The next day, in Class Zero, Wu Zhangkong walked into the classroom and said, "Follow me."
The seven students immediately stood up and followed Wu Zhangkong, leaving the classroom and heading towards the Donghai Spirit Pagoda.
In the East Sea Spiritual Pagoda, Long Hengxu, the director of the intermediate department, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Wu Changkong and the students of Class Zero, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Teacher Wu."
"Director Long." Wu Zhangkong responded expressionlessly.
Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan were already very familiar with the East China Sea Spirit Pagoda, so they did not find anything new. The others, on the other hand, looked around with curiosity at the East China Sea Pillar, one of the eighteen pillars of the Spirit Pagoda.
They followed Long Hengxu and Wu Changkong to a primary spirit-raising platform control room underground. This control room was not the same one that Jing Shaoyu had often visited before. Relatively speaking, this one was slightly larger.
As per usual practice, the staff first explained the precautions of the Spirit Ascension Platform to everyone before allowing everyone to enter the landing cabin.
Jing Shaoyu lay down in the landing capsule with a calm expression. He had experienced this step too many times, so he did not feel any discomfort or strangeness at all.
A moment later, Jing Shaoyu appeared in a forest. Without any hesitation, he released his martial soul and summoned Hong Fei. At the same time, a green light flashed in his eyes. He immediately identified a direction and started moving forward.
On the other side, after Xu Xiaoyan stood firmly, she skillfully summoned her martial soul and soul spirit. She let the soul spirit explore the way in front while she held the Star Wheel Ice Staff and followed carefully behind.
Her face was full of vigilance and worry. Although she had entered the Soul Ascension Platform so many times, she still didn't dare to act alone. She could only pray and find Jing Shaoyu as soon as possible.
After Gu Yue entered the Spirit Ascension Platform, she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar forest around her. A trace of resentment flashed in the depths of her eyes, and then she wandered in the forest expressionlessly. Her actions made Long Hengxu and Wu Changkong, who were watching the surveillance footage outside, a little confused.
"Is she taking a walk?" Long Hengxu asked uncertainly.
"Yeah." Wu Zhangkong nodded silently, and he had a better understanding of Gu Yue's character.
As soon as Zhang Yangzi appeared, he was shocked by the surrounding environment. He looked very surprised. Is this a forest? Such a strong breath of life. No wonder the squad leader can upgrade his spirit ring to a thousand years. For him, such an environment is simply a place chosen by heaven.
Thinking of this, he immediately released his martial soul, summoned his spirit, and prepared to fight at any time.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yangzi made a decision that he regretted. He decided to fly up to the sky and use the height to explore the situation in this area. The black wings behind him flapped, driving his body to the top of a big tree. He landed on a branch at the top of the tree, stretched his head, and looked around.
"Cry—"
Suddenly, a sharp and clear eagle cry was heard from a distance, followed by a large green bird flying towards him from a distance. The bird folded its wings, took a hunting posture, and swooped towards him.
Zhang Yangzi naturally did not want to be outdone. The second soul ring behind him immediately lit up, and his second soul skill was immediately activated. He confronted the giant blue bird head-on, neither of them giving in.
However, tragically, the big blue bird belonged to a group, but Zhang Yangzi was alone. He didn't even have time to react. He just felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he heard an unpleasant voice echoing in his ears.
"Get up!"
Zhang Yangzi sat up in a daze, only to find that he had left the Spirit Ascension Platform and returned to reality. After he learned what had happened from Long Hengxu, he immediately regretted it.
Wang Jinxi, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin were lucky enough to land in the same area, less than a hundred meters away from each other. When Tang Wulin landed and started to practice cross-legged, Wang Jinxi and Xie Xie had already met him, so the two of them walked together and headed towards where Tang Wulin was.
After a while, they saw Tang Wulin sitting cross-legged on the grass and practicing. The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing whether to say that Tang Wulin was careless or ignorant of his own life.
He dared to practice alone in the forest where soul beasts roamed, even if he was in the Spirit Ascension Platform. This was definitely like looking for death!
The two of them then woke Tang Wulin up.
"Wu Lin, you are too careless!" Xie Xie said speechlessly, "Others who enter the Soul Ascension Platform look for soul beasts first, but you practice first! What? Are you going to use yourself as bait?"
"No," Tang Wulin shook his head and explained, "I just suddenly had some insights. Don't you think the environment of this Soul Ascension Platform is very good?"
"Of course!" Wang Jinxi said, "It is said that the forest in this Shenglingtai is the same as the legendary Stardou Great Forest!"
"Is it true?" Tang Wulin asked curiously.
"Hehe, I don't know either." Wang Jinxi scratched his head and smiled.
"Come on, let's go first." Xie Xie rolled his eyes and said, "It's not easy to get in here once, we can't come back empty handed!"
"Yeah!" Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi nodded in agreement, "That's right!"
So the three of them set out together.
"Chirp!"
Our gaze returned to Jing Shaoyu. After he killed a hundred-year-old purple spirit wolf, Hong Fei flew back from a distance. While devouring the purple spirit wolf's spiritual power, it chirped and reported to Jing Shaoyu what it had discovered.
"You said you saw Bai Xue? Where is she?" Jing Shaoyu asked. Bai Xue is the soul of Xu Xiaoyan. If it is nearby, then Xu Xiaoyan should be nearby as well. They can't be too far away.
"Chirp~" Hong Fei called out, then flew in one direction, and Jing Shaoyu immediately followed.
Soon, he found Xu Xiaoyan, who was squatting on the ground, shivering and holding the Star Wheel Ice Staff under a big tree. Not far away, there was a black snake more than ten meters long, spitting out scarlet tongue and moving slowly.
"A hundred-year-old black snake?!" Jing Shaoyu was stunned, and then showed a helpless expression. This little girl was a little too timid, wasn't she scared by a mere hundred-year-old black snake?
He walked forward quickly, and with a thought, dozens of straight vine branches fell from the sky, trapping the black snake firmly in a circular cage with a diameter of less than one meter. Then he shouted, "Xiaoyan, stop being dazed, and quickly control the black snake!"
"Ah~" Xu Xiaoyan cheered in surprise, immediately stood up and was about to run towards Jing Shaoyu, but then he thought of Jing Shaoyu's words, so he plucked up his courage, turned around and looked at the location of the black snake, raised his hand, and a wheel of ice flew over.
The hundred-year-old black snake had just climbed onto a branch by instinct, but it was hit head-on by the ice wheel shot by Xu Xiaoyan. In an instant, both the snake and the branch were frozen, and then it was greeted by a scorching fireball.
"Brother Xiaoyu, that's great!" Xu Xiaoyan ran to Jing Shaoyu and hugged his arm at once, her face full of fear, and she said weakly, "I hate this kind of long and slippery thing the most. If you hadn't come, I would have been ready to get away directly."
"You!" Jing Shaoyu poked Xu Xiaoyan's head helplessly and said, "You are a great soul master after all, why are you still afraid of snakes?"
"I'm a girl. Isn't it normal for girls to be afraid of snakes?" The girl answered as a matter of course.
What else could Jing Shaoyu say? He could only smile helplessly and then took Xu Xiaoyan forward.
At this time, Gu Yue was still strolling in the forest.
After Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Wang Jinxi easily defeated three or four soul beasts, they encountered a very terrifying soul beast, a thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider!
Almost at the first sight, Xie Xie was sent off the soul-raising platform by the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider, leaving a deep psychological trauma on Xie Xie.
The remaining Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi did not dare to relax their vigilance at all. They stared at the thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.
Tang Wulin has already activated the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, and his right arm has turned into a golden dragon claw. Wang Jinxi is also possessed by the same martial spirit, and one of his arms has turned into a thick and strong bone dragon claw.
Fighting side by side with Tang Wulin for the first time, Wang Jinxi experienced the blood bonus from the Golden Dragon King's aura for the first time. He felt that his martial soul was cheering and leaping for joy. His own strength was greatly enhanced.
Even black dragon scales appeared on his bone dragon claws. This made Wang Jinxi feel very novel and confused at the same time.
Why? Why could Tang Wulin's aura cause such a huge change in his martial soul?
"Jin Xi, be careful!"
When Wang Jinxi was thinking, he suddenly heard Tang Wulin's anxious cry. He looked up subconsciously, and saw a charming pale woman's face appear in front of him. Then a very fishy smell rushed into his nose. Then, he felt numb all over, his eyes closed, and he lost consciousness.
"Ahhh!" Tang Wulin was extremely angry. Seeing his two companions die tragically had made him lose his mind. He rushed towards the Millennium Human-Faced Demon Spider, using all his strength, and slammed his Golden Dragon Claw on the spider's back fiercely.
The human-faced demon spider let out a shrill wail, and then its body trembled violently. A bunch of sticky white spider silk gushed out, instantly sending Tang Wulin flying, and he slammed heavily into a big tree, and then suddenly pounced towards Tang Wulin.
At the critical moment, Tang Wulin disappeared in an instant.
It turned out that outside staff forced him to withdraw in time.
