The wary Bai Yushan
Bai Yushan raised an eyebrow.
"The Spirit Ascension Platform. What are you going there for?"
The Spirit Ascension Platform is no fun place. It's extremely dangerous, teeming with Soul Beast, and one wrong step could mean certain death. What would Gu Yue, a level 19, One-Ring Soul Master, be doing at the Spirit Ascension Platform?
"Cultivation."
Gu Yue's words are concise and to the point.
"My Martial Soul is quite special, requiring me to hone my elemental control abilities in various environments. The Spirit Ascension Platform offers a diverse environment and a wide variety of Soul Beast, making it perfect for my cultivation."
This reason sounds reasonable.
Bai Yushan looked at her for a few seconds, but did not immediately agree.
He always felt that Gu Yue's gaze towards him was a little strange.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but something just doesn't feel right.
This made Bai Yushan wary.
Has the allure of Magnetic Field Rotation become so strong that it even affects a nine-year-old girl?
Bai Yushan mentally complained.
But despite the complaints, we still need to consider the things that need to be considered.
It's a fact that Gu Yue knows Na'er. Based on that alone, Bai Yushan can't treat her as a stranger.
Most importantly, Bai Yushan wanted to see what secrets this Gu Yue held.
It's highly unusual for a level 19 Soul Master to be able to approach me silently.
Bai Yushan gave Gu Yue a serious look, then took out his Communication Soul Tool.
He tapped the numbers on the screen a few times and dialed a number.
"Hey, Uncle Yu Zhen, I have a favor to ask you."
Yu Zhen's voice came from the other end of the Communication Soul Tool.
"Yushan, what's wrong? Tell me."
Yu Zhen's voice sounded very gentle, carrying a hint of an elder's care for a younger person.
"I have a friend who wants to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform with me, yes, he's from Class Zero."
As Bai Yushan spoke, he looked at Gu Yue.
A strange expression appeared on his face.
Gu Yue was somewhat at a loss for words under his gaze.
She didn't know what Yu Zhen had said, nor did she know why Bai Yushan was looking at her like that.
That look in his eyes was as if he were looking at something strange.
Gu Yue couldn't help but touch her face.
Is there something on my face?
No.
Bai Yushan continued the call.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your trouble, Yu Zhen. I'll pay in Federation Coins; please don't refuse."
After exchanging a few more words, Bai Yushan ended the call.
He put away the Communication Soul Tool, looked at Gu Yue, and had a strange expression on his face.
Gu Yue felt uneasy under his gaze.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Bai Yushan considered for a moment before speaking.
"Actually, you'll also be undergoing trials to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform this week, so you don't need to come with me."
Bai Yushan's words were earnest.
After all, who knows how the closer one gets to the Magnetic Field Rotation, the more the damn magnetic field's fate and unique charm will spread!
Ye Yingluo is a case in point.
If it weren't for societal norms and the warnings about his teaching qualifications, Bai Yushan would often suspect that Ye Yingluo's gaze was entirely intent on taking advantage of him.
That woman's eyes always lit up whenever she looked at me.
It's like a wolf that's been starving for three days seeing a piece of fatty meat.
Now that another Gu Yue has arrived, Bai Yushan needs to take precautions.
Although Gu Yue seems normal now, who knows what will happen in the future.
The allure of Magnetic Field Rotation is truly irrational.
Bai Yushan secretly resolved to keep his distance from Gu Yue.
We can't let her become another Ye Yingluo.
Gu Yue tilted her head, looking at Bai Yushan with a puzzled expression.
"What does this have to do with me looking for you? Wouldn't it be better if I could come in one more time?"
She didn't understand what Bai Yushan was saying at all.
What do you mean by "there's no need to follow him"?
Entering the Spirit Ascension Platform more often means having more opportunities to cultivate—isn't that a good thing?
It was only then that Bai Yushan realized that indeed, every opportunity to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform was a chance for ordinary Soul Master students to improve themselves.
He himself was Electric Current Push and didn't need any Soul Spirit at all, so he didn't care much about the upgrades from the Spirit Ascension Platform and was single-mindedly focused on dueling the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!
However, for ordinary Soul Master, the spiritual energy concentration at the Spirit Ascension Platform is much higher than outside; entering it once is equivalent to cultivating outside for several days.
So it's perfectly normal for Gu Yue to want to go in one more time.
I was overthinking it.
Bai Yushan chuckled to himself.
It seems that Ye Yingluo left too much of a shadow on her; she sees everyone as a lovesick fool.
Gu Yue patted his flat chest and said earnestly.
"Trust me, I won't let you suffer."
Her expression was serious, and her eyes were firm.
Bai Yushan had doubts.
They even had to ask me for a spot on the Spirit Ascension Platform, saying they wouldn't let me suffer any loss.
Who would believe that?
Bai Yushan pursed his lips and remained silent.
Gu Yue could tell from his expression that he didn't believe her.
She wasn't angry; she simply took out a card from her pocket without changing her expression.
It was a black card with gold patterns inlaid on it, which looked very high-end.
"I am very rich."
Gu Yue said calmly, her tone carrying a hint of matter-of-fact.
Bai Yushan blinked, somewhat surprised.
He really hadn't realized that Gu Yue was actually a wealthy young woman.
"Then why did you come looking for me?"
Bai Yushan asked in confusion.
If you have the money, why don't you just buy the spot yourself? Why bother with him?
Gu Yue spoke with righteous indignation.
"Xie Xie's family is also very wealthy, so why don't you see him going to the Spirit Ascension Platform every day?"
Bai Yushan was even more puzzled.
Who is Xie Xie?
He had never heard of that name before.
Gu Yue rubbed his forehead, looking utterly defeated.
"That's the guy who got slapped away by you the moment he stepped onto the field."
She reminded him.
Bai Yushan thought for a moment, and it seemed like he vaguely remembered it.
I think there really was such a person when I was sparring with him yesterday.
He started off with some threats, then slapped himself away.
What was it called again?
His name seems to be Xie Xie.
Bai Yushan nodded, indicating that he remembered.
"Oh, it's him."
Gu Yue rolled her eyes.
So, everyone else spent ages trying to remember their names, but you didn't even remember them at all.
That's so hurtful.
However, she didn't say anything, but just looked at Bai Yushan, waiting for his reply.
Bai Yushan thought about it and felt there was no problem.
It's just bringing one more person.
Anyway, Gu Yue is quite strong and won't hold us back.
Moreover, she knew Na'er, so she was practically one of their own.
Bai Yushan nodded, then stood up.
"Let's go, I'll take you to Director Long, and then to the Spirit Ascension Platform."
At the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear seemed somewhat lost.
Since his birth, he had never seen such a stubborn and crazy human being.
As a bear, and as a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a strength of a thousand years, he possesses remarkable intelligence.
Of course, this intelligence is relative to other Soul Beast. Compared to humans, his brain is still not quite up to par.
But at least he can think, learn, and remember some things.
Throughout his life, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has always considered himself the most powerful predator in the forest.
And that is indeed the case.
Within this Primary Spirit Ascension Platform area belonging to Eastsea City, he is the undisputed overlord.
No Soul Beast dared to provoke him.
Even other Thousand-Year Soul Beast would give him a wide berth when they saw him.
That's why he always enjoyed playing cat and mouse games.
Of course, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had no idea what cat and mouse was.
He had never seen a cat, nor a mouse.
But he felt incredibly satisfied watching the fear on the faces of those human Soul Master as he easily slaughtered them.
The feeling was like eating the sweetest honey.
No, honey doesn't taste that good.
In short, it was really awesome.
Those human Soul Master who trespassed into his territory all thought they were very powerful.
They wielded all sorts of Martial Soul, shouted all sorts of slogans, and then charged forward to their deaths.
Each time, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could tear them to shreds with just a few claws.
Then, watching their expressions change from confidence to fear, he felt particularly happy.
There is no greater joy in a bear's life than this.
