Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qian Lei’s head was covered in sweat, “This...”

Ji Hongbin merely looked at him.

Qian Lei put on a brave front, “I said this is Teacher Ji and he is a demon...”

The moment he said that, the entire class was shocked but strangely, nobody let out a sound.

Ji Hongbin said, “Sit down.”

Qian Lei was stunned, he didn’t expect that he would get through so easily. He quickly sat down and let out a huge sigh of relief.

Ji Hongbin still looked unperturbed, “I want to say that Qian Lei is right. To all of you, I am a demon.”

“...”

The shadow in every student’s heart in the Elite Junior Class increased.

Ji Hongbin said plainly, “This afternoon’s classes are all mine. I’ll be teaching for the first half and all of you will be taking the assessment for the second half of the lesson. You will be allowed to go for lunch once you pass the test and if you don’t, you will have to retake it till you do.”

“Ah...” Groans immediately spread across the classroom.

Lan Xuanyu then took the chance to ask Qian Lei, “What does Teacher Ji teaches?”

The corners of Qian Lei’s lips twitched, “Teacher Ji teaches the basic knowledge of spirit beasts. Everyone thought that this class was quite useless at first since we would probably encounter spirit beasts only when we are in the simulation pods. We only found out how strict this teacher is after attending his classes; what’s more, it’s been said that Teacher Ji is the strongest man in Heaven Luo academy and nobody dares to provoke him. He is also the vice president. He would always cover many things during his lessons, they are all very complicated and insists that we remember them. There will be a test after every lesson. If you don’t pass, there will be all sorts of punishment.”

Basic knowledge of spirit beasts? He heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the name of this course.

Due to his family background, he was most familiar with spirit beasts. Ever since he was little, he was imperceptibly influenced by his parents who worked at the Ancient Spirit Beast Research Centre; one could say that he was the most familiar with spirit beasts in the whole class.

“Class begin. Today, I will be talking about the ranks of spirit beasts and the characteristics of top spirit beasts.”

Ji Hongbin started the class.

“As we all know, spirit beasts had always been classified according to their years of cultivation. There are 10-year spirit beasts, 100-year spirit beasts, 1000-year spirit beasts, 10,000-year spirit beasts and 100,000-year spirit beasts. But in the history of our spirit masters, there are some special existences. The corresponding colors of the spirit ring of these five types of spirit beasts are white, yellow, purple, black and red. However, there are still a couple of special colors that appeared. I will give some examples later.”

“Firstly, the special spirit ring color that appeared the most often would be the orange-gold spirit ring. Spirit beasts above the 100,000-year rank, especially those that reached the 200,000-year rank and above are called Ferocious Beasts. Hence, an orange-gold color often meant that it’s formidable. A 100,000-year red Spirit Ring would give the Spirit Master two spirit skills while one with an orange-gold Spirit Ring might have more. Of course, this is in the ancient days and right now, the Spirit Soul that we absorb also has various Spirit Skills but at different ranks. And this type of top-notch Spirit Ring would be able to have multiple Spirit Skills with just one Spirit Ring.”

“With the current Spirit Pagoda’s technology, it could almost simulate a 100,000-year Spirit Ring already. But after some research, it was revealed that the orange-gold Spirit Ring could never be simulated because all the Ferocious Beasts must go through various calamities before they could reach that level and the calamities are impossible to imitate.”

“Other than the orange-gold color, there is also another Spirit Ring rarely seen and it isn’t confirmed whether it appeared before. For example, the legendary 1,000,000-year Spirit Ring.”

“The first time the 1,000,000-year Spirit Ring was spoken about in history came from Tang San. It was said that the Sea God Tang San killed a 1,000,000-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale before he became a god and possessed a 1,000,000-year Spirit Ring ever since. There were different opinions about the 1,000,000-year Spirit Ring; some said it was gold, some said it regained its natural state and was white in color, and there were some that said it’s white-gold in color. Others even said that different 1,000,000-year Spirit Rings would have different colors and no conclusion has been made on this.”

“In history, the second time a 1,000,000-year Spirit Ring appeared was from the founder of Spirit Pagoda, Spirit Ice Douluo, Huo Yuhao and was also said to had become a god. According to the legends, before he became a god, he even defeated the King of Ferocious Beasts, Beast God Di Tian. His 1,000,000-year Spirit Ring came from a spirit beast known as Daydream Ice Worm.”

Ji Hongbin spoke very quickly and Lan Xuanyu listened attentively as he had never heard of these special top-notch spirit beasts and spirit rings. These were too distant for him, after all.

“There is also another special Spirit Ring and only appeared once in history. And he was known as the leader of the new age, the envoy of peace between humans and spirit beasts, the representative of interstellar migration and the legend who changed the Mother Planet – Dragon Emperor Douluo, Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin is also the closest to us among all these legendary figures that I’ve spoken about so there is a more detailed account of him. Tang Wulin had many stories and one of them was that he had a Spirit Ring that was green-golden. That’s right, it was green-golden and there is one and only one – it only appeared once in the history of mankind.”

“According to what his friend recalled after that, this green-golden Spirit Ring might be related to life force but the details are Federal secret. In summary, almost all of the special Spirit Ring colors has their own unique characteristics and almost all of them have strong pronouns.

Every student listened very intently, they didn’t dare to be distracted at all! If they didn’t pay attention, how are they going to pass the test?

“Following this, I am going to talk about Ferocious Beasts. The first one I am going to talk about is the Beast God Di Tian, the last Golden Eye Black Dragon. His characteristic is...”

Ji Hongbin began talking about all sorts of special characteristics of Ferocious Beasts and everything he mentioned were Ferocious Beasts that appeared in the history of mankind before. He went into details like what capabilities each Ferocious Beast had, which era they were in and whether they were still alive etc. etc.

He spoke for half an hour before he stopped, “Take a ten minutes break. We will begin the assessment after ten minutes.”

After which, he walked out first.

The moment he was gone, the entire class let out a sigh of relief.

But immediately after that, nobody left the class at all for break time; including Jin Xiang who was provoking Qian Lei previously; everybody sat in their seats, deep in thoughts.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qian Lei and Liu Feng as well.

Lan Xuanyu said, “Will the test be very difficult? Everyone seems quite nervous eh?”

Qian Lei smiled bitterly, “Of course it is! More importantly, the punishment for not passing the test is too scary. You haven’t seen it yet. Why do you think Jin Xiang would be so afraid of Teacher Ji? Once, he wasn’t paying attention during class and didn’t pass the test, he even shamelessly bragged that this class is useless. Then, Teacher Ji grabbed him, opened the window and flung him out.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Flung out? It’s not too bad from our level, right?” They were Spirit Masters after all, so a fall from this height should be fine.

Qian Lei’s mouth twitched, “He didn’t fling him outwards but upwards instead. According to Jin Xiang himself, he was tossed up directly into the sky, at least a few hundred meters up – don’t even know where Teacher Ji gets his strength from. Then, Teacher Ji simply stretched his hand outside the window and caught him, then threw him up and caught him again... this went on for over ten times... anyway, when Jin Xiang returned, he was so terrified that he couldn’t even cry out.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned, “Isn’t this corporal punishment?”

Qian Lei said, “Teacher Ji said that everyone would learn how to fly sooner or later, whether it was through a mecha, battle armor or our own abilities. Hence, it’s beneficial for learning to experience the feeling of weightlessness in the air.”

“This...”

Just at this moment, Ji Hongbin returned.

“The test begins. Who is Lan Xuanyu? You’re new right? You’ll start first.”
