Irene left the room, still angry at her son's actions.

When Jin saw his mother leaving, he turned to the unwanted guest and asked him. "What do you want now?"

Du Bai couldn't explain why he came to visit Jin because of the conversation between him and his mother, but now that the situation had calmed down, he started to explain why he had come here.

“There are many academies in our continent, but there are only three academies worthy of the name of the dragon, and the success rate in their exam does not exceed twenty percent. So I want to know about your plans for passing the academy exam, how you will raise your level in such a short period, and have you got the hermit herb yet?” Du Bai asked Jin curiously.

Joining the first-class academy is not easy. Even people who have reached the soul realm have a small chance of passing the test. As for Jin, he was still in the middle of the evolution realm and still far from the soul realm, so he wanted to know about the plan that made Jin confident of himself to join the academy and bet against the young noble.

Jin thought about Du Bai's question regarding increasing his level, but it was not that difficult for Jin. He got some money from Monroe's safe and could buy some growth pills to increase his level. Du Bai had missed an important thing, Jin decided to take the magician's exam. The magician's exam is different from the warriors' exam. However, a question popped up in Jin's mind when he heard Du Bai's last word.

"What is the Hermit herb?" Jin asked curiously.

“The Hermit herb is the best way to gather your energy and reveal your spirit form in front the mirror of the— Wait, don’t you know what the hermit herb is?” Du Bai looked at Jin in shock as he yelled.

Jin nodded his head, causing Du Bai to start screaming again.

“How can someone who wants to take the entrance exam not know about the hermit herb?” Du Bai asked, looking at Jin suspiciously but continuing to explain the benefits of the herb.

“Access the spirit form is the most important condition for success, and as a person still in the evolution realm, you must use the Hermit Herb and stand in front of the spirits mirror to determine the type of spirit form you possess and your qi strength, also you need it to measure the strength of your mana, and since the exam is near, It will be hard to find one now."

He stopped for a moment, then he took a deep breath and continued.

"In the last level of the evolving realm and before the warrior reaches the soul realm, he can find out the spirit form he possesses through meditation. However, in the exams, the spirit form is revealed by using the spirits mirror. The participant pours his powers into the mirror to show the properties and strength of the spirit he possesses. This method consumes a lot of energy, so you must eat the hermit herb before using it."

Du Bai was a talkative young man by nature, and since Jin did not recognize the Hermit Herb, he assumed it was the same with the rest of the things, so he continued to speak nonstop.

"The spirit form is classified according to the shape it takes, and it is classified into four.

The first is the fighter's form, it takes the form of beings that looks like humans, while the second is the beast's form, taking the form of demonic beasts. The owners of these forms are distinguished by their strong bodies and high internal energy.

The third is the weapon's form, the most widespread. The owners of this spirit form choose combat skills according to the type of weapon on which their spirit form is formed.

As for the fourth, they are spirit forms that come in different types, usually in support or defense. In the worst cases, they are without a category, and they are called the unknown's forms."

Jin lived as one of the Oris and trained with their fighting styles and skills. Although the warrior skills were similar between Oris and humans, training and growth techniques differed.

Despite the great effort he had made in the past days since his soul had taken over this body, there were things he did not know, even though they were considered essential to the rest.

“Then I need the Hermit Herb for the exam, don’t forget that I was a captive in a foreign country, so don’t be surprised if I didn’t know about it,” Jin said as he sighed.

"Sorry, I forgot about your capture. You probably haven't completed your basic training yet. But, it's okay since we've decided to become brothers. I'll tell you everything I know," Du Bai said as he looked at Jin with pity.

“I’m not that ignorant.” Jin wanted to stop him but remembered that he still needed to know more about human techniques, so he kept quiet to let Du Bai continue his explanation.

“My knowledge of magic is little, but I can help you with the basics of warriors. In the beginning, the warrior's realms are divided into seven realms, and each realm has seven levels.

They are the Basic Realm, Evolution Realm, Soul Realm, Law Realm, Fusion Realm, Semi-Heavenly Realm, and finally Heavenly Realm.

The basic realm: contains seven basic exercises, which are breathing techniques, meditation, and the five principles of fighting (attack, defense, maneuver, movement of feet and weapons)

The evolution realm: known as the Seven Transformations.

Speeds up the healing process, improves blood circulation, strengthens bones, strengthens muscle fibers, improves muscle tone, rejuvenates skin, and finally strengthens the senses.

Soul realm:

Gathering inner energy, which is the qi energy, forms a spirit form, strengthening the spirit form and training the spirit form

The law realm: Practicing the laws of the elements of nature that the spirit form has

Fusion Realm: Merging the law's with the spirit form to reach the final formation of the qi energy

As for the Semi-Heaven Realm and the Heaven Realm. I have no idea about them and what a heaven warrior can do.”

When Du Bai finished speaking, there was a yearning look on his face as he spoke about the Fusion Realm and above. Suddenly, he remembered something and said it right away.

“Ah, there is another thing which is the martial skills: they are classified into three levels, low, medium, and high. any warrior can practice the skill, whether offensive or defensive.”

As for growth techniques, it allows the warrior to break through from one realm to another. It continues with the warrior for a long period and sometimes throughout his lifetime, but only if the growth technique were appropriate to the warrior's abilities and spirit form.

The only way to obtain a growth technique is through the academies, academies of the Dragon Rank which are among the strongest academies are known for having the strongest growth techniques.”

==============================

Du Bai finally finished, so Jin took the opportunity to ask a question.

“What about you? What kind of spirit form do you have?” Jin said while looking at Du Bai curiously.

Du Bai's face changed. It seemed that Jin had put his hand on the wound. The cheerful young man lowered his head in sadness.

“When I reached the peak of the evolution realm, I was excited to know what my spirit form was, so I meditated and saw it, or rather saw a part of it. It was a black-winged demon beast, and without using the essence of a third-level beast, I could not break through to the soul realm. Unfortunately, three months have passed, and I haven’t seen any strength development.” Du Bai said as he sighed in disappointment.

Du Bai was going through problems. At this critical period of his life, he was stuck in the bottleneck, not because of his lack of talent but because of his poverty. He had never been able to obtain the essence of a third-level beast. If he were from a rich family, he would have been able to buy it and breakthrough to the soul realm.

He didn't tell anyone his secret for three months, and now he can't take it any longer, as he screamed in anger.

“Life is not fair. weapon-spirit form and fighter-spirit form can go out into the woods, and with some luck, they might get some good herbs, but what about me, have you ever heard of a field that beast essence grow on the floor?”

Even elixirs and herbs are considered expensive and unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people, so what would it be like with the essence of high-level monsters, the most expensive and more rarest than elixirs? Du Bai would naturally fall victim to frustration.

Hearing the disappointed tone of Du Bai's voice, Jin said in a calm voice.

“It’s okay. Tell me which elemental law does your spirit has. The energy from the same element law will help you breakthrough, and it will help you to develop your spirit form.”

Du Bai's eyes widened as he stared at his friend, not believing what he was asking about.

“We are in the evolution realm. What are you babbling about? Do you want to bypass the entire soul realm and start training for the law realm? How can you know the law of your spirit form before reaching its's limit, and even if you managed to know its law, what’s the point without activating it?

Law is the merging of an element of nature with the spirit form, and it is an advanced stage of the warrior's realms, that's why Du Bai was surprised.

Jin looked at Du Bai strangely. The human spirit beast's form has similar characteristics to the semi-beasts race, so the same rules that apply to the semi-beasts race are applied to the human spirit beast's form.

'It seems that humans have isolated themselves from the rest of the races, not knowing anything about the characteristics of the semi-beasts race. If my spirit were a spirit beast's form, that would be my lucky day,' Jin thought to himself.

Jin lived for a long time in the land of the Oris and met many semi-beasts, got to know their methods and techniques, and almost knew all the methods of the beast spirit form.

Looking at Du Bai with a smile on his face, Jin said, “Indeed, as the saying goes, you may find in the river what you can’t find in the sea. A spirit beast's form owner has a great advantage. Only with a simple experiment will you know your elemental laws, and you would even be able to activate them.”

Before Jin could finish his sentence, Du Bai interrupted him, understanding what he meant.

“If I activate my element law, then I won't need to search for the essence of high-level monsters. Instead, I can content with a low-level essence of the same law to breakthrough, but how can I activate the laws?”

“You must establish a contract with your devil.”

"Devil?" Du Bai was surprised by the word, as this was his first time hearing of it. Jin continued his explanation and said.

“Spirits forms that have consciousness are called Devils, didn’t I tell you that the beast's spirit form is special? they all without exception have a consciousness.”

Du Bai's eyes twinkled and widened to their extreme when he heard Jin's words.

Ever since he discovered that he possessed a rare beast spirit form, as a poor young man with no money or resources to cover his needs, he felt like a drowning man floundering in the raging waves of the sea without any hope of survival, to the point that he gave up on his dreams and accepted to live as a student in a second-rate academy.

So out of his joy, he was shaking his head left and right, and his happiness reached the point of madness to the point where he started singing.

“Long live the devil, Long live the devil…….. Long live the devil. Long live the…….”
