Chapter 414 – Soul Storage Device Obtained
On the other hand, the students from the Outer Court could not be considered as wealthy. Even if they were extremely thrifty, they would still need at least one purple emblem for a One-Word Battle Armor. It was not easy to earn a purple emblem. Hence, if some students were from wealthy families, they would use the money from their families to buy resources to save as much time as possible. It was relatively rare for students to only rely on the emblems they earned.
The resources required for a Two-Word Battle Armor were at least ten times that of a One-Word Battle Armor. And graduating from the Outer Court required one to have at least a Two-Word Battle Armor. This was the basic requirement. If one did not meet this requirement, forget about getting into the Inner Court, even graduating from the Outer Court would be a huge problem.
Hence, the students could not be considered rich. 10,000,000 federal coins was equivalent to two and a half purple emblems. Furthermore, the Outer Court students all knew Lan Xuanyu!
Although he had tried his best to keep a low profile in the past few months, Lan Xuanyu had displayed his strength before the entire Federation by defeating the third years, leaving a deep impression on everyone.
Everyone knew that their team had earned at least 10 purple emblems in that battle. Not just among the first years, they were considered wealthy in the entire Outer Court. Hence, when Lan Xuanyu called out a price of 10 million federal coins, everyone was stopped still in their tracks.
“10,500,000!” There were still some people who were unwilling and called out another bid.
Lan Xuanyu raised the number plate once again without any expression on his face. “12 million.” Since he was determined to get it, he had to show his determination to get it. If he slowly raised the price, the final price might be higher.
“12.5 million.” Another bid.
“14 million.” Lan Xuanyu raised his number plate again.
Every increment of two million caused Qian Lei to close his eyes. His heart ached so much that he couldn’t breathe! Two million! It was two million each time!
This time, there was no more sound of bidding. 12 million had actually surpassed the value of this soul storage device, but considering its scarcity, it was still worth it, but 14 million was a little too expensive.
After asking for confirmation thrice, the hammer fell!
Lan Xuanyu bought the storage bracelet for 14 million federal coins.
Those were three and a half purple emblems!
However, since they got it, everyone was still very happy. This meant that their entire team could carry something that was five cubic meters in size at any time.
“Let’s go,” Lan Xuanyu suddenly whispered.
“We’re leaving now?” Qian Lei asked doubtfully.
Lan Xuanyu nodded his head and stood up. He was the captain and his teammates would naturally follow him. Although they still wanted to see what they could bid for, they still followed Lan Xuanyu out.
Tang Yuge turned to look at them and watched their backs as they left. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Their Odd And Fantastic Squadron shouldn’t only have this little bit of money, right? They should have other emblems left. They had surely bet on themselves last time, and not a small amount.
After leaving the auction venue, they went straight to pay for their items.
The silver storage bracelet wasn’t very eye-catching and looked extremely ordinary. However, there were many complicated patterns on the inner side of the bracelet. This was undoubtedly the soul array of the soul storage device. There were also small silver gems engraved on it. The gems weren’t big but they emitted a strange elemental fluctuation. This was probably for stabilizing the spatial soul array.
It was said that in ancient times, humans also had soul storage devices, but at that time, the research and development of soul arrays were far from developed, and they were all made directly with space-type gems. That was truly a waste.
Combined with the soul arrays, a space gem of the same size could create a storage device with a larger storage space.
Lan Xuanyu thought about it and handed it over to Yuanen Huihui. “Huihui, you’re the strongest, so wear it. It’s the safest.”
“Ok.” Yuanen Huihui originally thought that Lan Xuanyu would wear it or give it to Dong Qianqiu, but he didn’t expect it to be given to him. He immediately felt pleasantly surprised.
“My father said that if I do well in the final exam, he would give me the storage ring that I used during the entrance exam. It has a storage ability of one cubic meter.” Yuanen Huihui smiled. “I didn’t expect that I would be able to use an even better one in advance.”
“Let’s go somewhere before it’s too late,” Lan Xuanyu said.
“Where are we going?” Lan Mengqin asked curiously.
Lan Xuanyu smiled. “Fill our storage bracelet! Isn’t it used for that ?”
With that, he led the confused crowd out of the auction house. The final exam was tomorrow.
***
Morning.
A gentle breeze blew the gentle life energy from Sea God Lake into Shrek Academy, allowing the academy to have a rich life energy.
Early in the morning, all the first years were already gathered in the class. Everyone arrived early because today would be the most important test of their term.
The results of the final exam would be recorded in the records of Shrek Academy and would also represent an important step in their life. At the same time, it was also a test of their progress during the entire semester.
Xiao Qi arrived very early as well. He walked to the podium and swept his gaze across the students’ faces. He said in a low voice, “The final exam is a test of your comprehensive qualities. The first semester’s final exam is relatively simple, but at the same time, you will still face danger. Next, we will announce the contents of the exam.”
“In order to test your true strength, all of you will be sent to a Resource Planet that we are currently developing. The danger that you will encounter there will mainly come from the harsh environment. All of you will need to obtain the asked items in that harsh environment and bring them back to the base within the stipulated time. If you over-complete the mission, you will obtain even more points. If you only complete the mission, you will only get a passing score. The specific details will be explained to all of you when you arrive at your destination. I have already asked all of you to form your own teams and now, we will begin the team registration. Different teams with different numbers of persons will face different missions. The more people there are, the harder it will be. Lan Xuanyu, let’s start with you.”
Lan Xuanyu stood up and said, “Teacher Xiao, there are six people in our team: me, Yuanen Huihui, Lan Mengqin, Dong Qianqiu, Liu Feng, and Qian Lei. That’s all.”
“Alright.” Xiao Qi already knew that it would be the six of them but he still wrote it down.
The others began to register as well. They were naturally some teams the same as when they were enrolled in the academy and there were also some new teams.
Other than Lan Xuanyu’s team, most of the teams were made up of two or three people. There was only them with six people in their team.
“The rest of you, go back and get ready. In an hour, the school bus will set off at the entrance of the teaching block. We won’t be waiting for anyone late. Lan Xuanyu, bring your team and follow me. As you guys have more people, your test requirements will be different.”
“Yes.” Although Lan Xuanyu was surprised, he quickly agreed and followed Xiao Qi out of the classroom.
Xiao Qi didn’t say anything on the way and brought them to his office.
When the six people entered the office, they were stunned because there was another person inside.
Xiao Qi smiled faintly. “I don’t have to introduce you guys, right?”
Naturally, there was no need for introductions because the person standing in his office was the former third years’ class leader, Tang Yuge, whom they had met the night before. Their old rival.
