Compared to the traits, the Doctor's professional skill initially appeared quite ordinary.
[Class Skill: Adjustment (By massaging and moving muscles, it can quickly relieve human fatigue.)]
This was a technique, a simple application of soul power, with the specific operation depending on the medical knowledge mastered by the practitioner.
It hardly resembled a skill that the Class Panel typically provided.
But Zhao Liuyun believed: "There are no useless skills, only useless people."
Even a poor-quality martial soul could be saved by immortal herbs!
[Adjustment]'s ability to quickly relieve human fatigue through massage meant it could make body forging training more efficient.
Zhao Liuyun currently didn't have a suitable person to apply [Adjustment] to for training, and trying to massage himself would leave some areas unreachable...
Rather than forcing it and causing an imbalance in results, it was better not to use it at all from the start.
As long as he could find a way to apply it to himself in the future, it would definitely unleash extraordinary effects!
Zhao Liuyun didn't have any immediate ideas on how to achieve this.
But one thing was certain—
Learn it first!
To use [Adjustment] on himself, the primary requirement was an in-depth understanding of the human structure.
The path of medicine was long, arduous, and difficult.
Soul Master cultivation was also not achieved overnight.
Zhao Liuyun glanced at Tang San, who had already entered meditation, and immediately began meditating as well.
He couldn't wait to experience the effect of [Focus].
Academy life was uneventful, and Zhao Liuyun's routine wasn't disrupted by the new Class change.
Classes, reading during class, studying and treating patients at the medical hall in the afternoon, and meditating in the evening.
The public library at Nuoding Academy wasn't large, but it was impossible to finish reading all the books in it within half a year.
Even when the school was on break and Tang San and Xiao Wu returned to Holy Soul Village, Zhao Liuyun chose to stay at the academy.
He was reluctant to leave the school, and even more reluctant to leave the books in the library.
Days passed one after another like this.
The sun constantly rose and set, and Zhao Liuyun's cultivation grew steadily.
Nine months flew by, and he had been enrolled for a year and three months.
On this day, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Everyone, except Xiao Wu, was meditating.
Zhao Liuyun was no exception, and thanks to the effect of Focus, he was deeply immersed.
[You are meditating and cultivating. Despite the crude method of soul power circulation, your good control over soul power significantly increases your experience gain. [Soul Master] Professional Experience +1]
[Soul Power: Level 9 (1900/1900)]
As the last point of experience filled the experience bar for Level 9 soul power, a familiar sense of breakthrough appeared again.
The energy within his body boiled for an instant, and uncontrollable soul power fluctuations surged on his body surface.
This power wasn't strong, but it was enough to startle Tang San, who was meditating nearby, out of his concentration.
He looked at the radiant Zhao Liuyun in the moonlight with surprise, his voice carrying a hint of disbelief: "You broke through?"
It only took him just over a year to break through to Level 10. This cultivation speed left Wang Sheng, who had already graduated, far behind.
"Yes, I finally broke through," Zhao Liuyun exclaimed with emotion.
The time to hunt for a soul ring and decide his future path had arrived.
[Soul Power: Level 10 (0/2000)]
Nine months ago, he had leveled up to Level 7, and after gaining [Focus], his cultivation speed increased by 1.5 times.
It then took him three months to break through to Level 8, another three months to break through to Level 9, and now to Level 10.
Purely relying on hard cultivation, he was indeed still a little short.
Normally, it would take four months to break through from Level 8 (0/1800) to Level 9 (0/1900), and a little over four months from Level 9 to Level 10.
But he still had the panel.
Zhao Liuyun tried adding experience, using 1096 points of General Experience to speed up the process.
[General Experience: 4917]
Perhaps because his level was still low, or because of the gradual, step-by-step increase every day, the growth in soul power wasn't overtly noticeable, and he didn't feel any drastic changes.
"You cultivate really fast," Tang San whispered, his eyes full of admiration.
As a work-study student living in the large dormitory, Zhao Liuyun meditated every night, so Tang San naturally knew his progress.
Precisely because of this, it was all the more astonishing.
Tang San and Xiao Wu both had innate maximum soul power, yet they only increased by 3 levels in a year.
Zhao Liuyun was already catching up to them.
But it was only admiration; there was no suspicion.
This was merely the Soul Scholar stage.
Zhao Liuyun's diligent study during the day and intense meditation at night were seen by everyone; his hard work was evident to all.
They had heard him share the reason for his rapid progress in cultivation—
Focus!
As long as one could concentrate their mind, gather their soul power, increase its density, and maintain absolute concentration throughout the process of circulating soul power, the efficiency of meditation could increase exponentially.
This was not a lie, as the effect of [Focus] was precisely this.
If one could achieve it, anyone could cultivate extremely fast.
However, constantly maintaining soul power density was very taxing on the mind.
Zhao Liuyun had the buff of [Focus], so he didn't need to exert himself to maintain it.
But Tang San couldn't.
He had classes in the morning, needed to blacksmith in the afternoon, and had to go to "Grandmaster" Yu Xiaogang for instruction after dinner.
After returning, he still had to play with Xiao Wu, and only after all of this could he begin to meditate.
He was already using meditation to replace sleep; where would he get the abundant energy to increase his soul power density?
If he truly did that, would he even be able to wake up the next day?
Moreover, true focus was not something that could be achieved just by talking about it.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
After his expression of admiration, Tang San asked, "When do you plan to get your soul ring?"
Zhao Liuyun answered without hesitation: "Tomorrow, I guess."
He couldn't delay any longer.
Tang San practiced the Purple Demon Eye every morning, and his mental strength was steadily growing.
It had already been enhanced once when he obtained his first soul ring.
His cultivation speed was extremely fast, and his soul power was nearing Level 17; it wouldn't be long before he became a Great Soul Master.
If Zhao Liuyun didn't get the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record before Tang San became a Great Soul Master, he wouldn't have the opportunity in the short term.
Getting a soul ring sooner and acquiring a soul skill sooner would also allow Zhao Liuyun to verify a guess he had.
Relying solely on a locked [Hypnosis] to extract the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record from Tang San was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Zhao Liuyun continued:
"I'll ask for leave tomorrow. My teacher has connections that can help me hunt for a soul ring."
Hunting for a soul ring at the academy was free, and any student who applied would get the chance.
However, for safety reasons, the soul beast hunted was usually not too powerful.
Even though Zhao Liuyun suspected that General Experience could increase the age limit of the soul ring, allowing seemingly ordinary soul skills to shine brightly in the later stages.
If he had a choice, it was naturally better to obtain one from a powerful soul beast from the start.
This required connections or money, or both.
Fortunately, the former could be solved through his teacher, Bai Hong, and the latter, Zhao Liuyun could pay for himself.
Tang San nodded gently, looked tenderly at Xiao Wu, who was asleep beside him, and accompanied by the floral fragrance released by Zhao Liuyun's proactively summoned martial soul, he sank into meditation again.
Over the past year, he had become accustomed to the accompanying floral fragrance.
If he couldn't smell the soothing fragrance one day, he might even feel a sense of loss.
The next morning, after reluctantly saying goodbye to everyone, Zhao Liuyun went to the academic affairs office to request a soul hunting leave.
This was a special leave created exclusively for hunting soul rings.
It was established for the genius students in the academy who reached Level 10 early.
The duration was one month, which was very convenient.
Zhao Liuyun left the academy and went straight to the Spring Return Hall.
Half a month ago, he had already mentioned to Bai Hong that he was about to break through.
At that time, Bai Hong had promised that he had some connections that could help him hunt for a soul ring. Now was the time to fulfill that promise.
"Teacher."
Zhao Liuyun's unusual visit in the morning made Bai Hong's heart skip a beat, thinking of an exhilarating fact.
"You broke through?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly in anticipation.
Zhao Liuyun's eyes were bright, and his tone was firm:
"Yes, I broke through last night. I can go hunt for a soul ring now!"
"Good! Good! This is truly wonderful!" Old Master Bai Hong laughed, his beard and hair shaking.
Although his eyes were slightly cloudy, the overflowing joy couldn't be hidden.
He stretched out his thin but strong hand and tightly gripped Zhao Liuyun's, as if to place all the dreams he hadn't achieved in the past on this disciple.
He paused for a moment, then carefully instructed:
"Your martial uncle has replied. Take some dry rations and jerky to eat on the way, and take a carriage to the Soul Hunting Town to find him."
After a moment of contemplation, Bai Hong meticulously added, "The journey is long... be sure to be extra careful."
"I will be careful, Teacher."
