As stars shifted, half a month passed. That afternoon, Jing Shaoyu wasn't in class; Liu Yun had called him to the office, along with Xu Xiaoyan.
"Get ready, we're leaving soon," Liu Yun said.
"Yes," the two replied in unison.
Xuan Kong Academy, as East Sea City's top Primary Academy, received a certain number of entry slots to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform from the East Sea Spirit Pagoda each month, something other Primary Soul Master Academies yearned for but couldn't obtain.
Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan, being Innate Full Soul Power holders, received the qualification to enter the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform only half a month after enrolling. They were the only two in the entire first grade.
They followed Liu Yun to the plaza, where a bus was parked. A middle-aged man stood beside it.
"Dean Cheng, I've brought them," Liu Yun said, quickly approaching the middle-aged man.
"Good." The middle-aged man, named Cheng De, was the Dean of Xuan Kong Academy. He nodded and said, "Jing Shaoyu, Xu Xiaoyan, get on the bus."
The two didn't hesitate and immediately boarded the bus.
Once inside, Jing Shaoyu saw the other qualified students. Including him, there were only seven. Although Xuan Kong Academy received Spirit Ascension Platform slots every month, only students in the third grade and below with Soul Power reaching level ten were eligible.
Third grade meant no older than nine years old. Becoming a one-ring Soul Master before the age of nine was already considered talented.
"Are those the two Innate Full Soul Power freshmen?"
"It must be."
Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan's arrival immediately piqued the curiosity of the other five, who whispered and discussed their opinions.
"Alright, quiet down," Cheng De said, boarding the bus and scanning the group. "We have two new students this time. The older students should take care of the younger ones, understand?"
"Understood!" the five older students replied immediately.
"Good, introduce yourselves so you can get to know each other," Cheng De said with a satisfied smile.
"I'll go first," a handsome boy said, standing up. "I'm Zhu Ziguang, third grade, Martial Soul is the Golden Scythe, a level fifteen Assault System Battle Soul Master."
"Bai Yu, third grade, Martial Soul is the Needletail Swift, a level thirteen Agility System Battle Soul Master," a girl with braids said next.
"Hello junior brother and sister, my name is Yi Yi, you can call me Sister Yi. I'm also in third grade, my Martial Soul is the adorable White Ferret, a level thirteen Assault System Battle Soul Master," a cheerful girl said.
"Ma Zhiyuan, second grade, Martial Soul is the Azure Vine, a level eleven Control System Soul Master," a simple-looking boy said.
"I'm He Jie, second grade, Martial Soul is the Dual Blades, a level twelve Assault System Soul Master," the last girl, who looked fierce, said.
After the five finished their introductions, everyone's attention turned to Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan.
"Hello, senior brothers and sisters," Jing Shaoyu introduced himself generously. "My name is Jing Shaoyu, first grade, Martial Soul is the Origin Spirit, a level thirteen Healing System Soul Master."
"Level thirteen! Healing System!" The five were doubly surprised by Jing Shaoyu's words. Level thirteen Soul Power was already the second highest among them, and this child was only in first grade! Was this the power of Innate Full Soul Power? It was truly enviable! But he was actually a Healing System Soul Master, which was quite rare.
"I'm Xu Xiaoyan, first grade, Martial Soul is the Star Wheel Ice Staff, a level twelve Control System Soul Master," Xu Xiaoyan said shyly.
"Alright, now that everyone's introduced themselves, let's go!" Cheng De said.
The bus started and headed towards the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.
"Shaoyu, little brother, why is your Soul Power so high? Logically, it hasn't even been a month since you awakened your Martial Soul, right?" A cheerful girl named Yi Yi sat behind Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan, leaning on the back of their seats, craning her neck, and asking familiarly.
Hearing this, the others perked up their ears.
"It's probably because of my Soul Spirit." Jing Shaoyu said with a smile.
"Oh, is that so? Then your Soul Spirit must be very good?" Yi Yi continued to ask, "What is it?"
"It's actually not that great." Jing Shaoyu smiled, not going into detail.
"Hehe, my Soul Spirit is the same as my Martial Soul, a cute little ferret." Yi Yi didn't stop talking, she said with a smile.
"Oh, Shaoyu, little brother, you are a healing-type Soul Master, entering the Spirit Ascension Platform might not be very advantageous for you, but it's okay, elder sister can protect you!"
"Shaoyu, little brother..."
Amidst Yi Yi's incessant chatter, the bus arrived at the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.
Led by Cheng De, the seven students walked into the Spirit Pagoda's lobby, then entered an elevator. The elevator went down, arriving at a hall, then they entered another elevator, continuing downwards, finally arriving at a circular room with several huge display screens.
This was one of the control rooms for the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
The Spirit Ascension Platform was a virtual space meticulously created by the Spirit Pagoda at a huge cost of manpower and resources. It simulated the environment of the Douluo Continent in ancient times, with various Soul Beasts. Lucky Soul Masters could even obtain Spirit Ascension effects while fighting in the Spirit Ascension Platform. The so-called Spirit Ascension was the improvement of the Soul Spirit. The simplest understanding was that a ten-year Soul Spirit could evolve into a hundred-year Soul Spirit through Spirit Ascension.
This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Soul Masters. After all, Soul Spirits were linked to Soul Rings, and which Soul Master didn't want their Soul Ring colors to be deeper and more uniform? For example, wouldn't a body full of black rings be cool?
Therefore, the Spirit Ascension Platform was highly sought after throughout the Soul Master world.
However, entering the Spirit Ascension Platform required wealth and status. The Primary Spirit Ascension Platform only opened one thousand admission slots each month, and each entry required paying 500,000 Federal Currency. Note that it cost 500,000 Federal Currency to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, not that 500,000 Federal Currency could get you into the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform! The admission slots for the Spirit Ascension Platform were worth far more than 500,000 Federal Currency!
It was said that the Spirit Pagoda was as rich as a country. The money from entering the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform each month alone was 500 million in revenue, not to mention the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, the Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform, and the Spirit Pagoda's main business of Soul Spirit franchise.
"There are a total of seven places for entering the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform this time, with unlimited time. When you feel unable to face the dangers within, press your SOS Beacon to return here." A staff member stepped forward and said to the students, but only Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan were listening attentively, after all, it was their first time here.
"The following are the precautions, please listen carefully..." The staff member said seriously.
After the staff member finished speaking about the precautions, Jing Shaoyu was already eager to try. As a staff member pressed a button, seven metal cabins slid out of the wall of the room. These metal cabins were the log-in devices for the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
"Lie down inside."
Jing Shaoyu entered the second to last metal cabin and lay down. Many instrument suction cups emerged from the cabin, tightly adhering to his body, making him feel a little uncomfortable, but as the voice of the staff outside sounded, this discomfort disappeared.
"Get ready to start, prepare yourselves." The staff member responsible for logging in reminded, "Relax your whole body, let your mind wander. The light will scan you in a moment, there will only be a little discomfort, just bear with it."
As the staff member's words ended, Jing Shaoyu's eyes slowly darkened. It turned out that their metal cabins were slowly sliding into the original wall.
A tingling sensation like an electric shock instantly spread throughout his body. He felt something trying to invade his body. His Soul Power and blood were stimulated, and they all produced stress-induced fluctuations. The tingling sensation of electric shock not only did not disappear, but became stronger and stronger, making his whole body a little numb, causing him to feel a burst of sleepiness. When he was drowsy, he really wanted to complain.
So, the way to log into the Spirit Ascension Platform is through electricity? After an unknown amount of time, Jing Shaoyu's body shook, and his consciousness instantly cleared. The surrounding light made him realize that he had entered the Spirit Ascension Platform world. The red button on the back of his right hand should be the SOS Beacon. As for here, his gaze turned to the surroundings.
An endless group of trees, an endless thicket of shrubs, as far as the eye could see, a vibrant and beautiful scene of all things growing, as if he was in a Primeval Forest. He felt very comfortable, and even his Martial Soul involuntarily released itself.
