Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 29: Liyue Academy

The receptionist was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties. After looking Beibei and the other two up and down, she said, "I think the three of you are under twenty years old, right?"

Hearing this, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao nodded. Bei Bei, the oldest among them, was only fifteen or sixteen years old, so it was impossible for her to be over twenty.

Upon seeing this, the receptionist continued, "If you wish to become stronger, the three of you may visit our Liyue Academy. It was founded by the God of War and is an academy invested in by the Seven Stars of Liyue and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School."

At this point, the receptionist paused, then continued, "Unlike Soul Master Academy, Liyue Academy not only teaches Soul Masters, but also imparts survival skills to ordinary people."

“There are wealthy businessmen talking about the ways of doing business, chefs talking about the art of cooking, and so on…”

"Liyue Academy has everything you need, and it's free for any resident of Liyue!"

After saying this, the "big sister" looked proud, as if she were honored.

She was also a member of Liyue Academy, studying etiquette and mathematics. To her surprise, the Seven Stars would occasionally come to the academy to teach!

This is the pinnacle of wealthy businessmen. If one could learn some of their knowledge, they would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives!

For most ordinary people, this knowledge is even more valuable than the knowledge of Soul Masters.

After all, without innate soul power, one cannot become a soul master, and learning soul master knowledge is mostly useless, but learning other knowledge is a different story.

Upon hearing this, Beibei's eye twitched, and she looked somewhat bewildered.

He didn't know about the Seven Stars of Liyue, but the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School...

Is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School involved in Liyue's academy?
What a magnificent Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!
"What if they are outsiders?"

Tang Ya stroked her chin and asked in a serious tone.

To enroll at Shrek Academy, you also need to pay ten gold soul coins, which is a long-standing tradition of Shrek Academy.

But Liyue Academy is actually free for the residents of Liyue?

"Outsiders are welcome to attend the meeting, but they will need to pay for their meals and accommodation."

The older sister replied without hesitation.

Beibei and the others were stunned again. They were only charged for food and lodging?
"Can we take a look around first and then make a decision?"

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and said solemnly.

He didn't know how Tang Ya and Bei Bei would choose, but at this moment he was genuinely tempted.

There are so many benefits to becoming a resident of Liyue!

If he hadn't met Tang Ya and Bei Bei, he probably would have joined Liyue without hesitation and settled here!
"Of course, I'll show you around Liyue Academy!"

The receptionist greeted them with a smile, then gestured for them to proceed before leading the way.

The framework of Liyue Harbor has just been completed, and now the entire street is almost entirely filled with people doing renovations or loading goods, waiting for the official opening.

Before long, the group of four arrived at Liyue Academy. Just by looking at it from the entrance, they could tell that it was an ancient and elegant academy.

The academy occupies a small area, but it is divided into many zones.

"This……"

The three of them were taken aback, looking somewhat bewildered.

Having seen the world's best Shrek Academy, the sight of such a "small" Liyue Academy feels somewhat jarring.

This place is far too small; it doesn't look like a suitable place for teaching at all.

Seemingly sensing Huo Yuhao and the others' confusion, the receptionist simply smiled and didn't say anything more. There were no dormitories or any other unimportant things in Liyue Academy.

Apart from the books, the teaching building is just a classroom that can accommodate a thousand people.

The teaching here is different from that of a typical college; a course may only be offered once every two to three days.

For example, from 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning, we talk about the way of business; from 10:30 to 12:00, we talk about cooking... Those who want to listen will naturally come to learn; those who don't want to listen simply don't have to come to the classroom.

Liyue Academy is not a closed academy. The courses are streamlined, and people can return to their own homes after class, so there is no need to build dormitories.

The receptionist seemed to remember something, looked up at the sky, and then said to Huo Yuhao and the other two, "You've come at just the right time. This is the time to impart knowledge about Soul Masters. Let me take you to see it."

Huo Yuhao and the other two exchanged glances. Although they were puzzled, they followed the receptionist toward the classroom.

The academy was not large to begin with, and soon the sounds reached the ears of the four people.

"For a Soul Master, the body is the foundation of everything. Whether it's absorbing Soul Rings, fighting against others, or escaping, physical strength is of utmost importance."

"Of course, things are different now. The emergence of soul tools has changed the old traditions..."

"I once personally chased after a level nine soul master. His physique was far inferior to mine, but he wielded a level nine flying soul tool, which made it impossible for me to catch up with him!"

"But if we look at it another way, with my powerful body and soul power, and with the help of a level nine soul tool... that is, if I'm on the same starting line as him, with the same configuration, I will definitely be stronger than him!"

"The reason I've said all this is to tell you that, whether you're a Soul Master or a Soul Instructor, physical strength is of paramount importance!"

"As for methods to improve physical fitness, we'll discuss that in the next lesson. I need to prepare some necessary items so you can better understand the scientific method of physical training..."

Huo Yuhao, Bei Bei, Tang Ya: "..."

Who exactly is teaching this? Why is the lesson cut short at such a crucial moment?

Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance; neither of them seemed to have any aversion to soul tools.

After hearing the teacher's "experience," the two vaguely sensed the importance of soul tools.

Thinking about it carefully, what this "teacher" said is quite right. If he had a similar level nine flying soul tool when he was chasing that level nine soul master, wouldn't it have been a piece of cake to chase him down with his strong physique?

Hunting down a level nine Soul Master...

The one giving the lesson is a Title Douluo!

"Teacher Wu, please explain again! The next class isn't until three days later!!"

"Yes, Teacher Wu, please tell us more!"

"I thought the emergence of soul tools would change the role of soul masters and allow traditional support-type soul masters to rise up. But I didn't expect that... the food chain among high-level soul masters remains unchanged."

Yes, if they have the same soul tool, their previous positioning will not change.

"I'm not one to keep you in class long. Go back and digest this information before you talk about it. If you have any questions, ask them in the next class. That's all for now."

Teacher Wu?

He is Elder Wu Yun from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. His teaching here is solely his personal wish to impart some experience and theoretical knowledge to everyone.

Liyue Academy is just an academy, a place for teaching and resolving doubts. If you have no doubts, it is fine not to come to the academy.

I need to lay the groundwork a bit for Liyue... I'll be updating a lot in a few days, so I'll save up some drafts first.
