Star Crown Martial Soul
He was one of the few students in the class with Food-type Martial Soul.
However, apart from a few food-type Soul Master, most of the other students' attention had begun to wander.
The role of a food-type Soul Master, simply put, is to stand at the back of the team, creating food supplies for the team under the protection of their teammates.
They weren't allowed to fight, they weren't allowed to charge, and even during retreats, they were carried by their teammates.
In the Martial Soul Academy, which reveres strength, this is not a very "cool" direction.
Most students are Power Attack System, agile, or control-type Battle Soul Master. What they want to learn is how to defeat their opponents with strength, not how to produce sausages, cabbages, bread, etc., from the rear of the battlefield.
A boy sitting in the fourth row held his textbook up to cover his face, his head nodding as he started to doze off.
The girl next to him propped her chin on her elbow, staring blankly at the blackboard, her lips slightly parted, her soul clearly having drifted off to poetry and distant lands.
A boy was standing by the window, head down, drawing little figures in the blank space of his textbook. He had already filled a whole page with drawings of two little figures fighting with swords, and they were drawn quite realistically.
Shao Xin glanced at the students below the stage, sighed, but did not stop.
He turned around and drew a map of a seven-man squad's positions on the blackboard, marking the last row with chalk.
"The standard position for a food-type Soul Master is at the very back of the team, alongside or slightly behind support-type Soul Master. Why?"
Qian Renxue raised her hand.
Shao Xin said, "Lin Xue, what do you say?"
"Because the survival of food-type characters is directly related to the team's overall survivability."
"Every second that a food-type character survives gives the team a better chance to turn the tide..."
Qian Renxue spoke eloquently, having witnessed far too many team battles lost in her past life due to neglecting food-type Soul Master.
A Soul Master who can provide a restorative food at a crucial moment is sometimes more important than an offensive Battle Soul Master.
The battle isn't about who fights the fiercest, it's about who stands the last one standing.
"Good answer, please have a seat."
As soon as Qian Renxue sat down, the girl in front of her suddenly turned to the side and tilted her head back.
"Your name is Lin Xue, right?"
Yes, and you?
"My name is Xu Huanhuan."
Are you Battle Soul Master?
"I am Battle Soul Master, and my Martial Soul is a sword."
Xu Huanhuan's eyes showed envy, and she let out a soft "wow".
"I really envy you. I'm a support class, and I've always felt insecure."
Qian Renxue looked at her and asked, "What is your Martial Soul?"
"I don't know if you've heard of it, but my Martial Soul is the Star Crown."
Star Crown.
Qian Renxue suddenly realized. The Star Crown Martial Soul was the inherited Martial Soul of the Xu Family of the Star Luo Empire, one of the top-tier support and control-type Martial Soul.
The Xu family, possessing the Star Crown Martial Soul, has guarded the Star Luo Empire Star Observatory for the Xu Family and is one of the most trusted Soul Master families of the Star Luo Imperial Family.
But Xu Huanhuan —her surname is Xu, Martial Soul is Star Crown —is sitting in a classroom at the Martial Soul Academy.
Qian Renxue didn't ask. Everyone has their own story, and not all stories are suitable to be told at the first meeting.
"Your home is in the Star Luo Empire?"
"You know about the Star Crown Martial Soul? A lot of people have never even heard of it."
"I saw it in a book. In Volume 7 of <The Martial Soul Illustrated Handbook>, the chapter on support-type Martial Soul has a whole page dedicated to Star Crown."
"I see. It seems your family is quite wealthy, you even have books to read."
"It's alright, my family runs a general store."
Just as Xu Huanhuan was about to continue speaking, a soft cough came from the podium.
Shao Xin took the pointer and tapped it on the podium.
"Students in the back, be quiet."
Upon hearing this, Xu Huanhuan quickly shrank back into her seat, placed her hands back on the table, straightened her back, and pretended to be listening attentively the whole time.
Qian Renxue smiled helplessly, then looked away and returned her gaze to the blackboard.
Just as the bell rang to signal the end of class, Shao Xin was explaining the last key point of "the rearguard strategy for food-type Soul Master during retreat."
He tossed the chalk into the chalk box on the podium and dusted off the white powder from his hands.
"That concludes today's lesson. Remember what I just said—food-type Soul Master are not a burden to the team, but rather its second life."
"If anyone leaves a food-type Soul Master at the back and runs away again in Simulation team battle, don't blame me for giving you a failing grade."
After saying that, he picked up his lesson plan from the podium and walked out of the classroom.
The moment the door closed, the classroom seemed to be switched on, transforming from a silent space into a bustling marketplace.
