Finally, it seemed to weather away, turning into dust, which vanished with a gust of wind.
However, Nan Fusheng felt no regret whatsoever; after all, they were just a few pieces of ten-thousand-year-old soul bones.
To others, these items might be priceless, but to someone like him who couldn't absorb soul bones, they were nothing but a pile of useless junk. It would be better to convert them into energy for him to absorb.
That's right, Nan Fusheng is unable to absorb soul bones. This is something Nan Fusheng has discovered through experiments over the past three years. Otherwise, do you think he would have given away his external soul bone, the Dark Gold Terror Claw?
After gaining control of the Invincible Age and possessing the abundant resources of the Spirit Pagoda in Tianhai City, Nan Fusheng also learned that a 90,000-year-old left leg bone was stored there.
Although the year was a bit different, Nan Fusheng at the time thought he could make do with it, since it wasn't like he couldn't change it.
However, when his main body absorbed that soul bone, he found that no matter what, it was difficult to establish a connection with it. In the end, he only succeeded in absorbing it by relying on the "erroneous" authority.
However, the result was disappointing. When he tried to absorb the soul bone, his body automatically rejected it. Even if he successfully absorbed it, his body was simply drawing energy from the soul bone.
When Nan Fusheng cancels the "erroneous" power, the soul bone is automatically expelled, and a large portion of its energy is absorbed, causing the soul bone's quality to decline.
Although initially puzzled, Nan Fusheng quickly understood the reason. His body had begun to follow the path of a divine being, which was why it started to reject those foreign objects.
As a mythical creature, his body has a natural aversion to this impure substance, which prevents him from absorbing the soul bone.
Fortunately, Shenwei and Lufa can absorb it, since good skills can sometimes appear in soul bones.
Chapter 218 Final Exam
However, as if suddenly remembering something, Nan Fusheng turned around and asked, "By the way, when you broke through to become a 100,000-year-old soul beast, did you encounter a heavenly tribulation?"
August paused as his body slowly sank into the sea. "Yes, but it's not powerful."
Furthermore, I have a premonition that if I pray to your true form during the next tribulation and borrow the power of 'fooling' from Sequence Zero "The Fool," I should be able to easily fool my way through the tribulation.
"Is that so?" Nan Fusheng replied. "I understand."
……
In the time that followed, Nan Fusheng's life was very fulfilling. His main body cultivated in the Spirit Pagoda, and he would occasionally go to supervise Fors's cultivation. Then he would control his clones to go on various trips.
What? You're asking about the cultivation of the main body? Isn't that thanks to the omnipotent Fusheng No. 1?! With a fully automated cultivation machine, how could anything else be lacking? (Fusheng No. 1: Thank you so much.)
Time passed day by day, and before they knew it, it was the end of the first semester at Shrek Academy.
"The teaching for the first half of the school year is coming to an end, and the final exam you have been looking forward to is coming." Shen Yi's smiling words made all the students in the class subconsciously sit up straight.
The anticipated final exams? Probably no one is looking forward to them. Final exams mean some people will be eliminated. Ten people are eliminated in the first year; I wonder how many will be eliminated at the end of this first semester.
Sure enough, Shen Yi's next words caused the expression of the students with weaker cultivation levels to change slightly.
"According to the rules, five people will be eliminated in the first semester's final exam. So, everyone should work hard in the final exam, otherwise, you may be one of those eliminated."
Five people were eliminated...
Then Tang Wulin actually asked Shen Yi if it was possible that no one would be eliminated.
Then, Shen Yi's answer was unexpected: yes, but those who passed need to distribute their points to others to make up for the vacancies.
However, this will make the final exams next semester more difficult and will also affect one's chances of joining the inner circle in the future.
These few words silenced Tang Wulin completely.
"The final exam method will now be announced. You will have fifteen days for the final exam. Within these fifteen days, you will need to travel to Mingdu. Along the way, you will need to pass through at least ten cities, including Mingdu."
In each city, you must defeat an opponent whose cultivation level is five levels higher than yours. And you cannot have any external assistance. How to find an opponent, how to defeat them, and how to reach Mingdu are all your own responsibility.
"Also, before you leave, all your storage soul tools, communication soul tools, and all your resources and money will be left behind. Leave with nothing and go your own way."
Remember, you only have fifteen days. Completing the mission and returning within fifteen days is passing. Scores are determined by the strength of your opponents. If anyone fails to complete the mission and return within fifteen days, regardless of who they are, they fail.
Half of all your scores will be deducted. You don't need to worry about how your scores are calculated during the competition; the academy's teachers will be secretly following you. However, they will never intervene, not even if your lives are in danger.
Therefore, throughout the final exams, I hope you will be cautious and avoid facing opponents you cannot handle.
Upon hearing Shen Yi's words, Nan Fusheng's first reaction was one of utter absurdity. A final exam like this? Wasn't this practically forcing someone to commit a crime?
If you don't have money, you can still make money through various methods, but what if someone disagrees with your challenge against a soul power level five levels higher than yours? Isn't this just encouraging them to provoke others?
Mingdu is located on the western side of the continent, while Shrek Academy is in the very center. Even taking the Soul Guided High-Speed Train without changing trains, it would still take three days to reach the destination.
In other words, the shortest round trip would take at least six days, not to mention that while they were earning travel expenses, they also had to find people to carry out the attacks in ten different cities.
"No grouping allowed. Everyone must go alone. If anyone is found helping each other, they will be considered to have failed." Shen Yi left with these words before departing.
The next morning would be the time for them to set off and begin their exams.
……
early morning.
Early in the morning, all the students in Class 1 of Grade 1 gathered at Lingbing Square, ready to go.
Almost all students who are admitted to Shrek Academy have storage soul tools for their daily needs. The first thing Wu Changkong and Shen Yi did upon their arrival was to register and store their storage soul tools. Apart from their clothes, they were not allowed to take anything with them during the final exams.
The body searches were extremely strict, with boys and girls separated. Most students were quite honest, but some harbored侥幸心理 (a gambler's mentality). However, when a teacher appeared whose martial soul was eyes and who possessed a soul skill called X-ray vision, all their侥幸心理 vanished...
However, this had nothing to do with Nan Fusheng and Fors. They both readily handed over their storage soul tools. Making money was just a matter of having plenty of ways to do it.
As soon as they stepped out of the academy gates, a cold wind blew, and despite the Shrek Academy students' physical condition not being such that they shouldn't feel cold, they still felt a little shivering.
After saying their goodbyes, the students quickly left. Fifteen days seemed like a long time, but they had so much to do. The first step was to make money!
Without money, you can't move an inch!
"I'm going to find someone to act cute." Xu Xiaoyan waved her hand and instead of leaving the academy, walked into the academy grounds.
As a film queen, she clearly intends to use her acting skills to charm her way into borrowing money from those upperclassmen. And judging from her demeanor, she obviously already had her targets in mind.
"I'm leaving too. If you see news about Shrek Academy students performing on the streets in the downtown area, don't be surprised." Xie Xie felt a sense of urgency, waved his hand, and ran off.
Xu Lizhi planned to make money by selling steamed buns, while Tang Wulin clearly intended to make money through the Forging Masters Association.
Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan had a simpler method: robbery.
Moreover, they intercepted students at the gate of Shrek Academy, openly robbing them.
Most importantly, they succeeded. An unfortunate second-year student was first threatened and coerced by them into borrowing 100,000 federal dollars.
He was already planning to pay, but then Xu Lizhi, that big fat guy, came and started trying to scam him.
He said, "Instead of lending them 100,000 Federal Credits directly, why not buy their steamed buns for only 40,000 Federal Credits? If we can get past Ye Xinglan and Gu Yue into the academy, they won't be able to do anything to us."
As a result, the second-year student foolishly believed him and ended up spending 40,000 Federal Credits to buy Xu Lizhi's steamed buns, only to be defeated by Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan in a mixed doubles match, losing both his wife and his money.
First, they lost 40,000 Federal Dollars, and now they have to lend Ye Xinglan and the others 100,000 Federal Dollars. It's utterly shameful.
Lu Fa is about to be released. I'd like to know the names of Shenwei and Lu Fa's battle armor.
Chapter 219 I, a student of Shrek Academy, am sending money.
"Hey, you two junior students, are you going to lend it to me or not?" The senior student looked at them with a half-smile.
"That's enough, that's fine." Ye Xinglan ignored him and walked outside with Gu Yue.
She wasn't stupid. This senior looked to be at least a fifth-year student, and his cultivation level was definitely above the fourth ring, possibly even the fifth ring.
Borrowing money was only out of necessity; she'd pay it back anyway. Now that she'd got the money, she wasn't about to cause herself any trouble.
"Really? Is this senior so rich? Then I'd like to borrow some money from you too."
The sudden, languid voice made Ye Xinglan and Gu Yue pause in their steps and turn around. It was Fors? Was she also here to borrow money?
"Huh?" The senior student was taken aback. He had only meant to tease the two junior girls, but he hadn't expected that someone would actually ask him for money.
Turning his head, he was immediately struck by the sight of the upperclassman. His features were exquisite, as if sculpted by the heavens, and his delicate willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly curved as he looked at him with a half-smile.
Her long, jet-black hair fluttered in the wind, her figure was slender and graceful, and her skin was as white as snow. In particular, the languid feeling emanating from her body added a touch of realism to the beauty who seemed to have stepped out of a painting.
Clearly, Fors's appearance left a deep impression on the senior he was meeting for the first time.
"Oh! Junior, you want to borrow money from your senior, right?" As someone who had managed to reach a high level at Shrek Academy, the senior quickly came to his senses and spoke up.
"Of course, although I have my own ways of getting money, after seeing their methods, I suddenly became a little interested in their methods."
Fors hadn't originally planned to get involved in this kind of thing, since she had her own ways of making money. However, after seeing Ye Xinglan and the others' method, she did become somewhat interested. Since the senior student also spoke up, she casually agreed.
"Junior, how much do you want to borrow?"
"Just like the two of them."
"Alright, in that case, junior, would you be interested in making a bet with your senior?" the senior said with a smile.
"bet?"
“Yes. Next, the senior will ‘walk’ into the academy. As long as the junior can successfully stop the senior, then you win. I will hand over 100,000 Federal Credits with both hands, and you don’t need to pay me back.”
"However, if you can't stop me, junior, I'll still lend you the 100,000 Federal Credits, but you'll have to tell me your name."
The senior student said with a smile, "It's just a mere 100,000 Federal Credits; I really don't care about it."
Moreover, he didn't think this junior could beat him. If she did, he could learn the name of this pretty junior and lend her the Federal Coins, while also gaining her favor.
“Okay, it’s a deal.” Fors’s eyes lit up. It would be a fool not to make money when there’s an opportunity. Since this senior was so generous and wanted to give her money, she could only accept it with a smile.
"It's a deal." The senior student felt like today was truly a lucky day. He had won so badly this time.
Of course, he was thinking about it, but the senior student was quick to act. "Fifth grade, Class 1, Lightning Max. Please guide me, junior."
