Before long, Du Weilun returned.
At the same time, another person came with him.
Yan Shaozhe!
When Zhu Ziyang and the other two saw Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun walk into the office, they instinctively stood up, looked at him, and called out, "Hello, Dean Yan!"
"Hello, everyone!" Yan Shaozhe said to the three with a kind smile, "Children, congratulations on winning the Freshman Assessment! You are all excellent, especially you, Zhu Ziyang, you are the most talented student I have ever met! You will be the future of Shrek Academy!"
Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, all three of them showed excited smiles. Regardless of how genuine Zhu Ziyang's smile was, Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya's emotions were absolutely on point.
"Thank you for your praise, we will definitely continue to work hard!" The three respectfully replied in unison.
"Alright, Weilun, bring out their rewards." Yan Shaozhe said to Du Weilun, his eyes filled with a smile.
"Yes!" Du Weilun replied, and with a flash of light from the Spirit tool ring on his hand, three small jade bottles appeared in his hand, which he then handed to Yan Shaozhe.
Yan Shaozhe took the three jade bottles, and then also took out a dark leather pouch from his sleeve. Seeing that pouch, Zhu Ziyang's eyes flickered—a Spirit Bone pouch!
Yan Shaozhe did not notice the change in Zhu Ziyang's expression. He nonchalantly placed the three jade bottles and the dark brocade pouch together, pushing them in front of Zhu Ziyang and the other two.
He said, "These are your rewards. These are three Soul Ascension Pills, a type of elixir that can cleanse the meridians, refine the marrow, and enhance spirit power. For those of you who only have two and three spirit rings, the Soul Ascension Pill should be able to increase your spirit power by one to two levels."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang and the other two immediately showed joy, their gazes fixed on the three jade porcelain bottles, full of longing. What Spirit Master wouldn't love something that could increase spirit power? Especially such a precious elixir that could directly raise a level!
Although Zhu Ziyang himself could refine pills, at least for now, he couldn't refine a pill with special value like the Soul Ascension Pill, due to both his ability and the materials.
"Haha! Children, don't be in a hurry, you still have another reward." Yan Shaozhe looked at their reactions, smiled, and said, "This is also your reward, why don't you open it and take a look."
Zhu Ziyang took the dark Spirit Bone pouch, already guessing what was inside. Without a doubt, it was a Spirit Bone, but he wasn't sure which part of the body it was. A Spirit Bone given as a reward by Shrek Academy would certainly not be an ordinary one. Zhu Ziyang opened the pouch in his hand with anticipation.
A cluster of dark black light drilled out, silently suspended in mid-air under everyone's gaze.
This was a small and exquisite bone, emitting a faint dark glow, with hints of silver radiance at the edges of the dark light, a profound yet somewhat dreamlike beauty.
"It's really a Spirit Bone!" Tang Ya couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes filled with shock and excitement.
Jiang Nannan's reaction was no different from Tang Ya's, except she didn't cry out. But the shock and excitement in her eyes were no less than Tang Ya's, even filled with a more naked desire. She felt that her body seemed to intensely crave this Spirit Bone!
"That's right, it's a Spirit Bone." Yan Shaozhe said with a normal expression. He observed the expressions of Zhu Ziyang and the other two. Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya's reactions were within his expectations. However, Zhu Ziyang's reaction, which he paid the most attention to, made him even more satisfied with this exceptionally talented young man. He said, "Your talent and performance have made the Academy, to be precise, made me, very satisfied. Therefore, I decided to give you a Spirit Bone as a reward. I will introduce this Spirit Bone to you, and then how to distribute it will be decided by the three of you. However, although Spirit Bones are precious, I hope you do not let it affect your friendship. As core disciples of Shrek Academy, there will be many more opportunities to obtain Spirit Bones."
"This Spirit Bone was specially chosen by me for you. It does not have obvious directional restrictions and is a general-purpose Spirit Bone. attack system, agility-attack system, and control system can all use it. This Spirit Bone comes from a five-thousand-year-old Moon Shadow Rabbit. It is a Right Leg Bone. After fusion, the Spirit Master's speed will increase, and they will also gain an attribute-boosting Spirit Ability."
"It's yours now. This Spirit Bone pouch is also yours, to conceal the Spirit Bone's aura. After all, wealth moves hearts, and one must guard against others. You must also keep it a secret yourselves. At the same time, you must also keep the academy's reward of Spirit Bones a secret for the academy, do you understand?!"
"Moon Shadow Rabbit!" Listening to Yan Shaozhe's introduction, both Zhu Ziyang and Tang Ya couldn't help but look at Jiang Nannan, and a strong look of longing appeared on Jiang Nannan's pretty face.
"What's wrong?" Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun noticed the change in their expressions and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Nannan's first spirit ring is also from a Moon Shadow Rabbit." Tang Ya said with a strange expression, because the probability of encountering a Spirit Bone originating from the same source as one's spirit ring is not much different from the probability of Spirit Bones appearing at all.
"Is that so!" Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun were also surprised. They couldn't help but exchange glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, because this Spirit Bone was actually specially prepared by Yan Shaozhe for Zhu Ziyang, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a coincidence. Compared to Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan was clearly more suitable to fuse with this Spirit Bone.
This makes things a bit difficult now.
For ordinary Spirit Masters, all Spirit Bones are undoubtedly precious.
However, there are also quality differences between Spirit Bones. This difference, of course, does not come from the Spirit Bone's age, part, or Spirit Ability, but from its compatibility with the Spirit Master. This compatibility arises from various complex reasons. In general, this compatibility provides Spirit Masters with a reference when choosing Spirit Bones. According to the level of compatibility, Spirit Bones can be divided into three tiers. The highest compatibility tier is naturally Spirit Bones that originate from the same Spirit Beast as the spirit ring. The next tier includes Spirit Bones that originate from the same type of Spirit Beast as the spirit ring, Spirit Bones that originate from the same type of Spirit Beast as the Spirit, and Spirit Bones that originate from Spirit Beasts with the same bloodline as the Spirit Master. These three types of Spirit Bones are respectively called spirit ring Homologous Spirit Bones, Spirit Homologous Spirit Bones, and Bloodline Homologous Spirit Bones. The lowest tier consists of other types of Spirit Bones.
"Student Jiang Nannan, can you tell me what your first Spirit Ability is?" A thoughtful look flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes, then he looked at Jiang Nannan, smiling, and asked.
"Y-yes." Jiang Nannan paused, then replied, "My first Spirit Ability is called Moon Shadow Body. After using it, my speed doubles."
"Oh!" Yan Shaozhe showed a look of sudden realization, pondering silently. He looked left and right at Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan, and Tang Ya, then said, "Then I, this old man, will be the bad guy today. This Spirit Bone will be given to Jiang Nannan. After all, it's not easy to encounter a Spirit Bone that originates from the same source as one's spirit ring. What do you two think?"
"Okay!" Zhu Ziyang and Tang Ya replied in unison. Zhu Ziyang had absolutely no objections, as his intention was to give this Spirit Bone to Jiang Nannan. And Tang Ya actually agreed very decisively, which made Zhu Ziyang feel even more favorably towards her.
"Brother, Xiaoya, I…" Jiang Nannan wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Zhu Ziyang.
"Nannan, no need to refuse. Even if Dean Yan didn't say so, I would still be more inclined to give this Spirit Bone to you." Zhu Ziyang smiled gently and said, "I think Xiaoya probably thinks so too."
Zhu Ziyang looked at Tang Ya, who couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, then looked at Jiang Nannan and said, "That's right, Nannan, this Spirit Bone is clearly more suitable for you. The effect of your fusion will definitely be better than if I or Zhu Ziyang fused with it, so don't refuse."
"Mm! Thank you all!" Jiang Nannan was very touched, her pretty face flushed with excitement, and she said.
Zhu Ziyang and Tang Ya's performance revealed a faint sense of relief in Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun's eyes. Yan Shaozhe's heart stirred, and he immediately had an idea. He said, "I am very pleased that you can still uphold friendship under the temptation of a Spirit Bone. Speaking of which, this Spirit Bone was my mistake. As compensation, this Spirit Bone will also be given to you!"
As Yan Shaozhe's voice fell, he actually took out another Spirit Bone pouch!
