(you may not notice or recognize some soul beasts from the story that's because I have to make some up that weren't sown in the story after all this is an entire world. Also I apologize if you get info dumped in this chapter Jack takes his role as a teacher very seriously so he may go into long-winded explanations to make sure his students understand all the information.)
I can only look at the documents the majority of the students they were soul power ranging from 2 to 5 four of them had blue silver grass as their Martial Souls. Two of them a pair of twins had sickles had as their Martial Souls. Then there were four with swords as their Martial Souls but they all arranged as elemental blades those elements were wind fire ice and lightning. Which were pretty good and had some good potential off the bat.
And they were actually two food type Martial Souls one of them a girl named Bing ja had a steamed dumpling. And the other was a girl name wro bi and she had a chicken leg as hers Martial Soul. I took a special note of these two as I looked at the remaining six besides the two outliners. And those five of those six just had basic beast type Martial Soul. A rhino, two wolves, a stone monkey and finally 1 Wing spider. The one with a relatively interesting beast type was last one of these six. Who's Martial Soul was a white armor wolf. I then looked at the two outliers. Who had seven and eight innate Soul power respectively.
The one with level 7 Soul power was a little girl name Kiana and she had a white Jade sword Martial Soul. It also States here in her file that her white Jade sword had the light attribute. The one with the level 8 Soul power was her older brother by the name of Xander and his Martial Soul is a Jade swan. The same species as one of the fierce beasts. So I know this Martial Soul had good potential.
I started rubbing my chin as I lean back as I deconstruct the vine platforms and return the vines to later pleases well floating in the air I flew over to my place aka the amphitheater as a chair out of vines and I sat down. I clearly wait for the students to return as I look over to see the teachers standing side by side wow also sorted into their groups for the respect of teaching. It was a few minutes later when the students all gather around where we were.
"Sue step forward"
She did exactly as she was told that she stood forward. I didn't spoke out to the students.
"Those of you who wish to be a attack system follow her and her assistant to their classroom"
I saw four students and Kiana along with Chichi and Bayle followed Sue to her classroom labeled attack system along with the assistant teacher. I finally look at the crowd before speaking again.
"Gon step forward and take those who wish to be a defense type with you"
I saw the children with the rhino the stone monkey the white armored wolf choose to follow gon. Then I looked at the twins May and Ray.
"All right you two will take those who want to be agility based Soul masters with you."
I saw the children with the two wolves and Wing spider chose to follow the twins as I looked at the remaining ones with blue silver grass the two girls wro bi and Bing ja. And finally Xander.
"The rest of you with me since I will currently be teaching plant-based Martial soul, body type Martial souls, and the support types Martial souls. And of course you too little ladies will be temporary students of mine since we have no food type Martial soul. Soul master to teach you the proper mindset as food type Soul Masters and of course my specialty as a control type"
Hearing cuz they all know their heads as I lead them to the amphitheater as each one takes a step on the stairs and sits down on them I began speaking well smiling. After all this is the feeling I love teaching and I'm already quite excited to get back in the groove of things.
"Alrighty my lovely students I will start off with the vast majority of students who are currently present most of you possessing the blue silver grass. You're Martial souls characteristics are strong life force and tenacity so I recommend for your path is choosing the round of enhancing your Martial souls. With soul rings belonging to beast with strong vitality and tenacity and of course if you choose to go the control route I can give you a number of options for your first Soul rings and consecutive ones after. Now I like to make some things clear if your soul ring provides you with an ability such as bind constrain or trap is considered a wasted slot of a soul ring. After all as you get more familiar with your Marshall Soul you will eventually learn to manipulate it to do such things thus choosing Soul rings with such abilities would be pointless. And for those of you who are thinking perhaps choosing a snake type Soul beast with venom would be an optimal choice even if it only gives you fine I'm sorry to burst your bubble... Because that is still wasted slot. After all he will not obtain a very powerful poison most likely something of the paralysitic nature which will work very rarely on opponents of higher standing or even of the same level very rarely will it come into play."
As I said this I remember particularly how Tang sans for soul skill bind was practically useless no matter how often he employed it as the first skill after all the paralyzing effect was relatively useless at the later stages of the story just like most first second and third Soul rings with some soul exceptions being the seven glaze Pagoda. After only had to fix Soul skills so it didn't matter which beast you got it from.
They also worked on pure percentile bonuses so the soul Master no matter what level would always prove beneficial. I soon shook my head and returned my gaze to the rest of the students.
"I would highly recommend focusing on the life attribute and your tenacity for your soul rings some Soul beasts such as the ghost line and the walking mushroom will be fine choices for soul rings simply because they have the potential of distributing the soul skills I'm about to describe to you."
I coughed a little warming up my throat because I was about to give a long ass speech and explanation.
"Let's start off with the ghost Vine of course it could very well give you the bind at 10 years old and cultivation but a hundred years it gives you a minor spore which one's sprouted will drain the target Soul power which only comes available after the hundred Year March of cultivation with it obviously getting stronger the higher up it is. At a thousand years of cultivation. You have a chance of obtaining and upgraded version of the Soul skill parasite called ghostly parasite. For those of you think it wouldn't be very powerful given it's just one more word tacked on you'll be mistaken."
I pause for a moment as I grab a cup of water to drink some to wet my throat before I continued.
"Go sleep parasite is different because it does not just the drain Soul power but also drains a small amount of mental energy. To a five to one ratio. An example being every five points of sole power drained it will drain one point of mental power. Do not underestimate the ability to drain mental power. Very few cultivate mental power and back to my nose there is no real technique currently spread widely across the continent that cultivates a mental power so you can only hope to increase it as you obtain more Soul rings. For those of you who do not know what's the benefit of mental power is is what allows you to survive the soul shock from a 10,000 year old soul ring."
As I said this I saw many of the students looked in all at this information then I continue to speak.
"Now I will move on to the walking mushroom a strange Soul beast that prefers dark environments and is most certainly a mushroom with legs and hands mostly harmless to most people when you catch one alone. But if you were to catch them in the group you will find that they will be surprisingly dangerous. Let's start off with soul skill you contain from a 10-year one. And that's so skill is spores which allows you to cause the spread of your Marshall Soul rapidly with the smallest acting as seed containers. Along you much greater area of control. Next we move on to the hundred Year of cultivation. I'm walking mushroom will start taking on unique appearances amongst its kind each one will have a pattern and lines on their body and spots on their head being unique to each individual you will never find to the same walking mushroom with the same pattern that may be similarities but never the exact same. You will then receive a soul skill from this that is 'decay spread.' that's the name suggest it does something similar to the previous mention social you could retain from a 10-year walking mushroom but this decay spread allows you to rapidly cause decay and the plant life around you to draw energy from the environment allowing you and your allies to recover made battle at a very slow rate basically non-existent in terms of presence but every little bit does help in battle. Though it does come with a stimpian that you have to remain grounded to the ground for it to maintain its effect. Now we move to the thousand Years of cultivation the walking mushroom at this point will grow to about the size of an average adult and you will notice it stops moving around nearly as much as before with previous cultivation milestones."
I once again drank some water from my cup because explaining all this was seriously drying out my throat. I didn't turn my attention back to all of them and began speaking.
"Once it reaches a thousand years of cultivation it's legs will start developing root like gross on its feet that will start binding them to one location you also find the previous milestones of cultivation lurking around the specimen since after all they are weak individually but strong together. The soul skill you receive from this walking mushroom is a rather unique one amongst low-level Soul beasts. And that is century share or better known by some hive mind. It will allow the user of the Soul skill and their allies to communicate practically seamlessly. However most do not choose to get the social skill purely because of its strain on mental power after all the user will have to expend mental power to keep the hive mind active we'll also having to spend some attention on making sure they're not taken out after all anyone who chose this is obviously taking the route of a support type."
After hearing all my words everyone nodded their heads I then turn my attention towro bi and Bing ja. And finally Xander.
"Let's start off with you too lovely young ladies you are food types martial souls. What you should be focusing on is to find the best effects that you could obtain from a soul ring just examples being the the red crest Phoenix snake. Which if you were to exorb it at the hundred year mark will grant you a skill that lets your food Grant a temporary flying based ability. I do not know too much but this is the type of effects you should be looking for what could be the best help to your friends and allies. So I'm sorry I don't have a particular notice on what particularly powerful low level sobeast could be used to help you progress smoothly so I'll have to veto that later until I research more soul beasts. Define those with properly and beneficial effects. Now to you young man."
I turn my gaze onto Xander. As I gave him a gentle smile and began to speak after taking a quick sip of water.
"Your martial soul is the Jade swan a particular creature known in the soul beast Kingdom as the combat medic. When you find this obese you will always find it accompanied by several others guarding it because they understand that that swan could keep them alive for a bit longer or save their life and a difficult situation. You will obviously take the support route as a healer and perhaps even a minor attack role as well but I would recommend focusing on the healer aspect since that's what their best at. As well as I've never come across the Jade swan as a martial soul. So I do not know if it has fixed Soul skills or not similar to the nine hearts begonia. But we'll find out later in time but obviously for your soul rings we should prioritize bird like soul beasts. Precisely those with Phoenix bloodline after all the Phoenix is the highest level of the avian soul beast. As well as we could in theory is over some soul beast who have energy base skills from the plant type category such as the sunbathing flower. Which stores solar energy to Aiden is cultivation as well as we could go after it's lunar counterpart the lunar lotus. Which does the same thing just with lunar type energy. Which should provide beneficial Soul skills to allow you greater healing capabilities with larger energy reserves and most likely will aid in your cultivation speed since you could use lunar or solar energy along while you cultivate Soul power to increase your speed of cultivation."
Rubbing my throat as I drink the last bit of water in my cup I smiled at all my students with a loving smile.
"Now begin to meditate and cultivate Soul power but bi sway I will talk to you, Chichi and Bayle. Begin preparation of hunting your first soul ring sometime in the future."
