103: Chapter 103 Su Qingtang: How did you manage as a homeroom teacher before?

Four: Earth-Tier High-Grade Martial Art "Soul-Awe Spear Stance: Might," an active crowd control skill compatible with dual pistols or rifles. It releases a golden spear-intent aura; enemies within a maximum radius of 120 meters will be affected by the Soul-Awe effect, reducing their attack and movement speeds.

Maximum Psionic Energy consumption: 200 points.

[Ding! The Earth-Tier High-Grade Martial Art "Soul-Awe Spear Stance: Might" has reached Entry Level. Consume 32,000 corrosion crystals to continue upgrading it to Proficient?]

Five: Heaven Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique "Sky-Splitting Art."

[Ding! The Heaven Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique "Sky-Splitting Art" has reached Entry Level. Consumed 91,000 corrosion crystals.]

Yun Zhuo casually tossed the five crystal cards into his bracelet. Although he had already learned all these Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques, making the cards irrelevant, he still had to go through the motions.

"Do you have any purple essence stones?"

Big Teacher Su nodded. "Yes, I've already prepared them."

After saying that, she took out five purple essence stones. "Here."

Yun Zhuo took the purple essence stones. "I'll start refining them tomorrow and strive to reach Entry Level soon. By the way, do I still need purple essence stones for the process from Entry Level to Proficient?"

"Yes. It's equivalent to refreshing my skills; each refresh requires one Amethyst Stone."

"Is this stuff expensive?"

"Exchanging them at school costs one thousand academic credits each."

"What about outside?"

"purple essence stones are considered important strategic resources and are not sold to the public."

Yun Zhuo didn't know if it was a strategic resource, but it was certain that the noble Families used them to maintain their transcendent status.

Only by controlling these vital resources could they maintain their dominant position.

Yun Zhuo weighed the purple essence stones in his hand and looked at Big Teacher Su. "Your Family should have quite a few of these, right?"

"Huh?"

"Never mind, pretend I didn't say anything."

Realizing what he meant, Big Teacher Su quickly said, "I can try asking the Family for some."

"Will you be able to get them?"

"It's hard to say. purple essence stones are different from azure essence stones and corrosion crystals. These things in the Family are managed by my Second Uncle. I definitely won't get many, but a few shouldn't be a problem."

"Then get as many as you can. Can you get any Cultivation Techniques or Martial Skills?"

"As for Cultivation Techniques, Heaven Rank ones are managed by my Eldest Uncle, so that might be difficult. However, Earth Rank ones should be fine."

"Then forget it. By the way, I heard Chen Qi mention earlier that War Princesses can be summoned. What does that mean?"

Big Teacher Su acted as if she had expected Yun Zhuo to ask this and pulled another crystal card from her bracelet. "This is a Summoning Array that was only researched in recent years.

You just need to memorize this Formation, and you can use Psionic Energy to summon the War Princess you've contracted with."

"You're just giving it to me like this? Doesn't this thing require a usage permit?"

Big Teacher Su shook her head and pushed up her glasses. "Currently, it doesn't, because it's restricted to the Twelve Families and a few professors.

At the same time, this Formation is not yet perfect; it only allows a War Spirit Master to perform a one-way summon of a War Princess."

"Teacher Su, can I ask you a common sense question?"

Big Teacher Su nodded. "Go ahead."

"What's the deal with these Formations? The emergence of War Spirit Masters and War Princesses originated from the Great Cataclysm caused by a silicon-based virus. Logically, we should be on a sci-fi path, so why are there such Xuanhuan things like Formations?

Also, back in Dawn City, Little Teacher Su and I once went to a place to farm Mutated Beasts, killing them from one end of the valley to the other.

When we came back, the Mutated Beasts at the valley entrance had reappeared, just like a game System spawning mobs."

"I'll answer your first question first.

Formations come from the world below, also known as the Underground City, which was the human sanctuary of the previous era before the Great Cataclysm. All Formations were found there.

As for the principles and original source of the Formations, no one has fully understood them yet.

The main reason is that the civilization of our world has experienced a gap.

When the Great Cataclysm arrived, the high-end human elites all hid in the Underground City and eventually all died.

The current Kindling Federation was established on the wasteland.

As for why Mutated Beasts appear like game mobs, it's because of the existence of the Pathogen Mother Body, which acts like a queen ant."

Saying this, she opened the holographic screen on her bracelet, pulled up a file regarding the Pathogen Mother Body, enlarged the projection, and began giving Yun Zhuo a lesson.

Based on the actual images of the Pathogen Mother Body, these creatures varied greatly; some looked like mushrooms, some like cocoons, and others like crystals.

Big Teacher Su spread her hands, and an exquisite pointer appeared in her hand. She first drew a circle on the holographic screen, then pointed at it. "This kind of creature belongs to neither animals nor plants; it is a eukaryote similar to slime molds.

They are widely distributed in every corner of our world..."

"Wait a second, Teacher." Yun Zhuo felt himself getting sleepy and quickly raised his hand to interrupt Big Teacher Su's spellcasting. "I just want to know, what does this have to do with the question I asked?"

"Hmm..." Big Teacher Su pondered for a moment. "Xiao Zhuo, that's a very good question.

Let's put it this way: the Pathogen Mother Body can replicate Mutated Beasts by absorbing Corrosion Energy, much like a photocopier.

The originally mutated Mutated Beasts are the originals; after being absorbed by them, they can be continuously replicated through the original genes.

They grow underground like fungi, their mycelium intertwining into a net, and they can perform a secondary replication at the site where a Mutated Beast was killed.

If you want to clear the Mutated Beasts from a place to establish a town, you must destroy the Pathogen Mother Body there."

"I understand. Thank you, Teacher Su."

Yun Zhuo wanted to go back to his room after speaking, but he was stopped by Big Teacher Su. "Do you have anything else to ask? I'll tell you everything I know."

"Nothing else. I'm going to take a shower first."

Big Teacher Su put away the pointer, turned off the holographic projection, and sat down next to her sister. "Xiao Zhuo's grades in school probably weren't very good, right?"

"They were okay, the kind that's neither high nor low."

Seeing her sit over, Little Teacher Su naturally placed her feet on her sister's lap, leaned back, and turned on her bracelet to start binge-watching a show.

Big Teacher Su massaged her feet and said, "He's very smart, but his interest isn't in studying. Didn't you notice that when you were his homeroom teacher?"

"I didn't. There were over fifty students in the class; how could I look at them one by one?"

"Then how did you usually teach them?"

"By the lesson plan, of course. Besides, it was my first time being a teacher; I didn't have that much experience."

At this point, she suddenly looked up at her sister with a trace of wariness in her eyes. "Sis, you seem to be putting a lot of heart into Xiao Zhuo."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm telling you, that kid is incredibly perverted." As Little Teacher Su spoke, she even stretched out her foot and poked her sister's face. "You'd better stay away from him, or you'll regret it."

Big Teacher Su grabbed her foot and held it in her hand. "I think you're just jealous."

"Hmph, I am not."

"I'm not massaging you anymore; I'm going to take a shower."

"Are you coming back down?" Little Teacher Su asked.

"For what?"

"If you're not, I'm going to sleep."

Big Teacher Su, who had just reached the stairs, looked back at her. "Hmph."

"What's that 'hmph' supposed to mean?"

"I don't know."

Little Teacher Su checked the time; it seemed a bit early for bed.

She then glanced at her and Yun Zhuo's bedroom. Right, she still had to research some new things with that kid tonight; it seemed it wasn't that early after all.
