Thousand-Year Dragon Ape

In the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform, even during the Rampage Period, the strongest Soul Beasts were only Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

If they killed this Thousand-Year Soul Beast with ease, then after this, the people in the team would obey Lin Xingyu's orders even more. It was like soldiers in ancient wars trusting a general who led them to victory even more.

As Lin Xingyu's order was given, everyone felt courage filling their chests. In an instant, it was as if there was nothing worth fearing anymore. Valiant Trait! This was the trait of Lin Xingyu's martial soul. As Lin Xingyu's martial soul drew closer to its Second Awakening, it could already enhance his teammates to a certain extent!

Everyone slowly advanced toward this Thousand-Year Dragon Ape. Suddenly, the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape looked toward the place where Lin Xingyu and the others were!

"Let's go. This Dragon Ape should have some kind of scouting ability. It's discovered us!"

Lin Xingyu walked at the very front with his longsword in hand. On his shoulder, Aya also had a small sword with only a blade and no hilt floating in her hand, golden-red light constantly flashing over it.

Lin Xingyu raised his hand and, as usual, launched a Force Field Impact at it. The moment Lin Xingyu's attack shot out, an earthy-yellow light burst directly from the Dragon Ape's body. It roared and charged at Lin Xingyu, while swinging an earthen staff nearly three meters long in its hand.

Intense earth elements rapidly gathered around Gu Yue. Xie Xie swiftly hid himself, searching for an opportunity.

With a thought from Zhang Yangzi, the Dark Eagle flying in the sky spat down a beam of black light, accurately striking the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape and rapidly corroding the earthy-yellow light around its body.

Lin Xingyu drew up his strength and charged at the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape.

Tang Wulin rushed out behind Lin Xingyu. Strands of Blue Silver Grass spread out, hugging the ground and the shrubs, reaching the Dragon Ape's position the fastest and winding toward it.

The Dragon Ape's ordinary earthy-yellow light suddenly flared brightly. Its body swelled by half a meter out of thin air, and with a burst of strength, it broke free from the Blue Silver Grass's binding.

The Dragon Ape's eyes turned crimson—berserk.

Taking advantage of the Blue Silver Grass entangling the Dragon Ape, Lin Xingyu seized the initiative. He exerted strength with both hands, gripping the greatsword in his hands tightly, and the two-meter-long Greatsword slashed straight at the Dragon Ape!

The Dragon Ape brought up the stone staff in its hand to meet it.

The expected scene of both sides retreating after the collision did not occur. The sword in Lin Xingyu's hand directly cut through the stone staff in the Dragon Ape's hand and chopped toward the Dragon Ape's shoulder, directly cutting off Long Yuan's right arm! Sharpness, Spellbreak, Toughness!

"Roar!"

The Dragon Ape let out an enraged and miserable roar. No blood gushed from the Dragon Ape's wound. Instead, Glazed Color flames appeared there and burned, seeming to bore into its body! As if they wanted to burn its blood, bones, and muscles to nothing!

At that moment, Gu Yue erupted. Powerful earth elements instantly appeared beneath the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape, forming a sharp stone spike that grew out from the ground between the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape's legs.

"Roar!" This strike, by sheer coincidence, landed right where it dealt a fatal blow to the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape, making it let out a shrill roar.

Tang Wulin stepped forward and smashed his Forging Hammer hard onto the Soul Beast's body.

With a bang, the Thousand Forges Sinking Silver Hammer flew back upside down, but the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape was also jolted until its whole body trembled, freezing in place.

Lin Xingyu swung his sword back, and a head as large as a dou shot straight into the sky. At the same time, Glazed Color flames also ignited over the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape's body.

Even though its whole body was covered in thick scales that gave it tremendous defensive power.

Even though its Dragon Bloodline gave it extremely powerful strength, physique, and Soul Skills, and the ape-like structure of its body gave it excellent speed.

At this moment, it could still only collapse powerless to the ground, the flames burning quietly over its mangled body.

Thousand-Year Dragon Ape slain!

Amid a soft light and shadow, something floated out from the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape's body and turned into a faint purple halo, circling Lin Xingyu. This was the Thousand-Year Dragon Ape's spiritual energy.

Lin Xingyu glanced around and discovered that no one had suffered much injury, then said, "Resume formation. Keep moving."

After the battle ended, the people present looked at Gu Yue with a faint chill.

They had just hunted a Soul Beast here. Staying here too long was not a wise decision.

Tang Wulin withdrew his Blue Silver Grass vines and continued following on Lin Xingyu's right. The others also quickly returned to their own positions.

Over these three months, their training together had still been very effective. In the past, if Lin Xingyu faced a Thousand-Year Soul Beast alone, he would always have to fight fiercely for a while before he could kill it. Now, with the team cooperating, Lin Xingyu had only launched three attacks before his teammates controlled this Thousand-Year Soul Beast, which was equivalent to delivering it into his hands and letting him kill it!

Over the past three months, whether it was training in the Spirit Ascension Platform or sparring against Wu Changkong, the combat experience of the six members of Class Zero had risen rapidly.

Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Rampage Period, the number of Soul Beasts had greatly increased, but their aggression had also grown much stronger.

But under Lin Xingyu's Magnetic Field Control, finding traces of Soul Beasts was not difficult. Lin Xingyu could easily determine the number and strength of the Soul Beasts, while Zhang Yangzi could determine their species, allowing them to hunt Soul Beasts with precision.

For low-level Soul Masters, if they wanted to raise their Soul Spirits to the thousand-year level, they either had to possess powerful strength like Lin Xingyu and be able to hunt Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, or have powerful scouting abilities and discover Soul Beast traces early, allowing them to carry out targeted hunts.

Or they could be brought into the Spirit Ascension Platform by a high-level Soul Master to farm spiritual energy, just like in the original work, where Tang Wulin was brought into the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform by Wu Changkong and obtained a Thousand-Year Soul Spirit.

As for people like Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi, relying only on their own strength, they had entered the Spirit Ascension Platform eleven times over these three months, but in truth, none of their Soul Spirits had improved by much, generally still not reaching three hundred years. If they wanted their Soul Spirits to evolve, they could only rely on slowly accumulating it bit by bit. Among low-level Soul Masters, this was already quite good.

Most of the time when they entered the Spirit Ascension Platform, they were the ones being chased down by Soul Beasts.

This time, the Rampage Period Spirit Ascension Platform allowed everyone to enter as a group, and Lin Xingyu directly led them in for a satisfying slaughter.

Over nearly the next hour, Lin Xingyu led everyone in hunting over a hundred Soul Beasts. Some of these Soul Beasts were at the ten-year level and were dealt with casually, but most of them were at the hundred-year level. With Lin Xingyu holding the line, they were basically all handled without injury. They even encountered three Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, all of which were heavily injured by Lin Xingyu and then easily killed. This intensity of battle, placed inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, could also be said to be terrifyingly high!

Because the time needed to absorb spiritual energy had increased by a hundred times, Xie Xie needed ten minutes to absorb the spiritual energy of a Hundred-Year Black Fur Baboon. So this spiritual energy was basically divided equally among everyone.

Basically, each person had gained nearly two hundred years of spiritual energy at minimum, letting them see hope for their Soul Spirits' evolution. Just the spiritual energy they had gained during this period was almost equal to the results of nearly three months of their previous hard work!

As for the Thousand-Year Soul Spirit on Lin Xingyu, it could be said that there was not a single person in Class Zero who did not yearn for it! A Thousand-Year Soul Ring and a Hundred-Year Soul Ring could be said to be on two different levels!
