Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 36: Weak Mindset
Qibao Glazed Sect. The meeting hall.

Ning Fengzhi was handling sect affairs as usual. At this time, a young man in white tights slowly came in front of Ning Fengzhi and saluted respectfully.

"What happened to Rongrong again?" Ning Fengzhi did not raise his head, still focusing on the sect affairs in front of him.

"Master, Miss Rongrong is fine, but she has some important information to report to you." said the young man in white suit.

"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi raised his head slowly with some curiosity and put down the feather pen in his hand.

Then, the young man took out a scroll from his soul guide and presented it respectfully.

Ning Fengzhi took it slowly, opened the scroll and read it carefully. As Ning Fengzhi read more, his originally calm eyes began to fluctuate violently. When he finished reading the entire scroll, Ning Fengzhi let out a long sigh, indicating his shocked heart.

The scroll contained the conversation between Ning Rongrong and Shi Yi that day, without even missing a single word.

Ning Fengzhi slowly calmed down his emotions, trying not to appear too excited, and said to the sect disciple waiting in front of him: "I'll give you credit for this matter, but don't spread it for now. Let me verify it with the sect elders before making any plans. I want to know about any conversations between Rongrong and this child in the future."

The young man in white said excitedly: "Yes!"

Ning Fengzhi smiled warmly at the young man, nodded slightly to show his approval, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please leave."

Then the young man in white slowly and respectfully left the hall.

Not long after, a vague voice rang out in the hall, and there was a hint of urgency in the vague voice, "Feng Zhi, has something happened to Rongrong? It makes you so excited."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi could no longer suppress his inner joy, and his warm face was full of smiles.

"No, Uncle Gu, Rongrong is fine and has made a good friend. You can also come and take a look at this and help me with some advice." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile and shook the scroll in his hand.

At this time, in the void, along with the emergence of soul power fluctuations, the void began to distort, and the figure of an old man appeared above the void. He stepped on the void and came to Ning Fengzhi with a hint of urgency.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and handed over the scroll in his hand. Gu Rong took it and began to read slowly. As Gu Rong read more, ripples appeared in his calm eyes.

Gu Rong nodded affirmatively while reading, "This boy named Shi Yi is not bad. Compared with those who only talk about theories, he has provided many practical methods. Feng Zhi, I think we should bring Rongrong back and let Rongrong try these methods. Rongrong has a good talent. Maybe we can really see the eighth and ninth colored lights."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, and smiled warmly, "Uncle Gu, don't you think it would be better to let the people who came up with these theories implement these methods? Besides, if Rongrong comes back, are you and Uncle Jian willing to let Rongrong suffer through training?"

Seeing that his little trick was exposed, Gu Rong showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and continued: "The conditions outside are not as good as those in the sect..."

"Uncle Gu, I have a feeling that Rongrong will be very different when she comes back next time." Ning Fengzhi said slowly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Gu Rong snorted and said, "I just hope Rongrong can make some progress as you said."

A trace of helplessness flashed across Ning Fengzhi's face, he smiled slightly and stopped talking.

On the other side, on the country road from Soto City to Shrek Academy, Shi Yi, who had just returned to the academy, saw the Shrek people carrying baskets for physical training.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. You all seem to be in good spirits." Shi Yi said with a smile as he looked at the panting Shrek people.

"You... stop talking nonsense here... hurry up and help me share some of the burden." Ning Rongrong said to Shi Yi breathlessly.

"That's it..." Oscar also panted.

Compared to others, Shrek's two assistants obviously exercised the least. Even though Shi Yi had been away for so many days, they were still far from enough in terms of endurance training.

"I'm a teacher, how can I help you cheat? Try your best. Endurance and willpower are exactly what you lack as auxiliary soul masters." Shi Yi looked at Ning Rongrong and Oscar and chuckled.

In fact, in Shi Yi's mind, the weighted long-distance running event is only suitable for the two auxiliary soul masters Ning Rongrong and Oscar. As for the others, instead of letting the other five people accompany the two assistants for long-distance running, it would be better to have special training for better results.

"What's the so-called team spirit?" Shi Yi secretly shook his head in his heart.

Yu Xiaogang has a fatal flaw as a teacher, and that is the weak mentality. The so-called team complementarity is always something that only the weak need. The strong are always lonely and have to constantly overcome their own weaknesses to climb up.

This kind of training is based on this concept, but training such as weighted long-distance running will never be suitable for every Shrek student.

For example, Dai Mubai, Shi Yi believes that as a strong attacking soul master, Dai Mubai has not even fully utilized the power of the White Tiger. Increasing his strength and improving his control over the strength are what he should do. As for endurance, Shi Yi believes that any kind of training can enhance a person's endurance from the side during long-term exercise.

"Senior Brother..." Tang San also greeted Shi Yi while panting, bringing Shi Yi's thoughts back to reality.

Shi Yi nodded slightly and chuckled, "Do your best."

Tang San nodded slightly, and the Shrek people followed Tang San and ran past Shi Yi. Ning Rongrong even glared at Shi Yi.

Shi Yi smiled and walked towards Shrek. Soon, he saw Shrek's teachers sitting on rocking chairs with a big tent set up above them to provide shade.

"Hello, teachers." Shi Yi walked forward and greeted them with a smile.

The teachers raised their heads and nodded slightly in response. It was obvious that the reason they were here was to take turns supervising the Shrek people.

"Teacher." Shi Yi greeted Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "You're back. You saw the training of those kids just now, right? What do you think?"

"I just got back and you're planning to exploit me?" Shi Yi said unhappily.

"So you also want to participate in such training tomorrow?" Yu Xiaogang, who knew Shi Yi's character well, said lightly.

Hearing this, Shi Yi showed a helpless look on his face and said, "What can I say? I can only say it's okay. At least I didn't waste my time."

The teachers at Shrek looked at Shi Yi in surprise. They had seen the progress of the Shrek people in recent days. "Do you have a better training method?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and said calmly.

"It's not a better training method, but you need to change your mindset." Shi Yi said softly.

"Oh?" Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi, and a hint of expectation appeared in his slightly turbid eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, you plan to use the fusion flow to create a perfect team." Shi Yi said to Yu Xiaogang.

A gleam of light flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes and he nodded slightly.

Shi Yi smiled, shook his head and said, "I won't talk about whether the concept of fusion flow can make this team perfect, but it definitely limits their personal development. Teacher, only the weak will huddle together for warmth, while the strong will constantly overcome difficulties through their own efforts. There is actually no truly perfect answer to cultivation, because the hands of the strong are big enough, they can often grab more things, and the soul master only has one thing to do, which is to make his hands bigger. The same training can certainly unite them for a short time, but the real difficulties can often only be faced by one person. Do you think I'm right? Just like you are alone in Nottingham."

After hearing Shi Yi's words, Shrek's teachers also fell into deep thought.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi with a complicated expression. Flanders, the dean, sighed and said, "Indeed, Xiaoyi, real difficulties can only be faced by one person. You said it well."

Flanders was deeply touched. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't bring Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang together. Obviously, such a difficulty was not something that he, as a friend, could help him with. Yu Xiaogang needed to overcome the hurdle in his heart on his own.

"The talents of Shrek's students are among the best in the entire continent. What they need is teaching according to their aptitude and long-distance running with weights to train the soul masters' endurance and willpower. This is very suitable for Ning Rongrong and Oscar, but not for others. I just observed that except for the two auxiliary soul masters, the combat soul masters have been in battle for a long time and do not have any major problems with endurance and fighting will. What they need is other things." Shi Yi continued.

"Starting tomorrow, I will assign Zhu Zhuqing to you. I hope you can show me different results." Yu Xiaogang said, staring at Shi Yi.

Shi Yi smiled slightly. He naturally understood what Yu Xiaogang meant. Among so many Shrek students, Zhu Zhuqing was the only one with the highest obedience. If Shi Yi were to lead the others, the others might not necessarily listen to him. This was also giving Shi Yi a chance to prove himself.

Shi Yi chuckled and said, "You can train her, but you have to think it through. If you accept my training, the Netherworld White Tiger martial soul fusion skill may be gone."

Yu Xiaogang frowned upon hearing this and said, "What does training have to do with martial soul fusion skills?"

"As the owner of the martial soul fusion skill, you should understand what the most critical part of the martial soul fusion skill is. The requirements for the birth of the martial soul fusion skill are very harsh. Not only does it require a high degree of compatibility between the martial souls of the soul masters, but it also requires a very high degree of spiritual connection between them. This kind of spiritual connection is not just a simple cooperation and tacit understanding, but requires very deep trust and tacit understanding between the soul masters. If one day the civet cat surpasses the white tiger, do you think the martial soul fusion skill will be born? This is why the royal family is the Dai family and not the Zhu family." Shi Yi chuckled.

"Can your training achieve this effect? ​​Besides, Mu Bai is not so narrow-minded." Yu Xiaogang said slowly.

"Let me train Zhu Zhuqing. It will be easy for her to defeat Dai Mubai after she breaks through to Soul Master. As for her mind..." Shi Yi chuckled.

Flanders on the side just pushed his glasses silently, while Zhao Wuji showed embarrassment on his face.

"Dragons are proud by nature, but tigers are not bad either." Shi Yi chuckled.

Yu Xiaogang showed hesitation on his face. If he really let the two of them harbor resentment, without the Netherworld White Tiger, wouldn't that mean they would have no way to survive?

"I think it would be better for you to ask Zhuqing tomorrow. Some things still need to be made clear. It's not a good deal if you rush to do something." Shi Yi said calmly.

Flanders nodded and said, "That makes sense. Now that Xiao Yi is back, we can ask him tomorrow."

Yu Xiaogang nodded, and then Shi Yi said to everyone: "I'm a little tired these days, I'll go back and rest first, you guys go ahead and get busy."

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly towards Shi Yi, and Shi Yi left under the gazes of several people.

Flanders looked at Shi Yi's back and chuckled, "Xiaogang, why do I feel like you didn't come here to cure this kid, but you were cured by him instead."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face showed some unnaturalness. Looking at Shi Yi's back, he sighed and said, "Although I am Xiaoyi's teacher, he has already surpassed me in theoretical research. Sometimes I even doubt whether there are really people in this world who are born with knowledge."

At night, after dinner, Shi Yi began his daily meditation practice.

Shi Yi was lost in meditation, secretly surprised when he felt the situation in his body was very different from before.

Shi Yi had not meditated since absorbing the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. While meditating today, he unexpectedly discovered that the meridians in his body not only became tougher as his body strength increased, but also wider. More importantly, the meridians in his body were connected, and there was an additional meridian that Shi Yi had never reached before.

"It seems that one of the eight extraordinary meridians has been opened. Judging from the route, this should be the Chong meridian. It seems that I will be busy in the future. I can start to incorporate the newly appeared meridian into the internal energy circulation and try to find a new and more efficient energy exercise route." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

Then, Shi Yi spent the whole night practicing Qigong, modifying the route, practicing Qigong again, and modifying the route again in a cycle.

Until the sound of roosters crowing was heard in the village, Shi Yi subconsciously looked towards the sky through the window, and the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Shi Yi put away the stack of data not far in front of him, washed up simply, and started running around the village as usual.

Shi Yi was running, and soon he saw two familiar figures in front of him. They were Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Good morning, both of you." Shi Yi greeted them with a smile.

"Good morning." Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Shi Yi and spoke sparingly. Dai Mubai's face was slightly gloomy. He had finally gotten up early and wanted to cultivate his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing alone, but it was ruined by Shi Yi.

However, Shi Yi was not a tactless person. Seeing that Dai Mubai did not respond, he just smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you two."

After saying that, Shi Yi controlled his strength and breathing, and suddenly accelerated, leaving the two behind.

Zhu Zhuqing felt Shi Yi's explosive speed and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face. They had only seen Xiao Yi's fighting ability, but seemed to know nothing about Shi Yi himself.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing also quickened her pace. She has always been a person who refuses to admit defeat. She wanted to see if her speed could catch up with Shi Yi.

Dai Mubai looked at the two figures going away in front of him, gritted his teeth and burst out at full speed to catch up with them.
