"Ahem …" Professor Saul gave a dry cough and signaled for Ma Dong to sit down. "Soul beasts are also a type of dimensional beast. Be more attentive in class."
"Yes, teacher!" Ma Dong saluted and sat down with a pleased look on his face. I'm so handsome and smart that even I'm jealous.
Professor Saul ignored Ma Dong and continued, "There are two main types of dimensional beasts. The first type are wild dimensional beasts. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some are humanoid, some are beast-like, and some are even plant-like. I suspect that dimensional beasts don't originally have a form, and that they have been influenced by the image of our plane to form a mimicry. The reason for the appearance of these wild dimensional beasts is unknown. We only know that they can appear anywhere at any time, and they can even appear in the heart of the Federation's important cities. Perhaps it's related to spatial cracks, but their existence is limited. Apart from this, their bodies will mysteriously disappear if they're killed or accidentally killed. This has caused the Federation to be unable to obtain a true wild dimensional beast's corpse. Our understanding of them is too limited. Wild dimensional beasts are generally very aggressive. Normally, if you encounter one, you should immediately report it to the city guards.
Don't hold any hope of getting your hands on a true wild dimensional beast's corpse! "Professor Saul pushed his spectacles up the bridge of his nose." The other type is the soul beast that Student Ma Dong just mentioned. When a heroic soul soldier's Soul Sea reaches a certain special condition, a soul beast's shadow will be projected from a higher dimension into the Soul Sea and establish a connection with the heroic soul soldier. In other words, it's similar to a soul contract.
In the Freedom Federation, every heroic soul soldier that could summon dimensional beasts was a cut above the rest. There was no doubt about this. These people were higher than special ability users and had a completely transcendent status. Although they had researched soul beasts for a long time, they hadn't made much progress. This mysterious method of communication had completely surpassed the current technological level of mankind.
Professor Saul continued to talk. "After many years of research, we discovered that dimensional beasts are a kind of projection of a human's consciousness. For example, Laura's Explosive Bear that Ma Dong just mentioned. According to our investigation of Laura, she liked teddy bears since she was young, until one day, a bear projection appeared in her Soul Sea."
"Teacher, I like ball-sized beauties. I've liked them since I was young. Can I summon a beautiful soul beast?" Ma Dong asked in high spirits.
Immediately, the entire class went into an uproar. Saul had the urge to strangle Ma Dong to death. "That's a good question. Are dimensional lifeforms actually living beings or are they some kind of power that is condensed from human consciousness? This question still needs to be researched. What we're concerned about is intelligence. Soul beasts seem to have human consciousness, but in reality, we call this the parrot phenomenon. This means that soul beasts are actually influenced by humans and only possess some basic and primitive biological instincts. At most, they're equivalent to a few years old child. This is the bottleneck of our research."
Up until now, humans had yet to even understand the definition of dimensional beasts.
Wang Zhong couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. He had looked up quite a bit of information regarding this, but his authority was limited.
If dimensional beasts had no intelligence, then what was Simba? That fellow's brain was like a supercomputer. That fellow's IQ was definitely several times higher than that of a human's, and his emotions were not inferior to a human's. A child of a few years … Simba would be furious.
"Teacher, what if a highly intelligent soul beast were to appear?"
Saul gawked for a moment before an excited expression appeared on his face. "We can't rule out the possibility of such a thing appearing in the future. That would definitely be a historical moment for the biological world. I believe that all of the scientists in the Freedom Federation would gather together to research it!"
Shaking the entire Federation … Although he was already aware of this, Wang Zhong still couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Just imagine those mad scientists. Who knew how many pieces he and Simba would be cut into …
"Alright, that's all for today's theoretical knowledge. In the last class, I promised everyone that I would obtain the corpses of a few Sahara Metal-eating Ants. They'll all be in the laboratory. Everyone, follow me and dissect these mystical creatures to your heart's content! "
Professor Saul's words were filled with passion, but the majority of the students below him were frowning in distress, especially the girls.
Dissection classes were definitely a nightmare in the hearts of the majority of students.
Ma Dong looked as if he was about to vomit. "Corpses … that's not the right word to use. It's just a mutated insect. Teacher Saul is really too much. He's not even letting us eat."
"Be content with what you have." Student Wang Zhong's face was filled with anticipation. "Do you know how much investment is needed to bring a Sahara Metal-eating Ant to Tianjing City? It's only because Professor Saul has a special relationship with the Federation's Biological Research Institute that he was able to obtain one. Ordinary academies would only be able to see a picture of it. "
Ma Dong rolled his eyes. "You pervert, there's something wrong with your sexual orientation!"
Seeing that the majority of the students weren't in high spirits and were walking slowly, Professor Saul said in a meaningful tone, "I forgot to tell everyone. Students Scarlet, Milami, and a few other female students from the elite class are also very interested in this dissection and have requested to participate. Right now, they're probably in the dissection room. You guys better not be outdone by the girls."
After a short period of silence, the group of students seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. The previously frowning Ma Dong instantly transformed into a superman. Having inherited the super agility genes of the Assassin Clan, he rushed to the front of everyone. "Metal-eating Ants and whatnot! This brother loves them the most!"
Within the spacious dissection room, seven or eight beauties were already waiting for them.
Waiting alongside them were over a dozen Sahara Metal-eating Ants. They were the size of puppies, and their bodies were covered with densely packed appendages. They were currently neatly arranged on their respective experiment tables. Some of their appendages would occasionally twitch and throb. These mutated organisms were all precious materials. Even the lowest ranked mutated organisms could produce dimensional crystals. This was currently the most important resource and was related to many rune technologies. Transporting these items could only be done via armored railways. Regardless of whether it was the body itself or the transportation fee, it was extremely expensive. Only with Professor Saul's name would it be easy to obtain these items.
Professor Saul casually said, "Everyone, please distribute yourselves. Two people to a group."
"Student Scarlet, choose me. I'm the best at dissection!"
"Senior Milami, this brother's nickname is Tianjing's Dissection Knife. I've fished out all kinds of insects and birds. Choose me. This will definitely be an unforgettable dissection lesson for the rest of your life!"
A large group of male students were doing their best to show off. However, Ma Dong had already hugged Milami's thigh. With snot and tears streaming down his face, he said, "Senior, please don't. You guys are too cruel. Seeing these pitiful little things lying on the operation table with their ice-cold bodies twitching weakly … Senior, I'm afraid …"
