Not long after Xiao Wu returned to the core area, following some simple small talk, Da Ming and Er Ming learned about Xiao Wu's daily life in the human world.
To their surprise, besides Xiao Wu, there were actually two other human children whose cultivation speed was not inferior to hers. One of them even firmly suppressed Xiao Wu, maintaining a level one rank higher than her.
These two human children came from a small village near a remote border city.
Since when did human talent become this high?
If the talent of those two children was representative of the vast human population, Da Ming and Er Ming didn't dare imagine how strong humans would become in the future. Perhaps before long, humans would far surpass the strength of soul beasts.
Were humans such terrifying creatures?
The Sky Azure Bull Python was momentarily speechless.
He was different from Er Ming and Xiao Wu; possessing the Azure Dragon bloodline, his talent was extraordinary. Even joining "that circle" in the future would be easy for him. Er Ming was also decent; with hard work, he could barely squeeze in.
But the cultivation speed of modern humans had left him utterly aghast.
According to Xiao Wu, of those two human brats, one specialized in theory while the other specialized in combat. Both possessed top-tier talent, and specifically, the one who specialized in theory was also "slightly proficient" in fighting.
"So, Sister Xiao Wu, the reason you came back this time is...?"
Da Ming remained silent for a long time before finally voicing his question.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, please train me! I want to train under Er Ming's gravity and within Da Ming's Slowing Domain."
Xiao Wu knew deep down that if she wanted to become stronger, she had to follow Xiao Lin's training methods.
Training under gravity and the Slowing Domain was the closest thing to the "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" training method in Xiao Lin's plans. Xiao Wu's idea was to ideally reach Rank 20 before heading back, then condense a thousand-year purple soul ring herself.
Based on Xiao Lin and Tang San's soul ring plans—one aiming for two thousand years and the other for fifteen hundred years—she felt she should be able to condense a soul ring of over fifteen hundred years.
When the time came, she would show Xiao Lin that the Soft Bone Rabbit was not a useless Martial Soul. She would make Xiao Lin cry in front of her as he changed her data profile to reflect a top-tier Martial Soul!
"Hahaha, goose honk!"
Thinking of the happy part, Xiao Wu suddenly let out a laugh that sounded like a honking goose.
She would give Xiao Lin "chestnuts" (flicks/knocks) on the head and take her revenge step by step until they called her "Sister Xiao Wu."
"I can do that, but can you really reach Rank 20 in just two months?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python was skeptical.
Even with a One Hundred Thousand Year cultivation base acting as a "speed hack," it shouldn't be that fast.
"Hmph, I definitely can!" Xiao Wu gave a soft huff, fiercely psyching herself up.
A few days later, Xiao Wu ran away. She hid under a large tree, panting heavily, her chest heaving.
"Da Ming and Er Ming have gone crazy! I just wanted to rest for a second, and they wouldn't even let me."
A trace of lingering fear appeared on Xiao Wu's flushed little face. She had only trained for one hour today and already couldn't take it. Yet Da Ming and Er Ming claimed they were only using their minimum power and forced her to keep going.
Hmph!
Even Nuoding Academy has days off.
There has to be rest here too; she had to fight for at least two rest days a week!
Meanwhile, on the back mountain of Holy Spirit Village.
Xiao Lin and Tang San were moving in and out of that shaded little cave, completely ignoring the mutated Evil Eye Demon Tree as they continuously exploited its "bugs." By now, Xiao Lin had managed to reduce the paralysis effect of the Demon Tree to only five seconds.
This progress was nothing short of astonishing.
The reason Xiao Lin could make such progress—aside from becoming somewhat adapted to the mental paralysis control—was primarily because his Innate Tool Soul Avatar Physique was taking effect.
With his Innate Tool Soul Avatar Physique, Xiao Lin's body was a hybrid of the Horned Dragon Pole and his own flesh. This state allowed his physical stats to increase across the board, granting him a certain degree of resistance against mental attacks.
While this resistance wasn't much, it was enough for Xiao Lin to find a pattern through repeated adaptation. Sometimes, Xiao Lin would even voluntarily stay in the cave for several seconds to take the full brunt of the paralysis control.
These few short days had caused Xiao Lin's mental strength to soar; his Three-Aperture Governing Heart was on the verge of breaking through to the Four-Aperture Constant Heart.
While Xiao Lin was repeatedly attempting to use his mental strength to drive his physical body, he also discovered that the circulation of his meridians plus soul power could substitute for the human nervous system to help him move.
This discovery shocked Xiao Lin.
Although using the circulation of meridians and soul power to drive his flesh felt like operating a machine that had been running for years and was about to be scrapped, Xiao Lin successfully used this method to accelerate the widening of his meridians.
After telling Tang San about this discovery, the martial arts genius gave his approval.
Tang San put it this way:
He said that Soul Masters could already passively heal their own bodies through their meridians using soul power, which was why their recovery abilities were so strong. Therefore, making the body move a little like this was normal and not very difficult.
Furthermore, doing this continuously was essentially a method of tempering the physical body.
Xiao Lin believed Tang San's words implicitly.
It wasn't just because Tang San's soul power inherently contained vitality, allowing him to do this, but because the recovery ability of all Soul Masters exceeded that of ordinary people.
Constantly stimulating the meridians and feeding soul power through them to the body would naturally make one stronger. However, Xiao Lin's soul power didn't have vitality; instead, it was pure hardness and strength.
Xiao Lin's behavior was more like stretching a balloon slightly wider, and then the balloon being reinforced by his Vajra Imperishable soul power. In a sense, with one using vitality and the other using Vajra Imperishable soul power, both were using extremely powerful special energies.
If the two's soul power could combine perfectly, such a power would definitely be no less than the so-called "Bloodline Power" formed by the combination of vitality and physical strength.
It was just that the two currently had no way to combine their soul power, and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill had shown no progress whatsoever.
"Phew!"
"The time has decreased again."
Xiao Lin, lying on the ground, muttered to himself.
Only after the paralysis wore off did he slowly stand up.
"Brother Lin, your progress is so fast. At this rate, in another half a month, you might be able to completely ignore that paralysis state."
Tang San showed a joyful expression.
He was different from Xiao Lin; although he started practicing Heart Separation Control later, he had long reached the level of "one mind, three uses" at the Three-Aperture Governing Heart.
Moreover, because of his Purple Demon Eye, he was also close to breaking through to the Four-Aperture Constant Heart. Now, Xiao Lin was only one step away from the Four-Aperture Constant Heart without the help of the Purple Demon Eye to drive his mental strength.
One could imagine how happy and excited Tang San was.
If it were him, perhaps even his Purple Demon Eye would see a breakthrough. Tang San was already looking forward to the day he would take over the training after Xiao Lin finished his.
"Hehe, I wouldn't be so sure."
Unlike Tang San's confident look, Xiao Lin didn't think he could completely ignore the mental paralysis within half a month.
It was like a hundred-meter dash.
Once you can run it in ten seconds, you find that improving even by 0.01 seconds is incredibly difficult. Current Xiao Lin no longer hoped to completely ignore the mental paralysis; as long as the control time didn't exceed half a second, he could let Tang San start practicing as well.
Then, they could progress together.
"Sigh, we have such a great training ground here... I wonder what Xiao Wu is doing?" Tang San suddenly thought of Xiao Wu and sighed.
"Xiao Wu? She must be living very comfortably right now."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
Thinking of Xiao Wu's relationship with Da Ming and Er Ming, she was effectively the "Little Tyrant" of the Star Dou Forest. She was definitely having a much more comfortable time than they were at school.
