"Donât use the Spiritual Energy Infusion yet."
Teacher Cai Cai noticed that everyone had received the Spirit Realm Willâs prompt message and quickly reminded them, "The total amount of spiritual energy you receive is fixed. If your current state isnât optimal, a significant portion of the spiritual particles will be consumed to repair your body, and only the remainder will be converted into attribute points."
After a pause, Teacher Cai Cai offered a suggestion, "Take a good rest and use the Spiritual Energy Infusion when you are in perfect condition. If possible, take a dip in the Spiritual Liquid bath; it will have a better effect."
The second ordinary-faced guy excitedly asked, "Teacher Cai Cai, how much will the Spiritual Energy Infusion increase our attributes?"
"Well, the Spirit Realm Will evaluates your contribution on the way to winning the championship... The greater the contribution, the higher the total amount of spiritual particles," said Teacher Cai Cai, "Generally speaking, it can increase attributes by about ten points."
The faces of the two ordinary-faced guys quickly fell.
However, after understanding the Mixed Studies Mystical Arts, their mindset had changed, and after a brief disappointment, they returned to happiness, "Itâs okay, itâs okay. Weâre already satisfied with just getting a championship, it doesnât matter if we donât add attribute points."
In fact, this was the case; substituting any one of these two ordinary-faced guys from the school team or swapping both would have little impact on the outcome of the match.
Of course, the two ordinary-faced guys also had the opportunity for Spiritual Energy Infusion, only their attribute addition would be relatively small.
Just when Bai Pu thought the reward for winning the University Competition was only Spiritual Points and attribute points, the next prompt from the Spirit Realm Will arrived:
[Based on your outstanding contribution to this yearâs University Competition, you have received a special item: Bag of Limited Wishes (unique).]
[Bag of Limited Wishes: Put your hand into the bag, and it will fulfill one of your wishes. The higher the Desire Power Value, the greater the wish it can fulfill. Current Desire Power Value: 185 points, valid for 120 days.]
"Wish?"
Bai Pu was a bit surprised. This "Bag of Limited Wishes" can actually grant wishes, manifesting anything desired by the user!
Although there is âWish Powerâ as a condition, it is still rare enough.
If you assess its value, think of it like the âjokerâ card in poker, turning into whatever is missing.
Bai Pu checked it out; each point of Wish Power represents a "value" equivalent to 1000 Spiritual Points. 185 points of Wish Power mean Bai Pu can fulfill a wish worth 185,000 Spiritual Points.
This wish could be equipment, an item, or even a consumable with special functions...
Bai Pu hasnât decided how to use this bag yet.
Fortunately, the bagâs validity period is about four months, so thereâs no rush for now.
Soon, Spiritual Cuisine was served.
The selling point of Spiritual Cuisine is the ingredients themselves.
The heart meat of a Wilderness Areaâs Earth Bear, the sunflower seeds from Demon Plants, a gelatinous broth boiled from giant snake tendons...
Because the spiritual particles contained within these delicacies are particularly abundant, ordinary people can only eat a couple of bites at most; eating more in quest for deliciousness would result in nosebleeds flowing wildly.
All those present were Awakened, having much larger appetites compared to ordinary people, but even they soon felt full, putting down their chopsticks and stopped eating, chatting in small groups.
Bai Pu didnât care that much; with one bite of bear meat, he felt his heart beating joyfully, channeling all the spiritual particles into it, contributing to the concentration of Pure Blood.
At least half of the large table of dishes were devoured by Bai Pu alone.
Everyone watched with their mouths agape as Bai Pu devoured and drank.
"Now I know why Boss Gangxin is so strong."
Ordinary-faced guy Jingxi muttered, "Are you actually some Fierce Beast in human form?"
"What Fierce Beast in human form, do you think this is a fantasy novel?" the second ordinary-faced guy laughed heartily.
Once they were full, everyone returned to the dormitory area of Western Capital University.
Rest for another night today, and tomorrow, weâll head back home!
"Fenghuo?" The returning crowd was a bit surprised to see Fenghuo waiting at the entrance to the dormitory area.
"Iâm here to find Gangxin," said Fenghuo simply.
Teacher Cai Cai glanced at Bai Pu with a questioning look, and after getting his nod, she led the others away.
Only Fenghuo and Bai Pu were left at the scene.
"Whatâs up?"
Bai Pu initially intended to show some socially expected concern for Fenghuoâs injury, but he quickly realized, from his own standpoint, it might come off as annoying, so he dropped the small talk.
"Todayâs match truly showed me the gap,"
Fenghuo inhaled deeply, a hint of melancholy in his expression, "I donât even know how vast the strength difference between us is or how I should catch up."
Bai Pu remained silent.
Fenghuo continued, "Next, I plan to train in the Professional Plane to advance to an Advanced Awakened. Donât get complacent; Iâll become stronger... In the future, in the Advanced Spirit Realm, in the professional arena, Iâll be waiting for you."
"The Professional Plane..." Bai Pu had heard of it too. For example, Fenghuo, Haotian, and others continuously honed their Mystical Arts, remaining at Level 6, aiming for breakthroughs in the Professional Plane.
The Professional Plane is essentially the âplane for enhancing professional energy.â
The professional energy of Awakened varies in strength.
High-end templates have extremely refined professional energy, occupying an advantageous position in priority contests, like Bai Puâs Blood River Fighting Qi.
Low-end templates have more coarse professional energy, at a disadvantage in priority contests, like Bai Puâs previous "Blood Fighting Qi."
In other words, priority is actually determined by "the purity of professional energy."
Advancing from Level 6 to Level 7 for Awakened is a critical juncture.
At this juncture, Awakened will not undergo a third career change but will have the opportunity to cultivate professional energy to make it more refined â essentially a boost in template priority.
For instance, if Fenghuo succeeds in the Professional Plane, his Fiery Blade Fighting Qi could undergo another breakthrough, transforming into a stronger, purer type of Fighting Qi, and the base priority could elevate from Level 4 to Level 5.
"Oh... I see. Fenghuo, you didnât just come here to say this, did you?" Bai Pu asked.
He realized Fenghuo seemed lacking in conversational skills, so it was better to be straightforward.
"...Alright. Iâll be direct. Iâm here on behalf of the Divine Envoy to approach you. You mentioned that your auction would be held after the competition, right?"
"Which Divine Envoy?" Bai Pu asked.
"...Unless necessary, itâs best not to know each otherâs Divine Envoys, because there are factions among the Divine, but we Awakened are not part of that," Fenghuo replied.
"Itâs fine, Iâm not a voter," Bai Pu laughed.
"Youâre not a voter?" Fenghuo was startled.
"Yeah, I donât like being tied down to a particular divine faction, busy all day completing tasks for Lord Divine Envoy... I prefer independence, openness, and inclusiveness. So, Divine Envoys from any faction can trade with me," Bai Pu said.
Fenghuo was unsure how to respond.
Trading with Divine Envoys?
Bai Pu proclaimed such "Iâm equal to Divine Envoys" statements in a matter-of-fact tone, with no hint of pretense.
Fenghuo could only shake his head and sigh, "I donât know if youâre ignorant and fearless... If you knew how formidable Divine Envoys are, you wouldnât say that."
