After the Sky Screen's voice faded, countless points of light descended from the void like a silent meteor shower, scattering toward every corner of the continent.
The Soul Masters who had answered correctly almost all sensed the change at the same time.
Countless people immediately sat cross-legged and examined their Soul Rings. A moment later, a voice rang out across Shrek Academy's training field.
"M-My First Soul Ring's age increased?" Ma Hongjun's mouth fell open as he looked down at the First Soul Ring glowing around him.
The ring that had originally been pale yellow had noticeably darkened, though it still was not purple. He tried circulating his Soul Power, then scratched his head. "But it only increased by five hundred years. Is that all?"
"Me too." Oscar spoke up, his face full of disbelief. "My First Soul Ring gained five hundred years, and then that was it. Where's the promised 100,000-year Soul Ring?"
"Five hundred years? Are you kidding me?" Dai Mubai frowned.
Just then, the Sky Screen's voice rang out again.
"Because there were many correct respondents, this reward has been evenly divided among them. Each person's First Soul Ring has gained five hundred years."
"The fewer people who answer correctly, the greater the reward!"
"However, more than 102,600 people answered correctly this time, so the reward has been split. If you want better rewards, then wait for more difficult questions!"
The Sky Screen's tone remained calm, even carrying a hint of gloating.
The entire Original-Work World fell silent for three seconds before erupting in an uproar.
"The more people answer correctly, the lower the reward?"
"The Sky Screen is too ruthless! If I'd known, I wouldn't have let them get it right!"
"I thought it was going to be a 100,000-year Soul Ring! A 100,000-year Soul Ring!"
