After Gu Xuan and Yu Tianheng recovered their soul power, they immediately threw themselves into training. As a genius, Gu Xuan's adaptability was naturally beyond question.
Spending half an hour to restore his soul power, Gu Xuan joined the Emperor Team's training session for the day. There was no warm welcome, as one might imagine, but there was plenty of intense Soul Battle practice.
This was Qin Ming's teaching style. When it was time to be serious, he would never waste a second on trivial matters, as he also gave them ample time to relax.
During the session, Qin Ming mentioned, "You don't need to go to the Great Spirit Arena tonight. Use the time to get familiar with Gu Xuan."
He then turned to Gu Xuan and said, "The same goes for you, Gu Xuan. Integrate with them as soon as possible. From now on, you are one team, sharing both glory and disgrace."
"Understood!"
After those brief words, Gu Xuan joined the training.
The members of the Emperor Team had already learned most of their theoretical knowledge, so their morning sessions had been converted into practical combat classes.
During this time, Qin Ming asked Gu Xuan how his theoretical studies were progressing, and Gu Xuan naturally replied that there were no issues.
Qin Ming did not press further on the matter. Generally, students with backgrounds like Gu Xuan's received extensive tutoring at home, so he didn't feel the need to ask too many questions.
He wasn't worried about Gu Xuan lying, either. Such things were easily exposed, and since Gu Xuan wasn't a fool, he wouldn't lie about something so trivial.
However, because it was Gu Xuan's first day, much of the practical content focused on him becoming familiar with the others' soul skills to facilitate better coordination in the future.
Gu Xuan likewise introduced the effects of his own soul skills to the rest of the group.
While a soul skill is usually a soul master's greatest secret—something one would never easily tell others—since they were classmates in the same squad and would eventually be close teammates who trusted each other with their backs, it didn't matter.
When they learned that Gu Xuan's first soul skill was actually an all-attribute boost, even Qin Ming gasped in admiration, followed by uncontrollable envy.
It was no wonder Gu Xuan could defeat the Rank 37 Yu Tianheng with only Rank 33 soul power. His first soul skill provided a 20% all-attribute boost; it would be strange if he weren't powerful.
Combined with Gu Xuan's own deep foundation, defeating Yu Tianheng was perfectly logical.
It was for this reason that they envied Gu Xuan for obtaining such a top-tier soul skill.
And when they learned that Gu Xuan's first soul skill could actually grow stronger as his overall strength improved, it wasn't just envy anymore; the entire group became downright jealous. They scrambled to ask Gu Xuan exactly what kind of soul beast he had hunted to obtain such a premium skill.
Gu Xuan did not hide it. His first soul ring came from a 600-year-old Golden Armored Dragon, a true dragon-level soul beast and an exceptional ring.
Just like his second soul ring from the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, both originated from overlords among soul beasts.
In fact, all three of Gu Xuan's rings came from top-tier soul beasts, which was the primary reason his foundation was so powerful.
While daily training was one part of it, the choice of soul rings provided the greatest boost to a soul master's potential.
When they realized Gu Xuan's first ring was taken from a 600-year-old soul beast, everyone was stunned once again. Wasn't this limit-surpassing soul ring absorption?
Could a soul master really absorb a ring beyond the limit? Why hadn't his body exploded?
Yu Tianheng was especially affected. His uncle, Yu Xiaogang, was the proposer of the "Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies" theory, so he was most familiar with the concept of soul ring limits.
The limit for the first soul ring was 423 years, yet Gu Xuan's first ring had reached 600 years. How was that possible? Yu Tianheng didn't suspect Gu Xuan of lying, as the boy's strength had already proven everything.
For the first time, Yu Tianheng began to doubt whether his uncle's theories were entirely correct, especially with Gu Xuan—a living example of limit-surpassing absorption—standing right there.
As if to dispel Yu Tianheng's remaining doubts, Gu Xuan said directly, "My third soul ring reached 3,000 years."
"What?!"
"3,000 years?! A ring of that level would be sufficient even as a soul master's fourth ring, wouldn't it?" Not just Yu Tianheng and the others, but even Qin Ming looked like he had never seen the world, crying out in shock.
Regarding the method for limit-surpassing soul ring absorption, Gu Xuan had no intention of hiding it from them. Although it was only their first meeting, in his heart, these people were his future left and right hands.
By winning them over, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would have powerful allies in the future.
Take Yu Tianheng, for example. If Gu Xuan motivated him now to develop better than he did in the original story, Yu Tianheng would eventually become the direct heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. With their personal relationship, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would truly become as close as brothers.
Wouldn't that be the best alliance to counter Spirit Hall?
Therefore, Gu Xuan did not plan to withhold his knowledge. He even intended to encourage them to purchase Whale Glue to assist their cultivation. They were all Soul Elders; while they might not achieve 10,000-year rings yet, a limit-surpassing fourth ring was certainly possible.
Even if it was just one limit-surpassing ring, their foundation would be a cut above everyone else's.
This was Gu Xuan's goal.
Of course, another objective was to capture Dugu Yan's attention. For instance, if Dugu Yan didn't know how to use Whale Glue, Gu Xuan could teach her "hand-in-hand." Or if there were other training programs, Gu Xuan could lead them and give Dugu Yan special attention...
Making a girl fall in love wasn't difficult for someone like him. As long as you made her feel special in your heart, and as long as she didn't dislike you, once her favorable impression grew, everything would happen naturally.
Thus, Gu Xuan explained directly to everyone, "I know you are surprised and confused, but hold your amazement for a moment. From now on, we are teammates eating at the same table. I naturally won't hide anything from you. Listen to me explain it slowly."
As soon as he said this, Qin Ming stopped their training and proactively pulled up a stool to "listen to the lecture."
Indeed, Qin Ming also desperately wanted to know the reason. In fact, he was the one among them with the most regret.
This was because his fifth soul ring was only 9,500 years old. While this was not a low age—falling just short of 10,000 years and being higher than the fifth rings of most soul masters—there was a qualitative difference between a thousand-year ring and a ten-thousand-year ring.
Had his fifth ring been a ten-thousand-year ring, his current achievement would definitely be higher than Rank 61.
So upon hearing that Gu Xuan had successfully absorbed soul rings beyond the limits, his heart began to burn with excitement. Now that Gu Xuan was willing to share the secret, he was undoubtedly the most thrilled person there.
Since his fifth ring's age was low, he would make up for it with his seventh and eighth rings!
