Chapter 90: Chapter 89 Wind God Slash?

Du Bai sidled up to Tang San, "Xiao Tang, when can you show us that Wind God Slash again? Everyone's really curious about how you compressed the element.""Wind God Slash? What's that?" Tang San blinked.

Du Bai said, "It's the wind blade you compressed yesterday! It was so powerful that everyone decided to name it Wind God Slash, doesn't it sound cool?"

Tang San couldn't help but give a wry smile and helplessly replied, "Senior Brother was going easy on me yesterday."

"No, I wasn't letting you win, if anything, you might've been holding back," a hearty laugh resonated from the doorway, and Wu Bingji entered, clearly having overheard the conversation between Tang San and Du Bai.

His eyes were bright and lively, and his face was full of joy, his whole aura seemed to have noticeably improved.

He made his way over to Tang San and sat beside him, giving him a thumbs-up, "Your words yesterday really opened my eyes. Last night's cultivation session was particularly effective. I think I might have found a path of my own. The teachers have always said that if we want to advance to higher stages in the future, we have to find our own path. Only then can we achieve higher levels. Xiao Tang, thank you. I owe you one. If I get a chance, I'll find you a spiritual herb as gratitude – one with a wind attribute."

At this time, almost all the students were dining in the cafeteria, and Wu Bingji did not hide these words from anyone. Everyone looked surprised upon hearing his speech.

Unable to hold back, someone asked, "Senior Brother, what did you and Xiao Tang discuss yesterday?"

Wu Bingji smiled and replied, "It was about element control. Xiao Tang gave me a lot of inspiration. His research into elements is far beyond what I've achieved."

"Senior Brother is too kind," Tang San said with a hint of helplessness. He could clearly sense the gazes of his senior classmates had changed when they looked at him.

Wu Bingji winked at him and then jerked his chin towards the doorway.

A thought flashed through Tang San's mind, and he quickly caught on.

Could it be that Wu Bingji's cultivation base had improved, the teacher had noticed, and then he reported yesterday's exchange with Tang San? And the teacher had him speak about it in the cafeteria to prompt everyone to come to Tang San for advice?

Sure enough, Gu Li, who was also a bit on the skinny side and sitting opposite him, couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Tang, do you know anything about the Time element?"

The corner of Tang San's mouth twitched. Of course, he knew. After reaching the divine-ranked level, anyone would be interested in the powerful attributes of Time and Space, and he was no exception. Moreover, he had quite a profound understanding of it from before. In his past life, his son and grandson even had formidable abilities when it came to Time Control.

But now, he couldn't just reveal that! If he let on that he understood the abilities of Time, the teachers would dissect and study him to no end.

Tang San shook his head repeatedly, "The mysteries of Time are beyond my understanding. I was hoping to learn from my seniors."

Gu Li looked somewhat disappointed as he spoke, "I actually don't quite understand it myself, just that I can simply use the skill." Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Sitting not far away, his opponent from yesterday, Zhang Zebin, said, "Enough already, you can stop trying to understand. If you grasp it any deeper, will there be any room left for the rest of us to survive?"

Everyone immediately burst into laughter. His ability to freeze time was indeed a powerful control skill that gave everyone a headache during actual combat.

As the discussion unfolded, the atmosphere in the cafeteria clearly warmed up. People occasionally directed questions to Tang San, and he answered them appropriately and by the book. The topics of conversation broadened, making the breakfast lively and extraordinary. Tang San could clearly feel that he was starting to be accepted by this group. Naturally, Senior Brother Wu Bingji played the largest role in this. His affinity towards Tang San naturally increased the others' fondness towards him.

The bell for class rang.

The morning class wasn't a physical training session, it seemed to be aimed at allowing the students to recover from yesterday's exertions. It was a theory class held in the largest room in the north building. All students were required to attend. The lecturer was none other than Guan Longjiang.

Following the crowd, Tang San entered the large room that served as the classroom and found a chair to sit down in the corner. Du Bai naturally took the seat next to him.

The other students also found their seats, while Guan Longjiang was writing something on a board mounted to the wall.

"Teacher Guan, everyone has arrived," Wu Bingji reported.

"Mm, let's start the class then," Guan Longjiang turned around, his gaze sweeping over the students and eventually pausing noticeably on Tang San.

"Today we're going to review the hierarchical classification of the Monster Clan. This class has been taught before, but Tang San is new and he's not familiar with it. And I guess you've all pretty much forgotten it, too. Today, I'll take some time to go over it again."

The hierarchical classification of the Monster Clan? Tang San was immediately elated. This was actually one of the areas of knowledge he was most eager to learn about. He knew nothing about the higher levels of the Monster Clan. Wang Yanfeng had previously only taught them some basic things since he himself did not understand the higher levels of the Monster Clan.

Guan Longjiang said, "Generally speaking, the Monster Clan divides the bloodline levels into five major rankings. The situation on the Spirit Clan's side is also not much different. Different bloodline levels determine the different classes within the Monster Clan. In the entire Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, bloodline is supreme. A powerful bloodline also represents powerful strength and potential."

"We humans, as vassals, do not belong within these five levels. The five levels mentioned here only apply to the Monster Clan itself. Even if the bloodline level of a vassal is high, it is still just a vassal. Our bloodline and strength have to be strong for us to have a slightly higher status. But overall, we are just vassals. So, when I discuss the Monster Clan's hierarchy, you do not need to apply it to yourselves. Because there isn't much significance."

"The fifth level of the Monster Clan refers to those relatively weak and not adept at fighting. It also includes some of the Monster Clan's own vassal races, such as Pig Monsters, which belong to this category. The biggest characteristic of this class of Monster kind is the lack of subdivision. Like Pig Monsters, they are just Pig Monsters, not divided into Black Pig Demons, White Pig Demons, and the like. Due to their weakness, they only have a general name. And those adept at fighting, like Porcupines, do not belong to this category; they are classified separately. The fifth level of the Monster Clan often has some combat ability, but generally speaking, when born innate, they definitely won't exceed the Third Stage. Their potential for future growth is also quite limited, making them the lowest existence within the Monster Clan."

"The fourth level of the Monster Clan, starting from this level, can actually be considered true Monsters. Almost all of them are skilled in combat, innate at birth with at least Second Stage strength, but generally not surpassing the Fifth Stage. The top fourth-level Monster Clan, when born, is not much different from the third level, but the potential for growth is where they differ. This level has the largest number of Monster Clan members. Most middle power Monster kind belong to this level. Their biggest characteristic is that it's very difficult for them to cultivate past the Ninth Stage to reach the higher divine-ranked levels."

Fourth level with a potential to cultivate to the Ninth Stage? As he explained, Tang San's understanding felt somewhat refreshed again.

"When we reach the third level, it's a whole different world. Third-level Monster Clan are born with at least Third Stage strength innately, but generally do not surpass the Eighth Stage. This level can also be considered as the backbone of the Monster Clan. Some strong races belong to this tier. For example, the royalty and powerful branches of lions, tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, and Jiao are of this level, while the weaker branches are of the fourth level. For instance, Wind Wolves belong to the fourth level. The great monster of the current Wolf Monster lineage is the Golden Wolf King. At the third level, there's a possibility of cultivating to a god rank, that is, Rank 10, and even breaking through to rank 11 is possible. But the third level is very difficult to cultivate to the utmost peak, the Ancestral Demon Level, also known as the legendary rank 12 great monster."
