Spirit Ascension Platform in the Riot Period

The sun continued to rise until it soon hung at the highest point in the sky.

It was noon.

At this time, Mu Tianchen had also finished his morning cultivation of the Vortex Meditation Method. Though he had cultivated for only four hours, his cultivation had improved significantly.

Judging from his current progress, he would need at most another week to break through from Level 21 to Level 22.

Breaking through directly from Level 21 to Level 22 in just one short week—what kind of terrifying talent was that?

Besides his own extraordinary talent, this was also due to the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul automatically absorbing Solar Essence, as well as the increased cultivation speed brought about by his progress in the Vortex Meditation Method.

With all these factors combined, Mu Tianchen was able to advance so rapidly.

Mu Tianchen stood up, stretched his arms behind his back, and could not help yawning. Four uninterrupted hours of cultivation had still left him somewhat tired. Sure enough, high-intensity cultivation could not be sustained for too long.

The Vortex Meditation Method was an extremely mentally taxing practice. Although his spiritual power had already reached the Spirit Connection Realm, he still found it difficult to keep up while cultivating it.

Perhaps only after reaching the Spirit Sea Realm, or even a higher level, would he be able to handle it with ease.

Just as Mu Tianchen was about to head to the Forging Room and continue forging, the Soul Tool Communicator in his hand rang.

"Hello, Sister Qingling. What do you need me for?"

The person calling Mu Tianchen was Yan Qingling. Since this little fellow was highly self-disciplined and able to train on his own,

she generally would not look for Mu Tianchen unless it was for some special training.

"Of course I need something. What, are you busy with something right now?"

On the other end of the communicator, Yan Qingling asked curiously. What was going on? Why did this little fellow sound a little tired? Had he just overtrained?

Mu Tianchen immediately perked up and asked curiously as well, "I'm free right now. Sister Qingling, what is this about...?"

"I do have something to discuss with you. Come to my place immediately, and hurry."

"I'm busy here. I'm hanging up first!"

After saying that, Yan Qingling directly ended the call.

"What could be so urgent?"

Looking at the Soul Tool Communicator with its call ended, Mu Tianchen was slightly shocked. Sister Qingling had always been calm and steady. Why was she acting so flustered now?

However, he did not dwell on it. Since Sister Qingling had told him to come, he would go.

He had originally planned to improve his forging skills and raise the progress of the Vortex Meditation Method, but Yan Qingling had called him over with just one phone call.

Although Yan Qingling was young, with her cultivation of a Level 69 Soul Emperor, she was considered upper management within the Spirit Pagoda. Her status was even higher than that branch president of the Spirit Pagoda who had helped awaken his Martial Soul.

She lived on the twentieth floor of the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters building, not far from him.

After leaving his room, Mu Tianchen took the Soul Tool Elevator and arrived at Yan Qingling's room in less than a minute.

However, when he arrived, he discovered that Qiangu Tinglan was also there!

And not only Qiangu Tinglan—the aloof young man who had told him to leave the Spirit Pagoda yesterday was there as well.

What made him even more curious was that a graceful young girl stood beside that aloof youth. Her long blue hair reached her waist, and she wore a sweet smile.

When she saw Mu Tianchen, her eyes lit up. She immediately walked over and said, "You're the little fellow who awakened the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul? You're so cute!"

"C-Cute?"

"Wait, I'm cute?"

Hearing the girl's words, Mu Tianchen seemed petrified, frozen where he stood. He pointed at himself. Wait, had she just called him cute?

He had the soul of a twenty-five-year-old adult, yet one day he was being called cute. What had the world come to?

"Mu Tianchen, you're finally here! We've been waiting for you for ages."

At that moment, Qiangu Tinglan skipped over to Mu Tianchen, patted him on the shoulder, and acted as though she were very familiar with him.

Beside Qiangu Tinglan, the aloof youth said nothing. However, when he looked at Yan Qingling, his gaze carried admiration and reverence.

This immediately left Mu Tianchen confused. What was going on here?

"Sister Qingling, this is...?"

Mu Tianchen looked toward Yan Qingling, a huge question mark practically hanging over his head.

Yan Qingling smiled. "Haha, they're all young geniuses of our Spirit Pagoda. They came looking for you on their own."

"They came looking for me?"

Mu Tianchen was even more baffled after hearing Yan Qingling's words.

Their relationship was not close enough for that, was it?

He was only somewhat familiar with Qiangu Tinglan. As for the aloof youth and the blue-haired girl, he did not know them at all.

Looking at Mu Tianchen, Yan Qingling said, "There's something I forgot to tell you, little Tianchen. You still remember the Spirit Ascension Platform, right?"

"The Spirit Ascension Platform is a vast semi-real virtual world created by our Spirit Pagoda engineers at the cost of countless resources and effort. It contains innumerable soul beasts."

"Human Soul Masters can enter the Spirit Ascension Platform through brainwave devices and duel those powerful soul beasts."

"After human Soul Masters kill those soul beasts, they can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from them to increase the age of their Soul Spirits. As the age of their Soul Spirits rises, the age of their Soul Rings rises as well."

"Besides raising one's cultivation level, increasing the age of a Soul Master's Soul Spirits and Soul Rings is one of the greatest ways to improve their strength."

"Tomorrow is the Riot Period of the Spirit Ascension Platform. The Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period differs from normal. The soul beasts inside become more frenzied and far more aggressive."

"Originally, I did not intend to let you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period. After all, you only obtained your Soul Spirit recently and still are not familiar enough with your own abilities."

"But this little Tinglan specifically requested that you go in with them, so I had no choice."

"What? This little girl specifically requested that I go?"

Mu Tianchen was rather surprised upon hearing this.

He knew Qiangu Tinglan, but they were not that close, were they?

"Hey! Who are you calling a little girl? We're obviously about the same age!"

Qiangu Tinglan jumped up, glaring at Mu Tianchen indignantly.

Qiangu Tinglan seemed particularly bothered by Mu Tianchen calling her a little girl. Upon hearing him address her that way, she immediately put her hands on her hips and glared at him furiously.

Yan Qingling could only shake her head helplessly at the sight.

She then said, "Sigh, you little ladies, talk less. Tianchen, I've already confirmed it with the Vice Pagoda Master. She has agreed to let you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period this time."

"For most Soul Masters, the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period is not a good place, but for elite Soul Masters, it is an excellent place for tempering themselves."

"The soul beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period are more violent and aggressive, making it better for honing one's adaptability and combat ability."

"You are already a two-ring Soul Grandmaster. There is nothing wrong with entering the Spirit Ascension Platform during the Riot Period."

After Yan Qingling said that Mu Tianchen was already a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, everyone present showed no change in expression. Clearly, they had already learned about his circumstances.

The aloof youth—the one who had told Mu Tianchen to leave before—looked somewhat unnatural after hearing Mu Tianchen's cultivation level.

At this moment, Yan Qingling said, "For your safety, the four of you will enter the Spirit Ascension Platform together tomorrow."

"You four should introduce yourselves to one another now. Tinglan, you go first."

"Fine." Qiangu Tinglan was still angry and puffed up with indignation, but she did not dare disobey Yan Qingling.

She glanced at the others and said, "My name is Qiangu Tinglan. I'm six years old and currently a Level 12 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master. My Martial Soul is the Coiling Dragon Staff, which has powerful offensive strength. Don't be fooled just because I'm a girl—my combat power is very strong!"

Hearing Qiangu Tinglan's words, everyone present laughed, especially the blue-haired girl.

After Qiangu Tinglan, the blue-haired girl introduced herself as well:

"My name is Leng Qingshuang. I'm twelve years old and from the Leng family. My Martial Soul is the Mutated Ice Phoenix. I'm currently a Level 35 Control System Battle Soul Elder."

At that moment, the aloof youth said expressionlessly, "Lin Tiannan, twelve years old. Martial Soul: Golden Crocodile King. Level 35 Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder."

The aloof youth spoke very little. After giving his information, he said nothing more.

At this point, everyone turned their attention to Mu Tianchen.

Seeing this, Mu Tianchen rubbed his nose before stating his own name and information.

"Mu Tianchen, six years old, Level 21 Power Attack System Soul Grandmaster. Martial Soul: Holy Dragon of Light."

His words were just as brief as those of the aloof youth, Lin Tiannan. However, what he said was even more shocking.

Everyone inwardly sighed in amazement. He had reached Level 21 at only six years old. By the time he was twenty, would he not be unstoppable?

"Hey, Mu Tianchen, how do you cultivate? We're clearly the same age, so how did you break through to Level 21 so quickly?"

Qiangu Tinglan widened her eyes and asked with immense curiosity.

The aloof youth and the girl surnamed Leng shook their heads at that. How could this have come from cultivation? He had clearly been born with it!

Other than someone born with Innate Level 20 Soul Power, how could anyone in this world break through to become a two-ring Soul Grandmaster at six years old?

Not even Qiangu Dongfeng, the Pagoda Master of their Spirit Pagoda, or even the continent's strongest person, the Sky-Piercing Douluo Yun Ming, had been able to accomplish that!

Before this, they had heard from their family elders that an extraordinary young genius had arrived at the Spirit Pagoda. He possessed the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul and Innate Level 20 Soul Power, and was being groomed as the next generation's Spirit Pagoda Master.

When they had first heard that news, they had been utterly shocked as well.

They simply did not believe that anyone in this world could possess Innate Level 20 Soul Power.

Only now, after hearing Mu Tianchen say it himself, did they truly believe it.

He really was a terrifying fellow!
