Sunset and sunrise, ten days later.
Early morning, in the grand hall of the Elf Residence in Heaven Dou City.
"Xiao Li, how have you been progressing with the foundational theories of the Spirit Master World?"
After having breakfast with Su Xiaoli, Yunxiao began to assess her recent progress.
Hearing Yunxiao's question, Su Xiaoli, who had been studying tirelessly for over ten days, nodded with confidence.
"Master, I have basically learned all the foundational theories of the Spirit Master World."
Following this, Su Xiaoli began to slowly recount what she had learned.
An hour later.
After listening to Su Xiaoli's explanation, Yunxiao nodded in satisfaction.
While she hadn't mastered everything, she had grasped about seventy to eighty percent of it.
Apart from some obscure and rare principles, as well as the deeper laws of Martial Soul mutations, Su Xiaoli had almost fully comprehended the foundational theories of the Spirit Master World.
"Good, we'll start practical training in a couple of days."
With that, Yunxiao gently patted Su Xiaoli's head.
Great strength must be paired with ample combat experience.
Otherwise, possessing immense power without the corresponding combat experience would be nothing more than a paper tiger, all bark and no bite.
"Xiao Li, regarding practical training, I have a few suggestions. See which one suits you best..."
"Yes, yes, Master, please go on."
Seeing this, Su Xiaoli obediently nodded.
Yunxiao then slowly laid out his plans.
First, he could arrange for Su Xiaoli to enroll in an advanced Soul Master academy, where she could train and spar with fellow students and teachers.
This option was more suitable for a beginner like Su Xiaoli, but it would take a considerable amount of time.
After all, gaining substantial combat experience wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.
Second, he could arrange for Su Xiaoli to participate in battles at the Great Spirit Arena to quickly enhance her combat experience.
This method, aside from frequent injuries, would also draw a lot of attention.
After all, a Soul Grandmaster with four black ten-thousand-year Soul Rings would undoubtedly cause a stir.
However, with his own strength, Yunxiao could suppress any covetous forces.
Third, he could take Su Xiaoli directly to the Soul Beast Forest to battle Soul Beasts.
This last option, aside from being thrilling and injury-prone, would also involve dealing with unexpected situations.
After finishing a cup of tea, Yunxiao left the decision to Su Xiaoli.
Although he could teach her some combat experience, their fighting styles and the gap in their Soul Power levels were too vast.
When facing enemies weaker than himself, a single Soul Power attack from him would end the battle.
When facing evenly matched opponents, his advantage of abundant Soul Power allowed him to engage in prolonged battles, and he could hardly be defeated.
When facing stronger enemies, his Six-Winged Elf King Soul Skills ensured he remained undefeated.
Just as Su Xiaoli was still pondering, a knock was heard at the entrance of the residence.
"Oh, another visitor?"
Yunxiao wasn't surprised that someone had come to visit.
After all, he was a Titled Douluo, and he had been residing in Heaven Dou City for quite some time.
If no one came to visit him, that would indeed be strange.
"Master, Xiao Li will go and greet the guests."
Before Yunxiao could say anything more, Su Xiaoli had already made her way toward the entrance of the residence.
Seeing this, Yunxiao smiled lightly and then quietly focused his spiritual power to keep an eye on Su Xiaoli.
Upon opening the door, the first thing that caught her eye was the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe," dressed in exquisite and luxurious attire, accompanied by Yu Luomian from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"You... you're Xiao Li?"
As soon as Xue Qinghe saw Su Xiaoli's flawless face, he almost didn't recognize her, especially since she still maintained her cat-girl appearance.
Good heavens, what a sight!
It hadn't even been half a month since they last met, and yet Su Xiaoli had changed so much.
Look at that smooth and delicate skin.
Look at that radiant face.
Look at that perfectly proportioned figure.
It was as if she had been nourished by love, just like she had been in the past.
And it was no wonder Xue Qinghe felt this way.
Su Xiaoli had always been quite delicate in appearance, though her figure had been slightly thin due to malnutrition.
Otherwise, those "cancerous" Soul Master mercenaries wouldn't have captured her and sold her to the Tiandou Auction House.
By the same token, if Su Xiaoli had been ugly, the Tiandou Auction House wouldn't have bought her, and Ning Caichen wouldn't have gifted her to Yunxiao.
After Su Xiaoli became a member of the Elf Clan, she was further nourished by Soul Power.
And with the good food and care she received at the Elf Residence, Su Xiaoli had now completely transformed.
The current Su Xiaoli surpassed even Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling in beauty.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was one of the top beauties on the Douluo Continent.
Her fluffy cat ears and tail added a unique charm to her appearance.
"Yes, Your Highness, I am Xiao Li."
Facing Xue Qinghe's astonishment and subtle envy, Su Xiaoli nodded in confusion.
After this period of learning, she now understood what the Crown Prince represented.
Although Su Xiaoli didn't know why the Crown Prince envied her, as a dutiful little maid, she led the two of them to the main hall of the residence.
As she walked ahead of them, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but show a faint trace of envy and confusion.
"Has that scoundrel Yunxiao finally come around?"
"Did he agree to my previous suggestion?"
"But then again, even if Su Xiaoli has been nourished by love, this change is too drastic, isn't it?"
Even though she herself had been nourished by love in the past, her transformation hadn't been as astonishing as Su Xiaoli's.
Despite Qian Renxue's own beauty being among the top on the Douluo Continent, what woman wouldn't want to become even more beautiful and captivating?
A moment later, Su Xiaoli led Xue Qinghe and Yu Luomian into the main hall of the residence.
She then proceeded to prepare tea, serve fruits, and arrange snacks.
After making all the necessary preparations for the guests, Su Xiaoli left the main hall.
"Brother Qinghe, try the tea that Xiao Li prepared."
"Xiao Li's achievements are largely thanks to you."
Yunxiao glanced at Su Xiaoli, who was quite skilled in her maid duties. He then picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip, and slowly teased "Xue Qinghe."
"Xue Qinghe": "..."
She couldn't possibly miss the underlying meaning in Yunxiao's teasing. But there was no helping it; discussing seven small goals with Yunxiao every day was exhausting.
Ten days ago, they had been having too much fun, which led to her becoming severely dehydrated. Because of this, she had no choice but to consider finding a warm bed companion to help share the burden.
Unlike the strange conversation between Yunxiao and "Xue Qinghe," Yu Luomian, who had been silently standing by, felt extremely awkward. As the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was being completely ignored by Elf Douluo. It was infuriating, shaking, and chilling.
