Douluo Continent: Xiao Xiao, I'm going to control you fiercely!

Ring ring—

The classic school building bell heralded the beginning of a new generation of Shrek students' growth.

The white school building doors opened wide, and freshmen, dressed in white school uniforms, filed in, each with a green monster badge symbolizing Shrek Academy on their left chest.

Eager to cultivate, Huo Yuhao still arrived late into the classroom as the bell rang.

Since he arrived last, Huo Yuhao sat down next to Xiao Xiao, just like in the original story.

Soon after Huo Yuhao sat down, an elderly teacher with white hair and wrinkled skin entered the classroom.

Having anticipated the noisy atmosphere in the classroom, Zhou Yi, disguised as an old woman, quickly scanned her surroundings with her sharp eyes.

"My name is Zhou Yi, and I'm your homeroom teacher. In my class, no trash will pass the assessment. I'm training monsters, not idiots. I'm telling you clearly, a significant portion of you will likely be eliminated before the freshman assessment even begins."

After hearing Zhou Yi's words, many people in the classroom showed indignant expressions.

All I can say is that Zhou Yi was far too authoritative.

"Anyone who has been in a fight since the registration started, please stand up." Zhou Yi's words shocked the entire class once again.

Obviously, because they now had their own dorm rooms, only Xiao Xiao stood up in the entire class.

"one?"

Zhou Yi gave a cold laugh.

"A bunch of useless trash, too scared to even fight. Get out and run a hundred laps as punishment. Anyone who doesn't finish will be expelled."

"Teacher, I'm not having this! Why are we being punished by running laps even though we didn't fight?!"

The extra in the classic film is protesting from his spot.

"Oh? You're not convinced?"

Zhou Yi pushed up her glasses.

"If you're not satisfied, then go and fight Xiao Xiao right here. If you can beat her, you won't have to drop out. Otherwise, you'll have to leave Shrek Academy today!"

"Fine, let's fight!"

The extra stood up indignantly and loudly announced his name.

"Wang Hao, Level 17 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul..."

Before the clown could finish his report, Xu Shu, controlling Xiao Xiao, spoke calmly:

"Xiao Xiao, level 47 support-type battle spirit master."

An immense pressure was then released, enveloping the entire classroom.

"You should drop out of school yourself."

"I."

The extra standing to the side immediately blushed and couldn't even take a step.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao flicked her finger, and the extra crashed through the door and flew out of the classroom.

To be honest, Xu Shu had no objections to Zhou Yi's first lesson.

After all, the one who goes through all the trouble to get to Shrek Academy and then becomes extremely arrogant and cunning is definitely a high-ranking noble who's just giving up.

Xu Shu faces absolutely no pressure when fighting this kind of person.

As for Zhou Yi's second teaching session, apart from the fact that the method was too primitive, there were no major problems within Shrek Academy.

Extreme training hones willpower, while Soul Saint-level Life Tree Soul Masters heal injuries and aftereffects.

(Some people here say that the training left hidden injuries, which is pure slander. Zhou Yi eliminated two-thirds of the students in the class, and was complained about because of the excessively high elimination rate.)

Combining the two is normal, after all, Shrek Academy has used this original training method for thousands of years.

The real problem lies in Zhou Yi's third phase of training, which indiscriminately eliminates the last person in each training session over the three months of freshmen training, all in the name of cultivating elites who can truly go to the battlefield.

This teaching method is probably suitable for certain assassin organizations or special forces battalions.

Xu Shu strongly suspected that Zhou Yi's actions in the original work were partly intended to select personnel for Fan Yu's ultimate solo soldier plan.

However, although he knew that Zhou Yi's teaching methods were somewhat unreasonable, Xu Shu did not intend to interfere at all.

After all, random NPCs and such are not important, and there is no benefit in helping them stay in Shrek Academy.

Players are such realistic beings.

Releasing hundreds or even thousands of ordinary pets into the wild for a single exotic or colorful animal is a common occurrence.

After Xiao Xiao's reprimand, most of the students in the classroom obediently went out for a run.

Xiao Xiao, who was left alone in the classroom, respectfully bid farewell to Zhou Yi.

"Master's wife, I'm going to the old dormitory area to train my soul power control. Please take care of Junior Brother Yuhao."

"Also, Wang Dong's martial spirit is quite interesting; it might bring you a pleasant surprise, Master's Wife."

"Alright, Xiao Xiao, you can go train on your own." Zhou Yi responded gently and kindly, completely different from before.

The difference between loving and not loving is really obvious.

While Xiao Xiao was heading to the abandoned six-story old dormitory, Xu Shu quickly switched back to the live stream, replied briefly, and then changed the live stream title to:

A day in the life of the "villagers" in Douluo Continent II.

"I'm sure many fans of the original work tried out the villagers' training methods, such as climbing trees and wading through water, after the game started."

"After all, soul power is a kind of energy generated by the combination of life energy and the elemental energy of heaven and earth, and its nature is very similar to chakra."

"But why hasn't anyone on the forum successfully climbed the tree and waded through the water yet?"

"That's because the soul power was originally a version of Sage Chakra that combined natural energy, and you weren't given a version adapted to ordinary chakra that was made of pure life energy."

"Therefore, it is indeed very difficult to improve one's control over soul power through training methods such as climbing trees and wading through water. At least a Soul Master's mental power needs to be at the Soul Emperor level to even begin to master it."

At this moment, Xu Shu smiled slightly at the live broadcast camera.

"However, I've noticed that few players these days seem to have the perseverance to continue exploring tree-climbing and water-walking techniques after reaching level 60."

"Because after level 60, players can use reputation points to AFK alongside Title Douluos to experience the nature of soul power, thereby improving their control over soul power."

"As for players who want to make the most of every minute, they should do what I do: first improve their character's mental strength, and then have their character train by climbing trees and wading through water."

As he spoke, Xu Shu controlled Xiao Xiao to attach her soul power to the soles of her feet, and she walked up the dormitory building wall, which was perpendicular to the ground, as if walking on flat ground.

"Of course, climbing trees and wading through water are quite difficult. Here are a few different methods I've summarized for you."

"The least efficient method is Shrek's classic method of extreme overdraft."

"A slightly more efficient method, suitable for Soul Masters and Soul Sect Masters, is to use soul power to envelop water spheres and objects and move them along a specific trajectory."

"What's suitable for Soul Kings and Soul Emperors is to condense their soul power into threads to pull onto target objects and to climb trees. Ultimately, success means being able to walk on any flat surface as easily as the villagers, by attaching soul power to the soles of their feet."

"Stronger Soul Emperors and Soul Saints will need the classic water-walking technique. They need to stand steadily on the rippling water surface where the wind is blowing."

"Currently, my Xiao Xiao has completed tree climbing training."

Suddenly, Xu Shu's screen flashed white light, and Xiao Xiao, wearing a school swimsuit, came into everyone's view.

"Ahem, I've already changed Xiao Xiao into her swimsuit. Next, we'll do some treading water training."
