Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 34 Ascension Platform

The classroom became quiet again. Wu Zhangkong reappeared in front of Lin Xingyu and watched him fall into deep thought.

In the situation of the same level, although he did not use his martial soul, he used his physical strength, mental power, and even concentrated his own soul power on one point, so that he could knock Lin Xingyu to the ground with just the last blow.

Lin Xingyu's soul power, mental strength, physical strength, martial soul strength, and soul skills are all top-notch, and are rare among Shrek. It's just that his combat experience is a little lacking. If he had some combat experience, I don't know how long it would take for him to win.

Wu Zhangkong said to Lin Xingyu, "Your foundation is very good, truly terrifying, but your combat skills are a little lacking. No! I shouldn't say you're lacking, I should say you don't have any combat skills at all."

Lin Xingyu sighed silently, not having any combat skills. He couldn't be blamed for not having any combat skills! In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. He only lived to the age of twelve before dying suddenly midway through. He only mastered the early stages of martial arts training and didn't learn any of the various martial arts. Mastering a martial art took a lot of time, and for him at the time, it was far less practical than improving his martial arts skills.

There wasn't much improvement in the Self-cultivation Realm, but starting with the blood transfusion, each of the ten blood transfusions would double one's strength! In my case, after ten blood transfusions, the strength of one hand was 640,000 kilograms! 1.28 million kilograms! This was without the power of one's own Qi and blood, purely physical strength. With the power of Qi and blood, it was even more terrifying!
Furthermore, in the later stages of blood transfusion, all kinds of supernatural powers will emerge naturally, the will of martial arts will be achieved, and when the ninth transformation of the golden body is reached, it will be completely inhuman!

He had been practicing since he was six years old when he arrived on Douluo Continent. Meditation, martial arts, forging, mecha design, manufacturing, and maintenance, and theoretical knowledge had completely filled his time. How could he have the time to practice combat skills? It could be said that since he was a child, he had only fought once in the arena a few days ago.

After seeing Wu Changkong's so-called "basic combat skills", Lin Xingyu and the other six were dragged into battle with Wu Changkong.

It shouldn't be called a battle, it should be called a one-sided beating.

In class, Wu Changkong used actual combat to teach students practical skills and emphasized the key points that needed attention.

In Wu Changkong's words, fighting is the best teacher, and fighting can help them accumulate the most experience at the fastest speed.

Just like how Lin Xingyu and Gu Yue teamed up to challenge Wu Zhangkong, Class One Zero was split into various groups by Wu Zhangkong, sometimes two people, sometimes three people, and sometimes everyone attacked together. Wu Zhangkong did not hold back at all, so he went a little easy on Gu Yue.

Lin Xingyu was knocked to the ground again and again, enduring attacks from Wu Changkong again and again, and correcting his fighting habits again and again.

His only consolation was that his martial spirit, a full-body armor, was incredibly strong, and with its added strength, it possessed a formidable defense. Furthermore, the meridians that pierced his entire body gave him immense resistance to any physical energy attack. Wu Changkong's whip, though separated from his martial spirit, only caused a slight numbness. He let out a scream, then circulated his Qi and blood, instantly returning to full strength.

Later, because the performance was too fake, Wu Zhangkong saw through it and directly pulled him out for a one-on-one duel without using any martial spirits...

Afterwards, Wu Zhangkong determined Lin Xingyu's defense limit and increased his strength, causing him to scream...

The shrill screams echoed in Grade 1 Class Zero every day...

The school's commitment to nurturing the "zero class" is no empty rhetoric, but a substantial investment. The teaching model is meticulously crafted, the ingredients are nutritious, the faculty is elite, and the facilities are top-notch. This is undeniably top-tier among similar mid-level colleges.

……

A dozen days later, when Lin Xingyu heard Wu Zhangkong's expressionless announcement of going to the Spirit Pagoda, he finally came to his senses. Time had flown by so quickly without him noticing.

Lin Xingyu was thrilled to hear the news. It had finally arrived. The school had been very swift, securing a spot on the Spirit Ascension Platform in just over ten days. The entry level to the Spirit Ascension Platform cost 500,000 Federation Coins, but it was largely monopolized by large families and powerful organizations. Getting one yourself would require considerable connections. That would cost far more than 500,000 Federation Coins.

Wu Zhangkong walked ahead after he finished speaking.

Xie Xie explained the origin and purpose of the Spirit Ascension Platform to Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, who did not know its function.

To put it simply, it is a small world that is half real and half virtual, where killing soul beasts can increase the age of the soul and upgrade the soul ring.

After saying this, Xie Xie sighed and said, "When I joined Class Zero, I thought the academy's requirements weren't too demanding, and that all the resources were spent on myself, so it wouldn't be a waste in any way. I didn't expect the school to be so determined and actually get us a spot on the Spirit Ascension Platform. If Wei Xiaofeng knew about this, he'd probably regret it, right?"

After listening to Xie Xie's explanation, Tang Wulin's heart was already flying to the Soul Ascension Platform. Among the six people in Class Zero, he was the only one with a ten-year soul.

Zhang Yangzi was about to clash with Xie Xie after hearing what he said, but was stopped by Wang Jinxi. Seeing this, Lin Xingyu was slightly startled, then he remembered that Wang Jinxi had chosen to practice with Tang Wulin, but he didn't know when this happened.

When things happen in the future, no one knows what Wang Jinxi will choose: stay in Class Zero or leave with Zhang Yangzi.

Although Lin Xingyu felt that Wang Jinxi would most likely leave with Zhang Yangzi, and then only he and Tang Wulin would be left in Class 1-0, Lin Xingyu felt a little melancholy for a moment.

……

Although Donghai City's technological development is not ranked high in the Federation, its unique advantage as a seaport and the fact that one of the 18 branch towers of the Spirit Pagoda is located here have made Donghai City prosperous.

The Spirit Transmission Tower in Donghai City is a landmark building here and is considered the most magnificent building in Donghai City.

Long Hengxu was already waiting here. When he saw Wu Zhangkong and the others get off the school bus, he went straight to greet them.

"Dance teacher."

"Director Long."

The two of them simply exchanged summons and didn't have any further conversation. Long Hengxu didn't care about this. After all, Wu Changkong was so strong. There was no one in the entire Donghai Academy who was better at fighting than him.

Long Hengxu led everyone directly into the messenger tower. They were greeted by exquisite murals.

Lin Xingyu, Tang Wulin, Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie were all attracted by the murals in the hall.

Lin Xingyu pondered what would happen if Huo Yuhao hadn't ascended immediately, but instead stayed on Douluo Continent for a while. Could the drawbacks of the Soul Contract have been resolved? Let alone creating a blood pact like the one on the neighboring Holy Demon Continent, even if the drawbacks of the Soul Contract had been mitigated, granting souls some freedom of authority, or creating a home for them where they could freely choose their soul masters, what would Douluo Continent be like today? Would humans and soul beasts coexist harmoniously? Or would the human-dominated hierarchy become even more rigid?

What is this? A Pokémon spirit? Thinking about it, Lin Xingyu laughed himself to death.

Gu Yue suddenly said, "Don't you think Tang Wulin and Tang Wutong look alike? From their names to their eyes?"

Xie Xie said, "They're similar in that respect. Even their eye colors are different. As for the names, there are many people on Douluo Continent who name their children after their ancestors."

Lin Xingyu glanced at Gu Yue after hearing this. "Did you realize something?" "And don't you care about Huo Yuhao?" "He ascended directly with the Star Dou Luck!" "At least reflect on it, right?" He kept it completely to himself, not letting it show.

"Let's go!" Long Hengxu said, "There will be plenty of opportunities to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform after we discuss it. Once you get in, you'll have to rely on yourselves."

Wu Zhangkong continued, "The primary soul raising platform has restrictions on the soul masters' cultivation level. Only soul masters with a cultivation level below the fourth ring are allowed to enter."

Long Hengxu said: "We will be watching your situation outside, and there will generally be no problem." At this point, Long Hengxu suddenly remembered that he had kicked several good seedlings to Class 5, and suddenly felt a little less confident. There shouldn't be any problem, right?

Long Hengxu and the staff completed the formalities. Two staff members explained the precautions for the Spirit Ascension Platform to Lin Xingyu and the other six while turning on the instruments and preparing them. The button on the right was the entry and exit switch; if there was any danger, they would retreat.

"Lie down!" After explaining the various precautions inside the Spirit Ascension Platform, the staff asked Lin Xingyu and the other six to lie down in a metal cabinet.

The six people were all a little excited. Even Lin Xingyu was entering the Living Being Platform for the first time, and Gu Yue was seeing this kind of human thing for the first time.

Lin Xingyu felt his consciousness quickly blurring, and he entered a semi-sleeping state, then woke up again.

I gently opened my eyes, regained my consciousness, and found myself on the Spirit Ascension Platform. Looking up, I saw the vast primeval forest surging with thriving vitality.
