Lan Xiao asked more about his son’s first day at school, trying to suss out everything that happened. When Lan Xuanyu confirmed that everything was normal, he heaved a sigh of relief. His son had started school and wasn’t any different from the other children.

He had been hoping that his son doesn’t stand out from his classmates as it would only attract more attention. His family’s peace and happiness were more important to him.

“Son, you must study hard, okay? If you excel in the final exam, Daddy and Mommy will bring you to Heaven Luo Planet to play. We’ll let you experience the fun in interplanetary traveling,” Lan Xiao told him with a smile.

“Hooray, hooray!” Lan Xuanyu exclaimed in excitement. He wasn’t only interested in Spirit Guidance flying card but also planes and interplanetary warships – things that he’d seen on television.

The next day, Lan Xuanyu began his normal classes.

The classes in the afternoon were all held by the form teacher of class two. Her lesson was called ‘The basic knowledge of Spirit Masters’.

According to the curriculum for first graders, the two most important subjects were the basic knowledge of Spirit Masters and the basic knowledge of Spirit Beasts. The form teacher of class two was called Qiu Yuxin – she was lovely and seemed quite warm and approachable.

“Students, since all of you already got to know each other yesterday, today, I will be talking about Spirit Masters.

“Being here means that all of you possess at least a Spirit Scholar with a Spirit Power. With the constant advancement of Spirit Guidance technology, there are many high tech gadgets and weapons that could be used by ordinary humans. So why do we still need to become strong Spirit Masters through cultivation?

“That is because the direction of scientific research is to allow ordinary humans to possess the abilities and the fighting power of Spirit Masters. However, tracing back to the source, Spirit Masters can still perform better than ordinary humans. For example, our Spirit Mecha has already reached a very high standard. With the invention of balancing apparatus and stability helm, ordinary people can suffer a heavier blow and thereby pilot the mecha better.

“However, if a Spirit Master is a mecha user, his endurance would bring out more power from the mecha. The Spirit Mecha would not be able to change this fact even after 10,000 years of advancement. Therefore, we Spirit Masters are still undoubtedly the most outstanding human beings.

“Since all of you here wish to be a Spirit Master, you must work hard to become a strong one. Things may be peaceful for now, but due to our constant research about interplanetary relations, we are exposed to all sorts of dangers. We must work hard to become stronger so that we can protect the Federation, our families, and ourselves.”

She knew that these six-year-olds didn’t really understand these major principles, but as their teacher, she still had to guide them.

“Today, I’ll talk about the simplest topic – our Spirit Master ranking.”

“10,000 years ago, our Spirit Masters were divided into ten ranks and every ten levels was a rank. For example, level 0 to 10 is known as Spirit Scholar. You will only be able to reach a Spirit Master rank once you have obtained a Spirit Ring. Luckily, we have a rank 10 student here and he can demonstrate his skills for everyone. Pay attention because he will be the next goal for all of you. Student Lan Xuanyu, please stand up.”

Lan Xuanyu stood up obediently.

Qiu Yuxin smiled at him and said, “Go on and release your spirit.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded. “En.”

He raised his left hand and spots of blue halo formed on his palm as a cluster of Blue Silver Grass, circled with a white halo, appeared.

The faint silver halo on the Blue Silver Grass didn’t appear to be anything special. It wasn’t until they noticed the beads of dew on the surface of the grass did they notice that the fragrance of the grass has immediately become more noticeable.

Qiu Yuxin said, “Everyone saw it, right? Student Lan Xuanyu’s spirit is the Blue Silver Grass. It is an ordinary type of spirit, but the fact that he could cultivate to this level at the age of seven meant that the Blue Silver Grass had a certain degree of mutation. Noticed the silver patter on the grass and those beads of water? Both of those could’ve been caused by mutation. Additionally, that white halo around the grass is known as the Spirit Ring – it is very important to Spirit Masters.

“Even though the white Spirit Ring is only a ten-year Spirit Ring, the Federation has already come up with ways to increase its rank. Of course, it would be more expensive, but as long as student Lan Xuanyu can cultivate to a higher level, he has a chance to upgrade his Spirit Ring Alright, Lan Xauanyu, you can call your spirit back.”

“En.” Lan Xuanyu recalled his Blue Silver Grass away and sat back down.

“Spirit Rings represent the gap between Spirit Masters,” Qiu Yuxin continued. “After surpassing the first few ranks, and after becoming a Spirit Scholar and Spirit Master, one could become a Grand Spirit Master after advancing another ten ranks. Next comes Spirit Elder, Spirit Ancestor, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Sage, Spirit Douluo, and Title Douluo. Ranks 90-100 are known as Title Douluo but there are some distinctions between them. For instance, one who is rank 95 and above is known as Super Douluo and one who is rank 99 is known as Extreme Douluo.

“Those distinction exists because up until the epochal battle of the Douluo plane, rank 99 was the limit for Spirit Masters. The Federation, under the leadership of a generation of great power, Douluo Dragon Emperor Tang Wulin, defeated the Abyss plane that wanted to devour us. He brought the Abyss into the mother planet, thus evolving the ancient tree of life of the mother planet into an eternal tree, allowing the entire mother planet to evolve with it. That epic battle affected the present because, without the fruits of that war, the Federation wouldn’t even have been able to have the resources for interstellar immigrants.

“After devouring the Abyss, the mother planet advanced to the next level to the extent that even its energy level rose with it. All of you will learn more about the god ranks when you are in the advanced Spirit Masters academy so I will not repeat it here today. What you need to remember are the titles of the ten ranks that I mentioned earlier.”

Despite hearing some of this information from his father before, Lan Xuanyu still stayed focused and well-behaved as he listened very intently to the teacher.

After getting to know his classmates yesterday, he found out that he was the only first grader in class two that was over rank 10, which meant that he had the strongest spirit power.

They had theory lessons in the morning and combat lessons in the afternoon. For a first-grader, these so-called actual combat lessons were actually physical exercises.

Class two’s combat lessons were held together with class one, which meant that Lan Xuanyu would be seeing Ye Lingtong again.
