Chapter 175: 175: Spirit Beast Form!
"Teacher Li, why should we choose to become a vile human race?! We are proud to be a part of the fox race! Why should we take the inferior human form when we reach Spirit Beast?! This is not making any sense!" One of the male black-robed students from the Elite Class shouted loudly in disagreement.
The education department never lacked the hot-blooded youth, especially the young students from the Elite Class that have very prideful and rebellious.
Most of the students from the Elite Class were no afraid of Instructor or Teacher from the education department.
If Executor Class students and the Inspector Class students were the eternal rivals, then the eternal rival of all the Elite Class students was all the Instructors or Teachers in the education department since the students from the Elite Class did not like being ordered around by anyone, including any Instructors or Teachers.
After the black-robed student shouted his disagreement proudly, the other students in the class started to become noisy and protested too.
"That's right! We are the proud fox race! Why do we need to take the ugly human form in the end? I also disagree with what you said, Teacher Li!"
"I already very suspicious about why this education department always emphasizes us to take human form in this building, I smell a conspiracy here! Maybe all the education department's higher-ups are actually human in disguise?"
"I have enough of this human sh*t! I am a fox and I am proud of that! Why do I need to take the sh*tty furless ugly human form?!"
"Teacher Li, are you a human's admirer or a human's slave?! Why do you suggest us to choose to abandon our beast form only to take the inferior human form?! Oh... Maybe you are afraid that we will surpass you someday so you are trying to mislead us, right?!"
The students in the class became even rowdier in dissatisfaction, and they were on the verge of making a riot.
"Calm down everyone! I will explain everything shortly, so you will definitely understand why." Teacher Li said with a calm tone while waved his right hand.
The faint white threads came out from his right hand and spread through the entire classroom. All the students in the class did not know what these faint white threads for, so they raised their guard to the maximum and tried to block it with their hands.
Unfortunately, the faint white thread passed through their hands like Tang Li Xue's [Ethereal Form] and entered their chest. Each of the faint white thread entered into one student's chest.
Even Tang Li Xue also could not block this faint white thread and could only watch as the faint white thread entered her chest like everyone else.
The moment the faint white thread entered her chest, she felt extremely comfortable, and her mind became crystal clear. All the agitation, anger, and dissatisfaction in everyone's heart were completely erased, replaced by serenity and peacefulness.
'What the hell! This white string can calm down everyone just like that?! Doesn't it mean this teacher could control everyone's feelings with his divine ability like the tip of his finger? Ck, Ck, Ck... There is really no normal instructor in this education building! Each one of them is more monstrous than the last!' Tang Li Xue stared at Teacher Li in astonishment.
"There is a plausible reason why I said so. Today I will slowly explain the perks of both choices so you all can think about it carefully and make the most correct choice for yourself after you reach that point." Teacher Li appeased all the students with his words.
"The first choice is to stay in your beast form. There is nothing special in this choice since you will advance to the next rank as usual after you gain the spirit baptism, you will get a new divine ability, and get stronger." Teacher Li lazily explained, but Tang Li Xue could detect the hint of disdain in his words.
"But I must warn you all, once you choose this choice, the highest rank you will reach is only the Beast God rank. Of course, this choice is not necessarily bad since the risk is very much lower than the second choice. Most of the foxes in Myriad Foxes Academy choose this option anyway." Teacher Li briefly warned.
Actually, Teacher Li did not even dare to mention the chance of evolving into Beast God rank when they choose this first option was so infinitesimal next to impossible since it would provoke the ire from the other instructor that choose this first option if they heard it from their students later.
Of course, the story would be different if they could get a hold on the most precious treasure like Tang Li Xue's [Awakening Stone]!
"Teacher Li, Is there really rank higher than the Beast God rank?! I heard it is just a myth!" One of the blue-robed students raised her hand and asked.
"The rank higher than the Beast God rank is truly exist! But I will not discuss it with you all since it is outside the topic of our current lesson for today." Teacher Li answered the student's question.
'Oh? Beast God? So that's what they called the [Ancient] grade beast in Immortal World! And the Beast Races in Immortal World even already realize that there are several ranks above [Ancient] grade... I mean above Beast God rank.'
'I wonder, is there any beast in Immortal managed to evolve into that rank? According to the [Immortal World's Newbie Guide], there are another six grade above the [Ancient] grade in Divine World.'
Tang Li Xue tapped her chin with her slender finger while thinking deeply.
"The second choice is to gain the human form. This option is really interesting! I am also the same as all of you at first and think why we the proud beast race must change into a human, but this way of thinking is wrong! Very wrong!" Teacher Li's tone turned solemn and even made all the students in the classroom became tenser.
"Now I will explain the process of how the one chooses this second option evolves into spirit beast and you will understand the reason why I said so."Teacher Li explained carefully step by step and all the students in the classroom listened to him carefully this time.
Every student here including Tang Li Xue already knew that they will momentarily lose all of their skills, divine abilities, and strength as the beast if they chose the second option.
They will be no different than any normal human, they will have a Dantian, and they could cultivate like the other humans, but their potential would be far a lot higher than even the most monstrous human.
But after they reach a certain stage of cultivation, their dormant power as the beast will be completely awakened, not only they will get their skills, divine abilities, and strength back as a beast, they will also successfully advanced to Spirit Beast rank.
However, was that really all they got after taking such a high risk of being hunted by humans and beasts in their weakest state when all of their power got sealed?
The answer was NO!
They will get far more than just that!
All the students in the class, including Tang Li Xue, held their breaths eagerly waiting for Teacher Li's next explanation.
Teacher Li looked at all the students' eager expression and nodded in satisfaction.
"You all should already know that you will have a martial soul once you choose to gain your human form, right?" Teacher Li asked all the students, and they all nodded their heads like a group of woodpeckers.
"You all should already know too that all the elemental spirits are nature's darling, and they are the strongest race in Immortal World, right?" Teacher Li asked once again, and all the students nodded their heads simultaneously again.
It was not exaggerating at all to say that all elemental spirits were the strongest race in Immortal World.
Even Mo Chonglin with his high cultivation was facing a lot of trouble to capture the Flame of Pride before, and it was still in the weakest embryo form!
In fact, the current Tang Li Xue's strength as [Uncommon] grade demonic beast was still too low and could not exhibit the current Fetal form of Flame of Pride's true power.
She even dragged down the power level of the deep Blue Phoenix of Pride in her Dantian to her current level and made it take a long sleep to recharge its power after it evolves.
Usually, after assimilating, the host would act as the fuel tank for the spirit-type elemental spirit like Blue Phoenix of Pride, while the spirit-type elemental spirit would act as the weapon to obliterate all the enemies.
However, the current Tang Li Xue could not provide enough fuel for Blue Phoenix of Pride, so it was forced to sleep for a long time to slowly recharge its power.
But Tang Li Xue could not be blamed about this since the true reason for the Blue Phoenix of Pride could evolve so fast was because it was slowly absorbing the dark gold flame from the [Sun Dragon King's Pearl] to speed up the process of it to reach maturity.
The Blue Phoenix of Pride even deceived Tang Li Xue beforehand so she would receive the [Sun Dragon King's Pearl] to be planted in her Dantian!
A mature elemental spirit like Yaya's mother could probably slaughter any human, beast, or undead of higher rank than her easily!
In short, the elemental spirit races were nature's darling, so it did not face any restriction like other races and could defeat the creatures from the human race, beast race, or undead race in the same rank as it easily.
Fortunately, the elemental spirits were very rare. The spirit-type elemental spirits could only be breed by nature itself, and the elf-type elemental spirits' fertility was also very low. If not for these two factors, this Immortal World might have been already conquered by the elemental spirit races since long ago.
'Tsk... And that fake dragon said something like Yaya's mother is only as strong as mid-rank spirit beast?! What a liar!' Tang Li Xue snorted in disdain when she remembered the fake dragon's words before.
But Teacher Li's next words completely shattered their common sense!
"What if I said you could get the same blessing as the elemental spirit from nature if you sacrificed your martial soul to nature when you evolved into spirit beast in the future?" Teacher Li chuckled as he said something that shocked all the students in the class.
All the students including Tang Li Xue were stunned silly by Teacher Li's words.
"We called it, Spirit Beast Form! Only the beasts that choose the second choice when they evolve into Spirit beast will get this form. Actually, the name of the Spirit Beast rank also came from this form. The beasts who choose the first choice should not have any right to be called Spirit Beast, because they did not even have this Spirit Beast Form!" Teacher Li laughed as if he was mocking the one who already chose the first option.
"Of course, this Spirit Beast Form still has some limitations such as it consumes tons of stamina while we are in this form." Teacher Li explained the weakness of this Spirit Beast Form too.
"We still could not be compared with the elemental spirit race that could fight in their most powerful state all the time since we can only maintain this Spirit Beast Form in a short time, but while we are in this form, we will become strong enough to fight toe to toe with the a.d.u.l.t elemental spirit!" Teacher Li looked at all the shocked students in the class and nodded in satisfaction with their stupefied expression.
'What? Wait a minute... Did you just say something like sacrificing my martial soul?! Dammit! So we must sacrifice our martial soul if we choose to gain the human form later?! Oh no! My cool and magnificent Golden-Winged Serpent will need to be sacrificed in the future?!' Tang Li Xue's mind became messy, and she panicked a bit after she digested all Teacher Li's explanation.
"Okay students, our lesson has ended for today! If you are still not clear about what we are talking about, you all can visit the library and read more about it later." Teacher Li nodded to all the students and left the classroom in hurry.
'Hei, Hei, Hei! What kind of teacher is he? Where the hell is the questions and answers session after the lesson? There are so many things I want to ask! I don't want to lose my [Golden-Winged Serpent] later! Is there anything I can sacrifice to the nature other than my martial soul to get that Spirit Beast Form later?! Like delicious delicacies, gold, or spirit stones?' Tang Li Xue woke up from her daze and wanted to ask Teacher Li but he already vanished from the classroom.
Tang Li Xue stood up from her seat, and she wanted to chase after the Teacher Li to ask him many things.
Unfortunately, several red-robed students already blocked her way, so she could not get out of the classroom to chase Teacher Li anymore.
Tang Li Xue already in a very bad mood after she knew that she must sacrifice her martial soul, [Golden Winged Serpent] later, but now, she became even more irritable after these red-robed students blocked her from chasing after Teacher Li.
"Hei ugly b*tch, you want to run away now! Dream on! But if you give us all your credits and kowtow to us before licking our shoes one by one, we will only beat you to half death today! How about it?" The female red-robed student sneered at Tang Li Xue.
"Hahaha... Kowtow and licking our shoes is still too lenient for that ugly b*tch. At least make her run around this education building while showing her disgusting face under that mask! I wonder if anyone will puke out after they see her disgusting ugly face?!"The male red-robed student sneered and mocked Tang Li Xue.
"Sigh... I hope you all have more than 5,000 credits in your cards." Tang Li Xue sighed, but her topaz blue eyes became much colder than before.
"Why?" The male red-robed student raised his eyebrow and asked while kept sneering.
"So you all will have enough credits to pay for the medical treatment after I break all your bones into tiny pieces later." Tang Li Xue said in a piercing cold tone.
