Chapter 25: Disappointment
Among all the teachers Mu Zilei has ever met, Professor Shi Xueqi, who teaches "Spiritual Power Exploration", is definitely a strange person, she wears a flower-bud-like high bun hairstyle, and the flower bud is bigger than her head. Mu Zilei thought, there is probably no teacher stronger than her. In her first class, as soon as everyone sat down, she released a huge amount of spiritual power, and the powerful spiritual pressure pressed Mu Zilei directly on the table and couldn't straighten up, and the whole school immediately fell silent.
"Let's make it clear that in my class, it is absolutely forbidden for my thoughts to desert from all over the world, and it is absolutely not allowed to stir up harmony, otherwise it will roll as far as it goes, which is called good words ahead. β
Shocked by the words of oppression and warning that everyone had given her, she began to teach her lesson with satisfaction:
"Lingshi, also known as Lingshi, one of the six main businesses of Atlas, from low to high realms are divided into: one to four spiritual power of the half-spirit, five to ten spiritual power of the quasi-spirit, up is the spirit, the spirit master, the spirit king, the spirit sect, the spirit monarch, the spirit honor, the spirit saint, the spirit emperor and the god-like god realm, in addition to the half-spirit can not transfer the spiritual power, from the quasi-spirit to the spirit emperor, the spiritual light color corresponds to: light white, white, yellow, red, orange, blue, green, purple and brown. β
"Professor, what color is that god's aura?" asked an attentive student who raised his hand.
"That's a good question, in fact, our only god with historical records only appeared in the great battle to defend the Atlas continent five thousand years ago, the 'Battle of the Top Spirits', and we haven't had a second god powerhouse since then. There is no document in history that specifically describes the aura of the gods. Some people say it's gold, some say it's black, and some people say it's colorful or even nine-colored colors, and the great historian Dr. Sima Qian speculates that it may be black because black is the exclusive color of powerful soul power, and other colors other than the eight spiritual lights of the spirit person to the spirit emperor are more likely, but maybe because the gods have always converged the aura, so the survivors who were fortunate enough to witness the war at that time did not know what the auralight of the gods was. β
The professor's wise eyes swept over the class, and she continued:
"Not only is the color of the spirit unsophisticated, but the identity of this deity is also quite mysterious, no one knows where he was born, no one knows his name, and even the records of his appearance are vague, so historians call him 'nameless.' At the time of the invasion of evil spirits and the survival of the continent, he was born like a savior, and mysteriously disappeared after the end of the Great War, and most historians believe that he died with the evil spirits in the Great War. Since then, history has become a legend, legends have become myths, the Atlas people in order to commemorate this nameless savior, every year to hold the festival of the gods, in many places including soul schools, sects, etc., have erected his monuments, we came in the east gate of the school to see the blurred stone statue is him. Even among the common people, many people worshipped him, and this is where the words "God blesses," "God is above," or "I swear in the name of the God" come from. β
The professor paused for a moment, as if to rediscover her train of thought, and then added:
"Speaking of the colors of the Spiritual Light, the standard fighting suit of the Spirit Fighter is made from these colors. For example, on the Spirit Fighting Stage, both sides are strong in the Spirit King realm, and they wear the corresponding red spirit costumes, which is a sign of respect for the opponent. Of course, you will also learn a spiritual skill called 'Soul Gathering Technique', which allows you to use your spiritual power without any light on the outside, which can confuse your opponent and make it impossible for them to judge their exact strength. Every time the spiritual power realm goes up to a realm, the difficulty of breaking through increases geometrically, if there is no panacea to assist, the advancement will become more and more difficult, if the opportunity is not enough, staying in a low realm for a lifetime also abounds. β
The professor turned his head, and for a moment, Mu Zilei felt that her bud was too heavy, which would make her head cut directly to the ground, but of course the expected thing did not happen, and her serious voice continued to sound:
"As we all know, almost all of us born on the Atlas continent are born with five-stage spiritual power, which is a standard quasi-spirit, and a few people can reach more than six stages or even the realm of spirits when they are born because of their bloodline inheritance, but there are also opposites, there are very few people who are born with spiritual power that cannot reach the fifth stage, and below the fifth stage, these are commonly known as 'half-spirits', and in some places some people even contemptuously call them 'half-humans'. Among the half-spirit people who have appeared in history, it is extremely rare to be able to break through to become a spirit, and if you are lucky enough to break through, it can be described as a miracle within a miracle. β
Hearing this, many people in the class set their eyes on Mu Zilei, and Shi Chisha even showed a gloating silent smile, which made Mu Zilei sit on pins and needles, and the ghost tiger on the side patted him on the shoulder, but this did not make him feel better.
Thinking of the spiritual root of the tree of life that Master Sima Bangu said, he mustered up the courage to ask:
"Professor, legend has it that the spiritual root of the Tree of Life is still in the world, if you find and eat it, can you change your semi-spirit physique?"
His question attracted the attention of the whole class, and even Dumb Lin showed a rare interest.
"Spiritual Root, I believe this is what Teacher Sima Bangu told you, what is the origin of the Tree of Life?" Shi Xueqi frowned, "In fact, the so-called origin of the Tree of Life is just nonsense, mainstream historians never admit this statement, the so-called spiritual root is just a fictitious thing, it cannot exist." β
But Master Sima said that Linggen was recorded in some ancient books. Mu Zilei still didn't give up, and said with a glimmer of hope.
"Son, I might disappoint you when I say that. The so-called Longhai Document, the only one that records the Tree of Life, and the Book of Mountains and Rivers, have been studied by authoritative ancient linguists and historians, and have proved that they were just something out of nothing. From my personal point of view, I am more inclined to the speculation of the great historian Dr. Sima Qian, the reason why we are born with five stages of spiritual power is because our ancestors inadvertently encountered a spirit of ten thousand years of wood spirit tree during the famine, and dug up its 'spiritual root' to eat, since then, these spiritual powers have been passed down from generation to generation by blood, and this innate spiritual power of more than five stages has become what we call the 'spiritual root' in many books. β
Hearing this, Mu Zilei's heart sank.
"Speaking of the inheritance of the five stages of spiritual power," Shi Xueqi paused and said, "Unfortunately, the half-spirit physique is the same as the well-known corpse spirit, and it also has the characteristics of bloodline inheritance. β
The semi-spiritual constitution can also be inherited? No wonder his mother is also a person with no spiritual power. After that, weren't his children and grandchildren all half-spirits like himself? As soon as he thought of this, his mood fell straight into the abyss......
The rune class that followed didn't make him feel better at all. When Ghost Tiger rushed to the classroom together in order to accompany Mu Zilei, they found that Professor Gao Yan, who taught "The Power of Runes", was already sitting on a wooden chair, with long glowing white hair scattered behind her, she was preparing to go to class, the classroom was very quiet, so quiet that she could hear a needle.
"Good afternoon!" Mu Zilei and Ghost Tiger stood at the door of the classroom, waiting for the teacher to allow them in, while the whole class looked at them.
"Tsk," said Professor Gao Yan, "it doesn't work, does it? I want you to repeat it and realize what you're missing." β
"Good afternoon, Mr. Gao. Mu Zilei said again.
"You can come in" Gao Yan pointed to the ghost tiger, who hesitated for a moment and walked into the classroom alone.
"Do you know why you can't come in?" Gao Yan looked at Mu Zilei sternly.
"I don't know. Mu Zilei said a little overwhelmed.
"Then let me tell you, not only did you let another classmate accompany you to be late, but you also delayed the whole class's studies. β
"Teacher, Mu Zilei's legs are inconvenient......," Ghost Tiger, who had just sat down, said angrily.
"That classmate, I didn't allow you to speak," Gao Yan's gaze didn't take his eyes off Mu Zilei, "I don't care what your condition is, but these are not reasons to be late! If you are late again in the future, you will keep standing and listening to the class, come in now! You have delayed enough time." β
Gao Yan watched Mu Zilei walk into the classroom and sit down solemnly.
"You have come here to learn the fascinating mysteries of the characters," Gao Yan said, her voice was calm, but it was particularly impressive to her ears - like Professor Shi Xueqi, she had a mysterious power that could easily keep students quiet, "After the 'Top Spirit War' five thousand years ago, countless light patterns containing soul power were scattered across the continent, and these rune-like light patterns melted into stones, trees, and even spirit beasts. Some of them are like a wind, some are like flames, some are like flowing water, some are like earth, and some are like a mixture of wind, fire, water, and earth. Once these strange runes are arranged in the correct order, the power generated by them is not insignificant. With these powerful runes, whether it is a wise doctor, a historian, a bard, or even a linguist, he can become a powerful runemaster and indulge in the power of the runes. A virtuous doctor can perform healing methods, a historian can form a spatial array, a bard can sing a song of energy, a linguist can invoke the power of sound wavesβthe runemaster is the first of the four side hustles on the continent of Atlas......"
Hearing this, Mu Zilei's heart was like a tight elastic band being flicked, and remembering the word "fu" in the letter, he decided to ask the professor immediately after class.
An hour later, Mu Zilei walked out of the classroom disappointed, and from Gao Yan, he learned that "fu" had appeared in some ancient plants or ancient descriptions of mysterious spiritual artifacts that had long been lost, and that its appearance alone did not represent a specific meaning.
