YM778.TV Chapter 91 - 91 The Principals’ Meeting
Moreover, he could feel that he still had the energy to form another flesh tissue next to his heart.
The system also gave him a hint.
[The host is a Tier 1 transformation-type awakener. The Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus belongs to your bloodline transformation and is not a transformation target of your own choice. You can still choose one more transformation target.]
One transformation target had already been confirmed to be the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus, and there was another one. Ning Shi wanted to think about it carefully and choose a suitable transformation path.
He had spent a lot of time awakening and studying his transformation ability in his room. It was already 12:40, and it was almost time for the meeting.
Ning Shi quickly collected his thoughts and went to the buffet restaurant downstairs to take a few bites.
In his rush, he did not notice the system hint.
[The host can consume a second bottle of the perfect awakening potion and attempt a second awakening.]
Ning Shi quickly came to the big conference room on the third floor.
The meeting room was filled with people, and everyone’s seat was marked with a name tag.
Ning Shi saw his name at a glance. It was actually in the middle of the first row.
This was a proper center spot.
On his left was Cai Peiyun, the principal of the Qingbei Awakener School in Central City.
On his right was Wu Qihua, the principal of the Fujiao Awakener School in Shangmo City.
They were all big shots, so Ning Shi sat in his seat in a low-profile manner.
However, since Ning Shi was the youngest principal in the whole place, and he was sitting in the central position, he immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Many principals had heard of Ning Shi and knew that he was the principal of a strength-type specialized school. His ability was around Tier 8.
Some people were curious about Ning Shi, while others thought highly of him. After all, he was such a young Tier 8 awakener, and his future potential was limitless.
Some people were unconvinced.
Many of the principals present were Tier 9 awakeners, and they thought that they was much stronger than Ning Shi, a Tier 8 strength-type awakener.
In the circle of awakeners, the strong were always the king. Moreover, the discrimination against strength-type awakeners had not changed.
Naturally, there were people who were unhappy with Ning Shi sitting in the central position.
However, everyone was an elite, and no one was a hothead. Even if they had opinions about Ning Shi, these people would not show it and casually make enemies.
“Hello, Principal Ning!”
“Hello, Principal Cai! Hello, Principal Wu!”
Ning Shi politely greeted the two principals and stopped talking.
He had just awakened his transformation ability, so he was still in a state of excitement.
His mind was filled with thoughts about his next transformation.
This meeting was hosted by the director of the Exchange Bureau, Tian Jun. Minister Hu Changjun and other related official leaders attended as well.
Time was tight. After the leader gave a short speech, the meeting moved on to the first topic.
“The timing for the Campus Awakeners’ Competition.”
The attending principals, other than Ning Shi, had all made ample preparations.
Everyone had their own opinions, and the meeting was very intense.
In the end, they decided that the competition would be held in 55 days.
Five days later, the National Awakeners’ competition would be the first to be held. The duration of the competition was about 50 days.
The Campus Awakeners’ Competition would follow right after.
By staggering the two competitions, not only would it not cause a conflict of interest, but it would also give the students more time to cultivate and prevent the contestants from being too weak.
Ning Shi was like an outsider at this time. His mind was still on the transformation ability, the pen in his hand constantly writing on the blank notebook.
For example, he wrote, “Monkey – Monkey King – Monkey demon – Stone monkey – Sun Wukong”, “Do 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10 kilometers of long-distance running every day for three years. Then, you lose all your hair and become Saitama.”
“The body of a python, the head of a crocodile, the horns of a buck, the eyes of a tiger, the scales of a red carp, the legs of a giant lizard, the claws of an eagle, the tail of a white shark, and the feelers of a whale. This will gradually evolve into a divine dragon.”
“Snake – Giant snake – Snake demon – Human head and snake body – Fuxi.”
On the one hand, Ning Shi wanted to transform into a strong enough creature, but on the other hand, he was worried that his target was too illusionary and he could not achieve a complete transformation at all.
He kept thinking and struggling.
Even after the first part of the meeting had ended and everyone had entered a short break, he did not notice.
Seeing the contents of Ning Shi’s notebook, principal Cai Peiyun of the Qingbei Awakener School said, “Principal Ning, you seem to be studying problems concerning the transformation-type? I didn’t expect that a strength-type genius like you would be so hardworking, and still research on other types of abilities. I’m impressed.”
After Cai Peiyun was done with the formalities, he pointed at Wu Qihua and said, “Principal Wu is a Tier 9 transformation-type expert, and the best one in Yunmeng Kingdom. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with him.”
Wu Qihua was all smiles when he received Principal Cai’s compliment. He waved his hand.
“I don’t dare to be the first. I just started on this journey earlier. One day, I’ll be overtaken by the younger generation. Principal Ning, if you have any questions, you can raise them and we can discuss them.”
“The sparks of thought often come from constant communication and discussion.”
“Thank you for your reminder, Principal Cai!” Ning Shi first thanked Cai Peiyun, then asked Wu Qihua.
“Principal Wu, I’m thinking about transformation paths. How do I design a transformation path from weak to strong?”
Wu Qihua was stunned. He didn’t expect ning Shi to ask such a broad question. He thought about it and slowly answered, “The transformation-type system, whether it is within or outside of the country, is a small faction with very few awakeners.”
“Currently, the transformation path was roughly divided into two paths, the reality path and the fantasy path.”
“The reality path advocated using the existences as a basis and transforming the target into a real creature. The advantage of this was that the difficulty of transformation was relatively low, and there was a real target to observe, so the cultivation progress of the transformation was faster. The disadvantage was that there was a limit to his strength, and the awakener could not exceed his transformed target in reality.”
“For example, if my transformation target is you, Principal Ning, then my strength will never surpass Principal Ning’s.
“The fantasy path advocated turning fantasy and virtual into reality, and transforming the target into fantasy creatures, such as characters created in movies and TV works, mythical creatures, and so on. This transformation was very difficult, but the upper limit of strength was extremely high, and there may even be no end to it.”
“Personally, I think that the best way is to use the realistic path at low level, and only join the fantasy path after reaching Tier 7 and above.”
“The essence of the transformation-type cultivation is not to surpass the target, but to use traits of your transformations to adapt to different living and fighting environments.”
Wu Qihua didn’t keep anything to himself. Instead, he shared all of his thoughts.
“When the transformation-type awakener reaches Tier 7, he can transform into three targets, six targets at Tier 8, and nine targets at Tier 9.
“After reaching Tier 9, there would be an advantage. The body’s characteristics would begin to be fed back to the target of the transformation.”
“For example, when I transform into an eagle, my combat ability isn’t strong, but I can obtain the special ability of flight. When I transform into a tiger after, I can give the flying special ability that I obtained from the eagle to the tiger.”
“The tiger would grow wings and become a winged tiger.”
“On the other hand, when I transform into an eagle, I will also gain the explosive power of a tiger and my flying speed will be greatly enhanced.”
“Therefore, you have to think about not only the transformation path but also the combination of the transformation targets. It’s just like you young people playing card games.”
“Your transformation targets are the cards in your hands. Each transformation target doesn’t have to be the strongest, but when combined together, they must be able to form a powerful combat ability.”
“Principal Ning, you can’t let a student pursue a perfect transformation target, because no transformation target is perfect. Even if he turns into Sun Wukong, there’s still Buddha to restrain him.”
Ning Shi thought of his Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus. After transforming, it was invincible on land. However, it also had a weakness, which was that it could not fly and its attack range was limited.
He could only rely on his jumping ability to fight in the sky.
There was indeed no perfect creature.
Ning Shi sighed after hearing Wu Qihua’s words.
“In that case, the transformation-type is a late-stage profession. There is only one transformation target before Tier 7. It has a single feature and weaker abilities. Only after Tier 7, there will be a burst of strength.”
Wu Qihua laughed heartily and shook his head.
“This topic is too broad, it’s hard to explain in a few words. I didn’t make it clear to Principal Ning.”
“If one’s talent wasn’t bad and the first transformation target was chosen well, the early stages of the transformation-type awakener would be extremely explosive in battle, but the sustainability would be poor.”
“For example, a Tier 3 transformation-type awakener could set his transformation target as a Tier 8 elemental-type awakener.
“Those with good talent could even temporarily gain about 5% of the strength of a Tier 8 awakener. Although the duration is only two to three seconds, the instantaneous explosive power could even reach a Tier 5 or higher.”
“That makes it easy for them to even combat awakeners at a tier higher than themselves.”
Ning Shi understood now. The transformation-type was a type with a huge difference in upper and lower limits. It valued talent and the choice of the transformation target very much.
“Of course,” Wu Qihua continued, “The transformation-type has a fatal danger. It’s easy to go insane.”
“After transforming for a long time, it is easy to mistake yourself as your transformation target and lose yourself.”
“The more targets you transform into, the stronger the target, and the more obvious the sense of loss will be.”
Ning Shi thought of the violence and bloodthirst that rose from the bottom of his heart after he transformed into the Thunder-armored Tyrannosaurus. It was indeed very easy to lose his mind.
Wu Qihua still wanted to say something, but he found that Tian Jun had already walked up to the podium.
“Principal Ning, the meeting is about to continue. We’ll talk in detail later at the dinner.”
“Alright, thank you, President Wu!”
Following that, the meeting carefully discussed a series of issues such as the scale of the competition, the schedule, the venue, the age of the participants, the competition system, and so on.
The principal representatives here were all strong people. Everyone debated fiercely, not only for the sake of the country and the overall situation, but also for the interests of their respective schools and students.
The meeting continued until 6:45 pm and they finally reached a consensus.
Seeing that everything was about to be settled, Ning Shi didn’t speak the entire time.
“Principal Ning, do you have any objections to the timing of the competition?” Cai Peiyun kindly reminded him.
“No, this timing is not bad.
“After the campus competition, the students who perform well can also participate in training with the national team to prepare for the Global Young Awakeners Martial Arts Competition in January next year. It’s quite good.”
