Bai Yan's First Soul Skill Is Very Weak?

Bai Yan's First Soul Skill Is Very Weak?

The second day of school was also the second lesson since school had started.

Today was another bright, clear day.

Teacher Bai Yan was standing at the podium, giving her lecture.

Quan Yi, however, was reading a book he had borrowed from the Library with great interest during class.

Huo Wu, who noticed this from beside him, felt her heart tremble with fear.

Because of yesterday's battle, Huo Wu had gained a very deep understanding of Teacher Bai Yan's strength, so she did not dare get distracted in Teacher Bai Yan's class.

But she had never expected Quan Yi to actually dare openly slack off in Teacher Bai Yan's class.

Although Huo Wu admired Quan Yi's courage, she was still extremely worried that the teacher would scold him.

However, half the class had already passed, and Teacher Bai Yan still paid no attention to Quan Yi's behavior, as if she had not seen it at all.

This also made Huo Wu let out a breath of relief.

However, Huo Wu had completely misunderstood Quan Yi. Quan Yi was not slacking off.

He was training his ability in Dual-Mindedness.

Although his eyes were fixed on the book, his ears were focused on listening to the content of Teacher Bai Yan's lecture.

Through yesterday's lesson, Quan Yi had learned that most of Teacher Bai Yan's lecture content was extremely basic, and he had already mastered most of it long ago.

In order not to waste the whole morning, Quan Yi planned to study on his own while also training his Dual-Mindedness technique.

This way, not only could he guarantee his study time, he could also deal with any sudden questions from the teacher. It accomplished several things at once.

"That's all for today's lesson. Class dismissed."

Bai Yan announced the end of class, then left the classroom.

Before leaving, she deliberately met Quan Yi and Huo Wu's eyes, signaling that they should not forget the afternoon's training.

Seeing that the teacher had left, Huo Wu immediately walked over to Quan Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, you're way too bold. You even dared slack off in Teacher Bai Yan's class."

"I wasn't slacking off. I heard everything the teacher said," Quan Yi said truthfully.

But Huo Wu wore an expression that said she did not believe him.

Quan Yi did not explain further. "Let's go. We still have to train at noon. If we finish earlier, we'll have more time to rest in the afternoon."

Huo Wu could do nothing about Quan Yi and could only say, "Let's go."

At noon, after eating lunch, the two of them arrived beneath the large tree beside the Training Ground.

Sitting in the shade, Quan Yi read while Huo Wu took a nap.

Because the afternoon was also taken up by cultivation, Quan Yi's time to read had been greatly reduced. It was also because of this that Quan Yi had thought of reading during class.

Although a full day of cultivation was indeed very tiring, Quan Yi still did not plan to give up reading. Reading was an important channel for understanding this world.

In the afternoon, Teacher Bai Yan arrived as promised.

"First, I want to announce something. It's about the future arrangements for Combat Training. Five days a week, at this time, I will arrange one Combat Training session. It isn't much, but I hope you will give your all in every session."

Bai Yan first told the two of them her teaching arrangements.

"Yes."

Quan Yi and Huo Wu answered at the same time.

Bai Yan nodded, then continued, "Before we begin training, I first want to hear your thoughts on yesterday's battle."

Hearing this, Huo Wu's gaze drifted a little.

Bai Yan keenly noticed this.

"Huo Wu, you go first."

"Ah—okay."

Huo Wu shouted inwardly that she was unlucky. She kept recalling yesterday's battle in her mind and forced herself to begin explaining her thoughts.

"First, I realized my weakness, which is that I lack close-combat methods. If not for Quan Yi, I might not have lasted even one move."

This was indeed the part that had left the deepest impression on Huo Wu.

Bai Yan nodded approvingly at Huo Wu. "Mm, very good. It seems victory didn't go to your head. However, you don't need to be anxious either. Your development direction is the Control System. If you develop in this direction, you will certainly have no shortage of methods to deal with close combat in the future."

Bai Yan knew very well that Huo Wu only had one soul skill right now, so when facing a situation she was not good at, it was naturally hard for her to cope.

Then she turned to Quan Yi and asked, "Quan Yi, I'd like to hear your thoughts as well."

Quan Yi had not only considered these questions deeply, but he had also already begun making up for his shortcomings.

Therefore, facing Bai Yan's question, Quan Yi's expression remained calm as he stated his thoughts evenly.

"Teacher, my strengths and weaknesses are both very obvious. My close combat is very strong, but I'm not good at long-range attacks. Also, my speed is inferior to the Agility Attack System."

Bai Yan was very satisfied with Quan Yi's analysis. This was a student she did not need to worry too much about.

In the morning, Bai Yan had seen Quan Yi reading "extracurricular books." Originally, Bai Yan did not approve of such behavior, but she had seen that the books Quan Yi was reading contained more profound content.

Therefore, Teacher Bai Yan did not choose to criticize Quan Yi. Instead, she chose to turn a blind eye.

"Mm, your summary is very accurate, but I have to remind you of one thing. Your development path is the Power Attack System, and these weaknesses of yours are actually common weaknesses shared by all Power Attack System soul masters. So your focus should be on promoting your strengths, not Compensating Weaknesses."

Teacher Bai Yan's words left Quan Yi a little stunned. Focus on promoting his strengths—then did that mean he should not make up for his weaknesses? Teacher Bai Yan went on, "Do you still remember my First Soul Skill?"

Huo Wu hurriedly nodded. Yesterday, it had been precisely because of that soul skill that she had exhausted all her Soul Power.

"Did any of you notice anything unusual?"

Teacher Bai Yan's words left Huo Wu somewhat confused, but Quan Yi, who stood to the side, seemed lost in thought.

"There was something unusual." Teacher Bai Yan's words reminded Quan Yi, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately noticed an anomaly.

Surprise flashed through Teacher Bai Yan's eyes, while Huo Wu became even more anxious to know the answer.

"Xiao Yi, stop keeping us in suspense. Hurry up and tell me."

Under the expectant gazes of Teacher Bai Yan and Huo Wu, Quan Yi voiced his thoughts.

"Teacher, forgive my bluntness. In my view, Teacher's First Soul Skill is truly far too weak."

Quan Yi mercilessly criticized Teacher Bai Yan's First Soul Skill, and Huo Wu was so frightened by his words that her eyes went wide.

"What are you saying!" Huo Wu shook Quan Yi's arm with her hand and said urgently, "Hurry up and apologize to Teacher."

Quan Yi's words sounded very much like a provocation toward their teacher. Huo Wu was so frightened that she shook his arm hard, then anxiously explained to their teacher, "Teacher, Quan Yi didn't mean it."

"Hahahahaha!"

Teacher Bai Yan's sudden laughter left Huo Wu completely at a loss. Wasn't she supposed to be angry?

"Quan Yi, you're very smart. Huo Wu, you don't need to be nervous either. Quan Yi is right. My First Soul Skill is indeed very weak."

Huo Wu was utterly bewildered. What was going on?

"Weak? Isn't Teacher's First Soul Skill very hard to deal with?"

Huo Wu had faced Teacher Bai Yan's attack directly as well. It was clearly extremely troublesome, so why did both of them insist on calling it weak? Huo Wu's heart was filled with confusion.
