The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles - Chapter 468
Chapter 468: Chapter 246: Constructing the Flying Sword_1
Upon Lin Yi’s entry into the dojo, the on-going Spirit Beast Disciples all stopped in their tracks. Using their claws, hooves, and even wings, they bowed to him and made various sounds.
The identity he revealed in the Spirit Beast Dojo was the same Overlord Form he used when he initially subdued the little mouse and the Bull Demon and other Monster Beasts.
This way, even if some of the spirit beasts in the dojo ascended to the Upper Realm in the future, he doesn’t have to worry about his true appearance being exposed.
In response to the salutes from these spirit beasts, Lin Yi subtly nodded. Over the years, although his student title hasn’t advanced from [Study Superior] to the next stage, his teacher title has risen to the third stage [Senior Teacher].
However, there was no change in the title’s information. It still offered a certain comprehension to the students, resulting in a monthly thank-you, but he confirmed that he can now accept animals as students.
Upon receiving the [Senior Teacher] title, he conducted a teaching session, and the Title System prompted that he had successfully taken in these spirit beasts as students.
The condition “To be a teacher for a day is to be a father for a lifetime” had not changed; even if he advanced to the third stage, he still needed to teach for a day to establish a teacher-student relationship.
Lin Yi had always wondered about this phrase as the condition for a teacher-student relationship was to be a teacher for a day, so ‘to be a father for a lifetime’ could not possibly be redundant. It should also have an effect.
Later, he conducted some tests and asked some spirit beast disciples to attack him. However, these spirit beasts all said they couldn’t bear any thoughts of harming him.
Even the disciples who were Golden Core Spirit Beasts felt the same way. It seemed they couldn’t even entertain the thought of attacking him, which could be the effect of ‘being a father for a lifetime.’
However, according to his guess, this effect might not exist if he tried to harm these students.
After all, in this world, cases of children attacking their parents are not uncommon.
After Lin Yi received the [Senior Teacher] title, he started conducting periodic classes for these spirit beast disciples, teaching them some knowledge and thereby granting them some insight.
Gradually, these spirit beasts began to sense some changes in themselves, especially during their learning sessions—they were notably quicker than before.
This summates the reason why the Spirit Beast Dojo is referred to as a “Holy Place” by the outer Monster Beasts—it’s where their wisdom is unlocked.
Upon entering the inner field, Lin Yi spotted the Spirit Cow Senior Brother leading a group of spirit beast cubs in their cultivation. Upon seeing him, the Spirit Cow quickly led the cubs in a bow, “Greetings, Master.”
He lightly nodded. At first, this Spirit Cow struggled to adjust to its senior brother’s identity, but over time, under his guidance, it gradually took up the responsibility of managing the disciples. Meanwhile, it had also adopted the name “Big Bull,” which he casually called it once.
Just as Lin Yi was about to enter the largest hall in the middle, he suddenly heard some exclamations. He looked up to see a large ape shadow rising from the direction of the back mountain. It was enormous, like a small mountain.
Seeing this, he couldn’t help but smile wryly and asked the Bull Demon not far away, “Big Bull, what task does Golden Treasure have today?”
Golden Treasure was the name of the little mouse, meaning golden treasure. However, it always reminded him of one of Liu Huaqiang’s henchmen.
When he held the alias in the Path of Survivor, Liu Huaqiang was one of the roles included in his standby list. After all, one look at him, and you’d know he isn’t one to be messed with.
Later, he suddenly remembered the role Liu Huaqiang had played as Sun Bin in a Warring States movie. It was such an unforgettable scene that he unhesitatingly given up that alias, choosing the image of Tian Ba from Fengyun instead.
Big Bull sent a Divine Intent, “Master, the Second Brother is teaching the disciples about the Formation at the back mountain.”
Lin Yi nodded. When the first batch of Monster Beasts became official disciples, Golden Treasure voluntarily divulged his identity as True Monarch Tian Xu as a testament to the power of his Second Brother status.
The subordinates were shocked as they never suspected that their revered True Monarch Tian Xu was the little mouse, capable of breaking formations.
The Tiger Demon who was then watching the gate loudly claimed that it had long suspected something was amiss with the Black Bear.
In the end, these Spirit Beasts had to accept the fact that the little mouse who was True Monarch Tian Xu, was indeed their Second Brother.
To Lin Yi, Golden Treasure’s action was a serious mistake. Wasn’t it better to hide one’s ability and grow secretly? But no, he had to show off his power and earn the disciples’ respect by revealing his secret.
However, he didn’t stop him. After all, every disciple is entitled to choose their path, and not everyone, neither human nor Monster Beast, is willing to tread the Path of Survivor.
Originally, Golden Treasure could only transform into one type of animal. As he continued to practice and strive to complete tasks, he gained a bloodline enhancement ability.
As a result, he could unlock the transformation ability for a second species, and without any hesitation, he chose the ape, seemingly intending to overshadow the Golden Ape.
When the Golden Ape first saw the large ape, it was filled with rage and wanted to fight Golden Treasure.
