The spaceship was flying steadily in the space. Lan Xuanyu sat upright beside the old tree, listening to the old tree telling him about the School of Life.
Although Shu Lao had already decided that he was the successor of the School of Life, he had never really had time to communicate with Shu Lao.
The old tree smiled and said, "This time I have the opportunity to come out with you. I will tell you about our Life School."
"Our Life School was founded on the day that the Eternal Sky City was founded. In fact, our greatest role is to serve as a link with the Eternal Tree. At the same time, we protect the Eternal Tree and the source of life on our home planet. This is also the most important responsibility of our Life School."
"The Life School has only one criterion for recruiting new members, and that is life affinity. Everyone has their own vitality. The strength of vitality often determines a person's physical condition, and the amount of vitality determines a person's life span. The so-called life affinity is the degree of resonance between one's own vitality and the vitality of the outside world."
"Normally, the vitality of ordinary people cannot resonate with the vitality of the outside world. The sources of external vitality are wide-ranging. Soul beasts have vitality, plants have vitality. Even rare metals that have been forged at a high level may have their own vitality. Life affinity means that we can have affinity with these external vitality, resonate with them, and even absorb their vitality and stimulate their vitality to increase."
"You were chosen because you have an affinity for life that we have never seen before. You have an affinity for the life force of the outside world, especially the life force of plants, that is almost like assimilation. That is why you can absorb such a huge amount of life energy from the outside world."
"For example, ordinary students who practice in our academy can also feel the life energy of the Sea God Lake and the life force from the Eternal Tree, but this huge life force will only have some subtle impact on their life force. It is definitely not like you, where you don't have to do anything at all, and the life energy will naturally surround you and even actively join your body. You may have gotten used to it now, but I must tell you that you are completely different from others in this respect. Even I can feel very comfortable around you, and this is the natural attraction of life energy. When I am with you, your life affinity will make my almost exhausted life force feel rejuvenated."
Lan Xuanyu listened to the old tree's story and for the first time truly understood the affinity of life.
The old tree continued, "Life affinity is the foundation. You have such a strong life affinity physique, and your future achievements are limitless. Although your martial soul is special and difficult to improve, you must believe in your own foundation. What's more, you are not only life-affinity, but also elemental affinity. Such a unique physique is not even seen in historical records. And the difficulty in improving your cultivation may also be related to this aspect. After all, when God opens a door for you, it is very likely that he will also close a window for you."
Lan Xuanyu did not say that it was because of the conflict between the two bloodlines that his cultivation level was difficult to improve. In fact, his soul power improvement was relatively slow. What the old tree said was probably true. Because of the affinity between life and constitution, and because of the special nature of his body, during the cultivation process, a lot of the absorbed energy was actually absorbed by the body itself, and not converted into soul power. This was so that the body could bear the strength of the bloodline.
Especially in the past one or two years, Lan Xuanyu felt it very clearly. With the help of the treasure-hunting beast, he also ate a lot of good things, and the water of chaos nourished him. In this process, he found that his body actually absorbed a lot. If all the abundant energy was used in soul power, his soul power would probably have broken through long ago.
But because of this, his physical strength has been continuously improving. Perhaps it is because of the accumulation of strength, and now his physical fitness is so strong that even he himself cannot make an accurate judgment. After all, after the fifth and sixth grades, the college will not do basic physical tests. The only standard of measurement is the one between him and Qian Lei.
In terms of strength, Lan Xuanyu is now not inferior to Qian Lei, who has the Golden Behemoth as his natal summoned beast, and this is under the premise that Qian Lei has transformed.
Only their companions knew how strong Lan Xuanyu was in this aspect. His recovery ability was also very strong, and he almost had a tireless quality.
When practicing forging, he never stopped because of physical fatigue, because he was not tired at all. He only stopped forging when he could no longer support himself mentally. It was his strong strength and continuous energy that allowed him to reach the peak of the sixth-level forger in just a few years. Now the success rate of spirit forging is extremely high, and it is still in the case of fusion forging. He is only one step away from entering the realm of a true master and forging soul-forged metal.
If he was not about to face the graduation exam, Lan Xuanyu really wanted to make a breakthrough in soul forging. With his accumulation, as long as he had the guidance of an expert, breakthrough would be a natural process.
Therefore, in the past two years, Lan Xuanyu has actually stopped worrying about the slow progress of his cultivation, which is completely different from when he first entered Shrek. The continuous improvement of physical fitness has greatly made up for the problem of soul power. He is now seventeen years old and knows more and is more thoughtful than before. It is definitely good for you to accumulate more knowledge.
Normally, the best age for a soul master to improve is before the age of 30, but Lan Xuanyu feels that even if he is older, the speed of improvement will not decrease. Although he only has four rings now, he is indeed not inferior to the average seven-ring soul saint. With the integration of his own various characteristics, he still has a pivotal position in the team.
The old tree said: "Our Life School is equivalent to holding the lifeline of the mother planet, so we have a very special status in the Federation. I am also a federal congressman, which you may not know. When you take over in the future, you will also inherit this position. Our position is permanent and does not require election. In addition, you can also enter the Poseidon Pavilion in the academy. Because you are young, you may be an ordinary member when you enter the Poseidon Pavilion in the future, but as your strength improves and your contributions increase, you should be able to become the deputy pavilion master. This is all brought to you by the Life School."
At this point, the tree elder's expression suddenly became a little serious. "But you also have to bear the responsibility of the School of Life. The first is protection. Protect the Eternal Tree. As the source of life for the entire mother planet, the Eternal Tree elevates the mother planet to the god-level. In the Federation, there are countless people coveting the huge vitality of the Eternal Tree. If it weren't for the protection of the academy, who knows what would happen. And we are the ones in the academy who are specifically responsible for protecting the Eternal Tree."
"Internal conflicts are easier to deal with, after all, those people just want to use the Eternal Tree. More important are those from outside. With the Federation's interstellar colonization, we have touched the interests of some old and powerful forces. Wars have actually been going on all the time, but they are all in outer galaxies, so the people are not aware of it. After so many years, these external forces have long known the significance of our Eternal Tree to the Federation, so there have been several times when strong people have come to the mother planet and tried to destroy our Eternal Tree. Therefore, it is our duty to protect the Eternal Tree, even at the cost of our lives, we must protect it. It is the core of the entire Federation."
