As for Wang Li, even Qin Ming was unsure how he should instruct him. As a Blue Silver Grass soul master, Wang Li had not fallen into a clear disadvantage when fighting a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul master. It was only when Yu Tianheng, who had reached the Soul Elder level, used his third soul skill that Wang Li,still only a Grand Soul Master,was struck by the numerous lightning attacks that were both fast and overwhelming in number.
If Qin Ming were to criticize him even after that, he would feel embarrassed as a teacher. However, this also gave him a deeper understanding of Wang Li.
Wang Li was extremely proficient in the use of his martial soul and soul skills. Every strand of Blue Silver Grass moved exactly as he intended, as flexible as his own arms.
This was only because he was facing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul. If it had been a beast-type martial soul without attributes, it was very possible that even after exhausting all their soul power, the opponent would still not be able to break free from the interference of the Blue Silver Grass.
In the past, Wang Li must have already undergone targeted training for his martial soul and soul skills, which was why he could perform so outstandingly.
Moreover, his physical condition was exceptionally strong. His speed and strength were actually comparable to those of beast-type soul masters of the same level.
No wonder running twenty-five laps still was not the limit of his body. Because of this, Qin Ming decided to observe him for a period of time, letting him fight against various types of soul masters,power attack types, agility attack types, beast-type martial souls, tool-type martial souls,to improve his real combat experience.
By the time the sun was high in the sky, the staff from the academy cafeteria had already delivered food to the campus area where they were located.
The main dishes consisted of various stewed meats and rich soups. The radishes and potatoes inside were thoroughly softened and infused with flavor, their aroma filling the air and making people's mouths water.
The staple food was rice, along with vegetables and fruit. The nutritional balance was truly beyond reproach.
Wang Li even suspected that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy raised a batch of low-level soul beasts under a hundred years old. Otherwise, where would so much high-quality meat come from? Ordinary animals were unlikely to have such texture and flavor.
They ate on a terrace beside the training field. The terrace was almost suspended in midair, with both open and semi-open sections. The scenery here was excellent,sitting there, one could enjoy beautiful views of both the mountains above and below.
After finishing the meal, Dugu Yan leaned back in her chair, half-closing her eyes and basking in the sunlight. Because her martial soul had a poison attribute, she especially enjoyed the warm feeling of sunlight on her body. She softly murmured:
"Xiao Li, in the afternoon we can cultivate on our own. In a moment, I'll take you to find a mimic cultivation environment that suits you best. From now on, our days will mostly be like this."
"Training in the morning, cultivation in the afternoon. We get four days off each month. There's still about half a month until the next break."
"When we're on break, big sister will take you to play in Heaven Dou City. There are far more delicious foods and fun places there. If Grandpa has time, he'll come pick me up, and I'll have Grandpa take us out to have fun."
Hearing this, Wang Li felt rather emotional. He had not expected things to go so smoothly. Through Dugu Yan, he could come into contact with Dugu Bo and gain a chance to obtain immortal herbs. If a Titled Douluo were willing to spar with him, he wondered how much experience he could gain.
Naturally, he did not refuse:
"Sounds great. I've always been in Fasnuo Province before. I've never been to Emperor Ao Province, nor have I been to Heaven Dou City."
As Dugu Bo's granddaughter, there were very few places in Heaven Dou City that Dugu Yan could not go. Hearing Wang Li say this, she enthusiastically began introducing Heaven Dou City to him.
Half an hour later, Dugu Yan accompanied Wang Li as they searched through hundreds of mimic cultivation environments scattered across the mountains and foothills, eventually finding the one most suitable for Wang Li's Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
After that, Dugu Yan left on her own to cultivate as well. Wang Li's talent,having level twenty-five soul power at the age of nine,also put considerable pressure on her.
After Dugu Yan left, Wang Li did not immediately begin cultivating. Instead, he reflected on his battle with Yu Tianheng. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul was indeed extremely powerful.
Its violent lightning attribute could easily destroy his Blue Silver Grass. The reason Wang Li had not clearly fallen behind was because of his self-created movement soul skills, Instant Step and Explosive Legs.
Yu Tianheng's high-powered soul skills consumed a great deal of soul power, and because they could not hit Wang Li solidly, Wang Li was given an opportunity to counterattack.
Otherwise, even with Wang Li's physical constitution, he might not have been able to withstand repeated lightning assaults entering his body. Of course, as long as he had enough soul power to continuously maintain the Revival soul skill, even lightning entering his body could be rapidly healed, allowing him to maintain combat strength.
Thinking of this, Wang Li's expression turned strange:
"So in the end, it still comes down to my soul power being too low…"
In short, his next goal was to increase his soul power as quickly as possible within a reasonable range. With sufficient soul power, his second soul skill could be fully unleashed. After cultivating to level thirty, he would be able to hunt plant-type soul beasts with terrifying vitality through the academy, absorb their soul rings and life essence, and allow his Blue Silver Grass martial soul to undergo its next evolution very soon.
With his goal set, Wang Li sat down and began cultivating. The effect of the mimic cultivation environment was indeed very significant.
As Wang Li calmed his mind, he could feel the natural wind carrying the fresh scent unique to plants, gently brushing against his face. Every pore on his body opened, absorbing the dense ambient soul power from the surroundings.
At this moment, both his martial soul and his soul power were extremely active. Wang Li repeatedly circulated his meditation technique, completely immersed in it, as if intoxicated.
When he awoke, the sky outside was already filled with stars. A smile gradually appeared on his face:
"Level twenty-six soul power, achieved naturally. I was already close to breaking through to level twenty-six. The battle in the morning and cultivation in the afternoon became a perfect opportunity."
He then stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and walked out of the mimic cultivation environment:
"After cultivating, I'm hungry again. Let's see what there is to eat when I get back, then have a good night's sleep."
"I still have to get up early to run tomorrow. Before leaving the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I'll probably be training under Qin Ming the whole time. When will this running ever end? Maybe I should apply to smash rocks or jump into waterfalls,that would actually achieve a training effect."
…
Four days passed like this. On the morning of the fifth day, Wang Li came to the training field as usual.
The other students arrived one after another. Because Wang Li had displayed his formidable strength during his recent sparring matches with them, they were all quite friendly toward him.
When Dugu Yan arrived, Wang Li noticed that her mood was low, as if something bad had happened.
"Yan Yan-jie, what's wrong with you?"
Dugu Yan raised her head, forcing a smile, and said something with an unclear meaning:
"Xiao Li, it's going to rain."
Wang Li was momentarily stunned, then carefully sensed his surroundings. The air was extremely humid, giving off a cool and refreshing feeling,or rather… an eerie, bone-chilling chill.
