End of the Spirit Ascension Platform Journey, Soul Spirit Evolution (Third Update)

The Spirit Ascension Platform Journey Ends, Soul Spirit Evolves (Third Update)

"That kid... is a Third-Level Forging Master!"

Standing beside Long Hengxu, Wu Zhangkong spoke calmly, the pride on his face undisguised.

"Is... is that true? How old is he? How did he already become a Third-Level Forging Master?"

Seeing Long Hengxu's incredulous expression, Wu Zhangkong's lips curled upward as he continued, "I think he's probably only one assessment away from the fourth level!

When he first enrolled, he had already passed the Third-Level Forging Master assessment.

Tang Wulin had also passed the Second-Level Forging Master assessment at that time!"

Hearing Wu Zhangkong's words, Long Hengxu's eyes widened.

Wu Zhangkong had truly found treasure. Not only did he have three students with Twin Martial Souls, he also had two remarkable forging masters.

A nine-year-old Second-Level Forging Master and a nine-year-old Third-Level Forging Master.

Even across the entire Douluo Continent, it would be difficult to find anyone more outstanding than them.

Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, the thousand-year Crystal Bear that had been knocked down by the Thousand-Tempered Silver Hammer flashed with yellow light and swiftly roared as it charged toward Long Yuan.

"You two, get away from here!"

Seeing this, Long Yuan signaled for Gu Yue and Xie Xie to retreat. He swung up the Thousand-Tempered Silver Hammer again and charged toward the thousand-year Crystal Bear.

With a wave of his hand, layers of Water Curtains appeared around his body.

Under his control, the Water Curtains splashed toward the thousand-year Crystal Bear.

The thousand-year Crystal Bear was as though it had been drenched by a torrential downpour, its entire body instantly soaked.

It even instinctively raised its head to look at the sky, only to discover that it was not raining, leaving it utterly confused.

But at that moment, the surrounding temperature suddenly plummeted.

Wherever the thousand-year Crystal Bear had been soaked by water, a thick layer of ice instantly formed.

Even its eyes were frozen shut.

The entire bear was frozen in place in an instant, becoming a towering ice sculpture.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Long Yuan put away the Thousand-Tempered Silver Hammer and used Ice Element Control again. Riding the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon, he descended onto the thousand-year Crystal Bear's shoulder.

The original story had stated that the Crystal Bear's weak point was behind its neck. That area was relatively fragile, and its central nervous system was located there.

Long Yuan activated the Golden Dragon King Bloodline again. His right hand glowed as Dragon Scales instantly covered it, and Dragon Might radiated outward.

With a thought, the ice behind the Crystal Bear's neck instantly melted away and flowed off, exposing its neck.

Without hesitation, Long Yuan struck down with a Golden Dragon Claw.

With a tearing sound, the thousand-year Crystal Bear's neck was crushed in a single strike.

Long Yuan immediately leaped away, flying over twenty meters under the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon's lead.

If the Crystal Bear had not died from that attack and counterattacked, its power would have been immense.

Roar...

Sure enough, once the ice element lost its effect, the thousand-year Crystal Bear's eyes flew open. It howled toward the sky, its bear paws wildly clawing in every direction.

The surrounding bushes were instantly pulverized, huge rocks exploded, and gravel scattered everywhere. The entire area was left in ruins.

But after struggling a few times, blood sprayed from the thousand-year Crystal Bear's neck. Finally, with a bang, it collapsed.

The Golden Dragon Claw's crushing property was unstoppable.

Combined with Long Yuan's current enormous strength of several thousand jin, anything hard that was struck by the Golden Dragon Claw could be shattered.

The Crystal Bear's neck and cervical vertebrae had just been crushed together. It had been a fatal blow.

The thousand-year Crystal Bear lay on the ground and struggled a few times before exploding with a bang, crystal fragments scattering everywhere. Many of the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees instantly turned to dust.

Knowing this would happen, Long Yuan had already run far away and was not injured.

Only then did the Crystal Bear completely die.

"You two go absorb it!"

Long Yuan looked at Gu Yue and Xie Xie, signaling for them to absorb the Crystal Bear's energy and raise their Soul Spirits' age.

"No, this should belong to you!"

"That's right, you killed it. You should absorb it!"

Both of them refused. This should belong to Long Yuan.

"Alright then. I'll help you two later!"

Long Yuan did not hesitate and appeared before the Crystal Bear.

The White Dragon Martial Soul was released, and the Soul Spirit Water Dragon appeared on his shoulder.

At that moment, a faint purple glow radiated from the thousand-year Crystal Bear. Guided by Long Yuan, it was completely devoured by the Water Dragon.

After finishing the absorption, Long Yuan, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie continued onward together.

They continued deeper into the Spirit Ascension Platform, hunting Soul Beasts elsewhere to increase their soul spirits' age.

The rules of the Spirit Ascension Platform were that for every Soul Beast killed, one-tenth of its age in energy could be absorbed into one's own soul rings.

If one had several soul spirits, the energy would be divided evenly among them.

If they wanted to increase their soul spirits' age, they had to kill more Soul Beasts.

With enough luck, their soul spirits might even evolve.

In the original story, Tang Wulin's Golden Light Soul Spirit had continuously evolved within the Spirit Ascension Platform.

In the end, it had become incredibly powerful.

Long Yuan and the other two specifically sought out powerful Soul Beasts to hunt.

Whenever they encountered something even stronger, the three of them joined forces.

Thus, the three traveled together and hunted around thirty Soul Beasts.

The three evenly divided and absorbed the energy, enhancing their soul spirits.

At last, they encountered another Thousand-Year Level Soul Beast, one even more terrifying than the Crystal Bear.

Even when Long Yuan unleashed the Golden Dragon Claw, he was unable to kill it.

At the critical moment, the three had no choice but to press the Rescue Signal Device.

Their vision went dark, and they vanished from the forest.

As the darkness brightened again, the three almost simultaneously sprang out of their metal cabinets and returned to the real world.

"Promising talents, truly promising talents! Are you sure these children are really only nine years old?"

The Spirit Pagoda staff looked at Long Yuan and the other two with astonishment written across their faces.

Long Yuan in particular had performed far too brilliantly when he killed the Thousand-Year Crystal Bear and the Unicorn Dragon.

Gu Yue's Element Control was also exceptionally formidable. Every move was perfectly timed, and she could use multiple elemental abilities at once.

Xie Xie's performance had also been outstanding.

No wonder Eastsea Academy had been willing to spend so much money to send them to the Spirit Ascension Platform for training. It would be immensely beneficial to them.

"Mm, not bad, not bad! For your first time entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, you managed to stay in there for so long!"

When Long Yuan and the other two appeared, Long Hengxu gave them a thumbs-up.

By then, the other three had already come out long ago.

However, none of them looked very well.

What had happened in the Spirit Ascension Platform still lingered in their minds.

The dangers they had encountered had felt real, and they had left a great impact on them.

"Let's go. We're heading back."

Wu Zhangkong spoke indifferently and headed outside.

Long Yuan and the other five, along with Long Hengxu, bade farewell to the Spirit Pagoda staff and quickly followed him.

After returning, Long Yuan and the others each went back to their own dormitories.

They began reflecting on their experiences in the Spirit Ascension Platform, digesting what they had gained.

After returning, Long Yuan washed up briefly before entering a meditative state.

Before long, he sensed the changes within himself.

His century-level soul spirit, Water Dragon, had actually evolved and risen to the Thousand-Year Level.

His Soul Power had also reached the twenty-second rank, the Soul Grandmaster realm.

The Thousand-Year soul spirit Water Dragon could provide three soul rings. Although the spiritual energy it absorbed was evenly distributed among the three soul rings, he had absorbed a considerable amount of spiritual energy in the Spirit Ascension Platform this time, so he still possessed three Thousand-Year Level soul rings.

At the Soul Grandmaster realm, he now displayed two purple soul rings.

His previous yellow soul ring had advanced, becoming a Purple Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

In other words, he now possessed two Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

His physique and strength had also improved considerably, which was related to his absorption of the Unicorn Dragon's bloodline.

However, when he slept at night, he had nightmares about everything that had happened in the Spirit Ascension Platform.

The others experienced similar symptoms as well.

Although the environment within the Spirit Ascension Platform was an illusion, once one was immersed in it, it felt very real.

The sensation of fighting Soul Beasts was almost identical to reality.

When they were injured, they bled and felt pain.

Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, and the others had also increased their soul spirits' age.

Their Soul Power had increased considerably as well.
