"What's wrong with the master?"
Ye Feng still passed on to the other party some techniques to enhance the body's essence, such as the Chaotic Diamond Scripture.
These techniques are one of the most fundamental elements for a Soul Master!
Just like the foundation of a house.
Of course, the most critical point is that these techniques do not consume Soul Power and can yield unexpected results in close-quarters combat!
Up until now, the training had also been quite satisfactory.
But at this moment, Ye Feng suddenly stopped, leaving Zhu Qing somewhat puzzled.
What is the master doing?
Did I just do something wrong?
"Zhu Qing, are you preparing to advance to level 55?"
After some guidance, Ye Feng could sense the flow of Soul Power within Zhu Qing's body.
He found that she was actually preparing to advance to level 55.
This surprised him.
At the time of advancing to Soul King, Zhu Qing was one of the slowest.
Unexpectedly, she was now about to surpass Dugu Yan by advancing to level 55 first.
She truly had been wasted by Yu Xiaogang's teachings.
Luckily, she left Shrek Academy fairly soon.
Otherwise, her potential would have remained buried.
"Mmm, yes, I'm just a bit away from advancing to level 55."
Upon hearing that her master was referring to this, Zhu Qing let out a sigh of relief and then nodded slightly.
There was nothing she had to hide from her teacher.
However, she was somewhat surprised that after only a few exchanges with her, the master could discern so much.
It truly was incredible.
Indeed, such is the master!
I am truly fortunate.
Leaving Shrek Academy was indeed the best decision I ever made.
Based on what she knows now.
Shrek Academy often has internal conflicts.
The only ones he knows of that are somewhat stronger now are Tang San and Dai Mubai.
It seems that the latter had become a Soul Emperor-level powerhouse.
As for Xiaowu, who used to be stronger than her, she has just broken through to the Soul King level.
Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, and the others are also Soul Kings.
Alas, normally speaking, this group's talents are above mine.
It's a pity they were in the wrong environment and followed the wrong person, leading to the current situation.
"Then tonight, take the chance to directly advance to level 55!"
Ye Feng looked at Zhu Qing.
He was still capable of assisting her in advancing.
"Master, do you mean by taking an elixir? But my body has already developed a certain degree of tolerance, requiring more elixirs to work. Let's wait until the finals, if I really cannot advance, then I'll use medicine."
Zhu Qing was somewhat helpless.
What used to be achieved with one elixir now required two.
This was a common issue for Soul Masters who relied on elixirs for cultivation.
She thought she would first cultivate on her own.
If she really couldn't make it by then, she would use elixirs to advance.
She was also aware that the continent's grand competition for advanced Soul Masters was filled with experts.
Especially the seed players from the Martial Soul Hall, they were incredibly powerful!
"Elixirs? You don't need that stuff to advance now!"
Ye Feng said.
Zhu Qing wasn't like Old Poison; how could she possibly need elixirs!
"If not with elixirs, then how am I to advance??"
Upon hearing this statement, Zhu Qing's eyes sparked with astonishment.
How could one advance overnight without elixirs?
This left her somewhat bewildered.
She looked at her master, full of curiosity.
"Yes, long-term usage of elixirs can indeed quickly improve one's level, but actual combat ability also weakens correspondingly. The most critical issue is that Soul Power and combat strength become mismatched, leading to 'hollow strength.'
Ye Feng began to explain.
"Mmm, so, master, you're planning to...?"
Zhu Qing, who very much agreed, nodded her head.
Soul Masters who relied on elixirs to level up often found themselves in awkward situations because their combat experience and Soul Power didn't match. For example, even though you're a level 53 Soul King, sometimes you might be defeated by a level 51 Soul King.
Even more exaggerated is the possibility of being defeated by a level 49.
This is what's known in the Soul Master realm as 'hollow strength.'
It's not muscle, but just fat.
A brief bout of false plumpness is fine, so long as that extra flesh is later trained into muscle, thus achieving a synchronized enhancement.
But if one remains falsely plump over the long term, it becomes all flash and no substance.
She wanted to know what method her master would use tonight to enhance her abilities.
Given his tone, it seemed he planned to settle everything tonight.
Moreover, Master has always been someone who values efficiency highly.
He never delays when there's something to be done.
"You know there's a special advancement method called upgrading through battle, right?"
Ye Feng was asking Zhu Zhuqing at the moment.
"Upgrading through battle??"
Zhu Zhuqing fell into deep thought upon hearing this sentence.
"That's right. When the battle reaches a certain level of pressure, the body's balance of Soul Power will be disrupted, allowing for advancement," Ye Feng nodded.
There's a saying about being at death's door before coming back to life.
In fact, it's similar to what he just mentioned.
"I understand!"
Zhu Zhuqing now knew exactly what Ye Feng meant.
Her entire demeanor became very determined.
"So, release your Martial Soul and let me see, and also show me how much you've improved during this time!" Ye Feng said to Zhu Zhuqing at that moment.
Meanwhile, a faint aura of Soul Power emerged around him.
"Hell Spiritual Cat!!"
Zhu Zhuqing directly unleashed her Martial Soul, the Hell Spiritual Cat.
In a flash, five Soul Rings rose from her feet.
"First Soul Skill, Hell Rush!!"
Zhu Zhuqing released her first soul skill,
Suddenly, her claw extended rapidly, and its speed doubled in an instant.
This soul skill was mainly a speed-oriented piercing attack, rapidly stabbing the opponent with sharp claws.
And it was also a close-range, single-target attack soul skill.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing combined the techniques taught by Ye Feng earlier.
With this speed, even a Soul Emperor around level 60 would have a moment of anxiety.
Because it was too fast.
"Swoosh—"
Zhu Zhuqing's claws struck Ye Feng's body.
"Still a bit slow."
Ye Feng's figure swiftly dodged the incoming technique.
This soul skill might seem quite extraordinary to others.
But to him, it was somewhat lacking.
After all, his speed had already surpassed many Titled Douluo long ago.
After receiving the hundred-thousand-year soul ring, his own speed was further enhanced.
Now, Zhu Zhuqing's speed seemed like that of a snail in his eyes.
So dodging it was extremely simple for him!
"What? Second Soul Skill, Hundred Hell Claws!"
Zhu Zhuqing had not anticipated that her master would dodge her first soul skill without using any soul skills of his own.
She was quite surprised.
However, she quickly unleashed her second soul skill.
As an agile-attack class Soul Master,
Speed is of the essence!!
Zhu Zhuqing's soul skill launched, and she attacked by rapidly spinning her body and using the sharp piercing capabilities of her cat claws.
Her attack was immensely powerful!
Moreover, she could strike the same spot on the enemy hundreds of times in an extremely short period, with incredible speed.
The destructiveness was truly terrifying!
Most importantly, when Hundred Hell Claws was activated, every attack had a piercing effect. As long as it caused a wound on the opponent, even if the wound wasn't deep, Soul Power would seep in and wreak havoc on the enemy's internal meridians.
She wanted to see to what extent her own soul skill could push her master.
"Not bad, this soul skill. To stimulate the Soul Power within you, I won't dodge any of your attacks from now on; I'll meet them head-on," Ye Feng said to Zhu Zhuqing at that moment.
After all, he hadn't come simply to spar with her.
His goal was to make Zhu Zhuqing feel pressure.
So that she could breakthrough in one fell swoop!!
"Just as well, I am very much looking forward to Master's Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe!!" exclaimed Zhu Zhuqing, her fighting spirit surging.
If her master kept dodging, she wouldn't stand a chance at all.
After all, she was well aware of her master's speed.
