Three days passed in a flash, and the members of Class Zero gathered in the classroom, then followed Wu Changkong to the Spirit Pagoda.
On this day, the Donghai Spirit Pagoda was unusually lively. Many soul masters came here for today's riot period spirit ascension platform. Almost everyone's face was filled with nervousness, anticipation, excitement, and other various emotions.
"Remember, the Soul Ascension Platform during the riot period is when the most people enter at the same time. Inside, everyone except you is an enemy. There is only one thing you have to do, and that is to survive!" Wu Changkong said, "Those who fail the final exam will be punished."
"Teacher Wu, what's the punishment?" Xie Xie asked, raising his hand.
"Cancel the vacation." Wu Zhangkong said coldly.
When everyone heard this, their expressions immediately became solemn. This punishment was too severe. For the sake of the vacation, this time, they had to stay in the Spirit Ascension Platform for a full hour!
The teachers and students of Class Zero came to the control room specially prepared for them in the East China Sea Spirit Tower, and all seven students entered the landing capsule.
Their consciousness was briefly blurred, and when they regained consciousness, they found themselves in a vast and lush forest. The fresh air, the lush green plants, everything was no different from usual. However, Jing Shaoyu keenly sensed that there was a hint of an unknown substance in the energy in the air.
"Form a formation!" Jing Shaoyu shouted in a deep voice.
The students of Class Zero immediately took action. Wang Jinxi from the strong attack department stood at the front. Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi from the agile attack department were on both sides of the team.
Xu Xiaoyan from the control department and Gu Yue from the long-range strong attack department were in the center. Jing Shaoyu was behind the two girls. Finally, Tang Wulin, who was nominally a control department but a strong attack department, came up the rear, forming a standard diamond formation.
Everyone released their martial spirits, and a green light flashed, covering everyone. This was Gu Yue's control of the wind element, which could reduce their body weight and thus increase their speed. Although the effect was limited, it was better than nothing.
Jing Shaoyu and Zhang Yangzi summoned their souls, respectively. Hong Fei and Zhang Yangzi's soul, Little Black Eagle, were both flying souls, which were very suitable for reconnaissance and exploration in such a dense jungle environment.
"Everyone, our primary goal is to survive for an hour and complete the final exam, and then hunt soul beasts. So we should try to be as steady as possible and everyone be careful." Jing Shaoyu said.
"Yes!" the others answered in unison.
So, the team of seven began to move forward. According to the feedback from Hong Fei and Little Black Eagle, there were no signs of soul beasts behind them or on both sides. As for the front, traces of soul beasts were discovered.
A huge ape with a strong physique jumped out. It was a hundred-year-old iron-armed ape.
Jing Shaoyu and his seven companions naturally did not tolerate the first soul beast that rushed out to seek death. Wang Jinxi was closest to the iron-armed ape, and rushed to it in one step. Then, he raised his thick, bone dragon claw and slapped the iron-armed ape.
At the same time, Xie Xie also shot out in a flash, the light dragon dagger in his hand flashing with cold light. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the Iron Arm Ape and stabbed at the back of the Iron Arm Ape's head.
The Iron-Armed Ape raised its pair of iron arms and collided with Wang Jinxi's bone dragon claws. After a loud bang, the Iron-Armed Ape's body immediately retreated a few steps, and then a trace of pain appeared on its majestic face.
When it collided head-on with Wang Jinxi, the weak part of the back of its head was completely exposed to Xie Xie's eyes. Xie Xie succeeded in one strike, and the Light Dragon Dagger steadily pierced its head.
This hundred-year-old iron-armed ape died in the joint attack of Wang Jinxi and Xie Xie, and it took no more than thirty seconds.
"Okay, let's continue!" After Xie Xie had absorbed the spiritual power of the Iron-Armed Ape and Wang Jinxi had finished regulating his breathing, Jing Shaoyu gave the order to set off.
After continuing their journey, the team of seven encountered several soul beasts one after another. All of them were hundred-year-old soul beasts. The highest one had a cultivation base of seven hundred years, and the lowest had only a hundred years.
Half of the time had passed quickly, and as long as they could hold on a little longer, they would be able to complete the requirements of the final examination.
Right now, they were in very good condition, and the few soul beasts they encountered did not cause them much trouble.
"Someone is coming!" Zhang Yangzi on the tree suddenly reminded, "Two men and two women are walking towards us, they are about twelve or thirteen years old, and they look like seniors from our Donghai College."
"Yangzi, how do you know they are students from our Donghai College?" Wang Jinxi was puzzled and asked, "Are they all wearing our college uniforms?"
"Not really." Zhang Yangzi shook his head and said, "I just happened to know one of the girls."
As he spoke, Zhang Yangzi suddenly revealed a teasing look towards Tang Wulin, who was regulating his breathing. Tang Wulin was stunned by Zhang Yangzi's sudden gaze and revealed a puzzled expression.
"Yangzi, why are you looking at me?" he asked.
"Oh!" Xie Xie suddenly shouted, revealing a playful expression, and said, "Could it be that Senior Sister Ouyang Zixin?"
Upon hearing the name, Tang Wulin's face immediately turned red, causing Zhang Yangzi and Xie Xie to smile happily.
While a few people were joking, the four people who were discovered by Zhang Yangzi also discovered Zhang Yangzi on the tree, and immediately walked quickly towards this side, and then the two sides met.
The other party was indeed students from Donghai College, and the two girls were Ouyang Zixin and Mu Xi.
"Shao Yu, Xiao Yan, what a coincidence!" Ouyang Zi Xin showed a surprised expression and put down the sword in her hand. That was her martial soul, the Xuan Kong Sword.
"Sister Zi Xin." Jing Shaoyu replied politely.
"Sister Zi Xin!" Xu Xiaoyan called out in a tender voice.
"It's you?!" Tang Wulin was looking at Ouyang Zixin awkwardly, hesitating whether to greet her, when he suddenly heard a delicate cry in his ears. He turned around and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
"Senior Sister," he shouted.
"Yeah!" Mu Xi's attitude towards Tang Wulin was still relatively cold. She nodded slightly and then shouted to Ouyang Zixin, "Zixin, let's go!"
After saying that, she strode away in one direction with her two companions.
Seeing this, Ouyang Zixin had no choice but to say goodbye to Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan, saying, "Xiaoyan, Shaoyu, I'll treat you to dinner during the holiday. I'm leaving first!"
She immediately chased in the direction where Mu Xi had left. Before leaving, she did not forget to wave to Tang Wulin as a greeting. It was such a simple action, but it made Tang Wulin, a boy who was just beginning to fall in love, suddenly burst into a silly smile.
"Senior sister?" Zhang Yangzi looked at Tang Wulin curiously and asked, "Wulin, is the senior sister who was with Senior Sister Ouyang Zixin just now your senior sister? What's going on?"
Tang Wulin put away the infatuation on his face, smiled bitterly, and said, "She is my teacher's daughter. However, she doesn't seem to like me very much, so we don't interact very often."
"Hmm!" Wang Jinxi nodded thoughtfully and said, "I can see that."
"By the way, class monitor, Xiaoyan, do you know senior sister Ouyang Zixin?" Zhang Yangzi looked at Jing Shaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan again, his curious heart burning, and asked.
"Just ordinary friends." Jing Shaoyu said with a smile.
"My family and Sister Zi Xin's family are old friends, so I have known her since I was very young." Xu Xiaoyan answered thoughtfully, "By the way, Sister Zi Xin and my brother have a very good relationship, and my family is considering getting them engaged."
Tang Wulin was struck by lightning. His previously cheerful expression immediately dimmed, and he stared at Xu Xiaoyan in a daze.
"Is it true?" Zhang Yangzi was very surprised. Then, like Wang Jinxi and Xie Xie, they all cast a sympathetic look at Tang Wulin. Poor child, his first love hasn't even started yet. Is it going to die?
"Wulin, don't think too much!" Xu Xiaoyan also noticed Tang Wulin's expression and immediately waved his hand at him, saying, "I just heard what the servants at home said when they were chatting. It may not be true. Besides, my brother doesn't seem to like Sister Zi Xin, so you still have a chance!"
"Oh!" Tang Wulin's gloomy face finally revealed a smile, but the bitterness contained in that smile could only be understood by those who had experienced it.
"Okay, stop thinking about it. You're so outstanding, are you still worried about not being able to find a girlfriend in the future?" Jing Shaoyu patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder, then said to the others, "Let's get ready to move on!"
"Yes! Thank you, Shaoyu." Tang Wulin said, trying to cheer himself up.
So, they reorganized their formation and continued to move forward in the predetermined direction.
