Chapter 21: Xu Yuan's bottleneck
🕑 Added 2025-02-28 03:59:08 +0000 UTC
Xu Shengqun frowned.
He had been awakened by Xu Yuan before, and came to his senses, realizing that if Xu Yuan entered Shrek now, his biggest goal was no longer to seek shelter, but to hone himself on Shrek, a stage where talented soul masters gathered.
However, one of the reasons why he didn’t want Xu Yuan to apply this year was that he was worried that Xu Yuan would be influenced by Shrek’s philosophy after entering Shrek at his age.
Xu Shengqun frowned and thought for a long time, and finally abandoned his previous worries.
Apart from anything else, Xu Yuan’s words just now have already proved that there is nothing wrong with his character and world outlook.
Moreover, everything is actually a matter of weighing the pros and cons.
Previously, Xu Shengqun preferred to let Xu Yuan participate in the enrollment three years later because of the influence of Shrek’s philosophy on Xu Yuan. There were other reasons as well. Now that the other reasons have been resolved, this one reason alone is not enough to make him completely biased.
Even from other perspectives, he began to refute this idea and began to think that even if he was affected, what could be wrong? Is there anything wrong with Shrek’s many styles that are not suitable for Xu Yuan?
This is human nature.
People’s minds change in just a moment.
“Xiao Yuan, since you think so, uncle will help you sign up.”
Perhaps other soul masters still have to consider the issue of application quotas. After all, Shrek Academy is a holy place in the hearts of soul masters across the continent. Who wouldn’t want to apply? If any soul master could sign up, the pressure on Shrek to recruit students would be too great. Today’s Shrek does not have the technology to support continent-wide auditions, nor does it have the opportunity to start this model.
Therefore, it can only be decided based on the fixed number of places in each session.
Every three years, Shrek’s entrance examination will give a certain number of application quotas to various forces.
Other soul masters might have to think about this, but Xu Yuan doesn’t need to.
The quotas are all given by Shrek, so whether there is one more or one less is not a big problem for Shrek.
Anyway, there is no harm in recruiting one more genius for Shrek.
As long as Xu Shengqun opens his mouth, it will not be difficult for Xu Yuan to get the qualification to apply for the exam.
It can only be said that the rules made by a group of Shrek people who least abide by the rules should not be taken too seriously.
As for why he did not ask for a quota from the Tianhai Alliance and other forces? Now there is only one week left before the Shrek enrollment officially begins.
After deciding to apply, it only took one day for Xu Yuan to get the admission qualification of the inner courtyard from his uncle.
“There are still a few days before the exam, so we are not in a hurry to set off.” Xu Shengqun said, “After passing the assessment, you will most likely be admitted directly to the school and practice in the inner courtyard. If you want to enter the Soul Ascension Platform, you can only go to the Soul Transmission Tower headquarters, which will inevitably be a bit troublesome. Take the opportunity to go to the Soul Ascension Platform a few times in the next few days.”
Xu Shengqun is a spirit messenger, so it is not difficult for him to obtain the qualification to ascend to the spirit platform in the spirit tower. However, if he is at the headquarters, there will always be three people above him, especially with Qiangu Dongfeng, so he will inevitably be interfered with.
It's not that he can't get the qualification, but it’s better to have less trouble than more. Xu Shengqun is not from Shrek, so he doesn’t have the idea that those who don’t dare to cause trouble are mediocre.
Tianhai City Spirit Tower.
“Master Spiritual Envoy.”
Xu Shengqun brought Xu Yuan all the way to the upper floor of the Spirit Transmission Tower.
“This is the Soul Ascension Platform equipment used exclusively by the people inside the Soul Transmission Tower. It is connected to the same Soul Ascension Platform, but the quota is only available to internal personnel and is exchanged with contribution points. Unlike the quotas circulated outside, the quotas here are always vacant all year round.”
Xu Yuan’s mouth twitched.
Are there vacancies all year round?
This is a special quota for you spirit messengers, tower masters and the like.
Xu Yuan didn’t come in blindfolded the whole time. There were other rooms on this floor, which were probably the spirit-raising equipment used exclusively by internal personnel. The situation was still very tense. Only the innermost room was empty.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Xu Yuan is not an insider.
All I can say is that rules are often made by the strong.
To be honest, Xu Yuan has never entered the Spirit Ascension Platform.
“Lie down.” Xu Shengqun instructed Xu Yuan to lie down in a closed cabin.
“Remember, if you encounter a crisis in the Soul Ascension Platform and are destined to be killed, then take the initiative to press the button to exit. You still have to take the Shrek exam. If you are killed in the Soul Ascension Platform, your spirit will be damaged, which will affect the assessment.”
“Got it.” Xu Yuan nodded.
The cabin door closed, Xu Yuan closed his eyes, and felt a strange force in the cabin pulling his mental power together, extracting his consciousness in a unique form.
The consciousness left the body, and as the world spun around, I arrived in an illusory world.
Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Xu Yuan landed.
He put away the red emergency exit button and adjusted to his own body.
“After all, it is not a real body. Although it is an almost perfect replica of the real body through my consciousness, there are still some differences.”
Xu Yuan’s mental strength is very strong and he can sense the difference in his current state.
In reality, it is the best state, with the body as the main body and consciousness as the dominant factor, but in the space of the Spirit Ascension Platform, everything is dominated by consciousness.
“This body is my consciousness. To be exact, I don’t have a physical body, but my consciousness forms the body.” Xu Yuan was amazed by the peculiarity of this soul-raising platform.
The person who invented the Spirit Ascension Platform is truly a genius.
“It is estimated that the predecessor of the Spirit Ascension Platform was a technology similar to a combat space used to hone combat skills.” Xu Yuan guessed.
The Tang Sect has a Hall of Heroes, and the Federation has also developed similar technology for the virtual world, which seem to have some similarities with the Spirit Ascension Platform.
It's just that the Soul Pagoda has developed this technology into the Soul Ascension Platform, which has the feature of being able to fight and enhance the soul at the same time. The Tang Sect’s Hall of Heroes simulates the abilities of existing powerful soul masters, and uses real people to fight projections of real strong men in history to hone themselves. The virtual world developed by the Federation focuses on breadth, and is committed to promoting it throughout the Federation.
After sighing, Xu Yuan quickly adapted to his body and paid attention to the movements around him.
The Soul Ascension Platform simulates the original soul beast forest, most of which are based on the former Star Dou Great Forest.
The area simulated by the primary soul-raising platform is the former outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Most of the soul beasts there are only ten-year soul beasts. Hundred-year soul beasts are relatively rare, and there are almost no thousand-year soul beasts.
“Hundred-year soul beasts are rare, so I can still avoid them by hiding from them. But I want to ascend to a higher spiritual level, and killing a hundred-year soul beast is the fastest way.”
That’s right, Xu Yuan wants to ascend to spiritual status.
As early as when he merged his soul, his mental power had broken through the spiritual realm, and his mental power value was as high as one hundred and thirty. Now, a year later, after he opened up the sea of spiritual energy, his mental power had a foundation, and his progress was more stable, increasing by a full eighty points in one year, reaching two hundred and ten points.
An increase of eighty points a year.
This is not Xu Yuan’s limit, but the limit of the mental power that his physical development can bear.
That’s right, Xu Yuan’s mental strength improvement has reached a bottleneck.
