A few minutes later, Ouyang Wei, the horoom teacher carrying a textbook, walked into the classroom. His face seed sowhat unwell, surprising so observant students. Although Ouyang Wei was strict, he wasn’t heartless. He naturally paid more attention to students with good grades. A student as excellent as Lin Guang finally becoming a Spirit Master should have brought so joy to Ouyang Wei.
"Turn to page sixty-three in the textbook. Today, we will discuss the One-Star Secret Realm of Zhen Sheng City — the Wilderness Secret Realm. This realm hasn’t been completely cleared, is about the sa size as Zhen Sheng City, and unlike the ’Tourist Secret Realm,’ it contains many wild Spirit Beasts. Nonetheless, in terms of difficulty, it’s the most friendly to Spirit Masters and is also known as a Garden-level Secret Realm, or in the young people’s language, a Baby Secret Realm."
"In the Wilderness Secret Realm, the most nurous species are herbivorous Spirit Beasts, which aren’t very aggressive and almost never initiate attacks, but individual variations must be noted. The main dangers in the Wilderness Secret Realm co from a few aggressive Spirit Beasts standing at the top of the secret realm’s food chain."
"One of them is the Wind-toothed Wolf."
Lin Guang looked down at the illustration in the textbook; it depicted a crouching gray wolf with saber-toothed-like fangs, a wide-open bloody maw, and although not large, it exuded significant intimidation.
"What kind of Spirit Beast is the Wind-toothed Wolf? Deng Yifeng, you answer."
With a scraping sound of a chair against the floor, the chubby boy to Lin Guang’s right stood up sowhat flustered. His body was slightly plump, and the flesh on his cheeks forced his eyes into squints.
"Um... the Wind-toothed Wolf, its Spirit Beast Potential is gray and inferior, it might gather in packs or live alone, with an average level in the Wilderness Secret Realm at..."
As he spoke, the chubby boy wiped nonexistent sweat from his forehead, stealing a glance at Lin Guang beside him. Seeing Lin Guang make two hand gestures, he confidently said, "Level three to six!"
"Consider you passed."
The interaction didn’t escape Ouyang Wei’s eagle eyes. He just wanted to prod students who weren’t listening carefully, nothing too serious.
"So, what makes the Wind-toothed Wolf known as the ’must-see Spirit Beast for Zhen Sheng City freshn,’ and how should novice Spirit Masters deal with encountering Wind-toothed Wolves in the Wilderness Secret Realm?"
His eyes naturally skipped over Lin Guang, as this level of knowledge would never stump him.
"Lv Rui."
A long-haired girl stood up.
"The Wind-toothed Wolf’s trait [Intimidation] can make most lower-tier Spirit Beasts lose so fighting spirit, manifesting as an overall decline in combat capability. This trait also affects Spirit Masters. anwhile, its internal Ether can form Wind Skills [Wind Blade] capable of cutting a twenty-centiter diater tree trunk. If one can’t overco such a hurdle, it’s better to abandon thoughts of becoming a Combat Spirit Master early on. As for counterasures..."
Lv Rui gently raised her right hand, revealing a green mark on the back, which shimred with azure light as a small reddish-white bird, less than ten centiters, appeared in her palm.
"It’s actually a Fire Spirit Bird," Lin Guang murmured subconsciously, but Spirit Masters had sharp hearing, and almost everyone heard him.
Lv Rui glanced at Lin Guang with surprise.
The Fire Spirit Bird, one of Yun Province’s three major Spirit Beasts, nearly separated from Zhen Sheng City by the vast expanse of Great Xia, is considered rare and seldom seen locally. Even more so when it’s a juvenile. Since contracting it last week, this was her first encounter with soone who recognized it at first glance.
"Ah, despite having the [Intimidation] trait, the majority of Wind-toothed Wolves are timid by nature, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. In solo combat, if you can counter the Wind Blade and injure it, the Wind-toothed Wolf will recoil in fear."
"The best strategy is agile or defensive Spirit Beasts. Even under intimidation, as long as energy levels aren’t disadvantaged, they wouldn’t be too passive, making them hard for the Wind-toothed Wolf to deal with. Engaging head-on with Spirit Beasts that aren’t heavily armored isn’t advised."
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
The little bird lifted its head proudly, seemingly enjoying the attention of everyone.
"As for pack behavior... it’s best not to provoke them."
Most students in the classroom cast envious glances at Lv Rui, secretly admiring her for having a real estate tycoon dad.
Ouyang Wei nodded slightly, gesturing for Lv Rui to sit down, then called on another student to answer the sa question. This student’s Spirit Beast was the thick-skinned Stone Armor Elephant, a green excellent-grade Spirit Beast capable of withstanding the Wind-toothed Wolf’s [Wind Blade].
Two classes passed quickly. Lin Guang returned a black market pass to Ouyang Wei, but for so reason, before leaving the classroom, Ouyang Wei shot Lin Guang a brief, concerned look, which puzzled Lin Guang.
The next lesson was on ditation; everyone left the teaching building, boarded the school bus, bypassed the expansive sports field, and went to the number one ditation Room in the school-constructed ditation Building.
The ditation Room wasn’t large, about two or three hundred square ters, shaped like a hemisphere, akin to an overturned bowl. Its interior was dimly lit and deeply lined with intricate patterns like sprawling branches and leaves, filling the whole room.
This is a deliberately engraved Spirit Rune Array for gathering the spiritual attribute Ether and tuning Spiritual Power Fluctuations, assisting students in reaching a ditation state more effectively and efficiently. Each activation consus substantial resources, representing a national and educational benefit.
Everyone settled on their cushions, sitting quietly as vine-like patterns on the walls began to glow, followed by a gentle golden brilliance enveloping the entire room.
Everyone felt their minds clearing away the cobwebs, gaining a boost of energy that wasn’t frenzied but rather a state of calm and clarity.
Thus, most people closed their eyes and began ditating according to their Contract Techniques.
Lin Guang’s Equal Contract Technique had achieved mastery but was still far from reaching the pinnacle, maintaining diligent focus during ditation.
An hour swiftly passed as a soothing bell sounded, and the golden leaves gradually dimd to darkness, indicating that the spiritual materials in the ditation Room had been exhausted and the class had ended.
Lin Guang reluctantly opened his eyes, full of spirit. Glancing around, he noticed his classmates, already awake, looking weary, prompting him to shake his head silently.
This is the advantage of choosing the Equal Contract.
