Chapter 14: Innate Soul Power Gap

Chapter 14: Innate Soul Power Gap
Just as Yu Xiaogang was enjoying the compliments from the two, Director Su suddenly thought of something: "Dean, Yang Ping'an from our academy is actually quite good. Although he is only in the fifth grade, his soul power is already at level eight. He should be able to become a soul master before graduation."

Dean Wu was puzzled. "Yang Ping'an? That's unlikely. I remember that his innate spirit power is only half a level. Even if he practices hard for four years, it is impossible for him to reach level eight. In other words, in these four years, he can only improve his spirit power by nearly two levels every year on average? Even some of the outstanding students in our school can only achieve this improvement speed."

Director Su quickly spoke up, "This should be correct. At the end of every year, all students have to take final exams and soul power tests. Yang Ping'an's academic performance is the best in the whole grade. When he took the exam at the end of last year, his soul power was already at level eight. I tested it myself."

Dean Wu was somewhat relieved after hearing this: "If this is true, then Yang Ping'an is doing pretty well. He should be able to become a spirit master before graduation. I remember that our school has never had a student with half-level innate spirit power successfully graduate."

Director Su nodded and said, "Our academy does not have students with this kind of innate soul power who can graduate. Normally, one must have innate soul power level three to become a soul master before graduation. Even if it is innate soul power level two, only a few students can reach the threshold of graduation."

"Director Su, if you can help pay special attention to this student, we will have one more graduate by then."

……

Yu Xiaogang listened to the conversation between Dean Wu and Director Su, and his face seemed a little gloomy.

Yu Xiaogang thought back to his own cultivation experience. As the son of the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, he had obtained a large amount of resources from the family, but his improvement speed did not seem to be so fast. But Yang Ping'an's martial soul and innate soul power levels were exactly the same as his own, and his environment was worse than his own, but his improvement was actually faster than his own. How was this possible?

However, Yu Xiaogang thought of his apprentice Tang San, and his expression instantly relaxed: "Dean Wu, the kid you mentioned may be good, but he is only half-level innate spirit power after all. His spirit power may increase faster in the early stage, but his improvement speed will soon slow down. After all, the innate spirit power level and martial spirit determine the upper limit of a spirit master, which is recognized by the spirit master world."

When Dean Wu and Director Su heard this, they fell silent. What Yu Xiaogang said did make sense and was a fact recognized by the soul master community.

Director Su looked a little embarrassed, and Dean Wu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Master, what you said makes sense, but as teachers at the Junior Soul Master Academy, our greatest achievement is to see our students grow."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the expressions of the two people and didn't know what to say.

However, when he returned to the dormitory, he quickly looked through various books and searched for a lot of soul master training data, but he couldn't find any similar records at all. At least no student with half-level innate soul power could become a soul master before graduating from elementary school.

The next morning, when Tang San came to Yu Xiaogang to study, he saw Yu Xiaogang was a little busy and suddenly felt a little strange: "Teacher, what information are you organizing? Is it important?"

After spending some time together, Yu Xiaogang has gained Tang San's trust, especially in Tang San's previous life in the Tang Sect, where respecting teachers was the top priority.

Yu Xiaogang saw Tang San coming and seemed to have thought of something and quickly spoke: "Xiao San, there seems to be a student named Yang Ping'an in the fifth grade of your school. Have you heard of him?"

Tang San had a puzzled look on his face: "Teacher, this Yang Ping'an is also considered a weirdo in the academy. It is said that his cultivation aptitude is extremely poor, his innate spirit power is only half level, and his martial spirit is also very strange, but his academic performance is very good, and he is very hardworking. In the four years since he entered school, he has always been alone and never interacted with anyone. He is very withdrawn."

"When I went to the blacksmith shop a few days ago, I seemed to see him working in the blacksmith shop on the street next to us. And this man was very strange. He actually summoned his martial spirit and put it on the blacksmith's workbench to sleep."

Yu Xiaogang was puzzled: "What did you say? He summoned his martial spirit, the Purple Gold Mastiff, and placed it on the blacksmith's workbench? What is the use of this?" Tang San just shook his head. He didn't understand why Yang Ping'an did this.

The master and the apprentice were completely confused, but after some communication, they decided to go to the scene to take a look.

When the two men arrived outside the blacksmith shop where Yang Ping'an worked in the afternoon, they saw from afar that Yang Ping'an was working hard on forging, while the Purple Golden Mastiff was just sleeping on the empty workbench next to him.

When Yu Xiaogang and the other arrived, the Purple Golden Mastiff seemed to smell something special. It suddenly opened its eyes and sniffed carefully, but only sniffed a few times and ignored it.

Yu Xiaogang and the others watched for a long time and found that there was nothing unusual about the purple-gold mastiff. Apart from its eyes half-opening occasionally, it looked very leisurely the whole time and seemed to be enjoying itself.

Yang Ping'an seemed to sense the gaze coming from the dark, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

However, Yang Ping'an did not show any strange expression, but just continued to work silently.

In the next few days, Yu Xiaogang came to the blacksmith shop for several consecutive days, but each time he just stood in the distance and observed carefully for a long time, and gave up when he didn't find anything.

After Yang Ping'an saw Yu Xiaogang leave, he just sneered in his heart: This Yu Xiaogang who claims to be a master, can't even figure out his own martial spirit and cultivation methods, making the Purple Gold Mastiff only know how to fart, is simply a vain reputation.

Through these four years of training, especially after the Purple Gold Mastiff had stayed in the blacksmith shop for four years, Yang Ping'an could clearly feel the Purple Gold Mastiff's growth.

Especially every time the Purple Gold Mastiff spent a whole afternoon happily in the blacksmith shop and was then recalled into the body, the growth of this martial soul seemed to feed back to his body.

Theoretically speaking, for a normal soul master to practice, within the same realm, as the soul power level increases, the practice speed should become slower and slower.

But Yang Ping'an was just the opposite. He always felt that his cultivation was a little faster than when he first started. Even if the improvement was very small, it would still be reflected after years of accumulation.

For example, in the past year, his soul power has increased by two levels, or even a little more than two levels. When he first started practicing, the improvement was less than two levels a year. Now Yang Pingan is more confident that he can break through to level ten by the time he graduates from the fifth grade. Of course, this does not take into account the final bottleneck of reaching level ten.

As he continued to study in recent years, Yang Ping'an had a better understanding of the soul master's training system, and felt that the soul master world was increasingly unpredictable. He only understood the basics when he read the original work in his previous life.

Of course, it was only after several years of study that I realized how terrifying the talents of those soul masters with innate full soul power are, and how big the gap between innate soul powers is.

But Yang Pingan himself is also very confident that as long as he gives himself enough time, he will definitely not be worse than those geniuses in the future.
