Evil Killer! (Please Keep Reading)

After making his way through the forest for a while,

Zhao Tao soon encountered his first enemy!

It was a Huge Figure, standing four meters tall and covered in a thick layer of Gray Scales.

At the center of its forehead was a Long Horn that gleamed with a sharp, chilling light!

A Unicorn Dragon, a type of Earth Dragon, possessed formidable offensive and defensive abilities!

Judging by the length of its horn, the Unicorn Dragon Zhao Tao had encountered was around five hundred years old!

It sensed Zhao Tao's presence.

The Unicorn Dragon let out an enraged roar, accelerated on two feet, and charged at Zhao Tao!

Although its body appeared clumsy and cumbersome,

when it sprinted at full speed, it was not slow at all!

Like a train racing at full speed, it smashed through tree after tree as it charged madly toward him!

"Good!"

Facing the Unicorn Dragon now within arm's reach, Zhao Tao did not panic in the slightest. He slid beneath its body!

As he slid, Zhao Tao seized the opportunity and thrust the Time Burial Sword in his hand straight toward the Unicorn Dragon's heart!

Although the Unicorn Dragon's scales were incredibly tough, even comparable to Hundred Forged Metal,

under the corrosion of the Power of Time on the surface of the Time Burial Sword,

they were instantly eroded as if they were thin paper, then pierced through!

Pfft!

Accompanied by a dull sound,

the tip of the Time Burial Sword stabbed directly into the Unicorn Dragon's heart!

A dense surge of the Power of Time erupted, instantly withering the Unicorn Dragon's heart!

Thud!

The Unicorn Dragon's Huge Figure crashed heavily onto the ground with a boom, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Its limbs flailed for a moment before it died completely.

First kill achieved!

With the Unicorn Dragon's death,

a spherical ball of yellow light floated out of its body and merged into Zhao Tao's Aged Silkworm Spirit.

This was Spirit Energy, a special form of energy that could increase a Soul Spirit's cultivation!

It was also one of the Spirit Ascension Platform's most important resources.

"Not bad!"

Feeling waves of delight from the Aged Silkworm Spirit, Zhao Tao nodded in satisfaction and continued exploring ahead.

Meanwhile,

outside the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"Beautiful! Teacher Wu, it seems you really taught him well!"

Watching Zhao Tao's clean and decisive kill on the surveillance screen, Long Hengxu could not help clapping in praise.

Such calm and decisive handling was nothing like that of a child hunting Soul Beasts for the first time.

Long Hengxu naturally credited it to Wu Changkong's teaching.

"Zhao Tao himself is exceptionally talented. I am merely someone who shows him the way."

"However, I strongly suggest that, if possible, the academy should increase its investment in Zhao Tao."

Hearing Long Hengxu's words, Wu Changkong answered modestly.

"Mm, I'll definitely convey your suggestion to the dean!"

Though he agreed aloud, Long Hengxu secretly found it astonishing.

Has the sun risen in the west?

Wu Changkong, who was usually so strict with his students, was actually praising one of them so highly!

Zhao Tao's strength and potential were likely far greater than what he had seen!

As he thought this, Long Hengxu began observing the other students' performances on the screen.

The first person he focused on was Tang Wulin.

After all, his behavior was simply too bizarre.

After entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, he had actually climbed straight up a tree and begun meditating!

Seeing this, Long Hengxu's lips could not help twitching.

He felt that Tang Wulin was wasting a precious opportunity to cultivate.

However, Wu Changkong saw Tang Wulin's true condition—

At this moment, due to the resonance between his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and the forest, he had entered a state of deep meditation!

In this state, Tang Wulin's Soul Power quietly broke through from Rank 12 to Rank 13.

As for Xie Xie, he was currently locked in a difficult battle.

The moment he entered the forest, he had accidentally wandered into the territory of a large group of Scarlet Demon Trees and was besieged!

Fortunately, Scarlet Demon Trees were Plant Type Soul Beasts and could not move, while Xie Xie was quick-witted enough.

That was how he narrowly escaped the siege. Though he looked miserable, he was completely uninjured.

Soon, Xie Xie gained his own harvest as well!

He discovered a lone Hundred Year Long-tailed Rat and killed it!

He had also achieved his first kill!

Compared to Xie Xie's twists and turns,

Gu Yue's journey through the Spirit Ascension Platform was much smoother.

As she strolled through the dense forest,

Gu Yue's pretty face was filled with shock.

Everything around her was incomparably real. It made her miss this feeling dearly, and she loved it.

With faint anticipation and curiosity in her eyes, Gu Yue continued deeper into the forest.

Along the way, she encountered several Hundred Year Soul Beasts.

She showed them no mercy, using Elemental Power to kill them one by one.

Feeling the Spirit Energy enter her body, the surprise in Gu Yue's eyes deepened.

Such a miraculous power...

After tens of thousands of years, what kind of miracles had humanity created?

She wanted to see them for herself!

However, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were not as fortunate as Xie Xie or Gu Yue.

First was Zhang Yangzi.

Possessing the Dark Phantom Eagle, he chose to fly into the air.

He wanted to find Wang Jinxi and meet up with him.

However, a flock of Green Birds discovered him and swarmed him, forcing him to press the Distress Signal Device and leave the Spirit Ascension Platform!

As for Wang Jinxi, after entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, he encountered a pack of ten-year-old Green Wind Wolves!

After a fierce struggle, Wang Jinxi finally fought his way out of the Green Wind Wolf pack. Just as he was about to find a safe place to rest and recover his Soul Power,

he suddenly felt the sky darken in an instant.

Before he could react,

a grotesque female human face suddenly descended from above!

Looking closely, Wang Jinxi was horrified to discover that the face had grown on the underside of a giant spider!

"Th-this is a Man Faced Demon Spider!?"

Seeing this, Wang Jinxi's heartbeat could not help quickening!

This was a terrifying existence known by many titles, such as Evil Killer and Soul Beast Nightmare!

It was far beyond anything he could handle!

Thinking of this, Wang Jinxi hurriedly prepared to press the Distress Signal Device and leave the Spirit Ascension Platform.

However, the Man Faced Demon Spider was faster than him!

A strand of Spider Silk wrapped around his arm.

The next moment, Wang Jinxi's consciousness sank into darkness and chaos.

"Emergency treatment! Prepare emergency treatment!"

Faced with this sudden situation, the Spirit Pagoda staff hurriedly lifted Wang Jinxi's body out of the Metal Cabinet!

At this moment, Wang Jinxi's face was pale, and his body was convulsing without end!

The Spirit Pagoda staff immediately injected a large tube of Spirit Stabilizing Potion into Wang Jinxi's body.

Only after several full minutes did Wang Jinxi regain consciousness and slowly open his eyes, still shaken with fright!

At the same time, inside the Spirit Ascension Platform!

The Man Faced Demon Spider was about to feast when it discovered that its prey had suddenly vanished.

It circled around in confusion a few times before heading off in another direction!

"Teacher Wu, that Man Faced Demon Spider seems to be heading toward Zhao Tao's location. Should we warn him?"

Watching the direction in which the Man Faced Demon Spider was moving, Long Hengxu reminded him.

Having witnessed the Spirit Ascension Platform's backlash, he naturally did not want Zhao Tao to suffer mental trauma!

"There's no need. I believe in Zhao Tao!"

Hearing Long Hengxu's words, Wu Changkong shook his head. His gaze rested firmly and confidently on the Soul Guide Screen displaying Zhao Tao's location.
