Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 189 Theory of Soul Evolution
"Alright, I lost, I lost. Sigh, my 100-game winning streak is over."

The Holy Maiden spoke personally, and with a gloomy face, the Demon-Slaying Douluo had no choice but to back down, leaning against a peach tree with a bitter expression.

However, after regaining his senses, he still felt that Qiu Ruoshui's student's return dragon spear technique was indeed amazing. If this move were used to kill a general on the battlefield, it would be no less impressive than Guang Ling's arrow piercing through the air and taking the enemy's head from a thousand meters away.

During his stay at Peach Blossom Academy these past two days, Demon-Slaying Douluo has also witnessed some of the students' training, which is indeed extraordinary and different from normal Soul Master cultivation.

This shows that the young dean of Taoyuan Academy is indeed a man of substance, not only possessing an extraordinary appearance but also being exceptionally talented.

No wonder the Holy Maiden and the Second High Priest both praised him highly, and the Holy Maiden insisted on coming to Peach Blossom Academy to study. Even Pope Bibi Dong came over.

I don't know why the Holy Maiden looks so pale today. Did I do something to upset her?

I've finally arrived at the college I've been longing to study at. Shouldn't I be happy?

……

"Accepted."

"It seems that learning techniques and achieving harmony between man and soul is better than simply increasing soul power."

"In fact, simply increasing soul power does not mean that soul power is actually higher than that of focusing on the unity of man and soul."

At this moment, Su Ran finally spoke, appearing elegant and refined, a teacher with a stable demeanor:

“Your senior brother, Wang Sheng, is the best example.”

Wang Sheng was called on by the teacher and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

What senior brother? I always consider myself a disciple in name only.

"When Wang Sheng first came to me at the age of twelve, he only had tenth-level soul power. I believe that this talent was extremely unremarkable in the academy, right?"

The teacher's words caused a sensation throughout the room, with everyone turning to look at Wang Sheng in disbelief. Even Bibi Dong seemed somewhat incredulous.

Not only is he unremarkable, he can be described as a complete waste of a Soul Master!

"Twelve years old? Level 10 soul power? Twelve years old and hasn't even obtained his first soul ring? Is what the teacher said true or false?"

"Impossible, right? Senior Brother Wang Sheng is so strong, he can be considered the best disciple in the academy in terms of fist techniques, how could his talent be so poor?"

"This talent doesn't even meet the admission requirements for our Tianshui Academy, does it?"

"However, Senior Brother Wang Sheng's performance in the Soul Master Competition was in no way inferior to that of the other senior sisters!"

The students present were all talking amongst themselves, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Even core disciples like Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran, although they knew that Wang Sheng's talent was not high among them, did not expect it to be this bad.
Xiao Wu rubbed the head of the spirit rabbit in her arms, somewhat surprised:
"How did Master Wang manage to turn things around in the following six years? I remember that even One-Eyed Tiger couldn't beat him back then, which doesn't seem like someone with that kind of talent at all."

At that time, they didn't have any celestial flowers and herbs to help them transform their bodies!

"Because of perseverance, one can achieve unity of man and soul, and cultivate soul power at a faster pace. Each punch draws upon the martial soul, driving the circulation of soul power, which is itself a slow transformation, much more profound than simple breathing or meditation. Therefore, if one truly cultivates the martial soul, the speed at which soul power increases will only be faster."

"However, no one insisted on the third option, which made the teacher somewhat disappointed. The evolution of the martial soul and the improvement of its attributes are the ultimate goal of a soul master's progress, and naturally the most important one. It is also the path that the teacher has paved for you."

"No matter how hard one studies, a low-quality tiger or wolf spirit can never surpass the upper limit of a spirit master with a high-quality spirit."

"However, this does not mean that if the quality of a martial soul is low, there is absolutely no possibility of becoming a true powerhouse."

"This is the theory I summarized through cultivation techniques, body tempering, and medicinal herbs. I call it: the theory of martial spirit evolution."

"The theory of martial soul evolution?"

When those five words were uttered, the expressions of Demon-Slaying Douluo, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and the others changed.

This is a previously unheard-of theory. "Biodiversity evolves gradually from lower to higher levels, from simple to complex. Soul beasts evolve slowly from lower to higher ages, and from low quality to high quality."

"The same applies to martial spirits; they can evolve."

"A benign mutation of a mutated martial soul is a sudden evolution of the martial soul, which is very rare."

"The evolution of innate martial spirits is very slow, and one may spend a lifetime trying to break through the shackles."

"However, with the guidance of cultivation techniques, herbs, and the baptism of cultivation, low-level martial souls can also evolve into high-level martial souls, just like Wang Sheng's Storm Fiend Tiger."

"Where is the limit of a Soul Master's Martial Soul evolution? Perhaps there is no upper limit, but in the current Soul Master system, I have set the upper limit of a Soul Master's Martial Soul evolution at the ultimate standard, which is the closest to the final form that a certain attribute and a certain Martial Soul can present in a Soul Master. It has an absolute suppressive effect on the same attribute and the same type of Martial Soul. We can call it the ultimate attribute and the ultimate Martial Soul."

"Therefore, my training of you is also geared towards this direction, and you should be aware of this."

"In this assessment of registered disciples, the three disciples who have the highest scores in the comprehensive evaluation of Taoyuan Academy's motto and martial spirit knowledge, and whose martial spirit is closest to its ultimate state, will advance as core disciples."

"The promotion exam for registered disciples will be proctored by Teacher Dong, and the final decision will be made by me personally."

"..."

"Alright, that concludes today's lesson. Students, feel free to reflect on this on your own after class."

The peach trees swayed, and as Su Ran's words finally fell, the listeners remained lost in thought for a long time.

This was the first time they had ever heard of a martial soul being able to have its evolution path set.

No wonder Senior Sister Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda can transform into the Nine Treasures Golden Body Glazed Pagoda, Senior Sister Zhuqing's Netherworld Cat can transform into the Nine Ghost Cat, and Senior Brother Wang Sheng's tiger can transform into the Storm Fiend Tiger.

It turns out this wasn't unintentional; it was a deliberate act by the teacher to cultivate this talent!

Teacher, how many more surprises can we give them?

Only one disciple leaned back and fell asleep immediately.

"Sister Xue'er, why are you lying down again?"

"The theory the teacher is talking about is very interesting. I've never heard of this theory in the Spirit Hall. Is it because you don't like theory classes, Xue'er, that you're sleepy?"

Hu Liena lay down next to Qian Renxue, looking at Qian Renxue's utterly hopeless expression, and asked curiously.

I'm so tired!

Do I look sleepy to you?
I feel sorry for myself!

Qian Renxue looked utterly miserable.

It's Bibi Dong again. Isn't she my nemesis?

If I let her proctor the exam, would I still have a chance to advance?

It should be noted that Qian Renxue is currently a disciple under a nominal title.

I, Qian Renxue, came to Taoyuan Academy intending to learn sweetly from the teachers, not to come and see that woman being sweet.

This is worse than killing me!
"Hu Liena, Qian Renxue, you two come with me for a moment."

Just then, the teacher's voice called out.

Qian Renxue rose proudly from among the peach blossoms in an instant: "I've arrived, teacher!"
