Chapter 74: Primal Spirit! Resource Present World!
Chapter 74: Primal Spirit! Resource Present World!
As soon as Principal He Fuan finished speaking.
Wow!
All the freshmen on the scene instantly retreated like a tide, leaving Xuanyuan Square.
They all returned to their residences to prepare the elixirs and items needed for the dungeon.
Watching this scene.
Principal He Fuan also smiled wryly, "This year's freshmen seem very dissatisfied with the initial rankings we old folks gave..."
"Principal He, you are an old fellow, but don't lump me and the beautiful Qing Yun in with you," said Milan, the principal of the Bright Academy, narrowing her eyes.
Beside her, Principal Qu Changfeng of the Magic Academy and Principal Wei Yuan of the Beast Pavilion twitched their mouths slightly.
But under Milan's very dangerous gaze, they dared not say a word.
Hmm...
Indeed, Milan and Li Qing Yun, the two beautiful principals, were charming and beautiful.
But their age...
They were already over a hundred years old!
However, due to the highly advanced development in magic, alchemy, and technology, a top-notch Youth Retaining Pill had been developed.
This Youth Retaining Pill not only maintained a person's youthful appearance but also kept all their bodily functions in a youthful state.
Some may wonder.
If that's the case... can immortality be achieved?
Actually, it cannot.
In this world of job changes, a creature's lifespan is no longer determined by bodily functions but by the 'Primal Spirit'.
As mentioned before, only job-changers above level 50 have the qualification to be resurrected.
This is because only when a job-changer reaches level 50 does their soul transform into a Primal Spirit.
When your body dies but the Primal Spirit does not, a priest can cast resurrection to bring you back.
If both the body and the Primal Spirit are destroyed, not even a god can save you.
You can understand the existence of a Primal Spirit as a 'save file' in a game.
If your 'save file' is not deleted, you can play the game anytime.
But if the 'save file' is gone, everything is lost.
The lifespan of the Primal Spirit is the lifespan of these powerful beings.
The lifespan of a Primal Spirit is certainly not infinite; it extends as your level increases.
Moreover...
Every job-changer above level 50 will receive a warning from their Primal Spirit one year before their natural lifespan ends.
On your panel, the words [Your lifespan is only: 365 days.] will appear.
To prevent their Primal Spirit from reaching the end of its lifespan, countless job-changers frantically kill monsters to level up.
The wealthy and powerful invest massive amounts of funds and magical research power into studying the Primal Spirit.
But unfortunately...
The lifespan of the Primal Spirit cannot be changed by external forces.
All you can do is desperately level up to extend the lifespan of your Primal Spirit.
Of course...
It's said that after reaching level 100, each level increase extends your lifespan by ten years.
And after level 50, on the basis of a hundred-year lifespan, each level increase adds five years to your lifespan.
In this way.
The five principals on the stage have at least a thousand years of lifespan.
Back to the topic.
Facing the freshmen's doubts, Principal Qu Changfeng of the Magic Academy snorted coldly, "The rankings after the 500th place might be unfair, but the top 100 are definitely not far off!"
Since the recruitment began.
The five principals and more than a dozen top mentors have been tirelessly watching the combat recordings of these freshmen's college entrance exams.
It was after careful consideration that they came up with this initial ranking.
Do you think they randomly assigned it?
"Principal Qu, don't say that. The one with the most doubts is Wang Chen, who we placed first among the freshmen."
"Because his level is the lowest among all the freshmen."
Wei Yuan laughed heartily.
"This is normal. If I were young, I would also have doubts."
He Fuan said softly, "As valedictorians, why am I not as good as you? That's probably what these little guys think."
"Alright, since these little guys don't believe it and want to advance the freshman exam, let them go ahead."
"Just as well, let them reevaluate their own strength!"
While the principals were chatting.
Outside Xuanyuan Square, Wang Chen scratched his head.
The freshman exam was moved up?
A bit unfortunate.
Originally, he wanted to complete his second job change to a Beast Master before the exam.
After completing the second job change, he could contract a second beast pet.
He also planned to visit the beast pet market of Xuanyuan Academy and take a trip to the resource secret realm.
It seems there's no time.
But it doesn't matter.
For this so-called freshman exam, Wang Chen was determined to keep his top position.
It's not that he craves fame.
It's because at Xuanyuan Academy, the monthly distribution of credits, resources, accommodation, and living allowances is based on student rankings.
Of course...
Lower-ranked students have one opportunity per month to challenge higher-ranked students, and the higher-ranked students cannot refuse for any reason.
If you refuse the challenge, your rank will be taken by the challenger.
For the sake of the welfare benefits, Wang Chen naturally wanted to keep his top position.
...
...
At 1 PM.
The originally empty Xuanyuan Square was once again bustling with a sea of people.
Every freshman's face was filled with excitement and eagerness.
Their excitement was almost overflowing.
Obviously, they were looking forward to this grand trial to prove their strength.
They wanted to use their top-notch strength to slap the faces of the principals and teachers who liked to mess up the rankings!
At this moment.
Buzz!
With a casual wave of Teacher Mao's hand.
In the middle of Xuanyuan Square, a series of ancient doors with a platinum hue appeared.
"It's here! The trial dungeon for the freshman exam!"
"Judging by the color, it should be a platinum-level secret realm!"
Generally speaking.
The color of the secret realm portal represents the difficulty level of that secret realm.
"As expected of Xuanyuan Academy, the dungeons for freshmen trials start at platinum-level!"
"Heh! Don't sigh just yet! If you go to the dungeon hall of Xuanyuan Academy, you'll be even more amazed!"
"How so?"
"In the dungeon hall, there are at least thirty platinum-level dungeons! More than twenty diamond-level dungeons! Over ten extraordinary-level dungeons! There are even five hero-level dungeons!"
"No way! Really?"
"My sister is a sophomore here. She told me, why would she lie?"
"This is the resource strength of Dragon Nation's top academy? It's terrifying..."
It is indeed terrifying.
Now, global resources are already divided and controlled by various countries.
In Dragon Nation.
The government controls 80% of the resources, and the remaining 20% falls into the hands of various noble families.
