Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened slightly, his face full of surprise and disbelief.
He had considered that Spirit Hall might use the Public Trial Assembly as an excuse to seize the Spirit Bone Shi Nian had left behind.
But he had never imagined that they intended to use it as one of the final championship rewards for this Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Ning Fengzhi could not help feeling thoroughly bewildered, his mind filled with confusion.
The Spirit Hall in his memory was not such a generous Spirit Master organization. Arrogant, overbearing, tyrannical, doing whatever they pleased, wanting everything for themselves—that was how they should have been.
Why were they different now?
Ning Fengzhi could not make sense of it.
It was not just the spectators in the stands who were astonished, nor was Ning Fengzhi the only one taken by surprise. The elite Spirit Master students from the participating academies, gathered in their designated viewing area and watching this Public Trial Assembly, were even more so.
Especially the students of the Four Elemental Academies, who had the strength to contend for a spot in the top five of the Preliminary Tournament and even a sliver of hope for the Grand Finals championship—their eyes instantly lit up.
That was a full four Spirit Bones. Across the entire Spirit Master world of Douluo Continent, there was no one who would not be tempted.
If the Elite Spirit Master Tournament had not restricted participants to young Spirit Masters under twenty-five from Advanced Spirit Master Academies, even old fossils like Title Douluo would likely have been unable to resist joining.
According to information revealed by the tournament organizers before the competition, the other three Spirit Bones serving as final championship rewards were no worse in quality or age than the Ten Thousand Year
