Half a month passed quickly, and Oscar and Zhao Wuji returned from the Star Dou Great Forest.
Oscar also obtained his third soul ring, but because the soul beast he hunted was not the Phoenix Tail Crested Serpent from the original work, his soul skill was also different from the original.
His third soul skill was called Great Speed Sausage, which could temporarily increase speed by thirty percent. As a third soul skill, it was considered decent.
However, compared to Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's soul skills, it was much inferior, lacking potential for growth.
Because for each soul ring added to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, the soul skill's amplification effect would increase by ten percent.
During the half a month Oscar was hunting for a soul ring, everything at Shrek was operating as usual.
Yu Xiaogang came every day to observe the training of Xiao Wu and the other two. At first, he only observed Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, but when he found that they only ever practiced climbing trees, he stopped paying attention to them and instead turned his observational gaze towards Xiao Wu.
In Yu Xiaogang's opinion, Xiao Wu's method of controlling soul power was clearly much more profound. She could control soul power to change form in her hands and could even unleash soul power in an instant, causing high damage.
Yu Xiaogang observed while recording the training details.
Usually, he would observe in the morning and find a place to train himself in the afternoon.
Now that half a month had passed, he believed he had made some progress in controlling soul power.
Although he found that he absolutely could not climb trees vertically like Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
But Yu Xiaogang didn't think he was training incorrectly. Instead, he felt that he might have accidentally skipped the initial stage of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's training and transitioned directly to the stage Xiao Wu was currently training at.
Because he found that using his method to instantly concentrate soul power at one point and unleash it could also cause higher burst damage.
The only difference from Xiao Wu was that his foundation wasn't solid enough; he couldn't change the form of soul power or control the strength of its burst like Xiao Wu.
Moreover, after each training session, his meridians felt strange, with a feeling of swelling and pain.
If this continued, it would definitely leave behind sequelae.
Therefore, Master immediately thought of an idea. After training, just take a medicinal bath, or have Shao Xin make some healing jellybeans for the children. Wouldn't that work?
As a Food System Auxiliary Soul Sage, Shao Xin had soul skills for healing injuries.
Yu Xiaogang even tried it with Shao Xin, and the effect was good. After eating the healing jellybeans, the swelling and pain in his meridians instantly disappeared.
So he was very happy, because he might have discovered a shortcut!
Although he wasn't sure if it was dangerous yet, with Shao Xin there, he would have more room for trial and error.
He believed that once his control over soul power improved, his meridians would naturally no longer feel that swelling and pain.
Another half month passed!
Having completely confirmed his conjecture, Yu Xiaogang immediately informed Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others of this news.
As the saying goes, sharing joy is better than enjoying it alone.
Yu Xiaogang felt that such a good thing should be shared with everyone.
On the training ground, in front of Tang San, the others, and Flander, Yu Xiaogang punched and broke a tree trunk about the thickness of a bowl, and at the same time, stomped his foot, creating a pit in the ground about three feet wide.
Afterwards, a smile appeared on his seemingly stiff face, and he said confidently, "I have completely mastered Qi Lin's training method."
"I have to say, he is indeed a genius. Unfortunately, his research in this area is clearly not enough, which is why I was able to find a shortcut for this training method, while he could not."
"Oh my god, Master, you're amazing, quickly teach us," Ma Hongjun shouted.
Oscar was also very excited, and said in shock, "Master, can an Auxiliary Soul Master like me also learn this?"
Master said confidently, "Of course!"
"Great!" Oscar's eyes lit up. If this was the case, didn't it mean he could also have offensive power like an Attack System Soul Master in the future?
Flander said with a smile, "Xiao Gang, why don't you tell these children about your research findings? I'll also listen from the side."
Yu Xiaogang immediately spoke confidently about his research findings and training method.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, two people in the crowd frowned.
One was Flander, and the other was Tang San.
Tang San thought to himself, "According to Master's method, it is to mobilize the soul power from the dantian to a certain point, and then instantly unleash it, thereby causing more powerful destruction."
"But such a crude and direct method, are you sure it won't cause a heavy burden on the meridians?"
"Even if there's an Auxiliary Soul Master to help recover, external injuries are easy to heal, but internal injuries are not."
The reason why Tang San, who had always trusted Yu Xiaogang, would question him internally was because he found that this so-called soul power control principle seemed to have similarities with the Mysterious Jade Hand, Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps that he had mastered.
Both involve controlling soul power from the dantian, then releasing it from the body in a special form, which then creates various moves and skills.
Just like the ultimate techniques of various sects in the martial world of his previous life.
It was just that in his previous life, these ultimate techniques were performed using internal energy, while in this life, they were changed to soul power.
Moreover, the internal energy he knew in his previous life could not change the form of soul power freely like Qi Lin.
Intuition told Tang San that the soul power training method created by Qi Lin was definitely not as simple as Master said, but he didn't say it directly to avoid embarrassing Master.
But Flander wouldn't think this way. He directly said, "Xiao Gang, there's a big problem with your training method."
"Flander, are you questioning me?" Yu Xiaogang frowned.
Flander said in a deep voice, "Xiao Gang, it's not that I want to question you."
"It's just that you are only at level twenty-nine, so you might not be aware of how immense the soul power contained within a Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, or even a Title Douluo is."
"Such vast soul power, once unleashed roughly and instantly without using soul skills as a medium, the damage to the Soul Master's body is probably not to be underestimated!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, but still said, "Flander, you yourself said Soul Sages, Soul Douluos, and Title Douluos. At that realm, with a variety of soul skills, they naturally wouldn't need this method I'm talking about."
"Moreover, according to my theory, as long as one can skillfully control soul power, they can control the released soul power within the range they can withstand, and there's no need to worry about damaging the body at all."
"What's more, look at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. They have been training with Qi Lin for so long, has anything happened to them?"
"Flander, believe me, nothing will happen!"
Looking at the eloquent Yu Xiaogang, and thinking of Ning Rongrong and the other two training with Qi Lin, Flander thought that made sense.
After all, if Qi Lin's teaching was fine, how could Xiao Gang's be problematic?
Even if something really happened, there was still Shao Xin, the Food System Soul Sage, to back them up.

I feel like there's something strange about this chapter. If anyone sees a problem, please point it out, and I'll look into revising it later.
