Spirit Ascension Platform!

Eastsea Academy, first-year Class Zero.

From the podium, Wu Zhangkong said, "Starting today, you will go to the Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platform for training every week!"

"This was specially secured through funding allocated by the academy!"

Spirit Ascension Platform!

At that moment, Xie Xie whispered, "The academy is really going all out. They truly think highly of us!"

Tang Wulin was somewhat confused. "What is the Spirit Ascension Platform?"

"You don't even know what the Spirit Ascension Platform is?" Xie Xie asked in surprise, beginning to explain it to Tang Wulin.

"The Spirit Ascension Platform is...!"

"The Spirit Ascension Platform?" Su Yu pondered.

He remembered that Gu Yue had relied on the Spirit Ascension Platform to control most of the Soul Masters throughout the Federation.

As long as their Inner Focus had not reached the Divine Level, they would be controlled by Gu Yue.

He turned to look at Gu Yue and saw her flawless profile.

Although Gu Yue's appearance had been described as ordinary in Third Young Master's writing, in Su Yu's eyes, she was the type whose looks became more pleasing the longer one looked.

She was not breathtaking at first glance, but one could never grow tired of looking at her.

At that moment, Gu Yue sensed Su Yu's gaze and turned to look at him as well.

Su Yu quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet Gu Yue's eyes.

Ever since what had happened before, he had developed an inexplicable fear of Gu Yue.

Especially when their eyes met.

Even though he had done nothing. He had merely held her for one night.

That afternoon, East Sea Spirit Pagoda.

Eight figures stood before the grand building.

Besides Teacher Wu and the six students of Class Zero, first-year director Long Hengxu had come along as well.

Class Zero was Eastsea Academy's hope for the future. He had to keep an eye on them and prevent any accidents.

Su Yu raised his head and thought, It looks like Team Rocket needs to expand!

The current Team Rocket Tower was not even comparable to the East Sea Spirit Pagoda, let alone the Spirit Pagoda's headquarters.

"Team Rocket is now standing against the Spirit Pagoda. They won't toss a Level-Nine Soul Guidance Cannon shell at us, will they?"

The thought made Su Yu's heart turn cold. He felt that it was entirely possible.

Especially once Team Rocket began continuously taking over the Spirit Pagoda's market in the future.

The Spirit Pagoda would definitely not sit back and do nothing.

Launching a Soul Guidance Cannon shell was not impossible.

"Let's go!" Wu Zhangkong was the first to head toward the Spirit Pagoda.

Long Hengxu walked beside him.

Seeing this, Su Yu and the other five quickly followed.

The moment they entered the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wulin was drawn to a mural beside them.

It depicted the history of the Spirit Pagoda.

Su Yu also curiously looked toward the mural. The first person he saw was Ice Spirit Douluo Huo Yuhao.

And beside him was Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong.

Su Yu curled his lip as he looked at Huo Yuhao's mural and thought, It can't feel good being someone else's dog, can it?

He raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the Spirit Pagoda.

Fortunately, Tang Buddha left! Otherwise...

Su Yu did not dare imagine what Tang Buddha would say if he saw his Arceus avatar.

Would he directly declare that Su Yu had chosen the path of death?

Although Su Yu did not know what Tang Buddha would do, and the phrase was merely a joke.

Still, faced with a severely injured god on the verge of death, he did not believe no one would be tempted.

Moreover, Arceus was the Creator God and possessed Creation Authority.

The previous god to possess Creation Authority had been the Dragon God.

He did not look any longer. In any case, Tang Buddha would need at least ten thousand years before returning.

What expression would Tang Buddha have when he returned and saw that his home had been stolen?

The elevator doors opened, and the eight of them stepped out.

The elevator was large enough to hold at least ten or twenty people, yet Gu Yue stood right beside Su Yu.

The elevator descended swiftly, and a sensation of weightlessness washed over them.

Soon, the elevator doors opened again, revealing bright silver walls.

After leaving the elevator and passing through a corridor, they followed Wu Zhangkong into an equally bright room.

Inside the room was a huge screen that occupied an entire wall.

The eight of them entered. Several Spirit Pagoda staff members in white coats were inside.

They were constantly observing the data on the screen.

At that moment, Long Hengxu took out a metal card and handed it to one of the staff members.

The staff member swiped the card through a machine beside him, then nodded and led them toward a corridor.

After passing through another long corridor and taking another elevator, they finally arrived in a spacious area.

Team Rocket's foundation is still lacking. The gap between us and the East Sea Spirit Pagoda is this enormous!

No matter how they compared them, Team Rocket could not be mentioned in the same breath as the Spirit Pagoda.

This was the gap in foundation.

Several metal hibernation pods stood in the space, and another screen was mounted on the wall.

The screen displayed lush green scenery.

As Su Yu was thinking, Wu Zhangkong turned to them and said,

"Pokémon Soul Spirits are physical entities, so they cannot enter the Spirit Ascension Platform with you!"

Instantly, Zhang Yangzi looked at Su Yu and the other three. He whispered into Wang Jinxi's ear,

"They can't bring their Pokémon Soul Spirits. Let's see how long they can last! Especially Su Yu!"

"But his physical condition is stronger than all of ours. His strength must be greater than ours too, right?" Wang Jinxi said.

"Then his actual combat ability must be terrible. What real combat ability could someone who relies on Pokémon Soul Spirits have?"

For the past few days, Wu Zhangkong had focused on physical training, with relatively few combat training sessions.

Therefore, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi did not know Su Yu's combat strength.

The staff member looked at Su Yu and the others and said,

"The Primary Spirit Ascension Platform allows six people in at once, with no time limit. When you encounter danger, press the distress signal, and you will be teleported back!"

"Each of you, enter a hibernation pod. It may feel a little uncomfortable later, but just endure it!"

Su Yu and the other five entered the hibernation pods as the pod doors slowly closed.

His vision fell into darkness. The next second, a wave of drowsiness surged over him.

When he opened his eyes again, the scene before him had changed.

"It actually feels similar to switching avatars!" Su Yu muttered.

He looked around, and all he could see was green.

Green everywhere.

The chirping of insects and birds!

The trees around him were all exceptionally tall.

"Is this the Star Dou Great Forest from the past?"

Su Yu remembered hearing someone say that the Spirit Ascension Platform had been built using the Star Dou Great Forest from ten thousand years ago as its model.

He touched his waist. The Poké Balls that had originally been there had vanished, clearly not having been brought into the Spirit Ascension Platform.

He began strolling through the primeval forest.

Suddenly, Su Yu realized that the sounds of insects and birds around him had disappeared, as though they had never existed.

He sensed that something was wrong.

"Is there a powerful Soul Beast nearby?"

He had been able to hear insects before, but now he could not.

That could only mean he had entered the territory of a powerful Soul Beast.

Su Yu looked around, but he did not spot any figure.

"I'd like to see what kind of Soul Beast it is!"

Outside.

Long Hengxu and Wu Zhangkong were watching the images on the screen.

The screen displayed six scenes, showing the actions of Su Yu and the other five.

Long Hengxu frowned and said,

"Su Yu is being too reckless. He clearly knows he has entered a powerful Soul Beast's territory. Without knowing the Soul Beast's strength, he should leave!"
