Wu Changkong coughed lightly, composed himself, and explained to Tang Wulin with a still cold expression.
"During this holiday, when Wu Lin went to Heaven Dou City with me for training, his bloodline unexpectedly awakened, causing him to break through four levels and become a second-ring Great Soul Master."
Regarding the anomaly that appeared on Tang Wulin, Wu Changkong, after speaking with his teacher on the phone, attributed it to the strange phenomenon caused by the awakening of bloodline.
What Wu Changkong didn't know was that if Tang San heard his explanation, Tang San would definitely curse him out.
And then there's the bloodline awakening! If he hadn't paid an unimaginable price, Tang Wulin would already be a mindless little dragon.
After expending a great deal of divine power to reinforce the seal of the Golden Dragon King on Tang Wulin in Heaven Dou City, Tang San chose to go into a deep sleep in order to conserve his divine power to deal with any unexpected events, and stopped secretly watching Tang Wulin's every move like a pervert.
Wu Changkong's voice remained neither warm nor cold, but anyone could hear the joy in his tone.
"Ah~"
Xie Xie's eyes widened. He never expected that the reason Tang Wulin had jumped four levels in a month was because of this.
"That's not fair!"
Xie Xie muttered something under his breath and then sat back down in his seat.
However, as Tang Wulin's best friend, Xie Xie would not be jealous of Tang Wulin's rapid progress; he would only be happy for Tang Wulin's achievements.
Chapter 57 Gu Yue Sensing Something Was Wrong
Xu Xiaoyan, who had been keeping her head down, looked up at Tang Wulin in surprise after hearing Wu Changkong's explanation.
Jumping four levels in a month is an astonishing speed of cultivation.
"But she's not my type!"
Xu Xiaoyan silently commented in her heart that she liked cool and handsome guys, not cute and warm guys like Tang Wulin.
After Tang Wulin finished his introduction, it was Gu Yue's turn.
However, at this moment, Gu Yue frowned slightly, her mind filled with what Wu Changkong had just said about Tang Wulin's bloodline awakening, and her attention was not on this at all.
As the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yue knew better than anyone just how terrifying the bloodline flowing through Tang Wulin's veins was.
If things are really as Wu Changkong said, and Tang Wulin broke through four levels to reach the second-ring Great Soul Master because of his bloodline awakening, then she would have to re-examine Tang Wulin's background.
Gu Yue had always thought that Tang Wulin had the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King flowing in his veins because the divine core that escaped after the Golden Dragon King was killed by the God Realm unexpectedly chose Tang Wulin as his successor.
But now it seems things aren't as simple as she thought.
As the twin born alongside the Golden Dragon King, no one understands him better than her.
As an entity that inherited the physical power of the Dragon God, the most prominent characteristic of the Golden Dragon King's power is its ferocity.
Because the Golden Dragon King's power is too violent, even though Tang Wulin is the Golden Dragon King's personally chosen successor, he cannot use the Golden Dragon King's power to improve his cultivation before his physical body reaches a certain level of strength.
It is almost impossible to break through four levels by absorbing the power of the Golden Dragon King.
Unless someone helps Tang Wulin neutralize the violent power within the Golden Dragon King's strength.
However, neutralizing the violent power within the Golden Dragon King's strength is no simple matter; it would require at least a demigod-level expert to intervene.
Neither Tang Wulin nor Wu Changkong seem like they could be associated with a demigod.
"Gu Yue, Gu Yue!!!"
Just as Gu Yue was frowning and seriously considering the abnormality of Tang Wulin, Tang Wulin's concerned voice rang out.
Unfortunately, Gu Yue was too engrossed in her thoughts and ignored Tang Wulin's call.
In the end, it was only when Wu Changkong spoke up that Gu Yue was pulled out of her thoughts.
"Gu Yue, eleven years old, Elementalist of Martial Soul, Level 21 Great Soul Master!"
Gu Yue looked up at Xu Xiaoyan and then introduced herself with a cold expression.
Although Gu Yue's attitude was very cold, Xu Xiaoyan's face showed no displeasure and even a little bit of smugness.
Of all the things that happened during that time, Gu Yue left the deepest impression on her.
Gu Yue's cool demeanor as she effortlessly defeated her older brother, Xu Xiaoyu, with her second-ring cultivation level, remains vivid in her memory, and she has become a fan of Gu Yue.
However, when Xu Xiaoyan's eyes unexpectedly caught sight of Su Mo, who was supporting his head with the back of his hand, her eyes lit up.
She made up her mind; she would stay in Class Zero no matter what.
There was no way around it; Su Mo's appearance was exactly what she wanted.
Just as Su Mo was about to speak, he saw Xu Xiaoyan staring straight at him.
"Another guy who's lusting after her own beauty!"
Su Mo sighed inwardly.
Su Mo was already used to such things.
Uchiha's aloof good looks were still too much of a draw for Xu Xiaoyan, a young girl just beginning to experience love and inexperienced.
"Su Mo, ten years old, martial soul Sharingan, level thirty-two Soul Master!"
Su Mo introduced himself in a calm tone.
"!!!"
Upon hearing that Su Mo had actually broken through to the Soul Venerable level, the entire Class Zero classroom instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Mo.
After scrutinizing Su Mo from head to toe with the same look one would give a monster, Xie Xie finally uttered, "Monster!"
Tang Wulin, who was originally feeling smug about breaking through to level 20, suddenly felt that his breakthrough wasn't so great anymore.
He suffered excruciating pain during his bloodline awakening and only managed to level up four times, while Su Mo easily leveled up two times simply by absorbing a soul ring.
If he could, he would love to embark on the path of cultivation just like Su Mo, so that his soul power could increase rapidly.
Gu Yue looked at Su Mo with a hostile expression. Su Mo had obtained another limit-thousand-year soul ring, which meant that another soul beast that was about to cultivate to ten thousand years had been hunted down.
The current situation of soul beasts is no longer one where "ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are worse than dogs, and one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts are everywhere".
Even now, with the Spirit Pagoda's hunting prowess, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are rare finds in the Star Dou Forest.
"He truly is my idol!!!"
Upon hearing Su Mo's self-introduction, the infatuated Xu Xiaoyan immediately puffed out her chest proudly, displaying an air of shared glory. Anyone who didn't know better would think she had reached level thirty-two in cultivation.
"Your third spirit ring is the Limit Thousand Year?"
After a moment of silence, Wu Changkong slowly asked.
"Ok!"
Su Mo nodded. In the past month, apart from spending time with Leng Yulai, he had been diligently cultivating.
Finally, a week before the start of the semester, he broke through to level 30. Then, under Leng Yulai's guidance, he went to the Star Luo Continent to hunt down a nine-thousand-year-old earth beast, adding an earth-attribute soul ring to his soul.
The level 32 cultivation was also an improvement brought about by absorbing the Earth Beast's soul ring.
Seeing Su Mo nod in agreement, Wu Changkong felt a little jealous.
Although he followed the old-era system like Su Mo, he didn't have Su Mo's powerful physique and spirit-type martial soul back then, which resulted in his first three soul rings being the best combination of yellow, yellow, and purple.
However, Wu Changkong felt somewhat relieved when he thought about how Su Mo had to cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo before the age of eighteen.
Then Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wulin, who was deeply affected by the blow.
To prevent Tang Wulin and his companions from losing all their confidence due to Su Mo's words, Wu Changkong decided to explain the difference between the old-era system and the Soul Spirit system to them, offering them some small comfort.
This was something he should have said last time, but he didn't because he wanted to use Su Mo to motivate Tang Wulin and the others to cultivate harder.
If we don't say it now, it could easily affect Tang Wulin and the others' mentality.
After scanning Tang Wulin and the others, Wu Changkong said coldly, "Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan, do any of you four know the advantages and disadvantages of the Soul Spirit System and the old-era cultivation system in terms of cultivation speed?"
When Wu Changkong asked them a question, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Given their family circumstances, they would never have access to such things.
Needless to say, Xu Xiaoyan would not even come to the Soul Master Academy if it weren't for the fact that her martial soul was constantly mutating.
In the end, Gu Yue stepped forward to answer Wu Changkong's question.
"Because the cultivation system of the old era required absorbing a soul ring with each breakthrough, one could use the excess soul power in the soul ring to improve one's cultivation."
"However, as one's cultivation level continues to improve, the effect of absorbing a soul ring on cultivation level will become less and less effective."
"Therefore, the old system allows for faster cultivation in the early stages, but becomes less effective in the later stages."
"In the Soul Spirit system, a Soul Spirit can provide multiple Soul Rings."
"But in reality, the soul rings provided and the energy needed to nourish the soul spirit all come from the soul master himself, so the cultivation speed of the soul spirit system is very slow in the early stages."
"However, once the soul spirits can nourish themselves, the speed of the soul spirit system will far surpass that of the old system."
I don't know what to say...

Chapter 58 Wu Changkong's Test
After hearing Gu Yue's answer, Wu Changkong nodded approvingly, "Gu Yue is right!"
"The cultivation systems of the old era and the cultivation systems of the soul differ in their cultivation speed: one focuses on early-stage power generation, while the other focuses on later-stage power generation."
At this point, Wu Changkong paused and then said mysteriously, "Moreover, the Soul Spirit System has an advantage that the old system cannot match..."
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who had been almost losing confidence due to Su Mo's cultivation speed, were immediately intrigued upon hearing this and looked eagerly at Wu Changkong.
Even Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flashed with curiosity after hearing this. She hadn't expected that the Soul Spirit System had benefits she didn't know about.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Wu Changkong stopped dawdling and confidently said, "The biggest advantage of the Soul Spirit System is that it can lower the threshold for breakthroughs."
Fearing that Tang Wulin and the others might not believe him, Wu Changkong added, "Since the birth of the Soul Spirit system, the number and cultivation level of Soul Masters on the entire continent have far surpassed those of the old era."
"Many people who were originally born with low soul power and could not walk the path of soul master have successfully embarked on this path with the blessing of soul spirits."
Wu Changkong's words were not unfounded; they were based on a wealth of facts.
