"I'm afraid it's a long shot. With her talent, she could make a name for herself without even joining an academy."
"We can only play a supporting role, a guiding light on her path."
Little did they know, Chen Qingling didn't need anything. With two Title Douluo backing her, a guiding light was the least of her concerns.
She understood everything she needed to, and even things she shouldn't.
"Let's take it one step at a time. If she needs help, we'll do our best. It'll be good for our reputation in the future."
"Exactly, it would be great if people remembered that Chen Qingling came from our academy."
"The most important thing is Martial Soul Hall Academy. We've been competing with them for so many years, and we always lose. I really want to surpass them, just once."
"It's just… there's still a long time until the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, I'm afraid… it won't be in time!"
"We'll see when the time comes."
Notting Academy.
Ever since Tang San got taught a lesson by Xiao Wu, no one had been bullied by him anymore.
He spent all day, every day, diligently cultivating in his dorm.
In the student dorms, Wang Sheng glanced at Tang San in the corner. He always felt like Tang San had changed, like he wasn't as wild as before.
But he didn't know that the seemingly normal person's heart had already become twisted beyond recognition.
"Xiao Wu, Tang San seems to have become a lot more well-behaved."
Xiao Wu didn't seem to care. "So what if he's well-behaved? Wang Sheng, you should focus less on him and more on improving your Soul Power Level."
Wang Sheng gave a wry smile. "Xiao Wu, you know I don't have the same talent as you and Qingling."
"In my life… I don't ask for riches or glory. I just want to live a peaceful life, take care of those who care for me until they pass away, and I'll be content."
"As for Soul Power Level, reaching Soul Grand Master would bring honor to my ancestors."
Watching Wang Sheng's eyes filled with dreams of the future, Xiao Wu also felt a little hopeful. A smile slowly appeared on her face.
I wonder what kind of connection Qingling and I will have in the future?
I really look forward to it!
Their entire conversation was heard clearly by Tang San, word for word.
He sneered inwardly, filled with resentment towards Chen Qingling.
It was because of this outsider that his lover had been taken away, causing him and his love to drift apart!
Once he became strong enough, he would settle the score with Chen Qingling!
At the same time, Tang Hao, returning from drinking alone, saw that his son wasn't as much of a scoundrel as he used to be, but was instead diligently cultivating. He was quite surprised.
"This boy... finally doesn't make me worry so much!"
Tang Hao had no idea that this Tang San was no longer the same Tang San.
"It's just... I feel like this sudden change is so drastic, I'm not used to it," Tang Hao sighed with emotion, then shook his head.
Wasn't it a good thing that he had improved?
How could he say such a thing?
"Sigh, I don't know when he'll finally break away from Martial Soul Hall."
Thinking of Tang San's confrontation, Tang Hao fell silent.
With his personality, getting Tang San to leave Martial Soul Hall wouldn't be easy.
Skywater Academy.
Shui Binger pulled Chen Qingling to observe her Simulated Training Ground.
Shui Binger's Simulated Training Ground had a piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow, which was completely transparent, freezing the man-made lake.
Feeling the bone-chilling cold, Chen Qingling couldn't help but shiver.
"What is this?" Chen Qingling had never seen this Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow before, and it was outside her realm of knowledge.
Shui Binger giggled, "You didn't know? This was a rare treasure that the vice-principal personally went to the ice caves of the extreme north to find – the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow."
"Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow?"
"That's right. The Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow is perfectly suited to my martial soul. It can make my cultivation much more effective."
Chen Qingling nodded thoughtfully. She knew the purpose of the Simulated Training Ground, but didn't understand it deeply.
"Tsk, Qingling, you're really something else."
"Huh?! What's so special?" Qingling was confused, her brain wasn't catching up.
"If it were Xue Wu and the others, they wouldn't be able to stay here for long. Don't you feel like the temperature has already dropped below freezing?"
Chen Qingling belatedly realized, "Ah, this. I just feel a little cold, but I can handle it."
"Back then... when I was in the Star Dou Great Forest, I didn't even have soul power. Every winter, I had to build a bonfire. Gradually, I became resistant to the cold."
"It wasn't until I cultivated for more than a year and gained soul power that I became even more resistant."
"That's perfectly normal. Everyone's like that, it's just that some people can't handle the cold."
"Wait a minute?! Qingling, what did you just say? How long have you been cultivating?"
"A little over a year?!"
"Qingling, are you sure you're not mistaken?!"
Shui Binger's expression was shocked, and she grabbed Qingling's wrist.
Chen Qingling blinked, "I'm not mistaken, I've only been cultivating for a little over a year."
Shui Binger was petrified on the spot.
Her mind kept replaying Qingling's words.
Just over a year of cultivation… just over a year of cultivation…
No!
How could this be possible!
There's no way you only awakened your Martial Soul at the age of twelve, right?
Suddenly, Shui Binger thought of something. Didn't Qingling say she lived in the Star Dou Great Forest? Could it be that she only came out at twelve?
And then, awakening her Martial Soul? She reached Soul Ancestor in just over a year?
This… This cultivation speed is simply too heaven-defying!
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears, Shui Binger would never have believed it.
Having understood everything, Shui Binger couldn't recover for a long time, simply because it was too shocking.
"Binger? Binger? Are you alright?"
Chen Qingling shook Shui Binger's jade-like hand. Shui Binger shuddered, looked at Chen Qingling's face, and took a deep breath, "I'm fine, just shocked by what you said."
Then, Shui Binger gave a bitter smile, "Hehe, just this one thing has completely extinguished my desire to chase after you, Qingling."
"Achieving Soul Ancestor in just over a year... From ancient times to the present, I'm afraid you're the only one, Qingling. How can I catch up to you?"
Shui Binger deflated like a pufferfish. One must know their own limitations. She felt that even if she were given several years of accelerated cultivation, she still wouldn't be able to keep up with Chen Qingling's pace.
"Ah, this... Binger, don't be discouraged. Your goal doesn't have to be to catch up to me. You can set a small goal, like increasing your Soul Power Level by a few levels this year," Chen Qingling comforted.
She felt that her own talent was extremely good, vastly different from ordinary people, and couldn't be viewed with common sense.
Shui Binger looked at the innocent Chen Qingling and opened her mouth.
The words were perfectly reasonable, but they were also incredibly hurtful.
No comparison, no contrast, and no harm.
At the same time, in the thatched cottage of Star Dou Great Forest.
Chen Shenggē split the ten-thousand-year giant lizard into several sections and slowly roasted them over a fire.
He didn't know that the sword he had slashed at the ten-thousand-year giant lizard had flown outside.
A few minutes earlier, facing the sudden, earth-shattering sword, Dì Tiān and other ferocious beasts felt their scalps tingle.
Without hesitation, Dì Tiān unleashed his full power, his claws attempting to grasp the One Sword, Three Thousand Li.
Psshh.
