Douluo Continent Chat Group: Building My Academy

At the country restaurant, the group wolfed down their food, with Zhao Wuji, that wild bear-like fellow, eating the most voraciously.

After enduring so many days of wind and rain, they were finally able to eat a hot, freshly cooked meal, and naturally, they ate to their hearts' content.

After a long while, Flander stretched lazily, looked at Zhao Wuji who was still gulping down his food, and said directly:

"Old Zhao, you're still the slowest eater. You can pay the bill later."

"Damn it!" Zhao Wuji cursed, but he didn't stop eating and drinking. "You old miser, I'll pay, I'll pay."

The other three looked at the scene with no surprise, but Qin Ming shook his head and chuckled.

His teachers...

After finishing his rest, Flander became serious and looked at Qin Ming.

"Qin Ming, is the academy ready?"

Before leaving, Flander entrusted Qin Ming with his life savings, asking him to contact the architecture school.

Qin Ming is a gentle and conscientious person, and Flander is very confident in entrusting him with tasks.

"Teacher, it was finished a few days ago, and I've been waiting for you to review it."

"Haha, great!"

Soul Masters are also an important part of the world's workforce. The most famous are naturally the combat-type Soul Masters, but the life-type Soul Masters permeate all aspects of society.

Having lived in Soto City for so long, Qin Ming had already built up his own network of connections.

After Flander and the others left, Qin Ming found a Soul Master contractor, and the school was built in just one week.

After Zhao Wuji finished eating and paid, the group immediately set off and soon arrived at a building that stood out from the crowd in a small village south of Soto City.

At first glance, the first thing you see is the pure white marble, with a wall standing guard outside, followed by a sturdy and exceptionally wide iron gate made of high-quality steel. On either side of the entrance are large stone carvings, not statues, but two lines of text.

"As heaven's movement is ever vigorous, so should a gentleman constantly strive for self-improvement; as earth's condition is receptive, so should a gentleman cultivate virtue and bear all things with magnanimity."

Flander glanced at the two stone sculptures and nodded with great satisfaction.

He said that he wondered why schools liked to place such large rocks, as they did look pleasing to the eye. Perhaps this was also a perspective from the principal's point of view.

"Old Zhao, Old Li, Old Lu, Old Shao, and Qin Ming, read these two sentences carefully. From now on, these will be our school's slogan."

"Strive for self-improvement and cultivate virtue; all teachers and students must keep these eight words firmly in mind!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Qin Ming responded excitedly. He knew his teacher was extraordinary, and after seeing those two sentences, he was speechless with admiration.

Zhao Wuji muttered to himself twice, then nodded knowingly. These two sentences seemed to have some merit; no wonder he was such a penny-pincher.

Pushing open the door, you'll find a huge training ground. In one corner, there are many wooden, stone, and iron stakes for practice, allowing offensive and agile attack-type Soul Masters to spar. In the other corner, there are various specially made obstacles and a balance track.

Strength and speed are the two abilities that are easiest to train, and they must be part of your daily morning routine. What's it called again? Right, campus running is a must.

Crossing the playground leads to the classroom, complete with desks and chairs. Flander then invites Zhao Wuji to sit down, a perfectly safe and sound arrangement.

Knowledge-based education is also essential, and Flander plans to send Lu Qibin, who is the oldest among them and also the one who loves reading the most.

Next was the canteen. Qin Ming had already had the first batch of stored grain delivered, and the kitchen was fully stocked with firewood, rice, oil, salt, chicken, duck, fish, and shrimp.

Shao Xin went in to check immediately, his smile never fading. As a food-type Soul Master, he would naturally be the head chef of the school in the future.

Zhao Wuji patted the cafeteria table as usual, and seeing that the table was undamaged by his pat, he nodded in satisfaction.

Things for students must be durable.

Teachers' offices, classrooms, living quarters, student dormitories, shower rooms, toilets...

Upon closer inspection, every single detail was quite good. While not the best, it was certainly excellent.

Finally, Flander came out of the training room that Qin Ming had specially built for him, took pictures of the surroundings, and felt very gratified as the wind blew through them.

This is the foundation of the school; if we want to surpass other schools in the future, we must focus on this.

The cultivation method of a Soul Master can also be considered "a kind of breathing," which is to resonate with the soul power in nature.

Just like in the realm of ice and fire, the growth rate of medicinal plants is several times that of ordinary places, precisely because of the natural environment there.

With the knowledge in his mind, Flander was confident in creating a high-concentration cultivation environment, and now with the medicinal herbs in reserve, he was even more confident.

The entire campus has been inspected. The five-story main building, along with several side buildings and residential areas, is not as grand as a university, but it is small yet complete.

Flanders laughed and patted Qin Ming on the shoulder, showering him with praise.

"You did a great job! I knew it would be good to entrust this to you. I'll remember that and there will be a suitable gift for you."

Qin Ming smiled shyly, "As long as, as long as you teachers are willing to let me stay here, that's fine."

"What, you don't want to graduate?"

"No." Qin Ming shook his head seriously. "I was adopted by the teachers. You have nurtured me to this day. My home is where you are."

"You little rascal."

Flanders smiled with satisfaction; this was what a healthy mentor-student relationship should be like.

"Then stay here. Do a good job, and you'll be the head of student affairs here someday."

"Yes, teacher!"

Qin Ming finally felt relieved; he had no desire to leave the teachers who cared about him.

"Oh, right, teacher, there's one more thing. Our school doesn't have a name yet."

"I've already thought of this. Didn't you see the sign at the entrance? It's called Tianxing Academy."

"Tianxing? That's a very nice name, but teacher, why not call me the next line?"

"Because 'sky' sounds better than 'landscape'."

Flander said confidently that he originally wanted to call it Golden Scale Academy, because a golden scale is no ordinary fish; it can transform into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds. However, it didn't sound as good as Tianxing.

"You old miser, you can fly, that's why it's called Skywalker Academy, right?" Zhao Wuji said with a sneer.

"Not only that," Flander smiled. "What level of cultivation do you think a Soul Master needs to reach to be able to traverse the heavens?"

The group was taken aback, then realized that to remain airborne, one needed at least a Soul Saint cultivation level.

Of course, there is still a big difference between walking on air and flying. If you don't have the ability to fly in your martial soul or soul skill, you can only walk on air at most.

Is this the teacher's ambition? To ensure that the students here must at least reach the Soul Saint level.

Qin Ming became even more excited. No wonder he was his teacher!

"Of course, there is still a problem: we have a school, but we don't have any students."

Flander rubbed his head and said that it was really difficult to awaken soul power in a small village. They had been stationed here for so long and had only seen three children with soul power.

However, it's not a big problem. Once he reveals his Soul Saint cultivation level, he will have no shortage of students.

"By the way, teacher, about this."

Qin Ming seemed to have thought of something and spoke hesitantly.

"The foreman who built this place for us said he could waive half of the cost, and he would pay for it out of his own pocket."

"real!?"

"But he has one request: that his son enroll here."

"If we have soul power, there's no problem. Wait, even if we don't have soul power, it's still okay!"

If the fees could be waived by half, Flanders would even let the child hold a temporary position here.

"He does have some soul power, not bad, level four, but that child's martial soul is a bit special."

"I remember that the foreman's martial spirit was a shovel. How bad could his child's martial spirit be?"

"His child's martial spirit is jade."

"Jade?"

"It's just ordinary jade, and the material is the same. It can be smashed by any random stone. The Spirit Hall's awakened spirit masters consider it a half-useless spirit."

"That's alright, let that child enroll. Aren't we got plenty of useless martial spirits here?"

Flander didn't care about the Dao. Currently, the best martial spirit among the three children he was teaching was a scythe, while the other two were a handkerchief and pig feed.

These four children will serve as the foundation for their education and success.
