Chapter 66: Meditation Technique, First Encounter with the Golden Generation
In the courtyard.
Zhu Zhuqing was practicing a simplified version of Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, which Bai Lu had replicated.
"Yo, so you're the little disciple Big Brother found for us?"
Suddenly, a youthful, almost childlike, voice echoed from the courtyard gate.
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head and saw a white-haired young man walking in. However, she could sense an extremely terrifying aura emanating from him.
"You are…?"
She asked uncertainly.
The white-haired youth smiled brightly.
"This old man is the Fifth Worship of Spirit Hall—Guang Ling."
"Greetings, Teacher Guang Ling!"
Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly bowed.
"Great talent, hardworking, and quite good-looking too. I'm very satisfied with this disciple of mine!"
Guang Ling's eyes were full of praise.
"The whale rubber body-tempering method you mentioned is extremely practical. Perhaps it won't be long before it produces the first genius in the world with a thousand-year second soul ring."
He paused before continuing.
"The Elder Palace has already passed a resolution recognizing your identity as a secret disciple."
"However, the things you requested will take time to find."
He casually took out a basket of whale rubber from his soul tool and placed it on the ground.
"These high-quality ten-thousand-year whale rubber pieces are for you to use first."
"If you need anything, just tell the attendants."
"Thank you, Teacher Guang Ling."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the basket of whale rubber, which emitted a faint golden glow, feeling somewhat complicated.
Why did this whale rubber arrive so late?
If it had come a few days earlier, she wouldn't have to be so embarrassed…
"Today, I'll guide your cultivation."
Guang Ling sat down on a stone stool.
"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask."
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment and, following Bai Lu's instructions, asked:
"Teacher, I'd like to know whether Spirit Hall has any powerful meditation techniques that could be taught to me."
"Meditation techniques?"
Guang Ling Douluo raised an eyebrow.
"We do have some accumulated over the years. I'll give you mine. Study it and see whether it suits you."
He casually took out a booklet titled "Light Meditation Technique" and handed it to her.
It used light to nurture soul power. Not only did it accelerate cultivation speed beyond that of ordinary meditation techniques, but it could also enhance spiritual power.
"If it doesn't suit you, I'll ask Second Brother and the others next time."
Guang Ling smiled.
"Their meditation techniques lean more toward strength. They might suit you better."
"Thank you very much, Teacher Guang Ling!"
Zhu Zhuqing expressed her sincere gratitude.
After Guang Ling left, Zhu Zhuqing immediately shared the meditation technique with Bai Lu.
…
Spiritual Sea
Bai Lu studied Glowing Feather Douluo's meditation technique and compared it with the Zhu family's inherited meditation method.
He eventually reached a conclusion.
"No wonder a single Mysterious Heaven Skill could become a technique even God Kings use."
These people's meditation techniques were essentially variations of the same foundation.
Compared with the meditation methods ordinary people comprehended themselves, there was indeed a difference, but it wasn't actually that large.
By adding a small extra effect in certain aspects, it could already be called a top-tier meditation technique.
For example, the Zhu family meditation technique could increase speed, while the Light Meditation Technique enhanced spiritual power.
"Well, forget it."
Bai Lu sighed.
"I'll continue improving the White Tiger Slaughter Art myself."
"It tempers soul power, spiritual power, and the body through killing intent, willpower, and soul power—while also nurturing killing intent itself."
"The heavier your killing intent and the stronger your will, the faster your cultivation."
"This is the path most suitable for you."
"Mm!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and continued cultivating seriously.
…
Two days later, at Spirit Hall Academy.
Glowing Feather Douluo personally escorted Zhu Zhuqing there.
"From now on, you'll study here for a while."
"Young people constantly training alone all day isn't good for growth."
"Feel the learning atmosphere here and interact with other young people."
"As for the courses…"
Glowing Feather Douluo waved his hand casually.
"With your ability, just listen casually. If you don't understand something, come ask your other teachers or me anytime."
"Understood, Teacher!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
"Hey, you there. Go arrange things for Xiao Qing."
Glowing Feather Douluo called out casually before turning and leaving.
"Yes, sir!"
The grade director didn't dare ask more questions and directly took Zhu Zhuqing to the advanced class.
Inside the classroom, more than twenty students sat, all around eighteen or nineteen years old.
Among them were several particularly outstanding figures—
A burly red-haired youth, a proud-looking black-haired youth, and a brown-haired woman with an alluring, enchanting aura.
Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena.
The future Golden Generation of Spirit Hall.
"This is a talented young girl who has come to study in the advanced class."
The grade director gestured for the teacher and introduced her.
"If she has any questions, take extra care of her."
"If she doesn't, just leave her be and let her do as she likes."
The teacher on the podium was an elderly man in his sixties, with a stern face and sharp eyes.
On the way here, Zhu Zhuqing had already learned about him from the director.
His name was Sa De, formerly a Cardinal.
Because of his rigid personality and stubborn temper, he had messed up many matters and offended many people. Later, he was transferred here to teach students.
Essentially, it allowed students to study seriously while experiencing the harshness of society in advance.
"There will be no special treatment."
Sa De snorted coldly.
"My students are all treated equally."
The grade director shook his head helplessly and left.
"Introduce yourself."
Sa De looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down.
She was quite pretty, but entering the advanced class at such a young age—clearly a privileged connection.
He had seen plenty of students like that.
He wasn't afraid of them.
"Zhu Zhuqing. Martial soul: Hell Spirit Cat."
Her voice was cold and succinct.
"Find a seat."
Sa De waved impatiently.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and walked toward an empty seat in the back.
With each step she took, everyone in the classroom turned their heads.
Almost all the boys' eyes immediately fixed on her.
That perfect body proportion, that cold temperament, that delicate face—she looked like a moving painting.
"Slurp… th-this… she's so beautiful."
Yan swallowed involuntarily.
In terms of charm, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't as overwhelmingly seductive as Hu Liena, the "fox spirit."
But her even more perfect appearance and figure made it impossible for people to stop feeling excited.
"Oh? If she's beautiful, why don't you go chase her?"
A soft, enchanting voice sounded.
"Of course I—no!"
Yan subconsciously started to nod, then immediately corrected himself.
"Nana, you know me. I only have eyes for you!"
"Hmph. Men."
Hu Liena snorted and rolled her eyes.
"If you're not going,"
"I'll give it a try."
The usually cold and proud Xie Yue suddenly spoke.
Hu Liena was beautiful, but she was still his biological younger sister. His bloodline naturally gave him immunity to her charm.
But this girl in front of him… was different.
"Hello, I'm Xie Yue."
He quietly approached and tried to start a conversation.
"Hello."
Zhu Zhuqing replied calmly.
Her gaze never lingered on his face.
In fact, she paid no attention to the gazes around her at all.
"Alright! Focus! If you want to chat, do it after class!"
On the podium, Sa De slapped the desk and continued the lecture.
Today's class was "Martial Soul and Soul Ring Compatibility Theory."
It explained the nature of martial souls, how to choose appropriate soul rings, and the principles of soul ring compatibility.
Zhu Zhuqing flipped through the book quickly, listened for a moment, then lowered her head.
She had absolutely no need to study these things.
With Bai Lu inside her mind and seven teachers outside guiding her, how could she possibly not know how to choose soul rings?
So she decisively closed her eyes and began cultivating the White Tiger Slaughter Art.
Her spiritual power slowly circulated.
Within the Slaughter Space, the unread spirits let out faint wails.
Threads of killing intent gradually merged into her soul power, tempering it bit by bit.
"Tap!"
Suddenly, a piece of chalk struck her head, interrupting her cultivation.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, a flash of red light passing through them.
When she looked up—
Her gaze met Sa De's directly.
