The Path of the Great Sovereign 122 High Standards

The Pre-educational program starts teaching children 3 years old, the basics of Spirit Master cultivation. Dean Tatsuo created a few techniques to allow those children to build a better foundation, so no matter the Spirit they awaken these children will be able to cultivate.

According to the knowledge of the humans of the Douluo Continent if you awaken certain spirits you will not be able to cultivate. For example those who awaken Blue Spirit Grass as a spirit are said to be unable to acquire strength as the usually have an Innate spirit power of 0 to 2 upon there awakening.

With 0 to 2 ranked spirit power upon your awakening you will only acquire little or no Spirit power when attempting to cultivate. Even if they are able to their prospects are limited and will only be able to become Spirit Grandmasters or Spirit elders at best and will never be able to reach the peak of cultivation.

Tang San's Spirit was originally Blue Spirit Grass however he had two spirits and not only that as a reincarnator that practiced his own cultivation method using different mystic arts. So Tatsuo used this as a reference when he was thinking of ways to increase the overall strength of his future students. If you're gonna play a part you better do it right, so he created 3 different techniques 1 to strengthen the body called Heavenly Body.

This technique strengthened every part of the body both inside and outside of the body, rather than Tang San's method of using multiple techniques which will give you the same results.

The second method what called Heavenly Soul, which cleansed the internal spirit channels of the body increasing cultivation speed and effectiveness.

And the last one was called Heavenly Mind, this was to increase the child's thought processing speed and memory retention. As in battle they would need a mind that could keep up with their body, while in school they would need to retain the information they learned.

Tatsuo first tested this on one of the former shinobi from the Night empire as her Spirit was a Shovel, which on the Douluo Continent is a called a trash spirit. She was awakened with a spirit power of 1 and now she is known as World Break Douluo a Rank 93 Control System spirit master.

When the children turn 6 and awaken their spirits they are admitted to Tai Tan Primary, similar to the Primary schools on the Douluo continent this school is designed to teach you the basics of being a Spirit master. Such as what you should do when you cultivate as there is no "Standard" for doing it but there are certain areas you must hit along it's process to maximize your efforts.

The Standard for acquiring spirit rings on the Douluo continent was 2 Yellow Rings, 2 Purple, 4 Black, and 1 Red. However, Tai Tan Primary makes Titans so of course we have our own standard which is: 5 Black and 4 Red. This was to increase the overall power of the the Spirit Master in accordance with their strengthened body.

From there they are taught similarly to Elementary to High School students in General education for the next 6 years of their lives. In order to graduate students must pass both the general education exam and the Spirit power exam, Which the must score a minimum of an 80 on the general education exam. Then to pass the Spirit Power exam they must be a Rank 30 Spirit Elder at minimum.

Tan Academy was the next stage which is similar to Shrek Academy however, Graduates of the Primary school are guaranteed to join Tan Academy.

The Entrance requirements were simple: Be no more than 12 years old.

Have Rank 30 Spirit Power with Two Black Spirit Rings (or Red).

In Tan Academy this is where Spirit Master teams were formulated and they were taught how to maneuver both in a team and solo in battle. While continuing to receive education on the proper way to be a Spirit Master. The General education covered Undergraduate to Graduate level material in all fields.

Graduation required you to be a Rank 60 Spirit King at 20 years old with at least a Bachelor's degree.

You must battle one of the 10 Titled Douluo elders within the Academy and receive a passing grade.

Then there was Tai Tan no Seika Advanced Training facility which was completely optional only information known is that to enter you must be at least a Spirit Douluo and no more than 40 years old.

Standing at the helm of it all was the Almighty Dragon Douluo and his goal was to slay the oldest beast on the Island for his 10th Spirit Ring. The Spirit beast in question was the 5 Million year old Funnel Spider Empress who upon reaching 5 Million mutated from the Queen Funnel Spider.

So far Tatsuo was sitting in his cultivation room on the 170th floor of the Tan Tower which dubbed as his residence. He was currently attempting to break the level 99 barrier to achieve this false godhood.

Hours go by as his Spirit Power is being built up so smash the last door of known cultivation. When he felt the time was right he began pounding his spiritual power against this last barrier, wave after wave of this power hit the wall like a tsunami pounding against a dam.

Just like the tsunami this wave could not be held back any longer as he broke through the barrier reaching the peak of the 1st stage. When he opened his eyes he found a renewed sense of clarity as he immediately made his preparations to slay the beast.

First he checked on the status of spreading the word of the Academy on the mainland, and apparently they have reached the ears of a King within the Star Luo empire.

"Tell this King that he may come Visit our Island when I return from Acquiring my next spirit ring."

The Spirit master he spoke to nodded then Tatsuo made his way away from Idai and into the forest. The Spirit Beast he was hunting resides near the center of the Island in a large underground ravine.

Tatsuo walked into this Ravine on high alert as for the first time he will fight a battle in which he is truly unsure of the outcome.

Walking through the ravine he maintains high vigilance as he moves deeper and deeper into the depths below as darkness was his only companion.

These type of Spiders a typically extremely territorial regardless of gender, however luckily this one is a female. As the Males are slightly larger with 4-6 time more venomous bite, however this is speaking of a normal Funnel spider.

The Funnel Spider Empress was just as it's name suggested the peak of that particular sub species of spider. Not only that upon reaching 100,000 years old Spirit Beasts gain the ability to speak human tongue while also gaining vastly more intelligence. Therefore her power and Knowledge as a 5 million year old fogie could not be underestimated in the slightest.

"Ooo a Visitor look my babies."

Thousands of red eyes appeared from almost every angle as Tatsuo looked around him.

"Stay still as I knit you into a lovely coat."
