The Spirit Ascension Platform is Rare? Isn't That Thing Something You Can Just Enter Freely?

"Greetings, Teacher." Chen Zhou was taken aback by Chen Mo's silence for a moment, then he waved his hand in greeting.

After all, this was his teacher. He might not care about Su Xin, but he remained very respectful toward Chen Mo.

Na'er looked at Chen Mo with a somewhat dazed expression; in name, she was also Chen Mo's disciple, though the little girl didn't quite understand that yet.

But seeing her brother do it, she followed suit and waved her hand as well.

"Hello, Teacher."

"Greetings to you both. Sit down; the meal is quite sumptuous today."

Chen Mo smiled as he spoke, looking at the two children.

Neither of them stood on ceremony. Each took a seat, though Na'er ignored the formalities and immediately picked up her oversized rice bowl to start devouring her food.

Chen Zhou, on the other hand, sat to the side, eating in small bites while keeping his gaze fixed on Chen Mo.

Watching the different behaviors of the two children, Chen Mo didn't mind at all.

In truth, Na'er was a year younger than Chen Zhou, yet she had already awakened a Martial Soul—something Chen Mo hadn't expected.

Normally, children awakened their Martial Souls at age six, but in this situation, Na'er had possessed one at just five years old.

However, Chen Mo didn't know that if one were to re-awaken Na'er at age six, she would still be able to manifest a Martial Soul.

Na'er currently had a Martial Soul, but if she didn't wish to reveal it, she could act as if she didn't have one at all.

Chen Mo looked at the two children and said in a gentle voice, "Do you two know about the Spirit Ascension Platform? I intend to let you go there this afternoon to hone yourselves."

"I know of it, Teacher. The Spirit Ascension Platform is a facility independently built by our Spirit Pagoda, providing a dedicated space for Spirit Masters to train and enhance their personal strength."

Chen Zhou's answer was standard, which surprised Chen Mo slightly, though he smiled and nodded.

"That is indeed the case. Furthermore, inside, a Spirit Master can not only temper themselves but also experience the unique charm of how ancient Spirit Masters hunted Spirit Beasts."

Chen Mo spoke calmly, but when the words "hunted Spirit Beasts" were mentioned, Na'er's expression of devouring her food suddenly stalled.

It only lasted for a second, however, before she resumed eating heartily.

"The Spirit Ascension Platform was established with the participation of many Titled Douluo and has brought together many top-tier researchers."

Chen Mo explained briefly, without going into too much detail.

After all, there was no use in explaining such things; experiencing the effects firsthand was the best way to learn.

"The entry restriction for the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform is for Spirit Masters below the 3-ring level. Normally, you should have someone accompany you inside."

"But since you want to temper yourselves, you should strive on your own. I will set your pain threshold to the minimum of 5%, and then you can go in and give it a try."

"If you truly cannot bear it, then we can find someone to accompany you."

Chen Mo spoke quite casually.

For outsiders, a spot in the Spirit Ascension Platform required trading favors and various resources.

But for him, it was nothing at all. Arranging it for his two disciples was effortless; if they died, they could simply be resurrected and go back in.

In any case, before their mental strength withered, the two children could enter as they pleased, treating it as a way to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance.

Though Chen Mo spoke casually, both Su Xin, who was standing to the side, and the service staff who had been serving the food, wore expressions of surprise.

One had to know that a single entry into the Spirit Ascension Platform cost 500,000 Federal Credits and required connections.

Yet, the Pagoda Master spoke of it so nonchalantly. However, once they considered the talent and status of these two children, everyone chose to remain silent.

After a quick meal, Chen Mo left, leaving Su Xin to watch the two lovely children in silence.

Chen Zhou did not eat much—just a normal portion—so he finished quickly.

Compared to Na'er, he still needed to choose a second specialty.

He chose forging as his second specialty. Although the Water Dragon Martial Soul did not provide a massive boost to raw strength, as a dragon-type Martial Soul, its inherent strength attribute was still much higher than the amplification provided by other Martial Souls.

Therefore, for the time being, forging was the most suitable choice.

Moreover, the metal he forged himself would provide additional enhancements and bonuses to his Battle Armor, which was exactly what Chen Zhou needed.

He hadn't wanted to compete or vie with Tang Wulin before, so his initial choice had been mecha maintenance—after all, that was a truly lazy specialty.

Because for Battle Armor, once one reached the three-word level, minor issues could be repaired by oneself, and when major problems occurred, it was truly better to just replace the whole set.

Mecha maintenance, or rather Battle Armor maintenance, wasn't very useful, but since he had decided to be a motivated, good child, Chen Zhou prepared to choose forging.

Of course, once he made his choice, it was easy to find a teacher.

The Spirit Pagoda's Pagoda Master, Chen Mo, the Blacksmith's Association, and the Tang Sect were all naturally acquainted with one another; arranging for him to apprentice under Mu Chen was not difficult at all.

So, after finishing his meal, Chen Zhou told Su Xin about his choice. Su Xin merely smiled and nodded; she didn't really care about such things.

After waiting for a while and chatting for another ten minutes, until Na'er finished her meal and let out a satisfied burp, Chen Zhou and Su Xin stood up with a smile. Chen Zhou took Na'er's hand, and the two of them headed to the 20th floor together.

Su Xin led them to a separate room, which was not very large.

However, compared to a standard Spirit Ascension Platform control room, there were no monitoring devices or various control consoles inside.

"Young Tower Master, Miss Na'er, this will be your exclusive training room from now on."

Su Xin said this while slightly raising her hand, a card appearing in her palm.

She gently pressed this card against the black card in Chen Zhou's hand, granting him full authorization for this door.

"Whenever you two wish to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform from now on, you may do so at any time. Furthermore, the Tower Master has already secured two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for you."

"As for ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, the Tower Master is still searching, so they may not be available for you for the time being."

As she spoke, Su Xin took out a wooden box and handed it to Chen Zhou, then produced another for Na'er.

Chen Zhou weighed the wooden box in his hand; it certainly felt like it contained two spiritual herbs.

Na'er, however, was far more decisive. She opened her box immediately, revealing a slender blade of grass and a fruit covered in scales.

Chen Zhou did not recognize the slender grass, but the fruit was a Dragon Blood Fruit, which offered significant enhancements for dragon-type martial souls.

Long-term consumption and absorption could increase the purity of a dragon-type martial soul's bloodline and rapidly boost soul power.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou opened his own box as well, and sure enough, it contained the exact same items.

Seeing this, Chen Zhou felt a sense of appreciation. Chen Mo was truly a competent Tower Master, treating both of his disciples with complete impartiality.

Even though Na'er possessed no noble status, she had talent, and she was someone Chen Zhou had brought back.

Thus, Chen Mo had not only decisively taken Na'er as a disciple but had also provided her with spiritual herbs without reservation.
