Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 54 Level 20 and Before the Final Exam

"Under those circumstances, if you could kill the Crystal Bear without taking any damage, then, given the situation of the four of you..."

Even facing a pack of wolves, there was a chance to break through; Gu Yue wouldn't have needed to sacrifice herself. She even dragged Nan Fusheng and Xie Xie into it, forcing them to divert their attention to protect her. Their sacrifice was all because of you.

Dancer turned the gun towards Tang Wulin and said.

Wu Changkong's voice sounded particularly cold to Tang Wulin. He never expected that the battle he was so proud of would actually turn out like this.

Yes! If this were a real battlefield, and your own mistake led to the collapse of the entire team, with all your teammates dying for you, could that still be considered a victory?

Wu Changkong said calmly, "So, next, you need to strengthen your understanding and learning about soul beasts. Don't think that just because soul beasts are rare now, this kind of learning is useless."

On the contrary, understanding the characteristics of spirit beasts will greatly benefit your future cultivation. Research shows that 90% of the spirit skills possessed by human spirit masters were once possessed by spirit beasts.

Understanding the abilities of spirit beasts is equivalent to understanding your future competitors. It will also allow you to survive longer in the Spirit Ascension Platform, a place that produces only top-tier powerhouses.

"You should have already experienced that the longer you persist in the Ascension Platform, the greater the benefits you will receive. Therefore, you still have a long way to go."

Tang Wulin's joy from the advancement of his soul had vanished completely. Yes! He had dragged his companions down because of his lack of knowledge.

"This morning's lesson will cover the soul beasts you encountered yesterday, their abilities at different cultivation levels, and their unique characteristics," Wu Changkong said calmly.

After their journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform, the six of them became incredibly serious about their studies, as if their soul skills had been amplified. They didn't need Wu Changkong to urge them at all, and even Zhang Yangzi had put aside his hostility towards Tang Wulin. The six of them began to study and cultivate diligently.

Entering the Spirit Ascension Platform once a week became a compulsory course for Class Zero of the first year. Nan Fusheng and his six classmates became exceptionally cautious during their subsequent entries, carefully engaging any spirit beasts they encountered.

However, in the Ascension Platform, caution alone does not guarantee the greatest benefits, as luck plays a crucial role. If you encounter an opponent you cannot defeat, you will easily be eliminated.

Nan Fusheng then took the opportunity to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform and began to experiment with his first soul skill.

Through experiments, Nan Fusheng discovered that being killed by that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear last time was a complete accident. That bear was completely out of its mind; no matter what kind of soul beast it encountered, its first action was to issue a warning!

If you don't run away immediately, that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear will send you a "Dark Gold Terrorclaw" attack in no time.

Once, Nan Fusheng parasitized a hundred-year-old Flame Lion King and led his pride of lions as they ran through the Spirit Ascension Platform. However, they encountered a bear, and before they could escape, Nan Fusheng's pride of lions was instantly slaughtered.

Finally, he was brutally dismembered by the Dark Gold Terror Claw. After several journeys to the Spirit Ascension Platform, Nan Fusheng's first soul spirit successfully evolved into a "Hundred-Year Soul Spirit".

At the same time, it also made Nan Fusheng realize how terrible the bloodline suppression of soul beasts was! No matter what soul beast Nan Fusheng parasitized, when he encountered that dark gold dinosaur bear, the soul beast controlled by Nan Fusheng would involuntarily begin to tremble.

This has nothing to do with consciousness; it's simply a bodily instinct, like a mouse seeing a cat, or an antelope seeing a tiger or a lion.

Although some of these were spirit beasts parasitized by Nan Fusheng, most of them did not have very strong bloodlines, while the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had a top-tier bloodline.

As for why he didn't parasitize the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, it can only be said that if Nan Fusheng wanted to parasitize someone else, he would need to have had contact with the target first; contact is unnecessary.

But at least they need to be face-to-face, to see each other. Given Nan Fusheng and his group's situation, it's likely that their team would be torn to shreds by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear the moment they encountered it.

Moreover, that bear usually roams deep within the primary Spirit Ascension Platform, while Nan Fusheng and his group mostly survive on the outer perimeter, fighting spirit beasts and honing their combat experience. The two are virtually impossible to encounter each other.

……

Before we know it, the end of the first semester of first grade is approaching.

"Teacher Wu, are we going to have a final exam too?" Tang Wulin asked in surprise.

Without a doubt, the first-year final exams meant absolutely nothing to them. This wasn't arrogance; although Class Zero had only been established for three months, all six of them could feel a complete transformation in the past three months.

The other four students in the class also showed surprise. Nan Fusheng, however, remained calm, as if he had expected it all along. In fact, he had expected it all along.

After all, he still has his memories from his previous life, and just by knowing that Wu Changkong is from Shrek Academy, he knows that she won't let them pass the final exams so easily.

As everyone knows, Shrek Academy is best at creating drama. Wu Changkong, as a pure Shrek alumnus, adheres to the principle of "might makes right" and has naturally inherited all of Shrek's traditions.

Moreover, the strength of the students in Class Zero has greatly improved at this moment, so ordinary assessments are not very meaningful to them.

Gu Yue has now reached the peak of level 19, and is just one step away from entering the level 20 ranks.

Tang Wulin has also reached the peak of level 15, not far from level 16. In just half a year, his soul power has increased from the initial level 11 to nearly level 16.

Nan Fusheng, on the other hand, cheated by directly increasing his soul power to level 20, surpassing Gu Yue and causing Xie Xie, whose soul power was only level 22, to exclaim that Nan Fusheng must be on drugs.

Of course, more importantly, it improved their combat skills. The training on the Spirit Ascension Platform was not in vain; with the pressure of the platform there, they trained exceptionally hard in their daily cultivation.

Everyone had reached the age of ten. For ten-year-old children to possess such practical combat abilities was beyond the scope of being simply rare.

Dean Yu Zhen has invested heavily in Class Zero, using the most advanced teaching equipment and making huge investments in the Spirit Ascension Platform, which is why these little monsters have emerged.

"It needs to be done," Wu Changkong said calmly. "Your final exams will consist of two subjects. The first subject is the Spirit Ascension Platform."

Ascension Platform?

In three months, the group has entered the Ascension Platform eleven times. From initial confusion to current familiarity, they can now survive for more than an hour each time they enter, unless they are extremely unlucky.

At its peak, Nan Fusheng held a record of surviving for more than five hours.

As time went on, they increasingly felt the benefits of actual combat on the Spirit Ascension Platform, and their skills, including the application of soul skills and combat techniques, all improved significantly.

Therefore, they have now begun to realize the benefits of the Ascension Platform, and the opportunity to enter it once a week is something they look forward to very much.
