Defeating Icefire, Encountering a Porcupine

"Sister Ice Empress?" Wu Yang Jin asked, looking at Ice Empress as if she were lost in thought.

"Hmm? Oh... um, I, I like it too, then, then thank you." Ice Empress suddenly stammered.

Where's Old Long? You're asking why he didn't show up? Sigh, he's watching the show. He knows he's not involved this time.

The next day, after rousing themselves, Wu Zhangkong and two others packed their things and headed to the Heaven Dou Spirit Ascension Platform.

result...

"Why do I have to take off all my clothes to enter the glass chamber? This is much stricter than the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City, isn't it?" Wu Yang Jin thought to himself.

But there was no other way. It was also to prevent anything from being brought in. After taking off all their clothes and everything was ready, the familiar metal rings closed and fastened their bodies, and the outer glass cover fell down.

Then, circles of light began to illuminate the familiar metal ring, and the next second, that familiar feeling returned to my body, a tingling and numb sensation, and then, in the next instant, everything went blank.

Then, I opened my eyes and saw the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. It was the same familiar air, environment, plants, etc., but this time it was the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, full of Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast, so I had to be extra careful.

"Follow me!" Wu Zhangkong said.

Then, halos rose up one by one in front of the two people, two yellow, two purple, and two black.

"By the way, after walking for a while, have you noticed anything strange? Why haven't any Soul Beasts appeared?" Wu Zhangkong asked.

"Yes, I do have that feeling. At first, I thought there were Soul Beasts lying in ambush. But it's probably because of the Simulation of the Star Dou Great Forest, plus the Soul Beasts's level and its territory, right?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Hmm, that makes some sense. However, if we compare this place to the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, as you know, the Elementary is the outer area of Star Dou Great Forest. The Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform we're currently on is essentially the Mixed Zone of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"You've been to the outer perimeter several times already, where only ordinary Soul Beasts live. These are only a few hundred or a thousand years old. But here, it's mainly the habitat of Thousand-Year Soul Beast and Ten-Thousand Year Soul Beast —it's a completely different level."

"Soul Beasts at this level of strength all have their own territories. That's why it seems like there aren't many Soul Beasts around after walking for a while," Wu Zhangkong said.

Then, in the next instant, as if in response to Wu Zhangkong, Wu Zhangkong's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a cold wind instantly rose, his Heavenly Frost Sword pointing in a certain direction.

At the same time, as Wu Yang Jin pointed, he had already looked in that direction. A deep roar, which was filled with immense power, followed by the sound of Wu Zhangkong's attack. The owner of the voice jumped out as well.

This is a giant tiger-shaped Soul Beasts that is over six meters long and more than one and a half meters tall at the shoulder. Its whole body is covered with brownish-yellow fur, on which are dense dark purple stripes.

What's most peculiar are its two eyes, one ice blue and the other fiery red, which look quite eerie.

What's even more peculiar is that it has a pair of wings on its back, with the wings being ice blue and fiery red respectively.

"This is the Icefire Demonic Tiger. This one has been cultivating for at least four thousand years, so this should be its territory. You two don't need to worry about it this time. Just protect yourselves, understand?" Wu Zhangkong said, then stepped forward to face the Icefire Demonic Tiger.

Tang Wu Lin released several strands of Blue Silver Grass to bind himself and Wu Yang Jin. He was preparing to jump if the other party pounced, but Wu Yang Jin thought that if the other party really pounced, he would just fight it and that would be the end of it.

At the same time, the Icefire Demonic Tiger suddenly roared, and then a huge ball of ice and fire rushed towards Wu Zhangkong. Wu Zhangkong did not feel any threat and immediately lit up his First Soul Ring and activated his First Soul Skill.

Then, the First Soul Skill was aimed directly at the Ice-Fire Ball and Ice-Fire Ball ball, which exploded and was cut down by Wu Zhangkong's sword threads.

The Icefire Demonic Tiger was not idle at this moment. Suddenly, its huge body leaped above Wu Zhangkong's head, and finally, with its wings spread, it hovered in mid-air.

But do you think that you can't react to this distance and time? NO, then the Icefire Demonic Tiger suddenly felt a chill and found itself in the air, suddenly feeling extremely cold.

Yes, I felt incredibly cold, and my movements were clearly suspended in the air; even trying to fly away was extremely slow.

As a result, with a loud bang, before the Icefire Demonic Tiger could react, a huge, sharp, icy blue sword beam suddenly shot up from below, reaching a length of more than ten meters, and cleaved the Icefire Demonic Tiger's body in two.

"Yang Jin, your Soul Skill activation is quite good. This Soul Skill of yours does indeed provide a significant boost," Wu Zhangkong said with his back to the two people.

That's right. Although it wasn't a big deal, the moment the Ice and Wu Yang Jin Ice-Fire Ball was slashed and the Icefire Demonic Tiger jumped up, Wu Yangjin activated the Emperor's Cold Heaven Soul Skill, which almost silently froze and slowed down the Icefire Demonic Tiger.

Then, the Icefire Demonic Tiger that had fallen to the ground chased after it and attempted to make a final roar.

"Roar..." The Icefire Demonic Tiger made its last struggle.

Then the roars of the Icefire Demonic Tiger gradually subsided, and Tang Wu Lin, after being summoned by Wu Zhangkong, delivered the final blow.

Then, it began to absorb Spiritual Energy. When Jin Yu felt the dense Spiritual Energy, it emerged. While absorbing the energy, the power of its bloodline seemed to be awakened, which felt very comfortable.

"Wulin, how are you feeling?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Hmm, it feels very comfortable, and I even feel like I've broken through. But is the Spirit Ascension complete?"

"You can only accumulate power inside the Spirit Ascension Platform. After all, this is not your true body. You will only truly ascend to the Spirit after you leave," Wu Zhangkong said.

"So that means Wulin's mission is actually complete?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"Yes, but he still has a limit to what he can absorb, so he can keep absorbing. Yang Jin, as your limit is higher than his, you two can absorb together from now on," Wu Zhangkong said.

The three continued walking inside. After absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the Icefire Demonic Tiger, things became much easier, and they no longer needed to worry about when the Soul Beasts would emerge.

Suddenly, after walking for a short while, dark green spikes flew towards Wu Zhangkong and his group.
