Capítulo 16: Advanced Soul Tempering Guide.

Long Yuan awoke with anticipation, eager to start his day at the Spirit Academy. He made his way to the classroom, where he was informed that there would be a soul power and spiritual power test before classes commenced. As he reached the 5th floor, he noticed that most of his classmates had already gathered there.

Walking patiently toward his peers, Long Yuan joined them, and after a short roll call, they were guided to a room labeled as the Soul Power Test Center. Although Long Yuan possessed a remarkable soul power at level 8, he remained unconcerned about the upcoming test.

Each student underwent individual testing for their soul power, and Long Yuan couldn't help but notice a few exceptional individuals with innate full soul power. However, he wasn't surprised, considering that the Spirit Pagoda had created this Academy and would undoubtedly be aware of such talented individuals.

Amidst the testing, Long Yuan's surprise peaked when he discovered that Xiao, a classmate, had the lowest soul power in their class, measured at level 6. Faint murmurs throughout the room began ridiculing Xiao, belittling him for his apparent weakness. Unwilling to tolerate this mockery, Long Yuan stared intently at the gossiping students, causing them to halt their spiteful remarks.

Soon after the soul power test, the students proceeded to the Spirit Power Test Center. Wong Wei, their instructor, informed them that they could return to these centers regularly to test their spirit and soul powers if they desired.

Shortly after their arrival at the Testing Center, it was Long Yuan's turn to be summoned. He was instructed to wear a helmet that would measure his spirit power. The device sprang into action, presenting an unfathomable scene before everyone present. Long Yuan possessed a spirit power of 97—an extraordinary feat for a six-year-old, reaching the peak of the Spirit Origin Realm. The room erupted in a mixture of awe and astonishment, forcing Wong Wei, their teacher in charge, to step in and restore order.

"Long Yuan, Spirit Power of 97. Now, the next person, step forward," Wong Wei calmly announced, though his inner thoughts buzzed with excitement. "This child is so close to the Spirit Connection Realm. I must notify Elder Su about this," he contemplated silently.

Following Long Yuan's astonishing display of spirit power, other students with exceptional talent in spiritual power also underwent testing. Among them, Long Yuan's attention was drawn to a girl with long white hair and big blue eyes. He had been observing her since the Soul Power Test, where he discovered she possessed innate full soul power. Curiosity swelled within Long Yuan, eager to learn about her spirit power.

"Fei Ya, step forward. It's your turn next," Wong Wei instructed, diverting Long Yuan's focus.

The girl walked up to the machine and donned the measuring helmet. Soon, her spirit power was revealed—65. While another display of remarkable talent, the reaction this time was more subdued. It seemed the students had grown accustomed to being surrounded by exceptional individuals, as several others had already measured spirit powers within the range of 50-55.

With the completion of the Spirit Power Test, they returned to their classroom. Wong Wei stood before the class, ready to address them.

"Young Elites, you may have already noticed the talented individuals among you. You are indeed worthy of being called the Elites of the Spirit Pagoda," Wong Wei began, his pride in the Spirit Pagoda evident. "I will now provide each of you with Spirit Pagoda's exclusive cultivation technique, which efficiently trains both soul power and spirit power simultaneously. Utilizing such a technique at your tender age will facilitate breakthroughs more easily."

Wong Wei explained that they would have two hours to assess the technique before commencing their practice. He assured them that he would guide them through the process that day, emphasizing the importance of remembering each step.

The entire class nodded in acknowledgment, receiving a book labeled "Advanced Soul Tempering Guide." The initial pages of the book described how several titled Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda had collaborated to create this cultivation manual. It delved into detail about sensing soul power and how to manipulate it throughout the body. Long Yuan marveled at the profoundness of the manual, diligently absorbing all the knowledge it offered.

The two hours swiftly passed, and Wong Wei led the students to an open hall near the classroom, instructing them to sit cross-legged. Other soul masters were also present to assist in teaching the students how to cultivate. They commenced by teaching the students how to sense their soul power. While most of the students grasped the concept easily, Xiao struggled initially. However, with further guidance from the teachers, Xiao eventually managed to sense his soul power successfully.

Next, the teachers circulated among the students, guiding them to memorize and replicate the feeling of their soul power. This exercise aimed to enhance their connection with their own power.

After this brief learning session, they were sent back to their rooms, instructed to cultivate for the remainder of the day. Long Yuan eagerly embraced this opportunity to deepen his cultivation, immersing himself in the practice and harnessing the knowledge gained from the Advanced Soul Tempering Guide. With each moment dedicated to refining his spirit power and soul power, Long Yuan embarked on a path that promised growth and mastery.
