The Great Conqueror Chapter 21

Chapter 21 – Cheap Master (II)

“The Beast Spirit in our body is in the state of chaos1, and attributeless. It was Spirit Engraving Masters that tapped into this power, thus after a few centuries Spirit Engraving became a standard practice. Then five major attributes were discovered, Virtue, Attack, Defence, Speed and Agility. These five attributes contributed and resulted in forming a matchless brave hero.”

At this time Tuo Ma Si’s expression was extremely innocent, he could become an angel2. if not for the fact that he was missing a halo.

Tuo Ma Si was worried that Ya Se wouldn’t be able to comprehend the information. Though his talent was good but a Bi Er’s intelligence was never very high. Tuo Ma Si had already prepared for this kind of situation, waiting for Ya Se to start asking, being a competent priest a must have is patience.

Seeing Tuo Ma Si’s passionate gaze, Zou Liang’s eyes widened, the atmosphere froze, he did not understand why Tuo Ma Si had this kind of expression.

“Keke, Ya Se, you don’t have any further questions?”, Tuo Ma Si kindly questioned. To this disciple he was as warm as the sun, as the Bi Er’s had a chronic disease; dumb to the point that they didn’t even have questions to ask.

“Masters meaning is, do you understand the brilliant unity of the five attributes?”, Ao Li Quan Ya happily interpreted, it seems that she was not unfamiliar to these concepts.

Zou Liang was focused when listening, “The five attributes are the foundation of a warrior. A armour set plan is drafted based on their occupational needs for each attribute and the strengths of their bodies.”

Tuo Ma Si and Ao Li Quan Ya looked at each other…… Was this really a Bi Er?

He must be a Fu Ke Si (Fox).

Tuo Ma Si held in the his surprise and continued, “Very good, your comprehension is very thorough and deep. Shadow Hunter’s attributes lean towards, Attack, Agility, and Speed. Archers main attributes are Attack and Agility; thus one must take into account the others occupational  characteristics and their bodies innate abilities.”

The Head Priest never thought that after such a simple explanation Ya Se was able to already grasp the essence of a Spirit Engraving Master.

Zou Liang bitterly laughed, as the thought that this kind of comprehensive ability was considered basic for research ability. If one couldn’t understand this then there must be an issue with their brain, however in the process he had understood his overwhelming advantage, his comprehensive ability. He likened it to being able to view this world from a higher pedestal, this was a kind of unparalleled advantage.

Seeing that his disciple was very intelligent, Tuo Ma Si spoke frankly with confidence. Beast Transformation, depended on arousing one’s instincts to breakthrough. Early stages were easier however the later the stage the harder it would become. Beastmen who are able to break through from the silver grade to the mighty gold grade were very few in number. In the process the Spirit Engraving Masters job was to instruct, as Armour Transformation was the Spirit Engraving Master’s best ability. This was also because Armour Transformation was mainstream, because occupations such as Archers, Shadow Hunters and War Song Priests usually undergo Armour Change.

“Creating an armour set is separated into three steps:  First step, imitation, this so called imitation is an armour sets style. This determines an Armour Transformations height, body type, and attribute values to create. The latest and better armour sets have been completely monopolised by the Spirit Engraving Masters Guild.”

Tuo Ma Si paused for a moment as he had accidentally let his mouth slip, coughing a few times before he continued, “Of course our temple has some secret designs, if you have the ability, the temple will not be as stingy as the Engraving Masters Guild.”

Imitation?

Zou Liang laughed in his heart so hard it had almost split 3, was this not designing? What was this brother doing, in his Mechanical Engineering Major who needed this thing called design 4.

“Head Priest, does our temple really have such a thing how come I never knew?”, Ao Li Quan Ya asked out of curiosity.

“Keke, this is as your main occupation is not an Engraving Priest.”, Tuo Ma Si awkwardly answered.

“Ya Se, imitation is the a crucial point of a Spirit Engraving, if you are unable to gain hold of a good blueprint. Then no matter how good your talent is, the armour set your create will only be wasted.”

Ao Li Quan Ya really considered herself as the senior sister, the appearance of this little senior assistant really made Zou Liang want to laugh. His inner age was already 27 years old, how could he still be like such a little child, however Zou Liang pushed the responsibility to Ya Se’s spirit.

“Ao Li Quan Ya is correct, but this only needs to be considered after reaching higher grades. After having a good imitation, then comes creation, the shorter the time the less Beast Spirit is used and the better the attributed values are. Of course we can use some techniques to make up for the deficiencies, this is by using a demonic beasts Beast Spirit. This is a technique, however I will give you a more concrete explanation when we practice. Frankly speaking Engraving Priest is a occupation for the quick-witted and one with fine-motor skills. Ya Se the Bi Er tribe is lacking in this aspect thus even though you’re talented, you’ll need to work hard.”

“Yes Master. Master, one’s hard work can compensate for the their lacking abilities 5, I will work hard.”

Ya Se as an Engraving Priest in training, dumbly laughed, it seemed that Head Priest Tuo Ma Si had taken him in as a life saving straw. This probably touched on the general situation of the Meng Jia Empire; the internal strife of between the temple and council 6. These years, the power of the temple was on the decline, this is as the Lai Yin Minister of political affairs Pang Pei (Páng péi) had reached the pinnacle of a gold grade warrior. Only a single step was left and the situation would become unbalanced, as the Spirit Engraving Masters Guild was evidently more biased towards the magistrate. The three powers could not be divided thus they mutually competed.

Of course a small character like Zou Liang did not need to mull over these things.

“Experience it yourself first, here are some books you can read whenever, if you do not understand something you can ask Ao Li Quan Ya. I still have a prayer ceremony to take care of.”

Tuo Ma Si was also a busy person, for Ya Se he only had one wish; perhaps it was because he was from the Engraving Priest faculty. However even if the Head Priest wished for a miracle, whatever the result was, it would not affect him much.

A Spirit Engraving master did not only require good talent but also many other conditions…..

After Tuo Ma Si left, Ao Li Quan Ya immediately got up, suspiciously looked at Ya Se, whilst slowly circling around him, carefully measuring up Zou Liang. Seeing this Zou Liang’s scalp numbed, this kind of expression meant something was wrong.

“Weird, weird, far too weird, are you really from the Bi Er tribe?”, Ao Li Quan Ya exclaimed whilst staring at Zou Liang, if the others eyes twinkled she would immediately know.

“Of course, could the Bi Er Imprint on my head be fake?”, Zou Liang replied pointing at his forehead.

“A Beast Spirit Imprint can be faked, but thinking it through you have no means to achieve it. Originally I thought you were extremely stupid, I didn’t think that you’ll actually be very smart instead.”

Ao Li Quan Ya pouted with her hands on her waist, like a curious child.

Zou Liang stretched and laughed, replying, “You’re also pretty smart, when I first saw you I thought you were a little girl craving attention.7”

“You’re the attention craver, daring to speak to your senior sister in such a manner, looking for a beating!”

Ao Li Quan Ya threw a playful punch completely exuding a little girls demeanour. Zou Liang impolitely grabbed her incoming fist; very soft, very cute.

“Little girls 8 must be gentle, ”

“This person is going to become a War Song Priestess!”

“Do you sing?”

“I just called you smart but you turned dumb, War Song’s aren’t the same as singing songs. Ao Li Quan Ya’s singing is the best to listen to, but you’re a baddy, so I won’t sing for you to listen!”

As her little fist was still being clenched by Ya Se, Ao Li Quan Ya thought that this disciple brother was very mean. She felt it was strange thus she struggled to escape his hold as she couldn’t be held by him forever.

Censored but I presume it is inside the body  Raws say God but in western culture and angel is more relevant.  In chinese they say until it turned into flowers basically it is figurative of a bud flowering thus splitting  To use someone else’s blueprint.  In chinese dumb bird flies early is an idiom for what I have written.  Previously mentioned as the theocracy and the monarchy but this time the author referred it as the temple and the council  花痴 is chinese something like a hooker but if it is used on a child it’s just an attention seeker.  女孩家的 can be female wives or female children
