Chapter 24: Soul Power Expansion

"So Infuriating!"

"How dare he look down on Xiao Gang? Doesn't even want to meet with him? That kind of dismissive attitude… If he's not really talented, I'll make him taste the power of my fist!"

After leaving the villa area, Liu Erlong angrily stomped toward the woods.

Yin Shu followed behind, gritted her teeth, and chased after her.

Yin Shu blocked Liu Erlong's path, her expression serious. "Dean, I need to talk to you."

"Talk about what?" Liu Erlong asked impatiently.

"About Teacher Zhou's arrangement. I think I must discuss it with you." Yin Shu took a deep breath and stared at Liu Erlong.

Earlier, in the villa, Liu Erlong's attitude toward Zhou Sheng'an had been too rude! If this wasn't corrected, and Zhou Sheng'an left Blue Tyrant Academy, it would be an enormous loss!

The academy wasn't just Liu Erlong's—it was the hard work of all the teachers and students.

Liu Erlong frowned and coldly replied, "Haven't I been accommodating enough? I've been very considerate of his feelings. The soul power expansion theory… You saw it, right? Such a ridiculous thing! Who knows if it will cause danger to the students?"

"But I still let him do it. What more do you want me to do?"

"Yin Shu, you were promoted by me—do you want to go against me now?"

Liu Erlong glared at Yin Shu fiercely.

Yin Shu clenched her fists, still staring at Liu Erlong, and said, "Even though the soul power expansion theory is absurd, you know that Teacher Zhou's talent is unparalleled!"

"You should also understand what it would mean for him to stay at Blue Tyrant Academy."

"You can't treat Teacher Zhou badly because of some inexplicable emotions. If he leaves, it will be such a great loss!"

"I was promoted by you, so I'm even more responsible for the academy!"

Yin Shu spoke with great conviction. With Zhou Sheng'an's martial soul replenishment theory, anyone with a brain could tell that this talent should be cherished.

Now, Blue Tyrant Academy had gained such a treasure, but Liu Erlong still gave him attitude? It was simply unreasonable!

Liu Erlong's chest heaved with anger as she stared at Yin Shu, her almond eyes almost spitting fire.

"Fine, fine, fine! You're teaching me now? Alright, I'll listen to you! Let's see what kind of trouble that soul power expansion theory will cause if it's not controlled properly!"

"Xiao Gang already told me about this. A soul power theory, if not repeatedly refined, could easily lead to disastrous consequences! Just watch Zhou Sheng'an closely!"

"Then you'll understand my intentions!"

Liu Erlong gave Yin Shu a fierce glare before turning and storming off.

She was about to explode from anger!

No matter how capable Zhou Sheng'an was, could he be smarter than Xiao Gang?

Xiao Gang had specifically warned her that any theory applied to practice should be cautious!

But she had only asked Zhou Sheng'an to test it with a few students, and now Yin Shu was blaming her? This was completely unreasonable!

...

The next day, Zhou Sheng'an gave another public lesson and selected three other test students: Tai Long, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling, all top students from Blue Tyrant Academy.

This time, Liu Erlong didn't attend the lecture, and after class, Yin Shu specifically apologized for Liu Erlong's attitude the previous day.

Zhou Sheng'an didn't take it to heart. After chatting for a bit, he took the four students and left.

They went to a private classroom.

Because it involved soul power training, which was confidential, the doors and windows of the classroom were closed.

The light shone on the floor, bright and solemn.

The four students stood in a row, facing Zhou Sheng'an, their expressions tense.

But in Tai Long's eyes, there was a trace of fanaticism.

Zhou Sheng'an smiled faintly. "Relax a bit. I've brought you out here to conduct an experiment. If successful, it will help increase your soul power."

"To serve my master, I'd climb a mountain of knives or walk through fire! I, Tai Long, will do anything!" Tai Long pounded his chest with a loud thud, excited.

"..."

Zhou Sheng'an's forehead twitched with veins, and he said, "Tai Long, I've already told you, don't call me that. Just call me Teacher Zhou."

"Got it!" Tai Long immediately responded.

Zhou Sheng'an helplessly shook his head, ignoring the overly enthusiastic Tai Long. He briefly explained the soul power expansion theory.

"…In short, this time, I'll guide you and help you establish your soul cores. Hopefully, we'll see immediate results. Calm your minds. Next, I'll guide each of you one by one."

After Zhou Sheng'an finished speaking, the faces of the four students were filled with shock.

Soul power expansion…

In their, or rather, the soul master world's understanding, soul power could only increase when their rank improved!

But now, Zhou Sheng'an was showing them a completely new direction—this shattered their worldview!

Huang Yuan scratched his face, almost pulling his hair out. His face turned red as he excitedly said, "Teacher Zhou, do you mean… we can make our soul power much higher than it is now?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Tai Long rolled his eyes.

Huang Yuan felt awkward, stammering, "I… I just can't believe it."

"My teacher… since you said it, it must be possible! You three are getting a huge bargain! You'll be waking up laughing in your dreams!" Tai Long smirked, saying.

Jiang Zhu hesitated and weakly asked, "Teacher Zhou, will the soul power expansion affect our bodies?"

Zhou Sheng'an shook his head with a smile. "Of course not."

"Let me show you." As Zhou Sheng'an finished speaking, blue-green flames erupted from his body, showing his soul power bursting forth. The soul power he released formed a gust of wind.

The four students took two steps back, the wind blowing their hair and clothes.

Tai Long immediately cheered, loudly saying, "Teacher's soul power already exceeds that of my Soul King father! Teacher, you're amazing! You're probably even stronger than a Soul Emperor!"

Jiang Zhu and the other three students nodded repeatedly. Without even looking at Zhou Sheng'an's three soul rings, they would have thought he was a Soul Emperor!

But when they saw Zhou Sheng'an's three soul rings, there was no contempt in their eyes, only shock.

Yellow! Purple! Purple!

This soul ring configuration was too impressive!

Zhou Sheng'an didn't let them marvel for long, retracting his soul power. "Tai Long, you go first."

"Okay, teacher! Please use my body!" Tai Long said, pulling up his shirt.

"Wait!!! Don't take off your clothes. Just sit cross-legged and meditate." Zhou Sheng'an quickly stopped him, looking speechless.

Tai Long awkwardly laughed and immediately sat down.

Zhou Sheng'an pressed Tai Long's head and said in a deep voice, "My soul power will enter your body. Don't resist, follow my soul power's guidance, and do as I instruct…"

Zhou Sheng'an began to guide Tai Long.

Jiang Zhu and the other three students watched anxiously, full of anticipation.

Fifteen minutes later, Tai Long's soul power began to surge...
