# Chapter 43: Is Bai Yan's First Soul Skill Weak?
The second day of school was also the second class after the start of the semester.
Today was another sunny day.
Bai Yan Teacher was standing on the podium, lecturing.
Meanwhile, Quanyi was engrossed in reading a book he had borrowed from the library during class.
Huo Wu, who noticed this, was inwardly terrified.
Because of yesterday's battle, Huo Wu had gained a deep understanding of Bai Yan Teacher's strength, and therefore, she didn't dare to be distracted in Bai Yan Teacher's class.
However, she didn't expect Quanyi to dare to openly slack off in Bai Yan Teacher's class.
Although Huo Wu admired Quanyi's courage, she was still very worried that Quanyi would be reprimanded by the teacher.
However, halfway through the class, Bai Yan Teacher didn't seem to notice Quanyi's behavior, as if she hadn't seen it at all.
This also relieved Huo Wu.
However, Huo Wu completely misunderstood Quanyi; he wasn't slacking off.
He was training his Dual-Mindedness ability.
Although his eyes were on the book, his ears were focused on listening to Bai Yan Teacher's lecture.
Through yesterday's lesson, Quanyi knew that most of Bai Yan Teacher's lectures were very basic, and he had already mastered most of the content.
In order not to waste this morning, Quanyi planned to study on his own and practice his Dual-Mindedness skills.
This would not only ensure his study time but also allow him to cope with the teacher's sudden questions, achieving multiple goals at once.
"That's all for today's lesson. Class dismissed."
Bai Yan announced the end of the class and then left the classroom.
Before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Quanyi and Huo Wu, signaling them not to forget the afternoon training.
Seeing the teacher leave, Huo Wu immediately walked to Quanyi and said, "Xiao Yi, you're too bold. You even dare to slack off in Bai Yan Teacher's class."
"I didn't slack off; I listened to everything the teacher said," Quanyi said truthfully.
But Huo Wu had an expression of disbelief.
Quanyi didn't explain further: "Let's go. We still have to train at noon. If we finish early, we'll have more rest time in the afternoon."
Huo Wu had no choice but to say, "Let's go."
...
At noon, after lunch, the two arrived at the big tree next to the training ground.
Sitting in the shade of the tree, Quanyi was reading, and Huo Wu was napping.
Because the afternoon was also occupied by cultivation, Quanyi's time for reading was greatly reduced, which was why Quanyi came up with the idea of reading in class.
Although a whole day of cultivation was indeed tiring, Quanyi didn't plan to give up reading. Reading was an important way to understand this world.
...
In the afternoon, Bai Yan Teacher arrived as scheduled.
"First of all, I want to announce something about the future combat training arrangements. Five days a week, at this time, I will arrange a combat training session. Not many, but I hope you can all give it your all in every session."
Bai Yan first told the two her teaching arrangements.
"Yes."
Quanyi and Huo Wu answered at the same time.
Bai Yan nodded and then continued, "Before we start training, I'd like to hear your thoughts on yesterday's battle."
Hearing this, Huo Wu's eyes flickered.
Bai Yan keenly noticed this.
"Huo Wu, you can go first."
"Ah~, okay."
Huo Wu cursed her bad luck in her heart. She kept recalling yesterday's battle in her mind, and with a forced smile, she began to talk about her views.
"First, I realized my weakness, which is the lack of close combat skills. If it weren't for Quanyi, I might not have lasted a single move."
This was indeed the part that Huo Wu felt most deeply.
Bai Yan nodded at Huo Wu in approval, "Yes, very good. It seems you haven't been blinded by victory. However, you don't need to rush. Your development direction is the Control System, and if you develop in this direction, you will definitely have many ways to deal with close combat in the future."
Bai Yan knew that Huo Wu currently only had one Soul Skill, so of course, she would be stretched thin when facing unfamiliar situations.
Then, she turned to Quanyi and asked, "Quanyi, I'd like to hear your thoughts as well."
Regarding these issues, Quanyi not only had deep considerations, but he had also already begun to make up for his shortcomings.
Therefore, facing Bai Yan Teacher's question, Quanyi's expression was calm as he indifferently stated his views.
"Teacher, my strengths and weaknesses are both obvious. My close combat is strong, but I'm not good at long-range attacks. Also, my speed is not as good as the Agility Attack System."
Bai Yan was very satisfied with Quanyi's analysis. He was a student who didn't require her to worry too much.
Bai Yan had seen Quanyi reading "extracurricular books" in the morning. Originally, Bai Yan didn't approve of this behavior, but Bai Yan saw that the books Quanyi was reading contained more profound content.
Therefore, Bai Yan didn't choose to reprimand Quanyi, but instead, chose to turn a blind eye.
"Yes, your summary is very accurate, but I want to remind you that your development direction is the Power Attack System. These shortcomings of yours are actually common to all Power Attack Systems. So, your focus should be on maximizing your strengths, not making up for your weaknesses."
Bai Yan's words made Quanyi a little dazed. Focus on maximizing strengths, then shouldn't he make up for his weaknesses? Bai Yan continued, "Do you remember my First Soul Skill?"
Huo Wu quickly nodded. It was because of this Soul Skill yesterday that she had exhausted all of her Soul Power.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Bai Yan's words made Huo Wu a little confused, but Quanyi on the side seemed thoughtful.
"There is something unusual." Bai Yan Teacher's words reminded Quanyi. After a little thought, Quanyi immediately noticed an anomaly.
A look of surprise flashed in Bai Yan's eyes, and Huo Wu was even more anxious to know the answer.
"Xiao Yi, don't keep us in suspense, tell me quickly."
Amidst the expectations of Bai Yan and Huo Wu, Quanyi spoke his thoughts.
"Teacher, forgive my bluntness. In my opinion, Teacher's First Soul Skill is really too weak."
Quanyi ruthlessly criticized Bai Yan's First Soul Skill, and Huo Wu's eyes widened in shock at Quanyi's statement.
"What are you saying!" Huo Wu shook Quanyi's arm and said anxiously, "Quickly apologize to Teacher."
Quanyi's statement sounded like a provocation to the teacher. Huo Wu shook Quanyi's arm forcefully, and then anxiously explained to the teacher, "Teacher, Quanyi didn't mean it..."
"Hahahaha!"
Bai Yan's sudden laughter made Huo Wu a little confused. Shouldn't she be angry?
"Quanyi, you're very smart. Huo Wu, you don't need to be nervous either. Quanyi is right, my First Soul Skill is indeed very weak."
Huo Wu was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
"Weak? Isn't Teacher's First Soul Skill very difficult to deal with?"
Huo Wu had also faced Bai Yan's attacks head-on, and they were clearly very tricky, but why did these two people say it was weak? Huo Wu's heart was full of doubts.
