Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 32 Yu Tianheng Drops Out of School

Back in his dorm, Xiao Yi lay on his bed, taking stock of what he had accomplished that day.

He took out the Crown Prince's Token from his soul tool and muttered to himself, "Now that I have the Crown Prince's Token, I can gain a foothold in Heaven Dou City even without Dugu Bo."

"Forget it, why think so much? Let's go to sleep first."

Silent all night.

The next morning, after finishing his daily cultivation, Xiao Yi headed towards Dugu Yan's dormitory.

"Bang bang bang!"

Who is it?

"Yanzi, it's me. Let's go get some breakfast."

"Okay, wait a moment."

After all, we only officially became a couple yesterday, so of course we need to nurture our relationship.

After a while, Dugu Yan opened the door and naturally took Xiao Yi's hand, and then rushed to the cafeteria.

It has to be said that the food at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is really good; all the dishes are made from soul beast meat, and they're free.

After finishing their breakfast, the two headed to the Royal Fighting Team's training ground, where everyone else had also gathered.

When the people in the group saw Xiao Yi and Dugu Yan walking over hand in hand, they started gossiping.

"Oh my, Sister Yan, didn't you say you weren't a couple yesterday? How come you're holding hands today?"

"Mind your own business! What we do is our business. If you don't like it, find someone yourself!" Dugu Yan said.

After everyone had been fooling around for a while, Qin Ming arrived.

After Qin Ming arrived, he counted the number of students and informed them that Yu Tianheng had dropped out of school.

"It must be because he saw that Dugu Yan was interested in me, and then his elders realized that it was impossible to win over Dugu Bo, so they made him transfer schools."

Xiao Yi thought to himself.

Yu Tianheng, one of the Blue Lightning Twins, has a cousin named Yu Tianxin. They are close in age and talent, and are considered the most talented members of their generation within the sect. They are the strongest contenders for the next sect leader.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan has its own academy, located in Element City, and together with Blazing Fire Academy, Divine Wind Academy, and Heavenly Water Academy, it is known as the Four Elemental Academy.

Yesterday afternoon, Qin Ming was organizing documents in his office when Yu Tianheng suddenly came to visit.

"Tianheng, what brings you here?"

"Teacher Qin Ming, I want to drop out of school."

Why?

"Because my family sent me to Thunder Academy."

"I think it's because of the goose."

"There are some, I suppose."

"Tianheng, you can't force a relationship. Don't feel bad that Yanzi doesn't like you. Everyone has their own preferences. You'll meet someone better in the future," Qin Ming comforted Yu Tianheng.

"I understand, Teacher Qin Ming."

Qin Ming then helped Yu Tianheng obtain a certificate.

After taking his certificate and packing his things in his dormitory, Yu Tianheng left the college.

Qin Ming then announced that Dugu Yan would be the captain and Xiao Yi the vice-captain, and then arranged today's training.

In short, the morning team training includes practical exercises such as physical training and on-site soul battles with guidance, as well as theoretical explanations of soul master and soul beast knowledge. The afternoon is personal time; those who want to strengthen their martial soul application can practice martial soul training, those who want to strengthen their soul skill application can practice soul skill training, and those who want to strengthen their physical body can practice physical body training. If you have any questions, you can ask Qin Ming for help and correction.

In the evening, everyone would return to their rooms to cultivate their soul power, which is an old tradition in the world of soul masters.

Personalized instruction, one-on-one guidance, and implementation depending on individual self-discipline – this is an overview of Qin Ming's teaching philosophy.

As expected of someone educated at Shrek Academy, he's somewhat useful, but not much.

Unfortunately, this approach had absolutely no effect in a place like the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The living conditions of the students at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are so good that most of them still think about "training hard" as running 10 laps around the training ground today, their legs are sore, and they spend several hours cultivating their soul power in the evening, which is another day full of energy.

This is only when I'm in a good mood and have enthusiasm for cultivation.

Without any coercion, relying solely on self-motivation, that enthusiasm, in his view, is like a period—it comes and goes as it pleases.

If one's enthusiasm for training is inconsistent and the intensity of training varies, how good can the training results be?

Not to mention challenging one's own limits or breaking through the limits of willpower and body.

Then Qin Ming took out weighted iron armor from his soul tool, each piece of armor marked with its weight and name.

"Your task today is to run ten laps around the training ground," Qin Ming said.

"The purpose of wearing weighted armor is to increase your physical strength, endurance, and speed."

Xiao Yi was speechless after hearing this. What's the point of running in this every day? It would be better to find a Soul Master with a Gravity Soul Skill to unleash the skill, and then provide nutrition and medicinal baths to prevent hidden injuries.

Then he shook his head and thought of a certain academy ten thousand years later, where students were wearing weights and running a hundred laps around the track.

"As expected, the method passed down in Douluo Continent is to hunt for spirit rings and use them directly, without paying attention to the physical body. Even the most basic exercise like running has been passed down for ten thousand years. Forget it, what does Douluo Continent know about cultivation?"

Xiao Yi started training his physical body at the age of five. In the Star Dou Great Forest, besides cultivating his soul power and helping others hunt for soul rings, he would go into the forest to fight soul beasts and hone his combat experience. In his opinion, the training of the Royal Fighting Team was like playing house.

"Teacher Qin Ming, I think it would be better to find a Soul Master with a Gravity Soul Skill to train us. Wearing Iron Armor will affect our physical growth," Xiao Yi said.

"I have my reasons for doing this. If you disagree, go to the Education Commission. Now, start running!" Qin Ming said.

Then everyone put on their iron suits and started running.

"What exactly is Shrek Academy capable of that they could influence Qin Ming so deeply? Forget it, let's just run first, and then go to the Education Commission to discuss this idea. We should also change the team leader. It wouldn't be good if Qin Ming were to betray us because he's been so deeply influenced by Shrek Academy."

Soon everyone finished running, and after arranging their training, the group was dismissed.

"Yanzi, I'm going to the Education Commission," Xiao Yi said to Dugu Yan.

"Is it because of training?" Dugu Yan asked.

"Yes, because I feel that this kind of training is not very effective and is a waste of time."

"Okay, then go ahead."

After they finished talking, Xiao Yi walked towards the Education Committee.

They arrived at the Education Committee quickly. Meng Shenji saw Xiao Yi arrive and asked, "Xiao Yi, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Commissioner Meng, I'd like to change the training method. Could you please help me find a different team leader? The current training is ineffective and a waste of time. I asked Qin Ming to change the training method, but he disagreed." Xiao Yi explained his purpose.

"I see. Then let's change the team leader."

This morning, Xue Qinghe came to the Education Committee and instructed Meng Shenji that Xiao Yi was his man, and that it was perfectly acceptable for Xiao Yi to want to change the team leader if he was dissatisfied with the current training methods.

After their conversation, Xiao Yi left the Education Committee.
