Qin Ming was unsure how to guide Wang Li. As a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master, he fought against a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master without falling into a significant disadvantage until Yu Tianheng, a Spirit Elder, used his Third Soul Skill. Only then was Wang Li, who was merely a Spirit Grandmaster, struck by the numerous and fast lightning bolts.
If he were to scold him for that, he, as a teacher, would blush. However, this also gave him a deeper understanding of Wang Li.
He was extremely proficient in the use of his Spirit and Spirit Abilities, controlling all the Blue Silver Grass as if they were his own arms, incredibly flexible.
This was only because he was facing a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit. If it were a non-elemental Beast Spirit, the opponent might have exhausted all their spirit power and still been unable to escape the interference of the Blue Silver Grass.
Wang Li must have trained specifically for his Spirit and Spirit Abilities in the past, which allowed him to perform so exceptionally.
Furthermore, his physical quality was incredibly strong; his speed and strength were comparable to Spirit Masters with Beast Spirits of the same level.
No wonder running twenty-five laps was still not his physical limit. Therefore, Qin Ming decided to observe him for a period, letting him battle various Spirit Masters—attack system, agility-attack system, Beast Spirit, Tool Spirit—to enhance his practical combat experience.
Just as the sun hung high in the sky, the staff in the academy's cafeteria had already delivered food to their campus area.
The main dishes were various stews and thick soups, with carrots and potatoes inside that were already quite soft, flavorful, and fragrant, making one's mouth water.
The main staple was rice, with additional vegetables and fruits; the nutritional balance was truly impeccable.
Wang Li even suspected that Heaven Dou Royal Academy raised a batch of low-level Spirit Beasts under a hundred years old; otherwise, where would they get so much high-quality meat? Ordinary animals, at least, would be hard-pressed to have such texture and taste.
Their dining spot was on a terrace next to the sports field. The terrace was almost suspended, with both open and semi-open sections. The scenery here was excellent; sitting here, one could enjoy the beautiful views of both the mountain and the foot of the mountain.
After finishing their meal, Dugu Yan leaned back in her chair, half-closing her eyes and basking in the sun. Because her Spirit also had a poison attribute, she enjoyed the warm feeling of the sun. She softly murmured:
"Xiao Li, in the afternoon, we can cultivate on our own. I'll take you to find the most suitable simulated cultivation environment for you later. From now on, it will basically be like this."
"Training in the morning, cultivating in the afternoon. We have four days of vacation each month, and the next vacation is about half a month away."
"When we have a holiday, Yan Yan Jie will take you to Heaven Dou City to play. There are so many delicious foods and fun things there. If Grandpa is free, he'll come to pick me up, and I'll ask Grandpa to take us to play."
Wang Li felt quite emotional upon hearing this. He hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. Through Dugu Yan, he could contact Dugu Bo, and then he would have a chance to obtain Immortal Herbs. If a Titled Douluo was willing to spar with him, he wondered how much experience he could gain.
Therefore, he naturally wouldn't refuse:
"Okay, I've always been in Fasinuo Province before, and I've never been to Di'ao Province or Heaven Dou City."
As Dugu Bo's granddaughter, there were very few places in Heaven Dou City, inside and out, that Dugu Yan couldn't go. Therefore, upon hearing Wang Li's words, she enthusiastically began to introduce the situation in Heaven Dou City.
Half an hour later, Dugu Yan first accompanied Wang Li to find the most suitable simulated cultivation environment for Wang Li's Blue Silver Grass Spirit among the hundreds of simulated cultivation environments on the mountain and at its foot.
Then Dugu Yan left on her own; she also needed to cultivate. Wang Li's talent of being a nine-year-old with twenty-five spirit power also put a lot of pressure on her.
After Dugu Yan left, Wang Li did not immediately start cultivating. Instead, he pondered the battle with Yu Tianheng. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit was still very powerful.
That violent lightning attribute could easily destroy his Blue Silver Grass. Wang Li didn't fall into a significant disadvantage because of his two self-created movement Spirit Abilities, Instant Step and Explosive Feet.
The powerful Spirit Abilities that Yu Tianheng consumed a large amount of spirit power to release couldn't truly hit Wang Li, which gave him a chance to counterattack.
Otherwise, even with Wang Li's physical quality, he might not have been able to withstand the repeated destruction of lightning entering his body. Of course, as long as he had enough spirit power, constantly maintaining the "Revival" Spirit Ability, even if lightning entered his body, he could quickly recover and maintain combat effectiveness.
Thinking of this, Wang Li's expression became strange:
"So in the end, it's still because my spirit power is too low…"
In short, the next goal is to quickly increase his spirit power within a reasonable range. With enough spirit power, his Second Soul Skill can be fully effective. After cultivating to level thirty, he can go through the academy to hunt those plant Spirit Beasts with terrifying vitality and absorb their spirit ring and life essence. This way, his Blue Silver Grass Spirit will soon usher in its next evolution.
After setting his goal, Wang Li sat down and began to cultivate. The effect of the simulated cultivation environment was indeed very significant.
As Wang Li calmed down, he could feel the natural wind, carrying the unique fresh scent of plants, blowing across his face. All his pores opened, absorbing the rich free spirit power from the outside world.
His Spirit and his spirit power were both exceptionally active at this time. Wang Li repeatedly circulated his meditation method, completely engrossed and immersed in it.
When he woke up, the outside world was filled with stars, and a smile gradually appeared on his face:
"Twenty-sixth level spirit power, it came naturally. I was already close to breaking through to twenty-sixth level spirit power. The battle in the morning and the cultivation in the afternoon became a very good opportunity!"
Then he stood up, dusted himself off, and Wang Li walked out of the simulated cultivation environment:
"After cultivating, I'm hungry again. Let's see what to eat when I go back, and then get a good night's sleep."
"Tomorrow, I still have to get up early to run. Before I leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I'll probably be training under Qin Ming. When will this running ever end? Perhaps I should apply to smash rocks and jump off waterfalls; only then can I achieve the training effect."
...
Four days later, that morning, Wang Li arrived at the sports field as usual.
Other students arrived one after another. Because Wang Li had shown his strong strength in his spars with them during this period, these students were also quite friendly to him.
It wasn't until Dugu Yan arrived that Wang Li noticed her low Spirits, as if something bad had happened:
"Yan Yan Jie, what's wrong with you?"
Dugu Yan looked up, forcing a smile, and said something with an unclear meaning:
"Xiao Li, it's going to rain!"
Wang Li was stunned for a moment, then he carefully sensed. The air was very humid, giving a cool and refreshing feeling, or rather... a cold and bone-chilling feeling.
