Chapter 90

Duba approached Tang San and said, "Xiao Tang, when are you going to show us your Wind God Slash again? Everyone is very curious about how you compress the elements."

Tang San was taken aback. "Wind God Slash? What’s that?"

Duba explained, "It’s the compressed wind blade you used yesterday! It was so powerful that everyone gave it a name—Wind God Slash. How cool is that?"

Tang San couldn’t help but laugh and said helplessly, "Yesterday, it was because Senior Brother let me go easy."

"No, I didn’t let you at all. It’s more likely that you held back," a hearty laugh came from the doorway as Wu Bingji pushed the door open. He had clearly overheard the conversation between Tang San and Duba.

At that moment, his eyes were bright and full of joy, and his aura seemed to have significantly improved.

He came over and sat next to Tang San, giving him a thumbs up. "Your words yesterday really enlightened me. Last night’s practice was very effective. I think I might have found my own path. The teachers said that to advance to higher levels in the future, we need to find our own way. Only then can we reach higher levels. Thank you, Xiao Tang. I owe you one. If there’s a chance, I’ll find a wind-type spirit herb for you."

At this time, almost all the students were having breakfast in the canteen. Wu Bingji didn’t hide anything when he said this. The students were immediately surprised.

One of them couldn’t help but ask, "Senior Brother, what did you discuss with Xiao Tang yesterday?"

Wu Bingji smiled and said, "It was about element control. Xiao Tang gave me a lot of inspiration. His research on elements is far beyond mine."

"Senior Brother is too modest," Tang San said helplessly. He could clearly feel that the other seniors were looking at him differently.

Wu Bingji winked at him and nodded toward the door.

Tang San’s heart stirred, and he understood immediately.

It must be that Wu Bingji’s cultivation had improved, and the teacher had noticed. Then he reported their conversation from yesterday to the teacher? And the teacher asked him to say this in the canteen? Could it be to make everyone come to him for guidance?

Sure enough, Gu Li, who was sitting across from him and was also somewhat slim, couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Tang, do you have any understanding of the time element?"

Tang San’s lips twitched. Of course, he did. After reaching the divine level, everyone would be interested in time and space, and he was no exception. Moreover, he had a deep understanding of this area. In his previous life, his son and grandson had very powerful abilities in time control.

However, he couldn’t say that now! If he admitted to understanding the time element, the teachers would likely dissect him for study.

Tang San shook his head and said, "The mysteries of time are beyond my understanding. I still need to learn from the seniors."

Gu Li looked a bit disappointed and said, "I don’t really understand it myself; I can only use it simply."

From a nearby seat, his opponent from yesterday, Zhang Zebin, said, "Enough, stop understanding. If you understand it so deeply, will you still give us a chance to live?"

Everyone burst into laughter. His ability to freeze time was indeed a powerful control skill that everyone found difficult to deal with in practical combat.

As the discussion began, the atmosphere in the canteen became noticeably lively. People kept asking Tang San questions, and he answered them in a proper manner. The topics of discussion became more diverse, and breakfast was a lively affair. Tang San could clearly feel that he was starting to be accepted by the group. Among them, Senior Brother Wu Bingji played the biggest role. His friendliness toward Tang San naturally increased the others' good impression of him.

The class bell rang.

This morning wasn’t a physical training class; it seemed to be a recovery period from yesterday’s exertion. This morning was a theory class, held in the largest room in the north building. All students had to attend. The lecturer was Guan Longjiang.

Tang San followed the others to the large room, which served as a classroom, and found a chair to sit in a corner. Duba naturally sat next to him.

The others also sat down. At this moment, Guan Longjiang was writing something on a board embedded in the wall.

"Teacher Guan, everyone is here," Wu Bingji reported.

"Alright, let’s start the class," Guan Longjiang turned around, his gaze sweeping over the students and pausing noticeably on Tang San.

"Today, we will review the hierarchical divisions of the demon race. We’ve covered this before, but since Tang San is new, he isn’t familiar with it. And you’ve probably forgotten most of it. So, I’ll spend some time going over it again."

The hierarchical divisions of the demon race? Tang San was overjoyed. This was one of the things he most wanted to learn. He knew nothing about the higher levels of the demon race. Wang Yanfeng had only taught them the basics, as he himself didn’t know much about the higher levels of the demon race.

Guan Longjiang said, "Generally, the demon race divides bloodline levels into five major tiers. The situation with the spirit race is similar. Different bloodline levels determine the different ranks within the demon and spirit races. In both the demon and spirit races, bloodline is supreme. A powerful bloodline represents powerful strength and potential."

"We, as human vassals, do not belong to these five tiers. The five tiers mentioned here only apply to the demon race itself. No matter how high the bloodline level of a vassal is, it remains a vassal. We can only have a slightly higher status if our bloodline and strength are strong. But overall, we are still vassals. Therefore, the hierarchical divisions of the demon race that I will discuss are not applicable to you, as they have no practical significance."

"The fifth tier of the demon race refers to those relatively weak and not very skilled in combat. It also includes some vassal races of the demon race, such as pig demons, which fall into this category. The most significant characteristic of this tier is the lack of further subdivision. For example, all pig demons are just pig demons, without being divided into black pig demons or white pig demons. Because they are weak, they only have a general name. Combat-capable porcupines do not belong to this category; they are classified separately. The fifth tier of the demon race generally has some combat ability, but they are usually not more than third-tier at birth. Their potential for future growth is also very limited, making them the lowest tier of the demon race."

"The fourth tier of the demon race, starting from this tier, can be considered true demons. They are almost all skilled in combat, and they are at least second-tier at birth, but generally not more than fifth-tier. The top-tier fourth-tier demons are not much different from third-tier demons at birth, but their growth potential is somewhat different. This tier has the largest number of demons. Most of the mid-level demon races belong to this tier. Their most significant characteristic is that it is very difficult for them to break through to the ninth tier and reach the higher divine level."

The fourth tier can possibly reach the ninth tier? Hearing this, Tang San’s understanding was refreshed.

"And the third tier is a whole new world. The third-tier demons are at least third-tier at birth, but generally not more than eighth-tier. This tier can be considered the backbone of the demon race. Some strong races belong to this tier, such as the royal and powerful branches of lions, tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, and dragons. The weaker branches belong to the fourth tier. For example, wind wolves belong to the fourth tier. The current top wolf demon is the Golden Wolf King. At the third tier, there is a possibility of becoming a divine-level demon, which is the tenth tier, and even breaking through to the eleventh tier is possible. However, it is very difficult for third-tier demons to reach the highest level of the Ancestor Demon, which is the legendary twelfth-tier demon."
