Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

I looked at the few white flowers steeping in the teacup; they were honeysuckle.

Gu Shenge looked at the students below the stage, his gaze landing on Ye Lingling. Seeing her slightly raised head, looking like she wanted to praise him, made him want to laugh.

This girl.

"Teacher, does that mean that as long as one's innate soul power is high enough, no matter what kind of martial soul one has, one's future achievements will not be bad?"

Ning Rongrong raised her hand to ask a question, and Gu Shenge put down her teacup and nodded.

"A Soul Master's achievements do not depend on their Martial Soul, but on their innate Soul Power. Of course, this is not absolute. Even if one's innate Soul Power is low, if one is lucky and has great opportunities to obtain rare and precious materials that can improve their aptitude, one can still go far on the path of a Soul Master."

Upon hearing about rare and precious materials that could enhance one's aptitude, the girls' eyes lit up. Could such a thing really exist?

"Teacher, teacher, where can I find rare and precious materials to improve one's aptitude?"

Qiu Ruoshui eagerly raised her hand to ask. Among the Tianshui Girls' Group, apart from Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, the other five members were only considered to be above average in terms of talent. If they hadn't been the academy's top contenders, they wouldn't have been able to enter the elite class at all.

Therefore, they also want to improve their own qualifications so as not to hold the elite class back.

Gu Shenge shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either, which made the girls look disappointed.

"Alright, enough of that. Let's get back to the main topic: the limitations on the absorption of spirit rings."

Gossip over, time to get back to class.

"The absorption of a soul ring by a soul master is not only limited by the age, but the main reason is the soul master himself."

Gu Shenge turned around and wrote three words on the blackboard.

Physical fitness, soul strength, and martial spirit quality.

Looking at the three words on the blackboard, the girls looked puzzled. They only knew how many years of soul rings one should absorb at each level, but they had never heard of such a rule.

"A Soul Master's ability to absorb Soul Rings depends on these three points. As long as your physical attributes are high enough, your soul is strong enough, and your Martial Soul is of top quality, even a level ten Soul Master can absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring. Of course, this is just a hypothetical scenario, but my teacher is a living example. At level ten, the first Soul Ring he absorbed was over 1,300 years old, more than three times the highest age of the first Soul Ring. And all the Soul Rings I absorbed afterward were from higher levels..."

"Absorbing different spirit rings not only provides different spirit skills, but also causes different changes to the martial spirit..."

Gu Shenge pointed to her nine spirit rings and, using herself as an example, began to explain in detail. The girls listened with great interest, their eyes filled with surprise, and they occasionally gasped in astonishment.

Soon, the morning's theoretical lessons came to an end.

As the bell rang, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er and the others turned around and looked at the blackboard full of theories on soul ring absorption, as well as their own notes. They felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

So there are many intricacies involved in absorbing a spirit ring.

Shui Bing'er and the others were somewhat emotional. If Teacher Gu had taught them when they first awakened their martial souls, they would definitely be stronger than they are now.

"Alright, that concludes this morning's lessons. We won't have classes in the classroom this afternoon; instead, we'll meet outside the teachers' dormitory. Ye Lingling, come to my office."

When Gu Shenge heard the bell ring for the end of get out of class, she announced the meeting place for the afternoon, which was the open space outside the small villa.

"Good teacher."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's pretty face lit up with joy. She quickly got up, took a teacup from her chest, and followed Gu Shenge out of the classroom.

Xiao Wu pouted, somewhat unhappy, when she saw that Gu Shenge only called Ye Lingling and not her.

Wuhun City.

Inside the offering hall, Qian Daoliu frowned as he looked at the letter in his hand, which was formed from soul power, passed through an array, and crossed the ocean. A deep sense of apprehension appeared in his eyes.

"Why would the Di clan suddenly send people to Douluo Continent? What do they want?"

Although the Qian clan and the Di clan are both descendants of the Angel God, starting from Qian Daoliu's grandfather's generation, they have resisted the Di clan coming from the Sun Moon Continent to the Douluo Continent.

There's no other reason than that the Di clan is too powerful. A thousand years ago, they had no fewer than ten demigod-level experts. Now, a thousand years later, given the unique nature of their martial souls, they will only become more powerful.

If it weren't for the rules set by the Angel God and that person, requiring the permission of the Qian clan to come to Douluo Continent, the Di clan would have already sent powerful figures to Douluo Continent and conquered it.

After much deliberation, Qian Daoliu chose to refuse. No matter what the Di clan was sending people for, now was not the time. At least wait until the Spirit Hall unified the Douluo Continent.

(Don't tell me that the Sun Moon Continent belongs to the Xu family or something; that's Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, and my story is original.)

(Chat group: 154729280. To discuss the plot.)

Chapters 71 and 70: Qian Daoliu's apprehension, the Sun and Moon Emperor Clan.

Seeing the indignant girls denouncing Yu Xiaogang as shameless, Gu Shenge told them to quiet down and not get agitated.

"Remember, just take these 'masters' and 'experts' as a joke; don't take them seriously."

"Let me tell you another joke about a master. He once said something to encourage himself: 'There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters.' This sounds somewhat true, but upon closer examination, it is actually completely wrong."

When Shui Bing'er and the others heard this joke, they all started to think about it. At first glance, it did make some sense, but upon closer inspection, it became very illogical, and they couldn't figure out exactly why it was illogical.

"There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters? Is he talking about himself?"

Shuiyue asked a question out of curiosity, and Gu Shenge nodded.

"Yu Xiaogang wanted to use this sentence to prove that he was not a good-for-nothing, but he overlooked a very important point, which is innate soul power."

When the topic of innate soul power came up, the girls finally understood what was amiss.

Yu Xiaogang only mentioned martial spirit, not innate soul power.

Seeing the girls' expressions of sudden realization, Gu Shenge knew they had all figured it out.

"It seems you've all guessed it. That's right, innate soul power determines the ultimate growth point of a soul master. Even if a soul master possesses a top-tier martial soul, if their innate soul power is extremely low, or even nonexistent, unless they encounter a tremendous opportunity, they won't go far on the path of a soul master."

"On the contrary, if one possesses innate full soul power, even a pig could potentially become a Title Douluo."

"But unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang's martial soul is neither pig nor dog, and his innate soul power is only half a level, which means he is destined not to become a powerful soul master."

"So the statement that there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters is true, but not entirely true. To sum it up in one sentence, it depends on the person."

"This statement works for someone with full innate soul power but a pig spirit. However, it doesn't work for someone whose spirit is a pig and whose innate soul power is extremely low or even nonexistent."

After saying so much in one go, Gu Shenge felt a little thirsty. She picked up a cup from the podium, removed the lid, and took a sip.

Ok?

He paused slightly, looking at the teacup with some confusion. He didn't seem to remember bringing a teacup. Who prepared this? The taste was quite good, sweet with a slight bitterness, and quite soothing to the throat.

I looked at the few white flowers steeping in the teacup; they were honeysuckle.

Gu Shenge looked at the students below the stage, his gaze landing on Ye Lingling. Seeing her slightly raised head, looking like she wanted to praise him, made him want to laugh.
