However, Bai Feng was different.

Though intelligent, Bai Feng's true talent lay in martial soul cultivation. While he could learn Soul Tool crafting relatively easily, he wasn't extraordinary in this area. In fact, even calling him a genius would partly be due to his strong Soul Master abilities.

A strong Soul Master often found learning other disciplines easier.

For example, Shrek Academy's former Soul Tool Department dean, Xian Lin'er, reached the level of a Level-6 Soul Engineer after becoming a Titled Douluo, even though she lacked focus or innate talent in this field.

"I'll be leaving Sun-Moon for a while. Here's 1,000 gold soul coins—it should be enough for you to get by for a month. When I return, I'll check on your progress," Su Yu instructed.

After giving some advice, Su Yu demonstrated the process of crafting a Level-1 Soul Guidance device for Bai Feng.

Su Yu's mastery over Soul Guidance tools allowed him to craft such devices effortlessly.

He deliberately slowed down each step, creating opportunities to explain key points to his disciple. Even when pausing to elaborate, Su Yu could seamlessly resume the crafting process without error.

By the end of the demonstration, Bai Feng felt he had a solid grasp of the workflow and key considerations for crafting Soul Guidance devices.

Though he couldn't guarantee becoming a Level-1 Soul Engineer within a month, he was confident he could meet the requirements before the freshman assessment.

*Guidance on Martial Soul Techniques*

"Teacher, I've been struggling with my cultivation on the Starlight Shield. It feels... off," Bai Feng said.

Bai Feng's talent as a Soul Master was undeniable. From his questions, Su Yu could gauge his disciple's progress.

"Hmm, the Starlight Shield is one of many soul martial techniques I've adapted. These are simplified versions of rune soul techniques—you can try practicing with them.

"As for the lack of smoothness, that's normal. These techniques were designed as introductory methods to incorporate rune soul techniques into the body's meridians."

Su Yu continued, "Xiao Feng, you need to master the Starlight Shield and similar techniques quickly. True mastery comes when you can release these techniques at their optimal speed. Once you've reached that level, I'll teach you rune soul techniques. With time, you can refine these martial techniques to match or even surpass the effectiveness of soul ring skills."

He then added, "Your martial soul is excellent, imbued with a Demon-Slaying Intent. You naturally resonate with this intent, which will aid your spiritual cultivation. For rune soul techniques, mental strength is key.

"Repeatedly practicing these martial techniques to refine their release won't just help you internalize their pathways; it will also prepare you to inscribe them as void engravings in the future. Additionally, this practice strengthens your mental faculties."

Su Yu's extensive training experience was evident in his teaching methods.

He avoided abstract or overly complex terms, focusing instead on actionable guidance. He explained the immediate steps Bai Feng needed to take, the basic principles behind them, and their significance.

*Unexpected Visitors*

After three hours of detailed instruction, Su Yu and Bai Feng stepped out of the workshop.

Outside, two similar-looking youths seemed to be waiting.

"Senior Su Yu," one of them greeted.

"Yes? What can I do for you?" Su Yu asked.

The elder of the two, tall and composed, introduced himself.

"Senior, my name is Xiao Ping. I'm from the year below yours and was fortunate enough to be selected for the team competing in the upcoming Soul Duel Tournament. The dean mentioned we could seek your guidance."

Xiao Ping had a sturdy build, the cultivation of a Soul King, and was a Level-5 Soul Engineer. His expertise lay in close-combat Soul Guidance devices, particularly in armor design.

Given the current advancements in the battle armor system spearheaded by Su Yu, Xiao Ping's research direction aligned perfectly with the evolving field.

With his impressive abilities, it was no surprise that he was chosen for the tournament team.

The mention of seeking Su Yu's guidance clearly referred to battle armor-related techniques.

As part of the academy's gradual rollout, basic battle armor technology had been made accessible to tournament participants. In time, this knowledge would likely be integrated into the Royal Soul Engineering Academy's standard curriculum.

Unfortunately, Su Yu hadn't shown his face at the academy for two or three years. After all, with such a long period of travel, it would have been nearly impossible for Xiao Ping to find him.

Upon hearing that Su Yu was back at the academy today, Xiao Ping immediately brought his two younger brothers to wait for him.

"This is my younger brother, Xiao Fan."

Xiao Ping introduced himself and his brother briefly before bowing respectfully.

"Senior, I have many questions about the battle armor system, and I was wondering if you might have time to answer them."

When Su Yu heard that these were future team members, he didn't refuse.

"What do you think is the most important part of battle armor?" Su Yu asked.

"The complete core formation array, which enhances and strengthens a Soul Master in every aspect."

"No, the most essential part is the integration with the Soul Master."

Su Yu, seeing that Xiao Ping was genuinely interested in the battle armor system, began to explain.

"Integration with the Soul Master?"

Xiao Ping, being a close-combat Soul Engineer, held battle armor in high regard, but as a Soul Engineer, he had overlooked the true significance of battle armor.

"Exactly. The battle armor itself is a perfect combination of the Soul Master's abilities and the Soul Engineer's soul tools. The core of the armor is the fusion between the soul tool and the martial soul, which significantly amplifies the Soul Master's various capabilities."

Xiao Ping pondered Su Yu's words.

Su Yu turned his attention to Xiao Ping's younger brother, Xiao Fan.

"You're Xiao Fan, right?"

"Yes, I'm fourteen years old and a Level 37 Soul Master, a Level-3 Soul Engineer!"

Xiao Fan was proud of his achievements, though he remained humble in front of Su Yu.

"Senior, I would like to learn martial soul cultivation from you."

Unlike Xiao Ping, Xiao Fan didn't have a particular talent for Soul Tools. Instead, his interest lay in Soul Master cultivation.

Although his Level 37 soul power was boosted by the use of medicinal pills and daily soul-enhancing baths, Xiao Fan had diligently refined them.

Su Yu could sense that Xiao Fan's soul power was solid and profound, making him stand out even within the Royal Soul Engineer Academy.

With such abilities, achieving the level of a Level-3 Soul Engineer at his age was impressive.

However, Su Yu was reluctant to accept more disciples.

Taking on disciples was too time-consuming.

"If you want to learn martial soul cultivation techniques, I can teach you, but I won't be taking on any more disciples."

Xiao Fan's eyes dimmed a little, casting a glance of envy at Bai Feng, who stood behind Su Yu.

"The most important part of martial soul cultivation is mastering and developing your soul skills. These are some of my experiences and insights that should help you."

Xiao Fan was fourteen, which meant he was part of the academy's reserve team.

He had a deep passion for Soul Master cultivation.

Five years from now, he could very well become a leading figure in the academy.

Considering all this, Su Yu decided to offer him some help.
