Soul Land: I Became Qian Xunji’s older brother

After an eight-day holiday, Tang San and the others finally had their first class at Shrek Academy.

Early that morning, as Tang San and the others gathered, Qian Renchuan also brought Xiao Wu to a corner of the training ground to observe Shrek Academy's training methods.

However, after a while, Flander appeared before everyone with a joyful expression, as if he hadn't lost a friend. Beside him was a familiar figure.

Qian Renchuan focused his gaze. Wasn't that the poker-faced, dead-eyed, constantly self-aggrandizing Yu Xiaogang, the Master who spouted theories but was actually useless and whose Soul Power could never break through level thirty?

"Haha, children, you are truly lucky to have come to Shrek Academy this year. Let me introduce someone to you."

Flander said, pushing Yu Xiaogang forward. He excitedly introduced him, "This is my old friend, also the Wisdom Corner of the Golden Iron Triangle back then, the theoretical Master who published the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls, Yu Xiaogang."

Heh, he's utterly useless, but he certainly has many titles.

Listening to Flander's boasting, Qian Renchuan rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, 'Even my janitor probably knows more than this Master, and their Soul Power is above level thirty.'

"Cough, cough."

Then, Flander patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder and solemnly declared, "From today onwards, Yu Xiaogang will be your teacher. I believe that under his guidance, you will all have a bright future, especially since Tang San is his disciple."

Because the Shrek Academy students hadn't yet witnessed Tang San's abilities, and Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing hadn't fought Zhao Wuji with Tang San, they weren't particularly impressed with Yu Xiaogang.

As for the Master, listening to Flander's introduction, he clearly enjoyed it, raising his head proudly with a confident smile playing on his lips.

Then, his dead-fish eyes looked at everyone equally, and he said indifferently, "I will be your teacher from now on. I've reviewed your information, and I will put you through brutal devil training. Furthermore, my training methods are specially tailored to your conditions, so I do not wish for you to refuse anything, nor should you go against me because you can't endure hardship. Understand?"

"Understood~"

It was clear that several people were not impressed by Yu Xiaogang's words, especially Tang San and Dai Mubai. Because they had memories of becoming gods in their past lives, they naturally knew that the Yu Xiaogang in front of them was actually just a useless glutton. What kind of nonsense theories? Wasn't that common knowledge in the Soul Master world? How did it become something you, the Master, summarized? If it weren't for you, Soul Masters ten thousand years ago wouldn't have known how to cultivate.

Weren't Yu Xiaogang's theories just like his Martial Soul—all hot air?

Seeing that the reaction of the people on the field was not enthusiastic, the insecure Yu Xiaogang was displeased. He said coldly, "As a Soul Master, a person must have a strong physique. The stronger the physique, the higher the absorption limit of Soul Rings."

Saying that, Yu Xiaogang pointed to eight large stones not far away and said, "You will carry these stones, according to your needs, and run twenty laps around Shrek Academy. You are not allowed to eat until you finish."

As soon as Yu Xiaogang's outrageous statement fell, the Shrek Academy students immediately became a bit restless. 'No, are you kidding? Such large stones, carrying them for twenty laps? Are you training us like livestock?'

'If you're so amazing, why don't you carry one and run a few laps yourself?'

"What? Why aren't you running? Don't you want to eat today?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly. 'What do your gazes mean? Is my training method not good enough?'

Under Flander's intimidating presence, the few of them reluctantly carried the stones, their faces showing some bitterness. 'Isn't this bullying?'

Seeing them start to run, a relieved smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. Under his guidance, these geniuses would surely become even greater talents.

At that time, he would be a true Master.

There are still three years until the All-Continent Advanced Academy Tournament. I must find a way for them to participate so that I can also make a name for myself and prove that I am by no means a good-for-nothing.

Yu Xiaogang was still happily contemplating his future plan for vindication when he saw Qian Renchuan and Xiao Wu watching from the side. He immediately got angry. 'What's wrong with these two?'

"Why aren't you two training yet?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang talking to him, Qian Renchuan spread his hands, pointed at the few people who hadn't gone far, and smiled, "Do you want me to train like a turtle carrying a stone? This kind of trash training method, I really don't know which organ a person used to come up with it. It's simply misleading students."

"What did you say? My method was obtained through testing and can strengthen the physique and increase the absorption limit of Soul Rings."

Listening to Qian Renchuan's harsh mockery, and the questioning glances from the others who hadn't gone far, Yu Xiaogang's cheeks quickly flushed, and his eyes were bloodshot with anger.

"This method, while strengthening the physique, causes great damage to the body. And it's not like the better the physique, the higher the absorption limit of Soul Rings, okay? Soul Rings ten thousand years or older will have a soul impact. One careless mistake and you'll become an idiot."

Qian Renchuan looked at the thin-skinned Yu Xiaogang and rolled his eyes, seemingly not giving him any face. 'A good-for-nothing should just honestly be a good-for-nothing. Why are you jumping around?'

"How is that possible? The better the physique, the higher the absorbed Soul Ring—isn't that common sense? How can there be a soul impact?"

This knowledge clearly touched Yu Xiaogang's blind spot. He somewhat reluctantly looked at Flander.

That look was as if to say, 'Why have you never told me?'

Flander looked innocent about this. 'You ramble on every day, I thought you knew everything.'

But he couldn't refute his good brother, so he could only silently lower his head.

Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had daggers in his back from everyone's stares, making him wish he could escape. But for the sake of his insignificant pride, he still bit the bullet and said, "Do you have a better method then? Although my method harms the body, it can be remedied by nourishing it with herbs."

Seeing this, Qian Renchuan said, "What kind of herbs can you afford? They're probably just common herbs. While they can treat external injuries, internal injuries cannot be cured by those herbs."

"Furthermore, Xiao Wu and I both have specialized training equipment."

Saying that, Qian Renchuan took out a medium-sized circular device and presented it to everyone.

"This is a gravity field device, which can appropriately adjust gravity for training. Of course, you can't buy this, but you can use Zhao Wuji's gravity field as a substitute. It's much better than running with stones on your back."

After speaking, Qian Renchuan was too lazy to bother with the stubborn Yu Xiaogang. There would be a time to deal with him later; let him be stubborn for a few more years.

He then pulled Xiao Wu and left the area, preparing to cultivate with her and also take a medicinal bath together to see if Xiao Wu had grown.

"What are you looking at? You continue training."

Seeing Qian Renchuan leave, Yu Xiaogang's face turned as dark as an old lump of coal. He snapped at the people around him in a bad mood.

The few people continued to run reluctantly, cursing Yu Xiaogang's ancestors for eighteen generations in their hearts. 'There's clearly a better way, so why aren't you willing to use it?'

Midway, Ning Rongrong couldn't take it anymore and simply threw down her burden, revealing her Little Devil Girl personality.
