Was the ordinary Spirit Ascension Platform a challenge for this bunch of Little Monsters?
Not at all!
Since it was the Riot Period at the Spirit Ascension Platform, how could they pass up the chance to fleece the Spirit Pagoda?
"Heh heh..."
The usually aloof Wu Zhangkong let a wicked smile slip across his face.
This time,
the Spirit Pagoda was going to take a loss so huge it would bleed!
In a Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform with a maximum level of 39, Ji Fengyu's full Dragon Clan team was invincible!
They even had a perfect five-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
How could they lose?
The more people involved in a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the greater the fusion, and the power rose exponentially.
Historically, the Golden Iron Triangle had the greatest number of people in a perfect fusion skill,
but Wu Zhangkong felt that even the Golden Iron Triangle was nothing in the face of Divine Dragon Descent from Ji Fengyu's five-person team!
He hadn't even sensed how their Martial Soul Fusion Skill attacked before he was instantly killed.
And he was a Soul Emperor with Two-Word Battle Armor.
Those little brats had taken him down in one hit?
Shocked, Wu Zhangkong decided the Spirit Pagoda ought to experience his pain too. They should all share in the good fortune!
"The Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Ji Fengyu remembered that this was supposed to be a final exam.
How had it become the first lesson of the school year?
Good grief, had he gone too hard and given Wu Zhangkong a confidence boost?
Still, that was exactly what Ji Fengyu wanted.
Ji Fengyu had already reached level 30!
That was right. While using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he had naturally broken through another level.
Because he was the one in control,
Lan Xuanyu, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Na'er had lent him their power.
After being washed by the four kinds of high-quality Dragon Clan blood and qi, his breakthrough had been exceptionally steady, and even his foundations had grown firmer.
Now that he was level 30,
raising two Spirit Souls to a thousand years was going to be a real headache.
Ji Fengyu had four Soul Rings,
so the spirit power used to upgrade his Spirit Souls had to be split among all four. If he queued up alone to gain points, who knew how long that would take!
The Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform was perfect.
Not only did they have a full seven-person team,
he could also absorb spirit power from the Soul Beasts his teammates hunted. The pace would be quick and efficient. Heh heh...
He was sure everyone would be more than happy to contribute their spirit power to him!
"I'm in!"
Ji Fengyu immediately made his position clear. He had to enter the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform!
"We're in too!"
Since Brother Ji had agreed, the other six naturally voted unanimously in favor.
What did their full Dragon Clan team have to fear?
The Riot Period?
More like a shower of lucky money!
"Since everyone agrees, I'll report it,"
"An ordinary Spirit Ascension Platform will do very little for you. The Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform only opens twice a year. It'd be a shame to miss it."
Wu Zhangkong nodded.
He looked at Ji Fengyu as if he wanted to say something. He was curious about the effects of the five-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but couldn't bring himself to ask.
Ji Fengyu and the others all played dumb.
Wu Zhangkong watched them for a while, but got nowhere. Since the kids weren't willing to say, he could only go find Long Hengxu, the director of studies.
"Brother Ji, Teacher Wu is really too good to us!"
"That's the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform!"
"There are only 300 spots in all of Eastsea City, and all seven of us got in. We're going to make it big this time!"
Xie Xie excitedly rubbed his hands together like a fly.
"What's the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Tang Wulin had a question.
Brother Ji seemed to have told him about it last time, but he hadn't understood.
"Hm?"
The moment he asked, everyone's eyes turned to him in unison.
There was actually a kid here who didn't even know what the Spirit Ascension Platform was!
"Wulin, you don't even know what the Spirit Ascension Platform is, but you agreed to let Teacher Wu change it to the Riot Period?"
Xie Xie said, dumbfounded.
"If Brother Ji agrees, then I agree."
Tang Wulin took it for granted.
"Uh, all right."
"The Spirit Ascension Platform is a place where you upgrade Spirit Souls."
Xie Xie's explanation was brief and clear.
"Upgrade Spirit Souls?!"
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up at once.
His defective Spirit Soul, the ten-year-old Little Grass Snake Golden Light, had always been a sore spot for him!
If he could upgrade his Spirit Soul, then Golden Light wouldn't be defective anymore...
"Right, upgrade Spirit Souls."
Ji Fengyu picked up where he left off:
"The Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform Teacher Wu secured for us is a rare opportunity."
"My goal is for every one of us to raise our first Spirit Soul to a thousand years!"
Those emphatic words left everyone except Gu Yue both astonished and delighted.
"If the first Spirit Soul is a thousand years old, we won't have to worry about the first three Soul Rings. We'll save so much money!"
Tang Wulin was already imagining how impressive his Little Grass Snake Golden Light would look after upgrading to a thousand years!
No, Golden Light wasn't good enough for it anymore.
He had to rename it Golden Scale!
"Everyone gets a thousand-year first Spirit Soul? Brother Ji, that's bold!"
"But with our lineup, it's not impossible. Heh heh..."
Xie Xie grinned like a fool, excitement written all over his face.
Gu Yue looked thoughtful.
Lan Xuanyu said nothing, quietly listening to everyone talk. She was closest to Ji Fengyu, and her gaze remained fixed on his handsome face.
From an angle where no one else could see, a faint, nine-colored light connected her to Ji Fengyu...
Eastsea Academy's Academic Affairs Office.
"What?!!!"
"Wu Zhangkong, have you lost your mind!"
"The very first lesson is the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Long Hengxu couldn't believe his ears.
No matter how talented they were,
they couldn't be so arrogant!
He seriously wondered whether Wu Zhangkong knew anything about the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform!
He was sending a bunch of eight- and nine-year-old kids into the Riot Period on their first day?
Gu Yue, Na'er, and Tang Wulin even had only one Soul Ring!
Wu Zhangkong, were you serious?
"You can't make a fat man in one bite. Even if those students are outstanding, they still have to take it one step at a time."
"To start them off with something this intense—isn't that a little too much..."
Long Hengxu forced himself to hold back the urge to swear and expressed his misgivings as tactfully as he could.
"No. They can't miss this Riot Period!"
"I'll put my Two-Word Battle Armor up as collateral!"
"They have to take part in this Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform!"
Wu Zhangkong was utterly resolute, even putting his Two-Word Battle Armor up as collateral.
If they missed this Riot Period, they would have to wait at least three months!
Given how outstanding Ji Fengyu's team was, missing this opportunity would be a terrible shame. Wu Zhangkong wouldn't let that happen!
It was his duty to secure opportunities for his students whenever they were within their reach!
"You!!!"
Long Hengxu's eyes widened in disbelief.
He was even putting his Two-Word Battle Armor up as collateral?
Had Wu Zhangkong really gone mad?
"I can tell you plainly: the seven of them are more than capable of sweeping the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform!"
"And besides,"
"This token makes me responsible for this decision!"
Whoosh!
Wu Zhangkong pulled out a sea-blue token, radiating authority.
"What's that?"
But Long Hengxu had no idea what it was.
"..."
Wu Zhangkong fell silent.
Showing off in front of someone who didn't know what he was looking at was just awkward.
Did he really have to spell it out?
"This is the Sea God Pavilion Master Token of Shrek Academy!"
"Sea God Pavilion Master!"
"Is that not enough to guarantee these children's safety?"
Wu Zhangkong gave a cold snort. With the Sea God Pavilion Master's token in hand, his expression grew even more aloof.
With this token, the Sea God Pavilion would take responsibility for all his actions!
