...
Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform hall, as time passed, the golden light on the students gradually faded.
The process of fusing the golden pearl was quite easy for everyone.
After all, the Mental Force contained within the golden pearl was not berserk; on the contrary, it was quite gentle, like a trickling stream, silently nourishing their Sea of Consciousness.
" Whew... "
Huo Yuhao was the first to open his eyes.
In that instant, a brilliant golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
It had changed. The entire World had changed.
Although the group didn't have a very specific understanding of what Mental Force actually was, nor had they systematically cultivated it.
However, after fusing with the golden pearl, their most intuitive feeling was—clarity.
Their sensory abilities had become stronger!
It wasn't just vision and hearing; even the processing speed of their brains seemed to have become more agile.
Their entire train of thought had also become clearer.
Immediately after, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and the others woke up one after another.
"Goodness... " Wang Dong'er looked at her hands in surprise, then looked around: " I feel... even without releasing my Spirit, I can perceive the flow trajectory of the surrounding Spirit Power."
"Isn't this too magical? " Xiao Xiao was also full of excitement.
Looking at the pleasantly surprised expressions of the group, Teacher Shen Yi smiled slightly and explained: "That is correct."
"In the cultivation system of a Spirit Master, Mental Force is often an overlooked link."
"Except for Spirit-type Soul Master like Huo Yuhao, most people probably haven't deliberately improved their Mental Force."
"Therefore, this golden pearl counts as a small entrance gift from the academy to help you make up for this lesson."
Speaking of this, Teacher Shen Yi pointed to the silver virtual pods behind her, her tone becoming serious: " Of course, this is not just for fun."
"Improving Mental Force has a crucial role for you entering the Spirit Ascension Platform next."
"The age of a Spirit Ring is related to the physical strength and mental strength of a Spirit Master, but there is no way to improve physical strength that quickly for the time being."
"Therefore..."
"As you are now, entering the Spirit Ascension Platform is just to take a look and experience it."
"Later, when killing Spirit Beast and absorbing energy, you must act according to your capabilities and pay attention to the saturation of energy."
"You must not be greedy; do not absorb too much."
"Otherwise, it will cause great harm to your body, and may even leave behind indelible sequelae."
Teacher Shen Yi's expression was very serious; it was clear she was not joking.
"Rest assured, Teacher Shen, we have a sense of proportion! " Xie Xie waved his fist, full of confidence.
"It is best if that is the case." Teacher Shen Yi smiled, then threw out a message that made everyone feel more at ease: "To prevent accidents, this time, teacher will also go in with you."
"Although I will not directly intervene to help you hunt Spirit Beast, I will watch over you from the shadows to ensure your safety."
"Alright, let's start grouping now. " Teacher Shen Yi clapped her hands: "The rules of the Spirit Ascension Platform are team cooperation."
"According to the number of people in our class, this time, the grouping will be four people per team."
"Now, group freely!"
As Teacher Shen Yi's voice fell, the hall immediately became lively.
"Donger! Let's be in a group!" Xiao Xiao was the first to hug Wang Dong'er's arm.
"Okay." Wang Dong'er nodded, then looked at Xi'er beside her: "Xi'er, you come along too."
"Mmh." Xi'er nodded obediently.
The three girls quickly formed a team, still missing one person.
Xu Xiaoyan looked over from the side, looking pitifully at the three, looking very much like she wanted to join.
"Um... do you want to join?" Wang Dong'er looked at Xu Xiaoyan's appearance, hesitated for a moment, then asked.
"Yes! Thank you!" Xu Xiaoyan smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Who called me?" Xie Xie looked over suddenly.
"Didn't call you."
Huo Yuhao was a little uneasy; after all, his strength was still very weak, and he didn't know who would be willing to group with him. Just at this moment, he suddenly met Tang Wulin's gaze.
"Yuhao." Just then, Tang Wulin's gentle voice rang in his ears.
Tang Wulin smiled and reached out his hand to him, issuing an invitation:
"Our team is still missing one person." "Do you want to come?"
"Me?" Huo Yuhao was shocked. He couldn't quite believe his ears.
You have to know, Tang Wulin is the class monitor! He is the fierce person who punched and blew up the whole scene in the virtual space! He is a monster who possesses a millennium Spirit Ring and can withstand Wang Dong'er's Wing Guillotine!
Such a powerful existence must have countless people fighting to group with him.
But... he actually took the initiative to invite him, a weakling who on the surface only had one ring, and it was a ten-year white Spirit Ring?
"Class monitor... are you sure?" Huo Yuhao subconsciously glanced at Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng behind Tang Wulin, and said somewhat unconfidently: "I... I am very weak."
"My First Spirit Ring is only ten-year, and my attack power is not strong..." "I'm afraid of holding you back."
Hearing this, before Tang Wulin could speak, Xie Xie on the side laughed: "Relax, I don't mind."
Wei Xiaofeng also said with an indifferent face: "Exactly, I have no objection either."
Looking at the three's sincere eyes, there was not the slightest bit of disdain or pity.
Huo Yuhao only felt his nose sour, and an indescribable warm current surged in his heart.
Is this... a partner? Even if he looked so weak, they were willing to accept him.
"Okay!" Huo Yuhao nodded heavily, and grasped Tang Wulin's extended hand: "I'll join!" "But I will try hard not to hold you back!"
"Welcome." Tang Wulin smiled brilliantly.
Grouping completed. Following Teacher Shen Yi's instructions, everyone walked to the silver virtual pods.
"Lie down and relax your body." Teacher Shen Yi's voice echoed in the hall.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and lay into the metal pod, the lid closing slowly. " Hum — — " As a slight mechanical humming sound rang out.
"Whew..." Fresh air, mixed with the fragrance of soil and the scent of plants, instantly poured into his nasal cavity.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes suddenly. What came into view was no longer the metal hall full of technological sense, but a lush forest with towering ancient trees.
"This..." Huo Yuhao squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. Moist, slightly cool, he could even feel the texture of the soil particles at his fingertips.
"Is this the virtual World?" "It's so realistic!" This was Huo Yuhao's first time entering, and the shock in his heart was beyond measure.
Teacher Shen Yi's voice rang out from thin air. "What is simulated here is the appearance of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Teacher Shen Yi looked at the students below who had never seen the World, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she threw out today's last bombshell: "By the way, I will tell you a good piece of news."
"In the Spirit Ascension Platform, when you kill Spirit Beast, not only can you obtain energy to increase the age of your Spirit Ring."
"And..." Teacher Shen Yi paused, her eyes flashing with a seductive light: "If you are lucky enough."
"The Spirit Beast here, after being killed..."
"There is a chance to drop Spirit Bone!"
"Of course, these Spirit Beast with Spirit Bone are not something you can deal with for the time being."
"What?!!!" Once these words were spoken, the crowd instantly exploded!
Everyone, including Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, widened their eyes, breathing rapidly, staring fixedly at Teacher Shen Yi in the air.
Spirit Bone?! In the outside World, even a hundred-year Spirit Bone could be sold for a sky-high price!
And here... in this Spirit Ascension Platform that seemed like a " game "...it could actually drop Spirit Bone?!
Even if it wasn't something they could defeat, but... the number of times they could enter the Spirit Ascension Platform was not just once, right? When their strength became powerful... wouldn't it be... wholesale Spirit Bone?!
And... Spirit Bone could actually be dropped, could this school actually have packed the entire Star Dou Great Forest's Spirit Beast inside?
