Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 49 Riot at the Ascension Platform

With Class Zero undergoing weekly training at the Spirit Ascension Platform, everyone's progress was rapid.

Su Qiu returned to his daily cultivation routine. For some reason, as his soul power level continued to increase, the cultivation speed, which had slowed down after level 30 due to his extreme attributes, seemed to have less and less of an impact.

He could feel a special power gradually surging within his body, and his cultivation speed gradually increased accordingly. He has now easily reached the peak of level thirty-five.

He hasn't neglected forging either, and is only one step away from becoming a spirit forging master. Perhaps he can become a level 5 forging master in his next practice session, a level 5 forging master who is not even ten years old.

Gu Yue unknowingly caught up with Na'er's progress and broke through to the Soul Venerable realm.

With the resources provided by Class Zero, Tang Wulin reached the peak of level 15.

Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi are all at the level of a level 22 Great Soul Master.

The day of the final exams arrived quickly.

Early in the morning, Wu Changkong calmly looked at the students of Class Zero: "Your final exams are divided into two subjects. Do you remember what I mentioned before about the Spirit Ascension Platform? The Spirit Ascension Platform is the first subject."

"The Ascension Platform doesn't seem so difficult now." Xie Xie was somewhat smug. After this period of training, he was confident that he could pass the Ascension Platform test.

Wu Changkong changed the subject: "So, this time you're going to enter the Riotous Spirit Ascension Platform."

Riot at the Ascension Platform?
Even Xie Xie had never heard of this before. He hurriedly asked, "Teacher, what does 'rioting Spirit Ascension Platform' mean?"

The others, besides Su Qiuna and Gu Yue, also looked puzzled.

Wu Changkong explained, "The Spirit Ascension Platform experiences two riot periods each year, during which the soul beasts inside become more active and numerous, greatly increasing the danger. However, you can enter as a team."

Entering as a team?
Does that mean you can be with Su Qiu?
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Su Qiu at the same time.

With this expert around, what's the point of a riot? Aren't they just easy targets?

This final exam was practically a freebie.

Having observed everyone's reactions, Wu Changkong remained silent.

This assessment is primarily focused on spiritual advancement; the training itself is secondary. After all, the period of turmoil is extremely rare.

He continued, "I need to remind you that the entry limit for the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform is the peak of the third ring. And the price to pay for entering the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period is extremely high."

"Because during each period of riots, there are only three hundred slots available for the eighteen pillars of the entire Federation."

"Therefore, many Soul Masters only take a gamble when they reach the peak of the third ring, to see if they can kill more Soul Beasts to advance their Soul Spirit."

"You need to be careful of these people."

"Because it takes one hundred seconds for a soul beast to absorb spiritual power inside the riotous Spirit Ascension Platform, during this time, other people may come to snatch the spiritual power."

Can it steal other people's spiritual power?

Be careful of other Soul Masters?
Everyone was stunned, but not worried.

Zhang Yangzi immediately chimed in, "So, besides hunting soul beasts, we can also steal from others?"

He did not mention the possibility of it being stolen by someone else.

The others' eyes also lit up.

They have Su Qiu! Who can beat this living father?

Only Soul Venerables can enter at the highest level. If they join forces with Su Qiu, they'll be slaughtering everyone!

Wu Changkong did not refute this. He did not restrict the formation of teams, which meant that Su Qiu was allowed to mentor them more.

There are too many benefits to the period of riots.

Afterwards, Wu Changkong led the students of Class Zero to the Spirit Transmission Tower in the East China Sea.

Throughout the journey, he kept reminding everyone of things to be careful about.

However, few people listened attentively.

They've already started fantasizing about the moment.

With Su Qiu leading the way, is it possible for them to elevate their souls to the thousand-year level this time? That's a thousand years!

Every time I see Su Qiuna'er and the others' thousand-year soul rings, I get so hungry I drool.

Su Qiu, on the other hand, was pondering whether this period of turmoil would be enough for his soul to break through to ten thousand years.

Na'er was carefully considering how to steal everyone else's spiritual power and give it to Su Qiu.

Gu Yue wondered what the Soul Beast Forest would be like during the riotous period inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.
It's a pity it's just a simulation, otherwise she would definitely have brought desserts in to eat while she strolled around.

Upon arriving at the Spirit Pagoda, no entry pass issued by Donghai Academy to Wu Changkong is required.

Simply by using Su Qiu's connections, the group traveled without hindrance, enjoying special privileges such as exclusive access rooms and teacher surveillance.

After the staff gave them a brief instruction to "escape immediately if danger occurs," the group lay down in the instrument compartment.

Staff inserted a card, pressed the button for the red riot period protection device, and operated the instrument to start the transmission.

After a brief period of blurred consciousness, everyone appeared together in the vast forest of the Ascension Platform.

Gu Yue's eyes darkened. This environment seemed no different from the usual Spirit Ascension Platform. There was nothing particularly new or exciting about it.

The others quickly looked around.

They all breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Su Qiu's reassuring figure.

They are together indeed.

It’s stable!

"I'll act alone for a while first," Su Qiu's calm voice rang out, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "I can move faster by myself. Once I've completed my own soul spirit ascension, I'll come back to help you all break through to the thousand-year soul spirit realm."

Helping his classmates was nothing, but before that, he had to reach the ten-thousand-year level himself and complete this goal.

"Brother Su is so generous!" Xie Xie was the first to react, jumping up and down excitedly, shouting, "With Brother Su here, we're guaranteed to advance to the Thousand-Year Soul Spirit level this time!"

He started rubbing his hands together, his eyes full of anticipation.

The thought of soon possessing a thousand-year soul ring made him hum softly.

Who wouldn't want to be the first soul to ascend to the millennium level?

Tang Wulin's eyes also flashed with gratitude and anticipation. Although he had been cultivating diligently, a thousand-year-old soul spirit was still an unattainable goal for him at present.

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi were overjoyed.

Zhang Yangzi had even started planning to follow Su Qiu and win without lifting a finger, closing his eyes and fantasizing about stealing the spiritual power of other soul masters, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turning up.

No one objected to Su Qiu leaving the team to advance her spiritual level on her own.

After all, Su Qiu had no obligation to take care of them like this. Helping was a favor, not helping was her right.

"I want to go too! I want to go too!" Na'er skipped and hopped to Su Qiu, blinking her big purple eyes.

"Na'er is very powerful. You saw it last time. Na'er can help you catch a lot of soul beasts."

Seeing this made Gu Yue feel physically uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but vomit. Although she also wanted to win over Su Qiu, she had always wanted to conquer him with her charm.

Na'er's deliberate attempts to act cute and her sycophantic behavior were utterly disapproving; they were morally reprehensible and befitting a king of the Soulless Beasts.

Gu Yue couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Tsk tsk, Na'er is really amazing~~"

"I'll help you catch tons and tons of spirit beasts~~"

"Look at you."

Na'er still yawned: "Mind your own business! How many times have I told you!"

"I! Want to!"

The surrounding air became still.
