Chapter 13 - Spirit Ranks

Hai Long asked more about his son's first day at school, trying to suss out everything that happened. When Hai Xuanhao 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," Hai Long told him with a smile.

"Hooray, hooray!" Hai Xuanhao exclaimed in excitement. He wasn't only interested in Spirit Guidance flying cars but also planes and interplanetary warships – things that he'd seen on television.

The next day, Hai Xuanhao 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 Shu Yulin – 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."

"10,000,000 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 Hai Xuanhao, please stand up."

Hai Xuanhao stood up obediently.

Shu Yulin smiled at him and said, "Go on and release your spirit."

Xuanhao nodded. "En."

He raised his left hand and spots of blue halo formed on his palm as the Water from the Air got extracted, circled with a white halo, appeared.

Shu Yulin said, "Everyone saw it, right? Student hai Xuanhao's spirit is a type called Element-Control. It is an Elemetalist Spirit type, but the fact that he could cultivate to this level at the age of seven meant that the Spirit had a certain degree of mutation. Notice the ability to extract water from Air? Both of those could've been caused by mutation. Additionally, that white halo around his Hands 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 Hai Xuanhao can cultivate to a higher level, he has a chance to upgrade his Spirit Ring. Alright, Hai Xuanhao, you can call your spirit back."

"En." Hai Xuanhao just shook his Hands and the Water extracted from The Air, again Evaporated away into the air. then He sat back down.

"Spirit Rings represent the gap between Spirit Masters," Shu Yulin 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 ranked 95 and above is known as Super Douluo and one who is ranked 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 God Tang Xuanyu, defeated the Crimson Queen after he became a God-King. But in overall strength, he can withstand the siege of multiple God-Kings level powerhouses at the same time.

"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, Hao Xuanhao 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 Hai Xuanhao would be seeing Wu Lixue again.
