"Junior brother Jing, it seems that we are destined to meet."
Just as Jing Shaoyu was immersed in the fresh environment of the primitive jungle, a familiar voice came to his ears.
Jing Shaoyu looked and saw a boy holding a golden sickle and a mini lion squatting on his shoulder, walking towards him with a smile.
"Senior Zhu." Jing Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately greeted him with a smile.
The boy was Zhu Ziguang, who had the highest soul power among the seven students.
"This is your first time entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, so just follow me. I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here and what we need to do." Zhu Ziguang said kindly.
"No problem, then I'll trouble you, Senior Zhu." Jing Shaoyu did not refuse and agreed with a smile.
"Well, you can just call me A Guang," Zhu Ziguang said with a smile. "Is it okay if I call you Shao Yu?"
"Of course." Jing Shaoyu said.
"Well, let's get going." Zhu Ziguang smiled with satisfaction and said, "In the Spirit Ascension Platform, our most important task is to hone our combat skills and collect as much spiritual power as possible. A Shi, go ahead and explore the way."
The latter sentence was addressed to his soul. The little lion squatting on his shoulder immediately jumped out. Seeing this, Jing Shaoyu immediately called out Hong Fei, "Hong Fei, you go too."
"Chirp~" Hong Fei flapped its wings, called out, and flew forward.
"Is this little bird your soul?" Zhu Ziguang looked at the flying Hong Fei with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He said, "It looks so lively, much more lively than my A shi."
"Maybe it's because Hong Fei is lively by nature." Jing Shaoyu smiled and said, "Master A Guang, your A Shi should be a Holy Light Lion, right?"
"That's right." Zhu Ziguang nodded proudly and said, "My A shi is a 300-year-old Holy Light Lion, but now it has been upgraded to 400 years old."
"Really? Then you are amazing!" Jing Shaoyu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He said.
"It's OK. It's mainly because I'm lucky." Zhu Ziguang scratched his head and smiled, "Oh, by the way, it seems that you know the rules of the Soul Ascension Platform to improve the soul?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't quite understand it," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile. "Master A Guang, please tell me in detail."
"Okay," Zhu Ziguang explained, "You should know that the Soul Ascension Platform simulates the ancient Star Forest, so there are many soul beasts in it. After we hunt these soul beasts, we can obtain one-tenth of their spiritual power. This spiritual power will be absorbed by our soul rings, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the age of the soul rings. Soul rings come from soul spirits, so the increase in the age of soul rings will feed back to the soul spirit, allowing the soul spirit's cultivation to improve together."
"Yes! I know all this." Jing Shaoyu nodded.
"Okay, take me as an example," Zhu Ziguang continued. "My A shi is currently at 400 years of cultivation, which is almost the limit of what I can bear. If I want to continue to improve my soul cultivation and soul ring age, then I can only wait until I break through the second ring. However, after the second ring, the spiritual power collected in the soul-raising platform will be divided equally into two soul rings. In other words, if I kill a hundred-year soul beast, then the ten years of spiritual power I get will be divided into five years each for my two soul rings.
If I want my Ashi to evolve into a Thousand-Year Soul, then I must first upgrade both of my soul rings to Thousand-Year Soul Rings so that Ashi can evolve into a Thousand-Year Soul. This means that on the surface, Ashi is only 600 years away from becoming a Thousand-Year Soul, but in reality, it will take 1,200 years!"
"I understand." Jing Shaoyu showed a look of understanding.
"What a pity, family members know their own business," Zhu Ziguang sighed and said, "I want Ah Shi to evolve into a thousand-year soul, but I'm afraid I have to wait until I become a soul master. By then, it will only be more troublesome!"
"Master A Guang, why do you think so little of yourself?" Jing Shaoyu heard this and comforted him, "You are only level 15 now; there is no need to conclude too early. Maybe you will encounter an adventure in the future."
"Haha, Shao Yu, thank you for your kind words. I also hope that I can encounter adventures in the future," Zhu Ziguang laughed and said, "For example, I can get a soul bone or something. Then my physical strength should be able to increase a little. Oh, I envy you beast spirit masters, whose physical strength is innately higher than our weapon spirit masters!"
"Hehe, actually it's okay!" Jing Shaoyu said with a smile.
"You kid!" Zhu Ziguang scolded with a smile.
After this exchange, the relationship between the two became much closer.
Hong Fei and A Shi ran back and reported the situation to their respective masters. Jing Shaoyu looked at Zhu Ziguang, who nodded affirmatively. "Let's go!"
So the two of them walked forward quickly, and about a hundred meters later, they saw the soul beast that the soul spirit had mentioned.
Wind Baboon!
Seeing this soul beast, Jing Shaoyu's expression instantly became interesting. Isn't this the Wind God Slayer Baboon? This terrifying existence that had almost killed a God alone- how could it become so lame after ten thousand years?
"Shao Yu, stand away. This is a ten-year-old wind baboon. I am enough on my own!" Zhu Ziguang shouted at Jing Shao Yu, then rushed forward with the long and big golden sickle.
"Ugh, I was underestimated!" Jing Shaoyu couldn't help but smile bitterly but did not follow Zhu Ziguang's advice. Instead, he took a step forward, stretched out his hands, palms down, and a faint green light flashed. In an instant, the grass on the ground grew rapidly and turned into thick vines. Following the movement of Jing Shaoyu's fingers, they snaked along the ground like snakes.
Plant control!
"Holy Light Slash!" At this time, Zhu Ziguang had already rushed to the front of the wind baboon. The soul ring behind him lit up, and the sickle in his hand was covered with golden light. He fell towards the body of the wind baboon.
Fear flashed in the wind baboon's eyes. He was about to retreat to avoid the attack but found that his legs could not move. He looked down and saw that vines that came from nowhere had already tied up his legs, tightly and unable to move at all.
The huge sickle blade fell, cutting off half of the wind baboon's body on the spot. His eyes suddenly lost their luster, and it seemed that he was about to die.
"Shao Yu, come and finish him off." Zhu Ziguang did not take the opportunity to kill the wind baboon but instead shouted at Jing Shao Yu.
"Ah, is this appropriate?" Jing Shaoyu was stunned and then said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't do anything?"
"There's nothing wrong with it." Zhu Ziguang waved his hand generously and said, "We are companions now, and you are a healing spirit master, so there's no need to worry about these things."
"Okay, thank you." Jing Shaoyu did not refuse. He walked to the dying wind baboon and raised his hand. A vine wrapped around its neck. As soon as his hand dropped, the vine tightened instantly and strangled the wind baboon's neck.
"Huh?" Zhu Ziguang finally reacted and asked in surprise, "Shao Yu, these plants are controlled by you! I was wondering why this wind baboon was so stupid that it could trap itself. I didn't expect it was your credit! Aren't you a healing spirit master? How can you control plants?"
"Hehe, this is the innate ability of my martial soul," Jing Shaoyu looked at the white soul ring floating out of Feng Baboon's body. This was exactly the spiritual power. Hong Fei swallowed it in one gulp, and then smiled and said to Zhu Ziguang, "My martial soul is called the Origin Spirit. I am born to be the master of the forest."
"So that's it!" Zhu Ziguang suddenly realized, and then said enviously, "This is the top-level martial soul with full innate soul power. It's awesome!"
"Let's keep going," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile, "I'll be in charge of the control, and Master A Guang, you'll be in charge of the attack, how do you think?"
"No problem," Zhu Ziguang said with bright eyes, "To be honest, my martial soul is good in every way except that it's not very flexible. But don't worry, as long as you can control it, I won't have any problem!"
So, the two of them worked together and moved forward.
At the same time, in another part of the forest, Xu Xiaoyan was huddled in a bush holding her martial spirit Star Wheel Ice Staff, her face pale, her little face full of fear and terror.
Not far from her, there was a group of black wolves with green light in their eyes. These ferocious black wolves kept circling around Xu Xiaoyan, making creepy howls from time to time. They bared their fangs, waiting to tear apart any prey.
Xu Xiaoyan was also unlucky enough. She fell into a wolf pack as soon as she appeared. If she hadn't reacted quickly and randomly fixed a wolf and took the opportunity to run out, she would probably have ended her journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform by now.
But even so, she was still targeted by the black wolves. Now she could only hide in the bushes, hoping that the black wolves could not find her. However, the wolves had very sensitive noses, and it was only a matter of time before she was found.
Xu Xiaoyan felt a little desperate.
"Brother Xiaoyu, come and save me!"
