Riot Spirit Ascension Platform

Riot Spirit Ascension Platform

With Zero Class training in the Spirit Ascension Platform once a week, everyone improved at a rapid pace.

Su Qiu returned to his day-after-day cultivation. For some reason, as his Soul Power Level continued to rise, the slowdown in his cultivation speed caused by his ultimate attribute after level thirty seemed to be having less and less effect.

He could feel a special power gradually emerging within his body, and his cultivation speed gradually increased along with it. He had now easily reached the peak of level thirty-five.

His forging had not fallen behind either. He was only one step away from Spirit Forging. Perhaps with his next practice session, he would become a level-five Blacksmith—a level-five Blacksmith not even ten years old.

Without realizing it, Gu Yue had caught up to Na'er's progress and broken through to Soul Elder.

With Zero Class's resources, Tang Wulin had reached the peak of level fifteen.

Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi were all level-twenty-two Soul Grandmasters.

Soon, the day of the Final Exam arrived.

Early that morning, Wu Changkong looked calmly at the Zero Class students. "Your Final Exam has two subjects. Do you remember the Spirit Ascension Platform I mentioned before? The Spirit Ascension Platform is the first subject."

"The Spirit Ascension Platform doesn't seem that difficult now." Xie Xie was rather pleased with himself. After all this time training, he was confident he could pass the Spirit Ascension Platform assessment.

Wu Changkong changed the subject. "Therefore, this time, you will be entering the Riot Spirit Ascension Platform."

The Riot Spirit Ascension Platform?

Even Xie Xie had never heard of that term. He hurriedly asked, "Teacher, what does a riot Spirit Ascension Platform mean?"

Apart from Su Qiu, Na'er, and Gu Yue, the others were also full of confusion.

Wu Changkong explained, "The Spirit Ascension Platform has two riot periods every year. The Soul Beasts inside are more active and more numerous, and the level of danger greatly increases. However, you will be able to enter together as a team."

Enter as a team?

Did that mean they could go in with Su Qiu?

At that, everyone turned to look at Su Qiu.

With this great god around, what did a riot period matter? Wouldn't everything just be delivered right to them?

This Final Exam was practically a free win.

Wu Changkong took in everyone's reactions but said nothing.

This assessment was actually focused mainly on spirit ascension; the training aspect was secondary. After all, riot periods were far too rare.

He continued, "What I need to remind you is that the entry limit for the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform is the peak of three Soul Rings. And entering the Spirit Ascension Platform during a riot period comes at a very high cost."

"Because whenever a riot period occurs, there are only three hundred slots in total across the Federation's Eighteen Pillars."

"Therefore, many Soul Masters only come to take this gamble when they reach the peak of three Soul Rings, to see whether they can kill more Soul Beasts and advance their Soul Spirits."

"You need to be careful of these people."

"Because in the Riot Spirit Ascension Platform, absorbing Soul Beast Spiritual Power takes one hundred seconds. During that time, others may come to steal that spiritual power."

They could steal someone else's spiritual power?

They had to watch out for other Soul Masters?

Everyone was stunned, but none of them were worried.

Zhang Yangzi immediately picked up on it. "So, besides hunting Soul Beasts, we can steal from other people too?"

He did not mention the possibility of being robbed by others.

The others' eyes lit up as well.

They had Su Qiu! Who could possibly beat this living ancestor?

Only Soul Elders could enter at most. If they teamed up with Su Qiu, wouldn't they be slaughtering everything in their path?

Wu Changkong did not refute him. By not restricting team formation, he was allowing Su Qiu to look after them more.

The benefits of the riot period were simply too great.

Afterward, Wu Changkong led the Zero Class students to the East Sea Spirit Pagoda.

Along the way, he continuously reminded them of things they needed to be careful about.

But hardly anyone listened seriously.

They had already begun fantasizing.

With Su Qiu leading them, could they possibly raise their Soul Spirits to the thousand-year level this time?

That was a thousand years!

Whenever they saw the thousand-year Soul Rings of Su Qiu, Na'er, and the others, they drooled with envy.

Meanwhile, Su Qiu was considering whether this riot period would be enough for his Soul Spirit to break through to the ten-thousand-year level.

Na'er was carefully thinking over how she could snatch everyone else's spiritual power and give it all to Su Qiu later.

Gu Yue was wondering what the Soul Beast forest inside the Spirit Ascension Platform would look like during a riot period.

What a pity it was simulated. Otherwise, she definitely would have brought desserts in to eat while strolling around.

After arriving at the Spirit Pagoda, they did not even need the entry pass Eastsea Academy had issued to Wu Changkong.

Simply by having Su Qiu show his face, the group passed through without obstruction, enjoying the special treatment of a private access room and teacher supervision.

After briefly reminding them, "Leave immediately if you encounter danger," the staff had them lie down inside the instrument chambers.

The staff inserted a card, pressed the red berserk-phase protection device button, and activated the instrument for teleportation.

After a brief blur of consciousness, everyone appeared together in the vast forest of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Gu Yue's gaze darkened. This environment appeared no different from the usual Spirit Ascension Platform. There was nothing particularly new about it.

The others hurriedly looked around.

Upon seeing Su Qiu's reassuring figure, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, they were together.

This was solid!

"I'll be acting alone for a while first." Su Qiu's calm voice rang out as his gaze swept over everyone. "I'll be faster by myself. Once I've completed my Soul Spirit ascension, I'll come back and help you push for Thousand Year Soul Spirits."

Helping out his classmates was no big deal, but before that, he needed to reach the Ten Thousand Year level himself and complete this objective.

"Brother Su, you're so generous!" Xie Xie was the first to react. He jumped excitedly on the spot and cheered, "With Brother Su here, we're guaranteed to raise our Soul Spirits to the Thousand Year level this time!"

He began rubbing his hands together eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.

At the thought of soon possessing a Thousand Year Soul Ring, he could not help humming softly.

Who wouldn't want to be the first to raise their Soul Spirit to the Thousand Year level?

Gratitude and anticipation also flashed through Tang Wulin's eyes. Although he had always cultivated steadily, a Thousand Year Soul Spirit was still an unattainable goal for him at present.

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi were even more overjoyed.

Zhang Yangzi had even started planning to trail behind Su Qiu and coast to victory later. Closing his eyes, he imagined snatching spiritual power from other Soul Masters, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

No one objected to Su Qiu leaving the team to ascend on his own first.

After all, Su Qiu had no obligation to take such care of them. Helping was kindness; not helping was only natural.

"I want to go too! I want to go too!" Na'er skipped over to Su Qiu, blinking her large Purple Eyes.

"Na'er is really amazing. You saw it last time too—Na'er can help you catch lots and lots of Soul Beasts."

The sight made Gu Yue, standing nearby, feel physically ill, and she could not help gagging. She also wanted to win Su Qiu over, but she had always intended to conquer him with her own charm.

She utterly disapproved of Na'er's deliberate cuteness and shameless fawning. It was truly vulgar and unbecoming of the king of Soul Beasts.

Gu Yue could not help mocking her, "Tsk tsk, Na'er is really amazing~~"

"She can help you catch lots and lots of Soul Beasts~~"

"Just look at yourself."

Na'er still bared her teeth. "What business is it of yours?! How many times do I have to say it?!"

"I! Want! To!"

The air around them fell silent.
