Chapitre 37: Spirit Pagoda's Reaction
The Spirit Pagoda staff member stared at the screen dumbstruck. He was completely speechless.
Just how perfect were their tactics!? That was actually a hundred-year Man-Faced Demon Spider that even four or five ring Soul Masters would avoid! They wouldn't even dare to engage it without thorough planning. Yet, these two kids, who have three rings and one ring, actually performed a miracle and defeated the Man-Faced Demon Spider! This is unbelievable!
Even Wu Zhangkong was a bit shaken by this. A smile had actually appeared on his ice-cold face.
"They meet the requirements to be called monsters and join that place.." he quietly muttered under his breath.
This battle had tested not only the limits of their strength but also the breadth of their knowledge. During their battle, Wu Zhangkong took note of every single detail with his experienced eyes. Even if the students were baffled, Wu Zhangkong observed the events with clarity. It wasn't until Gu Yue had enhanced Gloxinia's attack that he had become surprised.
"Teacher Wu, are these children thinking about joining the Spirit Pagoda? If I send a recording of this battle to the higher-ups, I think an exception can be made to accept these children as members. Their potential is simply astonishing."
The Spirit Pagoda staff member finally snapped out of his daze, but his eyes were still filled with shock and admiration.
As a staff member of the Spirit Pagoda, he had a comprehensive knowledge of various soul beasts as well as Soul Master battle styles. Yet, after witnessing the unconstrained battle style of Gloxinia and Gu Yue, every single inch of his body was in awe.
He could only describe the battle as 'shocking.'
To prevail over the Man-Faced Demon Spider, the first thing the students needed was a deep understanding of it.
At first, he assumed the children to be foolishly standing still, letting the Man-Faced Demon Spider weave its webs and continuously tighten it around them. After their remarkable performances in their previous battles, it came as a disappointment. He'd been anticipating just how these children would deal with a powerful soul beast such as the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
The staff member thought that the best course of action would have been to immediately flee. Although the Man-Faced Demon Spider was fast, it was lacking in long-range attacks; as long as they were ahead of it, they would have a chance at escaping. The second best choice, in his opinion, was for one of them to sacrifice themselves in order to allow the others to escape. This way, they would minimize their losses.
There was once a team of Soul Masters who similarly encountered the Man-Faced Demon Spider in the spirit ascension platform and had verified that these two choices were indeed the best.
Yet, the response Gloxinia initiated with Gu Yue today had widened the staff member's horizons.
The ability to work together as a duo to defeat a soul beast capable of taking down even five ringed soul masters hasn't been seen ever since the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, Huo Yuhao and his wife, Tang Wutong!
The two had fought it to a complete victory, with barely expanding any strength!
---------------------------------
After that small episode with the Man-Faced Demon Spider, Tang Wulin decided it would be best to stay in their current spot and isntead trap soul beasts who came to them using his Blue Silver Grass while the others would finish off the soul beasts.
In the beginning, there were only a few weak soul beasts that died, but gradually, the number and strength of soul beasts increased. More and more spirit energy drifted over to the four students.
-----------------------------
"This… how can this be? There must be some issue with the spirit ascension platform." The staff member stood there, dumbstruck as he watched the spirit energy surrounding the four coalesce and grow stronger and stronger. His expression was almost as if he had seen a ghost.
Could he say the four of them were cheating? Absolutely not! However, the amount of spirit energy the four would be able to absorb would only increase as time passed. This spirit energy didn't come from thin air either, its origin the Spirit Pagoda's greatest secret. Yet, it was being consumed rapidly right now.
If it were the normal Spirit Ascension Platform it would be fine as the energy there is a more diluted version of the origin. But, it was now in it's rebellion period! This meant the energy they were gaining was much more pure and higher quality than normal!
It could be said that the students of class zero had used their knowledge to the fullest this time!
"Teacher Wu, I'll definitely have to report this situation to the higher-ups," the staff member solemnly stated.
Wu Zhangkong merely glanced at him. "What rules have my students broken? They defeated the Man-Faced Demon Spider and now they're just meditating and recovering. Everything happened naturally. With my impression of the spirit ascension platform, you shouldn't have the power to change any of this either. The spirit ascension platform runs by itself; you can only provide maintenance, nothing more."
Beads of sweat dripped down the staff member's forehead. "Yes, the spirit ascension platform cannot be easily altered. But if this continues on, your students will also experience difficulties. Can their spiritual power and body bear the pain of their spirit soul evolving to higher than the thousand-level? Especially the two children with only one ring, their pain will be even greater. They will definitely be in danger if their spirit soul's level surpasses what they can handle."
That was right. In their current situation, their spirit souls were continuously undergoing small evolutions and eventually, their bodies would meet the limit of what they could support. Fortunately, they were still quite far from meeting their limits.
As for whether a one-ringed Soul Master could support the rebound of gaining a thousand-year spirit soul… there was not one bit of worry in Wu Zhangkong's heart. Tang Wulin's body was far stronger than an ordinary Soul Master and he was also at the Spirit Connection realm, so a thousand-year spirit soul would be no problem for him. He was even less worried about Gu Yue. She was on the boundary of reaching rank 20 and gaining a second soul ring while both her body and spiritual power were superb.
'These brats have really gone above and beyond this time for their final exam!'
Seeing Wu Zhangkong void of any sort of reaction, hesitation crept into the heart of the staff member. Still, he picked up the communicator and dialed a number. Anyway, the original reason why they existed was to ensure that the spirit ascension platform operated normally.
