Chapter 98 The Natural School's Method of Identity Building

After the battle ended, everyone dispersed. Although there was still discussion, it didn't cause a widespread sensation, since it was just a challenge between two freshmen, not a change in the Star Ranking.

When Ji Ming returned to the research institute, Ye Zhou glanced at him and asked casually, "Did you win?"

Ji Ming nodded with a happy expression, not because he had beaten Yuan Xiao, which was only natural, but because he had money again!

He now has a total of 750 merit points, and this huge sum of money is enough to excite him for a long time.

"good!"

Ye Zhou nodded, not too surprised. "You used the essence blood of the Heavenly Demon Clan?"

"No!" Ji Ming shook his head.

"Um?

'

Ye Zhou looked up in surprise, "How did you win without you?"

He seems to have received news that Zhao Mingquan acquired a Blood Refined Divine Weapon, right?

However, in his opinion, even with the Blood Refined Divine Weapon, he couldn't stop Ji Ming from unleashing his Demonic Descent and Demonic Might, so he didn't bother to say anything.

"You won just like that?! Didn't I tell you when I became a Bright King?" Ji Ming asked in confusion.

When the hell did you tell me that?

Ye Zhou gritted his teeth. Ming Wanglin? Ha, who cares!

He turned away silently, but finally couldn't control his expression anymore.

Damn, Ming Wang Lin?

So fast? Did you break through in the Tower of Babel?

Damn it, that bastard Zhao You is definitely going to steal my woman!

When is that old man finally coming back?

A hint of worry appeared in Ye Zhou's eyes, but he quickly regained his calm and collected demeanor when he turned around.

"Hmm, not bad, keep up the good work!" He patted Ji Ming on the shoulder, his heart pounding. What a strong physical body! He had truly mastered body refinement!

After a moment, he looked at Ji Ming and asked, "You've reached the seventh level of Jade Unveiling. How long will it take to reach the Perfect Jade Unveiling stage?"

Ji Ming pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It shouldn't take long, right?"

He has already found the Ancient Ruins Beast, a bug-level race in the Jade Purity Realm. Its cultivation speed mainly depends on the rate at which its essence blood is consumed after reaching the seventh level of Jade Purity.

But this time I won 750 merit points, so entering the Moon Well once more should be enough, right?

It won't be long?

Ye Zhou felt exhausted upon hearing this; only you would dare to say something like that.

"Alright, come with me. I'll take you to meet my senior brother. It's time to teach you the true techniques of our Natural School."

Ji Ming was surprised, "Isn't our school characterized by the identity of all races?"

"Who told you that?" Ye Zhou chuckled. "This is just research we've started in recent years. It can't even register the identity of one of the top 100 races. What kind of method is that?"

He smiled mysteriously, "Let's go, you'll see when we get there!"

Ji Ming followed Ye Zhou, his heart filled with anticipation. "Uncle-Master, it is said that our Grandmaster He Chuan only accepted these two students. Teacher Ye Zhou is very famous, but this Uncle-Master doesn't have a high profile."

As the two walked through the research area, he also saw the research institutes of various schools of thought. Generally speaking, they were either researching destiny cards or identity cards, or they didn't care about either and only focused on improving combat power.

The planting area consists of patches of spiritual land, planted with spiritual flowers and herbs. With the Xuanhuang Realm's origin damaged, such places are extremely rare, and each piece of spiritual land is the lifeblood of major forces.

"My senior colleague took on the position of 'planting area director,' and he's basically here every day."

Ye Zhou explained as he walked.

Several stone houses stood beside the sacred ground, and two men who looked like old farmers were squatting down, observing a purple sacred flower.

"Senior brother!"

A hint of respect appeared in Ye Zhou's eyes as he called out loudly.

One of the men looked up; his face was gentle, and he had a strong scholarly air about him. He smiled when he saw Ye Zhou, "Little Zhou, what brings you here?"

Ye Zhou and Ji Ming walked over, and another man stood up, a simple smile on his face, "Uncle-Master!"

"Hmm!" Ye Zhou nodded, looked around, and asked, "Where's Xiao Huan?"

The bookish man shook his head helplessly. "She couldn't stand being alone and went out to fool around again."

"Ha ha!"

Ye Zhou chuckled, turning to reveal Ji Ming behind him, and introduced, "Senior brother, this is my student, Ji Ming!"

"Ji Ming, this is your senior uncle Su Qiao, and your senior brother Wu Gang!"

"Greetings, Senior Uncle! Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Upon seeing this, Ji Ming hurriedly bowed and paid his respects.

"No need for such formalities!"

Su Qiao gently helped him up. "Good, not bad!"

"I've heard about it, but the plantation has been too busy lately, so I haven't had time to visit you. I hope you won't blame me, Uncle-Master."

""

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me." Ji Ming shook his head.

"Haha, come on in!"

The stone house was very simple, containing only a bed and a table.

Senior Brother Wu Gang waved his hand to the open space, and several chairs appeared. "Teacher, Uncle-Master, Junior Brother, please sit down."

"Thank you, senior brother!" Ji Ming said.

After sitting down, Su Qiao looked at Ji Ming and asked with a smile, "How is your teacher, Luo Zhao?"

Ji Ming was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "It's fine!"

"That's good!" Su Qiao nodded, and Ji Ming couldn't help but ask, "Uncle-Master, are you very familiar with Master Luo?"

Su Qiao remarked with emotion, "I'm quite a bit older than him, but we're still from the same generation. We've crossed paths before, and our relationship is alright."

"However, his talent is too great, far surpassing others, and I am far inferior to him." His voice was calm, without any emotional fluctuation, as if he were stating a fact.

Ye Zhou, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth. Normally, he would definitely have retorted, but since the person he was talking to was Uncle Luo, he could only keep quiet.

Ji Ming took a deep breath. Why would such a dazzling Master Luo hide in Baichuan City now?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!" Su Qiao smiled and changed the subject, looking at Ye Zhou, "What brings you here this time?"

Remembering the important matter, Ye Zhou pointed at Ji Ming and said, "Please, Senior Brother, activate the [Identity Spirit Realm] for this kid!"

Su Qiao and Wu Gang both looked surprised. "So early? I remember Ji Ming just enrolled. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. How can you be so reckless?"

"It's getting late!"

Ye Zhou shook his head, "You have to start from the Jade Purity Realm to build a foundation before you can advance to a higher level."

"Shouldn't you at least wait until the late Jade Unrefined stage before going in?" Su Qiao said angrily, "Are you really that irresponsible?"

Ye Zhou said seriously, "Please verify, Senior Brother!"

"Um?

""

Su Qiao glanced at Ye Zhou, then at Ji Ming, and probed with his divine sense, "Is this a divine sense barrier set up by Elder Zhang?"

A strange light flashed in his eyes, then his pupils dilated. So fast?

He looked at Ji Ming in shock. He Chuan was not there, so he was the actual person in charge of the Natural School. How could he not know that Ye Zhou was taking on students?

He knew all of Ji Ming's details perfectly well, even though he had only been enrolled for a few days.

Seven layers of jade?

Ji Ming was a little embarrassed. He could tell that Teacher Ye Zhou was showing off in front of his senior brother!

Are you taking advantage of your master's lack of internet access and ignorance of his relationship with Yuan Xiao?

However, my master was able to see his realm without breaking the barrier of divine sense.

He remembered that Elder Zhang had said that one must forcefully break through the seventh realm!

Su Qiao also realized what was happening at this moment, paused, and without looking at Ye Zhou, simply patted Ji Ming on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Very good!"

"In that case, the sooner the better. I'll open the [Identity Realm] for you!"

"Identity Spirit Realm? What is that?" Ji Ming finally had a chance to ask.

Su Qiao stood up and slowly said, "The Identity Spirit Realm is the core secret of my Natural School, created by your grandmaster—"

"Ahem! Senior brother, these are all our own people, don't flatter us!" Ye Zhou shook his head and interrupted, "What do you mean by 'created by ourselves'? It's clearly something we dug up from some unknown grave—"

Seeing that Su Qiao's gaze had turned dangerous, Ye Zhou immediately fell silent.

Senior Brother Wu Gang had already turned his back, not daring to listen anymore. It had been some time since they last met, and his uncle's mouth was becoming increasingly loose.

Having stopped some people from doing something reckless, Su Qiao smiled and looked at Ji Ming, pretending that nothing had happened.

The master took out an ancient-looking round mirror, its frame engraved with various patterns, which did indeed resemble those found in tombs—

Uh, Ji Ming quickly interrupted his dangerous thoughts.

Su Qiao continued to explain, "This mirror contains the [Identity Spirit Realm], which contains many methods for condensing identities."

""

"An identity can be formed on its own?" Ji Ming was shocked.

"Of course!" Su Qiao nodded. "Your identity card allows you to use the identity of the Heavenly Demon race through your essence blood, isn't that also a way of actively condensing it?"

"However, this method requires a very special identity card, and most identity cards cannot trigger the life imprint in the blood essence."

Is that right?

Ji Ming looked confused. He didn't understand the mechanism of [Myriad Forms] either, but it felt different from what his senior uncle had said. After all, he was able to use the identity of the Heavenly Demon Clan because of the characteristics of Myriad Forms, not the identity card itself.

He looked at the mirror in Su Qiao's hand. "Is there anything special about the identity inside?"

"Of course!"

Su Qiao nodded solemnly, "The identity in the Spirit Realm is unique. It can only be formed using the methods given to you within, and the methods you receive are only useful to yourself. No one else can use them to form the corresponding identity. It's like you exclusively possess one identity, which will grant you an extremely high status!"

"Furthermore, the identity you gain in the Spirit Realm can be upgraded as your cultivation level increases. Based on years of experience, it's best to enter at the late Jade Purity Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ming seemed to be deep in thought. The fewer people an identity occupies, the higher the rank one can achieve.

The reason why high-ranking positions among humans are usually held by only one person is probably because spreading positions among themselves would not be as effective.

If that's the case, then an identity in the Spirit Realm would be extremely valuable, because even if he were to acquire the identity of another race, it wouldn't be enjoyed by one person alone; the top experts of those races would have already occupied those positions.

His previous idea of ​​gaining a status among all races to elevate his position was perhaps just wishful thinking!

He wasn't disappointed. People's plans should change as they become more aware. People who don't change are basically useless. Besides, isn't there an opportunity to gain a unique position and status?

Su Qiao tossed the mirror into the air, and it transformed into a square, light blue portal. "Go in. The Spirit Realm will automatically assign you the most suitable identity!"

Ji Ming nodded, suppressing his excitement, and stepped forward.

"Don't be nervous. Just stay where you are once you're inside. There's no hierarchy in the Spirit Realm. The higher your cultivation level, the stronger it becomes," Su Qiao reassured her with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ming no longer hesitated and disappeared into the portal.

Su Qiao's eyes were filled with anticipation. The identities in the Spirit Realm did indeed have extremely high growth potential, and the rank they provided was linked to one's own realm, so there was no strict division of ranks. However, the characteristics carried by the identities varied in strength. After all, the rank was only useful at the seventh realm, and for professionals in the early and middle stages, the characteristics played a greater role.

In a flash, Ji Ming found himself in the starry sky, with countless stars overhead, twinkling as if testing something.

Ji Ming was very obedient. Since his senior master said not to move, he naturally wouldn't do anything reckless.

Soon.

The stars in the sky suddenly began to shake, each one bursting with obvious fluctuations. Just as Ji Ming was feeling uneasy, two beams of light shot out from an extremely distant place like searchlights!

Ji Ming couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them again, the two points of light had turned into two enormous stars, which then slammed into his forehead!

boom-!!

Ji Ming's ears were ringing, and his mind was filled with a large amount of information. When he regained consciousness, he found himself back in the stone house, where he was greeted by three pairs of expectant eyes.

"How is it? How did it go?" Ye Zhou was the first to lose his composure and hurriedly asked.

Ji Ming paused for a moment, then quickly cleared his jumbled thoughts and nodded. "Very good!"

"Tell us, what identity did you acquire? Let's see if we can help you condense it as soon as possible?" Su Tao asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ming also showed anticipation. He summoned his identity card, and the Condensation Technique he had obtained in the Spirit Realm was automatically engraved on the identity card. He enlarged it, and the information appeared in front of the group.

[Identity: Void Merchant Iv.1]

【Traits: Treasure Trove, Child of the Void】

[Conditions for Condensation: 1. Breaking the Limit Twice; 2. Obtaining the Void Extreme Fruit; 3. Leaving Footprints in Two Different Worlds]

"What does 'breaking the limit twice' mean?" Ji Ming asked.

"The Path to Divinity is one of the methods to break through limitations!"

Su Tao explained, "It's alright, not too difficult. Once you cultivate the Xi Yu Pu Ascend God Technique, you'll have broken through the limit twice."

"The Void Fruit—I'm giving it to you by my senior uncle, consider it a token of my respect!" Su Qiao said with a smile.

"this----"

Seeing Ye Zhou nod, he bowed and said, "I've troubled you, Senior Uncle!"

"Haha, this is nothing!"

Su Tao waved his hand, "The Void Extreme Fruit is quite precious. It might be a bit troublesome for you to find it yourself. Since your Spirit Realm status can improve with your cultivation level, it's better to condense it as much as possible."

"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Ji Ming thanked him again. Although he said that, Su Tao didn't owe him anything. It was normal for him not to give it to him, but it would be a favor if he did. That's why he never thought of asking Ye Zhou for the Earthly Fiend Floating Nether Qi.

Firstly, it's hard to explain; secondly, one should be content. The apprenticeship gift given by the grandmaster was already very generous. Even with his authority, [Sword Dao] couldn't find the information, which shows how precious it was. If one were to seek more, it would only annoy others.

Ji Ming then looked at the third condition and asked, "Does the secret realm and the star realm count as two different worlds?"

"That probably won't work!"

Su Tao shook his head, "Both of these belong to the Xuanhuang Realm and are part of our world."

"Don't worry, the freshman monthly exam on July 10th will be held in the Crimson Dragon Plains. You can just go in together then."

"Of these three conditions, the first one is the most difficult; taking the second step to godhood is no easy feat!"

"The Crimson Dragon Realm? Senior Brother, what's going on?" Ye Zhou asked hurriedly.

"Let's not talk about that now." Su Tao shook his head, looking expectantly at the two characteristics, especially [Child of the Void]. "Ji Ming, could you show these two characteristics to our senior master?"

"Of course!" Ji Ming displayed the information on the ID card.

[Treasure Basin: Each year, you can obtain one treasure of the same level as your own (randomly), or you can duplicate a treasure of the same level.]

[Child of the Void: Your talent in the laws of the void has been enhanced, with the enhancement increasing with your level.]

"It really is a characteristic that enhances the talent of laws?" Su Tao murmured, his gaze seemingly burning with intense heat.

"Holy crap, what kind of amazing traits are these two?!" Ye Zhou exclaimed in surprise. He looked at Ji Ming, wondering how this kid could possibly be compatible with the [Void Merchant] trait.

The same love of money?

Even Wu Gang, the usually quiet and unassuming senior brother, showed a look of envy.

Su Tao took a breath. "It's a very strong characteristic, but you need to be prepared, because this kind of status upgrade is often not easy."

"I understand!" Ji Ming nodded. He possessed the Yuanli Pill and the Void Law, which would be an extremely terrifying power in any world, right?

Moreover, the [Treasure Basin] is quite powerful. Once he reaches the sixth realm and the ship realm, wouldn't he be able to get a high-level treasure for free every year?

Moreover, he can also specify the replication of some extremely rare natural treasures. Given enough time, he can mass-produce them!

He knew whether rare objects could be replicated. Ji Ming thought of the Tower of Babel, but even if it could, it was beyond his current level to even dream of.

"Su Tao clearly thought of this as well, and immediately revealed the powerful effects of the later stages of the [Treasure Basin], hurriedly instructing the other two that the matter of Heaven must not be exposed!"

"Let it go!"

Ye Zhou nodded. "In Xia Country, who would dare to resort to underhanded tactics?"

Competition is competition, but everything has red lines. Anyone who dares to cross those lines will surely perish!

If it weren't for the rules, Uncle Luo Hong would have died eight hundred times over!

So Ye Zhou didn't care much; what did it matter if he was exposed?

"It's better to be cautious. Ji Mingchi Hong is going to venture into various primordial realms, and even the battlefields of myriad realms," Su Tao said calmly.

"Yes, that's true!"

Ye Zhou nodded, then asked, "Senior brother, now you should tell me what's going on with the Crimson Dragon Realm, right?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the location for the freshman monthly exam has been changed to the Crimson Dragon Realm, and the scale has been expanded. This time it's jointly organized by the four major star palaces, and second-year students are also allowed to participate," Su Tao said casually.

He looked at Ji Ming and said, "Anyway, it's going to be announced in a couple of days, so it doesn't hurt to tell you in advance."

"Although the Crimson Dragon Realm is a Level 1 Realm, I remember that it should also be connected to the Crimson Flame Demon Clan, right?"

"It's so dangerous, why are the elders willing to take the risk?" Ye Zhou asked in surprise.

"The Education Department's order must be obeyed, no matter how reluctant we are!" Su Tao said calmly.

He cautioned Ji Ming, "Although the Crimson Flame Demon Clan is powerful, they are only at the first level of the Origin Realm, with the highest level reaching the third tier. What you need to be most wary of are the native races of the Crimson Dragon Origin Realm, as they have fourth-tier beings among them!"

Ji Ming nodded solemnly. He could still put up a fight against the third-tier opponents, but the fourth-tier opponents—there was no way he could escape!

"Of course, the Education Department won't send you to your deaths. The exam area should be near the Crimson Dragon Base, which has been cleared many times, so it won't be too dangerous. Tier 3 should be very rare," Su Tao reassured him.

However, even though that's the case, the Crimson Dragon Realm is not within the complete control of the Xuanhuang Civilization, so no one can predict what unexpected events might occur.

Although there were risks, no one dared to disobey the well's order. The Xuanhuang civilization had indeed been too comfortable for too long, and the younger generation needed a more intense form of training. Cultivating within the framework all the time was not conducive to their growth.

Su Tao paused for a moment, then added, "However, the academy fully respects students' autonomy. If they really don't want to go, they are allowed to give up."

Ji Ming shook his head inwardly. Give up?

If you dare to abandon the academy, we'll abandon you too!

If you don't even dare to go to the first-level Origin Realm, how can you be expected to protect the human race on the battlefield of ten thousand realms in the future?

The battlefield of myriad realms is much more dangerous; even a ship-level warrior can die in an instant if he's not careful!

Of course, Ji Ming estimated that in the end, quite a few people would give up because they were afraid of death and wanted to save their lives. That's human nature. If they gave up, they would only live a mediocre life, but at least they would save their lives.
