As class time began, everyone quieted down, and the teacher arrived in the classroom.
Just as the introduction stated, all the teachers in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Heaven Dou Grade classes were Soul Emperor level experts, and the class teacher was also a level 67 Soul Emperor. When the class teacher entered the classroom, everyone quieted down.
The homeroom teacher, a middle-aged man who appeared to be around 40 years old, said, "Hello everyone, I am the homeroom teacher of Class A of the Heaven Dou Grade. My name is Sun Xiang, my Martial Soul Great Strength Vajra Bear, and I am a level 66 Power Attack System Battle Soul Emperor. I hope everyone will study hard in the future and strive to graduate as soon as possible."
The homeroom teacher, Ms. Sun, gave a rather brief introduction. Then, everyone in the class introduced themselves, and each person reported their Martial Soul and level. Just as Yang Podi had predicted, most were around level 30 to 35, a few were level 35 to 40, and a few reached level 40 or above.
After Yang Podi introduced his Martial Soul and level, everyone understood that Yang Podi was the genius recruited by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy yesterday.
The course content was relatively simple, mostly consisting of cultivation knowledge. For Yang Podi himself, it was better than nothing, but not very useful. He felt it was better to learn at home.
There were three classes in the morning, each lasting an hour. All the teachers were Soul Emperor level experts, but for Yang Podi, Soul Emperor was no longer enough, since his own father was already Soul Douluo.
During breaks, many people would come up to chat with Yang Podi, and even the only Soul Ancestor came to communicate with him, seemingly wanting Yang Podi to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team, but Yang Podi directly refused.
After a morning of classes, Yang Podi went to the cafeteria alone. He felt that the morning's classes were a waste of time and had no practical use for him. He thought it would be better to meditate in his dormitory.
There were no classes scheduled in the afternoon, so the students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy were quite free, especially the Soul Master. They preferred to cultivate rather than attend classes. In the afternoon, almost everyone would head to their favorite simulated environment or make plans to go out for Soul Fighting or sightseeing.
Yang Podi had already notified everyone in his team to gather at Training Ground No. 3 that afternoon.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone had gathered, including Teacher Li, who was assisting them, as well as Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
When everyone gathered, Teacher Li spoke first, "Hello everyone, I am Li Xiang, a level 56 Power Attack System Battle Soul King, with the Martial Soul Black Eagle. From now on, I will be responsible for assisting you with various matters. If you have any questions, you can come to me anytime."
After several exchanges, Yang Podi felt that this Teacher Li had a decent personality. Whether it was introducing the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy on his behalf on the first day or introducing himself now, at least he was genuine and down-to-earth. Anyway, he was just a tool, and wouldn't have any other impact.
After Teacher Li Xiang finished his introduction, all the students reintroduced themselves, especially Ye Lingling, who usually wore a veil and exuded mystery, while Dugu Yan was relatively familiar with everyone, since they had all met in the Breaking Clan.
After everyone introduced themselves, Yang Podi spoke directly, "From today onwards, our team is officially established. As you all know, I'm strict with others, but I'll be even stricter with myself."
"Starting today, each of you will run 50 kilometers with weights every day. Spend the rest of your time meditating. Try to raise your Soul Power to level 25 or higher as soon as possible. My requirement is that you must break through to the Soul Elder level within three years. After you exceed level 25, you must participate in at least one single-player Soul Fighting and one two-player Soul Fighting every day until you obtain the Silver Soul Fighter Medal."
Upon hearing this, everyone present swallowed hard. In terms of Soul Power, the lowest among them Tai Long and Bai Xiaofei, were only level 21. This meant they had to increase their level by 9 within three years, and after reaching level 25, they would have to participate in the Soul Fighting Battle Competition. The intensity was indeed quite high, and the requirements were also quite demanding.
Yang Podi seemed to sense everyone's doubts. "Everyone can rest assured. I already spoke with the three education committee members yesterday, and the academy will provide everyone with medicinal bath materials. As long as you follow my cultivation method, you will definitely reach the Soul Elder realm within three years."
"Besides the 50-kilometer weighted run every afternoon, I will design some other training methods later. The specific amount of exercise will be determined by each person's physical condition. As for the rest of the time, everyone should try to find a suitable ecological environment for meditation and cultivation. The simulated environment of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is very good, and cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort."
Before anyone else could react, Yang Podi spoke directly to Teacher Li Xiang: " Teacher Li, please supervise everyone's exercise routine every day. No one is allowed to take leave without special circumstances. Also, I've applied for medicinal bath and other funds from the academy; please go to the Teacher Li to collect them."
"If any team members faint or encounter other problems during training, please ask Teacher Li Xiang to help them immediately, as I may not be on the training field all the time."
"I've also made a plan for the training ground, which will involve some construction and renovation. I'd appreciate it if you could discuss the details with the college's logistics department Teacher Li."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, he took out a list of requirements and gave it to Teacher Li.
Training field number 3 is quite large, exceeding the size of a football field from his previous life. It is 200 meters long and 100 meters wide. Yang Podi plans to transform it into an obstacle course, setting up artificial obstacles such as fences, railings, puddles, stones, high walls, low barbed wire, log bridges, and low walls. All subsequent weighted running exercises will be conducted within these obstacles, thus training everyone's perseverance, flexibility, and physical endurance.
Obstacle course training draws inspiration from some military training methods from the past, aiming to develop exceptional physical qualities and skills, such as climbing, jumping, and traversing obstacles, while also requiring strong mental resilience and adaptability.
In Yang Podi's view, military training and competitions are often the most practical and effective ways to train people. As long as everyone can adapt to these training sessions, the team's combat effectiveness can basically be formed.
Once everyone has adapted, we can increase the weight and start training other exercises.
In fact, this is also one of Yang Podi's main training programs. By running with weights on obstacles, he can increase his body's flexibility and coordination.
As expected of the heir of the Strength Clan, Tai Long is quite skilled in casting. In just one day, he has cast various load-bearing materials, ranging from a few kilograms to several hundred kilograms.
Ye Lingling, standing to the side, felt a chill run down her spine. As a girl, especially one in a support role, she had never witnessed such a scene before.
Fortunately, Dugu Yan, who was standing nearby, comforted her and prevented her from becoming timid.
