Li Tianming continued the lecture.
"The Path of the Believer is divided into the Dark Grade, Starlight Grade, Moonshadow Grade, and Dawn Grade according to the grade of the main sacrifice used in your Divine Rite."
"On Paths of different ranks, each step forward gives a different level of improvement. Although the difference in each individual improvement isn't very obvious, after accumulating step by step over time, the gap becomes very significant."
"That's why most sequence ability users hope to awaken a higher-ranked Path of the Believer, and will stay at Sequence Level Five for a long time in order to collect sacrificial materials."
"But in reality, the higher the rank of the Path of the Believer, the stronger the sequence ability user is not necessarily true."
"The improvement from advancing one step on a Dark Grade Path is indeed smaller than advancing one step on a Dawn Grade Path. But the obstacles on a Dark Grade Path are also much fewer than those on a Dawn Grade Path."
"In the end, it's possible that the sequence ability user on a Dark Grade Path has already reached Sequence Level Seven, while the one on a Dawn Grade Path is still stuck at Sequence Level Six. At that point, Sequence Level Seven suppresses Sequence Level Six by rank, so the sequence ability user on the Dark Grade Path is actually stronger."
"Moreover, sequence ability users on the Dark Grade Path are much less suppressed by the gods."
"A Dawn Grade Path ability user may need to reach Sequence Level Seven or even higher before they can defeat an ordinary mid-tier god. But a Dark Grade Path sequence ability user can already fight a powerful mid-tier god at Sequence Level Seven."
After Li Tianming finished this section, Chu Baxing and the others looked at Qin Siyang with even more curiosity.
Even a sequence ability user on a Dark Grade Path had to reach Sequence Level Seven before they could fight a powerful mid-tier god.
Then how could Qin Siyang, who had only just stepped onto the Path of the Believer, wipe out both the Riftshadow Giant Python and the Blazing Light Bird, two powerful mid-tier gods, and casually blow apart a bizarre mid-tier god like the Doom Octopus?
At that moment, the same absurd guess arose in Chu Baxing and the others' minds, 'Is Qin Siyang also a god?'
Looking at Qin Siyang, who was idly picking his ear, they couldn't help swallowing.
'Could a god with such a lifelike human form really exist?'
Just then, Gu Yunpeng raised his hand again and asked, "Professor Li. Does this Path of the Believer have an end?"
Li Tianming smiled deeply, "That's a good question. I think it's worth discussing with everyone. Qin Siyang, what do you think?"
"I don't think anything."
"You do."
"..."
Qin Siyang reluctantly stood up, "Then let me ask first. Where did the name 'Path of the Believer' come from?"
Li Tianming answered, "Information from other Safe Zones. The Path of the Believer, the Divine Ritual, and so on were all figured out by other Safe Zones first and then shared with us."
"If they came up with it, then there should be some reason for the name. If you ask me, if it's called a path, then it must have an end. Either a destination or a dead end."
Li Tianming nodded, "Mm, well said. Go on. If there is an end, what do you think it looks like?"
Qin Siyang glared at Li Tianming.
'You bald old man, it's not enough that I'm helping answer everyone else's questions, you even have to keep piling on?'
Li Tianming pretended not to notice and lowered his head to drink tea from his thermos.
Qin Siyang snorted and continued, "I don't know what the end looks like either. After all, I'm just an ordinary Sequence Level Five ability user. But I imagine it should have something to do with the mysterious phantom that appears on the Path of the Believer."
"Maybe it leads to the feet of one of those mysterious phantoms. Maybe you directly merge into one of them. Anyway, there's no evidence, so no matter how wild the imagination is, it isn't too much."
When Qin Siyang mentioned the "mysterious phantom," all the other students listened intently, hoping to find a few clues to the source of his strength in his words.
But once again, Qin Siyang stopped just as he reached the important part.
Leaving half of what he wanted to say unsaid was his usual speaking habit, but this time he really had nothing more to offer.
After Qin Siyang answered the question, Li Tianming gave a few harmless comments and continued the lecture.
For the entire class, Li Tianming basically taught the course material while Qin Siyang answered the off-topic questions.
For the whole lesson, Qin Siyang's brain never stopped working.
Not only did he have to answer the other students' questions, he also had to watch out for Li Tianming suddenly following up with another question or two.
After class, Fu Wanli practically begged Qin Siyang and the others to explain the Divine Ritual and the Path of the Believer to him.
Since Li Tianming had called Qin Siyang aside to talk, Zhao Sifang took the initiative to explain everything to little brother Fu Wanli.
Li Tianming beamed from ear to ear, grinning like a flower, "Little Qin, today's class went really well. It's all thanks to you! It was very effective. Everyone was very satisfied!"
"I'm not satisfied!", Qin Siyang widened his eyes, "Old Li, let's settle this first. I'm taking leave next class!"
"Why take leave for no reason?"
"Teaching is too exhausting. I can't do it anymore. It's one thing when the others ask questions, but why were you joining in too?"
"Well, there were some things I didn't quite understand either. We learn from each other while teaching..."
"The hell we do! You're Sequence Level Five, and I'm an Origin Sequence. The two of us together can't even make one Path of the Believer, and you still want to talk about learning from each other about the Path of the Believer?"
"That's true, but Little Qin, you think fast. If you hadn't answered some of those questions for me, I really wouldn't have known how to smooth things over."
"Oh, give me a break. Anyway, I'm not coming to the next class. Absolutely not!"
"You..."
Qin Siyang, thoroughly dissatisfied, was about to leave when he thought of something. He took out a storage box, removed the special lock, and tossed it to Li Tianming.
"Can you use this?"
"What's this... Holy shit?", Li Tianming stared in shock, "Th-this whole box of Doom Octopuses... were... were all killed by you?"
"Can you use them or not? I'm asking you."
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course! The corpses of intelligent mid-tier gods like Doom Octopuses have extremely high research value!"
"As long as they're useful. They're yours. I won't be coming to this class anymore."
"Ah? But Little Qin, without you..."
"If you won't agree, give them back "
Qin Siyang stepped forward to snatch the storage box back, but Li Tianming quickly hugged it to his chest.
"I agree! I agree!"
Qin Siyang snorted and left the classroom.
Li Tianming looked carefully at the Doom Octopus corpses in the storage box again, and a gratified smile gradually spread across his face, like that of a proud mother.
"This kid is getting more and more impressive."
