Old Six Behavior, Gu Yue's Curiosity

That dazed, heavy feeling was extremely strange. For most people, it might have had a great effect on them, and forcing themselves free could even make their consciousness completely lose control.

But for Li Moxun, his base spiritual power was above 1,000 points. This place's restrictions on him were already almost nonexistent.

So he clearly felt his consciousness being tugged. In fact, if he had not actively agreed to that pull, the Spirit Ascension Platform would no longer have been able to bring him inside.

And as Li Moxun opened his eyes, his current location had already changed to the inside of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Looking at the incomparably clean forest around him, Li Moxun gently sniffed.

Fresh air drifted over. The scent was very familiar to him, no different from the air of normal reality.

Even Li Moxun was a little surprised by this nearly 100% simulation. He lightly pressed his fingers against a tree, feeling that realistic texture, and a trace of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

The few of them had not been assigned completely together, but their positions should be very close to one another.

With Li Moxun's powerful spiritual power, he had even already sensed the positions of the others, though that feeling was not especially precise.

In order not to be noticed by Wu Zhangkong and the others outside, he pretended to know nothing and casually walked off in one direction.

His goal this time naturally was not Spirit Ascension. After all, the spirit soul he currently possessed was the martial soul and spirit soul of the Titan Snow Demon King, a true hundred-thousand-year spirit soul.

Under these circumstances, even if he killed several thousand or tens of thousands of spirit beasts here, it would be impossible to push his Titan Snow Demon King spirit ring another step forward.

As for his other spirit ring, it had been provided to him by Erii. Under these circumstances, there was even less need for it, so he had only come along this time because everyone else had come.

The reason he had kept wasting time with them, aside from being able to obtain benefits by following the protagonist group, was actually that he was using the protagonist group as a shield.

One had to know that the fastest way for him to obtain resources was not to follow the protagonist group, but to rely on his Spirit Word clones.

Every seven days, he could create one Spirit Word clone. It could even be said that, more or less, he could create one clone every five days.

And as his spiritual power increased, the number of clones he possessed would only grow larger and larger later on.

Under those circumstances, his clones would help him collect resources outside, while he quietly hid beside the protagonist group, silently improving himself and making himself stronger. That was what Li Moxun needed.

Moreover, with the Titan Snow Demon King martial soul, even if others knew he had twin martial souls, his other martial soul was only an ordinary white dragon.

Unless he revealed it himself, no one would know the enormous difference between a white dragon and the White Dragon King.

Under these circumstances, Li Moxun had practically maxed out his concealment. And as he leveled up alongside the protagonist group, his identity would also be quite clean.

When the time came, even if some huge mess really occurred, no one would drag him into it. That was what Li Moxun needed.

Of course, the fact that he himself could not leave did not mean the clones he established could not join other organizations. After all, 1,000 points could only last seven days, but higher than that was by no means the same.

At this moment in the Spirit Ascension Platform, he behaved very casually. This trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform also did not have any especially intense changes.

On the surface, Gu Yue still needed to raise the level of her spirit ring, so she, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie secretly upgraded their spirit souls and began hunting spirit beasts.

Li Moxun, meanwhile, changed his own spirit soul to a thousand-year level. Looking at Li Moxun's thousand-year spirit soul, Wu Zhangkong also let out a breath of relief.

The hundred-thousand-year spirit ring Li Moxun had revealed before had been a little too terrifying, so Wu Zhangkong had been observing this child the whole time after coming here. Now, seeing the thousand-year spirit ring appear on him, Wu Zhangkong also let out a long breath.

As time passed, after the few of them simply hunted some spirit beasts, they did not run into any major problems.

Later, they encountered a powerful Human-Faced Demon Spider. Originally, this Human-Faced Demon Spider was rather troublesome, but with Li Moxun joining in and three two-ring soul masters present, the Human-Faced Demon Spider was dealt with just as quickly.

After leaving the Spirit Ascension Platform, Li Moxun followed everyone straight back to East Sea Academy.

As time reached night, bright moonlight spilled over the earth from the pitch-black sky.

Li Moxun sat quietly cross-legged on his bed. Looking at the empty dorm room, his expression was calm.

Only this time, he raised his palm, and in the center of his hand, a little figure in a red dress appeared.

Looking at the miniature Erii before him, Li Moxun gently poked her cheek. With that little poke, Erii directly plopped down onto her bottom where she was.

She raised her gaze, her red eyes looking at him in innocent confusion, filled with puzzlement, curious as to why Li Moxun had poked her head.

Seeing Erii like this, however, Li Moxun smiled, a trace of doting on his face.

Meanwhile, at the school gate, a young man in black stood there, holding that rank-five soul device in his hand.

Power gathered in his hand. Just as he was about to turn and leave, a somewhat gentle voice calmly sounded from beside him:

"You are Li Moxun. It seems you really did hide an extremely deep trump card."

The woman's voice was very soft and calm, but upon hearing those words, the young man in black froze for a moment. Then he turned back, his golden vertical pupils silently looking over.

At this moment, off to the side, Gu Yue was standing there. The young girl's expression was calm, and she wore the school's uniform dress.

Gazing at Gu Yue, Li Moxun was somewhat surprised that Gu Yue could detect him, but then again, not that surprised.

"Interesting. How did you discover me?"

"And how are you so sure I'm Li Moxun and not someone else?"

As Li Moxun spoke, he gently raised the rank-five soul device in his hand. At that moment, a flash of blue light swept over the blue longsword, while his golden vertical pupils silently watched Gu Yue.

If it had been someone else, he would have already attacked and killed them outright. But facing Gu Yue, he understood that, leaving aside whether this clone could take her down, even if it really could, so what?

Behind her were spirit beasts. He could not kill her. And when the time came, if those powerful spirit beasts acted, for the current him, the only outcome would be certain death.

Seeing Li Moxun raise his hand and sensing that there was no killing intent on him, Gu Yue looked at him with those icy eyes.

Purple vertical pupils and golden vertical pupils met. A trace of curiosity appeared in Gu Yue's eyes.

"The martial soul on you doesn't seem to be a true martial soul. Or rather, within this body of yours, you seem to control a very strange kind of power."

"I can't describe that kind of power, but even I actually felt a sense of dread from it."

As Gu Yue spoke, she took two steps forward. The young girl tapped the tip of her foot against the roof eave, and her whole body dropped down below, leaving her less than half a meter from Li Moxun.

At that moment, the girl's gaze was sizing Li Moxun up, a trace of curiosity in her eyes.

"May I ask where you're going in the middle of the night like this?"

"Judging by your direction, you're probably planning to leave East Sea Academy."

"Of course, it's fine if you don't tell me. I won't force you. But your face seems a little familiar. The person who broke into Spirit Pagoda late last night was you, wasn't it?" Gu Yue smiled as she said this. There was no danger in her tone, but those words were more dangerous than any threat.
