Chapter 201: The Spirit Origin Inheritance of the Seventh Principal (Third update, no debt)
On the Spirit Gathering Stele, a point of light began to emerge.
Compared to the point of light received by Xu Xiangzhi, the brightness of this one was significantly higher.
"This Spirit Origin must have been at the Sixth Rank level during their lifetime, perhaps even a Pseudo-King!"
Vice Principal Xu looked at this scene in surprise. On this Spirit Gathering Stele, the most precious was naturally the Spirit Origin of the first Principal, though this Spirit Origin had been absorbed by his descendants long ago.
Aside from the first Principal, the rest were Pseudo-Kings and Sixth Rankers. Although a Pseudo-King had greater strength, their essence remained at the Sixth Rank level, so the degree of brightness was naturally the same as a Sixth Ranker; at the very least, Vice Principal Xu could not tell the difference.
Li Zhangsheng looked at the token in his hand, feeling suspicious and uncertain. This token came from the Green Wild Forest and was the identity token of a man named Zhao Wentong, who was an Instructor at Yingluo Academy.
Judging by the fact that Zhao Wentong's Space Ring had been collected by the Giant Ape Clan, he had likely been killed, and the culprit was very likely the Giant Ape Clan.
This was Zhao Wentong's identity token, and his Soul Breath was still preserved on it. This point of light was likely activated by the stimulation of that Soul Breath.
However, at this moment, the point of light began to flicker violently, appearing as if it might extinguish at any time. It was clear that the Soul Breath on Zhao Wentong's identity token was insufficient, which was quite normal; after all, it was merely an external object.
Without any hesitation, Li Zhangsheng picked up Zhao Wentong's Instructor Token at top speed and pressed it against the Spirit Gathering Stele along with his identity token.
With the combined Soul Breath of the two tokens, the point of light barely stopped flickering, finally detaching from the Spirit Gathering Stele and pressing against Li Zhangsheng's Yin Tang acupoint.
The next moment, streams of unfamiliar memories flooded into Li Zhangsheng's mind. His reaction was no better than Xu Xiangzhi's; his body swayed violently, and feeling a splitting headache, he hurriedly sat down on the ground.
During this process, the point of light gradually dimmed, finally releasing its last glimmer of light in this world before disappearing.
Only then did Li Zhangsheng finally heave a sigh of relief, shaking his head, feeling much better.
This Spirit Origin Inheritance was quite overbearing; it was meant for Monster Tamers who specialized in Mental Power. If it were an ordinary person, they would likely have been turned into a vegetable by the direct impact of such a massive amount of memories.
At this time, Li Zhangsheng closed his eyes, carefully sensing this stream of unfamiliar memories.
The owner of the memories was a middle-aged man. He was tall and sturdy, his face held majesty, and while his features appeared unremarkable, his eyes were bright and piercing, easily leaving a deep impression on others.
Regarding this figure, Li Zhangsheng felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before. He thought carefully, and suddenly his heart stirred, recalling the dozen or so huge gilded statues standing at the entrance of Yuanling Academy. One of the gilded statues located on the edge matched the appearance of this middle-aged man perfectly.
"This is the seventh Principal!"
As a student of Yuanling Academy, no one could fail to be impressed by the dozen or so gilded statues at the school gate, and everyone would also read about their great achievements.
The seventh Principal was named Zhao Moke. It had been seventy or eighty years since his time. When he was young, he was the most famous prodigy in the Langya Kingdom at the time. He reached the Sixth Rank level before the age of thirty, became a Pseudo-King a few years later, and even took over the position of Principal, making him arguably the youngest Principal in the history of Yuanling Academy.
During his tenure as Principal, Principal Zhao Moke carried out a series of reforms at Yuanling Academy, greatly increasing the competitiveness of the students and laying the foundation for Yuanling Academy to become the second-ranked academy in the Langya Kingdom.
From Principal Zhao Moke's memories, it was learned that although he was extremely gifted, he was also extremely keen on adventure—well, to put it bluntly, he was courting death. After completing the reforms of Yuanling Academy, in order to allow his Demon Pet to achieve a breakthrough and become a King as soon as possible, he resolutely embarked on a journey of courting death.
Principal Zhao Moke first went to a famous Forbidden Land in the Langya Kingdom—the Ji Di Bing Yuan—to challenge the most powerful Ancient White Dragon. In the end, he was utterly defeated and chased for thousands of miles by the Ancient White Dragon. Fortunately, a King from the Langya Kingdom arrived in time to save him.
After failing to challenge the Ancient White Dragon, Zhao Moke immediately went to challenge two other Forbidden Lands. Not only did he fail in all of them, but his Demon Pet also failed to achieve a breakthrough, and becoming a King remained a distant prospect.
He then set his sights on a Demon Commander located in Luzhou. A Demon Commander is favored by the Abyss; as long as one slays a Demon Commander, the World Will will grant the slayer a certain amount of Heavenly Luck. This reward is intangible and formless, yet it truly exists, allowing the slayer to become more smooth-sailing and more favorable for breakthroughs, equivalent to obtaining a certain amount of Heavenly Luck favor.
In addition, the Spirit Essence from the heart of a Demon Commander is also the main ingredient for a certain precious Alchemical Pill, which can increase the probability of a Lord-rank Demon Pet breaking through to a Demon King-rank Demon Pet.
Demon King-rank is above Lord-rank. As long as one gathers enough Demon King-rank Demon Pets and meets certain conditions, one can become a King.
Unfortunately, Zhao Moke underestimated the cunning and cruelty of the Demon Commander and also overestimated himself. He and the King guarding the Abyss Gate in Luzhou besieged the Demon Commander together. In the end, the Demon Commander paid the price of being injured to forcefully kill Zhao Moke's Life-Bound Demon Pet, ultimately leading to Zhao Moke's fall.
After 'finishing' the fragmented memories of Principal Zhao Moke, Li Zhangsheng could not help but feel a little sigh. To be a Pseudo-King before the age of forty was truly astonishing talent. Originally, with his talent, if he had settled down to build a solid foundation and progressed step by step, coupled with the resources of Yuanling Academy, he would have had a high possibility of becoming a King in the future.
Unfortunately, Principal Zhao Moke chose another path. His series of actions were as if someone was constantly whipping him from behind.
Li Zhangsheng was not in a position to judge the life of this Principal, nor was he qualified to do so.
Of course, he was more concerned about the harvest this time.
After all, this was not all of Principal Zhao Moke's memories; the Spirit Gathering Stele had merely synthesized some of his memory fragments. Li Zhangsheng calmed his mind and began to check his gains.
At this time, Zhang Yi stepped forward and placed his hand on the Spirit Gathering Stele. His family was a Famous Clan in Peng City, and over the years, several family predecessors had served as Instructors at Yuanling Academy, and there was even one in a high-level position. Logically, the possibility of obtaining an inheritance was high. But the result? He obtained nothing.
There was no other reason; almost every year, members of the Zhang Family became students at Yuanling Academy. Even if most of them were not as good as Zhang Yi, there was a high possibility of them becoming Elite Class Members. Thus, in a situation where there were many monks but little gruel, the probability of inheritance was naturally greatly lowered, and it was even possible that these predecessors of the Zhang Family had already found inheritors.
Zhang Yi felt that his state of mind was about to explode!
It was also at this time that Li Zhangsheng finished checking his gains. Even though he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't conceal the smile on his face, so he had to turn his head to avoid letting others see.
