Wilderness: I Tame Beasts to Survive

Chapter 376: Chapter 263: Major Construction (Part 2)

Compared to Leon’s calm and steady hand, Lin Tianhe, despite having Tier Two Spiritual Power, drew much more slowly.

It took him nearly ten minutes just to painstakingly complete the final stroke.

When he finally let out a long breath and slowly raised his head,

he saw Sage staring grimly at the stone slate on the desk, not saying a word.

"Don’t look at me. Look at the slate," Sage said tonelessly.

"Ah? Oh!" Lin Tianhe jolted and quickly lowered his head.

"Do you see it?"

"I... I..." Lin Tianhe’s eyes widened, cold sweat dotting his forehead as he frantically searched for his mistake.

"Idiot. The 26th circuit has an abnormal Spiritual Energy fluctuation. It’s contaminated with Wind Elemental Particles. This is an error you can spot with the naked eye, and you still need to scan it with your Spiritual Power?"

Sage smacked Lin Tianhe on the forehead and said in a cold tone,

"I’ve told you before, you can’t rely solely on Spiritual Power to draw a Spiritual Array. Your eyes can deceive you, and so can your Spiritual Power. The 26th Spiritual Energy Circuit is contaminated with one percent Wind Type Particles, giving it a faint greenish tint. After class ends today, go to the Elemental Gate and spend three hours a day carefully observing the Elemental Marks above the stone gate. I’ll test you on it in a week."

GULP. "Y-Yes... I understand, Teacher Sage."

Lin Tianhe swallowed hard and hastily agreed.

’I thought after I transmigrated to another world, I would never again have to experience the oppressive feeling of a teacher’s death glare... but I never expected this...’

"Next."

"..."

Time slowly passed, with Sage’s angry rebukes echoing through the classroom from time to time.

No one dared to utter a sound in the face of Sage’s tirades.

"Han Ning, you’re up. Start from the 657th Spiritual Energy Circuit."

"Yes, sir."

Behind a clean stone desk,

Han Ning took a book-sized, grayish-white stone slate and a black wooden pen with a razor-sharp tip from his drawer.

He placed the slate flat on the desk, picked up the wooden pen, and lightly touched its tip to the surface, tracing a series of arcs.

Lines extended from the sharp tip.

Completely absorbed in his work, Han Ning lost all track of time. His wrist flexed at a dizzying pace, the pen’s tip gliding across the slate in one elegant arc after another.

Gradually, the lines on the grayish-white slate grew more intricate. A pattern of shimmering lines—some winding, some straight, some curved—emerged on its surface.

Once the final stroke was laid down, Han Ning looked at his work with satisfaction. He picked up the slate and casually infused it with Spiritual Energy.

A soft hum resonated.

Faint ripples vibrated in the air above the slate, forming a glowing network of circuits that resembled a small spiderweb.

"Next." Sage glanced at it, his face devoid of expression, and moved on to the next student.

If a Beast Master with Tier Three Spiritual Power couldn’t even complete a Basic Spiritual Energy Circuit, Han Ning might as well have just found a rock and bashed his head against it on the spot.

Over two hours later, Sage had tested everyone except for Ah Yu.

More than half of them had produced less-than-ideal results.

For the first time, a look of disappointment appeared on Sage’s face.

"Today was our first little test, and I am very disappointed with the results. Half of you failed to complete the simplest Basic Array. At your current pace, it will take at least five years before you can successfully inscribe a Spiritual Array onto a Gray Demon Whale."

"Your daily workload is clearly too light. Starting tomorrow, the amount of Array tracing will be doubled, and your break time will be cut from three hours to an hour and a half."

"There is one other problem..."

Sage’s gaze rested on the Dragon Blood People and Ah Yu.

"The Meditation Technique you practice is too crude. Cultivating it will leave your Spiritual Strength insufficient to ever reach the Dark Star Level."

"I understand. You are not human, and the weakness of your races has prevented you from acquiring more advanced Meditation Techniques."

Sage remained expressionless, but what he said next shocked everyone in the room:

"You need a more advanced Spiritual Meditation Technique to break through to higher tiers."

"Next, I will teach you a method second only to the legacy Meditation Technique of the Fiery Sun Sect. It is called—Summoning Spirit."

"It is a Meditation Technique that was recovered from a branch of the Void Spirit Race after they were annihilated by the Witch Spirit Race."

"The humans among you may also listen. In your own words, it’s an opportunity to learn from others to compensate for your own shortcomings."

Sage extended his right arm and clenched his fist.

The muscles on his gaunt arm suddenly bulged.

To the astonishment of the onlookers, he walked over to the stone lectern, which stood over a meter high, and threw a punch.

BANG!

The solid block of stone instantly shattered into countless pieces, crumbling all over the floor.

Sage retracted his fist and explained,

"After Tier One, under the influence of one’s Spiritual Meditation Technique and a Soul Beast’s absorption of Spiritual Energy, a Beast Master’s physique is imperceptibly transformed and strengthened by Spiritual Particles."

"And upon reaching Tier Two..."

He opened his hand, palm facing up, and loosely curled his fingers.

A sudden breeze stirred within the windless classroom.

Crimson particles, visible to the naked eye, rapidly coalesced in his palm, forming a beautiful, slowly rotating nebula.

A jet of Flame as thick as a fist shot out from the nebula, incinerating the scattered stone fragments on the ground.

"A sufficiently high-level Meditation Technique can help a Beast Master profoundly strengthen their awakened Spiritual Energy, achieving incredible results."

"My current Spiritual Strength is only Tier One, but with the enhancement from long-term practice of my Meditation Technique, I can unleash destructive power approaching the Extraordinary Level. By the same token, if used to augment a Soul Beast, it can forcibly raise the combat power of an Awakened Level Soul Beast to the Extraordinary Level."

"But to get back on topic, every race, and even the different factions within them, possesses Spiritual Meditation Techniques with their own unique strengths. The advantage of the Void Spirit Meditation Technique lies in making your perception of Spiritual Energy more sensitive, which will help you draw Arrays."

"For the rest of our time, I will teach all of you an advanced Spiritual Meditation Technique exclusive to the Void Spirit Race, one that tempers the Spiritual Body with the savage power of raw elements—the Summoning Spirit Meditation Technique!"

’The Summoning Spirit Meditation Technique? I wonder how it compares to our Four Symbols Meditation Technique. Which one is more powerful?’

The thought had just crossed Han Ning’s mind when he saw Sage raise his finger and begin tapping in the empty air.

One special Spiritual Node after another materialized, hanging suspended in mid-air, gradually forming a structure that resembled a human face.

Whether it was the humans, who possessed the Four Symbols Meditation Technique, or the Dragon Blood People and Ah Yu, who could only practice Low-level Meditation Techniques, everyone stared wide-eyed, listening with rapt attention as Sage explained the cultivation method for the Void Spirit Meditation Technique.

"The free-floating Spiritual Energy we absorb has actually been repeatedly weakened and filtered by the power of the planes before scattering into the Main World as high-quality Spiritual Energy."

"The Summoning Spirit Meditation Technique, however, draws upon the first wisps of violent Spiritual Energy born from the Mysterious Space, beyond the many planes. It is raw, unrefined, and aggressive—the perfect energy for tempering one’s spirit."

"..."

"Now, I want everyone to close their eyes. Follow my spiritual guidance and quietly perceive."

Simultaneously, Sage released his spirit. His resilient, Profound Moon-quality Spiritual Power transformed into more than fifty spiritual threads that shot into each person’s mind.

"The Spiritual Meditation Technique you humans practice is not low-level, so you don’t need to learn the Summoning Spirit Meditation Technique from scratch. For now, just try to follow my lead and construct a preliminary model within your Spiritual World. Your own Spiritual Power will automatically absorb it later without any negative side effects..."

As Sage laid out the steps for cultivating the Meditation Technique,

an emotionless voice from the panel sounded in Han Ning’s mind:

[New Meditation Technique discovered. Auto-recording in progress. When your Spiritual Level reaches Tier Five, the Meditation Technique fusion module will be unlocked. Consume a certain amount of Energy to fuse Meditation Techniques.]

’They can be fused?!’ Han Ning was stunned.

Since he already had a primary Meditation Technique to focus on, Han Ning didn’t attempt to cultivate the Summoning Spirit Meditation Technique. After all, it was best not to bite off more than he could chew.

By the time Sage finished explaining the cultivation method, the classroom had already fallen completely silent.
