42: Chapter 42 New Shrek Academy, Passing on Power to the Goddess

The day after Yu Xiaogang left with Xiao Wu and Tang San, Su Ling and his group also set off for Heaven Dou City.

The original Shrek Seven Devils had already fallen apart due to Su Ling's appearance.

Although it was a pity, it was better to separate early. Now, everyone remaining acknowledged Su Ling.

In fact, Tang San and Xiao Wu were not that willing to leave, but Yu Xiaogang insisted, so Tang San had no choice but to follow.

With Tang San gone, Xiao Wu definitely had to follow, and with Dai Mubai also missing, the Shrek Academy team from the original plot was missing three people.

So currently, there was only Su Ling at Rank 46, Zhu Zhuqing at Rank 32, Ning Rongrong at Rank 27, Oscar at Rank 31, Ma Hongjun at Rank 28, as well as Tai Long from the original Lanba Academy at Rank 36, and Jiang Zhu, Jing Ling, and Huang Yuan, all at Rank 33.

With nine people participating in the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, the number was barely enough.

If it really wasn't enough, the Advanced Class of Lanba Academy still had nearly twenty Spirit Elders at Rank 31 or 32, so picking two or three from them was not impossible.

As for Feng Yuer, she could not participate in this tournament due to her age.

On the way back, Su Ling still led everyone in weight-bearing Cultivation.

They traveled during the day and Cultivated Soul Power at night.

During this process, Su Ling occasionally gained some Favorability.

On the fourth day of the return journey, Ning Rongrong took another primary spirit power pill at night and successfully raised her Soul Power to Rank 28, which earned Su Ling another 3 points of Favorability from her.

One month later!

In Heaven Dou City, inside Lanba Academy.

"From today on, Lanba Academy is officially renamed Shrek Academy. I will serve as the Vice Dean, and Flender will serve as the Dean."

"Hello everyone, my name is Flender, Spirit Four-Eyed Owl, Rank 78 attack system Spirit Saint. I am very happy to..."

Lanba Academy was successfully renamed, and Su Ling stood below listening to Flender's speech.

However, he was checking the gains from a month of traveling and Cultivation in his mind.

First, in terms of Favorability, Ning Rongrong had improved from Rank 27 to Rank 29 in this month, spanning two Ranks; the primary spirit power pill contributed significantly.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong's Favorability was already 59 points, just one point away from reaching 60 to complete the Binding. He thought this should be soon; it should improve when she breaks through to Rank 30.

For Feng Yuer, her Favorability had reached 83 points.

Jiang Zhu reached 58 points of Favorability.

Zhu Zhuqing had no change, still at 94 Favorability.

Liu Erlong's Favorability had also increased slightly, from 76 to 78 points!

In terms of Soul Power improvement, besides Ning Rongrong's improvement, Oscar had improved from Rank 31 to Rank 32.

Ma Hongjun improved from Rank 28 to Rank 29 Peak, after all, Su Ling had given him a primary spirit power pill.

Su Ling himself remained at Rank 46, but he was also taking the high-level Soul Power pill, estimating that one more time would allow him to increase his Soul Power by another Rank.

Zhu Zhuqing had the Intermediate Soul Power pill given by Su Ling, and her Soul Power had also reached Rank 33 in this month.

Feng Yuer was still at Rank 45 Soul Power.

The others from the original Lanba Academy had not changed in Soul Power, but each had made great progress, which was significantly faster than the Cultivation speed of following the academy's routine.

Overall, the help of Medicinal Pills was indeed very obvious, as if cheating.

However, the effect of taking Soul Power pills also changed; the first time was the best, and the effect would decrease with each subsequent pill.

Therefore, at each stage, one person could take at most nine pills, which perhaps was the reason why the Soul Power pills Su Ling obtained came in packs of nine.

Besides Favorability and Soul Power improvement, Su Ling also had gains in treasure chests.

Four white treasure chests, two yellow treasure chests, three purple treasure chests, and one black treasure chest.

Looking at the total number of treasure chests, Su Ling felt it was time to open them again.

Remaining unopened treasure chests: white * 94, yellow * 25, purple * 6, black * 3.

There were three black treasure chests and six purple ones!

"System, open all three black treasure chests!"

[Ding... Opening three black treasure chests. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Heaven And Earth Treasure Map * 1, Top-quality Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue * 3, Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone Upgrade Liquid * 1.]

There were three items. Su Ling knew about the Top-quality Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue; he had taken three portions before, which had greatly improved his body. It was definitely a good thing.

What were the other two?

Su Ling immediately opened the descriptions.

[Heaven And Earth Treasure Map: The location of Heaven And Earth Treasure, requires the host to find it yourself.]

[Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone Upgrade Liquid: Can be used on Spirit Bones under one hundred thousand years. It can increase the age by up to ten thousand years at a time. Note: The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone Upgrade Liquid cannot make a Spirit Bone break through the one-hundred-thousand-year limit.]

This was also good; it could be used on his Golden Dragon Armor.

"Open the six purple treasure chests as well."

[Ding... Opening six purple treasure chests. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Hidden Weapons Diagram * 1, Intermediate Soul Power pill * 5, Thousand-Year Purple Ginseng * 2, Deep Sea Silver Mother * 100 kg, Spirit Jade Arts * 1.]

Looking at the items from the purple treasure chests, some did not need careful inspection, such as the old acquaintances: Intermediate Soul Power pill, Thousand-Year Purple Ginseng, and Deep Sea Silver Mother.

[Hidden Weapons Diagram: Manufacturing methods for thirty-six types of Hidden Weapons.]

[Spirit Jade Arts: A Cultivation Technique suitable for women to Cultivate, no attribute restrictions.]

Not bad, the items from this batch seemed okay.

As for Hidden Weapons, Su Ling did not exclude them but was not obsessed; the Hidden Weapons Diagram could be given away.

The Spirit Jade Arts were very useful; couldn't all his goddesses Cultivate it?

This was another way to farm Favorability.

Looking at the remaining white and yellow treasure chests, there was no need to open them for now; let them accumulate.

After opening the chests, Flender's speech ended.

In the new Shrek Academy, Su Ling was also assigned a single dormitory; after all, his Soul Power and his relationship with Liu Erlong would definitely earn him special treatment.

Liu Erlong even invited Su Ling to live in her wooden house.

Su Ling wanted to, but it seemed inconvenient to move in.

So he chose a dormitory that only teachers could stay in, with a standard configuration of one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom, with an internal area of about fifty square meters.

Returning to the dormitory, Su Ling took out the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone Upgrade Liquid from the System.

After glancing at the usage, Su Ling immediately released the external Spirit Bone Golden Dragon Armor to wrap his whole body.

The usage was very simple; he just needed to pour this bottle of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone Upgrade Liquid directly onto the Spirit Bone.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bone Upgrade Liquid was like ordinary water, just a bit more viscous, and was absorbed seconds after being poured onto the Golden Dragon Armor.

Before long, Su Ling felt the Golden Dragon Armor changing.

Looking at the System panel, the age of the Golden Dragon Armor was constantly increasing. It was originally 10,086 years, and in just a few breaths, it increased to 12,139 years.

The numbers were soaring crazily. After the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense, the age of the Golden Dragon Armor had successfully reached 20,086. It said it would increase by ten thousand years, and it was exactly that much.

Feeling the Golden Dragon Armor with the increased age, all aspects of its attributes had increased, especially in defense.

Putting away the Golden Dragon Armor, Su Ling took out the Hidden Weapons Diagram again and took a look.

It contained no Hidden Weapons techniques, just blueprints for manufacturing Hidden Weapons, thirty-six types in total. It seemed to have all of Tang San's Hidden Weapons, and also some that Su Ling had never seen before.

Just flipping through it roughly, Su Ling put it away.

To manufacture these things would require significant manpower and material resources, various Materials, etc.

Su Ling would not bother with these.

Then Su Ling picked up the Heaven And Earth Treasure Map and took a look. The location on this map was actually in the Extreme North, and the location was clearly marked.

The Extreme North?

Su Ling had an idea in his heart. His Five Elements Battle Bow had successfully fused with the ice attribute. Water can turn into ice, and ice can turn into water, so the best fifth spirit ring for him would be an ice-attribute spirit ring.

And he had also experienced ice and fire Body Refining, so absorbing an ice-attribute spirit ring would be best, and would not cause the Soul Power conflict like before.

"Since that is the case, my fifth spirit ring will be from the Extreme North."

"There is still one year and four months until the Advanced Spirit Master Tournament. With the help of the high-level Soul Power pill, I should be able to reach Rank 50."

In the blink of an eye, Su Ling had been in the new Shrek Academy for half a month.

...

"Rank 47, finally done!"

Without calling on the accumulated goddess Cultivation effects in the System, his own Cultivation plus the high-level Soul Power pill finally allowed Su Ling to break through to Rank 47.

[Ding... Ning Rongrong Favorability + 2. Congratulations to the host for obtaining white treasure chest * 1.]

[Ding... Ning Rongrong Favorability is greater than or equal to 60. Does the host want to Bind?]

"Increasing Favorability early in the morning, could it be that Rongrong has broken through to Rank 30?"

"Bind!"

[Ding... Congratulations to the host for successfully Binding with goddess Ning Rongrong.]

[Bound Goddess: Ning Rongrong]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 93]

[Current Favorability: 61 (Quite fond of)]

[Binding Effect: The host can obtain 10% of the bound goddess's daily Cultivation effect, which will not reduce the bound goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Binding Skill 1: Support (Even if Ning Rongrong is not present, the host can use Ning Rongrong's Support skills (excluding Martial Soul Avatar) on himself, but the effect is only 10% of Ning Rongrong's own usage.)]

Support?

Now Ning Rongrong's Support was only 30%, and 10% of 30% meant only a 3% increase?

"Well, even a mosquito is meat. When Ning Rongrong's own Soul Power increases and her Favorability increases, this skill will definitely be useful; I can Support myself."

"By the way, I haven't given the Spirit Jade Arts to them yet. It's time to give it. Jiang Zhu's Favorability is already 59 points, so why not today."

In the morning, Feng Yuer, who was Su Ling's maid, brought breakfast, and Su Ling asked her to invite the girls to meet after class at noon.

After lunch, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Jiang Zhu, and Feng Yuer came to Su Ling's living room.

"Brother Su, you still have the best treatment; we are all in double rooms." Ning Rongrong said with envy after entering.

"Everyone sit down. I asked you to come today because I have something to give you."

After speaking, Su Ling took out the Spirit Jade Arts.

"Brother Su, what is this?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

Su Ling said: "This is a Cultivation Technique for Soul Power, but it is only suitable for women and has no attribute restrictions. Cultivating this technique should allow you to speed up your Cultivation and even make your Soul Power stronger."

"Really? That's great!"

"Brother Su, are you really giving this to us?" Jiang Zhu couldn't believe her eyes; she didn't expect to have a share.

Su Ling said: "Since I called you here, of course, you all have a share. However, Cultivation is Cultivation, you cannot pass it on to others. If you want to pass it on, you need my permission, understand?"

"Understood!" Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong nodded. They were from large Families, so they naturally knew the preciousness of these things.

"Brother Su, I understand." Feng Yuer and Jiang Zhu also nodded.

"Good, then you look at it together. Cultivate here in the afternoon, and ask me if you don't understand anything." Su Ling said.

[Ding... Jiang Zhu Favorability + 2, obtained white treasure chest * 1.]

[Ding... Jiang Zhu Favorability is greater than or equal to 60. Does the host want to Bind?]

"Bind!"

[Ding... Congratulations to the host for successfully Binding with goddess Jiang Zhu.]

[Bound Goddess: Jiang Zhu]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 91]

[Current Favorability: 60 (Quite fond of)]

[Binding Effect: The host can obtain 10% of the bound goddess's daily Cultivation effect, which will not reduce the bound goddess's Cultivation speed.]

[Binding Skill 1: Recovery (Passive skill, the host's own recovery ability is increased by 10%.)]

Very good, Jiang Zhu is finally bound!

The goddesses around me have all been successfully bound, and I should also improve my own Soul Power.

One afternoon, with Su Ling's help, Ning Rongrong was the first to enter the Cultivation of the Spirit Jade Arts, taking more than an hour. Zhu Zhuqing took less than half a stick of incense time.

Jiang Zhu and Feng Yuer both entered the Cultivation of the Spirit Jade Arts after an hour.

Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened. When Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing woke up, it was already around one o'clock in the morning.

Seeing that Feng Yuer and Jiang Zhu were still Cultivating, the two got up and walked out with Su Ling.

Ning Rongrong was the first to be unable to suppress her joy and said: "Brother Su, this Cultivation Technique of yours is so good. I feel my Cultivation speed is much faster than before."

"What about you, Zhuqing?" After finishing, Ning Rongrong asked Zhu Zhuqing.

[Ding... Ning Rongrong Favorability + 5, obtained white treasure chest * 2, yellow treasure chest * 1.]

"Cultivation has indeed become faster, and it is also smoother. I estimate it is about 20% faster than before." Zhu Zhuqing said.

[Ding... Zhu Zhuqing Favorability + 1, obtained black treasure chest * 1.]

Very good, another black treasure chest!

Zhuqing's Favorability has also reached 95.

"It's good that it's useful to you!" Su Ling smiled and said.

"Thank you, Brother Su!" Ning Rongrong said.

Looking at Su Ling, Ning Rongrong's face seemed to be smiling, but her heart was somewhat lost.

Su Ling's potential is no longer what it used to be. Five Elements Battle Bow, and his Soul Power is already over Rank 45 before he is twenty years old.

Ordinary Disciples of the Sect seem to be unworthy, and she feels that her Favorability for Su Ling is getting bigger and bigger.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing next to her, both of them have their hearts set on someone.

No, I can't like Brother Su; he already has Zhuqing.

How could I compete with Zhuqing for a man?

No, absolutely not!

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, and this was just discovered by Zhu Zhuqing next to her.

"Rongrong, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"I... I am, I am thinking about my third spirit ring. Today my Soul Power has reached Rank 30. Brother Su, Zhuqing, can you take me to find the third spirit ring!" Ning Rongrong hurriedly found a topic. She couldn't say that she was thinking about the three-person relationship between Su Ling, Zhuqing, and herself.

Su Ling said: "Rongrong, congratulations on your Breakthrough. That's no problem. We can set off whenever you are ready."

"Hmm, thank you, Brother Su, Zhuqing." Ning Rongrong thanked them again.

...

An hour later, Jiang Zhu and Feng Yuer woke up at the same time.

They also felt the benefits of the Spirit Jade Arts and thanked Su Ling one after another.

While thanking him, the Favorability of both of them also increased a little.

Jiang Zhu's Favorability increased by four points, bringing three white treasure chests, and as for Feng Yuer, she increased her Favorability by three points, bringing two purple treasure chests.
