Technology That Can Increase Soul Ring Age? This Academy Was Definitely the Right Choice!

Shen Yi swept her gaze across the curious, eager faces below the stage. The corners of her lips lifted slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

Rather than being mysterious about it, she spoke openly.

"Huo Yuhao, the question you raised is indeed a crucial one."

"As everyone knows, the age of a soul ring that a Soul Master can withstand mainly depends on two factors: spiritual power and physical strength."

As Shen Yi spoke, she held up two slender fingers.

"When a Soul Master has just awakened their martial soul and begun cultivating, both their spiritual power and physical condition are relatively weak."

"If they forcibly absorb a soul ring beyond their body's limits, they may suffer damaged meridians at best, or explode and die at worst."

"Therefore, according to common knowledge in the Soul Master world, one's first soul ring is generally chosen as a hundred-year yellow soul ring. That is the safest approach."

The students below all nodded. This was practically foundational knowledge every Soul Master had to memorize, and even Huo Yuhao, who had once been a servant at White Tiger Duke Mansion, knew it by heart.

"Some Soul Masters born with weaker constitutions may even have no choice but to settle for a ten-year white soul ring as their first soul ring."

"This is also why, on the Douluo Continent today, the first two soul rings of the vast majority of Soul Masters are basically yellow."

At this point, Shen Yi changed tack, and a trace of reminiscence flashed through her eyes.

"Actually, not long ago, my first and second soul rings were the same as everyone imagines: both were hundred-year yellow soul rings."

The classroom instantly erupted in an uproar.

"What?!"

"They used to be yellow too?"

"Then... then what was that purple first soul ring we just saw?"

"Can soul rings actually increase in age?"

Other than Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and the others who already knew the inside story and remained calm, the rest of the students widened their eyes in utter disbelief.

Even Wang Dong'er was no exception.

As the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, she had seen plenty of the world, yet she had never heard of soul rings changing color after being absorbed.

It was simply unheard of!

"You don't need to be so surprised."

Seeing their shocked expressions, Shen Yi seemed quite pleased with the effect and continued explaining.

"This brings us to one of Shrek Academy's unique core technologies—"

Shen Yi raised her voice slightly and enunciated each word.

"The Spirit Ascension Platform!"

"The Spirit Ascension Platform?"

The unfamiliar term echoed through the classroom. Everyone looked at one another, their eyes full of confusion.

Most of them were completely baffled. They had never seen any record of something called a "Spirit Ascension Platform" in any ancient text or material concerning Soul Masters.

Still... Shen Yi had said it was Shrek Academy's core technology, so it was normal that they did not know about it.

"That's right, the Spirit Ascension Platform."

Shen Yi nodded.

"It is a virtual space constructed using extremely advanced soul guidance technology."

"Within this space, we can simulate all sorts of environments, as well as... soul beasts of all different ages."

At this point, a trace of fervor flashed through Shen Yi's eyes.

"The most miraculous part of the Spirit Ascension Platform is that when you kill those simulated soul beasts inside, they release a special kind of energy."

"This energy can be absorbed by a Soul Master's soul rings."

"As long as enough energy is absorbed, the age of the soul ring will continuously increase!"

"In other words..."

Shen Yi took a deep breath. Looking at the little ones below, who had already been completely petrified, she slowly said,

"Here, we can raise hundred-year soul rings to thousand-year ones, thousand-year soul rings to ten-thousand-year ones, and even... hundred-thousand-year ones!"

"Boom—"

At that moment, the air in the classroom froze.

Then, unprecedented cries of astonishment erupted.

"Increase soul ring age?!"

"H-How is that possible?!"

"That's too heaven-defying, isn't it? If that's true, wouldn't everyone be able to possess hundred-thousand-year soul rings?"

Everyone felt as though their entire worldview had been utterly overturned.

Once a soul ring was absorbed, its form was fixed. This had been an ironclad rule in the Soul Master world for tens of thousands of years. Other than rumors that participating in a god's trial could increase a soul ring's age, they had never heard of any other method. Of course, even god trials were only something they had heard about, because... ever since Tang San and the others ascended, no one else had been heard of becoming a god.

But now, Shen Yi was telling them that this ironclad rule simply did not exist in this academy!

They could upgrade their soul rings just by killing soul beasts?

This was enough to drive people even crazier than Battle Armor!

Huo Yuhao felt his heart pounding wildly, his hands trembling slightly with excitement.

No wonder... no wonder Teacher Shen's soul ring configuration was so abnormal!

No wonder Dean Lin's soul rings were all hundred-thousand-year ones!

So this was where the secret lay!

This academy was simply an enormous treasure trove!

Everyone present was immensely excited!

Who did not want to become stronger?

[Ding!]

[The recognition of Huo Yuhao, Child of Destiny, that Shrek Academy is Monster Academy has increased!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have received the reward: Complete Artificial Soul Spirit technology from ten-year to ten-thousand-year levels!]

At the same time, Wang Dong'er, who was seated by the window, took a deep breath and tried her best to calm the turmoil in her heart.

An academy possessing such heaven-defying technology had foundations and strength that were simply unfathomable!

Staying here was absolutely the most correct decision she had made in her entire life!

[The recognition of key figure Wang Dong'er that Shrek Academy is Monster Academy has greatly increased!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have received the reward: Ten Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platforms!]

On the other side, Xiao Xiao's little face had flushed bright red, and excitement glittered in her eyes.

Sure enough, her decision had not been wrong!

She had thought yesterday's Enrollment Gift Pack from the academy was already everything, but she had not expected the real good stuff to come afterward!

At the thought of her yellow soul rings turning purple, or even black and red, Xiao Xiao was beside herself with excitement.

[The recognition of key figure Xiao Xiao that Shrek Academy is Monster Academy has greatly increased!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have received the reward: Ten Yellow-Grade Mechas!]

[The recognition of ordinary character Xi Er that Shrek Academy is Monster Academy has increased!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have received the reward: Ten Artificial Soul Spirit technicians!]

A string of system notifications rang out in Lin Feng's mind, sounding exceptionally wonderful. Farming rewards like this felt incredible. He did not need to do anything while sitting in his office, and the rewards just came rolling in.

But... this was only the beginning. According to the teaching process, Shen Yi should only have introduced how soul ring age could be increased so far. She had not even begun introducing the most important part yet: soul spirits.
