Although Yu Longyue was filled with doubts, he did not show them.
"Could I ask for more details about the process of spiritual ascension?"
"We've made some modifications to the High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform. The core technology is based on and supplemented by Huo Haodong's theories," Qiangu Dongfeng chuckled. "Now you understand how invaluable Huo Haodong is, right?"
"Indeed, no wonder you went to such lengths to poach him."
Yu Longyue sighed.
If they don't give it to us soon, they might push the Spirit Pagoda to the brink and do anything.
They haven't taken action yet, probably to avoid upsetting Huo Haodong.
Such highly skilled technical personnel would never be exposed to the public.
He never expected that Huo Yuhao would cause such a big commotion after he had only been bedridden for a year.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to your discerning eye that we were able to discover such talent." Qiangu Dongfeng clenched his fists and placed them on the table. "Our people have conducted experiments, and the efficiency of spirit ascension is at least ten percent higher than before."
"You are Huo Haodong's benefactor, so consider this opportunity free for you. The entrance fee will be much more expensive later."
"That's possible, but could I bring him in with me?" Yu Longyue pointed at Huo Yuhao, "So that he can get some of the benefits too."
Qiangu Dongfeng was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Now I finally understand why you're so popular. You treat your subordinates so well. I really need to learn from you in that regard, no problem!"
"Thank you, Tower Master. In that case, I shall humbly accept your offer."
After further discussion, Qiangu Dongfeng made some arrangements and then led Yu Longyue and Huo Yuhao to the High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform.
During the journey, Na'er suddenly ran over quietly and handed a bag to Yu Longyue.
"This is?"
" Gu Yue made this meal for you. She saw you came to the Spirit Pagoda for a meeting in the middle of the day and was worried you hadn't eaten, so she made you some food."
Yu Longyue paused for a moment, shook her head and smiled, then immediately accepted it.
Seeing this, Qiangu Dongfeng smiled knowingly and said, "We'll wait for you inside. Let's eat first; you'll need energy if you're full."
Thank you for your understanding.
Yu Longyue went to a corner and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, secretly opened the larger lunchboxes.
Upon opening the box, one of the boxes contained five peeled red jade shrimp, neatly arranged.
The other box contained a large black steamed bun, topped with some condiments to cut through the richness. It looked quite exquisite, clearly showing that the cook had put in a lot of effort.
Besides these, there are also some seafood dishes that boost blood circulation and are very filling. Anyway, watching Yu Longyue gives me a feeling of coming home.
The food his family provided him was of a similar standard.
Yu Longyue smiled and finished the whole thing in less than a minute. Her eating habits made Na'er's mouth twitch as she watched.
"Brother, eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Na'er swallowed, although she also really wanted to eat, just like Yu Longyue, she was a big eater.
"I'm afraid you'll go hungry and I'll steal it." Yu Longyue rolled her eyes, then carefully put the lunchbox away. "I'm going back to work after I finish eating. You can wander around outside for a bit. If anything happens, find my brother, he'll help you."
"What if he doesn't solve it for me?"
"I'll beat him up and he'll behave."
The primeval forest inside the High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform represents the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, thus presenting an ancient and mysterious tranquility.
This highest-level Spirit Ascension Platform is mostly used by those with cultivation levels around Soul Saint, with the highest being Level 89 Soul Douluo. The Spirit Pagoda does not allow Titled Douluo to enter, otherwise it cannot withstand the pressure.
The Star Dou Great Forest, which represents the core area, also looks even more ancient, with very few Soul Beast, even fewer than the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform area.
Here, sunlight filters through layers of tree canopy, casting only dappled shadows on the ground.
The air is filled with the fragrance of earth and the freshness of plants, giving one a sense of tranquility far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world.
Only the occasional gentle breeze rustles through the treetops, creating a pleasant whisper.
The small lake in the forest was as calm as a mirror, crystal clear, with not a single ripple on its surface.
Yu Longyue and Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared here, but did not disturb any Soul Beast.
"Is this the High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform? This is my first time here." Yu Longyue exclaimed, then initiated a conversation with Huo Yuhao through the spiritual world.
The Spirit Pagoda is monitored inside, and you can even hear the sounds, but you can't listen to the conversations in the spiritual world.
Their technology isn't that advanced yet.
Yu Longyue glanced at Huo Yuhao and began telepathic communication:
"Explain yourself what happened."
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback when he received Yu Longyue's question in the spiritual world, but then he understood what she meant. He sorted out his thoughts and began to explain to Yu Longyue.
"It's like this, after I joined the company, didn't you arrange for me to go into the Spirit Pagoda to participate in the collaborative project? That included research on Soul Spirit." Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in the spiritual world.
Yu Longyue nodded, signaling him to continue.
"In this process, some situations are unavoidable, and I didn't want things to progress too quickly, but the Spirit Pagoda's technical team is top-notch. Sometimes I didn't want to push things forward so fast, but who knew they could apply it to the High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform in the blink of an eye," Huo Yuhao continued. "So, inviting you over to experience it was also Qiangu Dongfeng's idea. I just didn't expect you to agree so quickly."
"I can't refuse. The Qiangu Dongfeng is watching me, and I have no reason to refuse them," Yu Longyue said calmly.
"If I refuse, they'll only suspect I have something to hide. Once I'm in, I'll inevitably have to fight right under their noses, exposing all my physical information. It's an open conspiracy, and I can't refuse."
After saying that, Yu Longyue glanced at Huo Yuhao and pouted, "If you hadn't done it so quickly..."
"My bad, I didn't expect them to be this amazing." Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "I only provided some trivial theories, and they were able to follow the clues and innovate from them. I can only say that they are truly the most outstanding talents on the entire continent, and the technology they possess is enough to change the situation on the Douluo Continent."
"Never mind."
Yu Longyue thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"Since they have the opportunity to ascend to higher realms, let them get my information."
"Is it alright? Aren't you going to act it out?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Act? How can I act? They're the ones who work with Soul Spirit, they can definitely tell at a glance that my Soul Spirit is not far from ascending to a higher level in 100,000 years. If I choose not to ascend at 90,000 years, do you think Qiangu Dongfeng will suspect me?" Yu Longyue rolled her eyes.
"So I have no choice but to ascend. Come, Spiritual Detection Sharing with me."
Huo Yuhao silently took a few steps back. "Are you going to use your full strength?"
"Do I look like someone who knows my physical information could solve my type?" Yu Longyue stretched, her tone calm. "Since they're so eager to know, then I'll show them everything."
"I will slaughter every single Soul Beast in this High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
At this moment, outside the Spirit Ascension Platform.
"Pick up the Yu Longyue data panel." Qiangu Dongfeng glanced at the screen.
"Yes, Tower Master."
The technician tapped a few keys on the keyboard, and a series of numbers appeared on the screen. A synthesized voice then slowly read them out:
Name: Yu Longyue
Soul Power: Level 59 Soul King
Soul Power quality: equivalent to Level 80 Soul Douluo
Soul Core: Possesses a Thunder Attribute Soul Core.
Age: Between fourteen and fifteen years old
Physical strength analysis: Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast level
Spiritual Power:???
Martial Soul:???
Soul Spirit: The first to fourth Soul Ring are provided by the Thunder Dragon Soul Spirit, True Dragon level, from the True Dragon Mountain region, approximately 89,300 years ago.
The Fifth Soul Ring was provided by the Soul Spirit '???', its level and cultivation level are unknown.
Qiangu Dongfeng gasped as he looked at the information.
The level 59 Soul King cultivated Soul Core, a skill typically reserved for Soul Saint.
Good thing I checked, otherwise I would have offended him...
Forget it, it's foolish to be an enemy of such a genius; befriending him is the best policy.
What's the meaning of those question marks?
"Master, Yu Longyue is a special case. Some information that isn't in our system won't be displayed," the technician honestly explained.
" Yu Longyue's Martial Soul is God Level Martial Soul. According to the system's assessment, we know it is of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon type, but we don't know its specifics. God Level Martial Soul like Yu Longyue has never appeared in the Federation system before, so we have no way to determine its nature."
"As for Spiritual Power, our machine also malfunctioned because of the problem of checking his Spiritual Power... We are currently conducting emergency repairs."
"And Yu Longyue's second Soul Spirit is also not recorded in our records."
Now it's Qiangu Dongfeng's turn to have a headache.
"There are so many unknowns... However, his second Soul Spirit should be a family heirloom, something we helped them with over five thousand years ago. The records probably don't exist anymore."
The technician nodded. "Yes."
Qiangu Dongfeng wanted to continue speaking, but then he felt a tremor inside the Ascension pod.
What happened?
"Retrieving internal surveillance footage from the Spirit Ascension Platform... Wait, why are all the cameras broken?"
A technician nearby immediately said:
"Tower Master, we observed that within just ten minutes, a full ten Soul Beast over fifty thousand years old died inside the High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform..."
" Qiangu Dongfeng:"
"This speed is still increasing... If this continues, he'll kill all the Soul Beast inside the High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform in less than half an hour."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Ascension Platform suddenly opened, and Huo Yuhao was thrown out of it.
His expression was very complicated; he endured the pain and couldn't help but say:
"It was an accidental injury, is it really necessary to be so angry?"
"Save lives first." Qiangu Dongfeng waved his hand, and the medical staff immediately followed.
Soon after, they came to the conclusion that Huo Haodong had been electrocuted to death by lightning inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.
"What happened inside?" Qiangu Dongfeng couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, Yu Longyue has gone mad inside. He's taking down Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with every punch and kick, and he's carrying me around everywhere... Then we just encountered a fight between three seven-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, and he rushed in, accidentally injuring me as well."
Everyone fell silent.
Then I heard many technicians panicking:
"What happened? Two-thirds of the Soul Beast inside the High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform have disappeared. When will it be fully restored?"
"Damn it! Yu Longyue has encountered the guardian of the High-Rank Spirit Ascension Platform, and he's run into that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
Qiangu Dongfeng immediately focused his attention on the screen; the red signal represented the location of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
The yellow dot signal represents the Yu Longyue; at this moment, the two signals have overlapped.
What truly broke Qiangu Dongfeng's heart was that the once densely packed black signals on the huge screen had completely disappeared.
What about the other Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
"They've all been killed by Yu Longyue..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the red signal dimmed.
The next second, Yu Longyue's spirit-ascension pod was kicked open, and Yu Longyue, whose body was crackling with lightning, slowly appeared.
The Spiritual Qi within him reached its limit, transforming into the cultivation of Soul Spirit spirit.
Right there in front of everyone, Yu Longyue slowly opened her eyes, and with that came the Martial Soul Possession, with a full six Soul Ring clearly displayed before everyone's eyes.
Red, red, red, red, purple-blue-red, dark red.
Sixth Ring, Soul Emperor!
