Card Kingdom: This kid's codex is full of gold

Zhang Yun was circulating his soul technique when a pig-like squeal suddenly rang out beside him, startling him so much that he almost broke the spell.

However, he had a strong mental fortitude and withstood the external pressure, continuing to calmly circulate his soul technique.

He knew this was probably a test from Teacher Zhou Na, and if he stopped, she might scold him.

He didn't want to listen to the teacher's lecture, so he could only calm himself down and continue circulating the soul technique.

"Oops!"

Zhou Na realized her lapse in composure and tightly covered her cherry-like mouth, afraid that she would be startled again and scream, disturbing Zhang Yun's cultivation.

At this moment, Zhou Na was deeply shocked.

This can be seen from her wide, bulging eyes behind her thick glasses.

In Zhou Na's mind, Zhang Yun had already been labeled: a monster!

From the time he closed his eyes and began circulating his soul technique until now, less than 3 minutes had passed, yet he had already triggered the soul power flame!

This speed, while not quite the speed of light, is almost like riding a rocket!

Zhou Na still remembers that she first came into contact with the Soul Technique when she was 10 years old.

Back then, her father, her mother, her grandmother, and almost the entire family pitched in, offering detailed explanations, patient encouragement, and even shouting.

The purpose was to enable Zhou Na to grasp the secrets of the Soul Technique and to begin learning it as soon as possible.

Persistence pays off. After half a month of hard work, the whole family finally helped Zhou Na master the basics of the Soul Technique and trigger a faint burst of Soul Power...

At that time, her whole family was overjoyed!

While his beginner level of the Half-Moon Soul Technique wasn't particularly outstanding, it was still significantly better than that of an average summoner.

Compared to her peers in her class at the time, she was far ahead.

At the time, her grandfather, the headmaster, was overjoyed and praised her for her promising future, saying she would definitely become a silver-level summoner.

She was proud of that incident for a long time and often bragged about it to her classmates.

It wasn't until she entered junior high school and was placed in the highly competitive S class that she gradually became mediocre.

But this brat in front of me actually generated a soul power flame in just three minutes...

This speed at which she grasped the concepts really annoyed Zhou Na!

To teach this brat, Zhou Na spent 1000 yuan on Baidu Baike (a Chinese encyclopedia platform) to download video tutorials from famous teachers.

I was planning to secretly learn a bit of their techniques to use instructing Zhang Yun.

Good heavens... this brat mastered it in less than 3 minutes and even triggered the Soul Power Flame...

Looking at his serious expression as he meditated with his eyes closed, Zhou Na thought he looked very handsome, but she also really wanted to give this brat a good beating!

Who told him to comprehend the Soul Technique so quickly!

Why don't you consider the feelings of people with disabilities!

That's right...

Zhou Na felt that compared to Zhang Yun, she was like a disabled person, and moreover, someone with extremely low intelligence...

"Waaah, that wretched guy, how dare he be so powerful..."

"He's so outstanding, how are we supposed to teach him..."

At this moment, Zhou Na felt extremely wronged.

She felt so inferior, almost to the point of going crazy, because she was stuck with such a prodigy student...

Zhang Yun had no idea that her small performance had made her homeroom teacher so ashamed she was about to explode...

At this moment, he was still concentrating on controlling his soul power, focusing all his efforts on slowly circulating it along the invisible meridian pathways...

As time passed, the white flames of soul power spread from his shoulders to his arms, torso, and legs, eventually enveloping his entire body...

He looked like a little white fireman...

The cast-iron codex seemed to sense its master's call, and it continued to emit resounding sounds—

Waaaaah!

Waaaaah!

At this moment, the codex seemed to have come to life and began to spin rapidly around Zhang Yun.

The scene was bizarre, leaving Teacher Zhou Na completely bewildered.

When she cultivates the Soul Technique, the magic book doesn't move freely, and she doesn't know what that means...

But she was certain of one thing: Zhang Yun was truly awesome!

That's incredibly awesome!

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed...

The soul flames surrounding Zhang Yun's body had become almost tangible, practically enveloping every inch of his skin...

At the same time, the soul power within his body was being rapidly consumed and condensed, becoming increasingly viscous...

This is a sign that the initial stage of the Soul Technique is about to be completed!

Zhou Na was completely stunned, staring blankly at Zhang Yun's profile, her pretty face filled only with astonishment and shock...

She still vaguely remembers that when she first activated the Soul Technique after she had just learned it, it took her 2 minutes and 37 seconds.

At that time, her summoner was at the first tier, fourth stage, and her soul power was quite abundant.

Compared to many of her peers, she is quite impressive, ranking in the upper-middle range.

But this stinky guy in front of me has been activating his soul technique at full speed for a full half hour!

And there's no sign of it stopping!

Calling this talent monstrous is an understatement, even Zhou Na felt....

She couldn't find the right words to describe Zhang Yun's talent...

Compared to the students in front of her, she felt like a dim-witted clown and a mentally challenged child...

She had initially intended to guide him, but now, thinking about it, she felt even more like a clown...

"call..."

Suddenly, Zhang Yun exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly awoke from his meditation.

He struggled to open his bright eyes, a deep weariness hidden in them, and his muscles ached all over, as if he had run a 5-kilometer cross-country run with heavy loads.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, exuding a strong youthful masculinity.

He wiped the sweat from his face and immediately asked Zhou Na:

"Teacher Zhou, when I activate the Soul Technique, I always feel a lot of resistance, as if I'm lifting a thousand-pound weight."

"Is there something wrong with how I'm practicing the Soul Cultivation Technique?"

"Also, I feel that my soul power is almost completely depleted after only a short time of practicing the Soul Technique. Is this because my level is too low, or because my foundation is too weak?"

Upon hearing these questions, Ms. Zhou's lips twitched uncontrollably...

She seriously suspected that Zhang Yun was deliberately pretending to be Tang...

When a summoner first learns the Soul Technique, being able to maintain its effect for three minutes is considered excellent...

When she first successfully activated the Soul Technique, she could only last for 2 minutes and 37 seconds before collapsing from exhaustion on the prayer mat.

She wasn't even worthy of being a woman for three minutes, yet her grandfather praised her for an entire afternoon.

She was quite smug at the time...

Looking back now, she can hardly tell whether her grandfather was genuinely praising her or lying with good intentions...

However, one thing is certain... what this brat said was too Versailles-esque!

The first time I practiced the Soul Technique, it took me half an hour. I even doubted whether my foundation was too weak.

I've seen Versailles, but I've never seen anything this extraordinary!

If his foundation is considered weak, then what is the thickness of Zhou Na's foundation?

Nanometer thickness? Or micrometer thickness?

His question instantly turned Zhou Na's bitter feelings into anger!

That despicable student, how dare he talk to his teacher, Versailles!

Fine, since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too!

Zhou Na rolled her eyes, pushed up her thick-rimmed glasses, and said solemnly:

"You have a problem with your comprehension!"

"What's the problem?"

Zhou Na glanced at him sideways, put on an air of maturity, and said, "When I first circulated my soul technique, it took me more than an hour to do it."

"Moreover, it's very smooth and easy to use when performing the Soul Technique; not a single drop of sweat comes out."

"Look at you, you're covered in sweat. People who don't know you might think you have kidney deficiency."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun frowned slightly...

His talent for comprehending soul techniques was actually inferior to that of Teacher Zhou Na...

Ms. Zhou Na was always called "Teacher Tang" by her students because she was not only weak in academics but also not very intelligent, and almost all the students in the class disliked her...

Zhang Yun originally thought that his talent was not bad, at least better than Teacher Zhou Na's.

Good heavens, it turned out to be inferior to Teacher Zhou Na...

This is absolutely infuriating...
