Chapter 236: A-class Spirit Robe
Bern Island.
Core laboratory.
The lights were dim, with only a few fluorescent lamps casting a dark red glow onto a circular pedestal in a glass room.
A Maine Coon cat with golden hair sat in the center of the pedestal, its head tilted back and its eyes closed.
Around the pedestal stood ten Third-stage Spirit Masters, their hands pressed against the transmission pads on the edge of the pedestal, continuously outputting Spirit Particles. Their faces were gradually paling.
A large amount of Spirit Particles converged in the center of the pedestal and poured into the Maine Coon cat.
“Lord Berna, this won’t do,” one subordinate said, walking up to the tall, lanky man. “This is the fourth batch of people, and the Spirit Pressure is simply not enough.”
Berna’s gaze was sinister. He frowned and stared at the Maine Coon cat in the glass room for a long time before speaking in a deep voice, “Go and get the Fourth-grade Spirit materials from the secret vault and feed them to it!”
“Fourth-grade Spirit materials!” the subordinate exclaimed in surprise. “My Lord, the price is too steep—”
“Stop your damned nonsense and hurry!”
“Yes!”
The subordinate did not dare to argue and respectfully withdrew from the laboratory.
The Maine Coon cat in the glass room was an awakened A-class Spirit Paper. No one knew how this Spirit Paper had come to life, but regardless of the reason, Berna only wanted to activate it and revive it as soon as possible!
A-class Spirit Paper was different from B-grade and C-grade.
B-grade and lower-grade Spirit Papers were basically inscribed with Spirit Materials by Spirit Masters after they had comprehended and created new Spirit Robes.
However, A-class Spirit Papers were naturally formed, like spiritual fruits, treasures bestowed upon humanity by natural laws.
If someone could create an A-class Spirit Robe, they could naturally inscribe A-class Spirit Paper.
Of course, this was all theory. Throughout history, no human had been able to create an A-class Spirit Robe.
Furthermore, A-class Spirit Robes also possessed Enlightenment Marks, which could help Spirit Masters more easily comprehend Spirit Particle Structures.
Depending on the number of Enlightenment Marks, A-class Spirit Robes could be classified as single-mark or multi-mark Spirit Robes.
Most A-class Spirit Robes were single-mark, capable of helping only one Spirit Master achieve enlightenment and learn the Spirit Particle Structure of an A-class Spirit Robe.
Without the aid of Enlightenment Marks, no one in this world could learn an A-class Spirit Robe, not even the greatest genius, the First Pillar State, Your Excellency Huang Ye.
The Maine Coon cat before Berna was an A-class single-mark Spirit Robe. Berna’s subordinates were continuously infusing Spirit Pressure into it with the sole purpose of activating the Enlightenment Mark.
Now, he spared no expense in consuming precious Spirit Materials, and it was estimated that the activation would be completed in one or two more days!
However, at this moment, the Maine Coon cat in the glass room slowly opened its eyes. Its golden eyes exuded a contemptuous aura, and it spoke arrogantly:
“Human, give up. I, this meow, said that only a true genius is qualified to gain my approval! To obtain the Enlightenment Mark.”
“And you? You are not worthy!”
“… ”
This was the troublesome aspect of awakened Spirit Robes – they had flaws in their thinking. But it didn’t matter; if it was a true genius, it was a true genius.
The so-called true genius, according to this cat, referred to a super Spirit Master who could learn an A-class Spirit Robe within two and a half years.
Few in history had been able to achieve this.
However, Berna smiled lightly and said nothing. Since he had already paid such a great price, he naturally had a way to become a true genius and gain the recognition of this foolish cat.

“No, you are a wanted criminal right now.”
When Xia Feng proposed going to Bern Island together, Freya was grateful, but she didn’t want to involve her student.
Moreover, Xia Feng’s situation was already quite dangerous.
“No? Why not?” Xia Feng raised his eyebrows. Freya leaned weakly against the pillow, her delicate eyebrows furrowed. “Because I’m your teacher, and if I say no, it’s no.”
“A wise person once said, when a girl says no, it means yes! Okay, I understand, Teacher.” Xia Feng patted Freya’s shoulder and looked at the cockpit, excitedly clenching his fist. “Miss Q, let’s set off! Target, Bern Island!”
Freya: “…”
As expected, after not seeing him for several months, although Xia Feng’s temperament seemed more mature, his behavior was still a bit rebellious and self-willed, completely disregarding her as his teacher.
Freya felt that she needed to maintain some teacherly dignity. She put on a serious expression and said, “Don’t be flippant. Teacher is speaking seriously to you. Bern Island is heavily guarded. Even if you come to help me, frankly, it won’t be of any use!”
She knew Xia Feng was a genius and was likely at least a Second-stage Spirit Master now, and would soon reach Third-stage, or even Fourth-stage, but this still required time to develop.
Going to Bern Island now would be like sending him to his death as cannon fodder.
Of course, going alone would also make her cannon fodder. However, her identity was special, and even if she were discovered, Berna wouldn’t dare to do anything to her.
“Xia Feng, did you hear me—Mmph—” As she was speaking, her voice suddenly cut off as a string of bright red and glistening Tanghulu was shoved roughly into her rosy mouth.
Her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked up.
Xia Feng’s black eyes looked down, and he blinked. “Teacher, is it sweet?”
!
“…” Freya was stunned. She subconsciously stuck out her small tongue and licked it. The sweetness seeped into her tongue, instantly whetting her appetite.
She hadn’t eaten for days and had suffered such a serious injury; she was already starving.
Xia Feng’s sudden action jolted her awake, and she felt ravenous.
She raised her eyes to look at Xia Feng, her tongue coated with sugar glaze, and bit down on a Tanghulu.
Seeing that Teacher Freya had finally shut up, Xia Feng took out five bags of bread and a cup of water from the Nascent Ten Space and handed them to her to replenish her energy.
After eating her fill, Freya lay back with a slight blush of satisfaction on her little face, her beautiful eyes narrowed contentedly, and she mumbled softly, “If only there was some wine…”
“…”
The student in the distance quietly watched the sea view outside the window, showing no reaction.
“Sigh, if only there was some wine,” Freya mumbled a little louder.
Still no reaction.
“…” Freya couldn’t hold back any longer. She propped herself up slightly and lightly kicked Xia Feng’s waist with her bare feet under her loose martial arts uniform.
“Hmm?” Xia Feng turned his head.
“Is there any wine?” Freya asked with hopeful beautiful eyes.
Xia Feng spread his hands and smiled, “We can get some supplies when we get to Bern Island. By the way, Teacher Freya, what was your original plan?”
Freya knew she couldn’t dissuade him and thought for a moment before pursing her lips. “Tomorrow there’s a dance party on Bern Island. According to my plan, I’ll sneak in during the party…”
Teacher Freya briefly explained her plan and introduced the dance party.
Xia Feng gradually understood that this dance party was essentially a disguised auction, where items not available on the market were sold.
What surprised Xia Feng was that not only were there Fourth-grade Spirit materials of the Wood Attribute at this auction, but there was also the extremely rare Obsidian.
During the many days of sailing at sea, Mu Qingtong had been cultivating from time to time, and her Spirit Pressure had already reached the peak of Third-stage, and she would soon meet the conditions for promotion to Fourth-stage.
Mu Qingtong had mentioned that she had collected more than half of the Fourth-grade Spirit materials long ago and only lacked a few items.
Xia Feng rubbed his chin. It seemed that going to Bern Island was indeed unavoidable!
