The Times Change, the Mystic Phoenix Will Return!

"Teacher Leng?"

Having finished his conversation with Wang Jinxi, Tang Wulin curiously leaned in.

He could clearly see Leng Hanyuan and Gu Yue's mouths moving.

Yet, he couldn't hear a single word they were saying.

This must be another one of Teacher Leng's methods!

Tang Wulin naturally attributed it to Leng Hanyuan.

After all, in Tang Wulin's mind, Leng Hanyuan was practically an omnipotent existence.

"It's nothing."

Leng Hanyuan cast a strange look at Tang Wulin and dispelled the mental interference.

"I was just preparing to take you all to the Spirit Transmission Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platform to have some fun."

Leng Hanyuan casually offered a reason.

Of course, it wasn't something he had made up on the spot.

It was a decision made by Dean Yu Zhen and the others at East Sea Academy.

"Spirit Ascension Platform?"

The voice was filled with confusion.

It came from Tang Wulin, who knew nothing about the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"Spirit Ascension Platform?!"

This voice was filled with surprise and excitement.

It came from Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi, all of whom understood the significance of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

"That's right."

Wu Zhangkong, dressed in white, walked in through the door just then.

"This is a special privilege provided to you by the academy."

"From now on, you will have the opportunity to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform for training once a week, so you must cherish it."

Tang Wulin listened, completely bewildered.

He was even more confused after seeing the excited expressions on the faces of Xie Xie and the others.

He asked:

"What is this Spirit Ascension Platform?"

Before Xie Xie could answer, Wang Jinxi spoke up eagerly to clear up Tang Wulin's confusion:

"The Spirit Ascension Platform is the crystallization of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda's research."

"Spirit masters can go inside to upgrade their spirit souls."

"The Spirit Ascension Platform is also divided into different levels."

"Entering it requires both money and a quota."

"Money is secondary; the quota is what's most important."

"After all, each primary Spirit Ascension Platform of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda only has one thousand entry slots per month."

"So, the academy has really made a huge investment this time!"

Wang Jinxi said, quite excitedly.

He felt increasingly fortunate about joining Class Zero.

Hearing his explanation, Tang Wulin roughly understood what this Spirit Ascension Platform was.

A hint of excitement appeared on his young face.

After all, compared to the others, Tang Wulin, who only possessed a ten-year spirit soul, was even more eager to upgrade his spirit soul.

After all, the age and level of a spirit soul were not only related to his strength but also to his pride.

Although Tang Wulin didn't seem to care much on the surface, how could he truly not care?

Every time he released his spirit ring, he could feel the strange looks others gave his ten-year spirit ring.

Tang Wulin had always envied the hundred-year spirit rings of Xie Xie and the others.

So, upon hearing the function of the Spirit Ascension Platform, Tang Wulin naturally became excited.

Only Gu Yue rolled her eyes, not appearing very interested.

It was just the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Those so-called quotas were only for show to the outside world.

As the nominal disciple of Grand Elder Leng Hanyuan of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, Gu Yue could enter the Spirit Ascension Platform whenever she pleased.

Furthermore, the Spirit Ascension Platform was actually of no use to Gu Yue.

After all, she did not possess a spirit soul.

What Gu Yue wanted was to use her own techniques to integrate the Dragon God Secret Technique into the spirit souls of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.

This was to achieve the goal of implementing her other plan.

However, she currently lacked the opportunity to access such core secrets and could only slowly climb the ranks within the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.

She strove to enter the core layer of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda as soon as possible to fulfill her purpose.

Yet, Gu Yue could not have known that her so-called secret plans were already laid bare in the eyes of Leng Hanyuan.

Even if Gu Yue were to rise through the ranks later and reach the point of entering the core layer of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, Leng Hanyuan would never watch her implement her plans with impunity.

The plan to use the Spirit Transmission Pagoda's spirit souls to bury the Dragon God Secret Technique and control all of humanity was, in Leng Hanyuan's eyes, nothing more than an impossible dream from the very beginning.

Gu Yue's dismissive attitude was not lost on Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and the others.

Subconsciously, they wanted to retort.

But after recalling the identity of the person before them, they felt her reaction was only natural.

They could only offer powerless accusations.

Tsk, what an infuriating case of nepotism!

The Spirit Transmission Pagoda in East Sea City was one of the eighteen major towers under the organization's banner.

It stood over a hundred stories tall.

Towering into the clouds, it looked incredibly spectacular.

It was also the tallest building in East Sea City.

This was Tang Wulin's first time visiting the East Sea City Spirit Transmission Pagoda.

Compared to the Spirit Transmission Pagoda in Aolai City, the one before his eyes was clearly more visually striking.

Long Hengxu had joined the group halfway there.

He was representing East Sea Academy officially.

After all, the opportunity for Tang Wulin and the others to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform had been secured by East Sea Academy, so Long Hengxu naturally had to make an appearance.

This was also a form of reminder.

It reminded Tang Wulin and the others of the academy's assistance.

After all, no investment was ever made without the expectation of profit.

The return East Sea Academy expected on its investment in Tang Wulin and the others was for them to give back to the academy once they had grown in the future.

Therefore, making them feel the grace bestowed by the academy was of the utmost importance.

They entered the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.

The magnificent, golden decor of the first floor stunned Tang Wulin, a boy from a small city.

This place was far more grand than anywhere he had ever seen before!

Although Tang Wulin was not very familiar with the murals hanging on the walls, he could guess that they were certainly worth a fortune.

"What is recorded here is the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago, the founder of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, Senior Huo Yuhao."

Long Hengxu softly introduced the identity of the man depicted in the mural to Tang Wulin and the others.

Tang Wulin and his companions all wore expressions of longing as they listened.

Only Leng Hanyuan felt a strange sensation arise in his heart.

To be honest, seeing an old acquaintance appear on a mural was quite a peculiar feeling.

Naturally, Leng Hanyuan could not share the same sense of longing as Tang Wulin and the others.

Ten thousand years ago, he had clashed with Huo Yuhao, that Son of Destiny, more than a few times.

Almost every encounter had ended in his own overwhelming victory.

He had even personally blocked the entirety of Shrek Academy from reaching the finals during that Spirit Master Tournament.

For a time, Leng Hanyuan had become the shadow lurking in the depths of Huo Yuhao's heart.

The Ice Emperor, who should have become Huo Yuhao's spirit soul, had been intercepted by him instead.

Huo Yuhao's martial soul had also changed from the original Ice Jade Empress Scorpion to a common Ice Jade Scorpion.

Come to think of it, back then, he had even deliberately planted a small seed in Huo Yuhao's heart before he became a god.

He wondered if, after ten thousand years, that little seed had taken root and sprouted in the depths of Huo Yuhao's heart, or if it had been completely erased.

The reality that the victor takes all was vividly reflected in the changing tides of the world.

As a genius who had surpassed Huo Yuhao in that era, he had ultimately faded into obscurity after sealing himself away.

Ten thousand years later, his story had all but vanished.

Huo Yuhao, that defeated opponent who had been willing to submit to the Tang God King in order to ascend to the God Realm, had been the one passed down through history instead.

Yet, Leng Hanyuan did not feel particularly dejected.

History is written by the victors; it had been that way since time immemorial!

And he would never be the one to lose!

This era, ten thousand years later, was the chessboard upon which he would play his game once more!

The reputation of the Mystic Phoenix had been buried by the dust of ten thousand years.

But soon...

The name of the Mystic Phoenix would make a comeback with the even more glorious momentum of a rebirth from the ashes!
