147: Chapter 147 Ten Schools League

Lin Fan shifted his gaze to Xiao Kun, who was still in mid-air.

[Species]: Twin-Winged Spirit Kun

[Rank]: Level 36

[Aptitude]: heaven spirit superior (Upper Limit: high-tier god spirit)

[Attribute]: Space

[Armorization Part]: Back

[Armor Skills]:

1. Void Blade Slash: Unleashes an arc-shaped slash formed by compressed space, with extremely strong cutting power.

2. Ten Thousand Void Rift World: Spreads its dual wings, tearing multiple layers of spatial rifts to form a spatial turbulence zone spanning tens of meters, continuously cutting and pulling enemies along its path.

3. Xuan-Kong Realm Shield: Deploys a barrier of distorted space, capable of deflecting and weakening incoming attacks. When charged, it can reflect a portion of the damage back to the attacker.

4. Instant Shadow Flash: Short-distance Spatial Jump, traceless and silent.

5. Kun Shadow Leap: Opens a temporary spatial gate, allowing itself and teammates to teleport over medium distances. Upon landing, it creates a small-range spatial tremor, repelling nearby enemies.

[Subsequent Evolution Path]: Void-Feather Spirit Kun (king spirit superior)

Rank Requirement: Level 47

Requires Devouring: void feather crystal core ×3, Spirit Kun Heart ×1, Void Dragon Bone ×2,

Evolution Condition: In a high-altitude area dense with spatial rifts, absorb the power of the Void Realm to complete the transformation from Spirit Kun to Void-Feather Spirit Kun.

Evaluation: The Twin-Winged Spirit Kun will further increase in size upon evolving into a Void-Feather Spirit Kun, with greatly enhanced spatial manipulation abilities, allowing it to freely switch forms in the air and underwater.

Compared to Xiao Zhuang and Tongtong, Xiao Kun's future development was much simpler.

With only one evolution path and a clear direction, there was no need to agonize over it.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Fan had entered the second semester of his third year of high school.

During this period, his life was as regular as clockwork.

Ever since he cured the Golden-Armored Earth Dragon, Zhao Guoliang had looked at him with new respect. Whenever the military encountered tricky Armor Spirit evolutions or medical issues, they would send someone to invite him.

Lin Fan accepted all requests. On one hand, he could earn substantial rewards and source energy points; on the other, it expanded a new Domain for his cultivation career.

However, since he Broke through to the Armor King Rank, his Cultivation speed had noticeably decreased, like a high-speed car suddenly hitting the brakes.

After this period of Cultivation, Lin Fan was now a Level 45 Armor King. Xiao Zhuang and Tongtong also reached Level 45, Little Rabbit was Level 41, and Xiao Kun was Level 40.

Although slow, it was a steady improvement.

...

This afternoon, Lin Fan was listening to Zhao Tieshan's lecture as usual.

He propped his chin, his eyes half-open, but his mind was calculating the evolution Materials for Xiao Zhuang and the others.

Their four evolution paths were all extraordinary, so collecting the required evolution Materials was extremely difficult.

After searching through various channels during this period, he had only collected more than half, still missing quite a bit.

"Class dismissed."

Just then, Zhao Tieshan's voice came from the podium, breaking his contemplation.

"Lin Fan, come with me."

Zhao Tieshan was expressionless.

"Come out with me."

He turned and walked out of the classroom. Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, then followed him.

In the corridor, Zhao Tieshan walked ahead.

Lin Fan jogged a couple of steps to catch up. "Teacher Zhao, what's the matter?"

Zhao Tieshan didn't answer, merely quickened his pace.

Lin Fan stopped asking.

The two walked through the teaching building, across the playground, and finally stopped in front of a gray and white building.

Lin Fan looked up at the door plaque—Principal's Office.

Zhao Tieshan knocked on the door. "Principal, I've brought the person."

The door opened from inside.

Zhao Tieshan stepped aside to let Lin Fan in, but did not follow him.

Lin Fan walked into the office and found four people already standing inside, all from Class One.

Ye Wushuang leaned by the window, still looking cold, and gave a slight nod when he saw Lin Fan enter.

Qian Duoduo stood by the bookshelf, a harmless smile on his chubby face, and winked at Lin Fan.

Liu Qing sat on the sofa, her dark green long hair draped over her shoulders, her eyes clear and cool.

Zhao Yuan stood in the corner, arms crossed, expressionless.

Lin Fan walked to Ye Wushuang's side, lowering his voice. "What's going on?"

Ye Wushuang shook his head. "I don't know."

The office was silent for a few seconds.

An old man stood up from behind the desk, his hair white, wearing an old-fashioned pair of glasses and a faded gray jacket.

Lin Fan had seen the Principal a few times, always at school assemblies, from a distance. In his impression, he was a stern old man.

His name seemed to be Li Fuze. His strength was unknown, but to be the head of a school, his strength would naturally not be weak.

The Principal took off his glasses, wiped the lenses with a cloth, put them back on, and his gaze swept over the five people.

"Everyone's here."

He paused. "I called you here for the Ten-School League."

Lin Fan was taken aback.

Ten-School League?

He hadn't heard of it.

The others also showed confused expressions.

The Principal took a map from a drawer and spread it on the table.

The map marked five major regions—Southeast, Northwest, and Central—each with different colored markers.

"This world is unified and managed by the Human Federation."

The Principal's voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

"The Federation divides the territory into five regions—East, South, West, North, and Central. The functions of each region differ. The East Region is responsible for Armor Beast cultivation and Materials production, the South Region for scientific research, the West Region for military and border defense, and the North Region for resources and energy extraction. The Central Region is the political and economic center of the Federation, and also the location of all Beast Armor Master universities."

He paused.

"You should know that the four regions of East, South, West, and North do not have Beast Armor Master universities. All those who wish to pursue further studies must go to the Central Region."

Lin Fan nodded.

The Dongchen University that Ye Qing was admitted to was in the Central Region.

"Dongyun City belongs to the East Region."

The Principal's finger traced a line on the map.

"In the East Region, there are ten second-tier cities. Each city has an Advanced Beast Armor Master High School. Our Dongyun City First High has always been in the lower-middle Ranks among these ten institutions."

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow; they were all familiar with these common facts.

Each region has varying numbers of cities, which are divided into first-tier, second-tier... fifth-tier cities based on their economy, scientific research, and the level of Armor Masters.

Dongyun City was one of these second-tier cities.

Qian Duoduo interjected.

"Principal, is this Ten-School League a ranking competition for these ten schools?"

The Principal nodded.

"It's held every ten years. Ten schools each send a team to compete for rankings. The higher the ranking, the more resources the Federation allocates, and the higher the enrollment intention of excellent students."

He took off his glasses and wiped them again.

"Dongyun City has now reached the level of a first-tier city in all aspects. Its economy, scientific research, and infrastructure development are no worse than those of first-tier cities. Only in Beast Armor Master education and research has it consistently lagged behind. If Dongyun City can achieve a top three ranking in this Ten-School League, then in the next city evaluation, Dongyun City has great hope of being designated a first-tier city."

He put his glasses back on, his gaze sweeping over the five people.

"Once designated a first-tier city, the resources allocated by the Federation and the influx of talent will undergo qualitative changes. Dongyun City's Beast Armor Master education will also usher in its true soaring development."
