Chapter 377: Green Spirit Energy

As the Purple Radiance instructors arrived, the five Purple Radiance squads followed them up the Power Tree, ascending higher and higher.

Along the way, they encountered many students cultivating on the Power Tree, and their group drew numerous gazes filled with envy and longing; clearly, news of the special training the Purple Radiance squads were undergoing within the academy had already spread.

Under this special training, they could enjoy cultivation resources that the academy did not casually open to others, which was what most made ordinary students envious.

Although this left some feeling unwilling, there was nothing to be done; with the Holy Grail Battle approaching, only the most elite students could receive the academy's attention and be granted scarce cultivation resources for training.

Under those numerous gazes, Li Luo and his group continued upward until they reached a position near the top of the Power Tree, where they had already risen above the clouds; looking down, the entire Holy Profound Star Academy was reflected in their eyes, and gazing into the distance, they could even see the sprawling buildings within the Great Xia City.

Finally, Instructor Xi Chan and the others stopped their steps.

Li Luo looked and saw they had stopped at a wooden platform carved from a massive trunk of the Power Tree; in the center of that wooden platform stood a simple green wooden door, upon which ancient runes were inscribed, breathing in the energy of heaven and earth.

Xi Chan, Shen Shen Jinxiao, and the other Purple Radiance instructors took out a Zi Yin from their sleeves; immediately, these Zi Yin released purple light beams that wove together upon the green wooden door.

The green wooden door trembled slightly, and then, accompanied by a creaking sound, slowly opened.

Behind the wooden door, a green light swirled, making it impossible to see the scene within.

"Enter."

Shen Shen Jinxiao reached out to retrieve the Zi Yin, spoke calmly, and then stepped in first.

Li Luo, Lu Qing'er, and these Purple Radiance students, unable to suppress their curiosity and anticipation, rushed in one after another.

The instant they entered, green light filled their vision, causing a slight moment of daze; when they regained their senses, they found themselves standing on a green wooden platform, and before their eyes, a colossal green wooden pillar shot straight up into the sky, this green pillar resembling a mountain peak holding up the heavens, standing straight within this peculiar small space.

Upon the green wooden pillar, layers of green platforms extended outward, winding upward until they vanished from sight.

"Is this the Holy Wood Realm Cave?" Li Luo looked at the massive green wooden pillar, his eyes showing astonishment.

Instructor Xi Chan nodded slightly and smiled, "Do you want to try climbing up?"

Before Li Luo could reply, she waved her slender hand, and an invisible immense force swept out from the void, directly pushing Li Luo out until he landed on a green platform.

Li Luo quickly stabilized his stance, lowered his hands, and two short blades fell into his grasp; these two short blades were temporary Power Tools he had grabbed, not even counting as low-grade White Eye Treasures, but they should suffice for now here.

Li Luo looked around alertly; on this green platform, faint green mist lingered, and suddenly, this mist began to rapidly gather; within a few short breaths, everyone was surprised to see that the mist had actually formed several green human figures.

Whoosh!

The green human figures, holding wooden spears, the instant they appeared, wrapped in green light, rushed at Li Luo with lightning speed to strike.

Li Luo held both blades, his Power surged upward, blade light flashed, and he directly collided with these green human figures.

Upon close contact, Li Luo realized that although these green human figures had human forms, their eyes were unnervingly empty, as if they were some kind of puppets.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

On Li Luo's dual blades, water light circulated at high speed; his figure moved as if gliding over water, and in the instant they crossed, the blade light swept across the necks of these green human figures.

He sheathed his blades and stood, his expression showing no disturbance; the strength of these green human figures was merely around the first mark of the Formed Mark stage, hardly posing any threat to him.

The instant these green human figures were slain by Li Luo, everyone present clearly saw them begin to twist, and finally transform into wisps of mysterious green energy currents; these currents rose up and flew toward where Li Luo stood.

"Absorb them."

Li Luo originally wanted to dodge, but Instructor Xi Chan's voice rang out at that moment, causing him to steady his stance; after a slight hesitation, he allowed those green energy currents to surge toward him.

The moment the green energy currents touched his body, they rapidly merged into him.

The instant they merged, Li Luo clearly felt an exceptionally pure energy flowing through his body; that energy was so pure and gentle that it effortlessly merged directly into Li Luo's two Power Palaces, and was then absorbed at the fastest speed by his two Power Seeds.

It seemed as if no refinement was needed at all!

Moreover, what most shook Li Luo's heart was, whether it was an illusion or not, he felt that after absorbing this mysterious green energy current, his "Wood-Earth Power" had quietly become slightly more active and advanced; that feeling was as if he had refined and absorbed a drop of Spirit Water Miracle Light.

This mysterious energy current could not only easily merge into the Power Seeds to strengthen one's own Power, but also had an effect somewhat similar to Spirit Water Miracle Light?!

What kind of miraculous energy is this?!

Shock surged in Li Luo's eyes.

"These green shadows, you can call them 'Green Spirit Puppets'; they are refined by this Green Spirit Tree drawing upon the Power of the Power Tree. The higher the platform, the greater the number and strength of the Green Spirit Puppets. If you can completely defeat them, you can absorb the 'Green Spirit Energy' they transform into."

"This Green Spirit Energy is extremely pure and gentle, conflicting with no attribute of Power, so as long as it is absorbed, it can be converted into one's own Power foundation at the fastest speed. Additionally, this Green Spirit Energy has some effect on evolving one's own Power nature. In a sense, it counts as an alternative form of Spirit Water Miracle Light, though its effect is much weaker than Spirit Water Miracle Light, but better than nothing." Instructor Xi Chan's calm voice came through, also entering the ears of the other Purple Radiance students.

Unsurprisingly, this triggered shock in everyone.

Everyone requires a refinement process when absorbing energy from heaven and earth, and the efficiency of refinement depends on the energy guidance technique one cultivates; yet the so-called "Green Spirit Energy" existing here can skip this process? This would undoubtedly greatly improve cultivation efficiency.

As for the so-called effect of evolving one's own Power nature, it was even more breathtaking; after all, it is well known that only Spirit Water Miracle Light possesses such a miraculous effect, yet Spirit Water Miracle Light is extremely expensive, and long-term use entails enormous consumption. Although Instructor Xi Chan said the effect is much weaker than normal Spirit Water Miracle Light, since it is given for free, who could not like it?

Li Luo could not help but sigh; no wonder this place is generally not open to outsiders, it possesses such an effect. But one can also imagine that to condense this so-called Green Spirit Energy, a considerable price must be paid; otherwise, the academy would have no need to guard it so deeply.

"However, although Green Spirit Energy is miraculous, you must note that the daily amount of this energy is limited, and the portion allocated for our use in the First Star Court is even smaller. Therefore, if you want to obtain more Green Spirit Energy every day, each of your squads must climb upward layer by layer as quickly as possible."

"Simply put, the daily Green Spirit Energy is fixed; whichever squad climbs faster will naturally obtain more Green Spirit Energy. Do you all understand the meaning?" Shen Shen Jinxiao also spoke calmly at this moment.

The hearts of the five Purple Radiance squads all tightened.

This meaning... is that if one takes an extra bite, the other squads can only eat less, right?

Within the Holy Profound Star Academy, indeed, nowhere can escape such fierce competition.

Shen Shen Jinxiao waved his sleeve.

"No need for further words; if you are ready, your special training begins immediately."
