Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Not long after he left, a figure appeared at the edge of the open space.

"teacher!"

Using her mental powers to sense the approaching person immediately, Ning Rongrong quickly stood up to greet them.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly stopped and greeted him, while also wondering why this teacher had suddenly come down the mountain.

"Okay."

After reminding the two of them, Tian Hao took a step forward, his body twisting as he did so, continuously taking steps to drive his body to twist and turn to various degrees.

With a graceful figure and elegant posture, his movements were unpredictable, much like Tang San's Ghost Shadow Step, making it difficult to predict where he would go next.

Both girls watched very attentively, understanding that their teacher was imparting secret techniques to them.

During the initial assessment, they were envious of Tang San's self-created movement-based soul skills. They never expected that their teacher would teach them movement techniques so quickly, and that these techniques would be even better than the ones Tang San used.

At least her posture looks beautiful, unlike Tang San's strange and eerie movements.

"This set of Zixia Steps is a set of steps that accompany the Zixia Meditation Method. It can also be said to be a dynamic practice method of the Zixia Meditation Method, which allows you to practice the Zixia Meditation Method while moving."

Although the lack of the integration of the purple energy of heaven and earth cannot enhance the Purple Cloud Soul Power, it can further refine the Purple Cloud Soul Power, improve your control, and also be applied to combat and travel.

The first stage is performed on the ground, the second stage is on the water, the third stage is in the air, stepping on the air and riding the wind, the fourth stage is spatial teleportation, and the fifth stage is time, but I have not yet studied the time aspect.

"Practice this as soon as possible; you'll need it at the Grand Arena tonight."

After performing a knock-off version of Lingbo Wei... no, it was Zixia Bu, Tian Hao explained it to the two women, then stepped back to the edge of the field and signaled them to begin their practice.

"Teacher, you've only used it once, how could anyone possibly remember it?"

Ning Rongrong objected. Although the teacher hadn't used the movements quickly, there were too many steps. Even though she had a strong memory, she couldn't remember everything after just one time.

Tian Hao smiled without saying a word, but Zhu Zhuqing, who had a more keen observation, looked at the ground and uttered a word.

"footprint."

Reminded, Ning Rongrong looked down at the ground and indeed found a series of footprints.

Although I didn't remember it completely before, I was able to learn it quickly with those footprints as a guide.

At least you can get started.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Sweetly thanking her teacher, Ning Rongrong hurriedly walked to the teacher's original position, then followed the footprints one by one and turned her body. She also used her multi-purpose spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, to enhance her speed by using her second spirit skill on herself and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing followed closely behind, and with the footprints as a guide, the two girls learned very quickly.

Although the first attempt was clumsy and bumpy, at least I managed to demonstrate it once.

After just one round, both women were sweating profusely and breathing rapidly, clearly exhausted.

After a short rest, they each took out a large recovery sausage that they had asked Oscar for that morning, and continued practicing by stepping on the footprints while munching on it.

Write down the actions beforehand to avoid forgetting them.

This set of Purple Cloud Steps is very complicated, with a total of nearly 10,000 steps. Even with Ning Rongrong's second soul skill increasing the speed by 40%, it still took more than three hours to complete the first round, and the sun was almost at noon.

Fortunately, the two women had a deeper impression after the first time, and the second time only took two hours, and the third time only took one hour.

On the fourth time, following someone's reminder, the two of them used their minds to incorporate the soul power flow trajectory of the Zixia Meditation Method, which indeed perfectly matched their footwork, greatly improving their speed and agility.

The fourth time, it only took half an hour to complete, and the posture was beginning to show some beauty, no longer as awkward as before.

The most amazing thing is that with the soul power circulation trajectory of the Zixia Meditation Method, after completing one round, they not only did not feel tired, but also felt refreshed and their bodies were warm.

After eating and resting briefly, the two women resumed their practice of the Purple Cloud Steps. By sunset, they had practiced it more than ten times, barely qualifying as having mastered the basics.

"This is just a routine. You need to adjust it according to the actual situation, deal with any situation and opponent, and integrate your own fighting style into it, so as to eventually evolve your own Zixia Step."

Tonight's match at the Grand Arena is a great opportunity for some real combat. I'll go back now, take a shower, and change my clothes.

As the two women stopped to rest and eat, Tian Hao came over and reminded them.

This is a rhythm he created specifically for the two of them, and it suits them very well. With a little effort, they can easily incorporate it into their own style.

However, it is only suitable for two people. It is not that other people cannot cultivate, but they will achieve half the results with twice the effort. Without the soul power circulation trajectory of the Zixia Meditation Method, it may even damage their bones and muscles over time, and the damage will be permanent. They may even get a herniated disc or something.

"Yes, teacher, I have remembered."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing responded excitedly, and immediately used the Purple Cloud Step to run excitedly towards the wooden house, preparing to bathe and change clothes.

The day's training made them sweat a lot, especially Zhu Zhuqing, who was wearing a leather jacket. The sweat didn't evaporate easily, making her feel sticky and uncomfortable, so she had to take a shower and change.

"Teacher, are you coming to the Great Soul Arena with us too?"

After showering and changing their clothes, the two girls met at the village entrance... no, at the academy gate, and then they spotted a familiar figure. Who else could it be but their teacher?

"I'm the only teacher at Shrek Academy who gets a salary, so I have to do something for the academy."

Tian Hao said helplessly, glancing at Flander beside him.

Flanders, however, looked smug. This was the most correct and worthwhile thing he had done during the establishment of the academy.

I used to ask this person to look after the college, especially when I was away, so he was like a security guard for the college.

It is precisely because of this person's secret protection that the academy has remained safe and sound all these years, without a single accident.

This time, he even asked this person to provide practical combat guidance to those little monsters, and the location was at the Great Battle Arena.

Of course, it was thanks to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing that we were able to persuade this person; otherwise, she might not have agreed.

"Don't the other teachers get paid?"

Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled. Although she had heard that Shrek Academy was in dire straits, surely it couldn't afford to not be able to pay the teachers' salaries?

"Ahem... Now that everyone's here, let's set off."

With a dry cough, Flander called for everyone to set off and led the way.

Some things are better left unsaid; it's better to keep them to yourself.

"Teacher, how much salary does the dean pay you?"

As they walked, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask curiously, and everyone else perked up their ears, including Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who had been in the academy the longest and were unaware of this.

"Monthly salary of one hundred gold soul coins."

He said calmly, "This is all information left behind by that underling. He's really pathetic."

That person was an elite member of their Spirit Hall, a graduate of the Spirit Hall Academy. He personally communicated with him, giving him pointers on the Purple Cloud Meditation Method, the Deadly Three Divine Swords, the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, and so on, which led to the person successfully figuring it out by himself while sitting here.

By outside standards, he is a true prodigy; paying such a being a monthly salary of 100 gold soul coins would be an insult.

After all, a Soul Master can receive a monthly subsidy of one hundred gold Soul Coins at the Soul Venerable level.

"what?"

Dai Mubai and the others were taken aback. It wasn't that it was too high, but rather that it was too low. They immediately turned to look at Flander, who was walking ahead.

Don't you feel any guilt offering such a powerful expert a monthly salary of 100 gold soul coins?

As if sensing the strange looks from the people behind him, Flander quickened his pace.

That monthly salary of one hundred gold soul coins is indeed a bit insulting, especially since it was set twenty years ago and hasn't increased by a single copper soul coin in twenty years, which is really unreasonable.

But this is already very good. In the entire college, only that one person receives a salary; the others do not, including him, the dean.

"You two stay away from Flanders from now on, and don't listen to his crooked ideas, especially don't learn to gamble like him. If you dare to gamble, I'll chop off your hands."

As he walked, Tian Hao instructed his two young apprentices, his tone becoming increasingly stern towards the end.

"Yes, teacher!"

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing quickly agreed, but this displeased Flander, who was walking ahead.

"Old Yue, you're wrong about that. Gambling is a psychological game that helps enhance students' psychological qualities, observation skills, and judgment. It's an efficient way to train and improve themselves."

Flander didn't think there was anything wrong with gambling, as long as one could stick to the bottom line and know when to stop.

"There are many ways to train your mental fortitude, such as playing chess. Why do you have to gamble?"

That stuff is addictive; you can't just stop doing it because you know it's bad.

It's best to avoid getting involved. Besides, the main purpose of our Soul Master cultivation is not to fight and kill others, but to improve ourselves and eventually become gods. Don't put the cart before the horse.

However, that's your own philosophy, the academy is yours, the students are yours, and how you want to teach is your business. But don't corrupt my two disciples, or I won't hesitate to chop you up.

And you two must not only avoid gambling, but also illicit sex. Don't follow those three astray, otherwise I'd rather send you on your way than watch you fall into depravity.”

He gave a cold rebuttal, and at the end, he began to instruct his two young disciples, who quickly nodded in agreement.

Sensing the slight murderous intent that someone was displaying, Flander shrank back and didn't dare to refute anymore.

These words made Dai Mubai and the other two very embarrassed, not only because of what that person said, but also because of their own reasons.

One of them was cut off, another was played to the point of physical exhaustion, and the third was troubled by the side effects of his martial spirit, all of which were quite distressing.

"You can't learn bad things from them, or I won't talk to you anymore."

Xiao Wu also gave Tang San some instructions, her expression both fierce and cute.

Tang San could only smile wryly at this, but he quickly nodded in agreement.

At this point, he dared not disagree, otherwise his waist would suffer again.

Chapter 559 Soto Grand Arena

Flander led the way, while Dai Mubai explained the rules of the Great Soul Arena to everyone, mainly to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar were regulars at the Great Soul Arena, and had even teamed up with him in many two-on-two battles.

Zhu Zhuqing is the young lady of the Youming Zhu family, and she has participated in many battles in the Star Luo City's Great Soul Arena.

Ning Rongrong, needless to say, had followed the people arranged by her father a few times and was no stranger to the rules.

Since Tang San and Xiao Wu were the only ones unaware of this, it was necessary to explain it to them properly.

Taking Tang San and Xiao Wu to register, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also took out their own battle spirit badges to sign up, and the two even teamed up to sign up for a two-on-two battle.

"Little monsters, you are all geniuses among geniuses, destined to become future prodigies. Your next course and training task is to obtain Silver Soul Souls in the Great Soul Arena..."

After everyone had signed up, Flander gathered the seven of them together to talk about his next training goals, but before he could finish speaking, Tian Hao shoved him aside.
