At this moment.
“Teacher, 500 years of experience… Wang Che’s green caterpillar has 500 years of soul power cultivation?” A student could not help but ask.
“Of course not.” Teacher Zheng glared at the student, “Did you forget everything you learned in Year One?”
“The power of a soul skill is not directly related to soul power cultivation base. Only soul beasts in the wilderness have not undergone systematic training and are not cultivated by humans. Therefore, the power of their soul skills is related to their soul power cultivation base.”
“However, when we train soul pets, from food to training equipment, while making use of scientific training methods, as well as developing the soul pet’s intelligence, Soul Guiding Skill, and so on, we will increase the soul pet’s learning of soul skills.”
“Naturally, it’s not completely related to soul power cultivation. For example, with the most basic level of proficiency, wild soul beasts won’t often use soul skills. However, if you train your soul pets hard and let them use soul skills more than ten times a day, the power of the soul skills will clearly increase after a month.”
“Don’t be afraid of exhausting your soul pets. Their stamina and recovery abilities are much stronger than you weaklings who have yet to awaken your martial souls.”
“The harder you train them, the faster your emotions will increase. From there, it will affect the soul contract and all aspects of your life.”
“Do you understand?”
“Don’t go back every day and just think about playing with soul pets. You have to train more. A certain amount of playing and entertainment is naturally necessary, but you should pay more attention to training soul pets.”
“Some of you think that you’ll not walk on the path of a professional Contract Soul Master. In the future, you want to become a Beast Breeder, Pet Doctor, Researcher, Pharmacist, Weapon Master, and so on. As such a Contract Soul Master who don’t need to fight, you don’t need to train your soul pets.”
“That is a huge mistake!”
Teacher Zheng lectured and many students nodded quickly.
“Alright, let’s talk about martial souls today. You now have a soul pet and have signed a life contract. It’s been more than two months. There are less than three months left. You’re about to awaken your martial souls.”
Teacher Zheng let the green caterpillar return to Wang Che’s side.
Hearing the word martial soul, all the students’ eyes lit up.
They had actually learned a lot about martial souls.
However, they had yet to come into contact with the specifics.
Teacher Zheng brought the students to a vast area in the field.
“I can’t be bothered to nag about most of the basic knowledge of the martial soul. If you don’t understand, go back and look through the teaching materials yourself.”
Teacher Zheng coughed and said, “First of all, you have to understand one thing. Currently, the martial souls that are awakened are all awakened spontaneously. If the aptitude is too poor, they can only rely on external forces to awaken. If the aptitude is the worst, they can’t even awaken with external forces. They can’t be awakened.”
If one could not awaken the martial soul, it was not a problem to be an ordinary person.
There were many humans with awakened martial souls in this world.
However, there were even more ordinary people. It was also a good choice to nurture the next generation as an ordinary person.
This was not embarrassing.
He might not be able to awaken it in this generation, but it was not certain for their children.
Moreover, ordinary people could also train soul pets, but they could only train one at best.
Teacher Zheng continued to explain.
“There are three elements related to martial souls: form, grade, and aptitude.”
“The form can determine the future direction of your martial soul.”
“The grade can determine the strength of your martial souls in the future.”
“Your aptitude can determine your martial soul’s future cultivation speed and upper limit!”
“Aptitude is the most important thing, because this is the only thing you can grasp and change!”
“In the ancient era, because there was no life contract, the grade of the martial soul was related to the talent. The higher the grade, the better the innate talent, and the higher the cultivation realm!”
“The lower the grade, the lower the aptitude. Even if you awaken your martial soul, you can only cultivate to Level 20 in your entire life.”
“Moreover, it’s fixed. You can’t change your aptitude afterwards.”
“But!”
“In the present world, the aptitude of a martial soul is not only related to your martial soul, but it is also related to the life contract!”
“It doesn’t matter if your martial soul’s grade is low. As long as you awaken and work hard to train your soul pets and increase the life contract between the two of you, your physical strength will increase, and your martial soul’s innate aptitude will also increase!”
“Even if you awaken the lowest grade martial soul, as long as you work hard to train your soul pet, your martial soul aptitude will increase. The more you train your soul pet, the more your aptitude will increase.”
“At the same time, the upper limit of the level that you can cultivate in the future will be higher!”
“Of course, training is not about quantity or the number of soul pets you train. Quality matters!”
Teacher Zheng looked at the serious students and nodded in satisfaction.
“So, why does every teacher of ours want you to work hard to train your soul pets, nurture your soul pets, and teach you basic training? To supervise you every day? Do you think it’s for our sake?”
“It’s all for yourselves!”
“This is the only chance you have to change your fate!”
Many students blushed.
In the current world, training soul pets had long become mainstream.
Everyone knew the reason.
Otherwise, why would so many Contract Soul Masters work hard to cultivate soul pets?
There were a large number of Contract Soul Masters with low martial souls in order to increase their aptitude and walk further.
Why did the education system stipulate that before a student awakened their martial soul, they had to choose a soul pet and train it for a semester?
It was to rapidly increase the innate aptitude of the students’ martial souls at this stage.
“Teacher, if that’s the case, why can’t we start training soul pets at the age of six or seven?”
A student asked, “In that case, after cultivating for more than ten years, no matter how bad the cultivation is, our martial soul’s aptitude will increase greatly, right?”
“I want to give you a slap.” Teacher Zheng angrily rebuked, “How strong is a soul pet? Have you not seen it before? If I let you nurture it at the age of six or seven, as a bunch of brats, do you know how much of a threat it is to society to let you grasp this power?”
“The modern soul pet law stipulates that soul pets under the age of 18 are not allowed to train soul pets. At the age of 18, you have already passed the legal protection period. Abusing the power of soul pets will be punishable by the law.”
“Moreover, at the age of six or seven, your soul power doesn’t support you signing a life contract with soul pets.”
“You, go and copy the ‘Social Structure of Soul Pet and Human’ textbook ten times after school.”
“You’ve forgotten all about junior high school knowledge!”
“…”
“Alright, cut the crap. Let’s talk about the form today.”
Teacher Zheng waved his hand and said, “In the graduation examination, it’s best if you can awaken your martial soul on your own and let the examiner see the form of your martial soul. The more solid the form, the better the awakening and the higher the results.”
“Some people can only see a rough outline after awakening their martial souls.”
“For example, if the martial soul is a tree, the awakened form will be blurry as if it was a mosaic. That means it did not awaken well! The result will be very bad!”
“If it’s not even as good as a mosaic, then it can only be awakened by external forces. The results are much worse than the autonomous awakening!”
“Today, you have to begin sensing the form of your martial souls.”
“Sensing the martial soul’s form involves a key factor: mental strength.”
“You’ve all learned theoretical knowledge about mental strength, but you’ve never experienced it before.”
“Now, I’ll let you experience it simply.”
Teacher Zheng glanced at everyone, “Those who I call names, step forward!”
“Xu Haifeng, come out first!”
Xu Haifeng walked out with his head held high and stood in front of Teacher Zheng.
“Very good. I like your posture.”
Teacher Zheng narrowed his eyes, “Now, stand where you are and look me in the eye. Let’s see how long you can last.”
Xu Haifeng looked into Teacher Zheng’s eyes.
In less than a second, Xu Haifeng’s body trembled as if he had seen a terrifying flood beast.
He stumbled back, his steps unsteady as if he had a kidney deficiency.
Everyone was stunned… They thought to themselves, ‘Is that so?’
Teacher Zheng’s gaze was very stern, but it shouldn’t be like this, right?
“This Teacher Zheng is indeed extraordinary.”
Wang Che thought, ‘His mental strength is quite strong… It’s much stronger than mine now… It should be at least a level higher.’
He could feel Teacher Zheng’s mental strength just now.
Xu Haifeng scrambled back to his original position.
The students nearby laughed.
“What are you laughing at! You’ll know when you go up and try!” Xu Haifeng’s face turned red.
The Thousand-faced Flower comforted Xu Haifeng.
Soon, the next student walked up.
He looked Teacher Zheng in the eye… Hmm… Then, there was no laughter.
That was because they were the same as Xu Haifeng… He was so frightened that he peed his pants and crawled back.
It was over in basically one second. Those who were slightly better could last for two seconds.
“All of you actually have a certain amount of mental strength, but your will is too weak. You have no experience at all. You can’t even withstand a little mental impact.”
Teacher Zheng said, “A month ago, when Lin Xi left for the exchange, she could last for at least five seconds. Look at all of you. What have you become?”
At this moment, Teacher Zheng looked at Wang Che and said, “Wang Che, come up and try too.”
