Tao Muzhi's Desire

However, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear merely glanced at her and gave a listless snort.

A level 19 Soul Master is nothing to it.

Carrying its severed arm and dragging its heavy body, it slowly left the battlefield. Its back was desolate, carrying a sense of utter despair, as if it had already seen the end of its bear life.

It is waiting.

Waiting for my final battle.

Gu Yue stood there, watching the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's retreating figure, and blinked.

Speechless.

This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear... something feels off about it?

You won, so why act like you've lost the whole world?

And that Bai Yushan...

Gu Yue recalled the fierce battle just now, and felt a mix of emotions.

Gu Yue did not stay in the Spirit Ascension Platform for long.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear an extremely wide hunting range, and all the Soul Beast in the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda have undergone a major purge. Those with weaker strength were either easily killed by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear or frightened by its ferocity and hid in the deepest part of the tower.

The Soul Beast that managed to survive in the inner forest of the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform were all incredibly skilled.

Under these circumstances, Gu Yue, One-Ring Soul Master with only Control System first ring, naturally did not last long.

It wasn't that she couldn't defeat those Hundred-Year Soul Beast, but rather that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's influence was too great.

The distribution of Soul Beast around the entire Spirit Ascension Platform was completely chaotic, and the originally clearly defined activity areas were stirred up into a mess. As she walked, she might bump into a Soul Beast that was hundreds of years old and leading a group of minions charging towards her.

Fighting is unsatisfying, and running away is frustrating.

Gu Yue simply gave up on continuing the hunt and voluntarily withdrew from the Spirit Ascension Platform.

A flash of white light appeared before Gu Yue's eyes, and she found herself lying in a metal coffin. The inner walls of the coffin were smooth and cool, emanating a faint metallic scent.

She sat up, stepped out of the metal coffin, and the first thing she saw was Bai Yushan, who was waiting for her listlessly beside her.

Bai Yushan sat in a chair, looked at Gu Yue who had just come out, and waved. "You're out so soon?"

Gu Yue didn't answer; she just stared at him as if he were a monster.

"Are you... are you really human?"

She couldn't help but ask.

A 6,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Even Soul King would give way to such a being.

Bai Yushan, an 18th-level, One-Ring Soul Master, went in and fought a fierce battle with someone, even severing one of their arms. Although he died in the end, his arrogant demeanor made it seem as if he were the victor.

Is this reasonable?

This is unreasonable!

Bai Yushan rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to Gu Yue's erratic remarks.

His mind was filled with the battle he had just fought, and he couldn't wait to go back and replay it.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack rhythm, its power generation method, and its weaknesses. Also, which of my moves I used well, where I made openings, and where I made mistakes in judgment.

These things all need to be organized properly.

As for Gu Yue's problem, Bai Yushan simply didn't want to bother with it.

What nonsense!

"Let's go, let's go. We can talk about this later."

Bai Yushan waved his hand and turned to walk out of the observation room. His mind was full of replaying the battle, and he had no time to waste arguing with Gu Yue about such useless things.

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

Couldn't this guy have waited for her a little while?

The two walked out of the observation room one after the other, but were stopped at the door.

"Bai Yushan, please wait a moment."

A middle-aged man's voice came from inside.

Bai Yushan stopped and looked up.

Several staff members dressed in Spirit Pagoda uniforms strode over and blocked the two's path. Their expressions were respectful, yet carried an undercurrent of authority that brooked no refusal.

Bai Yushan frowned.

What's going on?

The teacher who brought them along, who had been following behind, immediately stepped forward to try and negotiate. However, he was politely asked to step aside by two staff members, who said they needed his cooperation on other matters.

The teacher wanted to say something more, but was led away by the other party in a half-invitation, half-pushing manner.

Bai Yushan's brows furrowed even deeper.

This doesn't seem like a normal inquiry.

Just then, a middle-aged man walked over from the end of the corridor.

The man appeared to be in his forties, dressed in a grey Spirit Pagoda uniform with a golden tower-shaped badge pinned to his chest. He had a square face, a composed demeanor, and walked with a measured pace, yet exuded the air of someone in a superior position.

His gaze fell on Bai Yushan, and his eyes instantly lit up.

That look in his eyes was like that of a wolf that hadn't eaten for three days seeing a plump lamb.

Bai Yushan felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.

Who is this person?

The middle-aged man strode up to Bai Yushan, his face beaming with a warm smile.

"Hello, Bai Yushan."

He extended his hand proactively, his enthusiasm bordering on excessive.

"I am Tao Muzhi, the tower master of the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda branch. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Tao."

Bai Yushan was somewhat bewildered.

Who is the branch tower master of the Spirit Pagoda?

Such a high-ranking official?

He subconsciously reached out and shook hands with Tao Muzhi. The other's palm was broad and warm, and the grip was firm, carrying the appreciation and closeness of an elder towards a younger person.

Bai Yushan subtly withdrew his hand, a growing sense of vigilance creeping into his heart.

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.

"Master Tao, is there something you need?"

His tone was flat, with a hint of detachment.

Tao Muzhi completely disregarded Bai Yushan's vigilance and instead smiled even more brightly.

joke.

When the staff sent him the highlight video of Bai Yushan at the Spirit Ascension Platform, he initially thought it was some drunk employee looking for fun. An 18th-level One-Ring Soul Master fighting a thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? That's ridiculous.

When he clicked on it, he was stunned.

They're really fighting.

Moreover, the fight was back and forth.

Those highlight scenes made Tao Muzhi 'Tao Muzhi blood boil, and he almost jumped out of his chair.

genius.

A peerless genius.

No, this can't be described as genius anymore. This is simply a monster.

How could such a monster appear in Eastsea City?

Tao Muzhi couldn't sit still any longer and immediately ordered someone to check Bai Yushan's information. The result was that the kid was a student of the Eastsea Academy and had been brought over by that guy Long Hengxu.

That old fox, Yu Zhen, he's really good at hiding his true intentions.

Such a promising talent, and they've been keeping it a secret from him all this time.

Tao Muzhi had long wanted to make contact with Bai Yushan, but Long Hengxu had always been wary of him and always found various reasons to stop him. Today, Long Hengxu was busy and didn't come, only sending a teacher to accompany him. How could Tao Muzhi let this opportunity pass?

He had someone send the teacher away and then came over himself to confront the teacher.

Such a promising talent must be brought into the Spirit Pagoda!
