Inside the Dean's Office.
Lin Feng's gaze fell upon the reward he had just obtained: the Thunderclap Netherworld Vine!
This was a truly top-tier existence among plant-type Spirit Beasts, one could even call it the "God of Destruction" of the plant kingdom!
"The legendary plant-type Spirit Beast possessing the bloodline of the Thunder God..."
Lin Feng murmured to himself, his fingers lightly tapping on the desk.
This kind of Spirit Beast possessed extremely high intelligence from birth, and its cultivation method was incredibly overbearing, requiring it to constantly devour the power of thunder to increase its cultivation.
But precisely because of this, they were feared and suppressed by the Master of the Douluo Plane.
In the history of the Douluo Continent, almost all Thunderclap Netherworld Vines found it difficult to break through the fifty-thousand-year mark; these Spirit Beasts would often perish between twenty thousand and fifty thousand years.
A hundred-thousand-year one was even more impossible. One must know that in the original work, Tang Wulin's Thunderclap Netherworld Vine only broke through the hundred-thousand-year limit after becoming his Spirit Soul and relying on Tang Wulin's protection.
But now...
The system had directly given him a finished product!
A complete form!
"However..."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and did not immediately release this weapon of mass destruction.
Although the Thunderclap Netherworld Vine was powerful, it required a specific growth environment—thunder.
If he didn't provide enough thunder power for it to devour, putting it outside would be a waste of its talent, and it might even degenerate due to energy depletion.
"It seems I'll have to set up a Thunder Pond."
Lin Feng rubbed his chin and temporarily left the Thunderclap Netherworld Vine in the system space.
Having dealt with the rewards, Lin Feng's gaze fell back onto an experimental report in front of him.
It was about the Skydream Ice Worm. Lin Feng was quite curious about how a Skydream Ice Worm could grant someone a second Spirit. (Huo Yuhao will have a second Spirit, but as for what it is, it won't be revealed for now.)
...
Outer Court, First-Year Freshman Classroom.
Click, click, click.
The crisp sound of high heels approached.
The classroom door was pushed open, and Teacher Shen Yi walked in with a lesson plan, her steps elegant.
Behind her followed two slightly restrained figures.
It was precisely Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
At this time, the two had already changed into the specially made Shrek Academy school uniforms.
Currently, both of their faces showed a bit more caution; clearly, the previous blow had been far too great for them.
Teacher Shen Yi walked up to the podium and tapped on the blackboard.
"Today, two new classmates have joined our class."
Teacher Shen Yi pointed to the two behind her and introduced them with a smile.
"This is Ning Tian, a Level 29 support system Battle Spirit Master, Spirit: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"This is Wu Feng, a Level 23 Attack System Battle Spirit Master, Spirit: Red Dragon."
"From today onwards, they are members of our first-year class. Everyone, please welcome them with applause."
Clap, clap, clap—
Applause rang out from below the podium.
Sitting in the back row, Huo Yuhao looked at the two on stage, unable to help feeling a bit emotional.
"That's good..."
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been terrible if Ning Tian and her companion hadn't been able to enter the academy because of the two of them.
Of course, if they hadn't been able to pass the ninth trial, they absolutely could not have entered. The other trials were relatively superficial, but the ninth trial was the most important, ensuring Lin Feng wouldn't nurture any ungrateful ingrates.
After introducing the new students, Teacher Shen Yi signaled for the two to find empty seats.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng lowered their heads and quickly walked to empty seats in the corner of the classroom, not daring to make eye contact with Huo Yuhao and the others the entire time.
"Alright, next we will begin the lesson."
"Before that, I need to explain a core system of our academy to everyone in detail."
Teacher Shen Yi turned around and wrote three large characters on the blackboard.
Contribution Points!
"I briefly mentioned this to you during enrollment."
"But at that time, your understanding of Contribution Points might have been limited to 'tickets to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform'."
Teacher Shen Yi's gaze swept across the room.
"From now on, I will specifically tell you about the ways to obtain Contribution Points, as well as the ways to consume them."
As Teacher Shen Yi spoke, she took out a silver-white metal box from her Storage Soul Tool.
The box opened, and inside were dozens of silver bracelets arranged neatly.
These bracelets had a simple and smooth design, the whole body emitting a faint metallic luster, with a ring of faint blue light slowly pulsating on the surface, full of a sense of technology.
"This is the Personal Terminal Bracelet newly developed by the academy."
Teacher Shen Yi picked up a bracelet and showed it to everyone.
"It integrates various functions such as identity identification, communication, contribution point recording, task acceptance, and resource exchange."
"Now, everyone come up and take one."
Soon, the bracelets were distributed.
Ning Tian took the bracelet; it felt slightly cool to the touch and had an excellent texture.
She tentatively injected Spirit Power into it.
"Beep—"
The bracelet vibrated slightly, and immediately following that, a faint blue light screen projected from above the bracelet, floating in front of her.
[Name: Ning Tian]
[Grade: First Year]
[Spirit: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda]
[Level: Level 29]
[Contribution Points: 0]
[Permission Level: Level 1 Student]
This...
Ning Tian's eyes widened. Was it this detailed?
"Now, click on the 'Exchange Mall' on your light screen."
Teacher Shen Yi's voice rang out again.
"The resources in this mall are shared by the whole school."
"However, the system will intelligently recommend the most suitable resources for you based on your Spirit's characteristics, cultivation direction, and current physical condition, and arrange them at the very front."
"This is the individualized teaching of our Shrek Academy."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao and the others were also full of curiosity and clicked on the Exchange Mall one after another.
Ning Tian took a deep breath, extended her finger, and lightly tapped the light screen.
Swish—
The list refreshed.
When Ning Tian clearly saw the image and name of the item ranked first on her exchange list...
Her breathing instantly stopped.
"This... this..."
Ning Tian's pupils contracted sharply, and her body began to tremble slightly.
It was a flower, and below the image were five large characters!
[Qi Luo Tulip]!
"Qi... Qi Luo Tulip?!"
Ning Tian's voice was trembling.
As the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, how could she not recognize this Immortal Herb?!
This was the divine object recorded in the Sect's ancient texts that could allow the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
It was the peerless Immortal Herb that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had sought for ten thousand years, longed for for ten thousand years, but could never obtain!
Ten thousand years ago, it was precisely because the ancestor Ning Rongrong consumed it that she broke the shackles of her Spirit and achieved the Divine Origin of the Nine Colored Goddess!
This academy actually had even this? One must know that their Sect had exerted all its efforts to search but had not found a single one!
"Te... Teacher..."
Ning Tian tremblingly raised her hand, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
"What is it, Ning Tian?"
Teacher Shen Yi turned her head and asked gently, looking at Ning Tian, whose face was flushed and expression was excited.
"This... this ...Qiluo Tulip"
Ning Tian pointed at the light screen, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked cautiously:
"Is this... also available for exchange?"
"Does it really exist?"
"Of course."
Teacher Shen Yi nodded, her tone calm.
"In the exchange list, as long as the icon is lit, it means the academy warehouse has it in stock."
"You can exchange for it at any time."
"Of course, provided you have enough Contribution Points."
"It's... in stock?!"
Receiving an affirmative answer, Ning Tian felt her breathing become labored.
She lowered her head again, staring fixedly at that icon.
It was lit!
It was actually lit!
"Huff... huff..."
Ning Tian's breathing instantly became incredibly heavy, her chest heaving violently.
It really exists!
In this academy, there really was a Qiluo Tulip!
And it was available for exchange!
At this moment, the humiliation of being expelled previously, the frustration of being insta-killed by Huo Yuhao...None of it was important anymore!
Even if she had to work like a beast of burden here, even if she had to pay any price!
As long as she could get this qi luo tulip, as long as she could let her Spirit evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda...
"I... must obtain it!"
Ning Tian clenched her fists, her eyes burning with an unprecedented, raging fire.
Beside her, Wu Feng was also filled with surprise. This was the kind of school they should have come to. What on earth was that Counterfeit Shrek Academy from before? After entering, it didn't provide them with any resources at all; it just made them run to train their bodies. Moreover, regarding the knowledge learned, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a Sect that had been passed down for such a long time; how could they not understand it? Did they need to find an academy to teach them?
But now... this qi luo tulip, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really didn't have it!
They had come to the right place!
