Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear

Wang Jinxi said, "Captain, everyone, I'll see you outside the Spirit Ascension Platform. I'm already at my limit. With my current Spiritual Power, even absorbing the spiritual energy that's left is a little difficult. Compared with my Body Strength, my Spiritual Power is far too weak. Next, I need to raise my Spiritual Power as much as I can. Fortunately, I at least survived two hours in this assessment and achieved the goal Teacher Wu set. That counts as breaking through my previous limits."

The moment he finished speaking, Wang Jinxi pressed the red button on the back of his right hand and left the Spirit Ascension Platform. As soon as Wang Jinxi left the Spirit Ascension Platform, the spiritual energy that had been circling around his body was immediately divided evenly among the others.

The second person to leave was beyond Lin Xingyu's expectations. In Lin Xingyu's estimate, the second to withdraw should have been Zhang Yangzi or Xie Xie.

In the end, the second to leave was Tang Wulin. His Soul Spirit should have reached around nine hundred and eighty years, but his Spiritual Power was just that tiny bit short of reaching the Spirit Connection Realm. His Spiritual Power could not withstand a Thousand-Year Soul Spirit. Because Tang Wulin only had one Soul Ring, all the spiritual energy he absorbed was added to that one Soul Ring, making his Soul Spirit's age rise the fastest.

Amid the joy of his Soul Spirit being on the verge of evolving, and the frustration that it could not evolve after all, Tang Wulin held an extremely complicated state of mind as he looked at his swelling Soul Spirit, Little Goldlight, and helplessly left the Spirit Ascension Platform.

The third to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform was Zhang Yangzi. As soon as Zhang Yangzi left, Xie Xie followed right after him. Ever since the Promotion Tournament, these two had been at odds. They had even chosen the same secondary profession. Whether in daily life or in battle, they competed with each other at every turn. This time, the two of them seemed to be competing as well. In the end, because Twin Martial Souls strengthened his body a little more, Xie Xie successfully left after Zhang Yangzi.

Xie Xie would probably go out and mock Zhang Yangzi right to his face.

In the end, only Lin Xingyu and Gu Yue were left.

Lin Xingyu looked at Gu Yue and said, "Let's go. How much more spiritual energy can you absorb? Can you reach a thousand years?"

Gu Yue said coldly, "My Body Strength is a little worse. I can probably absorb another hundred years of spiritual energy. I can't reach a thousand years."

Lin Xingyu nodded solemnly, as if he believed her. As the others left the Spirit Ascension Platform, the concentration of spiritual energy around Lin Xingyu's body reached five to six hundred years. He was now a three-ring Soul Elder, so it could probably raise each of his Soul Rings by around two hundred years. From entering the Spirit Ascension Platform until now, the spiritual energy Lin Xingyu had gained was already about fifteen hundred years.

Lin Xingyu, who was sensing the surrounding situation through his magnetic-field ability, suddenly stopped. A flash of delight crossed his eyes. Just now, at the edge of what his Magnetic Field Control could sense, he had felt an extremely sharp aura.

Almost instantly, Lin Xingyu determined what Soul Beast's aura he had sensed.

Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear!

This gatekeeper of the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform! It was the target he most hoped to find right now! Little Bear Claw, here I come!

Without showing a thing, Lin Xingyu glanced at Gu Yue beside him. Why had this girl still not left? Hadn't she just said she was almost at her limit? Why was she still in here?

Lin Xingyu thought it seemed he would have to hurry her along. With her here, because he had to take care of a classmate, he had no way to openly challenge the Soul Beast, and Wu Changkong was still watching outside! If he wanted to kill this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, he needed a proper reason!

As time passed, Gu Yue quietly glanced at Lin Xingyu. Something was off with this guy. He had already asked twice when she was leaving.

Gu Yue had always been somewhat curious about Lin Xingyu. To be precise, from the first time Lin Xingyu defeated her, Gu Yue had paid close attention to him. He was a rare genius among humans. During their first exchange, Gu Yue had determined that his Spiritual Power had definitely already reached the Spirit Sea Realm. At the time, Gu Yue had still been somewhat puzzled. Were human geniuses all this outstanding?

When she later saw in Class Zero that this guy's Spiritual Power was just short of the Spirit Sea Realm, Gu Yue knew Lin Xingyu usually hid far more than one trick. After seeing Lin Xingyu's terrifying fundamental qualities, Gu Yue became even more deeply puzzled. Even if you usually ate a little more, your body did not show any absurd bloodline, and with Lin Xingyu's circumstances, it would also be very hard for him to obtain any top-grade heavenly treasures. What right did you have to possess such excellent foundations? By relying on your hard work?

So when she and Wu Changkong were planning to teach basic combat techniques, Gu Yue had deliberately used Lin Xingyu as an example because she wanted to see his performance. Lin Xingyu's performance was indeed excellent, but it did not force out the trump cards he had hidden at all. After seeing the Soul Skill Lin Xingyu had created himself, Gu Yue was certain this guy had hidden more than one move. This guy truly was an extraordinary genius!

During this team-up, Gu Yue had always wanted to see whether Lin Xingyu had anything else hidden. Just how far could a human genius go? She could use humanity's performance to decide what level of talent she herself should display.

In the end, after following Lin Xingyu around in circles for half a day, Gu Yue helplessly sighed. If she kept acting, it would become a little fake. She said helplessly, "Captain, I've reached my limit too. From here on, it's just you. You have to be careful!"

When Lin Xingyu heard this, his heart filled with joy. You're finally leaving. Now he could start moving freely. Killing the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear could be said to be him challenging a powerful enemy, not a reason he had avoided it. So he said regretfully, "It's all right. Since you've reached your limit, then leave. Don't hurt yourself because of this and affect your future. That would be a huge problem."

Gu Yue nodded and pressed the red button on her right hand. Her figure vanished from the Spirit Ascension Platform.

As soon as Gu Yue left, Lin Xingyu instantly let out a breath of relief. She was finally gone!

Lin Xingyu took a breath and walked toward the place where he had sensed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

On the way toward the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, the aura on Lin Xingyu's body grew more and more terrifying.

The Fire Element and Gold Element in the air gathered toward Lin Xingyu's body at incredible speed. The patterns on his Crimson Gold Armor lit up one after another. Then all three Soul Rings on Lin Xingyu's body lit up at the same time.

Eight small swords with only blades and no hilts condensed in the air. Together with the one in the hands of his Soul Spirit, Aya, there were nine flying swords in total. These small swords hovered in the air around Lin Xingyu's body, their blades giving off Crimson Gold light and an extremely sharp feeling.

Lin Xingyu continuously converted his Soul Power into Glazed True Fire and stuffed it into the flying swords, strengthening their power.

Lin Xingyu also imbued the nine flying swords with the two traits he had obtained. Sharpness and Toughness enhanced the flying swords!

Then the Spellbreak ability brought by his third Soul Skill was also imbued into these nine little flying swords. As Lin Xingyu did all this, his Soul Power was consumed at a frenzied speed.
