In the morning, theory class.
Tiandou Class 1, classroom.
On the podium, Zhilin Education Committee member was explaining knowledge about soul beasts to the students.
How to identify the cultivation level of soul beasts, how to analyze their weaknesses through their habits, how to save lives in a forest filled with soul beasts, how to prevent sneak attacks from soul beasts, how to drive away soul beasts, etc.
For soul masters, knowledge about soul beasts is extremely important, but they spend the whole day practicing, and after practicing, they are physically and mentally exhausted, so they have no intention of reading books about soul beasts.
Theoretical classes are a way for soul masters to quickly acquire knowledge about soul beasts.
Experienced teachers or those who specialize in theory can organize the soul beast knowledge that soul masters need, and then let students learn in the most direct way.
In this theory class, all the students were listening attentively, because they all knew that after listening to a theory class on soul beast knowledge, they would benefit for the rest of their lives.
Lu Buliang happened to lack knowledge about soul beasts, so of course he listened very carefully. When he enters the Sunset Forest alone in the future, he would face threats from various soul beasts, so having more knowledge about soul beasts would definitely be beneficial.
Education Commissioner Zhilin was very satisfied with the students' performance in class. The theoretical course on soul beast knowledge was the easiest and most fulfilling course he had ever taken.
"Hmm?" Zhilin's satisfied smile suddenly turned serious as he glanced at each student's seat, and he shouted, "Dugu Yan!"
"Yanyan, Yanyan, Yanyan…"
It was not until Yu Tianheng called out her name in a low voice for the third time that Dugu Yan raised her head slightly from the desk, and her sleepy eyes swept ahead in confusion.
"What did you do last night?" Zhilin asked sternly, "You are the first student who dares to sleep in my class!"
Oslo chuckled, "Zhilin Education Committee Member, Sister Yanzi is also the first student who told you to shut up."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Dugu Yan was finally awakened by the mocking laughter and glared at Oslo fiercely. Oslo was so scared that he quickly shrank his neck and hid behind Ye Lingling, thinking that as long as he couldn't see Dugu Yan, Dugu Yan wouldn't be able to see him.
"Silence – class is in session!" After a loud shout, the classroom instantly became quiet, and Zhilin continued to explain the knowledge about soul beasts.
Dugu Yan didn't dare to sleep anymore and sat up straight to listen to the class. She would not do this normally, but last night she couldn't sleep so she went to the rooftop to admire the moon and found that Lu Buliang was secretly practicing on the rooftop late at night.
Dugu Yan had already been unable to sleep because of being defeated twice by Lu Buliang, and seeing how diligently Lu Buliang was practicing, she couldn't sleep even more.
So, she stayed up late in the dormitory last night and practiced meditation, which is why she is not in a good state today.
After all, meditation is not a substitute for sleep.
"Yanzi, if you don't sleep for a long time, it will induce a decline in cognitive function, which will manifest as inattention, memory loss, and even cognitive impairment. In the long run, you will become mentally retarded." A clear and light voice sounded behind Dugu Yan, "You must ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late for a long time."
After hearing this "well-intentioned" reminder, Dugu Yan turned around and looked at Lu Buliang who was sitting behind him. It was he who made the voice.
"Lü Buliang, didn't you stay up late last night?" Dugu Yan was curious, "Why do you look so energetic?"
Lu Buliang stared at Dugu Yan's slightly dark-rimmed eyes and said with a smile, "Guess."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Yu Tianheng, who was sitting on the right side of Dugu Yan, was a little flustered. "What's going on? Did you stay up late to practice together last night?"
Dugu Yan turned around and looked at the podium, did not answer, and listened to the class quietly.
Lu Buliang didn't say anything and continued listening.
Oslo tugged at Yu Tianheng's sleeve and whispered, "Captain, Lü Buliang and Sister Yanzi have been very close recently, so you'd better be careful. Who knows, one day they might not only stay up late to practice together, but also stay up late to do something else!"
Yu Tianheng snorted coldly, "Leopard, if I tell Lü Buliang and Yanyan what you said, can you withstand their fists and the venom of the green phosphorus snake?"
Oslo was silent.
Ye Lingling did not participate in the conversation, but she was also listening to everyone's whispers. Last night, Dugu Yan asked her a lot about Lu Buliang, and she asked Dugu Yan to ask Lu Buliang herself.
Did Dugu Yan really go to the boys' dormitory to ask last night?
Did they really stay up late together last night?
Thinking of this, Ye Lingling's thoughts returned to the classroom. She didn't like to think about random things, especially things that had nothing to do with her.
The college bell rang and the theory class ended.
The students left the classroom and gathered on the playground. They were about to take a practical class.
When he arrived at the Tiandou Class 1 area on the playground, Lu Buliang discovered that the teacher in charge of today's class was not Qin Ming, but Shi Gao.
It is said that Qin Ming took leave to go to another city to handle some matters, and Shi Gao has been taking his place these days.
Upon hearing the news, Oslo, Yufeng, and Shi brothers instantly became haggard, looking as if they had lost all desire to live.
Seeing that all the classmates in the class were as cowardly as Oslo and his four companions, Lu Buliang probably knew that Shi Gao's practical class seemed to be much more terrifying than Qin Ming's. This practical class might not be as simple as practical combat.
"Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Oslo, Yufeng, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Lu Buliang, and Ye Lingling. The rest of you step out." Shi Gao shouted.
In several teams, the people who were called took a step forward and walked to the front of the team.
Shi Gao looked at Lü Buliang, Yu Tianheng and the others and said with a smile, "Today's combat class will start with you. As usual, you will form a team and fight me. If you can hurt me, you will pass the combat class and you won't be punished. If you fail the combat class, you will have to run around the playground a hundred times carrying a heavy turtle shell!"
"The rest of you will watch the fight first. When Yu Tianheng and his team lose, you will each form a team of seven to fight me. Those who fail will be punished!"
After hearing Shi Gao's request, all the students nodded with a bit of bitterness on their faces.
Shi Gao's teaching method is to punish students corporally if they fail the practical class. Perhaps this teaching method is related to the fact that he is a defensive spirit master. However, none of the three teaching committee members denied the practice of corporal punishment of students.
Because soul masters not only need to cultivate their inner soul power and martial soul, but also need to strengthen their physical body, Shi Gao's teaching method is indeed a bit excessive, but it has its merits.
Oslo smiled faintly and reminded: "Teacher Shi Gao, we injured you in the last practical class. Isn't your request a little low for us now?"
"Low?" Shi Gao sneered, "Today I will let seven of you go on the field together, plus Lü Buliang. I will challenge eight of you alone, and let me see what effect you eight will produce when put together. However, the requirements for you eight do need to be changed. In the actual battle later, I will use 40% of my soul power and one soul skill to fight you."
"Teacher, which soul skill are you going to use?" Yu Feng was a little scared.
Shi Gao smiled, "Don't worry, I will only use my first soul skill."
"That's easy!" Oslo showed a hint of confidence on his face, and hummed to Shi Gao, "With the eight of us together, we have Lingling's healing ability, and Lü Buliang's shadow support. Lü Buliang and Sister Yanzi can form a double control lineup. Isn't it possible that we can't beat you?"
Half an hour later.
On the playground, Lü Buliang, Yu Tianheng and the others were completely defeated in the actual combat with Shi Gao, and failed the practical combat class.
At this moment, eight people were running on the playground as punishment, carrying heavy green turtle shells on their backs.
"Damn it, big guy, how come your father's first soul skill is so different from yours?" Yu Feng asked Shi Mo, who was also running as punishment, while running, "Even the eight of us together can't shake his tortoise shell defense!"
Shi Mo replied, "Once the Black Tortoise Martial Soul has a Martial Soul True Body, its defensive capabilities will be fully utilized. Even without the Martial Soul True Body, its defense under normal conditions is several times that of others. Moreover, with the enhancement of the first soul skill, if we want to shake my father's defense, our attack power must be at least at the Soul Ancestor level."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Oslo complained, "I can't believe that Teacher Shi Gao's tortoise shell defense can actually protect against Sister Yanzi's green phosphorus red and purple poison without taking anti-poison pills. Your Black Tortoise Martial Spirit is too abnormal!"
Hearing this, Lü Buliang suddenly remembered something. He stopped with the heavy green tortoise shell on his back, and then ran side by side with Dugu Yan behind him. He asked, "Yanzi, what was the dark green pill you gave us to eat when we were fighting with Teacher Shi Gao just now?"
"That's an anti-poison pill." Before Dugu Yan could say anything, Oslo, who was running in front, said, "Sister Yanzi's poison fog control will not distinguish between friend and foe. In order to avoid accidentally hurting teammates, Sister Yanzi will use the venom of the green phosphorus snake to condense an anti-poison pill for us to take before each battle. In this way, we will not be affected by her poison fog."
"Really?" Lü Buliang looked at Dugu Yan in surprise. "You are not even very skilled in controlling your soul power, but you can condense seven anti-poison pills for us in one go?"
Dugu Yan was about to speak, but Oslo spoke first, "It's not as difficult to condense the anti-poison pill as you think. We just need to gather the poison mist and weaken the toxicity to form a pill bead-like shape. Since the green phosphorus snake venom contained in the anti-poison pill is weaker, we will not be affected by the green phosphorus snake venom after taking it, and our bodies will also develop a certain resistance to the green phosphorus snake venom."
"Sister Yanzi's ability to condense anti-poison pills is actually equivalent to a sword-wielding soul master being able to condense sword energy. It's no big deal."
Dugu Yan couldn't bear it any longer, and with a running start, she kicked Oslo hard in the butt. With a loud "ouch!", Oslo and the tortoise shell on his back tumbled several times in the air before falling to the ground.
Lu Buliang roughly understood Oslo's explanation. In the team battle just now, Dugu Yan asked his teammates to take the dark green pill, which is the so-called anti-venom pill. To put it simply, it is similar to a snake venom serum.
Taking the anti-venom pill condensed by Dugu Yan is equivalent to injecting snake venom serum into the body, thereby obtaining antibodies that resist the green phosphorus snake venom. In this way, you will not be affected by the green phosphorus snake venom for a short period of time.
"Yanzi, how long can the anti-poison ability of your anti-poison pill last?" Lu Buliang asked, "In the actual battle just now, it seems that you only gave us one dose. Does this mean that it can last at least half an hour?"
Dugu Yan nodded and said, "If you take my anti-poison pill, you will not be affected by the green phosphorus poison in my green phosphorus snake venom mist within half an hour."
"Then if I take your anti-poison pill, how long can I last in the poisonous fog cast by your grandfather?" Lu Buliang asked with interest.
