Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 146 Nobody remembers the runner-up unless he's the runner-up every year.

"Next, let's talk about the training plan for the next three months." Qian Renxue clapped her hands.

"First, we spent the morning in the academy's training room using the prepared soul guidance facilities to train our physical fitness."

"Then, at noon, we'll have a medicinal bath and a nutritional meal. In the afternoon, we'll have individual skills training, interspersed with two-on-two and three-on-three training sessions. You seven can freely form groups to challenge the combination of me, Yuanyi, and Sister Xue."

"After dinner tonight, we will face a seven-person team battle prepared by Master Ma. Similarly, the three of us will be randomly selected to participate in the team battle coordination training."

Mr. Ma was not in the training room at the time. He was also very busy with work. In addition to the reserve team, he also needed to take care of the main team.

"After a day of training, each of us needs to summarize what we've learned that day. Master Ma and I will also give everyone a score. Finally, we'll return to our respective simulation training rooms and use meditation to replace our nighttime sleep until the next morning."

Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled as she finished speaking.

However, the expressions in the eyes of those seven people seemed somewhat gloomy.

"What, are you scared?" Shen Yuanyi glanced at them.

"Let me tell you, don't think of those Shrek students as so great!" Shen Yuanyi saw Qian Renxue's eyes sparkling and knew that she needed to play the bad cop at this time.

"Miss, Sister Xue, and I have encountered Shrek Academy members before. They're not as scary as you think. You can get injured just like them, and if the injuries are too severe, you can die!"

"If you already see them as an insurmountable mountain, then there's no point in continuing our training!"

Qian Renxue and Xue Di didn't interrupt, letting Shen Yuanyi's voice echo. Jing Hongchen also remained silent; he was happy that someone was willing to point out the problem at this time.

"So what if it's a mountain? If there's a mountain in front, we'll cut it down; if there's a sea in front, we'll cross it; if there's Shrek Academy in front, we'll fire!"

"When we've fully developed our soul power, physical strength, and reflexes, and with the added boost from soul tools, what makes them think they can fight us?"

"When they're far away, use your soul-guided devices to bomb them. When they get close, think about the kiting and counter-attack techniques you've learned in the last few days. Tell me, what makes them think they can fight us?"

"Do you really think those bastards are more powerful than Miss?!" Shen Yuanyi asked emphatically at the end.

"Our training isn't over yet." Qian Renxue looked up and spoke at the opportune moment, "Before we continue, I'll ask you a question: Who was the champion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament two hundred and twenty years ago?"

"..." Everyone was trembling with fear, but no one spoke.

"It's Shrek Academy, right?" Qian Renxue said softly, "Then do you know who the runner-up is?"

"...?" This puzzled everyone; who would remember the runner-up?

"I can tell you that the second place went to the Holy Dragon Academy from Dragon City in the Heavenly Soul Empire. But nobody remembers, right?" Qian Renxue said.

"...?" Long Xiaoyao, in the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire, suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his nose.

"What's going on? Why does it feel like someone is cursing at me?" He touched his nose, but in the end, he didn't manage to sneeze.

"So, who's been second in the last hundred years?"

Jing Hongchen's eyelids twitched. This brat, I'm still here, are you looking for trouble?

Everyone knows that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has won the runner-up title twenty times in a row without ever losing.

Five years prior, 105 years ago, the runner-up was a Soul Master Academy in the Star Luo Empire. This was because a monstrous Soul Master emerged from that academy, possessing a Dark Raven Martial Soul. However, this person seemed to vanish without a trace, disappearing without a trace. Before that, the runner-up was the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"It's the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!" Xiao Hongchen shouted, his aura soaring.

Jing Hongchen's eyelids were about to explode.

"No one will remember who the runner-up is unless they're runner-up every year." Qian Renxue's voice lowered, then rose again. "Do you guys want to keep getting runner-up?!"

"No!" the seven people said in unison.

"So, do you want to or not?" Xue Di found the scene amusing and chimed in, "It feels like you need some special declaration."

The seven men were taken aback. After realizing that they could not escape this grueling training and having made up their minds, they all uttered their pre-battle declarations.

Even Xiao Hongchen went from looking scared when he first heard about the electric chair body-refining technique to saying things like "Grandpa, I'm so scared!" to saying things like "Strangle those bastards!" and "Let them taste what it's like to be humiliated by soul-guided technology."

Although those words had hurt Jing Hongchen's pride, it must be said that the encouragement was very effective. Hearing the voices of these little brats, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

He even felt that it was a mistake not to let Xiaoxue train the home team as well.

As for Qian Renxue, she was actually quite looking forward to seeing how well she could teach these children, whose talents weren't particularly outstanding.

She didn't know what Shrek Academy's training methods were like, but a power that could develop into the number one force on the entire continent couldn't possibly still be like it was ten thousand years ago... just simple, mindless long-distance running, right?

When Qian Renxue was still in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she heard about a teacher named Qin Ming, who was said to be the second youngest Soul Emperor in the world. In fact, her cultivation level at that time had already surpassed that of a Soul Emperor and was almost a Soul Saint, so she became curious about this person.

She asked Qin Ming, "Where did you come from? When did you become a Soul Emperor?"

Qin Ming said arrogantly, "Shrek Academy! Thirty-four years old!"

Qian Renxue was puzzled at the time; she'd never heard of this academy before. Entering the Soul Emperor realm at thirty-four… never mind. Then she added, "A place that can produce someone like you must be incredibly powerful, right?"

Qin Ming said arrogantly, "Of course! We at Shrek Academy only want monsters, not trash!"

Then, he proudly released his martial soul: a six-ring Soul Emperor, the fifth ring, Purple Millennium!

Qian Renxue was a little confused, but she still asked, "So how did you train back then? Did you have a simulated training environment?"

Qin Ming arrogantly declared, "Training is just weighted long-distance running! We don't have a simulated cultivation environment, but that's okay, because we can run long distances! Your Highness, you don't understand the value of weighted long-distance running! As long as we run far enough, what kind of environment won't we encounter? We'll just treat passing by as simulated cultivation!"

I wonder if they still only know long-distance running. If they really have their own cultivation system, it should at most be similar to or on par with the body-refining part she envisioned.

She didn't believe Shrek could surpass her, given the almost suffocating individual combat skills and the accumulated experience of fighting directly against a coach like her.
