Education Policy (2)

Yali was only scared. She knew Anping had no intention of using his technology for harm, or he would have done something by now.

It had been almost half a year since Anping and Gu Yuena came back from the Xingluo Empire. Even if Anping's breakthrough took three months, he still had more than enough time to act. But he didn't.

Anping didn't answer Yali's question directly. He smiled and said: "Holy Spirit Douluo, you can think of this as a new soul guidance technology. I plan to share it with the City of Miracles in the future."

Yun Ming and Yali were taken aback by Anping's words. They never expected him to have such an idea. They knew that any major force on Douluo Planet would keep such technology to themselves.

They were familiar with Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, which only sold weapons but not the methods to make them. The self-created soul skills of Shrek Academy's masters were never passed on to anyone but their chosen disciples.

The same was true for Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure and other cultivation techniques. Their disciples had to swear not to teach them to others.

Yun Ming and Yali were used to this situation, so they were surprised by Anping's generosity. Leng Yaozhu also looked puzzled. The Spirit Pagoda's command-passing technology was also tightly controlled by the pagoda.

Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan, however, were not impressed. They had been with Anping and Gu Yuena for a long time and understood Anping's vision.

Anping saw their reactions and shook his head slightly. "This is no different from soul guidance technology. I can't develop it alone, and neither can the City of Miracles."

He waved his hand and said: "But let's not talk about this now. This is for the future. I'll show you around the City of Miracles."

They didn't object to Anping's suggestion. They put away the things on the table, and Anping cleared the tables and chairs with a gesture. Then he teleported them to the street.

The City of Miracles was still empty, so it was very quiet. The only sound was their footsteps on the pavement.

They looked around with curiosity as they walked. The city looked different from the ground. The architecture was unlike anything they had seen in the Federation.

Xu Xiaoyan pointed at a building that floated in the air and asked: "Brother Anping, how do we get up there?"

Anping explained: "You can't yet, but I have two ideas. One is to use a teleportation array, and the other is to use floating technology."

He added: "And that's not all. I also plan to change the transportation method in the City of Miracles. But that's a secret for now. You'll see when the time comes."

They were all intrigued by what Anping meant. They wondered what kind of transportation he had in mind.

They thought transportation was limited to cars, buses, rail cars, and the recent floating cars. They had no clue what other methods Anping had in mind.

Le Zhengyu asked, puzzled: "Never mind this other method. Does that mean there won't be any cars or anything like that in the City of Miracles?"

Anping shook his head slightly. "Of course not. I've said before that things in this world are not black and white, so I won't ban any mode of transportation."

Le Zhengyu didn't press further. He was just curious, not nosy.

They spent the afternoon visiting the key places in the City of Miracles. By the end of the tour, they were convinced that the name was fitting.

The city itself was a miracle to them, with its floating and shifting buildings that defied the laws of physics on Douluo Star.

They had discussed what they needed to and seen what they wanted to. Leng Yaozhu and Le Zhengen had accomplished their mission and didn't stay longer. They had to go back and prepare for the move.

Yun Ming and Yali, however, decided to stay. Anping had no reason to turn them away, since they had joined his side and signed a contract.

They chose a place to live not far from the residence Anping had reserved for them. He didn't mind.

But he was surprised when Yali came to his house after dinner, alone, and asked to talk to him.

He looked at her sitting across from him and took out the tea set. "What did Holy Spirit Douluo want to talk about when she came to my house so late?"

Yali didn't get to the point right away. She watched the teapot bounce on the table and said, "I really don't know what you're thinking. Why waste your time on these messy things instead of practicing hard?"

Anping shook his head slightly. "Holy Spirit Douluo is wrong. Everyone has their own ideas, so why force yours on others? Besides, I'm quite happy with my cultivation speed."

Yali shook her head slightly and dropped the subject. She said: "Never mind that. I came here mainly to understand the education issues in the City of Miracles in the future. After all, I'll be in charge of that from now on."

Anping nodded. "Of course, there's no problem with that. I've written about the general things in my previous books. What does Holy Spirit Douluo think is a problem?"

He was interested in continuing the conversation, since it was about the future of the City of Miracles. He also wanted to see what kind of questions Yali, who came from Shrek Academy, would ask.

But he didn't expect her to ask: "I'm from Shrek Academy. Let's start from there. I heard from Brother Yun that you don't like the education methods of Shrek Academy very much. Can you tell me why?"

Anping was taken aback. He didn't expect this question to come up again, but he wasn't annoyed. He said patiently: "Let me give you an example. I don't know many people from Shrek Academy, except for you and Atlas Douluo. There are Wu Zhangkong, Shen Yi, Cai Yue'er, and Tang Wulin."

"They all gave me the same impression: they were competitive, arrogant, and conceited. If it was just a few of them, I could chalk it up to personal issues. But Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan told me that everyone they met at Shrek Academy was like that."

Yali frowned slightly and said: "I admit I'm competitive. Shrek Academy does foster a spirit of rivalry among soul masters. But I don't think everyone at Shrek Academy is arrogant. I admit I'm proud, but not to the point of arrogance."
