Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy (I)

"So-called cultivation is nothing more than a process of taking control of oneself."

"If you break down the self, it's nothing more than body and soul."

"In other words, cultivation is the process by which humans, who are not born with perfect control over their body and soul, acquire control over their body and soul. In this process, the difficulty of controlling the body is equal to the difficulty of controlling the soul. The body is to the soul what clothes are to the body; they are both protection and something that is integrated with the skin. Neither can be missing."

"A myriad of strange and random thoughts, End Realm."

"The five senses, so captivating, are indispensable."

"It's unclear what it is that can remain completely free from distractions, untouched by worldly affairs, and steadfast in its fundamental nature, but it certainly isn't human. Because to achieve all of the above is to reach a level that no living being can attain: detachment from emotions and desires, driven by absolute rational wisdom. However, when the reasons that drive one forward are also filled with rationality, the extinguished emotions determine that such a thing is destined for self- God of Destruction and will lose its value."

"Reason determines the lower limit of any living being."

"Emotion determines the upper limit of any living being."

Sun Moon Empire, Mingdu.

Inside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy.

A seemingly harmless girl, dressed in a teacher's uniform and wearing glasses, closed her textbook and announced to the top students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy in advance, "Class dismissed!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the melodious bell rang.

Precise to the minute and second.

Even timing yourself might not be this accurate.

"Goodbye... teacher..."

Inside the classroom, the students belonging to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy seemed to have long been accustomed to the peculiar teaching style of their teacher, who looked no older than them.

He drew out the words and replied slowly.

Only then did he begin to pack up his textbooks.

But while packing up the textbooks, complaining about the teacher's habit of never extending class time became another habit after the previous slogan. "Teacher Ju Zi's research on Soul Master is indeed the best in our Sun Moon Empire, but this habit of never extending class time... is not good. Moreover, he usually leaves as soon as class ends. Even if you have questions, you can only ask them in the next class. With only one class a week, you can't get individual answers at all."

"There's nothing we can do about it..." Hearing the student's complaint, Xiao Hongchen shook his head. "Senior Sister Ju Zi is originally a student of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy. Her talent isn't particularly outstanding, and she also has to complete Teacher Xuan Ziwen's classes on weekdays. The fact that she can take the time to share her research results is ultimately because of the salary and benefits that our Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy provides to its teachers. We can't let her neglect her own studies to help other students, can we?"

"That's true."

A student sitting in the back row of Xiao Hongchen nodded.

Even during breaks, there's no need to worry about disrupting class order, "I heard that there was a theoretical Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang in the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago. His talent wasn't very good. Teacher Ju Zi's talent... well, it can't be said to be particularly bad, but it's just average. It certainly can't compare to Teacher Ju Zi's amazing theoretical talent. It's not wrong for Teacher Ju Zi to focus on learning and cultivation."

"You underestimate Senior Ju Zi..." Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, who were not only deskmates but also siblings, put their notebooks into their Storage Soul Tool and disagreed with the stranger's statement. "Yu Xiaogang's reputation as a theoretical Grandmaster stems from having a Deity disciple; just as Shrek Academy is known as the number one academy on the entire continent, and the Shrek Seven Devils have always been able to suppress the top students of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy because Shrek Academy has cultivated seven Deity students, possessing astonishing foundations; although Senior Ju Zi's talent isn't particularly high, her research findings published in the Sun Moon Royal Academic Research Weekly a few days ago have provided a completely new approach to soul guidance research..."

"I know!"

When the topic of the research journal came up, several students nearby immediately became interested.

This is a new academic trend promoted by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy.

If students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy are unaware of their academy's great achievements, they are truly failing.

Moreover, after years of development, the Sun Moon Royal Academic Research Weekly has gradually expanded from being geared towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy to being geared towards all Soul Tool Master Academies within the Sun Moon Empire.

Advanced Soul Tool Master from all over the country published their thoughts in the research weekly.

Various kinds of wisdom and creativity collide here.

Subsequently, the Sun Moon Empire would select outstanding or feasible research findings from the weekly publications and compile them into monthly, quarterly, and annual journals. These journals have now become essential reading for guiding the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Technology trends, and they have certainly read them.

Therefore, they all crowded around, offering their explanations. "Our teachers all said that Senior Ju Zi's paper was an idea only a genius could come up with; it broke free from the limitations of cumbersome magic arrays. Although it requires extremely high precision in the Soul Tool Master's control of Soul Power, the rune path that emerges from the magic array provides infinite possibilities for the upper limit of Soul Tool... Originally, a Soul Tool core could only be inscribed with one type of magic array. Now, although a Soul Tool core can still only be inscribed with one type of magic array, individual runes can be added outside of the magic array. No wonder Ju Zi was nominated as one of the top ten outstanding youth representatives of the Sun Moon Empire. I heard the results have already been announced!"

Xiao Hongchen has no interest in listening to such meaningless talk.

All meaningless praise is devoid of substance.

His admiration for this Ju Zi student's wisdom does not Ju Zi he wants to praise her like others. He would rather use his own wisdom and talent to defeat her than submit to her brilliance and worship her.

Meng Hongchen understands her brother's personality.

With his hands behind his back, he followed behind Xiao Hongchen.

I left the classroom, following the bustling flow of students leaving class.

But it happened in the instant he stepped out the door.

But she unexpectedly saw a figure.

She raised an eyebrow in surprise, then turned her head and said, "Brother... I'm going to see a friend. If you're going to eat in the cafeteria again, you don't need to bring me anything."

"Friend?" Xiao Hongchen was taken aback. As siblings, he knew exactly what friends Meng Hongchen had, and Meng Hongchen knew exactly what friends he had. The sudden appearance of an unknown friend immediately made him think of other possibilities, "Male or female?"

"Of course it's a woman!" Meng Hongchen knew what Xiao Hongchen Xiao Hongchen expression. "To be precise, it's a pen pal... Actually, you should remember, when we were seven, Grandpa took us to the beach, and you were the one who found that message in a bottle. At the time, you said: 'It must be a message in a bottle thrown out by someone who was shipwrecked and wanted help.' Later, you realized it wasn't; it was a letter asking for a friend. You thought it was boring, so you gave the bottle to me. Now, do you remember?"

"Wait!" Xiao Hongchen looked shocked, then bewildered. "You really believed it... No, no, no, that's not the most important thing. The important thing is: when did you become pen pals with that person? How come I didn't know?"

"It was just a letter..." Meng Hongchen's confusion and bewilderment left Xiao Hongchen speechless. "Besides, I didn't expect to get a response to that letter. I sent it to the address on the drifting letter and it was sent to the Dou Ling Empire. It had been over three months without a word. I thought it was over, so I didn't tell you, lest you laugh at me. But unexpectedly, during the summer vacation, there really was a letter sent from the Dou Ling Empire to the Mingdu Post Office. The Mingdu Post Office notified me to pick it up. Anyway, that's about it. She showed me her photo, and I also mailed her my photo, so I was able to recognize her at a glance... But if I'm wrong, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
