"Don't rush to flatter me. You need to learn these theories properly. I won't test you; it's entirely up to your own discipline. If you can't even learn these simple things, learning Self-Created Soul Skills will be even more impossible!"
Li Changsheng clasped his hands behind his back and looked at everyone sternly.
This knowledge wasn't like Gangzi's stuff, with some of it right and some of it wrong. What Li Changsheng had was the correct answer!
Once they learned it properly, they would know exactly which Soul Beast to absorb their next Soul Ring from, and they would also be able to tell a Soul Beast's age at a glance.
"Right, the specific cultivation plan will begin in two days!"
"In two days? Changsheng, isn't that different from the plan?"
Before the students could speak, Flender, standing to the side, voiced his confusion.
In response, Li Changsheng pointed at Oscar. "I sensed it just now. Little Ao's Soul Power Level is already twenty-nine, and he's almost at thirty! So tomorrow, we need to make a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"Really?!"
Flender immediately turned his gaze to Oscar, stepped forward, and placed his large hand on his shoulder.
As his Soul Power entered Oscar's body and circulated briefly, Flender reached his conclusion. He really was almost at level thirty!
He was only fourteen, after all. Food-type Soul Masters had a much harder time cultivating than ordinary Soul Masters, so naturally, they advanced more slowly.
Looking at Oscar, then at Li Changsheng, Flender suddenly understood. Had Changsheng already known about Oscar's talent?
"Changsheng, your perception really is sharp. I imagine even Oscar himself would need to cultivate for a bit before he could sense it?"
"You could call it a guess, too. Still, it's naturally best if he can break through."
Li Changsheng smiled faintly. He certainly couldn't say he had read the original story. Some things could indeed be explained through theory, but as for opportunities and Soul Power Levels, what was wrong with him knowing those things as a transmigrator?
"All right, Little San, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, you three stay for a moment. Everyone else can head back!"
"Third Brother, Xiao Wu's heading back first, okay?"
"Mm, stay safe."
Tang San waved at Xiao Wu, a happy smile spreading across his face. Xiao Wu was checking in with her. How nice!
Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun carried the basket Li Changsheng had given him and headed toward the dormitory with Dai Mubai.
"Zhu-"
,"
Dai Mubai had just been about to greet her when Zhu Zhuqing's figure flashed, and she headed toward the girls' dormitory alone.
"Sigh-"
Dai Mubai was about to clench his fists, but after thinking it over, he relaxed them instead. He would take things slowly!
"Boss Dai, what's wrong? Don't tell me you've fallen for Little Qing?"
Little Qing was how the seven of them addressed Zhu Zhuqing after getting acquainted.
"Damn fatty, just eat your food!"
Dai Mubai patted Ma Hongjun on the head. He didn't use much force, but the latter obediently tucked into his food anyway.
Back with Li Changsheng.
Only after some of the others had dispersed did he begin his plan.
Compared with Dai Mubai and the others, Tang San, the team's core, and Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who filled support positions, required the most attention when it came to cultivation.
Besides, he hadn't kept Tang San behind today to discuss cultivation.
Hum.
With a flash of white light, Li Changsheng took two medium-sized earthenware jars out of his storage space.
"Oscar, Ning Rongrong, starting tomorrow, I need you to carry these two jars on your backs at all times. You mustn't put them down!"
"What?!"
Ning Rongrong could hardly believe it. He wanted a delicate young girl like her to go out carrying such an ugly earthenware jar?
Oscar, standing beside her, had no objections, though he was a little puzzled. "Teacher Changsheng, what are these things for?"
"Look carefully at their mouths. You can seal them with Soul Power, and you won't need to pour much into them."
"From now on, you'll need to use your Soul Power to keep the jars sealed while providing boosts to everyone!"
"And-"
Li Changsheng's gaze sharpened. "What's inside these two earthenware jars is-pickled vegetables!"
"Ugh-you, you're making me carry something like that?!"
Ning Rongrong finally couldn't hold back. Surely everyone knew what pickled vegetables were, and precisely because she knew, she reacted so strongly.
She couldn't bear even a whiff of that smell!
Even Flender was somewhat puzzled, but he trusted Li Changsheng's plan.
Only-
"Changsheng, where did you get those pickled vegetables?"
"I filled the jars from your basement."
"What?! How did you know there were pickled vegetables there? Oscar, as the dean, I order you to pay for anything you break!"
Flender first looked at his pickled vegetables with heartache written all over his face, then changed his expression, sternly telling Oscar to be careful.
He wasn't worried about Ning Rongrong. She was a young lady from a wealthy family, after all; surely she knew the rule about paying for anything she broke.
"Uh-"
Tang San felt rather embarrassed as he watched the scene before him. The imposing image Flender had presented to him shattered at that moment.
After giving the two support Soul Masters their instructions, Li Changsheng called to Flender, then pulled Tang San aside.
Looking at Tang San, Li Changsheng wore a serious expression. "Little San, as your teacher, I know you have quite an understanding of mechanical Hidden Weapons. Now I have an extremely important task for you!"
"Please tell me!"
Seeing how serious Li Changsheng was, Tang San didn't dare relax either.
Li Changsheng took a revolver blueprint from inside his clothes. The strangely shaped object drawn on it instantly caught Tang San's attention.
What was this?
A little hammer with a wheel?
As someone from ancient times, Tang San naturally didn't recognize a handgun. If asked what resembled it most, he would have answered without hesitation: the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
"This thing is called a handgun. Just pull the trigger, and it can fire a bullet too fast for the naked eye to track! It can shoot someone dead from dozens of meters away!"
"What?! Too fast for the naked eye to track? Doesn't that mean it's incredibly fast?"
Tang San's pupils contracted. He understood all too well what that speed meant. Even the Godly Zhuge Crossbow couldn't reach such speeds, could it?
Li Changsheng nodded slowly. Seeing this, Tang San swallowed. Teacher Changsheng was simply handing him something comparable to a sect secret?
What tremendous trust!
"You don't have to make this immediately. We still have our cultivation plan in the near future, so just find time to work on it."
"I understand, Teacher Changsheng!"
Carefully accepting the blueprint, Tang San kept his eyes fixed on it, never letting his attention wander.
Seeing Tang San act as though he had obtained a priceless treasure, even Li Changsheng felt a little embarrassed. If he brought out a Barrett later, wouldn't Tang San get so excited that he ascended to heaven on the spot?
Still, on second thought, that probably wasn't very likely.
A Barrett's destructive power and range were too terrifying. It definitely wouldn't be some minor reward.
He would just take things one step at a time. A meal had to be eaten one mouthful at a time.
