Chapter 61: Leaving a Mark in School History, Farewell to Tianshui!
Yu Xiaolie was not in a hurry to acquire a soul ring.
Instead, he chose to stay at Tianshui College to provide special training for the students.
The biggest problem for the Tianshui team is that they are afraid of close combat.
"You must first overcome your own psychological fears."
Yu Xiaolie stood in front of the students and spoke with a serious expression.
"But coach, we're not good at close combat. We have a hard time gaining an advantage in close combat."
One of the team members raised his hand.
Yu Xiaolie recognized her.
She was the team member who tried to rescue and assist Yin Qinqin in the last competition, but was ultimately forced to withdraw.
"Yes, our team was able to gain the upper hand in the early stages thanks to our long-range damage output. If we give up this advantage, wouldn't we lose even faster?"
Yin Qinqin also spoke up out of curiosity.
She did indeed put pressure on Huo Yao from the very beginning of the battle.
Upon hearing these voices, Yu Xiaolie simply smiled slightly.
"Of course, I'm not asking you to give up your advantages."
"You can avoid close combat, but you absolutely cannot, and will not, engage in close combat!"
Yu Xiaolie said with a serious expression.
"This is your biggest problem right now."
"Once the enemy gets close, you will have no fighting ability at all, and you will even start to retreat before any conflict even breaks out."
"Although you have a great advantage in suppressing enemies from a distance, once you encounter an agility-type Soul Master and are forced to close in, you will be powerless to fight back."
"Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day."
Yu Xiaolie looked at the female students and held up three fingers.
"Therefore, I have developed three plans for you."
"The first step is to overcome fear."
"The second step is to train close-quarters combat skills."
"The third step is to master the technique of using soul power for close-range suppression and skillfully utilize the effects of soul skills."
"Now, let's begin training. My requirements are very simple."
"Everyone needs to fight me in close combat for five minutes!"
"Huh? No way?"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaolie's words, the students immediately groaned in dismay.
They had witnessed Yu Xiaolie's abilities firsthand.
However, for some reason, Yu Xiaolie's words were clearly more effective than those of Teacher Shangguan.
No one objected.
...
While providing special training to these students, Yu Xiaolie did not slack off in his own training.
Yu Xiaolie scheduled the students' training for the daytime.
In the evenings, he would spar with Shui Qing'er and meditate.
This happens every day.
It goes around in circles.
A repetitive life always makes people feel that time passes quickly.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The women of the Tianshui team were very competitive; at the very beginning, they could only be tossed around by Yu Xiaolie.
In the end, they were able to keep Yu Xiaolie from making a move for a quarter of an hour, and Captain Yin Qinqin was even able to force Yu Xiaolie to retreat.
"Unconsciously, so much time has passed..."
That day, Yu Xiaolie walked into Tianshui Academy, feeling somewhat emotional.
Over the past six months, Yu Xiaolie has taught the students of Tianshui Academy how to fight and their combat strategies, and has made up for their weaknesses.
During this period, Yu Xiaolie himself also made significant progress.
Although his soul power appears to be stuck at level 30 due to the lack of a third soul ring.
But in reality, Yu Xiaolie could sense that the powerful soul force within him was definitely more than just level 30.
"Huh? What's this thing?"
As Yu Xiaolie was walking, he suddenly noticed a rather unusual portrait hanging on the wall of the academy's classrooms.
The other portraits all depict women, most of whom are middle-aged, with a few being older.
The last one, however, was a boy.
And it's a boy!
Below the portrait are three large characters: Yu Xiaolie.
Below that is a brief introduction of the teacher.
"This is..."
Yu Xiaolie blinked.
Isn't this a portrait of myself?
Why is it hanging here?
"Xiao Lie..."
Just then, a figure walked up to Yu Xiaolie's side.
"Grandma Water".
Does it look like the real thing?
Shui Jingxin had somehow ended up standing next to Yu Xiaolie, looking at him with a smile.
"Similar, but..."
"The surprise you gave me was huge..."
"Actually, at first, I just wanted you to be the team's practice partner."
Before Yu Xiaolie could finish speaking, Shui Jingxin turned her head to look at the portrait, her tone somewhat wistful.
"What I didn't expect was that you brought a lot of changes to the team in the past six months."
"These students have grown a lot under your guidance."
"I could clearly sense from them that they were more resolute and courageous than before."
"I think you are a teacher at Tianshui College."
Shui Jingxin turned around and looked at the boy in front of her.
"Truly deserving of its name."
Yu Xiaolie was taken aback, never expecting that he had unknowingly gained such recognition from Tianshui Academy.
Actually, life at Tianshui University is quite interesting.
It's not that I enjoy being surrounded by beautiful women.
Instead, Yu Xiaolie can feel a kind and beautiful atmosphere here.
It's like this is my second home.
only...
"But Grandma Water, I think I'll be leaving soon."
Yu Xiaolie remained silent for a while before speaking frankly.
He had made this decision some time ago, but Yu Xiaolie was still worried about the training situation of the Tianshui team, so he hadn't spoken up yet.
"My martial spirit cultivation progress has always been very slow, so I have always pursued practical combat and transformed myself in battle."
"This is also why I left the sect and went out to travel."
Teaching and learning go hand in hand.
During his six months at Tianshui Academy, it wasn't just Yu Xiaolie who taught the female students.
Those female students also taught Yu Xiaolie about the combat strategies of ice-attribute soul masters.
I spent more than half a year with these top-tier ice-attribute soul masters.
Yu Xiaolie almost always thought that he was born to be an ice-attribute soul master.
He also felt a little reluctant to part with it.
But now, his mission at Tianshui Academy is complete.
It's time to go somewhere else and continue to hone my skills.
The path I'm on now is unique; I'm destined not to stay in one place for my entire life.
What are your plans?
Although Shui Jingxin felt a little regretful, she ultimately did not say anything to dissuade him.
Clearly, she had long anticipated that she wouldn't be able to keep Yu Xiaolie indefinitely.
"Let's go to the far north first and get an ice-attribute soul ring, then...we'll talk about it later."
Yu Xiaolie's plan is to continue absorbing different attributes or accelerate the increase of his soul power level.
For example, you could go to the Blazing Fire Academy or go back to your second grandfather to unleash your potential in the Thunder attribute.
"I'll go with you."
Shui Jingxin looked at Yu Xiaolie.
She thought, "I'll help this extraordinary young man one last time."
...
The next day.
Tianshui College, Dean's Office.
"Grandma Water, from now on, the Tianshui team can train according to this teaching plan."
Yu Xiaolie placed a stack of files in front of Shui Jingxin.
"This training plan can be used by every Tianshui team in the future."
"In this way, there is no need to worry that the shortcomings will not be completely resolved due to changes in team members and my departure."
Over the past six months, Yu Xiaolie has gained a thorough understanding of the Tianshui team.
He carefully studied the training methods of the Tianshui team.
As a top-tier academy, Tianshui Academy naturally doesn't need Yu Xiaolie to worry about teaching ice-attribute skills.
This plan was tailor-made based on the training methods of the Tianshui team.
Especially in close combat.
I'm not saying everyone should become a fighting master.
At least, it won't make their close-quarters combat a weakness, or even a fatal flaw.
"Xiao Lie..."
Shui Jingxin's expression was somewhat moved.
"From now on, every student in the Tianshui team will remember that they had a teacher: Yu Xiaolie."
"let's go."
Yu Xiaolie smiled; he didn't care much about these titles.
However, Yu Xiaolie was also somewhat confused about his motivation for making the plan.
It was because Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er had helped him a lot, and he wanted to repay them.
Or perhaps, after spending time together, he had developed feelings for the Tianshui team.
Or perhaps both?
"Um."
Shui Jingxin nodded gently.
The two had just stepped out of the gates of Tianshui Academy when they suddenly heard calls coming from all directions.
"Xiao Lie!"
"coach!"
"Teacher Xiaolie!"
"..."
Yu Xiaolie stopped and looked back.
Shui Qing'er, along with the team's teachers and students, spontaneously came to see Yu Xiaolie off.
Each of them looked reluctant to part.
"Teacher, can I see the dragon cub again?"
A student walked up to Yu Xiaolie and spoke reluctantly.
"I want to say goodbye to it properly, and let me touch it one last time."
"certainly."
Yu Xiaolie nodded slightly and released the dragon cub.
The purple figure reappeared.
However, in the past, the students would always look at the dragon cub with excited eyes.
This time, no.
"Teacher, may I...may I kiss it?"
The student looked up again, his eyes seemingly glistening with tears.
"Can."
Yu Xiaolie did not refuse.
After spending half a year together, my relationship with these students has evolved beyond that of teacher and students; we are also friends.
After kissing the dragon cub, the student didn't leave but instead hugged it tightly.
After a long while, the other students also came forward one by one.
She looked at Yu Xiaolie with reluctance while kissing the dragon cub.
"Teacher, I will definitely take on the responsibilities of the team captain in the future and lead the Tianshui team to achieve good results."
After kissing the dragon cub, Yin Qinqin came to Yu Xiaolie and solemnly made a promise.
"I will no longer back down in close combat."
The girl who had been forced back by Firefox earlier also came to Yu Xiaolie's side.
"I'm so sorry for making things difficult for you before."
Teacher Shangguan also made a rare public apology.
"Alright, I should go now."
As the students stepped forward one by one, Yu Xiaolie took a deep breath.
"Teacher, be careful on the road."
"Teacher, I will miss you."
"..."
Yu Xiaolie smiled slightly, turned around and got into Granny Shui's carriage, heading towards the far north.
