In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 381 is simply a show!

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhu Wu and Yu Xiaogang both went to the library as usual and stayed on the first floor to read.

Do not interfere with each other.

The only difference is that Zhu Wu reads extremely fast, finishing a book in no time. Yu Xiaogang secretly estimated that Zhu Wu could finish reading all the books on the first floor in a week at most, while it would take him almost a month even if he came every day.

"Don't you need to train during the day?" Yu Xiaogang wondered, seeing that Zhu Wu came on time every day.

However, I still felt that the other party was putting on airs.

How can anyone read a book that fast?

"I guess I'll get bored and calm down after a while." Thinking this, I settled down to read my book.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was noon. Zhu Wu clocked out and left on the spot.

Yu Xiaogang chose to stay in the library and started eating the food he had prepared.

An hour later, at the intersection of the villa area.

"Brother Yingtian!" Bibi Dong, who had arrived at the intersection as agreed, waved and greeted Zhu Wu as soon as he appeared.

Zhu Wu approached unhurriedly, then opened his hand, revealing a small booklet in his palm, and nodded slightly.

"This can help you lay a solid foundation in the early stages. Take it home and study it at your own pace."

"Thank you, Brother Yingtian." Bibi Dong thanked him as she reached out and took the package, very curious about its contents.

"Don't go to the library today. If you want to implement what's in there, you'll need to find some people," Zhu Wu continued.

"Oh, okay." Bibi Dong nodded subconsciously.

"Goodbye." Zhu Wu raised his chin slightly and stepped forward.

"Goodbye, Brother Yingtian," Bibi Dong called softly, stopping in her tracks. Watching Zhu Wu walk away, she returned to her dormitory bedroom alone, sat down at her desk, and began to peruse the book in her hands. Opening the first page, the six large characters "Physical Training Manual" immediately caught her eye.

After that, the more I looked, the more shocked I became.

"Such an amazing book!" She was truly shocked. Although the book was entirely about how to train physical fitness, the breadth and detail of the knowledge it covered were something she had never heard of before. Human anatomy, medical pharmacology, and medical device manufacturing were all explained in detail.

In her view, this was practically a human body encyclopedia, with novel content that was groundbreaking.

"The process of training the body and pushing its limits is also a process of tempering one's will, which can continuously improve one's mental strength. At the same time, it can also make one's mind, body and spirit one, become more focused, and improve one's control over the body. In addition, training can also stimulate the body's activity, increase the efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and thus increase the speed of cultivation." Bibi Dong read very carefully.

"In the morning, all things revive, the air is crisp and cool, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth sinks slightly, making it an excellent time for cultivation."

"."

"This must be shown to the teacher before a decision is made." After reading it, she stood up abruptly. The contents were too precious to be leaked; in her opinion, they must not be revealed. Both the training process and the equipment needed required must be closely guarded.

Without hesitation, he immediately put the book into his soul tool, strode out of the bedroom, and rushed to the Papal Palace as fast as he could.

"Dong'er, is there something urgent?" Qian Xunji asked, seeing Bibi Dong's forehead covered in sweat and her hurried appearance.

"Teacher, this was given to me by Brother Yingtian at noon today." Bibi Dong took out the book from her soul tool and said solemnly, "I believe it is extremely important to my Spirit Hall and must be handled properly."

Ying Tian's elder brother, Qian Xunji, twitched his lips, thinking to himself that this Dragon God Douluo was really good at pretending to be young despite his advanced age.

"Oh?" she responded with a curious expression, reaching out to take the book and flipping through it.

His expression quickly turned serious.

"Sending my disciple to befriend him was definitely the right decision. This Dragon God Douluo is no ordinary person!" He had no doubt that this was something capable of changing the world of Soul Masters. To be able to give away something like this so casually, he suddenly felt that getting beaten up back then wasn't such a bad deal after all.

Of course, Tang Hao, the instigator, cannot be let off the hook.

Thinking this, he looked up and said, "Dong'er, you should go back to the academy first. The teacher will arrange for someone to make the equipment mentioned in the book as soon as possible."

"Yes, teacher," Bibi Dong replied respectfully.

Qian Xunji watched Bibi Dong leave, and then immediately went to the Hall of Worship to discuss matters with his father, Qian Daoliu, and the elders.

After reading it, Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed.

"No wonder His Majesty Yingtian said before that one could increase the lifespan of a soul ring by training one's body."

There really is a concrete way to do this.

"Let's implement it in Wuhun City first." Qian Daoliu turned his head. "Ji'er, arrange for someone to find another area in Wuhun City to establish a primary and intermediate soul master academy, and escort all the outstanding commoner soul masters from various places here to be trained in a concentrated manner based on the contents of this book."

"Okay." Qian Xunji nodded.

Shortly after, the meeting adjourned and personnel were assigned.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong returned to the academy, tidied herself up, and rushed to the library immediately.

"Brother Yingtian!" Yu Xiaogang greeted her with a smile, though she was glancing at him with jealousy out of the corner of her eye.

"Did you go to see your teacher?" Zhu Wu asked softly, turning his head.

Bibi Dong's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said somewhat reservedly, "Brother Yingtian, the things you gave me are too precious. I think it would be better to show them to our teacher first. It would be safer to have our teacher arrange for someone to handle the things involved."

Zhu Wu nodded slightly, "If handled well, it can indeed widen the gap with other forces."

"It also prevents the research results of the forces behind you from being leaked, doesn't it?" Bibi Dong added.

If Bibi Dong in the original story could be so considerate, the Spirit Hall wouldn't have ended up in such a state of destruction. Zhu Wu sighed inwardly.

He smiled, "Go upstairs and read your book."

"Mm." Bibi Dong nodded, then said softly, "See you later, Brother Yingtian."

She turned around and walked gracefully towards the second floor.

Yu Xiaogang remained silent and continued reading, while the scattered male students around him watched with envy.

He glanced at Zhu Wu and fell silent.

So handsome, there's no comparison!

As the sun set, evening quickly arrived. Bibi Dong went downstairs on time and returned to the dormitory with Zhu Wu, who had just finished get off work.

"Brother Yingtian, how long do you plan to stay at our academy this time?" Bibi Dong couldn't help but ask as they walked.

"I don't know yet," Zhu Wu said. "Let's wait and see after the Soul Master Competition is over."

"I see." Bibi Dong murmured, then changed the subject, "Brother Yingtian, once the teacher has prepared the equipment, I estimate I won't be able to go to the library for quite some time. However, I will definitely go to the weekly discussion we agreed on before."

"Yes." Zhu Wu nodded. "This Soul Master Competition is indeed quite important for your Spirit Hall. Train hard."

"I will definitely lead the team to win the championship, Brother Yingtian, just watch," Bibi Dong said confidently.

"Then I'll wait and see." Zhu Wu nodded.

Bibi Dong didn't ask any more questions and quietly followed Zhu Wu towards the dormitory.

"Goodbye, Brother Yingtian." Upon reaching the intersection, he called out and jogged towards the dormitory.

The female team member who saw this scene from the upstairs window narrowed her eyes slightly, turned to look at her other teammates, and nodded slightly.

"Our captain is probably falling for someone."

"Am I really that charming?" Zhu Wu, who heard the voice from a distance, was taken aback.

However, this is not a good sign, he thought to himself.

After a moment's thought, he strode towards his residence.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, everyone went to work and headed to the library as usual. Bibi Dong, on the other hand, gathered the team and adjusted the training plan according to the training manual. She led the team in a jog early in the morning, and then they found a quiet grassy spot behind the training ground to sit and cultivate their soul power. In the afternoon, instead of going to the library, she led the team in light, specialized training to prepare for high-intensity training once the equipment arrived.

Meanwhile, deep in the forest behind the mountain, craftsmen secretly dispatched by the Papal Palace were working intensively to construct the site.

Inside the library, Zhu Wu remained calm and composed, continuing to read.

Although Yu Xiaogang had some doubts, he didn't think too much about it and continued reading.

For the next few days, this continued; Bibi Dong did not come to the library.

The academy tutor arrived first, coming directly to Yu Xiaogang, who was reading a book, and spoke to him in a fairly polite tone.

"Yu Xiaogang, the dean wants to see you."

"Did they find out I wasn't an exchange student sent by the family and want to kick me out?" Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Oh no."

"Okay." He remained calm and got up to leave the library with his tutor.

Before long, they arrived at the dean's office.

"Dean, you wanted to see me?" Yu Xiaogang asked calmly and respectfully.

The dean smiled and picked up a letter from the table, handing it to him.

"Yu Xiaogang, this is a letter your father asked me to wait for to be delivered."

A letter from his father? Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, then nodded and reached out to take the letter, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Dean."

"Of course," the dean said with a smile. "Yu Xiaogang, I have nothing else to say here, you can go back now."

Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and turned to leave the office.

Instead of returning to the library, he went straight back to his bedroom and sat down at the table to open the letter.

He gave him some instructions and told him to go home and visit his family after he finished his exchange and study at the Spirit Hall Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes welled up with tears. There was no doubt that the Spirit Hall had sent people to verify the information, and his father had covered for him.

"Father, watch closely, I will prove myself to you, to the family, and to the world."

Carefully put away the letter, straighten your back, and stride confidently toward the library.

When they arrived, they found that Zhu Wu was no longer there.

"Could it be that they went back?" He frowned, then stopped thinking about it and returned to his seat to continue studying.

As the sun began to set, footsteps echoed from the stairwell. Turning my head, I saw Zhu Wu coming down from the second floor.

Only then did they realize that Zhu Wu hadn't gone back; he had simply finished "flipping" through the books on the first floor and was now going upstairs to continue flipping through them.

A look of disdain flashed in his eyes, he shook his head slightly, and continued to bury himself in his studies.

With so many books on the first floor, even if you read them all at once, it would still take time to fully understand and master them.

If he can't do it, then Yingtian is even less likely to.

It's all just a show!

Zhu Wu remained calm, not even glancing at Yu Xiaogang, and strode out of the library.

Nothing was said that night, until the afternoon of the following day.

Zhu Wu went out again and saw Bibi Dong standing at the intersection waiting for him from afar.

"Brother Yingtian!" He waved and greeted him with a smile.

Zhu Wu approached unhurriedly and asked with a smile, "No training this afternoon?"

"It's all about balancing work and rest," Bibi Dong said with a smile. "Today the team will only do basic training, and we'll have a half-day rest this afternoon."

"This will be the same every week from now on, and I'll take advantage of this time to visit you."

Zhu Wu nodded slightly and asked, "How many questions do you want to ask?"

"Quite a lot," Bibi Dong said.

"Then let's not go to the library," Zhu Wu said. "Should we go to your dorm or my place?"

Bibi Dong felt her pretty face flush and whispered, "Let's go to your place instead."

My teammates are still in the dorm.

"Then come with me." Zhu Wu nodded and turned to return to his dormitory.

Bibi Dong's face was rosy. She glanced left and right, then lowered her head and followed.

"Is it really necessary to develop this fast?" The female team member upstairs, peeking through a hole in the window, looked shocked.

"What kind of magic potion did this kid give the captain? He's fallen for him so quickly!"

Lost in thought, he watched as Bibi Dong followed Zhu Wu into the house.

"Ask whatever you need to ask." In the living room, Zhu Wu walked to the sofa, sat down, and nodded slightly.

Bibi Dong walked to the other side and sat down. She took out a booklet and a pen from her soul tool, placed them on the table, and opened them.

As expected, Yu Xiaogang's theories were mostly derived from Bibi Dong. Zhu Wu glanced at the contents and thought to himself.

"Brother Yingtian," Bibi Dong's voice came.

"As we all know, Soul Masters need to absorb Soul Rings to break through their cultivation level. However, after years of research by our Spirit Hall, we have discovered that even without absorbing Soul Rings, Soul Masters can still cultivate Soul Power, but this will only manifest after they absorb Soul Rings and break through their cultivation level."

"So, can a Soul Master rely on accumulating enough Soul Power to break through and advance in rank?"

"It's possible," Zhu Wu said, "but given the current density of spiritual energy in this place, it will take a very long time."

"In comparison, absorbing a soul beast's soul ring is much more time-saving and labor-saving."

"So that's how it is," Bibi Dong said thoughtfully.

"However, there are gains and losses. Relying on absorbing soul beast soul rings to break through realms will also have negative effects." Zhu Wu continued, "After all, soul rings come from soul beasts and are external objects. Soul skills are the same; they are not something you can comprehend on your own. Moreover, if they come too easily, it can easily lead to a dependency mentality. Over time, it can easily cause soul masters to lose their creativity in thinking."

"That's why, in today's world of Soul Masters, creating your own Soul Skills has become a rare thing."

"That's true." Bibi Dong nodded solemnly.

"Of course, using the soul skills obtained from soul beasts as a foundation, and drawing inferences from them to develop your own original soul skills, is also a shortcut," Zhu Wu added. "Bibi Dong, you can try this more in the future."

"Remember not to let the soul skill itself limit your thinking."

"Yes." Bibi Dong nodded solemnly. "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Yingtian."

"The second question," he continued, "Weapon spirits, like swords, spears, and clubs, are clearly just objects in reality, but as spirits they can absorb animal-type spirit rings. These are clearly two unrelated categories. To be honest, I sometimes don't understand them."

"Furthermore, plant-type martial souls are now collectively referred to as weapon martial souls in the soul master world, but no one has ever absorbed animal-type soul rings."

"That's quite strange."

"Plant-type martial souls can actually absorb animal soul rings," Zhu Wu said with a smile. "Of course, I don't recommend it."

"Why?" Bibi Dong asked hurriedly.
