Crystal Bear

Zhang Zhenpeng shook his head, his expression calm.

"Don't worry, we tested classmate Wang Zhi's Spiritual Power at the academy before. It's enough to accommodate a Thousand Year Spirit."

The Staff nodded and said no more, continuing to look at the screen.

At this moment, in his heart, he had already determined that Wang Zhi was at least a Three Rings Soul Elder.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain this terrifying Strength.

All the Hundred Year Soul Beasts were not the summon's match for even a single round.

Besides a Three Rings Soul Elder, he didn't think a Two Rings or even a One Ring Soul Master could achieve this.

Therefore, he wasn't too surprised.

Of course, if he knew that Wang Zhi's true cultivation was only level fifteen, he would not have had such a calm expression.

At the same time, in the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Wang Zhi felt the feedback from the Glow Grass, a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes.

Six hundred years.

In the past half hour, under the slaughter of fifteen Ghost Shadow Ninjas, his Soul Spirit Age had increased from One Hundred Years to Six Hundred Years.

A full five hundred years!

But he still felt it was too slow.

He was still four hundred years away from the one-thousand-year mark.

This was mainly because when he originally purchased the Glow Grass, its age was only One Hundred Years.

This was the convention of the Spirit Transmitter Tower. All Hundred Year Spirits sold externally had an actual age of around One Hundred Years, with very few exceptions.

Wang Zhi sometimes wondered if this was an arrangement by the Spirit Transmitter Tower to better sell the high-priced Spirit Ascension Platform quotas.

But regardless of the reason, he now truly craved the Beginner Spirit Ascension Platform.

Just then, in his shared fifteen fields of vision, a delicate cry suddenly came.

Wang Zhi's heart stirred, and he focused his attention on one of the screens.

In the image, Zhou Tian'er was running desperately.

Behind her, a giant bear of enormous size was in hot pursuit.

The giant bear was crystal clear all over, as if carved from crystal, emitting a faint fluorescence.

With every step it took, the ground trembled, and the surrounding trees were knocked askew by its passage.

Crystal Bear, Thousand Year Soul Beast.

Wang Zhi frowned slightly.

Thousand Year Soul Beasts were generally on par with Three Rings Soul Elders.

Although Zhou Tian'er's Martial Soul was Wood Spirit, she had a very high environmental bonus in this forest setting.

But she was only level twenty-five, so defeating a Thousand Year Soul Beast was simply unrealistic.

Without any hesitation, he immediately issued a command in his mind.

Fourteen Ghost Shadow Ninjas turned simultaneously and sped towards Zhou Tian'er's direction.

At the same time, the Ghost Shadow Ninja lurking near Zhou Tian'er had already made the first move.

Zhou Tian'er was in a sorry state.

She had originally just wanted to find a few Hundred Year Soul Beasts to practice with, but she had such bad luck that she ran straight into a Thousand Year Crystal Bear.

That behemoth didn't know what was going on, but it chased her as soon as it saw her, and it still wouldn't give up.

She raised her hand, and a green light flashed in her palm.

Countless branches from the surrounding ancient trees instantly extended, weaving into a large net, blocking the Crystal Bear.

She then used the elasticity of the branches to leap onto the crown of a large tree.

Finally, she could shake it off.

As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard a earth-shattering roar from behind her.

The Crystal Bear's body lit up with a bright yellow light, and its entire body became like a cannonball, fiercely smashing into the ancient tree.

"Boom--"

The thick ancient tree snapped in response, wood chips flying everywhere.

The treetop beneath Zhou Tian'er's feet shook violently. She lost her balance and fell straight down.

The wind howled.

She looked down. Below was the ferocious Crystal Bear, its cavernous mouth open, waiting for her to fall.

Zhou Tian'er sighed softly in her heart.

It seemed she had to end today's training.

She closed her eyes, preparing to endure the impact of that moment and be sent out of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

However, the expected pain did not arrive.

She felt her body suddenly stop, ceasing its descent.

Immediately after, a familiar aura enveloped her.

Zhou Tian'er's heart leaped, and she abruptly opened her eyes.

What greeted her sight was Wang Zhi's face, etched with a hint of worry.

"Tian'er Jie, are you alright?"

Wang Zhi asked.

Zhou Tian'er froze for a moment, then reached out and wrapped her arms around Wang Zhi's neck, hanging onto him so he could carry her.

She calmed herself before speaking playfully.

"If you had come any slower, I might have been in trouble."

Seeing that she still had the mood to joke, Wang Zhi knew she was not seriously injured.

His gaze shifted downwards, towards the Crystal Bear below.

At that moment, the Crystal Bear was being harassed by a Ghost Shadow Ninja.

The ninja's figure was elusive, darting around the Crystal Bear, occasionally throwing a Shuriken, causing the Crystal Bear to roar repeatedly, but it could never break free.

Wang Zhi seized the opportunity, stepping on the Crystal Bear's head and using the force to land steadily.

This step landed directly on the Crystal Bear's forehead.

The Crystal Bear, thoroughly enraged by this humiliation, let out a deafening roar, rising to its feet and charging madly towards Wang Zhi.

For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.

Its massive body was like a moving hill, and with every step it took, the ground quaked.

Where it passed, trees snapped and soil flew.

Facing such a giant bear charging towards him, Wang Zhi's expression remained unchanged.

He simply said calmly.

"Kill it."

As soon as the words fell, another black shadow sprang from the nearby thicket.

It was a Ghost Shadow Ninja. In mid-air, flicked hands repeatedly, and several shuriken turned into cold light, shooting directly at the Crystal Bear.

The Crystal Bear roared and swiped with its claws to block, but one of the shuriken bypassed its claws at a strange angle and accurately shot into its left eye.

"Roar!"

The Crystal Bear let out a piercing scream, and its massive body trembled violently.

Blood gushed from its eye socket, and it shook its head frantically, trying to escape the pain.

But the two Ghost Shadow Ninjas gave it no chance.

They were on the left and right, coordinated.

One drew its attention from the front, while the other continuously attacked from the side.

Shuriken, kunai, darts, and various hidden weapons poured down like a storm, leaving wounds all over the Crystal Bear.

The Crystal Bear's roars grew weaker, and its movements slowed.

Finally, its massive body crashed to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Soon, a halo much brighter and denser than that of a Hundred Year Soul Beast floated up from its body.

Glow Grass appeared on Wang Zhi's shoulder, its leaves swaying, and instantly absorbed the halo into itself.

The crisis was over.

Zhou Tian'er remained in Wang Zhi's embrace until Wang Zhi's helpless voice rang out.

"Tian'er Jie, I've already dealt with the Crystal Bear."

"We're safe now, shouldn't you get down?"

Zhou Tian'er was stunned.

She had been completely immersed in Wang Zhi's embrace just now, feeling the aura that made her feel safe, and had forgotten that she was still being chased by the Crystal Bear.

So, when she heard that Wang Zhi had already dealt with the Crystal Bear, she was extremely surprised.

"Xiao Zhi, you're too amazing!"

"You can even deal with a Thousand Year Soul Beast!"

"As expected of my Younger Brother!"

As she spoke, a triumphant smile appeared on her face, as if she were the one who was amazing.

Then, she let go and jumped down from Wang Zhi's embrace.
