Chapter 59 Preparation (4000 words long chapter)
“Why do I feel like all my skills are for escaping death? My first soul skill is to parasitize others, and then I can use the power of my second soul skill to escape directly.

Let the Time Worm slowly devour the opponent's martial spirit and vitality, and I will hide in the dark and observe. This is too cowardly!"

Nan Fusheng complained about his own soul skills, saying they were really too cowardly. He wondered what his third soul skill would be like when he became a Soul Master. He hoped it wouldn't be this kind of ability to survive.

But even though he complained, Nan Fusheng knew that it should be impossible. After all, his sequence was known as "Gou Sanjia".

Now I should carefully experiment with my abilities. This should be an extension of the "Gate" path among the three paths of the Lord of Mysteries. This is also the reason why Nan Fusheng named the second soul the Star Worm.

"This ability should be similar to the Gate Path, the Sequence Five Traveler's Gate. However, I remember that in the Lord of Mysteries, if you want to teleport through the Gate Path, you should go through the spirit world, right? Since there is no spirit world in Douluo Continent, it has become a spatial ability directly?"

Nan Fusheng shook his head and stopped thinking about those profound questions. For him, as long as the ability was useful, it was enough. With the ability to teleport over long distances, his ability to survive was finally significantly improved.

"The short-distance teleportation capability of the gate should also be able to teleport other people, but there may be a certain delay, or even interference, unless a Star Bug is placed on the other person to locate them."

In the next three days, Nan Fusheng continued to experiment with the capabilities of the "door".

……

"Boom, boom, boom."

A knock on the door distracted Nan Fusheng, who was experimenting with his abilities. Who would come to see him at this hour? He walked out and opened the door.

"It's Wulin. What's the matter?" Nan Fusheng said to Tang Wulin who was outside the door.

"Come to my room. I have something to tell you." Tang Wulin waved at him and went to the next room.

It was already evening and everyone had just returned from dinner, so they were all in the dormitory. Soon, Tang Wulin called them into his room.

"Captain, why did you call us all here?" Nan Fusheng said with a hint of sarcasm.

Tang Wulin said, "I'll give you some things. Try them out quickly. If there's anything inappropriate, I'll make some changes." As he spoke, he took out a bunch of metal objects from his storage ring and handed them to everyone.

"This is..." Looking at what Tang Wulin handed over, everyone showed surprise.

It was a vest, a metal vest. The vest was made of thumb-sized pieces of silver metal, and the joints were cleverly buckled together.

What surprised them even more was that this vest, which was obviously made of metal, was very light and weighed very little. It looked a bit like chain mail. If you look closely, you can find that there are faint cloud patterns on each metal piece, which is filled with a strange atmosphere.

"It's so light, what material is it made of?" Zhang Yangzi asked curiously.

Tang Wulin said, "This is a rare metal called Cloud Titanium. I used the Thousand Forging Method to forge and purify it. Although it is very light, its hardness and toughness are very high. When we enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, we will be scanned by the instrument, and everything about us will be completely imprinted on the Spirit Ascension Platform. Wearing it will give everyone an extra layer of protection."

Wang Jinxi said dully, "Does this count as cheating?"

Zhang Yangzi said unhappily: "How can this be called cheating? We are making better use of the opportunity of the riot period to improve ourselves." As he spoke, he had already taken off his coat and put on the Thousand Forged Cloud Titanium vest given by Tang Wulin.

"Although it doesn't fit perfectly, it doesn't affect movement and it's quite light. Jin Xi, try punching me." Zhang Yangzi said eagerly.

"Oh." Wang Jinxi raised his hand and punched him in the chest.

With a "bang", Zhang Yangzi was hit and fell to the ground.

"Ouch! Please be gentler!" Zhang Yangzi complained.

Wang Jinxi said calmly, "How can it be effective if it's too light? Captain, you did a great job. When I hit you, I felt like those armor pieces were connected together, just like hitting an iron plate. You were actually pushed down by my strength, not knocked down."

Zhang Yangzi got up and touched his chest. Yes! There was no pain in his chest.

Nan Fusheng looked at Tang Wulin and asked, "You have been doing this for us for the past three days?"

"Yeah. It's like sharpening our weapons before a battle. What Jin Xi and Yang Zi said are both right. We can be considered cheating to a certain extent, but at least we can ensure that everyone will not be so easily defeated by a sudden attack by soul beasts.

As long as we can stay in the Soul Ascension Platform for a longer time, our test scores will be the same, and we can also hunt more soul beasts. You all should try it quickly!" Tang Wulin urged.

Everyone tried it and they all looked good. Although Tang Wulin didn't have much idea about making clothes, he could still make a simple vest.

"Okay, that's it. Let's work hard together tomorrow." Tang Wulin stretched out his right hand. Nan Fusheng was the first to follow suit, placing his hand on the back of his hand, followed by Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi, and Zhang Yangzi. Gu Yue then stretched her hand under Tang Wulin's palm and placed the back of her hand against his palm.

The six people shouted together: "Come on!"

In the early morning, Donghai City was covered by a thick mist, which made it impossible to see far and everything looked blurry.

The East China Sea Spirit Transferring Pagoda, which was always relatively deserted on weekdays, became extremely lively today. As one of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars of the Spirit Transferring Pagoda organization, this is one of the entrances to the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period.

An entry card for the Soul Ascension Platform during the Riot Period has been sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins at an auction, and there is still no market for it. Every year, this batch of cards is snatched up by the Soul Transmission Tower Organization. Although there are very few people who can actually complete the soul ascension in it, there is still a chance after all.

Early in the morning, Wu Changkong brought his Class Zero students to the East China Sea Spirit Pagoda. The earlier they entered, the less chance they would have of encountering an opponent.

"Remember, the Soul Ascension Platform during the riot period is when the most people can enter at the same time. Inside, except for each other, everyone else is an enemy. There is only one thing you have to do, and that is to survive. Those who fail the final exam will be punished."

Listening to Wu Changkong's admonition, Xie Xie asked curiously: "Teacher Wu, what is the punishment?"

Wu Zhangkong glanced at him and said, "Cancel the vacation." After each semester, there is a month of vacation. When Xie Xie heard the words "cancel the vacation", his eyes widened. He has been looking forward to the vacation for a long time. The others looked at each other in bewilderment. Only Tang Wulin had a normal expression. Even Nan Fusheng frowned when he heard about this punishment.

After all, he wanted to use the holiday to go to other cities and mark the star bugs. This was his most important ability to survive at the moment.

"Let's go."

Six entry cards were handed over, and under the guidance of the staff, they came to a familiar room. This is the ability of Donghai College.

As the only intermediate soul master academy in Donghai City, Donghai Academy has great influence and has a good relationship with the Soul Pagoda. Otherwise, a place on the Soul Ascension Platform cannot be bought with money.

The East China Sea Spirit Pagoda has set up a special access room for them, and allows teachers to monitor here. These are not normal, but special privileges given to them.

"The interior of the Soul Ascension Platform is very dangerous during the riot period. You have all been in the Soul Ascension Platform many times and are basically accustomed to the conditions inside. I will not remind you of more. If you feel bad, leave the battlefield immediately." The staff gave a few simple instructions.

The more times you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, the less likely you are to encounter danger like the first time Wang Jinxi encountered it.

The six people lie down in the metal cabinets. Under the control of the staff, the metal cabinets close and the light gradually disappears. The instrument scans and prepares to enter.

The staff inserted six cards into the dedicated slots, and then pressed a red button.This is a protection device during the riot period. Only this kind of card can be used to enter, and the entry position is controlled.

His consciousness was briefly blurred, and when he regained consciousness, he was surrounded by a vast forest. The biggest difference from the past was that this time, the six of them appeared in the Spirit Ascension Platform together.

Fresh air, green vegetation, everything was familiar, and it looked no different from normal times.

Tang Wulin said in a deep voice: "Formation."

He took a few steps forward and stood at the front of the team. Wang Jinxi stayed behind with his back to Tang Wulin. Zhang Yangzi and Xie Xie were on the left and back. All four of them were facing outwards. In the center were Nan Fusheng and Gu Yue.

A soft green light flashed, covering six people at the same time. It was Gu Yue's control of the wind element. Although it was not strong, it was able to reduce everyone's weight and make everyone more flexible.

Tang Wulin raised his right hand and two blue silver grasses emerged. A yellow spirit ring rose under his feet. The two blue silver grasses, like spirit snakes, extended forward and then swept to both sides, pushing aside the bushes to reveal a passage.

"Our first goal is to hold on for an hour and complete the final exam. The second goal is to hunt as many soul beasts as possible. Everyone be careful." Five blue silver grasses spread out from under his feet and wrapped around the waists of his companions, so as to facilitate rescue in dangerous moments.

Zhang Yangzi raised his hand, and his soul little black eagle flew into the sky. The combat enhancement given to him by his little black eagle was secondary. The biggest function was to share vision. But the little black eagle could not leave the ten meters around his body. Even so, with an extra field of vision, he could see farther.

Without any hope of luck, they all released their martial spirits as soon as they entered the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Inside the observation room of the Spirit Tower.

The staff member smiled at Wu Changkong and said, "These little guys are pretty good. Teacher Wu really has a good way of training them."

Wu Zhangkong nodded slightly and said, "Let's see how they perform."

He has always been the type who doesn't show his emotions or anger, but he is quite satisfied with his disciples.

Looking at them, he would unconsciously think of the school motto that had been passed down for 20,000 years: Shrek Academy only accepts monsters, not ordinary people.

Although this school motto has not been perfectly implemented in every period, it is deeply engraved in the mind of every student of Shrek Academy and they are proud of it.

I don’t know how far these little guys can go.

To become a monster, one not only needs to work hard, but also needs to have extraordinary talents. At present, all six of them have them.

Judging from talent, the best is undoubtedly Gu Yue. Her martial spirit has never appeared before even in the records of the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy.

Five kinds of elemental control, this is really amazing. Although her soul skills can only enhance her own soul power or the strength of elemental control, but the five elements can also be used in combination, what additional soul skills are needed?
Her spiritual power is unprecedented among her peers. Not only has she reached the spiritual realm at a young age, but she is also improving very quickly. I'm afraid she will be able to enter the spiritual sea realm before graduating from the junior department in six years. If this is true, it will be a precedent in the soul master world. Her future development is limitless.

The second best talent is naturally Xie Xie. Twin martial spirits are a very rare talent no matter what era. Although his is a companion type twin martial spirit, it is slightly different from a pure twin martial spirit. But companionship has its own advantages. Maybe in the future he can...

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were only above average in terms of their individual talents, and neither the Bone Dragon King nor the Dark Phantom Eagle were considered the top martial spirits. But they were able to fuse their martial spirits, and once the martial spirit fusion technique could be perfectly displayed and controlled, the two of them together would be no less powerful than any top talent.

However, whether their martial soul fusion can be completed in the end still needs to be observed. After all, before the perfect fusion, the martial soul fusion technique has not been fully established.

Finally, it was Tang Wulin and Nan Fusheng. Wu Zhangkong was also a little confused about the captain and vice-captain he appointed.

Tang Wulin has many qualities that his peers don't have. He has a tough personality. Although he has a useless martial spirit, he is not discouraged and works hard to practice. He keeps up with his classmates step by step. His physical strength is also the best among all of them. His innate divine power can at least make up for the problems of his own martial spirit at a low level.

More importantly, his martial soul is still mutating, and he also has a strange golden dragon claw. His uncertainty is the strongest among the six people, and he also needs to continue to observe. If his martial soul can continue to mutate benignly, he is likely to become a super genius like Gu Yue.

Nan Fusheng's character and qualities are no less impressive than Tang Wulin's. He is brave enough to take responsibility and protect his teammates when facing danger.

When fighting side by side with his companions, he is also willing to trust his teammates. Even when facing attacks that can kill him, he can remain calm and trust his teammates. This is something that many soul master teams find difficult to do (referring to the defense of Tang Wulin in the Soul Ascension Platform).

His calm personality makes him the best choice to be a team leader. Unfortunately, it seems that his martial soul is more inclined towards the spiritual system, and spiritual system soul masters are slow to develop their power. Usually, they can only show their strength when they are at the Soul Saint stage and have a martial soul true body.

Fortunately, judging from Nan Fusheng's current training speed, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the Soul Saint stage. Even now, his mental power has far surpassed that of ordinary spiritual soul masters.
