Chapter 172: Prize

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

‘What is the Spirit Ascension Platform?’ Lan Xuanyu did not know. But his suspicions were quickly resolved by Mu Zhongtian.

Mu Zhongtian was instantly elated upon hearing about their prizes; let alone Qian Lei’s 500 years increase in all of his Soul Rings, just Liu Feng’s 2,000 year old Soul Bone alone was enough for envy to surface in his heart. There were very few Soul Bones, and with the immense number of soul masters from the various planets in the federation, the demand for Soul Bones were naturally high. Although a two thousand year Soul Bone was not extremely powerful, the benefit of man-made Soul Bones was that its years could be upgraded in the future!

Following the advancement in soul guidance technology, man-made Soul Rings and Soul Bones could be upgraded in terms of their years, and the location to increase the number of years was Lan Xuanyu’s prize, the Spirit Ascension Platform.

In order for the Soul Rings and Soul Bones to be upgraded inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, the prerequisite is having to kill the emulated soul beasts produced inside and absorbing the energy until the individual is killed by the soul beasts. Every opportunity to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform was extremely precious and valued at an astronomical price. Further, the number of slots released by the Spirit Ascension Platform every year was extremely limited. So although Lan Xuanyu’s prize was not comparable to Liu Feng’s, it was relatively good as well. With a good amount of luck inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, the amount of years that he could earn as a prize might even surpass Qian Lei’s prize.

After hearing his explanation, the three naturally became excited, though Lan Xuanyu also felt apprehensive.

The reason for his apprehension was simple: his Soul Rings were different from others’, in that he had never merged with any Spirit Soul before. They had appeared by themselves after breaking through. But why was that? Furthermore, after gaining his second Soul Ring, the two Soul Rings turned yellow.

Qian Lei and Liu Feng had questioned him on this before, and his only reply was that his Soul Rings were close to 100-year Soul Rings and after gaining his second ring, they seemed to have touched onto a change and directly turned into 100-year Soul Rings.

It was normal for the elite junior class members to wield 100-year Soul Rings, so Qian Lei and Liu Feng never queried further.

After gaining their prizes, they left the simulated pods.

Mu Zhongtian led them straight to Yin Tianfan and Ji Hongbin, and reported the situation.

Yin Tianfan squinted his eyes. “I feel that we have to reallocate the three prizes. After gaining the Soul Bone, we shall give it to the person that is most suited for it. Do you guys have any objections to that?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Feng was startled. He looked at Lan Xuanyu and Qian Lei before replying without any hesitation, “I have none.”

It was Yin Tianfan who was stunned upon seeing Liu Feng’s straightforward reply. It was normal to be selfish! Additionally, the academy had long taught about Soul Bones, so it was impossible for Liu Feng not to know about the immense benefits of gaining Soul Bones. But he was still willing to go ahead with the possibility of giving up the Soul Bone? How could Yin Tianfan not be surprised?

“You’re really fine with it?” Ji Hongbin was equally shocked.

Liu Feng laughed. “Teacher Ji, vice president, I really am fine with it! Without my buddies, how could we have gotten first place? This prize belongs to all of us. Whoever is most suited to use the Soul Bone will take it, that way we can achieve even better results!”

Yin Tianfan stared at him, dumbstruck. “You, kid, are too sensible for your age.”

Liu Feng and Qian Lei looked at each other and laughed.

Who could possibly know what they had experienced inside the qualifiers? Compared to the two thousand year old Soul Bone, Qian Lei had given up the opportunity of early admittance into Shrek Academy. How could the prizes hold a candle to that? Although Qian Lei felt the pain, he chose to give it up. Liu Feng felt that the Soul Bone he had won was nothing compared to early admittance into Shrek Academy.

There was no need to comment on Lan Xuanyu. Without him, they would have long been eliminated from the elite junior class. Both Liu Feng and Qian Lei remembered Lan Xuanyu’s determined words at the end of the qualifiers. They also understood that they would have to rely on Lan Xuanyu to get into Shrek Academy. Otherwise, it was impossible just by relying on their own strength!

Upon thinking on such grounds, giving up a piece of Soul Bone was nothing. Furthermore, they wanted to see who was suitable for the Soul Bone.

“All of you are good kids!” Ji Hongbin exclaimed with gratification.

Yin Tianfan’s breathing was somewhat heavy. He exchanged looks with Ji Hongbin before saying, “Us old men should be bucking up as well. I’ll inform the president. We have gained the opportunity of entering the Spirit Ascension Platform. When the Heaven Luo planet selection ends, as long as they are selected and enter the top 10, I’ll use my identity and go broke to get two more slots for them so that all three of them can enter the Spirit Ascension Platform to upgrade themselves to the next realm. Qian Lei’s increase of 500 years for his Soul Rings would make him close to 1,000-year; entering the Spirit Ascension Platform once should be enough. We must ensure that they have even more confidence in getting into Shrek. What do you think?”

Ji Hongbin nodded his head. “They earned first place in the entire federation. Shrek should not be the only one giving out prizes; our Heaven Luo Academy should not be stingy either. They are already the pride of Heaven Luo. This time, we shall let those from Ling Tian see that although we Heaven Luo are behind, we can still surpass them.”

A chance for all three of them to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform?

Liu Feng suddenly felt as though his renouncement of the prize had reaped him even better rewards! For some reason, he and Qian Lei had a strange inkling that giving up on good things would bring about better luck. Giving up on something was actually so wonderful.

The prizes came in the afternoon. The slot to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform was provided as a card, while the opportunity to increase Soul Rings by 500 years was another card…

Only the Soul Bone appeared before Lan Xuanyu and his team.

Yin Tianfan, Ji Hongbin, Mu Zhongtian, as well as the trio from Dorm 333 stood inside Yin Tianfan’s office as they surrounded the table and observed the Soul Bone.

The entire Soul Bone emitted a faint silver color and resembled a human arm bone, only much smaller in size. The light from within was extremely reserved, yet held a faint sharpness to it. Upon getting close, everyone could feel a faint ache on their skins.

There was a paragraph of introduction for the Soul Bone as well:

‘The Silver Moon Wolf Right Arm bone. Extracted from the bones of the Silver Moon Wolf, it was refined through a unique adjustment. It was in the realm of 2,000 years, and the supplementary soul skill that came along was the Silver Edge. Silver Edge could be used through the user’s right arm itself or embedded into an object. Once conducted through an external object, it will form a three inch silver crescent blade that will consume Soul Power.’

Yin Tianfan frowned and then laughed. “Having a good character truly benefits you! What’s yours cannot run away. Liu Feng.”

“Yes.” Liu Feng immediately stepped forward.

Without a doubt, the right arm Soul Bone was most naturally suited for him. Silver Edge could be embedded into a weapon and naturally merged with the Martial Soul. It could perfectly coordinate with his white dragon spear and amplify his attacking lethality.

His attack potential was greatly limited by his martial soul, and his speed was unreliable, which had greatly affected his fighting capabilities. Although his situation turned for the better after gaining his second Soul Ring, the insufficient attacking power still existed, and he needed Lan Xuanyu’s support to unleash a powerful force.

With the Silver Moon Wolf right arm, everything would change. Without a doubt, the Soul Bone would greatly increase his attack potential and strength.

Yin Tianfan spoke up. “Fuse with it. We will protect you. Fusing with the 2,000 year Soul Bone will be slightly difficult with your current cultivation, but thankfully, it isn’t a wild Soul Bone; a man-made Soul Bone is much more amiable. There should be no problem completing it, as Old Ji will protect you.”

“Thank you, vice president. Thank you, Teacher Ji.”

He had modestly declined and given up on the Soul Bone, but it had returned to him. This firmly increased Liu Feng’s belief that declining modestly was a virtue and would increase his luck.

He sat cross legged and caught the Soul Bone, which Yin Tianfan threw over, but from there, he had no idea what to do. He had never merged with a Soul Bone before!
