Shrek Academy's curriculum was by no means simple. The available lectures spanned a wide variety of topics. However, there were few assessments of learning. The students were responsible for making sure they thoroughly understood the material. The Academy followed an old saying: the master shows the door, but the student walks through it. Every student of Shrek Academy was a genius, so a teaching style fit for geniuses was necessary.

Everyone spent their afternoons consolidating their knowledge, cultivating, refining their bodies, studying, or practicing their professions. Everyone had their own path, so none of the teachers could tell students how to cultivate. Students could ask a teacher if they had any questions, but this cost contribution points.

It only took a few days for new students to realize the importance of contribution points. Contribution points could buy the very best cultivation resources that Shrek Academy had to offer, but without them, one would get nothing. In the case of the latter, the only thing students could do was earn points or work hard cultivating the old fashioned way.

Plant-type soul masters like Tang Wulin could spend their contribution points on entrance to a special cultivation space called the Boundless Forest. This forest was constructed by Shrek Academy, and it was filled with every plant imaginable. It practically pulsed with life. If a plant-type soul master cultivated there, their cultivation speed would double! However, entry came at a steep price. An hour in the Boundless Forest cost five hundred points.Fan Lin cultivated here at least 8 hours a day daily.

The Academy offered everything its students could ever need. Even the selection of spirit items here surpassed that of the auctions in the outside world. However, federal coins were useless in the Academy. Only contribution points were accepted. Every student lacked contribution points. The thought of exchanging points for federal coins never crossed their minds.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of student life, everyone trudged forward, one step at a time. They all prayed and worked hard, desperate to not be one of the first students facing expulsion.

Shrek Academy gave the students just as much freedom as it did stress. This was the only way that one's potential could truly blossom.

Many days has passed since the combat test. Everyone was busy. Fan Lin was more so. He slept less than 5 hours a week for the past weeks. He couldn't get expelled from the Shrek. During his time in here, his strength skyrocketed. His spirit power was 679. His physique has already reached a terrifying level. He can say he is stronger than Wulin now. His control on spirit energy and soul power has surpassed his imagination. The mecha designing required the usage of soul power and spirit power to engrave the designs on the mecha or battle armour. Those designs were called circuit.

He was just a speck of a distance away from level 30. He stopped because he wanted to use a new spirit soul. He was going to use a ten thousand year one. He had already checked that his body can withstand a ten thousand year spirit soul.

He needed to buy a new spirit soul. He can use that spirit soul to level sixty.

Fan Lin came out of his room and was going to the spirit Pagoda to buy one.

He saw Yuanen Yehui and Tang Wulin talking about tower attack. He knew what tower attack was. It was the way to get better Spirit Soul by fighting them in the tower. The higher the level you reached, the higher the age of spirit soul you can choose for yourself.

Only the prodigies of Spirit Pagoda can use them. Gu Yuena should have gotten the permission for it.

' I also forgot to give her compensation. Even though it wasn't my fault. Since I said to Elder Cai, then so be it '

''Hello, excuse me, I forgot to give you your compensation. Can I give it to you now?" Fan Lin asked Yuanen.

Wulin's eyes were shining with a weird light. He asked me, " will you go to the... "

" No." Fan Lin replied befor he even finished his sentence.

"I haven't even finished it." Tang Wulin grumbled.

Ignoring him I asked Yuanen for her answer. " When can I pay you now? and why is the compensation 1 million contribution points? Can you tell me faster? I need to go." Fan Lin asked in mild irritation.

"Ye, Yes, you can. Let's go now." She stuttered after hearing the amount.

We went to the exchange center. Wulin went with us. He kept mumbling about 1 million contribution points.

I transferred it to her account and also paid the 1 percent transaction fee.

Wulin said. " Where are you going to?"

"To get my third martial Soul. Bye."

" Why does this guy never talks politely." Wulin said with a hint of annoyance.

Spirit Pagoda

Fan Lin went to the reception and asked the receptionist which floor the spirit soul exchange center was.

He went to the lift and pressed the button of the floor that the receptionist told him. The lift reached the spirit soul exchange hall in no time. He went out of the lift. Immediately a staff person came towards him.

"Are you here to buy a spirit soul Sir. You can inform me of your requirements and I will help you to complete it."

The staff is so nice.

"I want a ten thousand year old Spirit soul for my Blue silver martial soul. The age should not be more than 11500 years. The poison and speed type.

The staff went to prepare the list. After some time he came with a tab in his hand.

" Here are the list of spirit soul that we recommend for your blue silver grass. There are more than 70 spirit souls available according to your requirements Sir. Which would you like to have?" The staff said.

*One hour later*

Fan Lin had already looked at all the spirit souls in the list. All of them were good. He finally decided on Poison wrym spirit soul. It was the spirit soul with the most lethal poison, decent speed and good durability. The only shortcomings was its attack power was low. But he was not thinking of attacking others with his blue silver grass.

" I choose this Poison wrym spirit soul. Send it to my free room. I said to the staff.

I paid for the spirit soul. It was costly. 45 million Alliance coins. Fan Lin didn't knew that it was just the 1/8 of the actual price. He will know later.

Fan Lin went toward his free room. The spirit soul was already placed there. He went inside his room.

He started absorbing the spirit soul. This time he felt pain. A lot of pain.

It was as if thousands of needles were stabbed at his body repeatedly. His mind was in turmoil, like it was stretched and teared at the same time.

*12 hours later*

Spirit Pagoda. Spirit soul fusion room.

A boy could be seen absorbing his ten thousand year old Spirit soul in the room. He was gritting his teeth in pain. His tanned body was drenched in blood and sweat. His body become a little thin.

He suddenly opened his eyes. His irises had turned light green. ( The same as in Ben 10 alien force.)

He succeeded in fusing with the ten thousand year old Spirit Soul.

A black spirit ring with hints of green was floating beside him along with his purple and green spirit rings.

This was a ten thousand year old Spirit Soul! And he succeeded!

Both feats were something many not even dared to dream.

A person needed to be in the spirit sea realm( 500 to 4999 spirit power). It was hard for even soul ancestors much less for someone in the soul elder level.
