Chapter 148 The Eight Trigrams and "Tranquility"
"!!!"
Three consecutive exclamation marks appeared almost simultaneously on the mobile chat interfaces of Long You and Little Fatty Song He.
In just ten seconds, a brand new group chat named "Tang Sect Without Teachers and Senior Brothers" was created. Then, the rather blurry photo, but with content that was clear enough, appeared in this new group chat.
Within half a minute, the entire group chat interface was filled with various exclamation words and exclamation marks.
This fully demonstrates that gossip is indeed a common human trait. Of course, it also shows that after awakening their martial spirit consciousness, everyone's enthusiasm for meditation has indeed decreased significantly, leading to longer nights and at least a lack of the drive to sit in bed early for meditation that they used to have.
"What are some ways to deal with a whole bunch of single people?"
"That's going too far, really too far. It would be really unreasonable not to have a table of this at Manxianglou."
“Guangmanxianglou won’t do. I’ve been craving braised pig’s trotters from that place in the South District for a long time, but I haven’t bought them because they’re too expensive.”
"..."
What happened at the inn that night remains unknown to outsiders. However, in the group chat, a bunch of people managed to put together a huge feast. In the end, they got so hungry that they had to ask Fatty Song to bring back some late-night snacks from Shrek City.
Okay, let's get back to the main topic. After the dual-elemental battle in Panlong Realm ended, the academy no longer standardized the login time for Panlong Realm. In other words, as long as you have a suitable room (one that can withstand attacks, otherwise you'll suffer offline while fighting online) and a Panlong set, you can log in to the Panlong Realm VR virtual game at any time.
The advantage of doing this is that students, whether from the Martial Soul system or the Soul Guidance system, can experiment at any time if they have an idea.
After all, the online resources in Panlong Realm are all virtual. With a little effort, it's easy to accumulate resources that would otherwise take a long time to find in reality.
Moreover, without the limit on the number of game lives, many things can be tried an unlimited number of times in order to get the best result.
However, fully opening up the Panlong Realm is not without its drawbacks. The most obvious one is that if you want to survive in the human territory of the Panlong Realm for a long time, you must have a building that can guarantee that it will not be invaded at will.
This is a requirement that will significantly increase the survival costs for all players.
Why is there such a requirement? This needs to be analyzed slowly: First of all, we cannot do things that could cause the underlying logic of Panlong Realm to collapse, such as suddenly logging off or going offline (appearing or disappearing).
This means that you must find a place where no one else is present when logging in or out. This raises another new question: how can you ensure safety in such an empty place?
The answer is simple: all you need is a home in a human city on the Panlong Realm continent.
Some might say, "Why go through all that trouble? There are plenty of empty spaces outside the city." But please consider the environment.
What kind of place is the Panlong Realm Continent? It's a barbaric continent where humans are at a complete disadvantage and magical beasts dominate. On such a continent, does the danger of the wilderness even need to be emphasized?
If you log off in the wilderness, how can you guarantee that you won't run into World of Warcraft when you log back in, without a forced pause to allow time to pass? And how can you guarantee that you won't encounter any danger during the few minutes you spend getting used to the game?
It's fair to say that the adjustments to Panlong Realm have once again indirectly targeted the Martial Soul system. After all, after a month of hard work, none of the students in the Soul Guidance system have yet to settle down in a city.
Even Long You and his companions, who directly abandoned their birth city, were rewarded with a manor in Tiemu City as their residence for their contributions.
The academy's academic life returned to a superficial calm. Students who needed to take tests in the virtual environment would seize every opportunity to immerse themselves in the Panlong Classroom during their free time, while those who were not interested in this virtual game mode completely resumed their previous routines.
The reason why this calm is only superficial is that, as Bei Bei and Tang Ya analyzed, the core disciples of the Martial Soul Department are indeed looking down on the Soul Guidance Department and spreading rumors that the Soul Guidance Department won the battle against the two departments by using underhanded tricks.
Although these people dared not openly speak ill of Bei Bei after Yan Shaozhe's punishment, they still subtly influenced her in various ways.
Faced with this situation, the Soul Guidance Department maintained a somewhat indifferent attitude. It wasn't that they weren't annoyed, but rather that they disdained to show their annoyance on their face.
What's the point of arguing? All the students in the Soul Guidance Department are holding back their determination to crush those arrogant guys from the Martial Soul Department in the next battle.
To achieve this goal, the Soul Guidance Department students worked even harder in the laboratory and Panlong Classroom, and the entire department fell into a competition to see who was the best at drawing scrolls.
There was no other way. At the original time, it would be quite troublesome for the students of the Soul Guidance Department to engage in combat (they were all super long-range opponents relative to the attack range of Soul Masters, and the academy's battlefield and protection measures were simply inadequate). Therefore, the students of the Soul Guidance Department became researchers, either voluntarily or involuntarily, and thus lacked experience in combat.
Now that we finally have a place to practice freely, let's get started! Who knows if the Soul Guidance Department will still be able to gather together as soon as they log in for the next battle, and have several hours to prepare and perfect their defensive positions?
Therefore, Soul Guidance students must improve and strengthen their experience in dealing with unexpected encounters. Long You previously demonstrated a technique for switching between real and illusory forms in his Soul Guidance Power Armor during a test of his Battle Armor. If this technique can be mastered, most Soul Guidance students will be able to significantly increase their counterattack initiation time when facing sudden encounters.
Unfortunately, most Soul Guidance students are currently unable to store an entire set of Soul Guidance Power Armor into their five storage rings after it has been rendered ethereal. As for Battle Armor, that's even more out of the question; they haven't even mastered Soul Forging, so what are they talking about with Battle Armor?
Unable to upgrade their soul tool technology in a short period of time, these ordinary students in the soul tool system could only practice their physical skills repeatedly after updating their equipment on the Panlong Realm line, trying to shorten the dressing time with their hand speed.
