Chapter 184 Yu Xiaolie's Teaching Philosophy! Yu Xiaogang Interviews at Sivir Academy!
The Blue Tyrant Academy's enrollment work is still in full swing. Thanks to the effective publicity at the ceremony, another batch of commoner soul masters were recruited afterward.

When the enrollment process finally came to a close, the first cohort of students had enrolled more than sixty people.

Although the number of participants is not large, their quality is good, and most of them are ordinary Soul Masters with good talent.

Yu Xiaolie, however, still focused on his cultivation and rarely interfered in the affairs of the academy. He would only visit the academy occasionally and offer some key suggestions.

As for matters such as daily management, they were all entrusted to the fifth elder of the family.

That day, the Fifth Elder respectfully entered Yu Xiaolie's office, carrying a thick stack of teaching plans.

"Young Master, this is the academy's teaching plan. Please take a look."

The Fifth Elder bowed slightly and handed over the proposal.

Yu Xiaolie took it, quickly flipped through a few pages, frowned slightly, and said:
"Elder, the Advanced Soul Master Academy needs to teach something useful."

He raised his finger and pointed to one of the pages, stating unequivocally:
"There's no need to go into the basics of martial souls, like how soul masters are divided into offensive and control types. The students who got in should already know these basic things."

The Fifth Elder was taken aback, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master is right."

Then, Yu Xiaolie turned to the next page and, upon seeing the information about the time limit for absorbing spirit rings, immediately closed the plan and looked up at the Fifth Elder:
"Who said the maximum absorption time for the first spirit ring is 423 years? That's just the Spirit Hall's statistics."

Many factors influence the time required for absorbing a spirit ring. This timeframe can be used as a reference, but it shouldn't be taken as dogma. Rather than limiting students, it's better to teach them how to fish and let them reach their full potential.

The Fifth Elder was somewhat surprised and deeply shocked. Although what Yu Xiaolie said was a bit hard to believe, when he thought of this young master and the abnormal age of his soul rings, he had to admit that he was right.

Immediately, the Fifth Elder replied, "Yes, I will revise it right away."

Yu Xiaolie handed the plan back to him and said calmly:

"What the academy should teach is practical combat, the use of soul power, and combat skills, not these rigid common sense. It is much more useful for teachers to teach according to the individual circumstances of each student than to memorize these theories."

The Fifth Elder nodded repeatedly, making a mental note of it, and then turned and hurriedly left.

In contrast to Yu Xiaolie's measured approach to the academy, Shui Qing'er and A Yin enthusiastically took on the role of academy teachers.

Especially for A-Yin, she was quite happy to be able to spend time with the students.

In the corridor of Blue Tyrant Academy.

A-Yin and Shui-Qing-Er walked side by side, each carrying a lesson plan, quietly discussing today's lesson arrangements.

"Sister Ayin, today's first lesson is a practical exercise. How are you going to divide us into groups?" Shui Qing'er asked, tilting her head.

Ah Yin smiled slightly and said, "Let's divide them according to their soul power level. It's more effective to spar with people of similar strength."

As they were talking, several students walked towards them. Upon seeing them, they immediately stopped and bowed respectfully, saying, "Hello, teachers!"

Shui Qing'er smiled and waved to them, her eyes crinkling with joy: "Good morning, everyone, remember to eat breakfast!"

The trainees nodded with smiles and quickly left, whispering amongst themselves:

"Teacher Qing'er is so gentle..."

"Yes! Ms. Agin is so beautiful!"

Listening to their whispers, Ah Yin shook her head helplessly and continued walking forward with Shui Qing'er.

However, at the corner of the corridor, a cold gaze was fixed on their backs.

Liu Erlong leaned against the wall, her face terribly gloomy. Watching Shui Qing'er and A Yin being surrounded by the students, the fire of jealousy in her heart almost burst forth.

"Captain, all the trash has been collected, look..."

A cleaning lady standing next to Liu Erlong cautiously stepped forward to offer a reminder.

Liu Erlong suddenly turned his head, glaring at her fiercely:
"I know, I know! How annoying!"

The cleaning lady was so frightened that she took two steps back and dared not say another word.

Liu Erlong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger. He raised his hand and waved it, and a ball of blazing flame shot out from his palm, instantly burning the pile of garbage to ashes.

……

On the other hand, the defeat in Tianshui City was a huge blow to Yu Xiaogang, but he did not give up.

He believed that the Tianshui Phoenix Clan, as an old and established family, had its own set of understandings of martial spirits, and their thinking was outdated, making them unable to accept the advanced knowledge he had learned from the Spirit Hall.

Immediately afterward, Yu Xiaogang tidied himself up and embarked on his job search once again.

Half a month later, Yu Xiaogang, weary from his journey, arrived in Xiweier City.

This city was even more prosperous than Tianshui City, with people coming and going on the streets and caravans coming and going in an endless stream.

Yu Xiaogang stood in front of a college gate, looking up at the information board at the entrance:

"The Hill Advanced Soul Master Academy, wholly funded by the Xivier Merchant Guild, aims to train soul masters to serve the kingdom and the guild..."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. He straightened his clothes and walked in with great interest.

When the college receptionist saw him enter, she politely asked, "Hello, may I help you?" Yu Xiaogang straightened his back and said respectfully, "I'm here to apply for a teaching position. This is my resume."

As he spoke, he handed over a sheet of paper, densely covered with personal information.

The receptionist glanced at it and saw that the largest font on the resume read:

Yu Xiaogang, a theoretical master in the world of spirit masters, has been professionally researching spirit knowledge for thirty years...

The receptionist frowned slightly, but still said politely:

"Please wait a moment, I will go and inform the dean."

Not long after, the receptionist returned and said with a smile, "The director invites you in."

Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and quickly followed him to the dean's office.

Pushing open the door, he saw a burly man sitting behind the desk, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. It was none other than Yu Xiaolie's good brother: Martin.

Martin looked up at Yu Xiaogang's familiar features, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "You're the one applying for the teaching position?"

Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and introduced himself:
"Hello, I am Yu Xiaogang, a theoretical Soul Master, known as a 'Master' in the Soul Master world."

"Yu Xiaogang?"

Martin was taken aback, then his eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's your relationship with Yu Xiaolie?"

Yu Xiaogang's heart sank. He couldn't understand why everyone he met along the way asked about Yu Xiaolie, and why their tone became noticeably warmer after hearing Yu Xiaolie's name.

From the far north to the Skywater Academy, and even to this Kingdom of Sivir, no one is an exception.

Despite feeling slightly uncomfortable, Yu Xiaogang forced a smile:
"He's my brother."

Upon hearing this, Martin immediately became enthusiastic, stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Oh my, so you're Xiao Lie's older brother! I should have recognized you sooner. Come, come, let's sit down and chat!"

Martin poured him a cup of tea and asked with great interest:

"What kind of teaching do you specialize in?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang felt that there was hope this time, and said with great interest:
"I study martial spirit theory, especially spirit ring absorption and martial spirit characteristics. My 'Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirit' has a considerable influence in the world of spirit masters."

Martin nodded and said, "That sounds good. Could you elaborate?"

Yu Xiaogang immediately began to speak eloquently:

"For example, there is a certain probability of mutation during the awakening of a martial soul. In most cases, the quality of the martial soul will become weaker, but in a few cases, it will become stronger..."

Martin's initially expectant gaze gradually turned to doubt, and he then interrupted Yu Xiaogang, saying:
"Wait a minute, aren't these... common knowledge in the world of Soul Masters?"

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback: "Common sense?"

Martin scratched his head and replied, "Yeah, any high-level Soul Master knows these theories. Our academy's teachers teach practical combat skills and the use of Soul Power. You..."

Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened, and he hurriedly explained, "My theory is not limited to these, but also includes simulated environments, soul ring combinations, and the selection of soul bones..."

Martin became increasingly uneasy as he listened, and finally raised his hand to interrupt:
"Stop, stop, stop. You can't teach students what you're saying without rich practical experience. You look quite young. May I ask what your soul power level is?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale. He said somewhat helplessly, "Dean, I don't think soul power level represents everything. You should focus on my theoretical research..."

"Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush!" Martin interrupted again, sounding impatient.

Seeing that there was no way out and he could only give a sham answer, Yu Xiaogang could only reply tremblingly: "I have a malignant mutation of my martial soul, and I will never be able to break through level 30 in this lifetime... To be honest, I can only cultivate to level 29 in this lifetime."

Martin was stunned for a few seconds upon hearing this.

Finally, he sighed and looked at Yu Xiaogang with some helplessness: "I thought you were Xiao Lie's older brother, and that your strength should be quite good. I didn't expect you to have a mutated martial soul. What a pity..."

Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale instantly. He clenched his fists, his voice trembling slightly:

"You...what do you mean?"

Martin shrugged and said bluntly, "Sorry, what our academy needs are teachers who can teach in practice, not just those who can talk about theory."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up and angrily said, "What do you know! My theory is a treasure of the Soul Master world!"

Martin frowned, and his tone turned cold:

"A treasure? I've been struggling for decades, how come I've never heard of you in the world of Soul Masters?"
You call yourself a master, yet you're not even a Soul Master. What right do you have to teach others? Would students be willing to entrust their prime cultivation years, before the age of thirty, to you as an experiment?

Yu Xiaogang fell silent. Martin's words pierced his heart. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. His face turned bright red.

Martin shook his head, stood up and said, "I won't make things difficult for you since you're Brother Xiao Lie. Please go back."

Upon hearing Yu Xiaolie's name, Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had been hit hard on the head, his head buzzing.

It's Yu Xiaolie again...

He's not making things difficult for me out of respect for Yu Xiaolie?!
What did Yu Xiaolie do during those years of traveling?
Why do I feel like I'm living in his shadow no matter where I go?
