Teacher Yu Xiaogang watched Xiao Zhan seemingly lost in some wild fantasy, dejected one moment and brimming with fighting spirit the next, his expressions incredibly varied.
Yu Xiaogang stopped watching Xiao Zhan, that imagination-addled oddball, and continued analyzing Si Si's unique Martial Soul.
"Student Si Si, you should not add a Mandala Snake Soul Ring. After all, you do not have a snake-type Martial Soul. Without an organ capable of carrying toxins, there will be only one result if you absorb a Mandala Snake Soul Ring."
Yu Xiaogang gave Si Si a meaningful look before continuing his explanation, making Si Si feel deeply uncomfortable.
"Didn't I explain this to you this morning? Have you forgotten already? A Martial Soul is part of one's bloodline and soul. If your Ribbon Martial Soul absorbs a Mandala Snake Soul Ring, your body can only endure the poison through sheer physical resilience. If you attach the Soul Ring of a poison-attributed soul beast, one day your body will no longer be able to bear it. There will be only one outcome: you will be poisoned to death by your own Martial Soul's venom!"
Si Si immediately felt a chill run through her entire body, her eyes filling with terror. It broke Su Yuntao's heart, while the female student beside Si Si comforted her. "Don't worry, Si Si. You haven't added a Soul Ring yet, so there's still time for everything. And don't we have Teacher Yu Xiaogang now? He'll help you choose a suitable soul beast for your First Soul Ring! Then you can support us sisters while we protect you! Hehe! Teacher Yu Xiaogang, you'll help Sister Si Si choose the most suitable Soul Ring for her Martial Soul, right?"
After comforting Si Si, the female student looked up at Yu Xiaogang with hopeful, tearful eyes.
Yu Xiaogang could never withstand that kind of gaze. He nodded to show that he would help Si Si and said, "Don't worry. You are all my students. I will carefully help each of you select your Soul Rings. As long as you add Soul Rings according to my requirements, you will become even stronger!"
Yu Xiaogang answered the female student's request and made a guarantee and promise to the Elite Class students as well.
Every student in the Elite Class was overjoyed. How fortunate they were to have a teacher who cared so much about his students!
The Elite Class students looked at the unfamiliar training equipment around them. An iron bar with huge iron discs fitted on either end—that pile over there looked like weights, right? It had to be, right?
Seeing that Si Si had mostly recovered, Yu Xiaogang continued his analysis, drawing the Elite Class students' attention back to himself.
"Si Si, for your First Soul Ring, I suggest hunting an Azure Water Lotus. The Ribbon Martial Soul has no attribute, after all, so it can add Soul Rings of any attribute. The Soul Ring skills provided by an Azure Water Lotus are generally life recovery and purification skills, and it can also grant your Ribbon Martial Soul a water attribute."
With his hands behind his back, Yu Xiaogang walked over to where the weights were placed and picked one up, weighing it in his hand. Then he turned and returned beneath the shade of the trees to continue the lesson.
"For your Second Soul Ring, Si Si, you can hunt a thousand-year Blue Silver Grass. Its vitality will be even stronger. Blue Silver Grass itself possesses powerful vitality, yet it is weak, so absorbing it won't be a problem as long as your body is strong enough. This way, your Ribbon Martial Soul will gain a wood attribute. Both water and wood attributes are related to life. Once your Martial Soul becomes stronger, it will strengthen your body and soul along with it. Here, I advise all of you that your first and second Soul Rings should preferably match your Martial Soul's attributes. Attack power is only secondary."
"Blue Silver Grass! Would anyone really add a Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring?"
The Elite Class students were all stunned. No one had expected Teacher Yu Xiaogang to have Si Si add a Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring for her second ring. After all, people on the continent had already tried Blue Silver Grass Soul Rings; they only increased one's vitality limit and physical resilience, without granting any offensive skills.
"Teacher Yu Xiaogang! I believe you! I believe in your theoretical knowledge!"
Si Si replied with resolute eyes, unconsciously clenching her fists to encourage herself. She radiated incomparable confidence, and her whole person seemed to glow, leaving Su Yuntao staring in a daze.
Yu Xiaogang saw his student acknowledge his new theory. This was also the first step in his changes upon Douluo Continent. He would definitely change the entire Douluo Continent, beginning with Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy! Beginning with the first batch of Elite Class students! "If you want to absorb soul beast Soul Rings beyond your level, you must strengthen your physical bodies and Mental Power. So, I have already prepared support training equipment for you. In a moment, each of you will wear a weighted vest. Beast Martial Soul Masters will also wear weighted bracelets and anklets. Now start running! You may use Soul Power, but not your Martial Souls."
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang threw the weight in his hand onto the ground. With a bang, it kicked up a cloud of dust. The Elite Class students' eyelids twitched as they stared at the weighted vest that had smashed a shallow pit into the ground. Their teacher thought far too highly of them. The Beast Martial Soul Masters might manage, but the Support Soul Masters were practically ready to curse their mothers! "All right, stop looking so miserable. I have already had Dean Kahn prepare a hot-water bathing room. Once you run yourselves to exhaustion, dedicated teachers will take you to soak in the medicinal baths I prepared to restore your body's foundation. There will be no lasting side effects. It will only be like this the first time. Later training will be kept within what you can endure, and there will be no shortage of medicinal baths."
The Elite Class students dejectedly went one by one to Dean Kahn to collect their weights. Although Teacher Yu Xiaogang said they would receive medicinal baths to recover afterward, they first had to run themselves to exhaustion! "Stop looking like someone died. There are no shortcuts to becoming strong. You are the students of greatest perseverance and talent chosen by Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy. Cheer up! Run beneath the sun! Unleash your youth!"
Yu Xiaogang could not resist feeding the natives of Douluo Continent some inspirational drivel, but the effect was quite good. Especially Wang Dachui, that simple-minded fool—after putting on his weights and hearing Yu Xiaogang's pep talk, he seemed to have been injected with stimulants. Howling, he charged toward the track and began running.
Seeing that muscle-brained fellow, the other students refused to fall behind. They quickly put on their weights one after another and began running. They were geniuses selected from ten thousand, after all! Yu Xiaogang walked to the side of the track and had several teachers bring over lightly salted water and towels. Then he asked Dean Kahn beside him, "Dean Kahn, are there any healing-type teachers here at the academy? We'll need Healing Soul Masters to restore some of the students' strength later, or else we'll have to carry them back one by one. That blockhead Wang Dachui has gotten all the students running at once, and they're burning through their stamina quickly."
After returning Snowball to Yu Xiaogang, Dean Kahn heard him mention Wang Dachui and could not help but feel a headache coming on. "Wang Dachui is the son of the owner of the largest blacksmith shop in Notting City. His father said that when he was young, he was playing in the blacksmith shop and an iron ingot hit him on the head, which is why he's a little slow now."
Yu Xiaogang held Snowball in his arms and scratched beneath the little creature's chin. Hearing Dean Kahn's explanation, his face filled with disbelief. Are you sure it was an iron ingot? Why does he look like he was born this way? Perhaps the father was too embarrassed to admit that his son had been born a simpleton, so he could only make up an excuse for others. In any case, he had already convinced himself.
