Bright Capital, Spirit Pagoda.
Over the past few years, Yun Feng had traveled between the Mingdu Spirit Pagoda and the War God Hall many times. She already knew the route like the back of her hand.
Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun had accompanied Yun Feng.
Because relations between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda had deteriorated rapidly over the past few years, Ya Li had not come along.
When Leng Yaozhu learned that Yun Feng had arrived, she greeted her in the lobby with a smile.
"Yun'er!"
"Aunt Sky Phoenix!"
Yun Feng smiled and waved at Leng Yaozhu.
Leng Yaozhu smiled and said to Yun Feng, "When I heard you were coming, I had them prepare a Spirit Ascension Platform immersion pod for you. Shall I take you there?"
Yun Feng nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Aunt Sky Phoenix!"
Spirit Ascension Platform area.
After Yun Feng lay down in the immersion pod, everyone went to the monitoring hall to observe the situation.
"By the way, I heard that this year's preparatory assessment at Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy has ended. How did Yun'er perform?"
Leng Yaozhu suddenly turned to Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun beside her and asked slowly.
Su Mengjun smiled upon hearing her question.
"Naturally, she was the best!"
As she spoke, she described what had happened at the time to Leng Yaozhu.
After hearing it, Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly.
"Not bad!"
"As expected of Yun'er."
"Next... she should become an official student of Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy, right? Time passes so quickly. In another six or seven years, she should be able to stand on her own!"
She sighed emotionally, her gaze settling on the large screen as she watched Yun Feng move through the Star Dou Forest simulated by the Spirit Ascension Platform. Her eyes were profound.
"The future of humanity!"
Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun both nodded.
"Indeed."
"With her, humanity is fortunate!"
Behind them.
Bi Ji, who had been listening to the three of them, remained silent.
Humanity was fortunate?
Let them think it was humanity's good fortune, then!
Although something like the Abyss was indeed a threat that Soul Beasts had to eliminate, that did not mean it was for the sake of helping humanity.
How could the Soul Beasts' ruler possibly become humanity's savior?
Bi Ji raised her head and looked at Yun Feng on the large screen.
Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.
As Yun Feng traveled onward, every simulated Soul Beast she encountered showed submission toward her.
Though it was not as exaggerated as with dragon-type Soul Beasts, she did not need to act herself. Those Soul Beasts would willingly allow her to use the Golden Dragon Spear to absorb their energy.
She absorbed all that energy, and the color of the Soul Rings displayed on her body became increasingly deep.
Unfortunately, the Spirit Ascension Platform's energy was supplied by the Spirit Pagoda itself, so the amount of energy she could absorb here was limited.
"Ding—"
A notification sounded beside Yun Feng's ear.
Her time was up. It was time for her to leave.
Yun Feng put away the Golden Dragon Spear and slowly closed her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, she opened her eyes inside the immersion pod. Before anyone outside could come for her, she directly opened the pod from within.
In the monitoring room, seeing that Yun Feng had emerged, Leng Yaozhu turned to Bi Ji and said, "Qing Zhi, go bring Yun'er over."
"Okay."
Bi Ji answered.
Su Mengjun said, "I'll go too."
Leng Yaozhu smiled when she heard that.
"Is God Sword Douluo worried about the safety of our Spirit Pagoda?"
Su Mengjun looked somewhat awkward. "Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, you misunderstand..."
However, Bi Ji ran back before long and hurriedly said to them, "This is bad! Feng'er is gone!"
"What?"
The others looked stunned upon hearing Bi Ji's words.
Su Mengjun immediately ran out.
When she arrived at the immersion pods, Yun Feng was indeed nowhere to be seen. She searched everywhere, but even after scouring the Spirit Pagoda, she could not find any trace of Yun Feng.
Leng Yaozhu also ordered everyone in the Spirit Pagoda to search for Yun Feng.
Only after a long while did they learn that Yun Feng had slipped out through a side door in the Spirit Pagoda's lobby. By then, no one knew where she had gone.
"Damn it!"
"This is far too dangerous!"
Su Mengjun frowned tightly.
Long Tianwu immediately said, "Mengjun, stay at the Spirit Pagoda. I'll return to the War God Hall at once!"
"Alright."
Su Mengjun nodded.
On her way back, Long Tianwu used her soul guidance terminal to tell Chen Xinjie that Yun Feng had disappeared.
Chen Xinjie was furious when he learned of it!
However, at that moment, Tang Wulin handed Chen Xinjie a letter.
"Vast Sea Douluo, this is a letter my sister left for you."
"A letter?"
Chen Xinjie froze for a moment.
He accepted it and began reading.
There was not much in the letter.
Yun Feng had written it to tell him that she was going out to train and that he should not worry.
After reading it, Chen Xinjie became even angrier. "Isn't this utter nonsense?!"
Then he looked at Tang Wulin and said angrily, "Wulin, you knew your sister was leaving. Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Do you know how dangerous it is for her to go out like this?"
Tang Wulin pressed his lips together and said to Chen Xinjie, "But my sister told me not to tell anyone! I promised her, so... even if it's you, Your Excellency, I won't say anything!"
"You..."
Chen Xinjie frowned.
Seeing Tang Wulin's serious expression, he could only sigh helplessly.
"Ah!"
"You really are..."
Chen Xinjie flicked his sleeve and left.
Watching Chen Xinjie leave, Tang Wulin breathed a sigh of relief, but he also began to worry.
"I wonder whether my sister can escape Bright Capital smoothly."
"Vast Sea Douluo is a Limit Douluo. He can mobilize who knows how many people. She absolutely must not get caught by him!"
As Tang Wulin was thinking this, another person's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
"Wulin!"
"You brat, now that she's gone, isn't this your chance?"
It was Old Tang.
Ever since Tang Wulin had broken open the first Golden Dragon King Seal years ago, Old Tang had awakened.
For all these years, he had remained within Tang Wulin's Spiritual Sea.
Tang Wulin frowned upon hearing that voice.
"A chance?"
"That's right!"
Old Tang answered, saying to Tang Wulin, "Your sister's Martial Soul is the Golden Dragon Spear, and she can absorb the Gold Dragon King's Power. With her by your side, the power within the seals will all be taken by her!"
"But now that she's gone, once you break open the seals in the future, all of the Gold Dragon King's Power will be yours!"
"Legend says that the Gold Dragon King was an incomparably powerful Dragon Clan God King. If you can obtain his power, your future achievements will be limitless!"
After Old Tang finished speaking, Tang Wulin frowned.
"No!"
He immediately shook his head.
Old Tang frowned and asked, "Why not?"
"My sister said that while she's away, this power must absolutely not be unsealed!"
Tang Wulin looked serious, but Old Tang sighed upon hearing this.
"Ah, you..."
"You're too stubborn! Wouldn't it be better to absorb the Gold Dragon King's Power yourself?"
"If your sister hadn't absorbed that Gold Dragon King's Power back then, she wouldn't be so powerful today! You're the one most suited to obtain this power!"
Old Tang continued tempting Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin shook his head firmly. "I said no, and that means no!"
