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

Chapter 63 The Supreme Two-Faced Silver Dragon King

The faint feeling of weightlessness told Gu You that they were going deeper and deeper underground, but they had no way of knowing how deep.

As expected of the number one organization on the continent, the Spirit Pagoda possesses the most formidable strength and financial resources. Such a project must have cost an astronomical sum.

The elevator had no numbers on it, but it took a full three minutes to stop.

Stepping out of the elevator, you enter a spacious lobby with a dozen or so staff members, behind which are rows of metal-structured passageways.

Long Hengxu took out five oddly shaped cards and handed them to one of the staff members. The staff member didn't say anything, but simply made a gesture of invitation and led them towards one of the passageways.

After walking several dozen meters down the passageway, they entered another elevator and continued downwards. This time, the elevator stopped after only a dozen seconds. When they reappeared, they found themselves in a circular room.

The room was still entirely made of metal, but a huge circle of soul-guided screens hung on the walls, displaying various images that looked like a green world, resembling a jungle.

The staff member turned around and said, "There are five spots available to enter the Primary Ascension Platform. There is no time limit. If you can no longer withstand the dangers, press your distress signal device to return here. Now, I'll explain the precautions."

"Only five?" Long Hengxu was taken aback. Why would the school only give him five spots? In that case, he looked at Gu You.

Gu You naturally heard these two sentences as well. So, I just arrived, and they didn't even prepare my qualifications?

Everyone stared at Gu You, and the scene became somewhat awkward. There were only five spots for six people, so how were they going to be allocated?

Just then, a staff member pointed at Gu You in shock. He was dressed in white and wearing a mask. "You're that model youth from the news!!" His mask kept moving, unable to hide his shock, and his eyes widened.

what?

The other staff members were all taken aback. They carefully examined the ancient scenery, and some even took out their phones to compare it with the news photos. It was absolutely true.

Xie Xie and Wu Changkong were also dazed. They were usually at the academy, and even when they went out, it was to eat, go shopping, or handle matters. They rarely paid attention to news like this. However, Long Hengxu, who was standing next to him, did know that a friend of his had told him that a young boy had cooperated with the military to kill "two evil soul masters at the Soul Douluo level." Long Hengxu finally understood why the principal wouldn't even let Gu You sign the agreement for the school's Class Zero. It turned out that the school had tried to curry favor with him and had lied to him about being a genius from the East China Sea Forging Association. It was ridiculous.

However, what Long Hengxu didn't know was that Yu Zhen also didn't know about Gu You's identity. The Blacksmith Association was very thorough in keeping information under wraps; there were no student photos, only information about their soul power level and martial soul.

Under everyone's gaze, Gu You chuckled, "In that case, how about giving me one more spot? If that's really not possible, wait a few hours, and I'll go find someone to borrow the beginner-level entry requirement for the Spirit Ascension Platform, okay?"

One of the staff members pondered for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, you need a Beginner Spirit Ascension Platform Entry Card to enter."

Gu You said no more, but Wu Changkong stepped forward at this moment, "I have one more card here, let him in."

Long Hengxu stared in disbelief at the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform access card in Wu Changkong's hand. How did he get an extra one?

"Good geniuses must be nurtured. This was the academy's mistake. No matter what, Gu You must get in. I acquired this card a long time ago at a small auction. I was shocked at the time, considering it was such a small auction, and the value of the auctioned item was less than 10,000 Federal Credits. I had enough money then, so I bought it for 100,000." Wu Changkong's words were still cold, but in everyone's mind, his image seemed to have grown ten times taller.

Even Long Hengxu was ashamed of himself. "It was indeed the academy's mistake, Chang Kong. I will report this to the principal. It won't happen again. We will also compensate you soon."

Wu Changkong ignored him and handed the beginner's card to the staff member, saying, "Thank you."

"Okay, please follow me." The staff member nodded.

Gu You remained silent. He wasn't particularly moved, but there was an undeniable warmth in his heart.

Xie Xie suddenly came up to Gu You and asked curiously, "Gu You, what's this about the model youth? It seems like something big, and it's related to you."

Gu You ignored Xie Xie's suggestion and said speechlessly, "It's better if you don't know. If you want to know, just ask someone by the roadside. Anyway, I don't want to bring it up."

Xie Xie saw that Gu You didn't say anything, so he had no choice but to leave.

……

"Wu Lin." Gu Yue glanced around and, finding no one watching her, whispered to Tang Wu Lin.

"What is it, Gu Yue?" For some reason, Tang Wulin looked somewhat weak.

"That Gu You, I sense something strange about his aura, let's just ignore him..."

Why?

"what!"

Gu You appeared behind the two of them without them noticing, and said with a smile.

Gu Yue was so startled that she took two steps back and almost fell into Gu You's arms. After calming herself down, she said shyly, "You...you shouldn't scare me like that."

"Ha! When that two-faced turtle was speaking ill of me behind my back, I didn't see her showing me much mercy either," Gu You retorted.

"You..." Gu Yue ignored him, unable to speak even if she wanted to.

"Your name is Tang Wulin, right? It's nice to meet you. My name is Gu You. Don't listen to what that two-faced turtle says. I'm a very good person." Gu You showed a rather amiable expression.

Tang Wulin was rather short, so he could only look up at Gu You.

"Hello!" He felt that the boy in front of him was very kind, and did not have the strange aura that Gu Yue had mentioned. He even felt that the boy was full of sunshine and optimism, which gave him a unique feeling.

Gu Yue was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode. How did the way he handled things end up giving him a negative impression?

"Quiet!"

The staff at the Ascension Platform warned them, and only then did the crowd remain silent and follow quietly.

……

"The Spirit Ascension Platform was built by our Spirit Transmission Tower over thousands of years, relying on countless accumulations and foundations, and consuming almost all of its resources. It can be called another world in itself, and it uses a lot of spatial technology. Therefore, the first thing you need to be aware of is that the Spirit Ascension Platform is not a completely virtual world, but half virtual and half real. This is because a lot of virtual data needs to rely on real feedback. The primary Spirit Ascension Platform is a purely virtual part of it, so your lives will not be threatened."
