"Follow me," Wu Zhangkong said as he walked into the Class Zero classroom the next day.
The seven students immediately stood up and followed Wu Zhangkong out of the classroom, heading towards the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
Long Hengxu, the Dean of the Intermediate Department of the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Wu Zhangkong and the Class Zero students, he immediately greeted them, saying, "Teacher Wu."
"Dean Long," Wu Zhangkong responded expressionlessly.
Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan were already familiar with the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda, so they didn't find anything new. However, the others curiously looked around at the East Sea Pillar, one of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Eighteen Pillars.
They followed Long Hengxu and Wu Zhangkong to a primary Spirit Ascension Platform control room underground. This control room was not the same one that Jing Shaoyu had frequented before; it was slightly larger.
As usual, the staff first explained the precautions for the Spirit Ascension Platform to everyone before allowing them to enter the login pods.
Jing Shaoyu calmly lay down in the login pod. He had experienced this process too many times, so he didn't feel any discomfort or strangeness.
A moment later, Jing Shaoyu appeared in a forest. Without any hesitation, he released his Martial Soul and summoned Red Jade. At the same time, a flash of green light passed through his eyes, and he immediately identified a direction and began to move forward.
On the other side, after Xu Xiaoyan steadied herself, she also skillfully summoned her Martial Soul and Soul Spirit. She had the Soul Spirit scout ahead while she carefully followed behind, holding the Star Wheel Ice Staff. Her face was full of vigilance and worry. Although she had entered the Spirit Ascension Platform so many times, she still didn't dare to act alone. She could only pray to find Jing Shaoyu quickly.
After Gu Yue entered the Spirit Ascension Platform, she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar forest around her. A trace of resentment flashed in the depths of her eyes, and then she wandered aimlessly through the forest with a blank expression. Her actions puzzled Long Hengxu and Wu Zhangkong, who were watching the monitoring screen outside.
"Is she taking a walk?" Long Hengxu asked uncertainly.
"Yes," Wu Zhangkong nodded silently, gaining a little more understanding of Gu Yue's personality.
Zhang Yangzi was shocked by the surrounding environment as soon as he appeared. His expression was very surprised. This is a forest? What a rich life aura! No wonder the class monitor was able to raise his Soul Ring to a thousand years. This environment is simply a chosen land for him.
Thinking this, he immediately released his Martial Soul, summoned his Soul Spirit, and prepared to fight at any time.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yangzi made a decision that he would later regret. He decided to fly into the sky to explore the situation in this area with the help of altitude. He flapped the black wings behind him, propelling his body to the top of a large tree. He landed on a branch at the top of the tree, stretching his head and looking around.
"Screech—"
Suddenly, a sharp and clear hawk cry came from a distance, and then a cyan bird flew towards him from a distance. The bird's wings were retracted, posing in a predatory posture, swooping down towards him.
Zhang Yangzi naturally refused to be outdone. The second Soul Ring behind him immediately lit up, and the second Soul Skill was immediately activated, confronting the cyan bird head-on, neither willing to give in.
However, the tragedy was that the cyan bird had a group, but Zhang Yangzi was alone. Before he could react, he only felt a darkness in front of his eyes, and then he heard an annoyed voice echoing in his ears.
"Get up!"
Zhang Yangzi sat up blankly, only to find that he had left the Spirit Ascension Platform and returned to reality. After learning the process from Long Hengxu, he was immediately filled with regret.
Wang Jinxi, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin were lucky enough to land in an area less than a hundred meters apart. While Tang Wulin was meditating cross-legged after landing, Wang Jinxi and Xie Xie had already met, so the two of them walked together towards Tang Wulin's location.
Before long, they saw Tang Wulin cultivating on the grass. The two couldn't help but look at each other, wondering whether to say that Tang Wulin was carefree or ignorant. He actually dared to cultivate alone in a forest where Soul Beasts roamed, even in the Spirit Ascension Platform. This was definitely like looking for death with a lantern in the toilet!
So the two woke up Tang Wulin.
"I said, Wulin, aren't you being too carefree!" Xie Xie said speechlessly, "People enter the Spirit Ascension Platform to find Soul Beasts as soon as possible, but you're good, you cultivate first! What, are you going to use yourself as bait?"
"No," Tang Wulin shook his head and explained, "I just suddenly had some insights. Don't you think the environment of this Spirit Ascension Platform is very good?"
"Of course it's good!" Wang Jinxi said, "It is said that the forest in this Spirit Ascension Platform is exactly the same as the legendary Star Dou Great Forest!"
"Really?" Tang Wulin asked curiously.
"Hehe, I don't know either." Wang Jinxi scratched his head and chuckled.
"Enough, let's get going." Xie Xie rolled his eyes and said, "We finally got in here, we can't leave empty-handed!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi nodded in agreement, "That's right!"
So the three of them went together.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
Turning our attention back to Jing Shaoyu, after he killed a Hundred-Year Purple Spirit Wolf, Red Jade flew back from a distance, devouring the Purple Spirit Wolf's Spirit Power while chirping and reporting what it had scouted.
"You said you saw Bai Xue? Where?" Jing Shaoyu asked. Bai Xue was Xu Xiaoyan's Soul Spirit. If it was nearby, then Xu Xiaoyan should be nearby too; they couldn't be too far apart.
"Chirp~" Red Jade chirped, then flew off in one direction, and Jing Shaoyu immediately followed.
Soon, he found Xu Xiaoyan under a large tree, hugging her Star Wheel Ice Staff, squatting on the ground, shivering. Not far away, a black snake more than ten meters long was slowly moving, flicking its scarlet tongue.
"A Hundred-Year Black Snake?!" Jing Shaoyu was stunned, then revealed a wry smile. This little girl was a bit too timid, wasn't she? A mere Hundred-Year Black Snake had scared her like this? He quickly walked forward, and with a thought, dozens of straight vines and branches fell from the sky, trapping the black snake firmly in a circular cage less than a meter in diameter. Then he shouted, "Xiao Yan, don't be dazed, quickly control that black snake!"
"Ah~" Xu Xiaoyan let out a joyful cry of surprise, immediately stood up, and was about to run towards Jing Shaoyu, but then she remembered Jing Shaoyu's words, so she mustered her courage, turned to look at the location of the black snake, and with a wave of her hand, an Ice Wheel flew over.
The Hundred-Year Black Snake had just instinctively climbed onto a branch when it ran headfirst into the Ice Wheel launched by Xu Xiaoyan. Instantly, both the snake and the branch were frozen, and then it was greeted by a scorching fireball.
"Brother Shaoyu, that's great!" Xu Xiaoyan ran to Jing Shaoyu's side and hugged his arm, her face full of fear, and weakly said, "I hate these long, slippery things the most. If you hadn't come, I would have been ready to leave directly."
"You!" Jing Shaoyu poked Xu Xiaoyan's little head helplessly and said, "You're a Great Soul Master, how can you still be afraid of snakes?"
"I'm a girl, isn't it normal for girls to be afraid of snakes?" The little girl replied matter-of-factly.
What else could Jing Shaoyu say? He could only smile helplessly, then took Xu Xiaoyan and continued forward together.
At this time, Gu Yue was still leisurely strolling in the forest.
After Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Wang Jinxi easily defeated three or four Soul Beasts, they encountered a very terrifying Soul Beast, a Thousand-Year Man-Faced Demon Spider! Almost immediately, Xie Xie was sent out of the Spirit Ascension Platform by the Thousand-Year Man-Faced Demon Spider, leaving a deep psychological shadow on Xie Xie.
The remaining Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi did not dare to relax their vigilance at all, their eyes fixed on the Thousand-Year Man-Faced Demon Spider.
Tang Wulin had already activated the Gold Dragon King bloodline, and his right arm had turned into a Dragon Claw. Wang Jinxi had also activated his Martial Soul, and one of his arms had turned into a thick Bone Dragon Claw.
Fighting alongside Tang Wulin for the first time, Wang Jinxi experienced the bloodline enhancement from the Gold Dragon King aura for the first time. He felt his Martial Soul cheering and jumping, and his own strength had been greatly improved. Black Dragon Scales even appeared on his Bone Dragon Claw, which made Wang Jinxi feel very novel and also very puzzled.
Why? Why could Tang Wulin's aura cause such a huge change in his Martial Soul?
"Jinxi, be careful!"
While Wang Jinxi was thinking, he suddenly heard Tang Wulin's anxious shout. He subconsciously looked up and saw a bewitching pale woman's face appearing in front of him. Then, an extremely fishy smell entered his nose, and then he felt a burst of numbness all over his body, closed his eyes, and lost consciousness.
"Ahhh!" Tang Wulin was extremely angry. Watching his two companions "die tragically" in front of him had already made him lose his mind. He rushed towards the Thousand-Year Man-Faced Demon Spider, using all his strength, and the Dragon Claw slammed heavily on the back of the Thousand-Year Man-Faced Demon Spider.
The Man-Faced Demon Spider let out a shrill scream, then its body trembled violently, and a pile of viscous white spider silk gushed out, instantly sending Tang Wulin flying out, slamming heavily into a large tree, and then pouncing towards Tang Wulin.
At the critical moment, Tang Wulin disappeared instantly.
It turned out that the staff outside had forcibly removed him in time.
