Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 31 - Lesson 1

After wandering around Shrek Academy for most of the day, the two of them had basically figured out all the routes. Coincidentally, they ran into Huo Yuhao while they were looking for food in the cafeteria.

"That's Huo Yuhao?!" Qian Renxue glanced at Huo Yuhao sideways and transmitted her voice to Qian Lingyun, "He looks a bit thin!"

"My dear sister, can you please stop judging people by their weight like a cannibal?" Qian Lingyun helplessly put down her chopsticks, glancing at Huo Yuhao with a tearful expression, and replied:

"Yes, that's Huo Yuhao, the unlucky guy who got scolded like a dog by Tang San. As for the dog leash... you should know what that means!"

"What if we try to win him over...?" Qian Renxue tapped her index finger thoughtfully on the table.

"Heh, if you're not afraid of dying, go ahead. Tang San has already got his eye on this guy. If you try to win him over, you're basically handing yourself over to Tang San in the open. At that point, you'll be in the light while he's in the shadows, and you won't even know how you died!" Qian Lingyun said patiently, rubbing her forehead.

"Instead of worrying about him, we should worry about ourselves! There are only two people in the Spirit Hall under construction right now: you and me! You are an angel whose godhood has been shattered, and I am a Rakshasa who is restrained by Asura."

"We are the ones walking on thin ice!"

"That's true... We can barely take care of ourselves, how can we worry about anything else! Let's eat! It'll get cold if we don't eat now."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue sighed, picked up a piece of earthworm tendon from her plate with her chopsticks, and stuffed it into Qian Lingyun's mouth.

...

The next day, the doors of the white school building opened, and the new students, dressed in white school uniforms, filed in one after another. Almost every one of them had a small green monster symbol representing Shrek Academy on their left chest.

Qian Renxue and Qian Lingyun definitely wouldn't carry something like that; at most, they'd put it in their pockets to prevent anyone from checking...

Students in different grades wear different colored uniforms, just like the color of their school buildings.

Qian Renxue was a little nervous on her first day of school and actually tugged at Qian Lingyun's sleeve, following her. Qian Lingyun asked in surprise, "You've never been to school before?"

"What school do I need? I was too young to go to school, how could I possibly have the chance to go to school?" Qian Renxue said angrily, pinching and twisting the soft flesh of Qian Lingyun's waist.

"Ouch...it hurts...I mean, you're so knowledgeable and eloquent even though you've never been to school, it really makes me ashamed..."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression finally improved a little, and she unconsciously loosened her grip.

Clutching her aching lower back, Qian Lingyun silently uttered a few harsh words in her mind before obediently arriving at the classroom.

Qian Renxue likes to get up early, but Qian Lingyun loves to sleep in. This combination results in the extra time being effectively balanced out.

By this time, the spacious room was already quite full of people. The two sisters had arrived at the perfect time, with empty seats everywhere. The new students were excitedly introducing themselves from their seats.

Because if everything goes smoothly, these classmates will become my future network, and having this connection will always give me more options.

The classroom was large, with a hundred students in the same class. Based on the scale of one thousand new students, there should be about ten classes for new students.

Qian Renxue wanted to sit by the window because she liked to breathe fresh air, while Qian Lingyun preferred the last row because it would make it easier for her to fall asleep during class…

Neither sister was willing to back down, but in the end, Qian Renxue, with a dark expression, followed Qian Lingyun to the last row of the classroom…

However, don't misunderstand. It's not that Qian Renxue compromised, but rather that she wanted to supervise her younger sister to study hard, improve every day, and carry forward the Qian family's serious and responsible nature.

Sitting in their seats, Qian Renxue and Qian Lingyun both had the illusion that they had returned to the past and suddenly felt much younger.

Time passed by, with students coming and going almost every moment. Once the last student was seated, there were no empty seats left in the classroom, and everyone looked expectantly towards the door.

Finally, the young and beautiful teacher, wearing high heels and carrying a stack of books, strode into the classroom. All the noise and laughter in the classroom came to an abrupt halt. Mu Jin seemed very satisfied with this scene, simply tapping the desk lightly with the spine of a book, and introduced herself:

"I am the homeroom teacher of Class 9, and my name is Mu Jin."

"I know that no one who comes to our college is weak, so all of you here are elites among your peers! Perhaps there are some things I, as your teacher, need to learn from you, so I hope you won't hold back!"

After she finished speaking, Mu Jin smiled slightly, and the students present also burst into clear and melodious laughter.

Just then, a commotion arose downstairs, drawing everyone's attention to the unusual activity.

"Teacher!" a little girl sitting a bit far away shouted, raising her right hand.

"What's wrong?" Hibiscus asked.

"Is it an earthquake?!" The little girl stood there helplessly, seemingly very nervous, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"No, it's a teacher downstairs messing with the students!" Mu Jin checked the time and pointed to the window.

"They're making so much noise, I doubt you can concentrate on the lesson. Anyway, it's still early, I'll give you five minutes to go to the window and see what they're doing. Once you've seen clearly, we'll start the lesson again."

Upon hearing this, several daring boys actually leaned out of the window and peered at the playground not far away, while Mu Jin calmly sat in front of the podium and made herself a cup of tea.

Seeing that the teacher kept her word, more and more students crowded around the window to watch the commotion. Although they could only see students from who-knows-which-class were running laps, they still chatted and laughed until Mu Jin casually said:

"Hurry up if you want to watch! You only have half a minute left!"

Wow!

The students, realizing what had happened, rushed back to their seats and sat up straight the moment Mu Jin put down her teacup.

Seeing this, Mu Jin's lips curled up slightly, seemingly quite pleased that her student had such awareness.

Looking out the window with pity, Mu Jin sighed, "I wonder how many more unlucky students will get expelled! After all... only her love rival would pull something like this on the first day of school."

"Alright, let's begin the lesson. Today, I'll be talking about what's called 'ambiguity of offense and defense'!" Mu Jin turned around and wrote the five characters "ambiguity of offense and defense" on the blackboard, then asked, "Does anyone know anything about this? If so, please stand up and boldly share your thoughts."

"..."

The entire room fell silent. All the students stared at Mu Jin with wide eyes, some looking bewildered, others too afraid to speak.

"The so-called blurring of offense and defense refers to the fact that under the interference of external factors, the original positioning of the Soul Master has been shifted or even reversed." Qian Lingyun was pulled to her feet by her supervising older sister, Qian Renxue, who was also supervising her studies.

"That's good. Could you give me an example?" Mu Jin nodded with a smile, signaling Qian Lingyun to continue.

"The so-called external factors can be roughly understood as soul tools!" Qian Lingyun explained, raising her hand.

"In the era before soul tools and certain special weapons, the division of labor among soul masters was clear: active roles included strong offense, control, agile attack, and defense, while passive roles included healing, food, and healing."

"Such a Soul Master attacks when he attacks and defends when he defends, with a clear dividing line. You can't have an agility-type Soul Master tanking damage while a defense-type Soul Master launches a sneak attack and reconnaissance!"
