"The challenge of the Soul Spirit Pagoda is not limited to solo attempts."
"To simulate real team collaboration for Spirit Masters, and to increase everyone's clear rate, the Soul Spirit Pagoda allows team challenges."
Teacher Shen Yi held up seven fingers and gestured:
"A maximum of seven people per group."
"As long as you can form a team with good coordination, the higher the level you can reach in the tower, and naturally, the better the quality of the Spirit Soul you can obtain."
"Team up?!"
Upon hearing these two words, Wang Dong'er and Xi'er's eyes lit up instantly.
The two looked at each other and, almost without any hesitation, said in unison:
"Then we will participate in the tower challenge!"
"Yuhao, what about you?"
Teacher Shen Yi's gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao fell into silence.He lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought, but in reality, he was consulting the Skydream Ice Worm.
"Oh my goodness! What should we do now?"
The Skydream Ice Worm was pacing anxiously in the Sea of Consciousness, its chubby body twisting like a pretzel.
"This damn academy... how does it have everything?!"
"Now it's ruined; the excuse of going to the Extreme North Land to hunt a Spirit Beast for the second Spirit Ring is completely unusable!"
The Skydream Ice Worm was so conflicted.Its original plan was so perfect!
Once Huo Yuhao reached level 20, it would trick him into going to the Extreme North Land, claiming it was to find a Spirit Beast suitable for his mental attribute, but in reality, it was to take him to find its own love... oh no, to find that Ice Jade Empress Scorpion with the Ultimate Ice attribute—the Ice Empress!
As long as it could trick the Ice Empress into becoming Huo Yuhao's second Spirit, Huo Yuhao's potential would absolutely take off!
But now...
The academy had practically spoon-fed him!
Right here in the school, right there in that tower, he could obtain a Spirit Soul that possessed intelligence and could assist in battle!
With these conditions, who wouldn't be confused?
If Huo Yuhao insisted on leaving the school to go to that godforsaken Extreme North Land at this time, wouldn't that be like having a brain disease? It would definitely arouse the teachers' suspicions!
Seeing Huo Yuhao's hesitant expression, Teacher Shen Yi seemed to see through his concerns.
She thought Huo Yuhao was worried about the quality of the artificial Spirit Souls.
After all, in traditional thinking, "artificial" things are generally not as good as "natural" ones.
Thus, Teacher Shen Yi smiled and explained:
"Yuhao, are you worried about the strength of the artificial Spirit Souls?"
"Actually, a long time ago, when Spirit Tool technology first started to venture into this field, such problems did indeed exist."
"Those were the first generation of artificial Spirit Souls."
"Although they could increase their age as the Spirit Master's strength improved, compared to Spirit Rings obtained by directly hunting Spirit Beasts, the Spirit abilities they granted were indeed slightly weaker in terms of power." (Wu Changkong had said so)
"But!"
"This problem has been completely solved by our Dean Lin Feng!"
"The Spirit Souls in the Soul Spirit Pagoda now are all the latest generation, which have been improved."
"The Spirit Ring energy they provide is extremely pure, and the power of the Spirit abilities they grant is not only not weaker than those from wild Spirit Beasts, but they even have higher compatibility!"
"Moreover, because they possess intelligence, what they can do in battle is far more than just a rigid Spirit Ability."
The Skydream Ice Worm listened in a daze.
The Skydream Ice Worm was completely out of ideas; it also wanted to give Huo Yuhao a complete transformation, and after merging with the Ice Empress, he could even obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
However, without an excuse, there was no way to leave this academy, and besides... the Skydream Ice Worm had its own selfish motives for going to the Extreme North Land. If it made Huo Yuhao take risks for its own selfish motives and Huo Yuhao found out, he would definitely harbor resentment.
The Skydream Ice Worm estimated that the Ice Empress's great tribulation was less than a hundred years away, which was enough time for Huo Yuhao to grow. With the cultivation of this school, the danger for Huo Yuhao to obtain his second Spirit would be greatly reduced by then.
Of course, the Skydream Ice Worm was also unwilling to let anyone know that it could give Huo Yuhao a second Spirit at this time. Otherwise, if the people in this academy found out, they might capture it for research. Although this school seemed quite humane, the Skydream Ice Worm, having struggled for many years, could not completely trust them.
"It's okay, Yuhao, agree to it. When you become stronger, it will be safer for us to go to the Extreme North Land."
After receiving the reply from the Skydream Ice Worm, Huo Yuhao also gave his answer to Teacher Shen Yi: he would participate in the Soul Beast Tower challenge.
...
Inside the Dean's Office.
Lin Feng was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A knock on the door sounded.
"Enter."
The door was pushed open, and a slender, upright figure walked in.
It was a man who looked to be about thirty years old, with a handsome and resolute face, wearing a simple white robe, yet it could not hide the terrifying aura that seemed capable of supporting the heavens and the earth.
Qingtian Douluo, Yun Ming!
The peerless powerhouse in "Legend of the Dragon King" known as "supporting the clouds and sky above, exploring the netherworld below," who single-handedly withstood two Level 12 fixed-set Spirit Tool shells and preserved the seeds of hope for Shrek Academy!
"Dean."
Yun Ming walked behind Lin Feng and bowed slightly.
"Did you call for me?"
"Yes, Yun Ming, I have something I need you to do."
"Please instruct me, Dean."
"I want you to make a trip to the Extreme North Land."
Lin Feng said indifferently.
"The Extreme North Land?"
Yun Ming was slightly stunned, but did not ask further.
"That's right."
Lin Feng flipped his wrist, and a Spirit Tool emitting extreme cold appeared in his hand.
It was a specially made Storage Soul Tool; even with the seal isolating it, the surrounding air temperature dropped by several degrees instantly, and it even felt as if space itself had been frozen.
"Inside this, it is filled with Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow."
Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Ice Marrow is a supreme treasure for ice-attribute Spirit Beasts and Spirit Masters! It is a divine object condensed from the purest cold ice essence in the world!
Such a full Storage Soul Tool...This generosity is simply terrifyingly huge!
"Take this."
Lin Feng handed the Storage Soul Tool to Yun Ming.
"Go to the Extreme North Land, find the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress there, and invite them to be guests at our Shrek Academy."
"Yes!"
Yun Ming did not ask anything more. After receiving the instructions, he transformed into a stream of light and left the place.
Lin Feng was also calculating that both the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress would face a terrifying heavenly tribulation, and neither was confident in surviving it. If it followed the trajectory of the original work, one would be taken by the Sun Moon Empire, and the other would become Huo Yuhao's second Spirit, which was not what Lin Feng wanted.
Because dead things cannot drop gold coins, even intelligent Spirit Rings are the same. Just like the Skydream Ice Worm; Huo Yuhao has been here for so long, and yet it hasn't dropped a single gold coin.
In order to fleece more wool, Lin Feng naturally had his own considerations.
As for Yun Ming heading to the Extreme North Land, Lin Feng did not need to worry, because Tang San could not detect Yun Ming's movements. Unless he descended to the mortal world himself, Tang San wouldn't be able to detect any of the characters provided by the system.
And if a fight broke out, even the three great kings of the Extreme North combined probably wouldn't be enough to fight Yun Ming.
