Capítulo 6: Chapter 6: A Teacher for a Day, a Father for Life; Entry into the Sacred Heart Art
After leaving the Zhou residence, Flender still looked as if he were dreaming. He stared at the excited Yu Xiaogang beside him, unable to comprehend.
From the moment he met Yu Xiaogang, the man had always embodied wisdom. Flender had followed Yu Xiaogang's lead in everything.
Even when Yu Xiaogang's "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls" theory was completely shattered by Zhou Yi, Flender's opinion of him hadn't changed.
He also knew that deep down, Yu Xiaogang had never fully conceded.
"Apprenticeship is a lifelong commitment. Do you think I'd make such a decision lightly?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned, his tone displeased.
He was utterly convinced of Zhou Yi's brilliance. Having taken him as his master, there was no room for duplicity.
"Alright, so what's your plan moving forward?"
Flender dropped the matter, though Zhou Yi's theory of spiritual power had also deeply impressed him.
Still, the thought of his goddess becoming Zhou Yi's woman, entirely at Zhou's beck and call, left Flender with a sour taste.
"I plan to buy a house nearby and settle down for a while. During this time, I'll study my master's spiritual power theory. Once I've grasped it, I'll go out to practice and gain experience, aiming to evolve San Pao as soon as possible!"
Yu Xiaogang patted Luo San Pao's head, a fiery determination shining in his eyes.
He was certain he would succeed.
Because Luo San Pao was a dragon!
Yes!
A dragon!
Spiritual power begins with unwavering self-belief.
Only through this could he subtly influence and transform his martial soul, Luo San Pao.
"In that case, I'll stick with you."
Flender, being alone and having no pressing matters, found no reason to train elsewhere.
Besides, he was also intrigued by the theory of spiritual power and curious to see if Yu Xiaogang could further mutate his variant martial soul.
The two purchased a house near the Zhou residence and moved in.
Yu Xiaogang took out his notebook and meticulously recorded every word Zhou Yi had said.
He also added his own thoughts, reflections, and interpretations.
Meanwhile, news of Zhou Yi's martial soul mutation—from a useless Iron Sword to the supreme Divine Dragon Sword—swept across Douluo Continent like a level-12 hurricane, with Notting City at its epicenter.
Alongside it spread the theory of spiritual power, a groundbreaking revelation that shook the entire continent.
Zhou Yi's name would soon resound throughout the world of Soul Masters.
At the Zhou Residence:
"Husband, you're amazing!"
Liu Erlong's bright eyes glowed with admiration.
She was the epitome of fiery temper and impulsiveness—a woman who acted first and thought later.
And people often sought in others what they lacked in themselves.
Thus, she was deeply enamored with and admired intelligent men.
In the original story, Yu Xiaogang won Liu Erlong's undying love because of his intellect.
But Zhou Yi's wisdom eclipsed Yu Xiaogang's by a vast margin.
Now, Liu Erlong's heart and soul belonged entirely to Zhou Yi.
At first, she'd assumed Zhou Yi's martial soul mutation was a matter of sheer luck, like those of others. But to her astonishment, it was a transformation Zhou Yi had actively guided.
Mutations based on luck were exceedingly rare—perhaps one in a million.
But active guidance?
This overturned everything she thought she knew.
Zhou Yi's strength might not be remarkable, but he was undoubtedly the most intelligent man on the entire Douluo Continent.
"And there's more to come!"
As Zhou Yi gazed at Liu Erlong, whose eyes sparkled with admiration, he felt a surge of desire.
Pulling her voluptuous figure close, he looked into her shy, beautiful eyes and said, "My martial soul's mutation owes much to you. Didn't I tell you last night? You're my lucky star!"
"Husband, you're teasing me again!"
Liu Erlong shot Zhou Yi a playful glare, clearly not believing him.
"But I'm serious!"
Zhou Yi adopted a solemn expression. "They say, 'A fine sword is forged through tempering.' Do you know why my martial soul mutated into the Divine Dragon Sword instead of a Tiger Blade or Wolf Fang Sword?"
"Why?"
Seeing his serious demeanor, Liu Erlong couldn't help but ask.
"Because my sword has slain a dragon and been bathed in dragon blood. It naturally transformed into the Divine Dragon Sword!"
"When did you ever slay a dragon?"
Liu Erlong's wide, luminous eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion.
She didn't remember him ever doing such a thing.
"I'll show you how I slay dragons right now!"
Zhou Yi scooped Liu Erlong into his arms in a bridal carry and strode toward the bedroom.
He hadn't forgotten about his system.
Children were the ultimate reward.
Zhou Yi was filled with anticipation for his first child.
To make that happen, he needed to work hard.
"It's broad daylight..."
In that moment, Liu Erlong understood everything.
She had been duped.
Slaying a dragon? Transforming his martial soul?
It was all nonsense.
She was the dragon.
Liu Erlong.
"Having children is no trivial matter. Old Mike was a lonely man, and his greatest wish before passing was for me to marry more wives and raise a big family..."
Zhou Yi laughed heartily as he carried the bashful woman into the bedroom.
He wasn't lying.
Old Mike had been the village chief of Empire Soul Village, where Zhou Yi had first awakened his martial soul after transmigrating.
Like Holy Soul Village, Empire Soul Village was small.
But it had once produced a Soul Emperor, a source of great pride.
The village's name stemmed from this legacy.
After awakening his martial soul, Zhou Yi had used his knowledge to help the village prosper.
Unfortunately, Old Mike had passed away ten years ago.
Out of respect for the man who had taken care of him, Zhou Yi was determined to fulfill his final wish.
Marriage.
Children.
And the expansion of his family's legacy.
Though helpless, Liu Erlong couldn't deny Zhou Yi anything.
That night, Zhou Yi poured his efforts into cultivation.
"Experience points +1."
"Experience points +1."
"Experience points +1."
As newlyweds, their night was one of bliss.
It could be summed up as: I seek immortality, and joy knows no bounds!
While Liu Erlong wasn't the most beautiful, her figure was unparalleled, leaving Zhou Yi utterly entranced.
Meanwhile, in the house next door, Yu Xiaogang tirelessly studied Zhou Yi's spiritual power theory, and Flender meditated on his bed, cultivating his Soul Power.
The night passed quietly.
Yu Xiaogang didn't sleep a wink, too excited by his research.
Zhou Yi, on the other hand, worked even harder, though his efforts were of a different kind.
Reviewing his system's panel, Zhou Yi realized he had only gained 360 experience points throughout the previous afternoon and night.
On his first night, he had earned nearly 700 experience points.
"It seems the first time yields the most experience, with diminishing returns thereafter."
Zhou Yi wasn't bothered.
As long as the gains didn't diminish further, he was content.
After all, the first time for anything tends to be the most valuable.
And this rate of gaining experience was still considerable.
"The Sacred Heart Art should be ready for entry-level mastery!"
Zhou Yi estimated that the art required around 1,000 experience points to master at the entry level. Without hesitation, he allocated the entire 360 points to the technique.
