Chapitre 2: Start of Academy
Anping breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, the book could indeed be opened, and the runes on the cover were indeed a type of writing.
After reading through it all evening, he probably figured out a few things. It's just that the content is a bit bizarre, and it can only be said that it has nothing to do with the spirit master.
It documents essential knowledge for the wizardry profession, encompassing titles like "One Hundred Questions for a Wizard's Apprentice," "Taking You into the World of Wizards," "The Relationship between Meditation, Mental Power, and Magic Power," "Miscellaneous Notes of So-and-so," and "So-and-so Plane Travels." Additionally, it details a meditation technique known as "Energy Diversion," offering a comprehensive resource for aspiring wizards.
Closing the ancient tome and absorbing its wisdom into his being, Anping gained a rudimentary understanding of the essence of a wizard. In essence, a wizard is likely a relentless seeker of knowledge, holding truth as their ultimate pursuit and guiding principle.
As Anping prepared to enroll at Red Mountain Academy the following day, he swiftly consumed a modest dinner and reclined in bed, preparing for a night's rest. Despite his anticipation of the wizardry awaiting him, a sense of unease lingered. However, in a rational decision, he refrained from immediately delving into the meditative techniques he longed to master. Gradually succumbing to a complex mix of emotions, he drifted into slumber.
Early the next morning, Anping got up, washed up, and hurried out after breakfast.
Upon reaching the gates of Red Mountain College, Anping found the spirit master class teacher, Lin Ximeng, already stationed at a prepared table, ready to receive arriving students.
Clad in the college uniform, she appeared youthful, seemingly under the age of thirty. Lin Ximeng, the current class teacher, greeted the students as they approached.
"Hello, teacher, here is my certificate." Anping approached, extending the certificate bestowed upon him by the spiritual master the previous day.
"Why didn't your family bid you farewell?" Lin Ximeng inquired with a gentle tone as she examined the certificate.
"I have no family left."
"Apologies for bringing up any sadness," Lin Ximeng expressed regret while maintaining her gaze on Anping and the certificate.
"No worries, being alone is alright," Anping responded casually, waving his hand dismissively.
Unbeknownst to Anping, his demeanor unwittingly transformed Lin Ximeng into a playful companion, prompting her to engage in lighthearted banter.
Gradually, others trickled in, and the spirit master class comprised a modest group of only sixteen individuals.
Lin Ximeng first took everyone to their class, explained that she needed to submit the materials to the academy for filing, and left in a hurry.
Anping stood at the end, watching a group of chattering children discussing about their respective martial spirits.
The liveliest participant proved to be a stout gentleman wielding a short sword as his martial spirit. He incessantly queried his peers about their martial spirits, eagerly sharing anecdotes about his own soul prowess.
"Hey, what's your martial spirit?" he inquired.
"It's the ancestral blue silver grass from the Tang Sect's founding lineage," little boy responded, unveiling his connection to the venerable martial tradition.
…..
Observing the unfolding scene, Anping found the reality more tangible than the novel he had perused. Opting to remain aloof, he summoned his martial spirit, secured a seat, and began his cultivation.
As a shadow cast over them, Anping looked up to find Tang Wulin, accompanied by the lively stout gentleman.
"Hey, what's your martial spirit? What's your innate soul power level?" the chubby enthusiast queried with evident pride.
Anping sighed faintly, "Well, here it is, level six." He raised the book in his hand, signaling that it represented his martial spirit.
"Tch, the soul power level is quite high, but it's a pity that it's a useless martial spirit. Maybe it's not as good as Blue Silver Grass." After saying that, he turned and walked towards the crowd, not knowing whose martial spirit he wanted to ask about.
Anping shook his head and didn't care.
"Hello, my name is Tang Wulin, and my martial spirit is Blue Silver Grass."
Anping also nodded "Anping, this book is my martial spirit."
After he said hello and he continued reading.
Examining the cryptic runes on the book, Tang Wulin inquired, "Anping, can you tell me what these runes signify?"
Anping, on the verge of responding, hesitated momentarily, considering Tang Wulin's possessing divine sense of Tang San. "Well, I'm not exactly sure. It's my martial spirit, after all. Feel free to peruse it and delve into its intricacies."
After saying that, he put away his martial spirit and signaled to Tang Wulin that the teacher was back. Tang Wulin quickly sat down.
"Greetings, everyone. I'm your class teacher, Lin Ximeng. Over the next three years, I'll guide you through the realm of spirit masters. Let's start with introductions. Share your name, martial spirit, and innate soul power level." Lin Ximeng approached the podium, surveyed the room, and, catching a whisper, addressed the students.
"I'm Wan Yunchao, wielding a sword as my martial spirit, and my innate spirit power stands at level five. With aspirations to become a titled Douluo, I'll be known as Sword God Douluo," proudly declared the fat man enthusiast.
"Indeed, Wan Yunchao, your diligence will be key," Lin Ximeng responded with a smile, encouraging the aspiring Sword God Douluo to strive for his goals.
"I am Tang Wulin, my Martial spirit is Blue Silver grass, and my innate soul power stands at level three," announced Tang Wulin, prompting a ripple of laughter through the room.
As the laughter subsided, another student chimed in, "I'm Zhou Shaolong..."
Among the sixteen individuals, Anping's turn arrived swiftly. Rising from his seat, he introduced himself, "I am Anping, where 'An' signifies peace and 'Ping' signifies calm. My martial spirit is a book, and my innate spirit power is level six."
His declaration of a level six innate spirit power stirred a collective reaction. Given that Wan Yunchao held the highest level at five, and the majority hovered around levels three or four, Anping's revelation brought a noticeable buzz among the assembled students.
"Okay, be quiet. Student Anping's innate spirit power is indeed quite high, but the most important thing is to start class now. In the first class today, I will give you a preliminary introduction to the classification of martial spirit in the morning, and will guide you in meditation in the afternoon. Meditation is the only way to improve your spirit power, students who want to become spirit masters must take it seriously in the afternoon."
"As we all know, everyone in this world has his or her own martial spirit. The martial spirit awakens at the age of six. The martial spirit may exist in any form. Those with innate spirit power can become soul masters."
"Martial spirits can be roughly divided into two categories, weapon spirits and beast spirits."
As she spoke, she wrote down the beast martial spirit and the weapon martial spirit respectively on the blackboard.
"Among them, those that appear in the form of life are animal martial spirits, and those that appear in non-living forms are weapon spirits."
Then she wrote life and non-life under the beast spirit and weapon spirit respectively.
"There is also a more special martial spirit. This kind of martial spirit is expressed in the human body or a part of the body. It is called the original body martial spirit. However, the original body martial spirit is very rare."
As she spoke, she wrote down the words "Intended Martial Spirit" on the side.
"Spirit masters predominantly fall into two primary categories: battle spirit masters, who focus on combat proficiency, and auxiliary spirit masters, dedicated to non-combat applications. Additionally, both spirit masters and martial spirits can be further classified into numerous smaller categories," elucidated Lin Ximeng, providing a foundational understanding to the aspiring students.
She also talked about the auxiliary system, control system, defense system, strong attack system, sensitive attack system, etc.
Also talked about spirit masters, mecha masters, battle armor masters, etc. There are also categories such as blacksmiths and designers.
Listening to Lin Ximeng's explanation of martial spirit and spirit masters, the students below seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and they all listened with interest.
Only Anping summoned the martial arts spirit and held a pen as if he was taking notes seriously. In fact, But he was reading the content of the book.
