Tang Wulin hurried Tang Linyuan toward the Association to seek Mu Xi’s help, while Gu Yue and Xie Xie settled their profession choices.

Wu Zhangkong took Class Zero to the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda to begin weekly Spirit Ascension Platform training, warning them that its virtual battles could cause real harm. Tang Linyuan gave Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue protective imprints before entering separately, and the four began their trials in the simulated Star Dou Forest.

• Wu Zhangkong made Xie Xie choose Mecha Manufacturing and Gu Yue choose Mecha Design, then ordered them to catch up with Tang Linyuan and Tang Wulin’s crafting levels.
• Wu Zhangkong brought the four students to the Spirit Pagoda and explained that they would enter the Spirit Ascension Platform once a week for Soul Spirit growth and realistic combat training.
• A Spirit Pagoda staff member warned them that virtual deaths could damage their minds or cause brain death and gave each an SOS Signal Device.
• Tang Linyuan placed protective imprints on Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue so he could locate them if their SOS devices failed.
• Wu Zhangkong told Tang Linyuan to enter alone while the other three would need to cooperate, and all four entered their pods as the Star Dou Forest appeared around them.

Tang Linyuan and Class Zero hunted Soul Beasts in the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, where Tang Linyuan effortlessly defeated powerful opponents and the other three demonstrated their hard-won teamwork. The chapter left Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie fighting a Millennium Crystal Bear as Tang Linyuan raced to their location.

• Tang Linyuan used his spiritual perception and physical strength to kill a Century Shadow Leopard and a Millennium Man Faced Demon Spider without summoning his Martial Soul.
• Xie Xie stealthily killed a Century Iron-Armored Lizard, while Tang Wulin fought a Century Saber-Toothed Tiger with his Golden Dragon Claw.

• Tang Wulin sent a signal through his Spear Intent Imprint and faced the bear with Gu Yue's elemental support and Xie Xie's attack on its vulnerable joint.
• Tang Linyuan sensed the signal while sitting atop a defeated Millennium Giant Ape and raced toward the trio as Wu Zhangkong watched their teamwork with satisfaction.

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie defeated a Millennium Crystal Bear but nearly died when it launched a final counterattack, until Tang Linyuan’s spear saved them. After reviewing their teamwork, Wu Zhangkong took the exhausted students back to Eastsea Academy to rest.

• Gu Yue weakened the Crystal Bear’s armor with alternating ice and fire, Xie Xie blinded it with ultimate light, and Tang Wulin broke its neck with his Golden Dragon Claw.
• The Crystal Bear survived long enough to prepare a Crystallization Beam, leaving Tang Wulin unable to move as Xie Xie and Gu Yue tried to save him.
• Tang Linyuan’s Tyrant Profound Divine Spear tore through space, destroyed the beam, and killed the Crystal Bear before it could strike Tang Wulin.
• Tang Linyuan praised the trio’s coordination, explained that their near-death mistake came from underestimating the beast’s vitality, and ended their training session.
• At the Spirit Pagoda, Wu Zhangkong refused a high-level training offer and took the students back to Eastsea Academy, where they went to rest.

After Tang Wulin accepted responsibility for a dangerous mistake, Wu Zhangkong revamped Class Zero’s training and broke through to Soul Saint, then drove the students through three months of increasingly brutal Spirit Ascension Platform assessments. As Tang Wulin grew closer to Ouyang Zixin, Tang Linyuan promised Xie Xie a date if he survived an assessment against two Millennium Soul Beasts.

• Tang Wulin admitted that his poor knowledge of Soul Beasts had endangered himself and Xie Xie, so Wu Zhangkong reorganized Class Zero’s lessons around Soul Beast ecology, combat training, and weekly assessments.
• Wu Zhangkong revealed that he had reached Soul Saint and resumed his agreement to fight Tang Linyuan, whose Spear Intent clashed with Wu Zhangkong’s Frost Domain.

• Tang Wulin and Ouyang Zixin grew closer through their daily runs and walks, while Xie Xie watched them jealously and Tang Linyuan stopped him from interfering.
• Tang Linyuan told Xie Xie that he would set him up with someone if he survived the next day’s solo assessment against two Millennium Soul Beasts.

Wu Zhangkong assigned Class Zero a final exam in the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform, where the students had to advance their Soul Spirits while facing frenzied Soul Beasts and rival Soul Masters.

• Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue killed a Millennium Thorn-Armored Beast and continued through the forest to gather spiritual energy for their Soul Spirits.
• The trio encountered Mu Xi and two Eastsea Academy Advanced Division students, recognized one another, and joined forces to travel toward a water source.
• Mu Xi used her Blazing Sun Martial Soul to attack a pack of Nether Wolves, while Tang Wulin killed the Millennium Nether Wolf King threatening her.
• Mu Xi was astonished that Tang Wulin had two Soul Rings and could kill a Millennium Soul Beast, and she praised the trio's teamwork.
• After learning that Tang Wulin's team needed more spiritual energy to raise their Soul Spirits to the Millennium level, Mu Xi and her teammates headed off separately.
• Tang Wulin told Xie Xie and Gu Yue to check their Soul Spirits' saturation and urged them to keep moving.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue steadily hunted Soul Beasts in the Riot Period Spirit Ascension Platform while Tang Linyuan gathered spiritual power as bait and defeated anyone who tried to steal it. He then wounded a Millennium Abyss Demon Tiger, which fled into the forest as Tang Linyuan leisurely pursued it.

• Tang Wulin killed an Iron-Armored Rhino, bringing the Emerald Dragon Snake Soul Spirit closer to a Millennium Soul Spirit, while Xie Xie and Gu Yue helped their team hunt cautiously.
• Tang Linyuan used the Tyrant Profound Divine Spear to kill Soul Beasts and gathered their spiritual power into a huge trail that attracted more prey.

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie reached the limits of their Soul Spirits and left the Spirit Ascension Platform, while Tang Linyuan fought a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in the core region and claimed its External Soul Bone.

• Tang Linyuan found and stored the Century Dark Gold Terrorclaw Right Palm Bone, then used the SOS Signal Device to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Tang Linyuan’s Martial Soul rejected the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear’s External Soul Bone and fed its energy to Xiao Mo, who formed a cocoon and began evolving. Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue reached the Millennium Soul Spirit threshold, and Wu Zhangkong prepared the class for a second combat assessment the next morning.

• Tang Linyuan told Wu Zhangkong that he had killed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and obtained its External Soul Bone, so Wu Zhangkong rushed the students back to Class Zero.

• Tang Linyuan chose Star-Sky Iron and Tang Wulin chose Sinking Silver, then they prepared to forge as Zhen Hua watched.

Tang Wulin completed Spirit Forging Sinking Silver, and Tang Linyuan fused it with Star-Sky Iron to create Star Silver. Zhen Hua measured the alloy at 95 percent fusion and identified it as a Divine Foundation Alloy capable of bearing Four-Word Battle Armor.

At dinner, Mu Ye tested the brothers’ physical strength and tried to recruit them to the Body Sect, but learned they had already joined the Tang Sect.
