Tang Wulin's Soul Spirit Evolution

After killing the Earth Lizard, Su Hao turned to Gu Yue and Xie Xie and said:

"No need to make things so troublesome."

Then Su Hao pointed at the Spirit Power released by the Earth Lizard they had just killed and said to Gu Yue and Xie Xie:

"Aren't you going to absorb the Earth Lizard's Spirit Power? I've already reached my limit."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Gu Yue and Xie Xie twitched their mouths, said he was impressive, then each found a place to absorb the Earth Lizard's Spirit Power.

Just as Gu Yue and Xie Xie finished absorbing the Earth Lizard's Spirit Power, Tang Wulin, who had been crystallized nearby, was freed from his crystallization.

Tang Wulin looked extremely weak after being freed. The moment he was released from crystallization, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Xie Xie immediately stepped forward and helped him up.

After looking at the sky around them and then at Tang Wulin, Su Hao said:

"It's almost nightfall, and Wulin is very weak after being released from crystallization. The forest is extremely dangerous at night, so how about we withdraw first?"

After hearing Su Hao's words, Tang Wulin and the other two thought that he had a point and agreed.

Then, Su Hao and the other three pressed their assistance buttons one after another. The next second, a burst of White Light teleported the four of them away.

Su Hao opened his eyes and saw the familiar Metal Cabin before him. He climbed out, followed by Tang Wulin and the other two, who climbed out of the Metal Cabins beside him.

Only Tang Wulin, due to the side effects of crystallization, lost his balance again as soon as he climbed out and fell onto his backside. Xie Xie helped him up once more.

Long Hengxu and Wu Changkong stood nearby. Wu Changkong still wore a stern expression devoid of emotion, while Long Hengxu's eyes were already filled with shock.

The Staff member from the Spirit Pagoda said sincerely:

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

The Staff member's gaze was somewhat heated as he looked at Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue.

This Staff member also knew that Su Hao had joined the Spirit Pagoda. Every time Su Hao entered the Spirit Ascension Platform, some of the employees would watch from the side.

Su Hao's performance in the Spirit Ascension Platform this time had also been outstanding. Although Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had not performed as brilliantly as Su Hao, they had still worked together to kill a Hundred-year Dragon-type Soul Beast. Gu Yue, meanwhile, had managed to flee for so long under pursuit from that Thousand-year Crystal Bear, which was no simple feat either.

Finally, after Tang Wulin was crystallized, Su Hao and the other two had remained by his side without taking a single step away, showing the depth of their friendship.

Then, Wu Changkong slowly walked up to the Five People and said indifferently:

"From today onward, the six of you will be a combat squad. Captain: Su Hao. Vice-captain: Tang Wulin. Let's go."

With that, Wu Changkong took the lead toward the elevator.

Wang Jinxi looked at Tang Wulin, while Zhang Yangzi's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Although Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had worked together to kill a Hundred-year Soul Beast, Tang Wulin had later been accidentally crystallized while searching for Su Hao and the others. Even so, he had done far better than Zhang Yangzi, who had been eliminated without killing a single Soul Beast. Zhang Yangzi's competitive spirit had now completely vanished.

Su Hao's strength was even more monstrous. He had killed three Soul Beasts by himself in the Spirit Ascension Platform, including a Thousand-year Crystal Bear. In the end, he had even instantly killed a three-hundred-year Earth Lizard, leaving Zhang Yangzi unable to muster even the desire to compete.

Setting aside individual strength, Zhang Yangzi's own responses within the Spirit Ascension Platform had been far inferior to theirs.

If Jinxi's case was still understandable, since he had encountered an overwhelmingly powerful Soul Beast, then what about himself? He had practically been asking for death!

On the way back, aside from Su Hao, the other five were still immersed in today's journey through the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Zhang Yangzi was not the only one filled with regret. Tang Wulin was also reflecting on himself. If he had been a little more careful when going to look for Gu Yue, he would not have been struck by the Crystal Bear's crystal spike after its death, nor would he have been crystallized.

But without a doubt, today's battle in the Spirit Ascension Platform had brought considerable gains to all of them.

At that moment, Tang Wulin, who was walking along the road, suddenly began to sway. Xie Xie, beside him, immediately noticed.

Xie Xie quickly grabbed Tang Wulin to support him and asked:

"Wulin, what's wrong?"

Hearing Xie Xie's question, Tang Wulin said drowsily:

"I don't know what's wrong either. I'm really sleepy right now."

Then, as Xie Xie supported him, it was as though a switch had been triggered. Tang Wulin's body went limp, and he collapsed downward. Xie Xie hurriedly caught him in his arms.

Wu Changkong, who had been walking at the front, stopped in his tracks and turned around in surprise. The others also noticed that something was wrong.

In a flash, Wu Changkong arrived before Tang Wulin and grabbed his wrist.

Tang Wulin had already entered a half-asleep state. Faint gold and blue glimmers flickered across the surface of his skin, and the aura around him was extremely unstable.

When Long Hengxu rushed over and saw Tang Wulin's condition, he could not help thinking of a possibility. His expression froze as he hesitantly said:

"This situation is..."

Wu Changkong pulled Tang Wulin's arm and carried him onto his back, then said:

"He's fine. His Soul Spirit has evolved."

"What?"

Xie Xie, Gu Yue, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi were all dumbfounded. Su Hao was also somewhat surprised. He had not expected Tang Wulin's Soul Spirit to evolve even without absorbing the Crystal Bear's Spirit Power, and he could not help marveling at Tang Wulin's good luck.

On the way here, Xie Xie had told Tang Wulin that it was possible for a Soul Spirit to evolve in the Spirit Ascension Platform. But when he said it then, he had only said that it was a possibility!

Soul Spirit evolution in the Spirit Ascension Platform was exceedingly rare, like winning the lottery.

Sensing everyone's astonished gazes, Wu Changkong said:

"Tang Wulin's Soul Spirit was innately too weak, so evolution naturally came more easily.

The rules of the Spirit Ascension Platform are that for every Soul Beast you kill, you obtain its energy and fuse it into your Soul Rings. The energy is then divided equally among however many Soul Rings you have. Soul Rings below a hundred years absorb all of the energy, those below a thousand years can only absorb half, and those above a thousand years can only absorb one-tenth.

In other words, if you kill a Ten-year Soul Beast, ten years of cultivation will merge into your Soul Spirit. If your Soul Spirit originally had one hundred and ten years of cultivation, it will become one hundred and twenty years. Only after it accumulates to a thousand years can it evolve.

Tang Wulin's Soul Spirit was originally only ten years old. Today, after killing one Hundred-year Soul Beast, it became at least a Hundred-year Soul Spirit. Moreover, he only has one Soul Ring, so the energy was not divided. That is why his Soul Spirit could evolve from ten years to a hundred years.

As for you, if you want your Soul Spirits to evolve, you will need to kill at least a dozen or so Thousand-year Soul Beasts."
