Chapter 157 Becoming a Level 2 Orc is a Lesser Beast
A hint of surprise flashed across Luo Cihe's originally calm eyes. He stared closely at the ice thorn in Xia Yueke's hand. The chill emanating from the ice thorn made him raise his eyebrows slightly.
He took a step forward and carefully examined the shape and texture of the ice spike. His slender fingers gently brushed across the surface of the ice spike, feeling the power contained in it.
"Well, these ice spikes are condensed in a very methodical way, and the cold energy is also quite concentrated. You have mastered this technique in such a short time, which shows that you have put in a lot of hard work."
There was a subtle hint of recognition in his voice, and his eyes showed a bit more scrutiny and expectation, as if he was re-evaluating Xia Yueke's potential, thinking about how many surprises and breakthroughs she could bring in the future on the road of beast power cultivation.
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up instantly, and her little face, which was originally slightly tense due to nervousness, instantly bloomed into a bright smile, and the surprise in her eyes was almost overflowing.
She jumped excitedly, her ears twitching with joy, and said happily:
"Really? Great Wizard! I knew I could do it!"
Luo Cihe nodded slightly, his eyes swept over Duzi, Juanjuan and Rongqiu again, and he said in a calm voice:
"The beast power you three have displayed is already quite high, comparable to that of a second-level beastman. Let me ask you, have you cultivated beast power elsewhere?"
The ball of fluff's eyes sparkled and he nodded without hesitation, the fluff on his head shaking.
"Yes, we practiced diligently with our tribe's elders for a long time. The elders taught us patiently until they said they couldn't teach us anymore. That's when we came here!"
Luo Cihe nodded thoughtfully, a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Well, if you can persevere and practice diligently in the future, perhaps you can successfully reach the second-level beastman realm before the cold season arrives, and then transform into a young beast."
Xia Yueke was listening nearby, frowning slightly, and asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"Little beast? What is that?"
Luo Cihe looked at Xia Yueke's confused expression, wondering in his heart whether this brat really didn't know or was just pretending not to know. He sighed helplessly and explained:
"The so-called young beast refers to that specific stage before adulthood. You see."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed his slender finger at the young beasts who were attending class not far away, "Just like them."
Xia Yueke looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a group of figures who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
At first glance, their bodies are very similar to humans, but a closer look reveals differences.
Although their bodies are somewhat similar to humans, they exude a unique orcish aura.
Those young males have tall and straight postures, a heroic air in their youthfulness, and bright and determined eyes, just like little cheetahs showing their talents on the grassland, full of energy and drive.
The female beasts are full of tenderness and beauty. Their faces are white and delicate, like the flowers blooming in spring, tender and juicy.
Her eyes are big and lively, and there is innocence in her glance.
Under her small nose, her lips are as red as cherries, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth carry the shyness and playfulness of a girl.
Their animal ears are delicate and cute, some are as small and exquisite as cat ears, some are furry and slightly upturned like fox ears, and they tremble gently on both sides of their heads, adding a bit of playfulness and agility to them.
The animal tails behind them also have different shapes. Some are as fluffy and soft as squirrel tails, and some are as slender and flexible as snake tails. They sway gently with their movements, highlighting the girls' graceful figures.
They were listening to the class attentively, or looking intently ahead, or looking down to write something down, completely unaware of the gazes here.
When Xia Yuke heard this, her eyes lit up instantly and her heart was filled with surprise.
She thought to herself, if she could become a second-level orc, wouldn't she be able to grow up like those young beastmen?
She looked just like a modern high school student, with more freedom and abilities. Thinking about how she was now, a child, restricted in every way, she had longed to grow up quickly and explore the wider world.
Now that she knew there was such a shortcut to growth, she couldn't help but regret her previous negligence.
Before Duzai and the others arrived, he didn't take the cultivation of beast power seriously. Every day he was either thinking about where to find new and interesting things to eat, drink and have fun with, or racking his brains to plan how to compete with Qi'an in wits and courage, wasting a lot of time.
"So when do they leave the Cub Academy? In other words... graduate?"
Xia Yueke asked, she was already a little tired of this place.
Especially the things taught by Qi'an, which she thought were too childish and far less useful than the knowledge taught by Die Xu and Hu Wanchou.
Luo Cihe raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an evil smile, and he slowly said:
"Of course, after the winter, many of the cubs in your Enlightenment Class will have grown into young beasts! Then, it will be time for you to move on to a new stage."
When Duzai and the others heard this, they were all extremely excited and wished they could turn into little beasts in the next second.
Duzi's face flushed with excitement, his eyes sparkled with passion, and he raised his little fist high.
"Then I will practice my beast power well in the future. I want to be the first among us to become a young beast!"
Duzi shouted loudly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement and his chest heaving violently.
Juanjuan shook his tail vigorously, his ears erected, and he said loudly:
"I have to work hard too. I want to become stronger. Maybe I can even become the most powerful among the young beasts!"
The ball of fluff rubbed its hands together and grinned:
"Haha, after the winter season, it's our turn to perform. I want to start training now. Once I become a young beast, I'm sure I'll be awesome!"
Then the three of them didn't want Xia Yue to teach them anymore. They pestered Luo Cihe to teach them again and help them improve to a higher level.
Duzi took the lead and rushed forward, holding one of Luo Cihe's legs tightly with both hands, tilting his head back, his eyes full of eagerness and anticipation:
"Great Wizard, please teach us again. We want to become stronger."
Luo Cihe was in a good mood today. He looked down at the little guys at his feet, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
"Well, I'll explain it to you today."
His voice was gentle and calm, and then he slowly walked to the open space on the side, ready to teach the method of cultivating beast power again. His steps were neither fast nor slow, and his clothes fluttered gently in the wind.
Xia Yue looked at Duzi and the others happily following Luo Cihe to study again, and her heart was itching.
Her eyes rolled around, an idea came to her mind, and she decided to go and listen.
So, she straightened her clothes, held her head high, and strode towards Luo Cihe and the others.
