Chapter 13: Summoning
Although the four members of the Wang Clan Gang are not newcomers, they have only been in Zhenhun Street for a short time. The hell is not very high, just a few feet high.
Li Ye thought about it and decided that if they came to cause trouble for him, he would drag them to the fighting arena and have a fair fight with them so that they would be convinced.
After a while, the four of them prepared to go to class.
This class is Mr. Yan’s class, the summoning class.
A course dedicated to the art of summoning.
Summoning is the most basic and most important means for spirit possessors.
On the way to the classroom, Li Ye asked Fang Shuwen about Teacher Yan's situation.
Fang Shuwen told him that today's spirit-hosting people can be divided into two categories based on their origins:
The first category is the spirit-hosting people from the underworld, who were born and raised in the underworld.
The second category is spirit hosts who are born in the human world.
Some of today’s spirit-hosting people belong only to the underworld and only operate in the underworld;
Some of them travel between the human world and the underworld, and have dual identities, active in both underworld forces and human forces;
There is also a part that belongs only to the human world and does not participate in the disputes in the underworld.
Teacher Yan was born into a thousand-year-old family in the world. The Yan family is the descendant of Yan Hui, the "Resurrected Sage".
It has been passed down for more than two thousand years, with a long history, profound heritage and rich history.
Teacher Yan is the most outstanding person of this generation in the Yan family, with an S-level immortal martial spirit as his guardian spirit, “Resurrected Saint” Yan Hui.
"Fuck, this is awesome!"
“It’s shocking, but it’s true.”
Teacher Yan is a spirit host with a dual identity. He is the most outstanding descendant of the Yan family and also the instructor of Dead Soul Island.
"The reason why Teacher Yan came back to Dead Soul Island as an instructor was mainly because of the family tradition of the Shuxiang family and her own love for education. After all, they all awakened Yan Hui."
"Also, Teacher Yan is kind-hearted. She knows that most of the people on Dead Soul Island are orphans and are very talented. She is afraid that we will go astray."
"Also, Teacher Yan is from an orthodox family in the human world, and his background is clean, so the Spirit Master has nothing to worry about. Moreover, they all know that Teacher Yan is indeed good at education, after all, he has Yan Hui as his guardian spirit."
Along the way, Fang Shuwen told everyone he knew.
When they arrived at the classroom, Teacher Yan had also arrived. They greeted her and then entered the classroom.
Li Ye sat directly in the middle of the first row. Gao Chong, Yang Tianyu and Fang Shuwen hesitated for a moment and then sat next to Li Ye.
Seeing the group of four sitting in the front row, a hint of surprise flashed in Teacher Yan's star-like eyes.
“It’s really not that simple.”
Then, without further thought, the class began.
"Students, today we are going to talk about how to quickly summon guardian spirits."
"As we all know, summoning is the most basic method for spirit-hosting people."
"When we first started to master the art of summoning, we needed to go through a complicated summoning ritual. The lead-up is too long. In battle, the opponent will not give us the opportunity to perform the ritual, and we will most likely fail to summon a guardian spirit."
"So, we need to shorten this process, know that we can cast it instantly, or even skip this process, so that our spirit follows our heart. With just a thought, we can summon a guardian spirit."
"Next, let's talk about how to shorten this process."
"One of the keys is to improve your rapport and connection with your guardian spirit. The closer your connection with the guardian spirit is, the higher your rapport is, and the faster you can summon it."
"Another key is to improve your proficiency in summoning. The more proficient you are, the faster the ritual will be. Just like the magic in Western stories, the more proficient you are in magic, the shorter the chanting time will be."
Teacher Yan spoke passionately on the stage about how to speed up the summoning of guardian spirits. Her usual calm and elegant appearance was no longer there.
"He really is someone who loves teaching. When he teaches, he forgets everything else and devotes himself to it."
Li Ye was also listening carefully, trying to understand and digest what Teacher Yan said.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t summoned Li Cunxiao much since I got him.” Li Cunxiao was originally the guardian spirit of Li Ye’s father. After his father died and returned to the Seven Star Dragon Spring, he entered the inner space of the Seven Star Dragon Spring and obtained the inheritance of Tianshu Star. Li Cunxiao became his guardian spirit.
Time passed quickly and the course soon came to an end.
"After you go down, you should practice more and become as proficient as you can. Okay, get out of class is over." After Teacher Yan finished speaking, he announced the end of get out of class.
"Also, the next class is a summoning training class. Go to the summoning field for the class." She gave another instruction and then left.
"Can you cast summoning spells instantly?" Li Ye asked Gao Chong and the other three curiously.
The three of them shook their heads.
"We are just the beginner class of the genius class. We all came to Dead Soul Island in the past year. Although we came earlier than you, it wasn't much earlier."
Students in the genius class of Dead Soul Island usually stay for about three years.
There is one level per year, the first year is the beginner class, the second year is the intermediate class, and the third year is the advanced class.
"Well, it's okay then."
"Let's go to the summoning field."
The four of them walked out of the classroom and headed towards the summoning field.
……
The summoning field is a huge circular building, dozens of meters high and black in color. From a distance, it looks like a giant black beast crawling on the ground.
Enter the summoning field, which has many platforms.
"That's the summoning platform, one of the few places on Dead Soul Island that doesn't have a soul-suppressing stone. Guardian spirits can be summoned from it without being suppressed." Gao Chong pointed at those platforms and explained to me.
After a while, Teacher Yan also came to the summoning field.
The whole class gathered, Teacher Yan gave a few instructions, and then asked everyone to find a place to practice.
Li Ye chose the summoning stand in the middle, which was also the largest one in the venue.
Stepping onto the summoning platform, Li Ye suddenly felt that the shackles were no longer there, and the communication between him and Li Cunxiao was no longer obscure, but emotionally abnormal.
Li Ye silently recited the summoning spell, and then a demon-like figure appeared behind me, eight feet tall, holding a magical weapon in each hand.
Li Cunxiao was extremely oppressive, causing many people present to feel palpitations.
At the same time, Gao Chong and Yang Tianyu next to them felt full of fighting spirit and eager to fight. Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing noticed Li Cunxiao and were eager to try, as if they wanted to compete with Li Cunxiao.
Gao Chong performed a summoning spell, and soon, a burly figure appeared behind him. He was six feet tall, wearing maroon armor, holding a gold-engraved tiger-head spear, his eyes were red, and he exuded a murderous aura.
Yang Tianyu also cast a summoning spell, and a tall and straight figure appeared behind him. He was also six feet tall, wearing silver-white armor, with two Yang-character flags on his back, and holding a purple flame silver spear. Just one person made people feel as if they were in a sea of blood and corpses.
The two peerless warriors smiled at each other, as if they had met again after a long separation, and then they all cast their eyes towards Li Cunxiao on the summoning platform in the center, their eyes burning as if they had seen a peerless beauty.
"Haha, General Feihu, there are two peerless warriors watching you." Li Ye noticed the two generals' fiery gazes and said to Li Cunxiao.
"My lord, these two generals are very strong, but I am even stronger! If I have the chance, I must have a good fight with them." Li Cunxiao answered in a muffled voice.
Then, Li Cunxiao clasped his fists towards the two generals and said, "Gentlemen, if there is a chance, I will fight you in a good fight."
Then, the figure gradually dissipated and returned to Li Ye's body again.
Li Ye discovered that he and Li Cunxiao had an extremely high level of tacit understanding. It could be said that they were able to follow each other's orders as easily as with an arm, and their minds were connected, almost reaching the point of unity of mind.
"Could it be because of the Seven Star Dragon Spring?"
He thought so because Li Cunxiao became his guardian spirit after he was baptized by the Yaoguang Star in the Seven Star Dragon Spring.
Li Ye was very surprised. Does that mean that every guardian spirit in the future will have a full degree of tacit understanding at the beginning?
Although he was happy, Li Ye continued to practice summoning techniques to improve his proficiency in the technique.
Only when you have achieved the highest level of tacit understanding with the guardian spirit and the highest level of proficiency in summoning can you summon the guardian spirit instantly.
Li Ye practiced continuously until the end of the get out of class. His proficiency in summoning had improved a lot. Although he was still a long way from being able to cast summons instantly, there was still a long way to go and persistence was the key to victory.
