Chapter 3: Bibi Dong's Bullying, Yun Yuan's Terrifying Comprehension
"Don't worry, Teacher."
"I'll definitely get along well with my junior brother from now on."
Bibi Dong patted her chest confidently and assured Qian Xunji.
As for her junior brother, Bibi Dong was quite satisfied. Yun Yuan looked very handsome and pleasing to the eye.
At her young age, she naturally didn't understand what love was. She only knew that, as the senior sister, she had to take good care of this good-looking junior brother.
This was her responsibility as a senior sister.
"Mm, then the teacher can rest assured. Tomorrow, remember to bring your junior brother to my place on time to study, understand?"
"Don't pass your bad habits onto your junior brother, or I won't spare you."
Hearing Bibi Dong's assurance, Qian Xunji nodded. Then, as if recalling her lack of diligence in soul master knowledge, he put on a stern face and reminded her seriously.
Ever since taking Bibi Dong as a disciple, everything about her satisfied him except for one thing: she wasn't very enthusiastic about studying.
Every time, he had to force her to learn. This was his only headache.
"Got it, Teacher."
Bibi Dong stuck out her tongue, a playful smile appearing on her face. It wasn't that she disliked studying.
It was just that she felt those soul master theories were nowhere near as important as improving her soul power rank. As long as she was strong enough, that was all that mattered.
After giving his instructions, Qian Xunji left Yun Yuan's palace and began handling the affairs of the Pope.
At present, he is a complete workaholic. He wanted to lead Spirit Hall to its peak, but he knew that with his own talent, it wasn't enough.
Thus, he had previously taken Bibi Dong as his disciple, intending to nurture her well so she could lead Spirit Hall to even greater heights.
But he hadn't expected that among the orphans of Spirit Hall, there would also be such an unparalleled genius. This made Qian Xunji even more motivated.
With Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong around, how could Spirit Hall fail to prosper?
After Qian Xunji left, Bibi Dong moved closer to Yun Yuan, her black eyes carefully observing him.
The next moment, her soft little hands lifted up and directly pinched Yun Yuan's slightly chubby cheeks, applying a bit of force as she tugged at them.
"Junior Brother, you're so fun to play with."
With Yun Yuan around, Bibi Dong felt she would never be lonely again. Her daily life finally had a playmate.
Before Yun Yuan was taken in as a disciple by Qian Xunji, her life consisted of studying and cultivating. Most importantly, she did everything alone and had no one to talk to.
Although Teacher Qian Xunji devoted himself to her, it was all about cultivation and study. He rarely chatted with her casually.
But she understood—after all, her teacher was the Pope and had many affairs to handle every day.
Now, things were different. With this genius junior brother, she no longer had to worry about being lonely.
"Senior Sister, don't pinch my cheeks. It's very uncomfortable."
Feeling his cheeks being squeezed, Yun Yuan tried to pry Bibi Dong's hands away while persuading her.
Yun Yuan felt that his future days might be quite miserable, having such a lively and mischievous senior sister.
After Yun Yuan managed to free himself, Bibi Dong puffed her cheeks, clearly a little unhappy.
"Junior Brother, you can't be like that. You should obediently follow Senior Sister, understand?"
Bibi Dong put her hands on her hips, trying hard to look fierce as she spoke, attempting to establish her authority as the senior sister.
"No, Senior Sister. You're bullying me. How can I not resist?"
Facing Bibi Dong's pressure, Yun Yuan naturally refused decisively.
If he agreed today, Bibi Dong would definitely pinch his cheeks often in the future. How could he possibly endure that?
"Fine then."
Seeing Yun Yuan resist so strongly, Bibi Dong temporarily gave up on the idea.
Then, she directly took Yun Yuan's hand.
"Junior Brother, you've just arrived. The Senior Sister will take you around to see the scenery near the Pope's Palace. Come with me."
…
The next morning.
Bibi Dong brought Yun Yuan to the hall where Qian Xunji was giving her lessons.
"Teacher, I've brought Junior Brother."
As soon as she entered the hall, Bibi Dong called out. Her crisp, pleasant, yet childish voice echoed throughout the room.
"Mm, Dong'er, Xiao Yuan, come here."
Seeing Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong arrive, Qian Xunji instructed them to sit in their respective places.
"Today, I'll first teach Xiao Yuan about the meditation method. Dong'er, you've already learned it, so sit to the side and listen. The higher your mastery of the meditation method, the faster your cultivation speed during meditation."
"You two must understand this principle. Every step in a soul master's cultivation is crucial."
"The meditation method, acquiring soul rings, and combat experience are especially important. I will personally teach you both these aspects."
"As for theoretical knowledge of the soul master world, I will have a theoretical master instruct you. You must not slack off on the path of soul master cultivation."
Listening to Qian Xunji's teachings, Yun Yuan nodded very seriously.
Although he was a genius with innate full soul power and had awakened the super martial soul Atlas Spear, he was not arrogant in the slightest.
The resources of this era were far inferior to those of twenty thousand years later.
Methods for condensing soul cores, obtaining soul spirits, and the Spirit Ascension Platform…
These things had not yet appeared in this era.
Therefore, even if Yun Yuan believed his talent did not lose to that Atlas Douluo from twenty thousand years later, it would be very difficult for him to reach the same achievements at the same age.
Breaking through to Titled Douluo at the age of twenty-three in this era, without any cheats and relying solely on talent, was extremely difficult.
Seeing Yun Yuan's serious expression, Qian Xunji smiled in satisfaction. His newly accepted disciple was indeed worry-free.
Then, he began personally teaching Yun Yuan the meditation method.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, the meditation method he taught was among the most top-tier on the Douluo Continent.
A soul master's cultivation depends on two things: talent and resources.
Different levels of meditation methods can increase cultivation speed to varying degrees.
Even among soul masters with the same talent, using different meditation methods would result in different cultivation speeds.
For top geniuses, time is something to race against. As the saying goes, once you're a step ahead, every step ahead follows.
After half an hour of Qian Xunji's instruction, Yun Yuan was already able to use the meditation method to begin cultivating, drawing in soul power from the surroundings.
Seeing Yun Yuan's talent, Qian Xunji was slightly surprised. Back then, it had taken him several hours to learn this meditation method.
Even Bibi Dong, who had innate full soul power, twin martial souls, and greater comprehension, had taken nearly an hour.
But Yun Yuan only needed half an hour to learn it. His comprehension was nearly twice that of Bibi Dong and several times that of Qian Xunji.
