Although Shrek willingly conceded, failing to achieve another victory streak, but that was Shrek.
To the students of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, Su Yu's performance was truly a moment of pride.
As a result, Su Yu gained quite a reputation within the academy.
Of course, Su Yu was elusive, rarely seen, so his fans had never really met him.
Now seeing Su Yu, each one was incredibly excited.
Bai Feng also learned about his teacher's achievements during his time at the academy, feeling amazed.
At thirteen, he had the ability to defeat Soul Kings consecutively.
Now, five years later, what level has the teacher reached?
Even last time, when Su Yu hunted a nearly five-hundred-year-old Celestial Star Sword Scale Dragon, he defeated it without revealing even a Soul Ring.
...
"Ah, are you a student of Su Yu senior? Has Su Yu senior become a teacher at the school?"
"You're a fool, Su Yu senior is only in fifth grade, he hasn't graduated yet."
"So, is this little brother a disciple of Su Yu senior?"
"Oh my, senior has started accepting disciples, while I'm still struggling with studying Level 4 Soul-guiding Devices..."
"Knock it off, don't call it wrong, we're calling him a senior, you should call him senior brother."
"That's heart-wrenching, old fellow."
"..."
Su Yu finally managed to break away from the group of fans and took Bai Feng to his workshop.
"Learning about Soul-guiding Devices requires a combination of theory and practice to understand better. This was my oversight."
Su Yu initially devoured books, grasping the theory thoroughly before attempting to make a Level 1 Soul-guiding Device, succeeding on the first try.
But this approach cannot be replicated.
Or rather, to get the best cost-performance ratio, it certainly can't be done this way.
Su Yu initially was just not convenient.
Watching the making of Soul-guiding Devices was not cheap; it took half a day of time and cost nearly a hundred Golden Soul Coins, which Su Yu thought was not worth the cost-performance ratio.
Just for a Level 1 Soul-guiding Device.
But Bai Feng was different.
Bai Feng was smart, but his talent was more inclined towards Martial Soul cultivation; he might learn the Soul-guiding Device easily but could absolutely not reach the monstrous level, and calling him a genius somewhat stemmed from his Soul Master prowess.
When a Soul Master's skills are strong, learning anything becomes relatively easier.
For example, Shrek's former Dean of the Soul Guide System, Xian Lin'er, even without focused research or innate talent, could reach the level of a Sixth-level Soul Guide after becoming a Titled Douluo.
"I'm leaving Mingdu for a while. Here's a thousand Golden Soul Coins; it should be enough for you for a month. When I return, I'll check your learning progress."
"..."
After some instructions, Su Yu demonstrated the making of a Level 1 Soul-guiding Device on the spot for Bai Feng.
His skills in Soul-guiding Devices made creating a Level 1 Soul-guiding Device effortless.
He could even extend the time between each step, freeing up time to explain to his disciple.
After the explanations, Su Yu could 'save' the making process and continue with the steps.
After one session, Bai Feng felt he had a complete understanding of the process and precautions of making Soul-guiding Devices.
Not to say that he would become a Level 1 Soul Guide within a month, but it would definitely be no problem before the freshman assessment.
"Teacher, my cultivation in Starlight Shield feels somewhat unsmooth."
Bai Feng still had high talent in Soul Master cultivation.
Some problems he raised, Su Yu could roughly judge his cultivation progress.
"Well, Starlight Shield and other Soul Martial Skills, I have many simplified versions of Rune Soul Skills. You can try cultivating them.
As for the unsmoothness, these are normal; it's meant to ease the initiation of Rune Soul Skills and integrated into the framework of human meridians."
"Xiaofeng, you need to quickly learn Starlight Shield and these Soul Martial Skills. Master the true Soul Skill release speed, then I will pass on Rune Soul Skills to you, gradually perfecting these Soul Martial Skills so their effect will gradually match those Soul Ring Soul Skills."
"Your Martial Soul is excellent, endowed with Demon Slaying Realm, which you inherently resonate with. Pay attention to sensing while cultivating; it will aid your Spiritual Power cultivation. To cultivate Rune Soul Skills, Spiritual Power is key."
Constant practice accelerates the release of Soul Martial Skills. This not only familiarizes Bai Feng with operational routes, facilitating future use in Void Inscription form but also aids in training Spiritual Power.
Su Yu's cultivation experience was rich.
In teaching Bai Feng, he avoided fancy terms and profound theories, simply telling him what to do now, the general principles, and their significance.
...
The instruction lasted for three hours.
Upon exiting the workshop, Su Yu noticed two similarly-looking youths seemingly waiting for him outside.
"Su Yu senior."
"Hmm, what brings you here?"
Among the two similarly-looking youths, the older one explained their purpose.
"Senior, I am Xiao Ping, I am from the next cohort after you. Fortunately, I was chosen for the Soul Fighting Competition team six months later, the Dean said we could ask you for guidance."
Xiao Ping was tall, with Soul King cultivation, a Fifth-level Soul Guide, and he excelled at close-range Soul-guiding Devices and studied Soul-guiding Armor.
In the current gradual perfection of Su Yu's Armor System, his research direction naturally aligned closely with the Armor System.
With his capabilities, he was selected as a participant for this Soul Fighting Competition.
The so-called request for guidance from Su Yu, as mentioned by Mirror Hongchen, was unsurprisingly regarding the Armor System.
Besides the researchers in Mingde Hall, the technology of Basic Battle Armor was initially opened to the competing team members in the tournament, and perhaps subsequently would be gradually integrated into the curriculum of the Royal Soul Guide Academy.
Unfortunately, Su Yu hadn't appeared at the academy for two or three years, traveling for such a long time, so how could Xiao Ping possibly find Su Yu.
Upon hearing Su Yu appeared at the academy today, he immediately brought his two brothers to wait here.
"This is my brother, Xiao Fan."
Briefly introducing himself and his purposes, Xiao Ping bowed.
"Senior, regarding the Armor System, I have many points I'd like to ask for guidance. Do you have the time?"
Su Yu heard they were future team members and did not refuse.
"What do you think is the most important aspect of Armor?" Su Yu asked.
"A complete core array, providing comprehensive enhancement and reinforcement for the Soul Master."
"No, the core point is the fusion with the Soul Master."
Su Yu noticed that Xiao Ping was genuinely interested in Armor, so he explained some things to him.
"Fusion with the Soul Master?"
Despite being a close-range Soul Guide, Xiao Ping held a high approval rate for Armor, yet he was still a Soul Guide, thus overlooked the true meaning of Armor.
"That's right; Armor itself is a perfect blend of Soul Guide and Soul Master abilities. The core of Armor is the fusion between Soul-guiding Device and Martial Soul, significantly enhancing various capabilities of the Soul Master."
"..."
Xiao Ping pondered thoughtfully.
Su Yu glanced at Xiao Fan beside Xiao Ping.
"Your name is Xiao Fan?"
"Yes, I'm already fourteen years old, Soul Power Level 37, Third-level Soul Guide!"
Xiao Fan took pride in his achievements, but remained humble in front of Su Yu.
"Senior, I wish to learn about Martial Soul cultivation from you."
Unlike Xiao Ping, Xiao Fan had low aptitude for Soul-guiding Devices, or rather, his interest was more focused on Soul Master cultivation.
Level 37 Soul Power, although elevated by consuming elixirs and daily herbal baths, it was all refined by him meticulously.
Su Yu could also sense that Xiao Fan's Soul Power was quite abundant, standing out in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy.
Even if so, being a Third-level Soul Guide, Xiao Fan's talent was indeed exceptional.
However...
As for disciples, Su Yu genuinely did not want to accept too many.
It takes too much energy.
"If you wish to learn Martial Soul cultivation techniques, I can teach you, but taking on disciples is out of the question."
Xiao Fan's eyes clearly dimmed considerably, looking at Bai Feng behind Su Yu, full of envy.
"The most crucial part of Martial Soul cultivation is mastering and developing your own Soul Skills. These are some of my experiences and insights; they should be useful to you."
Fourteen years old, which means this cohort is a reserve team.
A passion for Soul Master cultivation.
Five years later, perhaps a leading figure of the academy.
Considering these points, Su Yu decided to lend a helping hand to him.
