They cultivated continuously for three hours until noon, when both their stomachs began to growl, only then did they stop.
The fatigue on Qian Renxue's pretty face had completely vanished, replaced by a spirited and energetic look.
"How do you feel?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Very comfortable," Qian Renxue's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"Uh… I was asking about the feeling of cultivation?"
Immediately, a barrage of pink fists pounded on that solid chest.
Only after she got tired of hitting did Qian Renxue say, "Cultivating this way is much faster than when I meditate alone."
Immediately after, she tightly grabbed Jiang Chen and said, "Before the Soul Master Competition, you're not allowed to leave. Stay in the palace and cultivate with me."
Jiang Chen pinched her delicate, upright nose and said, "Alright, I can accompany you to cultivate every day if you want."
"However, this method requires both people to circulate their energy at the same time for the best effect. You should carefully ponder what I taught you earlier."
Qian Renxue nodded. "Such a magical method, I will study it diligently."
"Xue'er, do the words you said to me yesterday still count?" Jiang Chen suddenly asked.
"Mmm, which words?"
Jiang Chen revealed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a cheeky smile, "You said yesterday that if I want one Hu Liena, I can have as many as I want."
Qian Renxue's delicate eyebrows instantly shot up, her pretty face turning fierce. "Only one is allowed! How many more do you want? Pfft!"
Jiang Chen's smiling face turned somewhat awkward. He quickly said, "I was just joking. With peerless beauties like you and Shijie, how could I possibly look at anyone else?"
Qian Renxue snorted coldly, only then showing a satisfied expression.
Jiang Chen got up, went out, and brought in the lunch that the maid had retrieved.
"How is Tang San's situation now?" Jiang Chen asked.
Qian Renxue said, "Ever since learning his identity, I've been paying attention to him. After Shrek Academy left the Royal Academy, they joined a college called Lanba Academy. In the end, the entire Lanba Academy was renamed Shrek Academy."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly. This was exactly as he had expected. After leaving the Royal Academy, Shrek Academy had indeed gone to Lanba Academy.
"What about their cultivation levels?"
"Tang San's current cultivation is at the thirty-fifth level Soul Venerable. Xiao Chen, is this Tang San really worth your attention? He's so far behind you."
Jiang Chen shook his head. "You don't understand. He is an interesting opponent."
He was somewhat surprised. In just a little over a year, Tang San's cultivation had actually reached the thirty-fifth level.
It seemed that Shrek's special training had played a significant role.
"Are they planning to participate in the Soul Master Academy Competition?"
Qian Renxue nodded. "They are participating. Shrek Academy has already registered, but its overall strength is indeed quite low. The highest cultivation is Dai Mubai, who is only at the thirty-ninth level."
Jiang Chen smiled. "Don't overlook their ages. Tang San is only thirteen years old right now, and Dai Mubai is only sixteen."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes. "Why don't you talk about yourself? You're the same age as that Tang San, yet you're already at the fifty-first level."
Jiang Chen chuckled. "Let's not talk about that. Eat, eat."
…
After lunch, Qian Renxue stared straight at Jiang Chen with her large eyes, full of anticipation. "Shall we continue cultivating?"
Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Chen's forehead. Was she this enthusiastic? They had just finished eating and she already wanted to cultivate again.
It looked like his future days would not be easy.
"You go handle your other matters first. I also have some things I need to take care of. Dugu Bo gave me some items to pass on to his granddaughter." Jiang Chen used this as an excuse to slip away.
No matter how strong a bull was, it couldn't plow without rest for long periods. The same applied to people.
Only by balancing work and rest could efficiency be maximized.
At the same time, he decided that he must thoroughly study the Yin-Yang Manual, because through this morning's cultivation, he discovered that this manual could actually enhance his own abilities.
Qian Renxue's pretty face showed some resentment, but she could only let Jiang Chen leave.
…
In Xiao Ying's courtyard, Jiang Chen called over Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng.
After checking the cultivation levels of his two disciples, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
In one year, Yu Tianheng had advanced from the fortieth level to the forty-fifth level.
Dugu Yan had also caught up, reaching the forty-fourth level, only one level behind Yu Tianheng.
Jiang Chen thought about whether he should also teach the two of them the dual cultivation method.
After thinking it over, he temporarily set the idea aside.
He would wait until he had fully mastered it before teaching them.
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan already had cultivation methods; their progress speed was not slow. In another half a year, they should be able to advance a few more levels.
The champion would be the Spirit Hall Academy team. With Yu Tianheng and the others' strength, Heaven Dou Royal Academy should be able to secure a top-three position.
Jiang Chen took out the items Dugu Bo had entrusted to him. Inside were pills and some toys that girls liked.
"Yanyan, this is what your grandfather asked me to bring you. He specially bought them for you in Spirit City."
Dugu Yan happily accepted them, tears sparkling in her eyes. It had been a long time since she had seen her grandfather, and she missed him.
"Thank you, Teacher."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly. "When the Soul Master Competition finals arrive, you will be able to see your grandfather."
"Both of you must cultivate well and strive for a good ranking in the Soul Master Competition. Can you do it?"
Yu Tianheng nodded excitedly. "Teacher, Yanyan and I have both felt the power of zombies. I feel that even the championship is something we have a chance to fight for."
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Your courage is commendable, but don't think too much about the championship. Getting into the top three is enough."
Dugu Yan suddenly remembered Jiang Chen's identity and asked, "Teacher, will you also be participating?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. "In the Spirit Hall Academy team, I also have two disciples. They are no weaker than you, and there's also my Shijie. If anyone threatens Spirit Hall's championship position, I will definitely take action."
Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance and showed bitter smiles.
They had all personally witnessed Jiang Chen's monstrous strength. Even without using his martial soul, he could beat them until they cried out.
"Teacher, I want you to teach me some practical combat experience," Yu Tianheng said with longing.
From the previous fights with Jiang Chen, he had discovered Jiang Chen's terrifying combat ability. Moreover, Dugu Yan's improvements after being trained by Jiang Chen multiple times were obvious to all.
Jiang Chen agreed.
With his master-level combat experience, he could easily spot the weaknesses of Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan. Targeted teaching would definitely bring noticeable improvement.
Jiang Chen, together with his two disciples and Xiao Ying, cultivated in the courtyard for several hours until evening.
Before leaving, Yu Tianheng said hopefully, "Teacher, could you spare some time to guide our whole team? With your guidance, our team's strength will definitely improve dramatically."
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I am only familiar with close-range combat for various martial souls. When it comes to the use of soul skills, I'm not that proficient."
Yu Tianheng said, "That's exactly the combat awareness we need. You have rich experience and will definitely be able to help us."
"Alright then. Bring them over tomorrow morning. But we'll need to find a suitable place. It's not convenient here."
Dugu Yan said, "Teacher, let's go to the mansion my grandfather bought. The space there is large, and it's not far from here."
"Good. Wait for me there tomorrow morning." Jiang Chen agreed.
"By the way, Teacher, do you want me to invite Ye Lingling out for dinner tonight? After you left last time, we told her about your strength, and she's quite interested in you," Dugu Yan said with a charming smile.
Jiang Chen glanced at Xiao Ying not far away and noticed the girl's eyes gradually widening. He quickly said, "No need. I already have a family now."
"Teacher, a real man having three wives and four concubines is quite normal, right?" Yu Tianheng said with a smile.
But the moment he finished speaking, his ear was twisted in pain. Dugu Yan's fierce voice rang out, "Is that so?"
"Just kidding, just kidding." Yu Tianheng immediately surrendered.
Jiang Chen looked at Yu Tianheng sympathetically. What a henpecked husband—truly pitiful.
