First Day of School

Before long, Yang Xiong had drawn up a training plan for himself. Since he was only six years old and could not use weighted training at all, he mainly focused on ordinary exercises.

These exercises were primarily running. In Yang Xiong's eyes, running was the ideal form of training. It could improve his speed, sharpen his reflexes, and even build his stamina.

Other exercises included lifting small barbells, using small dumbbells to train his muscles, pull-ups, push-ups, and the like. There was also swimming. None of these exercises were particularly complicated, and they were manageable for a six-year-old.

His mornings were still mainly spent reading. In his previous life, he had only read the Douluo novels and watched the anime. Only after truly arriving in the Douluo World had he understood just how vast and profound this world was.

The Douluo World not only possessed a dazzling variety of Martial Souls, but those Martial Souls also came in all kinds of strange forms. Some even defied the laws of science and could produce heaven-defying effects in certain situations.

Soul Beasts were even more diverse. Soul Beasts of different ages underwent different physical changes, and they could be identified through their physical characteristics.

However, the books in his home were limited after all, and their explanations of these things were far from complete. Only the sect itself likely possessed a greater variety of books.

The afternoons were Yang Xiong's true training time. Every afternoon, he trained without pause until he had pushed his physical strength to its limit, draining every last bit of energy and sweat from himself. Only once he was utterly exhausted did he begin soaking in a Medicinal Bath.

From that day onward, Yang Xiong also had an attendant following him around. It was Li Shen's son, Liu Yu.

Liu Yu looked to be in his twenties and stood around 1.8 meters tall. He had likely trained quite a bit before, since he had once worked in the Patrol Team, a job that required a certain level of combat ability.

Unfortunately, although Liu Yu had awakened a Martial Soul, he possessed no Innate Soul Power and had no chance at all of becoming a Soul Master. He could only do ordinary work.

At the Yang Family, he served as both a guard and someone who attended to Yang Xiong's daily needs, while also handling errands and preparations.

Every afternoon, Liu Yu would generally prepare Yang Xiong's Medicinal Bath in advance. He also had to keep watch during Yang Xiong's training to prevent him from overtraining and developing any problems.

Yang Xiong himself did not care if someone learned his training methods. These were merely simple exercises; the truly useful things were still far in the future.

Besides, Liu Yu had once been his father's subordinate and was absolutely trustworthy. Otherwise, Yang Lin would not have brought him into the household.

Ever since he began using Medicinal Baths and strengthening his body, his meditation speed seemed to have increased slightly every night. Although he still could not compare to those geniuses with Top-Grade Martial Souls, it seemed to grow faster day by day as his training intensified.

A full half month passed before it was finally almost time to start school.

That day, under Yang Lin's personal guidance, Yang Xiong came to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's school for the first time. It was also where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect trained all of its disciples.

The entire school looked enormous. Although it only taught ordinary low-level Soul Masters, it covered several hundred mu of land. The buildings within the academy were especially grand, and there were even quite a few small arenas.

According to Yang Lin, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect invested heavily in education. Not only did it arrange knowledgeable Soul Masters as teachers, but it also had specialists responsible for training in various subjects. Even security was handled with exceptional rigor.

All students between the ages of six and fifteen studied at the school. Of course, a small number would attend an Advanced Soul Master Academy between the ages of twelve and fifteen. Like his eldest brother Yang Wei, who had reached Level 21 at the age of twelve, their father had used his connections to send him to an Advanced Soul Master Academy in Heaven Dou City.

The sect had also gone to great lengths for these children. It was said that it raised quite a few decent low-level Soul Beasts that were easy to manage, all so students could absorb Soul Rings as soon as possible.

Naturally, those Soul Beasts were relatively ordinary and did not include any top-grade varieties. Their cultivation ranged from one hundred to six hundred years, which was why disciples of the sect could generally obtain a hundred-year First Soul Ring.

If someone possessed a special Martial Soul or required a particular type of Soul Beast, the sect even had its own Soul Beast Forest. That was something only a great sect could accomplish.

Yang Xiong was assigned to First Grade Class One. When he entered the classroom, quite a few children were already chatting with one another, and the entire room buzzed with endless chatter.

An Old Man who looked exceptionally stern sat on the podium reading a book. He was clearly the Class Teacher of this class.

Yang Xiong casually found a seat near the back and sat down. Considering both his past and present ages, he had no interest in interacting too much with a group of six-year-olds, much less having any common topics with them.

Just as class was about to begin, several people entered from outside the classroom. Among them was a refined middle-aged man with a face like polished jade. He looked to be around forty, and every gesture he made carried an air of elegance. Behind him stood an elderly man with white hair and beard. Although his hair was entirely white, his skin was as tender as a baby's, and he wore a spotless snow-white robe.

Yang Xiong was startled when he saw them. He had not expected such important figures to attend a mere elementary school opening.

These two were clearly Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, the true pillars of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

There was also a Little Girl beside Ning Fengzhi. Her features were exceptionally delicate, and dressed like a little princess, she looked utterly adorable.

The teacher who had been sitting on the podium reading hurriedly stood upon seeing the group and bowed with great respect. "Greetings, Sect Master. Greetings, Sword Elder."

All the students also stood respectfully. "Greetings, Sect Master. Greetings, Sword Elder."

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo held incomparably lofty status. They could be said to be the faith of everyone in the sect.

Ning Fengzhi gave a slight wave of his hand. "There is no need to be so nervous. I mainly came today to bring Rongrong here for school. From now on, you may all treat Rongrong as one of your own family."

"You are the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I hope you cultivate diligently and become pillars of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as soon as possible."

The students became extremely excited upon hearing this. It was likely their first time seeing such important figures.

Unexpectedly, after Ning Rongrong found a seat and sat down, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo also found seats in the classroom and sat down, appearing completely casual throughout.

Once class began, the Class Teacher spoke first. "Students, I am the Class Teacher of First Grade Class One, and I will be responsible for your studies from now on. My name is Lin Gong. My Martial Soul is bamboo, and I am a Level 54 Support Type Soul King."

"Today is the first day, so let us first get to know the classmates around us. From now on, you will all live and study together."
