He had prepared his draft well, or rather, he had simply transplanted the management methods from his past life and modified them slightly to suit the realities of the Douluo Continent.
When it came to organizing materials, Qin Yun was as if assisted by the divine.
As his quill glided across the parchment, hundreds of words flowed out with ease.
First was the application proposal for a Student Union to be submitted to the school leadership.
This proposal covered everything from student self-governance and the regulation of rights for self-funded students, to the rectification of dormitory order, the allocation of cultivation resources, external patrols, and detailed disciplinary rules for rule-breaking students...
It was written with clear logic and was utterly airtight.
Yet, Qin Yun knew better than anyone that Nuoding Academy—or rather, all Soul Master Academies on the Douluo Continent—had been plagued by deep-seated problems for far too long.
The school leaders had always been content with the status quo; if this proposal were submitted, it would certainly not be approved at first glance.
But Qin Yun had never expected to succeed on the first try.
He did not want an order that would take effect immediately; he wanted to drive in a nail.
He would wait until his own strength, along with that of Tang San and the others, was revealed step by step, until the Student Union had firmly established its footing.
He would suppress the loose, disorderly, and bullying groups of self-funded students, letting the academy see the benefits brought by order, and making all opponents understand the heavy price of resisting him.
By then, he wouldn't even need to urge them; the school authorities would take the initiative to bow their heads and tacitly consent.
They might even go with the flow and fully implement the proposal.
Having finished all this, Qin Yun did not look back at the documents.
The power struggles within the academy were, to him, merely a minor interlude on the path of cultivation.
In a world of the extraordinary, the true core had always been building one's own foundation of power!
One must never lose the watermelon while picking up sesame seeds!
Without speaking in front of the other work-study students, Qin Yun gave a look and summoned Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Wang Sheng outside.
The atmosphere in the academy garden was solemn, lacking the ease of Dorm Seven.
However, regarding this, aside from the somewhat oblivious Xiao Wu, Tang San and Wang Sheng were more than happy to comply.
After all, big meetings follow small ones, and small meetings follow big ones!
Being able to follow Qin Yun out and become a member of his inner circle already spoke volumes.
Qin Yun sat upright on a stone bench, his gaze sweeping slowly over the three of them.
"From today on, Tang San and Xiao Wu, you are admitted into my Tang Sect and appointed as inner disciples."
Tang San and Xiao Wu were both stunned, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
Needless to say for Tang San, becoming a proper inner disciple of the Tang Sect had almost become his obsession.
Though Xiao Wu was oblivious, she could still sense the weight of this status.
The Star Dou Great Forest believed in the law of the jungle!
Since she had already acknowledged him as her boss, she wouldn't act against him behind his back before she could officially defeat Qin Yun and become "Big Sister Xiao Wu."
His lips moved slightly, and through a soul power transmission, a piece of obscure content was sent into their minds.
"This is the fundamental mental cultivation method of my Tang Sect, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. It contains the internal cultivation method Mysterious Heaven Skill, the movement technique Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, the vision-tempering Purple Demon Eye, the combat technique Crane-Controlling Dragon-Capturing, and various hidden weapon techniques."
"These are the foundations upon which my Tang Sect disciples establish themselves!"
"As inner disciples, you have responsibilities alongside your privileges."
"You must cultivate diligently day and night, and never leak a single word!"
"Sect Master, rest assured. Tang San will certainly not fail your expectations and will make the Tang Sect great once again!"
Although she didn't know why Tang San reacted so strongly, the atmosphere had been set, and the soul power circulation method Qin Yun had just transmitted was indeed extraordinary.
Blinking her large eyes, Xiao Wu also cupped her fists and said.
"Me too!"
Wang Sheng, standing to the side, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with envy, yet he dared not speak.
He came from an ordinary background, his martial soul was just a common tiger, and his innate soul power was a mere level three. Feeling he couldn't compare to Tang San and Xiao Wu, he could only lower his head, his heart filled with trepidation.
Qin Yun's gaze fell upon him, and he spoke indifferently.
"Wang Sheng, join my Tang Sect as an outer disciple. Are you willing?"
Wang Sheng looked up abruptly, his face full of disbelief. Trembling with excitement, he quickly knelt to pay his respects.
"I am willing! Wang Sheng is willing!"
In this day and age, if one had enough talent, one might be able to get into an academy.
But one thing was certain: without blood ties or immense strength, it was absolutely impossible to join a sect!
For an ordinary person like him, being able to join a sect was a stroke of immense luck.
After all, he was bearing the name of Huo Yuhao, and he still had system tasks to complete.
Even if it was somewhat difficult to improve Wang Sheng, Qin Yun still felt quite covetous when he thought about the treasures on Huo Yuhao.
"Your status as an outer sect disciple remains unchanged, but since the Tang Sect is in its infancy and everything is waiting to be done, we cannot mistreat talent.
I can impart the full version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill to you, but for the rest of the Self-Created Soul Skills, you will only receive the basics. If you wish to cultivate higher levels, you must exchange your merits for them.
Rest assured, as long as you remain loyal to the Tang Sect and strictly abide by the sect rules in the future, I will never treat you unfairly."
Hearing these words, Wang Sheng's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He kowtowed heavily, his voice choked with emotion.
"This disciple swears to follow the Sect Master to the death! I would never dare to harbor any disloyal thoughts!"
Regarding a fellow who had ascended to the heavens in a single step like this, Tang San felt some slight resentment, but just as the Sect Master had said.
Considering that the Tang Sect was currently in its infancy, they really had to act according to the circumstances.
[What a lucky guy. Back then, I had to rack my brains just to cultivate!
Forget it, since we are all of the same sect, there is no need to be so petty.
However, they had better truly abide by the rules set by the Sect Master. If they dare to leak the Tang Sect's cultivation techniques, they shouldn't blame me for being ruthless!]
Whether it was Wang Sheng or Xiao Wu, in the eyes of a loyal dog of the Tang Sect, anyone who betrayed the sect was courting death!
Thus, the Tang Sect was initially established with two inner sect members and one outer sect member, and its foundation was laid.
With everything handled properly, another matter of vital importance was placed before Qin Yun.
Counting himself, the core members of the Tang Sect had all reached Soul Power Level 10 and needed to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings.
Although they could suppress their levels, that bit of level difference was not worth mentioning compared to the higher cultivation efficiency.
When it was time to break through, one had to break through in time; otherwise, missing the golden age of cultivation would truly be straying onto the wrong path.
Qin Yun sat on a chair in the garden, analyzing the martial souls and soul ring directions for the three of them one by one.
"Let's start with Wang Sheng.
Your martial soul is the War Tiger, a standard assault-type beast martial soul. Its advantages lie in strength, speed, burst, and physical durability.
In terms of the martial soul itself, there are almost no shortcomings.
But to be a jack-of-all-trades is to be a master of none; in other words, you have no particular strengths to speak of!"
"In this situation, for your first soul ring, you don't need to deliberately pursue comprehensive development; instead, you must make reasonable trade-offs!"
Wang Sheng: "Sect Master, I think I understand a little, but what should I take, and what should I discard?"
"My suggestion is to take the path of extreme offense!"
"The Mysterious Heaven Skill you are cultivating can help you solve the problem of soul power endurance, and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track can fully compensate for your lack of speed.
Therefore, what you need to choose is a high-quality tiger-type soul beast, preferably one with a soul skill that provides a high percentage attribute boost.
Whether it is an all-attribute boost, armor penetration, or critical tearing, you must maximize your assault advantages and follow the path of breaking all laws with a single force.
Such percentage-based soul skills can still be used even when you become a Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, or even a Soul Douluo in the future; it won't be a waste!"
Wang Sheng felt his blood boil as he listened, nodding repeatedly to commit it to memory.
