The Proper Way to Use Soul Tools!

"If a wolf and a sheep hold the same weapon, can the sheep beat the wolf? At most, it can only make up for its innate weakness."

Han Yu spoke. His Tachi counted as a Soul Tool, though its grade was not high, only around level three.

Du Busi had obtained it in Vast Sea City. He knew very well that with the Tachi and without it, his strength was worlds apart.

Mu Jin's face turned a little awkward. This was originally what she had been about to say next, but now Han Yu had said everything she wanted to say, leaving her momentarily stuck.

After a pause, Mu Jin said in a deep voice, "Student Han Yu is right. Soul Tools are indeed powerful. Used well, they can bring you a tremendous boost."

"But you must understand the order of what makes a soul master powerful. Do not put the cart before the horse."

"The factors that make a soul master powerful begin with oneself. Soul Power and physical fitness are both indispensable."

"Without powerful Soul Power as support, and without physical fitness, even if you were given a Soul Tool, you would not be able to use it."

"So next, we will be conducting physical fitness training as well as practical combat training. As for improvement in Soul Power, that will depend on whether you work hard yourselves. Three months from now, the New Student Assessment will be held. I hope all of you can stay."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, she turned to look at Han Yu and said, "Student Han Yu, come with me for a moment. Help me move the training equipment we'll be using. The rest of you, go assemble in the training room first."

With that, she turned and walked out.

Han Yu stood and followed Mu Jin out of the classroom.

"Teacher Mu Jin, aren't we going to run?"

Han Yu asked in some surprise. Hearing physical fitness training, he had subconsciously thought of Class One's "running" training method.

"Running? Of course. But that is for students with insufficient endurance. For some students with relatively strong physical fitness, running is useless, so specially made tools are needed."

Mu Jin slowly slowed her pace and walked side by side with Han Yu, her long hair draped over her fragrant shoulders stirring without wind.

Now that they were close, Han Yu only felt a fresh scent of gardenias rush into his nose, making him unable to resist taking a light breath.

"I didn't expect Teacher Mu Jin to like gardenias. This scent suits you quite well."

Han Yu smiled faintly. If he had guessed correctly, Mu Jin should still be single right now, secretly in love with someone.

Mu Jin's face reddened slightly, and she laughed. "It's all right. I quite like this scent myself. Come with me to get the tools first."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, her steps sped up. In just a few breaths, she had left Han Yu behind.

Han Yu smiled faintly. He knew the meaning of gardenias. Then he followed Mu Jin to an abandoned classroom.

The classroom was very large, but it was not messy. Instead, it had been managed in perfect order. All kinds of items were placed extremely neatly. What surprised Han Yu a little was that he saw some rather familiar training tools here.

"This classroom was originally used to pile up miscellaneous items. I applied to use it to store some training props. These are the items we'll be using next."

Looking at the training equipment in front of him, similar to dumbbells, grip strengtheners, arm exercisers, and sandbags, Han Yu was somewhat surprised. He had not expected such things to exist on the Douluo Continent.

The training equipment in front of him that looked like dumbbells had some Soul Power fluctuations flowing over them. From the look of it, they were Soul Tools.

As if knowing what Han Yu was thinking, Mu Jin smiled faintly and introduced them. "Everything in front of you is a level two Soul Tool. I asked the Soul Tool Department to make them. They don't have much offensive power and can only be used for training."

"This thing in front of you that looks like a rod is a level two Soul Tool. Because its whole body has white and black stripes, making it look like the markings on a white tiger's skin, I gave it a name. It's called the 'White Tiger Rod'.

"You can inject Soul Power to charge it and freely adjust its toughness. It's generally used to train arm strength and wrist strength."

"This bag-shaped Soul Tool, I call it the 'Soul Tool Bag.' It's usually used to train attack methods and force application techniques. They're all tailor-made for assault-type soul masters."

Han Yu said in slight astonishment, "Teacher Mu, did you come up with all of these yourself, or does the academy have them?"

Mu Jin said proudly, "Of course I came up with them myself. The other classes don't have these things. They're still running right now. I originally wanted to build something similar to a gravity training room, but that old hag Zhou Yi told the Soul Tool Department that it would cost too much, and that it would be better to just run while wearing Iron Clothes. The effect would be the same."

"As soon as Dean Qian Duoduo heard it would cost a lot, and that there was a cheap training method like Iron Clothes, he directly rejected my proposal."

Mu Jin looked indignant. When she mentioned Zhou Yi and Qian Duoduo, she gnashed her teeth even more.

Han Yu laughed inwardly. There was no need to talk about Zhou Yi; the two of them were love rivals.

If a love rival was unhappy, then she herself would definitely be happy. After all, happiness was built on the suffering of others.

As for Qian Duoduo, he was purely stingy. Not only did the Soul Tool Department have fewer resources than the Martial Soul Department, even its students were the leftovers others had picked through. Rejecting Mu Jin was completely within expectations and fit Qian Duoduo's personality very well.

"All right, let's not talk about it. Help me move these things out. The more I talk, the angrier I get."

Mu Jin waved her hand, picked up a pile of "White Tiger Rods" first, and walked out.

Han Yu's expression turned strange. "White Tiger Rod," "Soul Tool Bag"—he had the urge to make a comment.

He picked up the remaining "Soul Tool Bags" and followed Mu Jin to the training room.

Every class had a training room, but every teacher had their own training methods, and some people did not use them.

At this moment, the training room was filled with the neatly lined-up students of Class Nine. Mu Jin slowly came before the students and said in a deep voice, "Three months from now, there will be a New Student Assessment. Half of the entire First Grade will be eliminated. I hope you can work hard to improve yourselves."

"Whether you can stay at the academy will depend on yourselves. Don't put all your hopes on me. Although I am your teacher, in the end, I am only a student who walked one step ahead of you."

"The road of a soul master is very long. A teacher is merely your guide. Whether you can become strong depends entirely on yourselves. Of course, I will also do everything I can to teach you."

"Strength is only a necessary condition on the road to becoming strong. Beyond that, there are many other factors. Of course, that has nothing to do with the current lesson. Our first lesson today is to improve your strength."

Whoosh!

As Mu Jin's words fell, the entire class instantly burst into an uproar!

Every student's eyes were filled with drive. Before they knew it, pressure had settled over their hearts, as if urging them to run forward.

Han Yu looked at Mu Jin in some surprise. With just a few words, she had stirred the students' emotions. What surprised him even more was that she could say something like this. It made him see her in a slightly new light.
