Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

The main reason is that her silly older sister, Shuiyue'er, always likes to skip her cultivation and sneak peeks at Xingqiu.

She wanted to damage Xingqiu's image in front of her silly older sister, so that her silly older sister wouldn't actually fall for Xingqiu.

At their age, they shouldn't be thinking about those things; they should be focusing on cultivating and improving their strength.

Therefore, we can only ask Mr. Xingqiu to make do.

Of course, she will be careful to keep things in check, and will only slightly damage Teacher Xingqiu's image.

We can't really embarrass Teacher Xingqiu too much.

After all, the other party has been at the academy for so long and has always been well-behaved, doing nothing but studying.

The only slightly out-of-the-box thing I did was read a few books that are not publicly available.

We also can't let the other party lose face.

Shui Bing'er was mentally calculating her options.

However, at this moment, all the beautiful girls present fell silent.

They all looked at each other, their gazes shifting between Shui Bing'er and Xing Qiu.

They wanted to speak, but hesitated, as they were also somewhat skeptical of Teacher Xingqiu.

After all, Shui Bing'er was incredibly popular in the academy, while they knew nothing about Teacher Xing Qiu.

Shuiyue'er wanted to say something more, but at that moment, she was pulled away by Xuewu, who hadn't spoken yet.

Others may not know Shui Bing'er's thoughts, but during this period of time, they have begun to try to cultivate the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Shui Bing'er.

Having spent so much time with Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu had gradually developed a deep connection with her and was able to clearly understand Shui Bing'er's thoughts.

Although, at this moment, the two are still far from mastering the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Thus, just as the atmosphere became somewhat strange, Xingqiu spoke up.

"The problem that Shui Bing'er is encountering should be a stagnation in the flow of Qi and blood, right?"

As he spoke, Xingqiu then gave a simple demonstration of a few of the movements that Shui Bing'er had practiced earlier.

"Was it during these few movements that you discovered the problem?" Xingqiu said, a slight smile playing on his lips, looking at Shui Bing'er before falling silent.

When Shui Bing'er saw Lu Yan's demonstration, her icy blue eyes immediately contracted.

Chapter 183: Clarifying the Mystery, Shui Bing'er's Change of Attitude

How did he know?

The thought subconsciously arose in Shui Bing'er's mind.

What followed was a look of utter disbelief.

Thus, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but ask Xing Qiu, "Teacher Xing Qiu, how did you know?"

A pair of icy blue eyes looked at Xingqiu, filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

The others were also taken aback by the sudden change in the situation. After glancing at Shui Bing'er, they all turned their gazes to Xing Qiu.

Judging from Shui Bing'er's words, it was clear that Xing Qiu's demonstration had accurately hit Shui Bing'er's sore spot.

Immediately, everyone's perception of Xingqiu underwent a significant change.

This Mr. Xingqiu seems to be quite something; he's no ordinary person!

Especially Shuiyue'er, whose chubby face was beaming with a delighted smile.

Teacher Xingqiu is amazing! As expected, Teacher Xingqiu is truly knowledgeable.

Seeing the elder sister's cultivation, he was eager to learn. Perhaps he didn't want to have an academic exchange, but rather, as a teacher, he wanted to guide the elder sister.

Sure enough, Teacher Xingqiu is not only good-looking and knowledgeable, but also a very nice person!

With her self-guided strategy in mind, Shui Yue'er looked at Xing Qiu with eyes practically sparkling.

When Xingqiu saw Shui Bing'er's question, he smiled slightly and said in a joking tone, "Of course I can tell with my own eyes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions froze. Clearly, they hadn't expected Teacher Xingqiu's answer to be so humorous.

While everyone paused for a moment, Shui Yue'er was the first to react and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Teacher Xingqiu, please be serious!" Shuiyue'er said to Xingqiu in a coquettish tone.

The others couldn't help but twitch their lips at that moment.

On the contrary, Shui Bing'er's reaction was particularly serious: "Please give me some guidance, Teacher Xingqiu. How should I solve the problem of stagnation of qi and blood in these movements?"

Shui Bing'er admitted that she had underestimated Teacher Xingqiu.

To be able to discover problems from such a distance, simply through one's own cultivation movements.

It is likely that his skill in cultivating qi and blood, at least in guiding exercises, is definitely no less than mine, and may even be more than mine.

Immediately, Shui Bing'er put away her previous ulterior motives and became more serious about Xing Qiu.

However, Shui Bing'er still had doubts about whether Teacher Xingqiu could truly solve her problems.

After all, this is not just her problem, but also a common problem among many practitioners of Daoyin Gong in the academy.

Even the advanced Soul Masters in the academy only have a superficial understanding of this problem and are at a loss for how to solve it in a short period of time.

"Shui Bing'er, why do you think the flow of qi and blood in these movements is sluggish? What is the reason?" Xingqiu did not give an answer immediately, but asked in return.

When teaching students, the most important thing is not to give them answers, but to guide them to think for themselves.

Yes, perfect timing. Let's start harvesting Tianshui Academy's faith-based traffic from here.

While laying the groundwork for researching martial soul fusion, it also serves as a stepping stone for acquiring faith traffic, making the most of a single opportunity.

Upon hearing Xingqiu's question, Shui Bing'er instinctively replied, "Is it because my movements are not standard enough? Or is it because my mind and body are not coordinated?"

Upon receiving Shui Bing'er's response, Xing Qiu nodded: "It seems that Shui Bing'er has a very good understanding of the guiding exercises. Not bad, not bad."

“However, Shui Bing’er, your problem doesn’t lie in these areas.” Xing Qiu shook his head and chuckled. “Your movements are very standard, and your coordination between mind and body is also quite good.”

"It's clear that Shui Bing'er is very serious about this and has put in a lot of effort."

"But that's precisely the problem."

Huh? What do you mean? It wasn't just Shui Bing'er who didn't understand Xing Qiu's meaning.

The group of beautiful girls present also looked completely bewildered.

"Teacher Xingqiu, stop being so mysterious!" Shuiyue'er ran over and shook Xingqiu's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Hehe, this isn't about keeping you in suspense, but about guiding Shui Bing'er to think for herself." Xing Qiu glanced at Shui Yue'er's little hand that was hugging his arm, and then spoke to her as well.

"Little Yue'er, think about it too, where is the problem?"

"Here's a little hint: Could it be that Shui Bing'er's problem is also appearing in some students with advanced or top-tier martial souls?"

As soon as Xingqiu finished speaking, Shui Bing'er had a flash of inspiration and immediately said, "I understand, Teacher Xingqiu, you mean the problem with the guiding exercises?"

"Well, to be precise, it's a compatibility issue with guided exercises?"

Upon hearing Shui Bing'er's words, the group of beautiful girls also turned their gazes toward Xing Qiu.

“Not bad.” Xingqiu nodded.

"But why is that? Doesn't the Lu Clan Chamber of Commerce sell universal guiding techniques?" a beautiful young woman asked, puzzled.

Xingqiu did not answer, but instead looked at Shui Bing'er.

As expected, Shui Bing'er explained, "It's precisely because it's universal, right? In order to achieve universality, we sacrifice specificity, and the higher the level of the martial soul, the greater its impact on the soul master's body."

"That's why there's a clear compatibility issue." After Shui Bing'er finished speaking, she looked at Xing Qiu, hoping to get a positive answer from him.

Xingqiu nodded slightly in agreement; Shui Bing'er's understanding was absolutely correct.

Fundamentally, it's because of the Martial Soul bloodline, or rather, its laws, that make the Soul Master's body and even spirit different from ordinary people.

The higher the level of a Soul Master's Martial Soul, the stronger the influence of its laws.

The compatibility issues of universal guiding functions become more and more obvious.

In fact, many intelligent people have probably already vaguely noticed this, but because the practice of Daoyin Gong has only been around for a short time, people's understanding of it is not yet deep enough.

Perhaps given enough time, someone will be able to develop a unique form of guided exercise based on general guided exercises.

"So, Shui Bing'er, do you understand how to solve your problem?" Xing Qiu said to Shui Bing'er with a smile.

"Yes, Teacher Xingqiu's advice reminded me of that sentence in the book on Daoyin Gong."

“Use form to guide qi, and qi to guide form; form and qi communicate with each other, and form and spirit unite.” Shui Bing’er nodded seriously in response, and then continued to speak.

"So, my next practice shouldn't be to follow the guiding exercises exactly, but rather to use qi to guide the form and develop my own unique guiding exercises, right?"

Shui Bing'er felt a sudden realization, and her gaze towards Xing Qiu became even more respectful.

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Xingqiu!" Shui Bing'er bowed to Xingqiu and thanked him in a very formal manner.

"Hehe, Yue'er also thanks Teacher Xingqiu!" Shui Yue'er's attitude was completely different from Shui Bing'er's, and she had a playful look.

However, the admiration for Teacher Xingqiu was almost overflowing in her big eyes.

The other girls also thanked Xingqiu, expressing their gratitude to Teacher Xingqiu for answering their questions.

After all, Daoyin Gong (a type of Qigong) is now a compulsory course at Tianshui College, and even many other colleges.

At this moment, Lu Yan also noticed that a few more faint stars had appeared in his spiritual world.

Of course, this was just the beginning. Faced with the thanks from the group of beautiful girls, Xingqiu smiled slightly and spoke again.

Chapter 184: Passing on the Technique, the True Colors Revealed

"I recently derived a set of guiding exercises based on general guiding exercises that are more suitable for water-attribute users, so I thought I'd share it with you."

"Using this as a reference, it will be easier for you to develop your own exclusive guiding techniques in the future," Xingqiu said with a calm smile.

"Oh, really? That's wonderful! Teacher Xingqiu, you're so kind!" Upon hearing this, Shuiyue'er immediately cheered excitedly, her voice sweet and somewhat cloying.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er subconsciously glared at Shui Yue'er, then said to Xing Qiu, "Thank you for your kindness, Teacher Xing Qiu, but isn't this too much trouble?"

“After all…” Shui Bing’er hadn’t finished speaking when Xing Qiu interrupted her with a smile: “It’s alright, Shui Bing’er, don’t forget that I’m now considered your teacher!”
