, as Soul Power increased, the force it could unleash grew stronger and stronger. Taking Li Fei as an example, he could use Soul Power to erupt with the force of four thousand jin. However, that was merely the power of Soul Power, not physical strength. It did not mean he could lift an object weighing four thousand jin. That also made him understand why Titled Douluo could split mountains and part seas, yet could not catch Tang San's one-hundred-and-eight-thousand-jin Sea God Trident.

After understanding this, Li Fei felt somewhat unwilling to accept it. He possessed a Body Martial Soul; if he could not bring out the advantages of his body, then what was the point of calling it a Body Martial Soul? Thus, Li Fei began searching for a way to create his own body-tempering method.

He relied on the Perfect Unity state of Adamantine Body, using the muscle exertion of the Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique to draw upon Soul Power of various attributes and temper his body and soul. Then, he used the sensory ability of his third soul skill to constantly perceive the condition within his body and make timely adjustments, gradually creating the Zhen Yue Three Forms, Su Ge Three Forms, and Liu Shui Three Forms.

These nine forms were both training methods and Li Fei's Self-Created Soul Skill killing moves. Setting aside their destructive power, their ability to temper the body far surpassed training through external means. Li Fei was currently very satisfied with them, and he continued using his sensory skill to refine the nine forms.

This was also why Li Fei had immediately agreed to instruct Hu Liena and the others upon hearing that he could select a soul bone from the treasury. After all, the Wisdom Skull provided considerable benefits to mental strength and thought, allowing Li Fei to perceive changes in his body more clearly and perfect his techniques.

"What are you looking at?! Get back to running! Did I tell you to stop?!" Sensing Hu Liena and the others halt to watch him, Li Fei said coldly.

Hu Liena and the others shuddered and hurriedly resumed running.

"Brother, I bought the things you asked for!"

Half an hour later, Hu Liena and the others had reached their physical limits. Li Fan walked in from outside and took everything out of his Storage Space, laying it densely across the ground. It was all water and food.

"Xiao Fan, come help me sort out this food and water. These little brats will need them later!"

Li Fei called Li Fan over, and the two quickly finished sorting the food and water. Li Fei even mischievously used Soul Power to create a light breeze, carrying the fragrance over to Hu Liena and the others.

"That damned bastard!"

Smelling the food, Hu Liena and the others gritted their teeth as they glared at Li Fei, wishing they could devour him with their eyes.

"Ah!"

The last two children smelled the aroma and collapsed directly onto the sand. Their bodies, already at their limits, were instantly overwhelmed by an unprecedented wave of fatigue and soreness, leaving them unable to get back up.

"I won't count this fall, but if you can't hold on next time, then get the hell back to the regular class!" Li Fei looked at the two who had fallen with an icy expression. "Xiao Fan, bring them back and give them water and food!"

Li Fan walked over, grabbed one child in each hand, and carried them back.

Seeing this, Hu Liena and the others were startled. Every one of them focused on training, continuously squeezing the Soul Power within their bodies to nourish themselves and push past their limits.

Another half hour passed, and Li Fei saw that Hu Liena and the others had completely exhausted their Soul Power.
