My martial spirit leads me to Earth; I begin by submitting my skills to the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 71 Five-Year Plan

Su Yun reached out and gently shook her hand.

"Su Yun. The new person in charge of this manor."

As soon as they finished speaking, a very faint sound of clothes rubbing against each other suddenly came from the towering courtyard wall above their heads.

Su Yun looked up at the sound.

At that moment, a timid, dark figure was perched atop the high wall.

She was a girl with an extremely aloof and cold demeanor.

She was leaning halfway up the wall, looking down with clear eyes, seemingly hesitating about how to jump down without getting hurt.

"Lengling! What are you still doing lying up there? Get down!"

Dugu Yan turned her head and waved towards the top of the wall.

The girl on the wall frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation in her expression.

"The wall is too high. I'm afraid I'll fall."

"Ugh, what are you dawdling for? I just can't do anything with you."

Dugu Yan sighed helplessly.

With a sudden burst of strength, she used the small protrusions on the wall to push off twice, instantly scaling the high wall.

Dugu Yan grabbed the aloof girl's ankle and forcefully pulled her down from the wall.

With a soft cry, Ye Lengling fell steadily into Dugu Yan's arms.

She straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, her eyes looking dazed and innocent, like a startled fawn.

As for Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

By this time, they had long since vanished, terrified by the horrific legend, and were probably somewhere in the manor—madly sinking into despair.

Only Su Yun and these two uninvited guests remained.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were clearly very familiar with this manor.

This place is rarely inhabited, and has become their secret backyard.

Since Xiao Wu and the others had run away, Dugu Yan naturally became their tour guide.

The three of them strolled side by side along the cobblestone path.

Passing by the rippling lotus pond, and walking through the ornately decorated viewing corridor.

During their casual conversation, Dugu Yan learned that Su Yun actually planned to open an academy here.

Dugu Yan suddenly stopped and looked the little boy in front of her up and down.

"You want to start a college?"

Dugu Yan's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"You look quite young. What can you teach me?"

Su Yun remained unperturbed by these questions.

He pushed up his sunglasses, a calm smile playing on his lips.

"So what do you usually teach at Heaven Dou Academy?"

Dugu Yan stretched out her fingers and began to count them off as if they were precious treasures.

"What else can I teach? The most important thing is naturally the theory of martial souls, and the rules for matching soul skills. The experience summarized by countless predecessors is the most basic of the basics."

Su Yun nodded slightly in agreement.

"The experience of our predecessors is indeed valuable and deserves full recognition. But ultimately, it is just an empirical approach."

Su Yun stopped and turned around abruptly.

"But experience can only tell you what cultivation path to follow for common standard martial souls. Once you encounter a mutated martial soul that has not been recorded by predecessors, or special circumstances, relying solely on experience will leave you completely clueless."

What we need to explore are the objective laws governing the development of all things in this world.

Su Yun's expression was solemn.

"Whether it's a martial spirit or soul power, they are ultimately composed of the most basic substances."

"We must view this issue from the perspective of development and universal interconnectedness."

"We must uncover the contradictions and evolutionary laws within a martial spirit. Only by mastering this methodology, which allows us to see through the essence of the material world, can any martial spirit achieve a perfect evolutionary path. This is what I aim to establish—"

Su Yun suddenly spread his arms wide and announced loudly: "Department of Martial Soul Theory Research".

Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment.

Objective laws? Internal contradictions? Methodology?

These words sounded extremely profound, leaving her momentarily speechless.

The things in the little boy's mind seemed to far exceed her comprehension.

Not to be outdone, she raised her second finger.

"What about the habits of spirit beasts and the distribution of hunting years? This is related to the advancement of each spirit master. The hunting experience left by predecessors is extremely important."

"Understanding your prey is important, but treating them as expendable resources is far too narrow-minded."

Su Yun approached step by step, his tone becoming increasingly loud.

"This exploitative resource-plundering model, which drains the pond to catch all the fish, will inevitably lead to its complete collapse sooner or later!"

"We need to examine the resource allocation and production relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts with a completely new perspective."

"We need to explore a sustainable development model that breaks the zero-sum game!"

"We need to fundamentally address the issue of resources being monopolized by a few, and the survival conflict between the two groups. This is what's classified as top secret—"

Su Yun waved his hand and said firmly, "Soul Spirit Ecosystem and Soul Beast Biology System."

Dugu Yan was utterly shocked.

Change the production relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts?

Such a grand ambition actually came from the mouth of a child.

She took a deep breath.

"We also teach fighting spirit and basic combat drills. In addition, there's the distribution of various forces, as well as the rules and etiquette of the noble circles. Practical combat and interpersonal relationships must both be taken into account."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun's smile became extremely bright.

"Real-world application is, of course, essential. It is the touchstone for testing all truths."

"But the real combat you see is ultimately just a narrow competition that focuses on self-examination."

"Over-reliance on the strength of the martial spirit itself, without knowing how to leverage external forces or rely on external aids."

"As for the formalities of the aristocratic circles, they are nothing more than the corrupt shackles used to maintain the old interest groups."

Su Yun clenched his fist tightly and raised it high.

"The wheels of history roll forward and will inevitably crush those backward individual structures."

"We must rely on advanced weaponry and equipment, along with the strength of a well-organized collective!"

"We will use the most advanced production tools to overthrow any seemingly unshakeable old system. Under the cover of firepower, truth prevails. This is what we are about to establish—"

Su Yun's voice echoed throughout the open space.

"Practical Application Department, and Soul Guidance Technology Engineering Department."

Dugu Yan was completely bewildered by this series of unheard-of theories.

The two beautiful young women stood with their mouths slightly open, their eyes no longer showing any disdain for the little brother, but instead filled with extreme awe and longing for the grand plan.

Ye Lengleng's eyes flashed with a fanatical light, and she couldn't help but take a step forward.

"Your college has already accomplished all of this?"

Dugu Yan swallowed hard, her voice trembling.

Su Yun smiled and shook her head, adjusting her sunglasses and regaining her calm tone.

"One must walk one step at a time. One must eat one bite at a time. Great theories must be transformed into reality through a long process of exploration."

"At this point, we've only set out a general research direction. This is just the first step in a long journey."

Su Yun pulled a small black notebook from his pocket and waved it in front of the two of them.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, but I have already formulated the first five-year development plan for the college!"
