"Sea, Sea, Sea, Sea God Pavilion?!"
"The Pavilion Master's token?!!"
Long Hengxu's tongue was tied in knots.
Good gracious!
What had Wu Zhangkong just pulled out?!
The Sea God Pavilion Master's token!
It nearly scared him to death. His legs had gone weak...
Wu Zhangkong was a genius even at Shrek. Long Hengxu had no doubts about the token's authenticity.
He'd even brought out the Sea God Pavilion Master. How could Long Hengxu possibly refuse?
"Fine, I'll seek approval from the Board of Directors right away!"
Long Hengxu grimaced.
For such a minor matter, was there really any need to pull out the Sea God Pavilion Master's token?
Fine, fine, you can have it...
"By the way, that Lan Xuanyu must come from a pretty important family, right?"
"But Na'er is the Sea God Pavilion Master's personal disciple. This token was given to me by Na'er's teacher."
Wu Zhangkong brought up Na'er's connections again, applying pressure from both sides while explaining where his token had come from.
That dispelled Long Hengxu's doubts completely.
They'd barged into the imperial household~~
"Don't worry. The Board of Directors will have to approve this!"
Long Hengxu gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"That would be best."
Wu Zhangkong nodded.
These students were so exceptional that even he couldn't teach them much more. He'd done his duty if he could secure a few opportunities for them.
Wu Zhangkong had even brought out the Sea God Pavilion Master.
How could the Board of Directors refuse?
Soon, seven spots for the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform were approved.
"Move out!"
Wu Zhangkong led the team, marching proudly toward the Spirit Pagoda.
There was no need to go into the journey.
Following the usual procedure, they soon entered the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Today,
would be the darkest day in the history of the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda. Their blacklist would forever have seven more names on it...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The moment Ji Fengyu and the others landed, the seven formed an Impeccable Formation.
In the Impeccable Formation, the four Power Attack System members—Tang Wulin and the others—stood on the outside, while Ji Fengyu and the other two backliners hid within.
A Power Attack System member guarded each of the four directions. The formation was truly impeccable.
"What kind of formation is that?"
Long Hengxu, watching from the observation room, was completely baffled.
Wasn't their fighting strength spread too thin?
Four Power Attack System members, each assigned to a different corner—there were gaps everywhere!
And why were Tang Wulin and Na'er, both One-Ring Soul Masters, assigned the crucial positions of vanguard and rear guard?
Did Ji Fengyu even know what he was doing?
Long Hengxu felt like Wu Zhangkong had played him...
He didn't think much of these little brats. Could the dangers of the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform really be compared to those of an ordinary one?
If they performed poorly this time, how would he explain it to the Board of Directors?
Long Hengxu was already fretting.
"Director Long, don't get worked up..."
Wu Zhangkong rolled his eyes.
Go ahead and panic.
When you see how these overpowered freaks fight, try to keep the corners of your mouth down!
Laugh too loudly in the Spirit Pagoda, and someone will beat you up!
"So this is the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
"How amazing..."
Tang Wulin murmured as he stepped onto the grass, finding it wonderfully soft underfoot.
Both his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and his Golden Dragon King Bloodline felt right at home...
"Sigh..."
Gu Yue sighed as she gazed at the magnificent grassland. Her eyes held an indescribable mix of longing and nostalgia.
The Soul Beast Clan was a thing of the past now.
"I've got an Ascending Dragon Pillar!"
Lan Xuanyu stayed close behind Ji Fengyu and summoned the Ascending Dragon Pillar to link everyone together.
Her Ascending Dragon Pillar was special. It was an Artifact Martial Soul, much like a flying sword, so she basically didn't need to walk.
She could simply fly while sitting atop the Ascending Dragon Pillar.
"Red! Orange!"
The Spirit Ascension Platform was dangerous, so Ji Fengyu immediately activated his boosts for Tang Wulin and the other three.
His Soul Power had already reached level 30.
With Heart Separation Control conserving his Soul Power, and Gu Yue and Lan Xuanyu not needing boosts, he could use his two Soul Skills to keep the boosts on the four of them active at all times.
"There's a Soul Beast to the southwest."
The Ascending Dragon Pillar sensed it.
The group soon detected the dangerous target. The Soul Beasts in the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform really were terrifyingly fierce.
They had encountered a thousand-year Soul Beast as soon as they entered!
And that thousand-year Soul Beast was a spider-like creature, with a seductive woman's face growing from its abdomen.
It was none other than the notorious Man Faced Demon Spider!
"A Man Faced Demon Spider!"
"We're done for! We've barely landed and we're already dead!"
Long Hengxu, watching from the observation room, couldn't stop himself from wailing.
That was a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider!
The Man Faced Demon Spider was notorious among Soul Beasts for its sinister nature and strength. Even a hundred-year one could hunt thousand-year Soul Beasts!
How could this bunch of brats, averaging level 20, fight it?
He shouldn't have trusted Wu Zhangkong!
"Shut up!"
"If you can't shut up, I'll do it for you!"
Wu Zhangkong's face turned dark. He pulled out the Heavenly Frost Sword, ready to manually mute the old fool who kept predicting disaster—but Long Hengxu had already shut his mouth, stunned.
Because,
on the screen,
facing the ferocious thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider, Ji Fengyu only had to give Gu Yue an Attack Boost.
Gu Yue unleashed a flawless combo. Her timing and attack power were both perfect, and she killed the thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider in an instant!
This...
This couldn't be right, could it?
"Good thing we've got Sister Yue!"
"That Man Faced Demon Spider is poisonous from head to toe. We wouldn't want to fight it up close. With Sister Yue stepping in, it was a piece of cake!"
Xie Xie praised Gu Yue from the bottom of his heart.
Sister Yue was awesome!
"All right, stop buttering me up."
Though Gu Yue scolded Xie Xie, she couldn't keep the corners of her mouth from lifting. She shot Tang Wulin a smug glance.
Gulp!
Tang Wulin clenched both hands into fists.
What's she so proud of?
It was just a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider.
Next time they ran into a thousand-year Soul Beast, he'd tear it apart with his bare hands and show Gu Yue. Then they'd see if she could still act so smug.
"Go."
The thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider's spiritual energy flew toward Gu Yue, but she waved her hand and passed it to Ji Fengyu.
"Thanks, Sister Yue."
That "Sister Yue" truly made Gu Yue's day...
"Listen up, everyone. I'm already level 30. As soon as my Spirit Soul reaches the thousand-year level, I'll break through to the three-ring realm and gain two more Soul Skills!"
"Give me priority for the spiritual energy from the Soul Beasts we kill."
Ji Fengyu had no qualms about asking for the experience.
Given the situation, prioritizing his experience really was the best option.
Once his Spirit Soul reached the thousand-year level, Rainbow Dragon would gain a third kind of boost.
That would greatly increase the team's fighting strength and benefit everyone's Spirit Ascension from then on.
Everyone understood this.
And Brother Ji had asked, so what else was there to say?
"Brother Ji, what will your third boost be? I hope it's a speed boost."
Xie Xie was already imagining the possibilities.
Their team's biggest weakness right now was speed. Double boosts to strength and attack were no good if they couldn't hit anything.
"I can't be sure either."
"We'll see."
Ji Fengyu hoped it would be a Defense Boost. Then the four Power Attack System members would become monsters with both high attack and high defense!
Rumble!!!
The team was exploring in an orderly fashion when suddenly the entire Spirit Ascension Platform began shaking violently.
At least a hundred auras appeared within the Ascending Dragon Pillar's range.
There wasn't just one thousand-year Soul Beast. Hundred-year and Ten-Year Soul Beasts were everywhere, carpeting the landscape as far as the eye could see!
A beast tide!!!
They'd run into a beast tide already!
But instead of making the seven of them tremble in fear, this beast tide—the sort that should have struck terror into anyone—made them grin with excitement.
A beast tide?
More like an all-you-can-eat buffet!
"Charge straight in! Meet them head-on!"
Ji Fengyu excitedly gave the order, and the whole team charged directly toward the horde!
The Dragon Clan's feast was about to begin!
