Spirit Ascension Platform

The classroom fell quiet again. Wu Changkong appeared in front of Lin Xingyu once more and looked at him, sinking into thought.

At the same level, although he had not used his martial soul, he had used his physical strength, Spiritual Power, and even condensed his own Soul Power into a single point. Even then, he had only knocked Lin Xingyu to the ground with the final strike.

Lin Xingyu's Soul Power, Spiritual Power, Body Strength, martial soul strength, and Soul Skills could all be called top-tier. Even in Shrek, he would be considered rare. He only lacked battle experience. If he had even a little battle experience, Wu Changkong did not know how long it would have taken him to win.

Wu Changkong said to Lin Xingyu, "Your foundation is very good. Terrifying, even. It's just that your combat technique is a little lacking. No! I shouldn't say lacking. I should say you have no combat technique whatsoever."

No combat technique whatsoever. Lin Xingyu silently sighed in his heart. He could not be blamed for having no combat technique! In his life before last, he had been an ordinary person. In his previous life, he had only lived to twelve before suddenly dying halfway through. He had only thoroughly grasped the early stage of Martial Dao cultivation and had not learned a single martial art. Mastering one martial art required a great deal of time, and for him back then, it had been far less practical than raising his Martial Dao cultivation.

The Body Cultivation Realm did not bring any major improvement, but starting from Blood Replacement, each of the ten Blood Replacements would multiply his own strength! Judging by his situation, after ten Blood Replacements, the strength of one hand would reach six hundred and forty thousand kilograms! One million two hundred and eighty thousand jin! And that was without augmenting himself with Bloodline Power. It was pure Physical Strength. After adding Bloodline Power, it would be even more terrifying!

Moreover, in the later stage of Blood Replacement, all kinds of divine abilities would naturally form, and Martial Dao Will would be achieved. By the time one reached the ninth revolution of Golden Body, one would directly cease to be human!

And after he came to Douluo Continent, he had begun cultivating at six years old. Meditation, Martial Dao, forging, Mecha Design, manufacturing, maintenance, and theoretical knowledge had stuffed his schedule full. How could he have had the time to train combat technique? It could be said that from childhood until now, the only fight he had ever had was on the arena a few days ago.

After witnessing Wu Changkong's so-called "basic combat technique," Lin Xingyu and the other five were dragged into one battle after another with Wu Changkong.

It should not be called battle. It should be called a one-sided beating.

In class, Wu Changkong used repeated actual combat to teach the students practical combat techniques, emphasizing the key points they needed to pay attention to.

In Wu Changkong's words, battle was the best teacher. Battle could help them accumulate the most experience at the fastest speed.

Just like when Lin Xingyu and Gu Yue had teamed up to challenge Wu Changkong, First Grade Class Zero was broken apart by Wu Changkong into all kinds of combinations. Sometimes two people, sometimes three, sometimes everyone went up together. Wu Changkong did not hold back in the slightest, only going a little lighter on Gu Yue.

Lin Xingyu was knocked to the ground again and again, endured Wu Changkong's attacks again and again, and corrected his own battle habits again and again.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that his martial soul was Full-Body Armor. After adding Toughness, his defense was absolutely strong enough. On top of that, he had connected all the meridians in his body, giving him extremely strong resistance to any energy or physical attacks. When Wu Changkong's teaching whip landed on him, after being blocked by his martial soul, it could only make him feel a slight numbness! He also cooperated by letting out a scream, and after circulating his bloodline, he immediately became completely unharmed.

Afterward, because his acting was too fake, Wu Changkong saw through him and directly dragged him out for a one-on-one duel without using martial souls...

After that, Wu Changkong figured out the upper limit of Lin Xingyu's defense and directly increased his strength, making him truly scream...

Miserable screams echoed through First Grade Class Zero every day...

The school's vow to cultivate Class Zero with all its strength was absolutely not empty talk. It was a genuine massive investment. The teaching model was carefully refined, the nutritional value of the ingredients was maxed out, the teachers were all elites, and the hardware facilities were the best the school could provide. Among intermediate academies of the same type, this configuration was absolutely top-tier.

More than ten days later, when Lin Xingyu heard Wu Changkong expressionlessly announce that they were going to the Spirit Pagoda, he finally came back to himself in a daze. Before he knew it, time had already passed this quickly.

When Lin Xingyu heard the news, his heart lifted. It was here. It had finally come. The school had moved quite quickly. In just over ten days, it had already secured spots for the Spirit Ascension Platform. One entry into the elementary Spirit Ascension Platform cost five hundred thousand Federal Coins, but the spots were basically monopolized by major clans and Major Powers. If he wanted to get one himself, he would have to spend quite a few favors. Then it would be far more than five hundred thousand Federal Coins.

After Wu Changkong finished speaking, he walked ahead.

Xie Xie explained the origin and use of the Spirit Ascension Platform to Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, who did not know what it did.

Simply put, it was a half-real, half-virtual Small World. Killing soul beasts there could increase the age of one's Soul Spirit and upgrade one's Soul Rings.

After explaining, Xie Xie sighed with feeling and said, "Back when I joined Class Zero, I thought the academy's conditions weren't too harsh, and the resources were all being spent on myself, so no matter what, it wouldn't be a waste. I didn't expect the school's determination to be this great. They actually got us spots for the Spirit Ascension Platform. If Wei Xiaofeng knew, he'd probably be regretting it already, right?"

After hearing Xie Xie's explanation, Tang Wulin's heart had already flown to the Spirit Ascension Platform. Among the six people in Class Zero, he was the only one with a Ten-Year Soul Spirit.

After hearing Xie Xie's words, Zhang Yangzi was just about to clash with him when Wang Jinxi directly stopped him.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xingyu was slightly stunned, then immediately remembered. It seemed Wang Jinxi had still chosen to cultivate together with Tang Wulin. He just did not know when it had happened.

When future events occurred, he also did not know what Wang Jinxi would choose. Would he stay in Class Zero, or leave together with Zhang Yangzi?

Although Lin Xingyu felt that Wang Jinxi would most likely still leave together with Zhang Yangzi, and when the time came, First Grade Class Zero would only have him, Tang Wulin, and the other two left, Lin Xingyu felt a little melancholy for a moment.

Eastsea City's technological development did not rank highly in the Federation, but its unique advantage as an ocean port, along with the fact that one of the eighteen Spirit Pagoda branch towers was located here, had allowed Eastsea City to flourish.

Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda was a landmark building here, and could be considered the grandest building in Eastsea City.

Long Hengxu was already waiting here. When he saw Wu Changkong and the others get off the academy bus, he directly came forward to meet them.

"Teacher Wu."

"Director Long."

The two simply greeted each other, and then there was no more conversation at all. Long Hengxu did not mind this. Who let Wu Changkong be so strong? In all of Eastsea Academy, not a single person could fight better than him.

Long Hengxu directly led everyone into the Spirit Pagoda. What greeted them head-on were exquisite murals.

Lin Xingyu, Tang Wulin, Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie were all drawn in by the murals in the hall.

Lin Xingyu was thinking about whether, if Huo Yuhao had not immediately ascended back then but had stayed on Douluo Continent for some time, he could have solved the drawbacks of the Soul Spirit contract. Even if he did not turn it into a blood contract like on the neighboring Holy Demon Continent, where both lived and died together, if he had reduced some of the drawbacks of the Soul Spirit contract, given Soul Spirits some freedom, or opened up a place for Soul Spirits to live, allowing Soul Spirits to freely choose Soul Masters, what would Douluo Continent be like now? Would humans and soul beasts coexist harmoniously? Or would humans reign supreme with an even stricter hierarchy?

What did that count as? Pokémon Soul Spirits? As Lin Xingyu thought about it, he amused himself into laughing.

Gu Yue suddenly said, "Don't you think Tang Wulin and Tang Wutong are very alike? Whether it's their names or their eyes?"

Xie Xie said, "How are they alike? Even their eye colors are different. As for their names, there are plenty of people on Douluo Continent who imitate predecessors when naming their children."

Hearing this, Lin Xingyu looked at Gu Yue. Had she noticed something? And shouldn't you care a little about Huo Yuhao? He directly ascended with Star Dou's fortune! At least reflect on it a little, right? Or was she completely hiding it in her heart and not showing it?

"Let's go!" Long Hengxu said. "There will be plenty of chances to discuss things in the future. After you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, you can only rely on yourselves."

Wu Changkong continued, "The elementary Spirit Ascension Platform has restrictions on a Soul Master's cultivation. It only allows Soul Masters below the fourth ring to enter."

Long Hengxu said, "We will be watching your situation from outside. Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any problems." At this point, Long Hengxu suddenly thought of how he had kicked several good seedlings into Class Five, and suddenly felt a little less confident. There should not be any problems, right?

Long Hengxu and the staff completed a set of procedures. Two staff members explained the precautions of the Spirit Ascension Platform to Lin Xingyu and the other five while turning on the instruments and preparing all kinds of equipment. The main thing was that the button on their right hand was the entry and exit switch. If they encountered danger, they should withdraw.

"Lie down inside!" After explaining all the precautions inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, the staff let Lin Xingyu and the other five each lie down inside a metal cabinet.

The six of them were all somewhat excited. Even for Lin Xingyu, this was his first time entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, and it was also Gu Yue's first time seeing this kind of human contraption.

Lin Xingyu felt his consciousness quickly blur, entering a half-asleep state, and then he woke up again.

His eyes opened slightly, and his mind returned. He was inside the Spirit Ascension Platform. Raising his eyes, he saw a vast, boundless primeval forest surging toward him with exuberant vitality.
