The appearance of Yun Ming and the others was merely a small interlude for everyone; soon, they followed Teacher Shen Yi to the Spirit Tool area.
Under Teacher Shen Yi's guidance, the group passed through several metallic sensor doors filled with a sci-fi flair and flickering with a cool pale blue light, arriving at a vast, almost exaggerated area—the Spirit Tool Research and Exhibition Center.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng were both filled with curiosity. Because of the emergence of Spirit Tools, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had essentially lost the wealth that could rival a nation back in the Douluo I era. Spirit Tools were more expensive, but unfortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School failed to grasp this opportunity. Like traditional Spirit Masters, they resisted new things and mostly accepted Hidden Weapons from the Tang Sect.
However, the Tang Sect had declined, and one could even say it had been wiped out, so they no longer provided Hidden Weapons.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao was also staring intently at his surroundings. His understanding of Spirit Tools was currently limited to descriptions in books.
Although he knew these things were powerful, actually seeing such a large-scale, high-tech research center instantly ignited his thirst for knowledge.
Teacher Shen Yi stopped, turned around to look at the group of curious children, and her lips curled up slightly.
"This is one of the most core areas of Shrek Academy."
"Next, I will introduce several main types of Spirit Tools to you."
As she spoke, Teacher Shen Yi walked to a cylindrical glass display case.
Inside the glass case lay a strangely shaped short blade.
The entire blade had an eerie translucent feel; one half was as deep blue as deep-sea ice, while the other half was as crimson as molten fire. Two completely different attributes intertwined on that small blade, forming circles of strange spiral patterns.
"First, I will introduce attack-type Spirit Tools to you."
Teacher Shen Yi tapped her finger, and a line of holographic text appeared above the display case.
"Its name is the 'Icefire Meteor Blade'."
"An eighth-rank melee attack Spirit Tool, weighing fifty kilograms. Its core formation was personally designed by the Dean. Its characteristic is simple... double-attribute attacks."
"As long as Spirit Power is injected, it instantly erupts with a dual impact of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire, greatly enhancing a Spirit Master's combat capability. However, because its energy density is too high and its weight has reached fifty kilograms, it requires at least a four-ring level Spirit Master."
As soon as Teacher Shen Yi finished speaking, a series of sharp intakes of breath sounded from the surroundings.
A single weapon can directly trigger two types of attribute attacks? Isn't this too heaven-defying?
One must know that in the entire Douluo Continent, a Spirit Master possessing one ultimate attribute is already quite powerful and would not be over-described as a genius.
But now, a Spirit Tool can actually contain two ultimate attributes at once—how are Spirit Masters with ultimate attributes supposed to survive?
Furthermore... it's an eighth-rank Spirit Tool. An eighth-rank Spirit Tool can be used by a level forty Spirit Master, and its weight is only fifty kilograms. If they possessed it when they were at the four-ring stage, fighting across levels would be far too easy!
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up when he heard the fifty kilograms. If it were his former self, he definitely wouldn't be able to lift this thing, but after this period of special training with Senior Mu Ye, his physique had undergone a World-shaking transformation.
His physical fitness had finally caught up!
Now, he could completely lift this short blade.
Huo Yuhao also happened to feel that he lacked powerful attack methods; his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul currently only served a supportive role.
If he had such an attack-type Spirit Tool in hand, combined with his Spiritual Detection, how much would his combat power increase?It was just a pity... his Spirit Power level was still a bit lacking after all, and he couldn't yet unleash the full power of this treasure.
Moreover... the Contribution Points required for this Spirit Tool would definitely not be low.
He must forge a Spirit Tool that fits him perfectly.
Teacher Shen Yi seemed to see the shock of the young boys and girls, but she didn't stop. Instead, she led everyone to the next exhibition area.
It was an exquisite object that looked like a bracer, silver-white all over, engraved with dense, hair-like runes.
"Next is a defense-type Spirit Tool."
"Its name is the 'Apocalypse Holy Shield Bracer'."
"A ninth-rank defense Spirit Tool. It has two modes: when used actively, by consuming the user's Spirit Power, it can instantly condense an all-around protective shield. The resilience of this shield can withstand damage five times greater than one's own strongest attack power!"
"And its most special feature is the passive trigger mode. If you encounter an irresistible fatal blow, it will instantly burn the core energy stored inside to force-bear one strike... from a Limit Douluo for you!"
"Boom—!"
Everyone's minds suddenly went blank.
What did Teacher Shen Yi just say?
A strike from a Limit Douluo?
That is the ceiling of combat power in this World, the strongest existence below the gods!
With this thing, doesn't it mean having an extra life?
The existence of such a thing simply violates the common sense of the Spirit Master's world.
Ning Tian's breathing became rapid; she had never heard of any defense Spirit Tool that could be powerful to this extent.
Teacher Shen Yi looked at everyone's stunned expressions, smiled, and walked with light steps to the final area.
Placed here was a small crystal sphere emitting a soft white light. The crystal sphere floated in mid-air, slowly rotating on its own.
"Finally, a support system Spirit Tool."
"This piece is called the 'Mobile Fountain'."
"It has only one function: recovery. It can directly take a Super Douluo who is near exhaustion... and instantly refill their Spirit Power and physical strength!"
"..."
Everyone was shocked again. How vast is the total Spirit Power of a Super Douluo?
If it can be refilled instantly, it will have an unexpected effect in battle!
"Now, you should all have some understanding of Spirit Tools, right?"
"In Spirit Master combat, the emergence of Spirit Tools has already changed the traditional way Spirit Masters fight. The mechas shown earlier are also Spirit Tools in a sense. The appearance of Spirit Tools allows even some Spirit Masters with weaker Spirits to make up for their own deficiencies."
"Whether it's offense, defense, supplies, or even flight, Spirit Tools can provide comprehensive supplementation."
Wang Dong'er also nodded, her heart filled with shock. She hadn't expected that these Spirit Tools, which used to give her a headache just hearing about them, were actually this powerful.
Especially that defense-type Spirit Tool, which could actually block a strike from a Limit Douluo. If it were an ordinary Spirit Master facing a strike from a Limit Douluo, they could probably only wait for death. But now, if they have a Spirit Tool, the result will be different.
Even in a battle between experts of the same level, a single move could determine victory or defeat!
Huo Yuhao's resolve to become a Soul Engineer grew even firmer in his heart!
