Rampaging Spirit Ascension Platform!

"Ah, how am I supposed to lend it to you?" Tang Wulin asked in confusion.

"Just share some of your excess bloodline energy with me!"

"Excess?" Tang Wulin thought to himself. There is some. The question is whether you can handle it.

He still had seventeen extra strands of Golden Dragon King Essence within him.

To be honest, if Arceus had been in peak condition, helping Tang Wulin strip away the Golden Dragon King's entire bloodline would not have been a problem at all.

But Arceus was now severely wounded and on the verge of death. To ensure Tang Wulin's survival while stripping away the Golden Dragon King's power was practically impossible.

"Can you just strip away one layer of the Golden Dragon King Seal?"

"Not right now!"

Su Yu abandoned the idea of directly stripping away Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Seal.

"We need the Dragon Plate!"

"Otherwise, we might not be able to control the rampaging Golden Dragon King power."

Su Yu made his judgment. He was already growing impatient.

He just did not know when he could obtain the Dragon Plate.

"Tomorrow is the final exam. Are you nervous?" Tang Wulin asked casually.

"Not really," Su Yu replied.

Soon, physical training ended.

They returned to the classroom and saw Wu Zhangkong already standing at the podium.

Once everyone had taken their seats, Wu Zhangkong said, "Tomorrow is the final exam. Gather in the classroom first!"

After briefly going over the precautions, he turned and left.

The Class Zero members exchanged glances.

At that moment, Tang Wulin stood up and said, "These are for everyone!"

He took several pieces of inner armor from his storage Soul Tool.

"I made all of these from Thousand Refinement metal. They can improve your chances of survival!"

Tang Wulin handed the Thousand Refinement inner armor to everyone, and Su Yu was no exception.

"Thank you!"

Although the armor would not be much use to him, being as fragile as paper before those Ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts.

It was still a gesture of goodwill from Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin's character was beyond reproach. He was simply upright.

In Su Yu's previous life terms, he was a model student.

That night.

Old Dou entered the Team Rocket's gates. After riding the Soul Guidance Train all day, he had finally returned to East Sea City.

By then, Su Yu was already waiting on the top floor.

When Old Dou arrived on the top floor, Su Yu and Old Steel were both there.

In an instant, Old Dou and Old Steel vanished from the spot, while Su Yu closed his eyes.

The next second, inside Arceus Space.

Arceus's true body opened its eyes, and Old Dou and Old Steel appeared.

The Stone Plate appeared in Old Dou's hand.

Arceus's gaze sharpened, and the Slate floated into the air.

Immediately afterward, it began circling around his body.

The next day arrived quickly.

Su Yu got up early and went to the classroom.

The others had already arrived and were waiting for Su Yu.

Spirit Pagoda.

They skillfully made their way underground into the control room corresponding to the Spirit Ascension Platform.

They had come here many times before.

But there were exceptionally many people here today. It seemed they were all entering the Rampaging Spirit Ascension Platform.

"Five Primary Spirit Ascension Platform entries and one Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform entry, correct?" a Spirit Pagoda staff member asked.

"That's right." Wu Zhangkong nodded.

Long Hengxu was also present. This was the final exam, as well as one of Class Zero's assessment targets.

The value of six tickets was considerable, especially the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform ticket, which was worth even more than five Primary Spirit Ascension Platform tickets.

The six entered the sleeping pods.

Su Yu entered a purple sleeping pod, which looked far more luxurious than the yellow sleeping pods Gu Yue and the others entered.

"Three, two, one!" the staff member began counting down.

As the final count fell, the six sleeping pods immediately began operating.

Su Yu felt a wave of dizziness wash over his mind. This was different from entering the Spirit Ascension Platform normally.

Fortunately, the sensation lasted only a few seconds before the dizziness quickly faded.

The scene before his eyes changed as well.

White clouds and blue skies.

Su Yu immediately crouched down, hiding his body as much as possible.

This was not the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, where the strongest Soul Beasts were only one or two thousand years old.

The Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform had Ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts. If he was carelessly discovered by one—

Su Yu would be finished too.

He surveyed the surrounding environment and discovered some bad news.

It seemed that he had appeared on top of a mountain.

There were no trees around to provide cover.

"This starting position is pretty bad." Su Yu frowned.

He could easily be spotted by flying Soul Beasts from here.

So he had to leave.

Su Yu jogged down the mountain, and only the lush trees gave him a slight sense of security.

Still, the forest was not especially safe either.

To be safe, he continued forward cautiously.

His goal was merely to survive for half an hour. As long as nothing unexpected happened, it should be easy enough.

Just as Su Yu was thinking that, he sensed the grass behind him rustle.

Su Yu frowned. Golden light flashed across his right arm as he prepared for battle.

However, what emerged from behind the grass was not a Soul Beast, but three people.

Su Yu looked carefully and saw two men and one woman.

Su Yu saw them, and naturally, they saw Su Yu as well.

"Hey, why is there a child here?" the woman in the middle asked.

"Could he be a Soul Beast in disguise, trying to lower our guard before ambushing us?" the rather burly man beside her said.

The final man, who looked refined, spoke up. "Probably not. Soul Beasts are not that smart. He should be a Soul Master like us!"

"Ah, coming to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform at such a young age? Did Spirit Pagoda make a mistake?"

The woman looked at Su Yu. "Little brother, this is the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. It's too dangerous!"

Clearly, they thought that a child appearing here was most likely a mistake by Spirit Pagoda.

This was the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, and it was in a rampaging state as well.

"I know," Su Yu replied. Seeing that they did not attack, he began backing away.

True enough, who would bully a little kid?

Seeing Su Yu about to leave, the woman said:

"Little brother, do you want to come with us? It's too dangerous here. We're all five-ring Soul Ancestors!"

However, the other two men frowned. The refined man said nothing, but the burly man spoke bluntly:

"Miaomiao, this is the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. There's no need to bring along deadweight."

"But...!"

The woman named Miaomiao was about to say something else when—

The refined man said:

"Don't forget our mission. Improving our Spirit Souls is the top priority. One more person means one more person to share with! Besides, he's just a child and has no combat ability at all."

"Fine," Miaomiao said helplessly.

Su Yu turned and left. He had no intention of teaming up with others.

For now, his goal was still survival. He could talk about everything else after the half hour was up.

Once the final exam was over, it would not be too late to start making moves.

"Master, I'm hungry!" Xiao You's voice transmitted through their mental link.

"Alright. Wait a moment, and there'll be something to eat," Su Yu said.
