Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 146 Climbing the Tower?

"How did you find me?"

"Sensitivity to surrounding elements."

"Real or fake?" Gu You raised an eyebrow. If he could find himself simply by sensing the surrounding elements, wouldn't that mean that he could be sensed by Gu Yue with her precise elemental perception ability in any corner of the world?

He couldn't possibly believe that. Even if you were the Silver Dragon King, it would be impossible for you to control and utilize the elemental energy of the entire continent, let alone when you're not in your complete or prime form.

"Really..." Gu Yue tilted her head down, "There was a medicinal scent. I smelled it, and then I realized it was you."

"That's great, just tell the truth, we didn't mean you any harm," Gu You said with a smile.

"So, is there something you need from me?"

"I heard from the teacher that you had taken leave. I originally wanted to go to the pagoda, but I thought that you were missing, so I waited for you. I didn't expect that I would wait for half a month."

"Chongta?" Gu You asked with great interest.

"Reaching the Spirit Tower is a good opportunity to obtain Soul Spirits. The academy has cooperated with the Spirit Tower. Our Shrek Academy students can obtain Soul Spirits not only by purchasing them, but also through other means to obtain higher-quality ones. Purchasing them is not only too expensive, but also has a certain degree of randomness. Sometimes, high-quality Soul Spirits are hard to come by, and they can only be obtained through special methods of lottery. It is difficult to obtain the desired Soul Spirit. However, the Spirit Tower now has another way to obtain them, but it is more troublesome."

"So what you're talking about, rushing through the tower, is another method." Gu You's expression remained calm.

Gu Yue nodded. "The Spirit Pagoda has a rule: to obtain souls over a thousand years old, you can attempt to ascend through the tower. The Spirit Pagoda headquarters has a Soul Tower with 108 floors, each protected by a different formation. Once you pass a floor, you can choose to absorb a soul from that floor. At this point, you can choose to continue or not. If you choose to continue, the souls from that floor cannot be absorbed and will be directly replaced by the next floor. However, if you fail to defeat the soul beasts on the next floor, you will have no chance. Even if you fail, you will receive a discounted soul from that floor—a 50% discount!"

"There are two types of people who can rush into the tower: one is someone from the Spirit Pagoda itself, and the other is a genius with special talents. Because of this condition, Shrek Academy once negotiated with the Spirit Pagoda. After a series of conditions, they could rush into the tower after the Spirit Pagoda verified their identity."

"Because of the different martial souls of different soul masters, as well as the issues of support-type soul masters, the Soul Spirit Tower is climbed in teams, with a maximum of seven people per team. Of course, the difficulty is also designed for seven people. The first eighteen floors are filled with thousand-year-old soul spirits. The higher you climb, the higher the level and quality of the soul spirits. Floors eighteen to thirty-six are filled with ten-thousand-year-old soul spirits. These are all collected by the Spirit Pagoda over the years. Floors above thirty-six are all over ten-thousand-year-old beings. It is said that the top nine floors are filled with ferocious beasts. These are soul beasts with over one hundred thousand years of cultivation collected by the Spirit Pagoda organization over the past ten thousand years. Each one is a rare and precious existence."

Gu You hadn't actually planned to go, but when he heard that there were ferocious beast-level soul beasts on the first nine levels, his eyes lit up. He was excited!

"When are you going?"

"I'll go inform the Spirit Pagoda tomorrow morning." Gu Yue looked at Gu You's excited expression, but her face was full of confusion.

She couldn't see through the boy in front of her.

"You're not going to try to conquer the first nine levels, are you?" Gu Yue's pupils widened instantly. Given Gu You's current cultivation level, he couldn't absorb a soul ring yet, so what was he going to do? He only had one target left: a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"You're quite clever. Ordinary soul beasts are useless to me, they're only 100,000 years old. I can take a look." Gu You is determined to go no matter what, nine 100,000-year-old soul beasts!! What does that even mean?

"It is said that our Shrek Academy also has some powerful soul spirit inheritances, but they are only open to inner court disciples. I'm afraid that's what you need," Gu Yue suddenly said.

Gu You nodded, thinking he would squeeze the academy dry when he got back.

"Even if you have the strength to kill those hundred-thousand-year-old ferocious beasts and obtain their souls, your cultivation level is still not high enough. You won't be able to absorb them."

In response to Gu Yue's question, Gu You simply gave him a mysterious look and said, "If I say it's useful, then it is useful."

Back in the dormitory of the co-workers, Gu You and Xie Xie had a good chat.

Xie Xie kept talking, and Gu You answered all his questions in detail, not only for Xie Xie but also for everyone else.

"for you."

Yuan En looked at the boxing gloves Gu You handed him, a ripple of emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Thanks……"

early morning.

The weather wasn't very good today; the sky was overcast, so it got light later than usual. But the work-study student dormitory was already quite lively.

After everyone had breakfast, they gathered here.

The only one missing is Tang Wulin.

In addition, Gu You also saw a familiar figure.

Xu Lizhi!

"Big brother, I didn't expect to run into you here!" The most eye-catching figure was the chubby Xu Lizhi. His body, which was obviously twice the size of everyone else present, always attracted attention.

Yuan Enhui was standing quite far away from the others, especially Yue Zhengyu.

Le Zhengyu didn't approach, his face cold.

Xu Xiaoyan's expression was somewhat subtle, while Gu Yue remained calm.

Xie Xie stood to one side, his gaze occasionally drifting towards Yuanen Yehui, but he didn't dare to go over.

clap clap!

Gu You clapped his hands. "Now that everyone's here, let's skip the chit-chat and get started!"

The group left Shrek Academy in a grand procession.

When Gu You arrived at the school gate, he wanted to call a car, but before he knew it, a luxury van had already stopped outside the college.

The car door opened, and Yue Zhengyu's former butler jumped down and opened the door for them.

Xie Xie gave Le Zhengyu a thumbs up, finally doing something a normal human being should do.

Le Zhengyu sat in the front passenger seat, the butler drove, and there were exactly six seats in the back. If it weren't for Xu Lizhi, there would definitely be enough space for six people, but Xu Lizhi himself was already taking up one and a half seats.

But in the end, everyone still managed to squeeze their way up.

Xie Xie sat on the far left, next to Yuan En Ye Hui.

This was the first time he had been so close to Yuan Enhui, especially in the confined space of a car. Xie Xie felt a surge of heat in his heart, and the images he shouldn't have seen that day flashed uncontrollably through his mind.

"If you dare to think anything like that, I'll kill you..."
