[Now that the issue of how to carry out the Heaven-Defying act of changing fate has been resolved, the next step is naturally to Cultivate.]
[After all, no matter how many ideas one has, one's Rank must increase.]
[Thus, Yu Xiaogang's daily routine once again became Cultivating, studying, studying, and Cultivating.]
[During this time, the Elders were as good as their word; having promised him the treatment of a Spirit Douluo, they delivered the resources directly the very next day.]
[They didn't let Yu Xiaogang worry about it at all.]
[On another early morning, Yu Xiaogang, having woken up early, went to the peak of the Family's back mountain. Bathing in the newly risen sunlight, he meditated continuously to refine his spirit power.]
["Whew..."]
[Exhaling a long breath, Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes. Sensing his spirit power, which had barely increased at all, he immediately frowned.]
["Too slow."]
[More than a month had passed since his Martial Soul Awakening, and during this time, he had never slackened in his Cultivation.]
[Even while conducting the Whale Glue experiments, his Cultivation had continued.]
[But the spirit power in his body, which had shown almost no growth, once again told Yu Xiaogang just how poor his talent was.]
["The golden age for a Spirit Master's Cultivation is between the ages of six and twenty."]
["At this rate, I'm afraid I won't even reach Rank ten until I'm in my teens."]
["With this kind of progress, my golden Cultivation years will all be wasted."]
[Yu Xiaogang felt unwilling; if he missed the golden Cultivation age, his subsequent improvement speed would be even slower.]
["Luo luo."]
[Just as Yu Xiaogang was worrying about his Cultivation speed, the Little Dragon came hopping to his side, carrying a stone in its mouth.]
[Its large eyes gazed at Yu Xiaogang, and when he reached out his hand, the Little Dragon finally placed the stone it was carrying into his palm.]
[It was a stone shaped like a chicken leg. Looking at the stone, Yu Xiaogang shook his head and laughed.]
["You, you're such a glutton!"]
[Stroking the Little Dragon's head, Yu Xiaogang felt emotional; this Spirit of his was much smarter than the pets he had raised in his past life.]
[After all, the Little Dragon was also a part of himself.]
["But speaking of which, although the Little Dragon is a part of me, it has its own consciousness. What's the deal with its consciousness? Is it another me?"]
[Yu Xiaogang thought to himself.]
[The moment he thought of this, he suddenly froze.]
["Another me?"]
[Yu Xiaogang instinctively glanced at the Little Dragon, and many thoughts flashed quickly through his mind.]
[However, no matter how much he thought, it wasn't as good as actually putting it into practice.]
[So, picking up the Little Dragon, Yu Xiaogang looked directly into its eyes.]
["Little Dragon, you should be able to understand my words, right? Nod if you understand."]
[Hearing this, the Little Dragon nodded.]
["Very good. Now then, Little Dragon, do as I say."]
[Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Yu Xiaogang began to explain the meditation method for Cultivation to the Little Dragon.]
[Fearing at first that the Little Dragon wouldn't understand, Yu Xiaogang explained the most basic and simplest meditation method to it.]
[To Yu Xiaogang's surprise, the Little Dragon easily understood the meditation method he explained.]
[After finishing the explanation, Yu Xiaogang told the Little Dragon to Cultivate according to the meditation method.]
[And the Little Dragon actually began to Cultivate.]
[Watching the Little Dragon meditating with its eyes closed, Yu Xiaogang couldn't even be bothered with his own Cultivation.]
[He stayed by the Little Dragon's side, quietly waiting for the results of its Cultivation.]
[Two hours passed quickly in this atmosphere of one Dragon Cultivating and one person watching.]
[When the Little Dragon opened its eyes again, Yu Xiaogang impatiently rubbed its head and then recalled it into his body.]
[In an instant, Yu Xiaogang felt a tiny bit of growth in the spirit power within his body.]
[Although it was only a tiny bit, its significance was completely different from the growth he gained through his own Cultivation.]
["The Little Dragon can actually Cultivate and increase my spirit power as well! This means that for the same amount of time spent Cultivating, my results will be double those of others!"]
["I never expected it, truly never expected it. A Separate Beast Spirit actually has such a Heaven-Defying effect!"]
Black World, Shrek Academy.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words from the heavenly curtain, the Grandmaster stood frozen on the spot with a dull gaze.
Luo San Pao can Cultivate?
Luo San Pao can actually Cultivate too?
Why had he never thought of letting Luo San Pao try to Cultivate?
After being dazed for a long while, the Grandmaster's mind was in a state of chaos, and his body began to sway.
Flender, seeing the Grandmaster's state, hurried forward to support him.
"Xiaogang, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Come out, Luo San Pao!"
The Grandmaster waved his hand, then ignoring Flender, he directly summoned Luo San Pao.
Luo San Pao appeared beside the Grandmaster with a look of confusion, only to see the Grandmaster rush forward and say:
"Luo San Pao, hurry up and Cultivate! Cultivate just like I usually do! Quick, hurry up and Cultivate!"
The Grandmaster urged urgently, but unfortunately, Luo San Pao had no idea how to Cultivate and could only stand there in a daze.
Flender, seeing his good friend's anxious state, gave him a reminder, which finally made the Grandmaster realize.
"Right, right, right. I have to teach it, I have to teach it."
Thus, the Grandmaster began to carefully teach Luo San Pao how to meditate and how to Cultivate.
During this time, everyone was watching the Grandmaster.
Once the Grandmaster finished teaching, Luo San Pao also began to meditate with its eyes closed, just like the Little Dragon.
Throughout this, the Grandmaster stayed by Luo San Pao' side with a face full of anticipation, praying in his heart that Luo San Pao' Cultivation could help him Breakthrough his Bottleneck.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, two hours had gone by.
As soon as the time was up, the Grandmaster impatiently terminated Luo San Pao' Cultivation and recalled it into his body.
However, when Luo San Pao returned, the Grandmaster's expression froze for a moment; then, with a sway of his body, he slumped to the ground.
"Why? Why won't it work?"
The Grandmaster murmured to himself, looking lost and dejected.
Luo San Pao had Cultivated for two hours, but when the Grandmaster recalled it into his body, there wasn't the slightest fluctuation in the spirit power within him.
Not even a trace, however imperceptible.
It was just like the result of every attempt at meditation he had made over the years using methods he thought were suitable.
The gate to Rank thirty still stood before him, preventing him from making any progress.
"Why? Why treat me like this? Why wasn't I the one to discover early on that Luo San Pao could Cultivate?"
The Grandmaster stared at Yu Xiaogang in the heavenly curtain, who was exceptionally happy because he had discovered that the Little Dragon could Cultivate with him. In the Grandmaster's eyes, resentment and jealousy were impossible to suppress.
Why were all these things discovered by the version of himself in the parallel world, especially when that person discovered them at the very beginning of his Cultivation?
These discoveries truly could have played a massive role in his future.
Why wasn't it him who discovered these things? If he had, the one to become the Dragon God Douluo would have been him!
