Teacher Shen Yi's gaze swept across the faces below, which were filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
She did not choose to be mysterious, but spoke generously:
"Student Huo Yuhao, the question you asked is indeed very critical."
"As everyone knows, the Spirit Ring age that a Spirit Master can withstand mainly depends on two factors: mental force and physical strength."
As Teacher Shen Yi spoke, she extended two slender fingers.
"When a Spirit Master has just awakened their Spirit and begins to come into contact with cultivation, both their mental force and physical constitution are relatively weak."
"If one forcibly absorbs a Spirit Ring that exceeds their body's limits, the consequences range from damaged meridians to exploding and dying."
"Therefore, according to common knowledge in the Spirit Master's world, the first spirit ring usually selects a hundred-year yellow Spirit Ring; this is the safest approach."
The students below nodded one after another. This was almost a mandatory piece of knowledge for every Spirit Master beginner. Even Huo Yuhao, who had been a servant in the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, knew this well.
"In fact, some Spirit Masters with weaker innatephysiques can only settle for the next best thing for their first spirit ring and choose a ten-year white Spirit Ring."
"This is also the reason why the first two Spirit Ring configurations for the vast majority of Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent today are basically yellow."
Speaking up to this point, Teacher Shen Yi changed the subject, a flash of memory appearing in her eyes.
"Actually, not long ago, my first and second Spirit Rings were the same as what everyone knows—both were hundred-year yellow Spirit Rings."
As soon as these words were spoken, the classroom was in an uproar.
"What?!"
"They were originally yellow too?"
"Then... then what about the purple first spirit ring we just saw?"
"Can Spirit Rings really have their age increased?"
Except for Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and others who already knew the inside story and remained calm, the rest of the students stared with wide eyes, their faces full of disbelief.
Even Wang Donger was no exception.
As the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, she had seen quite a lot, but she had never heard of a Spirit Ring changing color after being absorbed. This was simply unheard of!
"Everyone, no need to be so surprised."
Looking at the shocked expressions of the crowd, Teacher Shen Yi seemed very satisfied with this effect and continued to explain:
"This brings us to a core technology unique to our Shrek Academy—"
Teacher Shen Yi's voice raised slightly, and she said word by word: "Spirit Ascension Platform!"
"Spirit Ascension Platform?"
This unfamiliar term echoed in the classroom. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
Everyone was basically confused. They had never seen any records of something called the "Spirit Ascension Platform" in any ancient books or materials about Spirit Masters.
However... Teacher Shen Yi also said that this was a core technology of Shrek Academy, so it was normal for them not to know.
"That's right, the Spirit Ascension Platform." Teacher Shen Yi nodded.
"It is a virtual space constructed using extremely advanced Spirit Guidance technology."
"In this space, we can simulate all kinds of environments, as well as... Spirit Beasts of various ages."
Speaking to this point, a hint of fanaticism flashed in Teacher Shen Yi's eyes.
"And the most magical thing about the Spirit Ascension Platform is that when you kill those simulated Spirit Beasts inside, they will emit a special kind of energy."
"This energy can be absorbed by the Spirit Master's Spirit Ring."
"As long as enough energy is absorbed, the Spirit Ring's age will constantly increase!"
"In other words..."
Teacher Shen Yi took a deep breath, looked at the little ones below who had completely petrified, and spoke slowly:
"Here, we can upgrade hundred-year Spirit Rings to thousand-year, thousand-year Spirit Rings to ten-thousand-year, or even... hundred-thousand-year!"
"Boom—"
At this moment, the air in the classroom froze.
Immediately after, an unprecedented exclamation erupted.
"Upgrade Spirit Ring age?!"
"This... how is this possible?!"
"This is too heaven-defying, right? If this is really the case, wouldn't everyone be able to possess a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring?"
Everyone felt that their worldview had been completely overturned. Once a Spirit Ring is absorbed, it is fixed; this has been an iron law in the Spirit Master's world for tens of thousands of years.
Except for hearing that participating in the trials of gods can increase Spirit Ring age, they had never heard of any other method. Of course, even the god trials were just hearsay. After all... ever since Tang San and the others ascended, no one had heard of anyone becoming a god.
But now, Teacher Shen Yi told them that this iron law did not exist at all in this academy!
Just killing Spirit Beasts can upgrade Spirit Rings?
This is simply even more maddening than that so-called battle armor!
Huo Yuhao felt his heart pounding, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.
No wonder... no wonder Teacher Shen Yi's Spirit Ring configuration was so monstrous!
No wonder Dean Lin's Spirit Rings were all hundred-thousand-year ones!
So the secret was here!
This academy was simply a huge treasure!
Everyone present was extremely excited!
Who wouldn't want to become as strong as possible?
[Ding!]
[Detected that the Child of Destiny Huo Yuhao's recognition of Shrek Academy is a Monster Academy has increased!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Full set of technology for ten-year to ten-thousand-year artificial soul spirits!]
Meanwhile, Wang Donger, who was sitting by the window, also took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart.
An academy that could possess such heaven-defying technology must have unfathomable strength and foundation! Staying here was definitely the most correct decision she had ever made in her life!
[Detected that key character Wang Donger's recognition of Shrek Academy is a Monster Academy has increased significantly!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Ten intermediate Spirit Ascension Platforms!]
On the other side, Xiao Xiao's little face flushed red, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. As expected, her decision was not wrong!
She had originally thought that the school's entrance gift package given yesterday was everything, but she didn't expect that the big surprise was still to come!
Thinking about her own Spirit Rings changing from yellow to purple, or even black or red, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel incredibly excited.
[Detected that key character Xiao Xiao's recognition of Shrek Academy is a Monster Academy has increased significantly!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Ten yellow-grade mechas!]
[Detected that ordinary character Xi'er's recognition of Shrek Academy is a Monster Academy has increased!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Ten artificial soul spirit technicians!]
...
A series of system notification sounds rang in Lin Feng's mind, which was quite wonderful. This wool-gathering was truly satisfying; sitting in the office without doing anything, the rewards just came.
However... this was just the beginning. According to the teaching process, Teacher Shen Yi should only be introducing that Spirit Ring age can be increased right now; the most important soul spirit hasn't even started to be introduced yet.
