Seeing Xiao Xiao's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Tang Yinmeng smiled and reached out her fair hand to gently help Xiao Xiao up, speaking softly to her.

"Alright, alright, no need to be so polite. You don't need to go through so much formality with me in the future."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Tang Yinmeng's originally gentle gaze instantly turned serious.

"Little Xiao Xiao, let me make this clear from the start. Although I seem very easygoing now, since you have now officially become my personal disciple, my training requirements for you will definitely be very strict!"

"Under my training, you will experience excruciating pain every day, like peeling off a layer of skin! You'd better prepare yourself mentally now!"

Upon hearing Tang Yinmeng's words, Xiao Xiao nodded, her eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

"Teacher, don't worry! Now that I've chosen the Temple of War, I'm not afraid of any hardship! I will definitely not let you down, Teacher Tang Yinmeng!"

Xiao Xiao was bursting with determination! Everyone else had come to this academy, so she naturally couldn't fall behind.

Hearing Xiao Xiao's answer, Tang Yinmeng smiled with satisfaction.

"That's good. Remember what you said today. Come on, follow me into the hall."

Tang Yinmeng turned around and gestured for Xiao Xiao to follow.

Xiao Xiao obediently followed behind Tang Yinmeng and stepped into the gate of the Temple of War.

As soon as she entered, Xiao Xiao's big eyes kept looking left and right, curiously observing everything around her.

The interior of the Temple of War is extremely spacious, and the surrounding walls are carved with countless ancient battle murals that exude an aura of iron and blood.

Just then, Xiao Xiao suddenly realized that the concentration of spiritual energy inside the Temple of War was much higher than outside! If she could cultivate here for a long time, it would definitely be of great benefit!

If time could turn back, allowing me to return to the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest once more, then no matter how many times I could do it again, I would absolutely make the same choice without hesitation! To come to this Shrek Academy in the sky, and then give up my place at the pirated Shrek Academy.

It's only been a little over three months since I entered Shrek Academy in the sky!

but!

In just three short months, the depth of knowledge she had gained, the resources she had acquired, and the terrifying leap in her own strength... all of this completely shattered her previous understanding!

Xiao Xiao felt that if she had really been blind back then and had gone to that pirated Shrek Academy... it would have been a complete waste of her life and talent!

Even if it takes a long time, it's unlikely to achieve anything.

Just as Xiao Xiao was lost in thought, Tang Yinmeng, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Xiao's cute appearance, and couldn't help but smile and ask.

"What's wrong, Xiao Xiao? Is there anything you want to ask your teacher? It's your first day, so you can speak freely."

Upon hearing Tang Yinmeng's question, Xiao Xiao quickly snapped out of her thoughts.

She had indeed had many questions on her mind for a long time, and without any hesitation, she nodded heavily and began to speak.

"Teacher, I do have a question that I'm curious about."

Xiao Xiao blinked and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"What are the specific differences between the other forces in the academy and our Temple of War?"

Xiao Xiao thought to herself, "It can't just be that the names are different, right?"

Tang Yinmeng smiled slightly and patiently began to explain to Xiao Xiao in detail.

"These five forces are, of course, fundamentally different! Moreover, their respective focuses and cultivation systems are quite different, even worlds apart!"

Tang Yinmeng extended a slender white finger and began to speak in a gentle, detailed manner.

"First is the Spirit Pagoda. The Spirit Pagoda's cultivation system focuses on nurturing the strength of the Soul Master's own Soul! They are dedicated to researching how to develop the potential of the Soul to the extreme, and how to hone the cooperation between the Soul Master and the Soul Master in battle to the point of perfect harmony and seamless coordination!"

"Those who join the Spirit Pagoda excel at unleashing the terrifying power of a soul spirit and a soul master working side by side, where the sum of its parts far exceeds the sum of its parts!"

"Secondly, there is the Tang Clan."

"The Tang Sect, on the other hand, focuses on the combination of various top-level internal energy cultivation methods, unique movement techniques, terrifying hidden weapons, and modern soul-guided technology!"

"As for the Body Sect, you should already know about it."

Tang Yinmeng smiled.

"They focus on developing their physical strength and power! They believe in using the body as a furnace, constantly pushing the limits of the human body!"

Xiao Xiao nodded, and Tang Wulin and Huo Yuhao entered the Body Sect. Tang Wulin's physical strength was so extraordinary that the Body Sect was practically created for him.

"What about the Blood God Army?"

Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

"The Blood God Army is similar to an army, responsible for dealing with invaders, and focuses on team combat, battle formation coordination, and military strength."

"As for our Temple of War..."

"It focuses on developing and utilizing the Soul Master's own Martial Soul to its fullest potential!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao nodded emphatically.

However...

As soon as she nodded, Xiao Xiao's pretty eyebrows furrowed tightly again. The doubt on her face did not lessen but instead deepened!

She looked at Tang Yinmeng with some confusion.

"But...teacher..."

Xiao Xiao asked in confusion.

"As Soul Masters, all our power originates from our Martial Soul! So, in this world, shouldn't all Soul Masters, regardless of their faction or type, focus on the use of their Martial Soul?"

Xiao Xiao felt that the phrase "emphasizing the use of martial spirits" sounded too broad and too ordinary! How could this be the absolute core feature of the War God Temple, one of the five major forces?

"Hehe, Xiao Xiao, it seems that your understanding of martial souls is still limited to the superficial aspects of soul rings and soul skills."

Tang Yinmeng said to Xiao Xiao with a smile.

"The way ordinary Soul Masters use Martial Souls is fundamentally different from what our War God Temple understands as 'using Martial Souls'!"

"You may not understand just by talking."

As Tang Yinmeng spoke, she casually and slowly raised her right hand.

With a surge of soul power, the next second, a flash of light appeared in Tang Yinmeng's palm, and her martial soul materialized out of thin air!

It was a strange object, about the size of a fist, shaped like a nut, with several sound holes of different sizes scattered on its surface.

This is Tang Yinmeng's martial soul—Xun!

At that very moment.

Tang Yinmeng gracefully held the nut-shaped fruit to her lips.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and she didn't even activate any of her soul rings!

Immediately afterwards, Tang Yinmeng gently blew a breath into the blowhole of the bell.

"Waaah—"

A deep, desolate, ancient note resounded in the hall of the Temple of War!

Xiao Xiao froze abruptly, suddenly realizing that the scenery around her had undergone a complete and drastic change!

Chapter 181: Are there four main categories of domains?

The next second, when Xiao Xiao saw the scene in front of her clearly again, her beautiful big eyes widened instantly, her face full of disbelief!

What came into view was a vast expanse of yellow sand and a desolate ancient battlefield with tattered flags fluttering in the wind!

The deafening sounds of fighting and the clanging of weapons clashing assaulted Xiao Xiao's eardrums like a tsunami!

The air was filled with a pungent, warm, and strong smell of blood!

"Where...where am I?!"

However, Xiao Xiao quickly realized that this was an illusion. She had just been standing in the Temple of the God of War. But... even though reason told her that this was an illusion, the feeling here was quite real, as if she had really stepped into an ancient battlefield.

And it was at this moment.

A gentle laugh rang clearly in Xiao Xiao's ears amidst the deafening sounds of battle.

Xiao Xiao looked closely and saw Tang Yinmeng holding the nut-shaped "Xun" in her hands. Her long dress was spotless, and she appeared in front of Xiao Xiao with a smile on her face, strolling leisurely through the ancient battlefield where blood and flesh were flying.

"Teacher, is this your soul skill?"

Xiao Xiao asked in shock, "But... I haven't seen Tang Yinmeng's soul ring at all."

Tang Yinmeng smiled and explained to Xiao Xiao.

"This is my domain—the [Yinxun Domain]!"

As Tang Yinmeng spoke, she stretched out her jade-like hand and casually pointed to the thousands of troops and horses that were fighting wildly around her.

"Within this sinister realm, the power of all my skills can be amplified by a full fifty percent! At the same time, it also comes with realistic illusion effects, capable of stripping the enemy of their senses from all angles—sight, hearing, and smell!"

"The most crucial thing is..."

A smile appeared on Tang Yinmeng's lips.

"I can also hide my tricks and killing intent in every corner of this illusion!"

At this point, Tang Yinmeng gracefully brought the xun to her lips again and began to play softly.

Waaah—!

As the deep sound waves spread out, Xiao Xiao was horrified to find that the illusionary soldiers around him, who had been fighting each other, suddenly turned around and rushed towards him like a tidal wave!

"Watch out, little Xiao Xiao!"

Tang Yinmeng's reminder had just ended.

Among the charging soldiers, the sound waves were actually hidden within the swords, spears, and halberds they were wielding!

Some soldiers' slashing attacks were merely harmless phantoms, while others' thrusting spears concealed real sonic blades!

Hundreds and thousands of soldiers surged forward, a mix of real and feints! The sonic blades were hidden among the illusions, some present, some absent! The sheer number of soldiers made it virtually impossible to defend against them!

"hiss--!"

Xiao Xiao was so frightened by the overwhelming attacks, which made it impossible to distinguish between real and fake attacks, that she retreated repeatedly!

"What a terrifying move!"

Xiao Xiao thought to herself, if they were to actually face this kind of field in real combat, the enemy would probably have their efforts wasted by this illusion before they even saw Tang Yinmeng.

If Tang Yinmeng hadn't shown up on her own initiative, Xiao Xiao wouldn't have known where she was.

Tang Yinmeng smiled slightly as she looked at Xiao Xiao's shocked expression and stopped playing.

The devastating ancient battlefield around them vanished like a bubble, and the two returned to the main hall of the Temple of War.

"How about that? Now you know how amazing this field is, right?"

Tang Yinmeng looked at Xiao Xiao and began to explain things to her with a smile.

"Actually, in our Soul Master world, domains are very powerful. Generally speaking, domains can be divided into four types: Soul Skill type, Battle Armor type, Spirit type, and Martial Soul type!"

Xiao Xiao immediately perked up her ears and listened attentively.

For her, this was yet another completely new subject of knowledge! She had never known it before.

It should be noted that martial spirits and soul skills are common among soul masters. Those without soul power are excluded, but those with soul power, even those with only half a level of innate soul power, can cultivate to level 29 and possess at least two soul skills.

However, fields are different, and not everyone has a field.

Looking into Xiao Xiao's eyes, Tang Yinmeng patiently explained.

"First is the spiritual realm, which is formed through self-comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth after a Soul Master's spiritual power breaks through to the 'Spiritual Domain Realm'."

"Secondly, there is the Battle Armor Domain, which is a powerful domain that comes with the resonance of the Battle Armor's own laws when a Soul Master wears Battle Armor of three-word level or higher!"

"As for the realm of soul skills, it is self-explanatory; it is performed by a soul master who absorbs certain soul rings and uses specific soul skills."

Tang Yinmeng paused for a moment.

"In true top-level battles, the more domains a Soul Master masters, the more advantageous it is! Especially when multiple attributes complement each other and can be used in combination, the resulting combat power can be described as a terrifying exponential increase!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao nodded repeatedly in agreement.

I couldn't even handle one of Tang Yinmeng's domains. If multiple domains were combined, it would be a direct attack from a lower dimension!

"The Martial Soul Domain is something a Soul Master is born with from the moment they awaken their Martial Soul; it is an inseparable part of the Martial Soul's characteristics! Its execution does not require any additional Soul Skills!"

"For example, the [Yin Xun Domain] that I just used is one of the Martial Soul Domains."
