This morning.
"Today, we're going to the Spirit Conduction Tower."
Wu Zhangkong's tone was concise. As his voice fell, everyone in Class Zero looked puzzled, not understanding the purpose of this trip.
Some looked at Gu Yue.
They thought it might be because Gu Yue had achieved a Breakthrough at Rank 30 and needed to obtain a soul spirit.
But she already had a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul? Her third spirit ring didn't need a new soul spirit.
Arthur, however, had known for a long time that this trip was for Martial Soul Ascension.
He used to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform often, but later found it too troublesome to go back and forth. For him, the improvement wasn't significant and it was a waste of time, so he preferred to focus all his efforts on Cultivating his Rank.
So, after raising his soul spirit to six thousand years, he stopped going. He planned to wait for a free moment in the future to go all out and push it directly to ten thousand years.
On the way there, Wu Zhangkong slowly explained, "From today onwards, you will have one opportunity per week to enter the Spirit Conduction Tower's Spirit Ascension Platform to Cultivate. These are slots the academy fought for, and they are the most precious resources for Class Zero. Be sure to cherish them."
"Spirit Ascension Platform?" Tang Wulin looked completely bewildered.
Gu Yue and Naer's expression was indifferent.
Xie Xie, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi, however, were shocked. Xie Xie exclaimed, "The academy actually has such a grand gesture! Joining Class Zero was definitely the right choice!"
"What is the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Seeing Tang Wulin's follow-up question, Xie Xie explained, "The Spirit Ascension Platform is a top-tier Cultivation site built by the Spirit Conduction Tower. There are only eighteen on the entire continent, requiring more than ten Titled Douluo and top researchers to build together. Originally, it was for researching how to improve the level of man-made soul spirits. Although the effect was limited, it was transformed into a precious training ground for Soul Masters."
He further explained, "It brings together the continent's top spirit tools and research efforts. After entering, a Soul Master feels as if they are in another dimension, where they can fight Spirit Beasts within a safe range to accumulate Actual Combat experience. With Luck, they can even increase the age of their soul spirit. However, the higher the soul spirit's Rank, the lower the chance of improvement."
Tang Wulin felt a surge of excitement.
His soul spirit was only ten years old, and it was already struggling to keep up with his Cultivation.
If it could be raised to a hundred years, both his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and Spirit Ability would become stronger, and he could also save a large amount of money on future soul spirit purchases.
"What are the requirements to enter?"
Xie Xie replied, "You need money and a slot. The Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform costs five hundred thousand federation coins per visit. That's actually the easiest part."
"What's even harder to get are the slots. The Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform only has a thousand slots per month, while there are over a million Soul Masters on the continent; slots are extremely scarce. The slots for Intermediate and Advanced Spirit Ascension Platforms are even fewer, and the cost is astronomical."
Tang Wulin didn't understand anything about'slots'. His mind was filled with that massive fee.
At the same time, he felt lucky to have joined Class Zero; otherwise, he wouldn't know when he'd ever have a chance to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform.
The East Sea City Spirit Conduction Tower is one of the eighteen pillars of the Spirit Conduction Tower.
This hundred-meter-tall, over four-hundred-meter-wide octagonal building has a broad base.
It narrows inward every ten floors until it reaches the pointed spire at the top. Even among the skyscrapers of East Sea City, it is an extremely eye-catching landmark.
When they arrived, the academy's Director of Instruction, Long Hengxu, was already waiting at the door and led them into the Spirit Conduction Tower.
At this moment, Arthur stepped forward and introduced the place to them as they walked.
Passing through the first floor, a scene of magnificence met their eyes.
The dark gold stone floor had natural patterns, and the dome, dozens of meters high, was supported by giant pillars. Both the pillars and the dome were covered in magnificent murals.
Under the strange looks from the others, Arthur slowly explained, "The murals record the first Master of the Spirit Conduction Tower, who was also the inventor of the soul spirit, the Ice Spirit Douluo, Huo Yuhao. And the stories of his battles against the Spirit Beast tides. The murals of the eighteen branch towers connect into a complete narrative, while the murals at the headquarters record his final battle with the Beast God Di Tian. After the battle, both disappeared. Rumor has it that after Huo Yuhao won, he became a god and went to the God Realm."
Mentioning Huo Yuhao, Arthur felt a bit of pity. Such a great Child of Luck, with a bright future ahead...
...yet he had to run into Tang San.
He was trained like a dog.
Tragic.
In Arthur's view, even if Huo Yuhao hadn't gone crazy later, he was pretty close to it.
Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er were actually already dead.
Tang Wutong was just a stranger.
Huo Yuhao could actually like her as if she were Wang Dong'er.
Either... he was crazy, or he had no other choice.
Actually, Arthur could understand. If that Divine Being Tang San did that to him, he wouldn't have any choice either.
Fortunately, he had transmigrated to this era.
Although the God Realm no longer exists and it's hard to become a god, at least there's no Tang San! Only a bit of Divine Sense remains.
Otherwise, if the Tang San in the God Realm discovered Arthur's uniqueness, he would probably change Tang Wulin's gender and stuff him into Arthur's dormitory.
Then slowly train him like a dog.
What could Arthur do? He'd have no choice either.
Tang Wulin gazed at the murals. In the sky above the city before the beast tide, Huo Yuhao was surrounded by people, his spirit rings shining brilliantly.
Beside him, the Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong had brilliant butterfly wings on her back and an exquisite face.
Arthur's voice sounded a bit awkward as he introduced, "She is... Huo Yuhao's wife. They have an incredibly strong Spirit Fusion Skill."
This reminded Arthur.
If Tang San were still around, he would definitely modify Tang Wulin and have him perform a Spirit Fusion Skill with Arthur.
The move of Martial Soul Fusion is just too clever.
Comparable to Zhongli faking his death.
Afterwards, Arthur continued introducing the place all along the way.
Tang Wulin asked curiously, "Arthur, you seem very familiar with this place."
Xie Xie chimed in, joking, "Yeah, it's as if we are guests going to Arthur's house and he's playing the host."
"Pretty much. This really counts as my home."
As soon as these words were spoken, the air went silent.
"You're... joking, right?" Xie Xie and the others froze.
"The Master of the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda is my uncle." Arthur looked indifferent on the surface, but he was secretly enjoying himself. Why else would he start introducing everything as soon as they walked in?
Xie Xie, good question!
"Didn't I tell you guys?"
You didn't say a damn thing!
Xie Xie and the others were speechless, and at the same time shocked. They knew Arthur had a powerful background, but they didn't expect it to be this powerful.
The Master of the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda is a Titled Douluo.
In East Sea City's Spirit Master's world, who doesn't know the Dragon Sparrow Douluo?
He is the sky of East Sea City.
"Alright, let's go." Long Hengxu's voice woke everyone up. If he hadn't been warned by the principal, he would also be too shocked to speak right now.
Arthur's background in East Sea City was just too massive.
Wu Zhangkong reminded them in a deep voice, "Focus your minds. Once you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, you can only rely on yourselves."
Tang Wulin was stunned, "Teacher, you're not coming in with us?"
Wu Zhangkong explained, "The Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform is restricted to Soul Masters below four rings."
On the other side, Long Hengxu added, "We will be watching from the outside. If you encounter danger, remember to quickly trigger the signal to evacuate."
Everyone entered the elevator. The elevator didn't go up but continued to descend. The slight feeling of weightlessness made them realize they were going deep underground. This scale of engineering fully displayed the Spirit Conduction Tower's immense strength.
Three minutes later, the elevator stopped. Stepping out, they were in a spacious hall where over ten staff members were stationed, with several metal corridors extending behind them.
Long Hengxu didn't even need to show his pass. When the staff saw Arthur, they bowed slightly and immediately led the way into one of the corridors.
Before long, they entered a room. Huge screens hung on the walls, displaying images of a green jungle.
