Chapter 279 - 279 : Drawing the First God Examination Training Location: Sea God Island

"To become a God, first, you must understand."

"What is a God? What defines a God?"

Below the podium, Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, Shui Yueer, Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, and several other Disciples sat upright, not expecting their teacher's first question to make them slightly stunned.

"Reporting, a God is a legend, a myth, a supreme and inviolable existence!"

"A God is the limit for Spirit Masters, and an insurmountable existence at the end of a Spirit Master's Cultivation. With a single thought, they can decide the life and death of all Spirit Masters."

Shui Yueer and Shui Bing'er successively raised their hands to answer.

Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran also agreed deeply. Although they had not directly experienced the power of a God, legends about Gods were not uncommon. Some places even developed festivals and activities for the worship of Divinities, so their impression of a God was one of reverence, respect, mystery, and sanctity!

"No, a God is not supreme. A God is also a human, just like you, a living, breathing human."

Su Ran's words made Shui Bing'er and the others tremble, making them feel incredibly unbelievable.

"Teacher, how can a God be human… It is said that a God's lifespan can be as long as that of a Spirit Beast…"

"I once heard my grandfather say that a God can even easily create Titled Douluo powerhouses. That is simply beyond human capability."

Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran also couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"That's right, a God can cause Spirit Masters to undergo a transformation and even achieve longevity."

"But you must understand that many Divinities also Break Through from humans, but what exactly is this limit?"

"For Spirit Masters in their teens, Spirit Douluo and Titled Douluo are also insurmountable existences for them, inviolable, with long lifespans. The resources they might casually bestow could change their life trajectory, but aren't Titled Douluo human?"

"If you develop an unattainable mindset towards a Realm, an existence, and cannot overcome this mindset, then you will never be able to surpass it."

"What truly makes Divinities powerful is order. They coexist with order, utilizing the power of order, the order of ice, or the order of water. When your understanding and control of this power of order reach the extreme, surpass the extreme, then you are also a God."

Su Ran stood on the podium, spiritedly explaining the power of a God.

The Disciples in the classroom didn't know if what their teacher said was right or wrong, because it was inherently beyond their comprehension. If the Spirit Master knowledge they had learned before was merely complex, at least they could understand it. But now, even understanding was difficult; their minds were completely muddled. What is order? What is longevity?

It was like middle school students mistakenly entering a high school physics class, too mind-boggling.

Seeing the bewildered expressions on the students' faces, Su Ran sighed inwardly. As expected, teaching these girls now was still too early. They hadn't even witnessed the power of a God and had little understanding of Gods, so how could they comprehend the composition and essence of a God?

"It seems that teaching still cannot be separated from the God Examination. That is the fastest way for the girls to approach Divinities."

Su Ran thought to himself. Understanding this, Su Ran's mind conjured the known Divinity Legacy locations on the Douluo Continent:

[Slaughter City, Asura God Legacy ruins, fallen under the 'demonic grasp' control of Peach Garden Academy.]

[Far North, ancient Ice God descendants exist, Ice God ruins hidden deep within the core.]

[Nine Colored Goddess Legacy location, ruins situated within the Nine-Colored Flower Valley.]

[Rakshasa God Position, a chosen Legacy recipient already exists.]

[Western Sea, Sea God Island, Sea God Legacy ruins growing…]

[The System detects that the Academy's God Bestowal Plan is underway. Within the next five years, leading Disciples to pass the God Examination will double the rewards feedback to the host and grant additional System rewards.]

[Please select the Disciple's first God Examination location: 1. Nine-Colored Flower Valley. 2. Far North. 3. Sea God Island.]

It was at this moment that the System's voice suddenly echoed in Su Ran's mind, giving him a choice.

Su Ran did not hesitate and directly chose the third option, Sea God Island.

The Nine Colored Goddess of Nine-Colored Flower Valley was too low-tier. Although she was a God, the God Examination for a sub-support system was too ineffective.

And the Far North, located in the cold, with raging blizzards, no one had ventured deep into it, nor was it the first choice.

Sea God Island had previously clashed with Spirit Hall, and its specific location could be scouted. Although the dangers hidden in the vast ocean were no less than those in the Far North, there were also places to rest in the ocean.

[Sea God Island selected.]

[Please lead your Disciples to the assessment within one year.]

[Reward to host: All spirit ring and Spirit Bone years increased by 10%, Water-type Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone * 2, Top-grade Ocean Fishing Rod * 1.]

As Su Ran made his choice, the System distributed the rewards.

What made Su Ran laugh and cry was that the System even gave him a fishing rod.

Was it worried he would be too bored drifting on the ocean and needed something for fishing and leisure?

Having chosen the first God Examination location for his Disciples' trial, Su Ran slowly came back to his senses and said to the Disciples below the stage:

"Alright, that concludes today's lesson. Perhaps the knowledge about Divinities is still difficult for you to grasp. It would be more appropriate to discuss it when you reach the Spirit Douluo Realm or Titled Douluo Realm."

"To help you better understand Divinities, and to allow your strength to catch up with Rongrong and Zhuqing, I will lead you to the Western Sea for training in half a year."

"I hope that during these six months, you can actively learn ocean survival knowledge and thoroughly integrate the boxing techniques and Cultivation Techniques you have learned. This will determine how far you can go in this training, and it also pertains to your assessment score from me, understand?"

"Training in the Western Sea?"

"Good! I understand! I will definitely work hard to Break Through to level fifty and hunt for my fifth spirit ring along the way!"

"Hmm, Yue'er, I am very happy that you have this resolve."

Su Ran smiled faintly:

"Additionally, Yanzi, Bing'er, Meng Yiran, you must also put in more effort to Break Through to level sixty during this period. If you encounter suitable Spirit Beasts, you can also absorb them as spirit rings."

Dugu Yan was somewhat surprised: "Teacher, my ultimate path is poison. Are Water-type Spirit Beasts in the ocean also compatible with me? Doesn't this go against the spirit ring and Spirit Bone compatibility theory?"

"I'm pleased you adhere to the spirit ring and Spirit Bone compatibility theory, but you certainly haven't diligently studied Water-type and Ocean-type Spirit Beast knowledge. Who told you that Spirit Beasts in the ocean are only suitable for Water-type Spirit Masters?"

Su Ran said, teaching as he tidied up his textbooks.

Shui Bing'er spoke at this moment: "Senior Sister Yan, Teacher is not mistaken. In fact, there are also Poison-type Spirit Beasts in the ocean, and their toxicity is no less than that of land Spirit Beasts."

Dugu Yan felt a bit ashamed: "Alright, Teacher, I have been negligent in studying ocean-related Spirit Beast knowledge. I will definitely make up for it now."

Their spirit ring hunts were either in the Sunset Forest or the Star Dou Great Forest; their understanding of the ocean was indeed not extensive.
