Douluo: This soul master is a big eater

Chapter 7 Meditation
At noon, Yun Yi followed everyone in Dormitory 7 to the cafeteria for lunch. Before leaving, Old Jack left two silver coins for him and Tang San, which temporarily solved their urgent problem. Having never bought anything since coming to this world, he was not quite sure about the purchasing power of these two silver coins.

Not long after, Yun Yi and Tang San also saw Yu Xiaogang in the cafeteria.

Seeing this, Tang San also hurriedly went up to greet him, "Teacher, you are here to eat too."

Yun Yi also followed with a smile on his face, "Hello, Master."

The master nodded slightly when he saw the two of them, and then asked Tang San, "Have you packed everything?"

Tang San nodded respectfully and said, "Thank you, teacher, for the quilt."

The master patted him on the shoulder and said, "Follow me to the second floor for dinner. Then I will take you to my place to identify the door."

Tang San was about to refuse, but Yun Yi was like a child, looking at Yu Xiaogang with feigned admiration and said, "Master, can I do the same?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the child in front of him whom he did not dislike, smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Of course."

Tang San glanced at Yun Yi, then at Yu Xiaogang. He wanted to say something, but when he heard Yu Xiaogang agreed, he stopped talking. He could not help but mourn for Yu Xiaogang's wallet in his heart, and secretly said, "Teacher should be quite rich."

"Let's go." Yu Xiaogang then took the lead and went to the second floor.

Tang San also said hello to Wang Sheng and Xiao Wu, and followed with Yun Yi.

The second floor was different from the first floor in that it had a menu. Yun Yi took a quick glance at the astonishing prices and didn't know what to say. However, to a high-level soul master, money was just a number.

Yun Yi scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Master, the food here is too expensive. I eat a lot..."

Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said calmly, "Eat with peace of mind. Although I'm not a rich man, I can still let you eat as much as you want."

After he finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. In his opinion, how much can a child eat? But Yun Yi's appearance did not seem to be fake.

"Is there something strange happening to this child?" Yu Xiaogang thought secretly in his heart.

Soon, a table full of dishes was served. Yun Yi looked at the dishes on the table and estimated that they should be worth more than ten gold coins. However, money was just a number to the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Eat, don't be polite." Yu Xiaogang said with a smile. He was quite satisfied with the courtesy of the two children in front of him. If an ordinary child saw such a large table of food, he would probably have started eating.

Hearing this, Yun Yi picked up the cutlery and started eating. Yu Xiaogang and Tang San also started eating.

"Xiao Yi, you have a good appetite. Eat more. There is some soul beast meat in these dishes, which is very good for your body." Yu Xiaogang said.

"Hmm...hmm..." Yun Yi nodded while eating.

"Xiaoyi, apart from your appetite, is there any other abnormality in your body?" Yu Xiaogang asked with a smile.

"The teacher is a theoretical master in the study of martial spirits. Perhaps he can solve the problem with your body." Tang San gave Yu Xiaogang a helping hand at the right time.

Yun Yi certainly understood what Yu Xiaogang was planning. Yun Yi swallowed the food in his mouth and said truthfully, "Well, besides eating more, I also have more strength and speed. Also, sometimes my soul power will be consumed involuntarily."

"Oh? Soul power consumption?" Yu Xiaogang became interested after hearing this.

Yun Yi nodded and pretended to be confused, "Sometimes my eyes can see very clearly, as if the whole world has slowed down."

Hearing this, Tang San, who was eating at the side, had a gleam in his eyes and thought to himself, "No wonder Yun Yi was able to catch Xiao Wu's flaw so accurately. This boxing method is tailor-made for this child. The Tang Sect disciples with the Purple Demon Pupil can also use this boxing method."

Yu Xiaogang saw a hint of interest in Yun Yi's eyes, and thought to himself, "His body is different from that of an ordinary person, and he has developed abilities similar to a martial spirit."

Yun Yi continued while eating, "If my soul power could be as high as Xiao San's, maybe I could eat less."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Yun Yi with surprise and said, "Oh? Xiaoyi, how did you know that?"

Yun Yi pretended to think and looked at Yu Xiaogang seriously, "Our village chief's martial soul is carrots, but he has no soul power. Once before, I ate a lot of the village chief's carrots and he almost fainted. This shows that the martial soul consumes the soul master's physical strength when there is no soul power. Perhaps it is the special ability of this body that intensifies the consumption of physical and soul power. As long as the soul power is strong enough, the consumption of physical strength will be reduced, and naturally you will not be hungry so quickly, and you don't need to eat so much."

Yu Xiaogang looked at Yun Yi who was speaking so eloquently and nodded, saying, "Yes, Xiao Yi, what you said makes sense. It seems that you have a talent for learning martial arts theory."

"Master, if you were me, is there any other way to solve my appetite problem besides increasing my soul power?" Yun Yi looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked with a smile.

Yun Yi is a time traveler with a God's perspective. Although most netizens in his previous life were disdainful of Yu Xiaogang, Yun Yi thought that maybe Yu Xiaogang was really as the netizens said. However, Yun Yi saw persistence in Yu Xiaogang, the persistence of a soul master with low innate soul power.

The most important point is that although Yu Xiaogang did not make any achievements in his research, this did not prevent him from reading a lot of books. At least Yu Xiaogang was more reliable than the teachers in the junior soul master academy. In a small place like Notting City, there was no one else Yun Yi could ask except Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang looked thoughtful when he heard this. In fact, the moment Yun Yi asked the question, he had several solutions, but they were not applicable to Yun Yi.

In his opinion, solving Yun Yi's appetite problem is not a problem at all, because he has a powerful family behind him, so it doesn't matter if he eats like this every day. But Yun Yi is different. What Yun Yi wants is how to solve this problem economically.

Yu Xiaogang pointed at the meat on the table and said, "There are many ways, but the best way for you, Xiaoyi, is to replace ordinary food with meat produced by soul beasts. Ordinary ten-year soul beasts are not dangerous to ordinary soul masters. This way you can be self-sufficient."

Yun Yi nodded. What Yu Xiaogang said was similar to what he thought. The key was how to frequently enter and exit the Soul Hunting Forest, which required a warrant. As for the Star Dou Great Forest, Yun Yi was not tired of living there yet.

Soon, the three of them finished eating the whole table full of food. Yun Yi secretly estimated that at least 60% of it went into his stomach, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Master." Yun Yi said with a smile.

"Teacher, thank you for your expense." Tang San said seriously. Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Come on, Xiao San, come with me to get to know the sect."

Yun Yi was just about to say goodbye politely to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, but he saw that Yu Xiaogang seemed to have thought of something. A faint blue light flashed at his waist and two books appeared in his hands.

Yu Xiaogang handed the book in his hand to Yun Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, you have a talent for studying martial spirit theory. These are some gifts I give you. I hope you can go further in the future. As for your physical abilities, you can develop them well. If there are any changes, you can come to me."

Yun Yi took the books from Yu Xiaogang's hand with curiosity. One book was about meditation, and the other was about the ten core competitive strengths of the classic martial spirits.

Yun Yi suppressed his excitement and bowed slightly to Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Thank you, Master."

The meditation method that allowed Yu Xiaogang to cultivate to the twenty-ninth level with his innate half-level soul power, if you say he is a mainlander, no one will believe it.

As for the thin book on the ten core competitive strengths of martial spirits, Yun Yi flipped through it casually, and as expected, it was mostly nonsense, and most of them only had a few sentences, as if waiting for others to find out the omissions and fill them in.

Yun Yi didn't care and put both books away. The book on the ten core competitive strengths of martial arts might still be useful.

Watching the two men leaving, Yun Yi secretly rejoiced, "Following the protagonist can still make some money."

However, Yun Yi knew very well in his heart that there is no good thing without reason in this world, and the prerequisite for making money is that one is valuable to others.

In the adult world, there is only interest, even for Tang San. If he did not have twin martial souls and innate full soul power, I am afraid that even if he is the son of Haotian Douluo, Yu Xiaogang would not even look at him.

“I don’t know if I can get a permanent warrant for the Soul Hunting Forest through Yu Xiaogang. I’ll have a chance to use some ideas to trick him.” Yun Yi said secretly in his heart.

Looking at the meditation method in his hand, Yun Yi couldn't wait to head towards the seventh dormitory. This was also the beginning of his cultivation journey.

Not long after, Yun Yi returned to Dormitory 7.

It is afternoon now. According to the habit of meditation at night in Douluo Continent, there are not many people in the dormitory before the school officially starts. Yun Yi also understands that Yu Xiaogang's ability to cultivate his soul power from the innate half level to the twenty-ninth level is not entirely due to this meditation method, but also due to his decades of accumulation.

"The early bird catches the worm." Yun Yi sighed softly.

Then he carefully studied the book on meditation given by Yu Xiaogang. After a while, Yun Yi gradually entered into a state of meditation according to the instructions in the book.

How to describe this feeling? It was a very strange feeling. During the meditation process, Yun Yi felt that the world around him turned into nothingness, and suddenly, some spots of light appeared in the nothingness.

Yun Yi could feel these light spots gradually approaching him in this wonderful state of meditation, slowly merging into his body, generating a warm feeling, and finally merging into his dantian to strengthen his soul power.

“No wonder people in this world are willing to spend all their time cultivating their soul power, no matter how low their innate soul power is. Compared to physical exercise, meditation practice has no physical pain, and one can also see the so-called energy of heaven and earth integrating into one’s body little by little. This feeling of becoming stronger visibly with the naked eye is truly fascinating.” Yun Yi said secretly in his heart.

When Yun Yi opened his eyes, he subconsciously looked out the window. It was already sunset, but his belly was not growling like usual.

"It seems that keeping oneself in a meditative state is a good way to save the body's energy and spirit, but the speed of cultivation doesn't seem to be slow," Yun Yi murmured.

Yun Yi felt it carefully and found that the warm current in his body had almost doubled in size, and it seemed that he was only a little bit away from level two.

"Huo Gua also took five years to go from level one to level ten when he was eleven years old, and he only advanced two levels every year on average." Yun Yi thought about it with some confusion.

"If those light spots are the energy between heaven and earth, and they become soul power when integrated into the body, then the so-called innate soul power is the soul power that the body automatically absorbs from the free energy between heaven and earth before awakening the martial soul and learning meditation. Why doesn't my cultivation speed follow the law that innate soul power is proportional to cultivation speed?"

"Although Huo Gua only has eyes, it is also a martial soul. Why is the cultivation speed so different?"

Through the window, Yun Yi saw the setting sun, and suddenly he seemed to understand something, muttering, "Eyes, body, I understand."

If Huo Gua's eyes are compared to a planet, then the energy floating between heaven and earth is like space meteorites. Compared with Huo Gua, Yun Yi's body is like a galaxy.

In Yun Yi's opinion, the quality of martial soul, innate soul power, and cultivation speed are only related, but one does not determine the other. Just like Huo Gua, the quality of Lingmou martial soul is not low, but Huo Gua's innate soul power is low, and his cultivation speed is also low. Even in the so-called top three sects, the martial soul quality of their disciples is very high. Is there no one with low innate soul power and slow cultivation speed?
Yun Yi believes that the type of martial soul awakened will have a certain impact on the speed of cultivation and innate soul power. For example, a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex soul master can awaken innate soul power no matter how bad he is, and the martial soul can be said to have guaranteed the lower limit.

Innate soul power is only one aspect of the soul master's training speed. Those with low innate soul power obviously have weak sensitivity to the energy between heaven and earth and are slow to absorb it. After awakening their martial souls and practicing meditation, their speed will not be very fast. The so-called simulated training environment can speed up the training speed because in a special environment, there will be more energy from heaven and earth that is in line with the attributes of the martial soul. Therefore, Yun Yi believes that the training speed of a soul master is affected by various conditions.

The martial soul, body, mental strength, environment, meditation method practiced, and even diet will affect the soul master's training speed.

This is why it is extremely difficult for most people to become soul masters, while the children of sects and nobles are more likely to awaken their soul power. Yun Yi also discovered a very interesting phenomenon, that is, at present in Douluo Continent, the number of female high-level soul masters is not at the same level as that of male high-level soul masters. In Douluo Continent, which is still a feudal aristocratic society, men are obviously more valued.

“It seems that my living conditions are still not good enough. In addition, the Taoist's Vajra Gong nourishes my body. If I can have extra energy, the innate soul power I awaken may be at the maximum level ten.” Yun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although Dao Ye's Vajra Power made Yun Yi's body stronger, the consumption it brought was also enormous. It seemed that the innate soul power that Yun Yi had naturally integrated into his body before the age of six had been basically exhausted.

“Forget it, even if it’s the innate level one, at least I can hide from others and hide slowly. If I really have full innate soul power, I’m afraid that Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang will forcefully label me.” Yun Yi thought silently.

Although the world will eventually unite after a long period of division and will eventually divide after a long period of unity, Yun Yi, who was born in a stable and peaceful country in his previous life, still hopes that Douluo Continent can be unified, and the only one who can unify it is the Spirit Hall.

For Yun Yi personally, it actually has no impact on him which side he chooses, but Yun Yi believes that the sects are too private, the nobles are too weak, and it is most appropriate for the Spirit Hall, which represents the soul master class of the continent, to unify the continent.

"Hey, are you stupid? What are you mumbling about here?" A sudden voice sounded next to Yun Yi's ear.
