Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

The Xuan Tian Gong has a complex operating mechanism, and even a Soul Master would have to put in a lot of effort to learn it, let alone a Martial Soul consciousness with a relatively low IQ.

Therefore, even if a normal Soul Master completes the second awakening of the Tang Sect version of the Martial Soul, it will still take another month or two before they can truly practice the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Of course, if a Soul Master is stubborn enough to want to control the operation of the technique themselves, then Long You has nothing to say. One can only sigh that there really are people in this world who buy the box and return the pearl.

It's important to understand that the consciousness of a martial soul and the consciousness of a soul master are completely different.

A Soul Master's consciousness cannot remain in a meditative state at all times to maintain the refining and circulation of Soul Power. However, the pure Martial Soul consciousness can continue to operate after learning the Soul Power circulation path. After all, the process of refining Soul Power is, in essence, a process of strengthening itself for a Martial Soul.

The awakening of a Martial Soul consciousness provides one benefit: it gives the Martial Soul itself a second chance to awaken. However, an even greater benefit is that the Martial Soul consciousness can serve as a 24/7, fully automated cultivation tool for a Soul Master.

With this advantage, even if it is more difficult, Long You believes that the Soul Master will be able to teach the consciousness awakened by his own Martial Soul and learn the operating path of the technique.

However, there is one point that must be mentioned here: the reason why practitioners of the Xuan Tian Gong still need to spend one or two months after their martial soul consciousness awakens is entirely because the Xuan Tian Gong's operating path is too complicated.

If it were the simple operating route of the original Long family's martial arts, it would only take three to five days.

Okay, let's get back to the story of Long You lying in bed, instructing Xiao Yan to help him circulate the Xuan Tian Gong. We just said the Xuan Tian Gong is difficult to learn, so isn't it contradictory that Long You can have Xiao Yan circulate the technique for him?

Actually not.

How was the Mysterious Heaven Skill derived? Where is the derived content recorded? Does that content include the operational route of the Mysterious Heaven Skill?

Everything is in the Book of Witness. What is the Book of Witness? It's Long You's Martial Soul. Who is Xiao Yan? He's Long You's Martial Soul consciousness. No further explanation needed, right?

Long You began practicing the Tang Sect's secret techniques, while Bei Bei watched with envy and worked hard at the same time; Tang Ya guided Long You while also working hard herself. In short, the busy period of the past two weeks after the start of the semester has temporarily passed, and there are still two and a half months until the end of March, and everything will be back on track.

After finishing their classes during the day, Tang Ya and Bei Bei would immediately return to their dormitory, while Long You would go to the Soul Guidance Department to either listen to Fan Yu's teachings or continue to hone his forging skills.

Long You hasn't forgotten his dream of owning a mecha and wants to develop combat-aid intelligence.

The three-month introductory period passed in a flash. During these three months, the students learned more refined theoretical knowledge about soul beasts and soul masters, underwent high-intensity physical training, and also participated in several actual combat soul battles.

Although the homeroom teacher, Mr. Han Yu, was not very strict, after three months, the students who entered Shrek Academy had all made some progress.

However, Long You considered this level of progress to be insignificant. Simply put, Long You believed that these students who were able to get into Shrek Academy had definitely not given it their all during these three months.

Perhaps because the homeroom teacher's supervision was not strict, these "prodigies" in the class gradually relaxed and did not realize the cruelty of Shrek Academy at all.

Every day after class, Long You was either busy with matters concerning the Soul Guidance Department or reviewing his lessons. However, many freshmen, apart from class time, either wandered around the campus or went to Shrek City to play in groups.

With the freshman assessment approaching, the atmosphere in the class was even more relaxed than at the beginning of the semester. At this point, Long You realized that although this teacher, Han Yu, did not seem like a monster teacher according to public opinion, in essence, he was indeed a monster teacher.

Compared to teachers like Zhou Yi, who outwardly displayed their eccentricities and strictness, Han Yu's "loose" management style was actually more cruel to the new students.

This teacher is just like a real university campus teacher. Whether students learn or not depends entirely on their self-discipline. When students gradually relax due to a lack of supervision, that's when he will be completely eliminated.

Han Yu's management style might seem to have resulted in fewer dismissals than Zhou Yi's, but in reality, the number was by no means smaller. It could be said that he was someone who completely disregarded his teaching reputation.

However, Long You had no complaints about his homeroom teacher's management style. Compared to Zhou Yi, Long You preferred to be with Han Yu.

To put it simply, Zhou Yi's approach is to use rigorous training to make students develop self-discipline regardless of their individual abilities, just like Long You's military camp in his previous life.

Han Yu's approach, however, was to let the tides recede, allowing only those truly worthy of cultivation to remain after each wave. Ultimately, a Soul Master must rely on themselves.

Long You had never served in the military, and he personally felt that he wouldn't be able to withstand such rigorous training. Of course, if he were really faced with it, Long You felt that he could grit his teeth and persevere.

But those who are forced to learn may be grateful afterward, but at the time, they are absolutely resentful.

Okay, that's all beside the point. The real focus is that the freshman competition is about to begin.

In the afternoon class, Han Yu, contrary to his usual practice, did not explain any new content. Instead, he directly asked the students to form three-person teams to register for the freshman competition. The requirements were simple: no coercion, and the three students could not all belong to the same faction (such as offensive, agile, or control factions).

For Long You, this matter was very simple. As soon as the teacher finished speaking, he pulled Bei Bei and Tang Ya upstairs to register.

Long You acted quickly, but the other students in the class were a bit dumbfounded. The class had conducted several practical battles with their spirit rings, and the three conspicuous spirit rings on Long You and Bei Bei were impossible to hide.

Upon hearing about the freshman competition, many freshmen were planning to team up with powerful teammates! But now that two Soul Masters have joined forces, how are the other freshman teams supposed to compete?

At this moment, many girls in the class were staring intently at Tang Ya. If these girls' martial souls were eyes, Long You estimated that Tang Ya's life would be in danger.

Class teacher Han Yu seemed surprised that the two Soul Masters in his class would join forces. However, after briefly looking at the three of them, he didn't say much and filled out the registration form directly.
