After beating down her students' arrogance, Instructor Mei Lan continued her lesson: "The power structures of Central Continent are extremely complicated. There are so many high-level resources there, but it also means that it would create many more conflicts of interest even between each of the three races."
"Even our Fox Race is not an exception. In Central Continent, Fox Race is split into two different factions called Qing Qiu Fox Tribe and Tu Shan Fox Tribe." Instructor Mei Lan told her three students another shocking truth.
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply and asked with a puzzled tone: "Our Fox Race divided into two different factions in Central Continent? But... Why?"
Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao also stared at Instructor Mei Lan with eyes filled with curiosity.
Instructor Mei Lan smiled at them and answered: "Because the two factions have different opinions on what they should focus on."
"Tu Shan Tribe wants to nurture genius foxes with the highest talent, potential, and growth speed, while Qing Qiu Tribe wants to focus on bloodline purity and the power of the bloodline. Two factions develop on two completely different paths." Instructor Mei Lan explained to clear their confusion.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao only got more confused instead by Instructor Mei Lan's explanation.
No... They could understand Tu Shan Tribe's intent, but they still did not understand what Qing Qiu Tribe wants from their bloodline.
Instructor Mei Lan immediately understood their expression and added even more details: "It was said that the inheritance from our bloodline was unlimited. If we can unearth even a bit of it, we can awaken extremely powerful abilities."
Instructor Mei Lan knew that her three students were still bewildered, so she told them an example: "You three should have already known the power of [Battle Style] awaken from each of your bloodlines, right?"
Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao nodded in unison.
"[Battle Style] hidden in our bloodline itself is already quite powerful and almost as strong as Divine Ability. But other than [Battle Style], there is actually one more type of powerful ability that every beast can awaken from their bloodline. This powerful ability was said to even surpa.s.s the power of Divine Ability." Instructor Mei Lan whispered to them as if she told them secret information.
Tang Li Xue, Bing Yi, and Hei Yinghao became even more curious, so they leaned forward to Instructor Mei Lan and asked: "What kind of ability is that?"
Instructor Mei Lan chuckled and muttered to them slowly: "It is the mysterious but extremely powerful ability hidden in the high purity bloodline inherited from our ancestor called... [Regalia]!"
"Re... Regalia?" Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao uttered with amazement.
Tang Li Xue blinked her topaz blue eyes and dumbfoundedly thought: 'Err... wait a minute... Why does it sound so familiar?' Puuuufff~! Isn't that talking about my [Regalia of Eclipse]?!'
Instructor Mei Lan's expression turned serious as she revealed another truth:
"Because Qing Qiu Tribe was aiming to awaken the power of [Regalia], they wanted to separate the foxes with high bloodline purity as the royal fox family and the ordinary gra.s.sroots foxes with low bloodline purity."
"The high bloodline purity foxes could only marry among themselves, and they would receive many high-level resources or above to nurture their strength."
d|
"Of course, many gra.s.sroots foxes with low bloodline purity were not convinced by this, since some gra.s.sroots foxes actually have extremely high potential and a powerful set of Divine Abilities. Why did they need to bow their heads to the work for the royal fox family?!""Thus, they separated themselves from Qing Qiu Fox Tribe and created Tu Shan Fox Tribe."
Instructor Mei Lan ended her story and took another sip of her tea.
The eyes of Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao were glittering like stars as they asked impatiently: "Instructor Lan, can we also awaken the power of [Regalia]?"
Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes and replied with a harsh tone: "Stop daydreaming~! it is impossible for outsider foxes with a mixed bloodline like us to awaken [Regalia]!"
"[Regalia] is the powerful ability inherited from their ancestor. Do you think your ancestor is a Nine-Tailed Sky Fox or something? Will such a G.o.dlike beast even want to live in this kind of remote place like our Lightwind Continent where the spiritual energy is so thin?!" Instructor Mei Lan sneered at them.
Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched violently and silently thought: 'I am sorry everyone. There is one fox over here that already awaken [Regalia]...'
When Instructor Mei Lan stared at the silent Tang Li Xue, Tang Li Xue quickly averted her eyes.
Instructor Mei Lan has such a scary mindreading skill, even Tang Li Xue was very afraid that Instructor Mei Lan could really read her mind right now.
But Tang Li Xue did not know that Instructor Mei Lan had already guessed some clues from her strange behavior.
'This Little Xue is really... sigh... She has human cultivation, can summon out martial soul, have many powerful divine abilities while only in the Demonic Beast grade, and so on... Don't tell me she also has Regalia too?! I am really curious now. Little Xue, where are you obtaining all of those from?' Instructor Mei Lan asked in her heart curiously.
But no matter how smart Instructor Mei Lan was, she could never guess that Tang Li Xue actually got all of those from her system.
"So, you three must remember! If you someday go to Central Continent, you can only join Tu Shan Fox Tribe. Only Tu Shan Fox Tribe might appreciate your talent and potential, then give you some chances to prove yourselves. If you join Qing Qiu Fox Tribe, you will only become slaves for that royal foxes family." Instructor Mei Lan gave a stern warning to her three students.
"Of course, if you successfully awaken [Regalia] someday, you can join Qing Qiu Fox Tribe and become a true member of the royal fox family. You can certainly receive much more high-level resources or above easily." Instructor Mei Lan added while staring at Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue guiltily lowered her head and did not say anything.
"All right, That is it for today! The cla.s.s is over now!" Instructor Mei Lan declared while standing up from the teacher's seat.
"Thank you for the lesson, Instructor Lan!" Both Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao said politely to Instructor Mei Lan.
However, Tang Li Xue still frowned and thought deeply, so she did not say anything.
'Instructor Lan, Bing Yi, Hei Yinghao, and the others might join Tu Shan Fox Tribe in the future... But what about me?' Tang Li Xue pondered carefully.
Like Instructor and the other two, Tang Li Xue naturally wanted to join Tu Shan Fox Tribe too along with them, but her hunch said she will certainly have a conflict with Qing Qiu Fox Tribe if she really did that.
Qing Qiu Fox Tribe valued [Regalia] power very much. They wanted to maintain the high-purity bloodline, which was why they only allow high-purity bloodline foxes to marry among themselves.
If Qing Qiu Fox Tribe knew that she had awakened [Regalia] power, how could they let her mix with gra.s.sroots foxes in Tu Shan Fox Tribe?!
'Sigh... My head is hurt... Whatever~!!! That is the problem in the future, so let's just leave it for the future me to solve it! Good luck and please be strong, future me~!' Tang Li Xue decided to do her usual thing, since she could not solve the problem now, then just forget it and do what she could do now.
Even though Tang Li Xue thought so, she still wanted to prepare herself earlier, and the first thing she must do was to look for more information.
Tang Li Xue approached Instructor Mei Lan before she could walk out the cla.s.sroom's door and asked: "Instructor Lan~! Can you tell me more details about those two fox tribes in Central Continent? I am really curious about them!"
Instructor Mei Lan stared intensely at Tang Li Xue for a few moments until Tang Li Xue could not hold on anymore and averted Instructor Mei Lan's gaze.
Then Instructor Mei Lan smiled gently as usual and took out a book with a blue cover from her s.p.a.ce pouch and gave it to Tang Li Xue while saying: "This is the book containing the more detailed information about those two fox tribes."
"Usually, this book would only be given to the foxes who wish to go to Central Continent to seek higher evolution opportunities. Now, I will lend it to you first." Instructor Mei Lan made it clear to Tang Li Xue, and it means Tang Li Xue should never disclose the information about the two fox tribes n this book to other foxes without permission.
But Tang Li Xue was very shocked instead and asked with an anxious tone: "Instructor Lan... Since you have this book, does it mean you plan to go to Central Continent soon to seek evolution opportunities?"
Instructor Mei Lan smiled more tenderly when she saw Tang Li Xue's anxious look.
She patted Tang Li Xue's head and said with a rea.s.suring tone: "Not yet... At least, I will keep teaching you three until the three of you become more mature and can take good care of yourselves."
Tang Li Xue became even sadder when she heard Instructor Mei Lan's answer since it means the three of them would probably become Instructor Mei Lan's last students in this Lightwind Continent.
Even the mood of Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao became gloomy when they heard the conversation between Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue from behind.
