Douluo: AFK to Become a God

Unfortunately, Chu Chengzhou ultimately softened his heart.

Since he had decided to train the cute little rabbit-eared girl, how could he possibly hide anything from her?

"Teach the disciple, starve the master?" Not happening!

This wasn't some secret technique that would put his livelihood at risk. After all, the disciple wouldn't be competing for his meal.

However, as the teaching began, Chu Chengzhou realized that calling Xiao Wu "stupid" was really an understatement.

What he considered to be simple skills, Xiao Wu had still not mastered after an entire week of effort.

Was it his teaching that was lacking?

No, no, no, it was just that this little rabbit was too dumb!

He had also taught these three skills to his grandparents, who, despite their mediocre talent, were making progress, albeit slowly. Every little bit helped.

As for the origins of these techniques? No need to explain; as long as they could be practiced, the origins didn't matter.

Three days later, under his careful guidance, Xiao Wu finally mastered the purple-level meditation skill, following the body and spirit strengthening techniques.

"Wow, is it really this effective?"

When Xiao Wu started practicing, she immediately noticed the remarkable difference in the meditation technique Chu Chengzhou had taught her. Her meditation efficiency had increased by over 70% compared to before!

"By the way, with such a powerful meditation technique, why haven't you become a soul master yet?"

Suddenly, Xiao Wu thought of something and looked at Chu Chengzhou with suspicion.

After all, Chu Chengzhou had awakened his martial soul two years ago, and with such a powerful meditation method, how could he not have reached level 10 by now?

Immediately, Chu Chengzhou's face darkened.

Xiao Wu's words felt like a sharp knife stabbing deep into his chest, hitting a very sore spot.

"You little brat, what do you know!"

With his innate half-level soul power, Chu Chengzhou had already reached over level 6 in two years. That was already quite impressive! Take Feng Xiaotian, for example, who was born with full soul power; he was 24 years old and only reached level 44 Soul Master. Without considering his initial 10-level advantage, his four soul rings contributed about 5 levels, meaning in 18 years, he only gained 29 levels—less than 1.6 levels per year.

Although the later stages of cultivation were certainly more difficult, and Feng Xiaotian was an exception with his self-created soul techniques, Chu Chengzhou's cultivation speed was already exceptional.

"What?! You've only gained 6 levels of soul power and still haven't become a soul master?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Two years to gain 6 levels, averaging 3 levels per year—at this rate, Chu Chengzhou's innate soul power must be quite high.

But the problem was, if he had gained 6 levels and still wasn't a soul master, his innate soul power must be below level 4?

Is that so? Truly a little brat!

Upon hearing this, Chu Chengzhou's face fell.

Yeah, being a "genius" who only gained 3 levels per year and still hadn't reached level 10—who would believe that?

"Geez, little Chu, it's okay if your talent is poor. Don't be sad, from now on, Xiao Wu will take care of you!"

Xiao Wu patted Chu Chengzhou's shoulder with a bright smile, trying to comfort him.

"Hmph, I don't need you to take care of me. Just watch, by this time next year, I'll almost be a full-fledged soul master!"

"Pfft~!"

As soon as Chu Chengzhou said that, Xiao Wu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

By this time next year?

Gaining 3 levels per year means little Chu is only around level 6 or 7?

Wow, I didn't expect little Chu to be this much of a slacker!

Could it be that he has less than 1-level innate soul power, like those bottom-tier students at the academy?

Immediately, Xiao Wu began to carefully observe Chu Chengzhou.

"What are you staring at? If you keep looking, I won't teach you any more good stuff!"

Flustered, Chu Chengzhou threatened.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Wu won't look anymore, I won't look anymore!"

Although she said she wouldn't look, Xiao Wu's smile showed that she almost rolled on the floor laughing.

"Hmph!"

Chu Chengzhou snorted and stopped paying attention to Xiao Wu, focusing on his own training.

The rest of the day, Chu Chengzhou ignored Xiao Wu completely.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu had learned from Su Nan and Li Wan that Chu Chengzhou's martial soul had undergone a malignant mutation, which caused his innate soul power to be only half a level.

For a moment, Xiao Wu's emotions became very complicated.

As a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast, her cultivation talent was on par with that of someone with full innate soul power. Moreover, because she was recovering her powers, she had no bottleneck below Title Douluo. In a way, her cultivation talent was even better than those with full innate soul power.

Chu Chengzhou, on the other hand, had only half a level of innate soul power. If he were anyone else, he would have given up long ago.

Even if he hadn't, with his innate soul power being so low, an improvement of 1 level per year would have been considered impressive.

But Chu Chengzhou was different. Through his own effort, he had created an incredible cultivation method, allowing him to increase his soul power by 6 levels in two years.

A perfect example of a waste material turning into a genius through hard work. This made Xiao Wu realize that she shouldn't, and didn't have the right to mock him.

Although her mockery was playful and not meant to belittle him, Xiao Wu still felt a bit embarrassed.

Chu Chengzhou: That's right, all I've relied on is my own effort... Yep, effort and some hacks.

In the evening, Chu Chengzhou was practicing his body strengthening techniques in the yard.

"Brother, dinner's ready~!"

Suddenly, a sweet and soft voice reached his ears.

"!!!"

The soft voice made Chu Chengzhou jump in shock.

Turning around, he saw Xiao Wu standing at the door of the living room, smiling at him.

"What did you just call me? Is my ear broken?"

Chu Chengzhou asked, not quite believing that it was Xiao Wu who had called him that.

"Hmph~! You can eat or not, I don't care!"

After calling him "brother" for the first time in her life, Xiao Wu immediately changed her attitude when Chu Chengzhou didn't react.

"Say it again, I want to hear it?"

To his surprise, when Xiao Wu called him "brother," it made his bones almost turn to jelly.

"Then you can stay hungry!"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave without looking back.
