Academy, Bathhouse!

This wasn't Wang Li's first visit, but it was his first time using the medicinal bath.

According to Elder Ling, the academy had its own supplier for medicinal herbs. Because of the academy's large-scale, long-term purchases, they were able to receive significant discounts. The more students there were, the more herbs they needed, and the better the discounts. A medicinal bath costing twelve gold spirit coins or a bath costing twenty-four gold spirit coins would be impossible to experience outside of the academy.

The bathhouse had a spacious area of 500 square meters, divided into individual cubicles. Wang Li found an unoccupied spot and stepped inside, closing the door behind him.

He first rinsed out the wooden tub with clean water before opening the hot water valve. However, unlike the usual hot water, a faint green liquid with a strong herbal aroma poured out.

"This is the medicinal bath..."

Wang Li, intrigued, undressed and sat in the tub. Due to his "Vitality" characteristic and the passive "Resilience," his body was already different from an ordinary person's, and he hoped the medicinal bath would still be effective.

Wang Li relaxed and carefully felt the warmth spreading through his body. The fatigue from his recent training began to fade, and the medicinal bath seemed to be working.

"Ah..."

He let out a deep sigh and fully relaxed, enjoying the brief moment of peace.

"Tomorrow, I'll continue training and aim for one-heart-three-use!"

Though Wang Li was a first-year student, he had never attended the regular first-year courses. The three-stage training plan that Elder Ling had set for him was the one that had truly helped him progress.

And so, time passed quickly, and three months later...

In the Center of the Forest, Behind the Academy!

Wang Li stood still, surrounded by thirty-six Blue Silver vines divided into three groups, all weaving through the forest at incredible speed and agility.

Elder Ling, observing from a distance, smiled in satisfaction. In just three months, Wang Li had already met the requirements for the first stage of his training.

Elder Ling then called out loudly:

"Wang Li, I'm releasing the Soft-Boned Rabbits now. Your task is to catch them. You can't count catching them one by one; you need to catch at least two at a time, and the more you catch, the better. The faster you do it, the better!"

Catching multiple rabbits at once, while minimizing the time spent, was a real test of Wang Li's eyesight, hearing, focus, and control over his Blue Silver Grass.

Wang Li confidently responded:

"Understood, Elder Ling!"

At this, Elder Ling gestured for the four teachers nearby to act. Each teacher held a cage, and they positioned themselves around Wang Li before opening the cages.

In a flash, numerous white figures leapt out of the cages, their speed astonishing as they scattered in all directions.

Rabbits, though usually unassuming when lying down, were surprisingly fast and agile when caught and pulled by the legs, their long, powerful limbs propelling them forward.

As spirit beasts, their speed was even more remarkable. But Wang Li stayed calm. He quickly assessed the number of rabbits, their escape directions, and running speeds, and then planned his approach.

If he couldn't catch these rabbits, who only ran in panic, how could he hope to capture agile spirit masters with rich combat experience in the future?

The Blue Silver vines launched from all directions, skillfully trapping the fleeing rabbits. The rabbits, with their ability to predict danger and evade it, proved to be challenging opponents.

In the first round, Wang Li caught four rabbits, but sixteen escaped. He quickly organized a second round of pursuit...

And three months later...

After countless repetitions of the process of "letting go and recapturing," the Soft-Boned Rabbits still hadn't learned their lesson. As soon as the cage door opened, they darted out again.

In the blink of an eye, the Blue Silver Grass spread like a vast net across the sky and ground, instantly capturing all twenty Soft-Boned Rabbits and tossing them back into the cage.

Seeing this, Elder Ling nodded in satisfaction and smiled:

"It seems the Soft-Boned Rabbits are no longer needed. Just send them to the cafeteria."

He then turned to a group of people standing nearby and addressed them:

"Bai Chen, Meng Du, Qing Yi, Neil, Cang Nan, Liu Si—these are the student council members, and your task is to try to catch him in this forest."

"Don't underestimate Wang Li just because there are more of you. After six months of training, his strength has grown exponentially. This forest, in particular, is the perfect battlefield for his Blue Silver Grass spirit."

Bai Chen, Meng Du, and the others recognized Wang Li's strength and respected his resolve. One-on-one, none of them stood a chance against him, but could they catch him in a six-on-one battle?

Exchanging glances, they swiftly summoned their spirits and entered the forest, spreading out in a semi-circular formation to surround Wang Li.

Wang Li, hidden among the trees, observed the six and quickly deduced that Elder Ling's goal for this training was to have him use his spirit and soul skills to hold out longer under their siege.

But why must he always be the prey? After all, he could be the hunter as well. As fellow soul masters, fighting six-on-one required careful management of his soul power.

Four Months Later!

In the forest, Neil and Cang Nan were both tied to trees by Blue Silver Grass, their faces showing clear frustration.

Not far away, Qing Yi, still in her half-human, half-serpent form, hung suspended in mid-air, with the heavily armored Liu Si in the same predicament.

Further ahead, Bai Chen was completely wrapped in Blue Silver Grass, like a dumpling. In such a complex environment as this forest, it was the perfect place for Wang Li to make use of his stealth, but his paralysis toxins were completely ineffective against the Blue Silver Grass, which completely countered him.

At this point, only Meng Du was still holding on. His battle axe had the power to sever the Blue Silver Grass, but the strain it placed on him was immense. As his soul power depleted, he would inevitably face the same fate as the others—wrapped up in the Blue Silver Grass.

After easily overcoming the six, Wang Li finally stepped forward and used his control over the Blue Silver Grass to release them.

Qing Yi, returning to her human form, looked at him with a resigned expression:

"This isn't six of us surrounding the president. This is clearly the president surrounding all of us. The Blue Silver Grass is everywhere—no matter how we fight, we can only lose."

Wang Li smiled slightly in response:

"Thank you all for being such great sparring partners. I believe I won't need any more of your help now. I've broken through to level 20 in soul power, and I'll soon be applying to the academy's principal to hunt a spirit beast and acquire my first soul ring."

In fact, Wang Li had reached level 20 in soul power two or three months ago, but he decided to wait until he completed the third stage of training before moving forward.

The 200 experience points had helped him increase his soul power by two levels. The experience required to progress from soul master to soul scholar was much greater than that required for the next level.

The remaining three levels of soul power came from his own cultivation.
