Chen Ye blinked, unable to understand what the two of them meant.

Only after moving closer did he realize that the terrifying fluctuations around them had been suppressed to a very low level, while their powers were locked in mutual confrontation.

"Na'er, I wasn't lying to you. The Golden Dragon King is on Tang Wulin!"

"Do you really think I would lie to you about something like this? What would I gain from deceiving you about this?"

Gu Yue's voice was low, and obvious anger showed on her face.

Meanwhile, Na'er tightly gripped Gu Yue's hands with both of her own. Her delicate, porcelain-doll-like face was also filled with anger.

"How could the Golden Dragon King possibly be on Brother Wulin? The Golden Dragon King may have some connection to him, but I can't sense the Golden Dragon King's presence at all!"

"There might be Golden Dragon King bloodline within him, but that absolutely has nothing to do with the Golden Dragon King himself."

Na'er's tone was filled with anger. Gu Yue looked at her, then took a deep breath.

Her eyes suddenly turned into purple vertical pupils. Then an even more immense force surged forth, directly sending Na'er flying.

Na'er landed on her butt, pouting with an annoyed look on her face.

Gu Yue calmly rose to her feet. "Believe it or not. I'm not joking with you, nor am I maliciously slandering Tang Wulin. The Golden Dragon King may truly be on him. It's just not that obvious right now."

As Gu Yue spoke, her brows furrowed as well. She could sense the Golden Dragon King's power, but something seemed to be shrouding it, preventing her from sensing it clearly.

Listening to the two girls argue, Chen Ye sat down beside Gu Yue and yawned.

It was perfectly normal that Gu Yue and Na'er could not sense it right now. Tang San was, after all, a supreme God King. His divine consciousness had created the Seal. How could Gu Yue, who was no longer a God King, possibly detect it?

At most, Gu Yue could sense that Tang Wulin's body contained the Golden Dragon King's bloodline. She could not confirm that the Golden Dragon King was on Tang Wulin.

After all, if she could confirm at this point that the Golden Dragon King was on Tang Wulin, Gu Yue would have killed him long ago.

Of course, Na'er did have feelings for Tang Wulin, but when it came to the Golden Dragon King, things might not be so simple.

"It's precisely because she doesn't know about the Golden Dragon King's Seal and can't confirm whether the Golden Dragon King is on Tang Wulin that she hasn't acted."

"Ah, if I said anything now, it would probably only cause even more trouble."

Chen Ye looked at the two girls and shook his head. If Gu Yue had been alone, he might have revealed part of the truth to her.

But with both Gu Yue and Na'er here, there was no way he could say anything.

Still, he did not linger for long. Listening in on some interesting private conversations suited his tastes quite well.

But listening to two girls bicker did not interest him much.

Chen Ye's figure vanished, and when he appeared again, he was already standing outside his dormitory.

Rather than listen to two girls argue, he might as well listen to his idiot roommates bicker.

When the dorm door silently opened, Chen Ye was surprised to find that the other three did not tease him.

Or rather, after being tricked by Chen Ye too many times, the three had instinctively adopted an almost completely defeated attitude.

Seeing his three idiot roommates each minding their own business, Chen Ye sighed helplessly before dropping onto his bed.

Three days passed in a flash, and before they knew it, the wonderful day off had arrived.

That day, Chen Ye had just finished class and was preparing to head back for a good sleep when Wu Zhangkong, who had already walked out, suddenly turned around and returned.

Looking at Wu Zhangkong's cold, stern face, everyone blinked. Xie Xie calmly set down the backpack he had just slung over his shoulder, while Tang Wulin's face instantly fell.

As the saying went, whenever Teacher Wu turned back, something was definitely up.

The moment they saw Teacher Wu return, their hearts went cold.

Sure enough, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Wu Zhangkong's face. He calmly walked back to the podium and gently put down the book he had picked up.

"I need to tell you something. Don't go home tonight, and don't make any other plans."

"The school has arranged for you to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform tomorrow. You should all know about the Spirit Ascension Platform, right? This is a very rare opportunity, so make sure you're free."

Wu Zhangkong coughed as he spoke. He had originally intended to say it before school ended, but he had genuinely forgotten. He only remembered after walking out the door.

To Wu Zhangkong's surprise, their expressions were not particularly ugly after hearing this. Zhang Yangzi and the others even started smiling.

"Eastsea Academy is really generous to our class. Entering the Spirit Ascension Platform even once costs an astronomical sum!"

"Back in Skysea City, I heard that only the top student in each grade gets one free chance to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform!"

"I never thought our benefits would be this good!"

Wei Xiaofeng spoke with excitement on his face. Skysea City was much larger than Eastsea City, yet even Skysea City did not offer benefits this good.

Although the academy had previously said it would let them enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, to be honest, most of them had not believed it.

After all, Spirit Ascension Platform slots were truly expensive, and many people simply could not bear to pay for them.

Most of them had heard of the Spirit Ascension Platform, but few had ever gone. The only ones here who had entered one were Chen Ye and Gu Yue.

However, the Spirit Ascension Platforms those two usually visited were the kind meant for training or hunting soul beasts.

Those Spirit Ascension Platforms were different from the one Wu Zhangkong was taking them to. This paid type of Spirit Ascension Platform could increase the age of Soul Rings.

At that thought, even Gu Yue, who was usually calm, had her eyes light up.

Her Soul Ring was also a yellow one. This was the perfect chance to raise it to the thousand-year level.

"Teacher, what is the Spirit Ascension Platform?" Tang Wulin asked. Seeing the excited looks in his classmates' eyes, he wore a slightly puzzled expression.

The others were fine, as they all had some understanding of the Spirit Ascension Platform. Tang Wulin alone had never understood what it was.

Xie Xie glanced at Tang Wulin and Yun Xiao. Aside from Tang Wulin, Yun Xiao was the only other confused one.

Seeing how lost his two brothers were, Xie Xie helplessly explained.

"The Spirit Ascension Platform is a top-tier cultivation facility created by the Spirit Pagoda. There are very few of them across the entire continent."

"It represents the hard work of countless researchers, and most importantly, the Spirit Ascension Platform can potentially increase a Soul Spirit's age!"

Xie Xie glanced at Tang Wulin as he spoke. His final remark was clearly directed at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing Xie Xie's words.

Golden Language is only ten years old right now, and it can no longer keep up with my cultivation speed.

If I can raise Golden Language to a hundred years, could my cultivation speed increase as well?

Then I won't be the one with the lowest Soul Power in the class anymore!
