The Trial of the Riot Spirit Ascension Platform

The morning sunlight spilled down.

However, no one had the heart to pay attention to the sun anymore.

Today's match was not a particularly critical competition.

It was merely an exhibition match jointly organized by several bigwigs of the Spirit Pagoda.

Its primary purpose was to provide a stage for Qiangu Zhangting to showcase his strength.

In truth, most members of the Qiangu Clan were unaware of this match.

But the high-level officials within the Spirit Pagoda were all in the know.

Currently, apart from those top-tier Spirit Masters, there were only three true Vice Pagoda Masters.

One was Leng Yaozhu, who was responsible for a portion of the core affairs within the central Spirit Pagoda.

Another was Zhang Geyang, who was in charge of all affairs regarding the Star Luo Empire.

There was also one responsible for all affairs regarding the Dou Ling Empire.

However, this individual kept a very low profile.

Even until the final stages, this Vice Pagoda Master had never once appeared.

Therefore, besides the disciples of the three Vice Pagoda Masters, there were also several disciples of other Spirit Masters present.

The average age of this group was around ten years old.

Chen Zhou was undoubtedly the youngest among them.

But if you were to ask about his strength, he was by no means the weakest.

Normal people, after fusing with a spirit ring, would see their spirit power level increase by an average of only one or two levels.

Yet, because Chen Zhou had fused with the authority, his spirit power level could generally increase by three to four levels.

His current spirit power had already reached level 25, a fact that most people were unaware of.

Everyone assumed he had just broken through and was at the level of twenty-one or twenty-two.

But his strength had already reached level 25.

If he wanted to, he could even reach level 30 in as little as a month, or at most a few months.

In the grand hall, Qiangu Zhangting stood at the very front, his face filled with a sense of confidence and pride.

Relying on his spirit power of nearly level 40, coupled with his inherited spirit soul, the Evil Dragon, and his top-tier martial soul, the Coiling Dragon Staff, he considered himself the strongest among them all.

Whether it was the disciples of the other three Vice Pagoda Masters or the apprentices of those Spirit Masters, none could possibly match his strength.

Meanwhile, Chen Zhou was also led by a man in black to the main tower of the Spirit Pagoda.

However, he did not cross paths with Qiangu Zhangting; instead, he calmly took the elevator directly to the 40th floor, to the private box designated for him.

Each of them had an exclusive box to conduct this test, and this entire area of the Riot Spirit Ascension Platform had been completely cordoned off, with no one allowed to enter.

As the man in black opened the door, Chen Zhou walked in calmly.

His expression was much calmer compared to the high-spirited Qiangu Zhangting, but his eyes were cold to the extreme.

Knowing how to hide one's edge was a good thing.

But with benefits at stake, revealing one's strength and even clearly choosing a side was exactly what Chen Zhou needed to do at this moment.

If he had any interest in the position of Pagoda Master within the Spirit Pagoda, he had to take action.

Among the three Vice Pagoda Masters and the several top-tier Spirit Masters, the only one who could help him was, in fact, Leng Yaozhu.

After all, Leng Yaozhu's strength was the greatest among them, and she would become a Limit Douluo in the near future, becoming the fourth Limit Douluo of the Spirit Pagoda.

Therefore, with Leng Yaozhu's help, his path to promotion would be much more stable.

If he were to hesitate now, thinking of playing both sides, he would certainly not have a good outcome in the end.

It was precisely because he understood this principle clearly that Chen Zhou intended to make a grand gesture.

His goal this time was not only to hunt those rampaging spirit beasts but, more importantly, to thoroughly defeat the disciples of those Vice Pagoda Masters, as well as Qiangu Zhangting, the grandson of the Pagoda Master himself.

As a drowsy sensation washed over him, Chen Zhou's expression remained unchanged; after all, this was not his first time here.

As Chen Zhou closed his eyes and opened them again, his body had already arrived at the Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Pagoda.

This was a special ecological environment, completely different from any Spirit Ascension Platform Chen Zhou had visited in the past.

The Spirit Ascension Platform here was filled with a sense of riot and destruction, as if it were a simulated Spirit Ascension Platform created during the period when the Spirit Pagoda attacked the Star Dou Great Forest.

Feeling the destructive aura in his surroundings, Chen Zhou's expression remained very calm.

He took a light step forward, and a massive power slowly condensed within his body.

Behind him, the massive Water Dragon martial soul spiraled outward.

The Water Dragon Martial Soul circled around his body.

As a terrifying power surged, a complete water-colored barrier slowly condensed around his body.

Even he had to be cautious.

Although he currently possessed a two-ring cultivation base, he could contend with normal three-ring or four-ring soul masters.

Because of his undying body, the strength he displayed was far greater than what normal people expected.

However, exposing his uniqueness in front of so many high-ranking members of the Qiangu Clan was not something Chen Zhou was willing to do.

While thinking this, his footsteps did not stop, and he slowly headed deeper into the Spirit Ascension Platform.

The surroundings were somewhat desolate, but as Chen Zhou's footsteps went deeper, rustling sounds continued to reach his ears.

These sounds appeared quickly, but Chen Zhou's reaction speed was even faster.

However, the moment the sounds appeared, a sudden change occurred.

Three giant black wolves with scorched fur and blood-red eyes rushed directly out of the bushes to the side.

The gazes of these three giant wolves were locked tightly onto Chen Zhou.

The fur on their bodies was either scorched or matted, revealing raw flesh, and their eyes were filled with rage and malice.

Immediately, they charged forward frantically.

Looking at the three giant wolves, Chen Zhou's expression remained calm.

As he raised his palm, the two purple soul rings on his body lit up.

As his first soul ring suddenly flickered, a massive dragon breath gushed forth.

Although the Clear Stream Dragon Breath was still only at the level of a thousand-year soul skill.

The Water Dragon Martial Soul had not only evolved into the Water Dragon King, but it had even begun to evolve toward the Primordial Dragon.

The destructive attribute attached to the Clear Stream Dragon Breath was even more powerful.

The moment the three giant wolves charged over, the terrifying dragon breath sprayed onto their bodies, instantly melting them.

As specks of starlight appeared, countless points of light, or rather spiritual power, merged into Chen Zhou's body.

Is this the Riot Spirit Ascension Platform? I never expected the speed of absorbing spiritual power in this specially enhanced Riot Spirit Ascension Platform to be so fast.

Feeling his soul ring age beginning to rise rapidly, a rare trace of surprise appeared in Chen Zhou's eyes.

His current soul ring age was already around 7,000 years, and the remaining 3,000 years of improvement would normally take at least several months.

But in this place, in this special Riot Spirit Ascension Platform.

Chen Zhou felt that this time alone should be enough to raise his soul spirit to ten thousand years.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou's eyes flickered slightly, and a glimmer of water flashed through his azure blue pupils.

Relying on his sensory connection with water elements, his perception spread wildly toward the surroundings, wanting to determine the locations of the surrounding soul beasts and other people.

Chen Zhou's perception was actually quite limited.

But relying on his current powerful spiritual power, perception, and his own strength.

He wanted to quickly scan this area and find the locations of others.

This was difficult if one called it difficult, but if one called it easy, it was not difficult at all.
