Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 46 Yun Ming's Strong Argument with Shrek

Upon hearing Yun Ming question Flander, the expressions on the others' faces became quite interesting. Ma Hongjun was furious, Tang San and Ning Rongrong were surprised, Xiao Wu watched the show, and Oscar was in a dilemma.

When Flander heard Yun Ming so bluntly question the academy's teaching standards, his expression turned ugly.

For Flander, Shrek Academy was the culmination of his life's work and his spiritual anchor. He would never allow anyone to belittle Shrek Academy, not even the genius Yun Ming, whom he valued highly. Flander suppressed his anger and asked Yun Ming in a low voice.

"Oh? Was there a problem with my lesson just now?"

"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or you'll witness the wrath of a Soul Saint!"

Yun Ming looked at the furious Flander and said calmly.

"Okay, then I'll break down what you just said, point by point, and explain it to you!"

"Let's start with your first point: the academy doesn't teach how to cultivate a martial spirit, it only teaches how to use it!"

At this point, Yun Ming glanced at Ma Hongjun and continued.

"Take Ma Hongjun as an example. If he joined Blazing Fire Academy, what kind of education do you think he would receive?"

Upon hearing Yun Ming say this, Flander seemed to understand what he wanted to say, but before he could speak, he heard Ma Hongjun speak angrily.

"No matter what I get in return, I'll stay at Shrek Academy!"

Flander was deeply moved to hear Ma Hongjun so protective of him as his teacher and of Shrek Academy; this disciple had not been taken in vain. Yun Ming glanced at Ma Hongjun and seemed to see some of the same traits he remembered from Shrek Academy students 20,000 years later, and was momentarily lost in thought.

After his initial surprise, Tang San spoke up, somewhat angrily.

"Is there a problem with that?"

Ever since Yu Xiaogang saw through Tang San's twin martial souls and even gave his Blue Silver Grass an animal spirit ring, Tang San had deeply believed in the Grandmaster's theories on martial souls. As for the academy not teaching martial soul cultivation, that was what his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, taught him, and that's exactly what he did.

Upon hearing Tang San's question, Yun Ming snapped out of his reverie and looked at Ma Hongjun, saying...

"I didn't say you had to join, it was just an example."

"If you join Blazing Fire, as far as I know, you will at least receive guidance on fire control, combat techniques for avian martial souls, experience in cultivating fire-type martial souls, and the best fire-type martial soul mimicry environment. And that's just what I know; in fact, you might get even more."

"Although both the Phoenix and the Cat-Owl are avian martial souls, even if your teacher can teach you avian martial soul combat techniques, the most important thing for the Phoenix martial soul is the understanding and application of fire."

"Therefore, at Shrek Academy, your teachers can only teach you some basic martial arts; they can't teach you the most important things about the Phoenix Martial Soul. They lack the resources and the ability!"

"So your biggest gain at Shrek Academy might be having a powerful teacher. However, with your talent, you might also be able to get a senior teacher at Blazing Fire to take you as a disciple."

Tang San and Ma Hongjun were stunned when they heard Yun Ming's detailed analysis.

After listening to Yun Ming's explanation, Tang San initially wanted to refute him, but Yun Ming's detailed account of the Blazing Fire Academy's curriculum seemed too convincing. So, in those top-tier advanced Soul Master academies, can Martial Souls be guided in cultivation? Why hadn't Grandmaster ever taught him these things?

For the first time, Tang San's confidence in the master's theory began to waver.

Although Ma Hongjun wasn't very smart, he still had a brain. Yun Ming explained it to him so clearly, how could he not understand?

The others understood Yun Ming's meaning: Shrek Academy wasn't against teaching martial soul cultivation, but rather they couldn't teach it; they lacked the ability and the resources.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun gaped, wanting to defend the academy, but they couldn't find any points to refute it from a teaching perspective, because they hadn't actually taken any other decent classes.

Yunming then gave a final summary.

"Cultivating a martial spirit also means understanding the martial spirit. Only after understanding the martial spirit can you think about how to use it, which will make your efforts twice as effective."

"Combat is a good way to 'find gaps' and a quick way to understand a martial soul, but Shrek Academy can't teach you how to 'fill in the gaps,' and understanding a martial soul solely through combat is too superficial!"

After hearing Yun Ming's words, Flander's face turned pale, but before he could speak, Yun Ming began to ask the next question.

"And what you just mentioned about support-type Soul Masters, they need to know how to escape and train their physical abilities."

Flander interrupted Yun Ming, who was about to continue.

"This is a fact universally acknowledged in the Soul Master world. Are you going to deny it?!"

Flander was a little scared. Two of the basic teaching theories that Shrek Academy had believed in for twenty years were directly destroyed by Yun Ming in just a few words, and he was a little frightened.

Yun Ming said calmly.

That's right.

Yun Ming didn't deny it anymore, which relieved Flander, but then Yun Ming continued to ask.

"Besides running and meditation, do you offer any other supplementary courses?"

Flander was stunned by the question. Oscar looked completely bewildered; did support classes really need to train in other areas?

Seeing Flander and Oscar's hesitant reactions, Yunming knew the outcome and continued speaking.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"It seems there aren't any left."

As he spoke, Yun Ming looked at Ning Rongrong and asked her a question.

"Miss Ning, could you tell me about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Aside from physical strength and soul power, what else do support-type disciples need to cultivate?"

Hearing Yun Ming's question, Ning Rongrong didn't mind answering it to make the scene more lively. Ning Rongrong explained in her soft, melodious voice.

"In addition to the above two items, the support disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also need to learn soul power consumption control, the timing of support when one person supports multiple people, and how to quickly provide each person with the precise support they need."

"The food-based system is similar, mainly focusing on training soul power consumption control, timing of support, and support principles."

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's answer, Yun Ming asked Flander.

"Dean Flander, what Miss Ning just mentioned are the training methods that support-type Soul Masters need to cultivate more, not things like running."

"I'm at a loss for words when it comes to your academy's lackluster training methods. It's not just flawed; the entire training system is just a few bricks!"

At this point, Yunming thought of a problem that had arisen with these 'bricks'.

"There's just one last small problem!"

"It's actually not very reasonable to divide the physical training of support and food types into the same intensity."

"Although food-type and support-type soul masters both belong to the support category, they are different. Food-type soul masters are not the type that must go to the front line. So even if you want to train their physical abilities, please do so according to their needs."

"And to be honest, I've been training in running since I was six years old. Is that all the physical training and dodging you teach at Shrek Academy?"

After listening to Yun Ming's reasonable analysis, Oscar, Tang San, and the other students all fell silent. The image of Shrek Academy as an unconventional and monstrous academy in their minds was being shattered bit by bit by Yun Ming's words.

Hearing Yun Ming's analysis, Yang Wutian and Ning Rongrong's guardians, who were hiding in the shadows, suddenly realized, "Is Shrek Academy really that bad?!" As for Tang Hao... he didn't hear anything. He went back to be with his wife; he hadn't seen her for days and planned to go back and check on her before coming back.

Ning Rongrong's guardian was now a little panicked. He feared that Shrek Academy would ruin their sect's little princess, so he decided to send an urgent reply to the sect leader soon, asking for a decision. Meanwhile, Yang Wutian was also prepared to act at any moment, because he felt that Flander was almost driven mad by Yun Ming's chatter!

Flander was no longer the confident man he once was. His face was deathly pale, his hands were clutching his head, and his eyes were bloodshot. He seemed to be on the verge of madness. The two principles that Shrek Academy had for teaching Soul Masters had been utterly trampled upon by Yun Ming today. This had dealt him a huge blow, and he was now desperately trying to find Shrek's strengths.

Seeing that Flander was almost delirious, Yun Ming didn't want to say anything more. He felt quite sad. From Flander's emotional changes today, Yun Ming could tell that he really didn't know how to teach students, but he also really cared about Shrek Academy. It was just a pity that his abilities and vision were not enough to support his ambition.
