Chapter 60 Making trouble
"It's no problem to just stay here for an hour now, but it seems a bit boring. Should we do something?" Nan Fusheng, who was protected by everyone, looked alert on the outside, but he had some evil thoughts in his heart.
Tang Wulin in front used the blue silver grass vines to carefully separate the bushes in front and slowly moved forward with everyone.
Because of the final exams, the most important thing for them now is to hold on for an hour, so hunting soul beasts is secondary.
The most important thing is to find a relatively safe place.
"There are no soul beast movements in the rear and on both sides for the time being." Zhang Yangzi reported.
Tang Wulin, who was walking in front, nodded. A silver light flashed on his left hand, and he grasped the Thousand Forged Silver Hammer. His right hand did not, because he could use the Golden Dragon Claw with his right hand to meet the enemy at any time.
At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded from the front, and then a huge figure appeared in front of the six people.
It was a huge ape with a tall and strong body. It exuded a faint fishy smell, its hair was gray-black, and its eyes were blood red.
Ever since they first entered the Soul Ascension Platform, Wu Changkong had asked everyone in Class Zero to concentrate on studying the types of soul beasts. Coupled with their experience in the Soul Ascension Platform, they now knew much more about various soul beasts than before.
Everyone could tell at a glance that this was a 100-year-old iron-armed ape. It was a humanoid soul beast with fast speed and great strength, and a pair of ape arms as hard as steel. The most annoying thing was that it had a group skill similar to an aura, intimidation.
Once intimidated, a spirit master with weaker mental strength will be greatly affected, and may even lose the desire to fight. Therefore, when facing a hundred-year-old iron-armed ape, the best way is to strike first.
"Swoosh!" He swung the Thousand-Forged Silver Hammer in his left hand almost without hesitation, drawing a parabola and flying straight towards the chest of the Iron-Armed Ape. At the same time, Tang Wulin took a big step and pounced on it. The golden scales on his right arm quietly appeared, and he attacked head-on.
At the same time, strands of blue silver grass spread out, clinging to the bushes on the ground, and silently wrapped around the iron-armed ape.
As Tang Wulin moved, Xie Xie also moved. He was incredibly fast and arrived behind Tang Wulin in an instant. Tang Wulin grabbed the blue silver grass vine tied to his waist with his right hand and swung it upwards.
Xie Xie's body had already flown into the air. In the air, he did a beautiful roll and flew over the head of the Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape. The Light Dragon Dagger appeared in his palm and stabbed into the back of the Iron-Armed Ape's head.
The hundred-year-old iron-armed ape is a humanoid, and the back of the brain is its weak point.
Two small fireballs flew out like arrows. If you look closely, you can find that there is a faint green light on the fireballs. This is a seemingly inconspicuous little skill, the wind-accelerated fireball. The attack power is not strong, but the advantage is the incredibly fast speed.
When Tang Wulin pounced, the Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape felt a flash of light and a burning sensation in front of its eyes. Therefore, it did not see Xie Xie rising from the air and behind it.
The cooperation between Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and Gu Yue was perfect.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi did not move. Instead, they quickly gathered together, protecting Nan Fusheng in the middle, and carefully observed the surroundings. Even though their martial soul fusion skills were not yet complete, they would still be very powerful if used against a strong enemy.
Their current goal was to protect Nan Fusheng and cover the rear, and to guard against other soul beasts that might appear.
The Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape was too late to even raise his arms in the face of the incredibly fast little fireballs. He could only lower his head and smash them with his hard forehead, sending sparks flying. At the same time, he swept his arms across the Thousand-Forged Silver Hammer.
With a "bang", the Thousand Forged Silver Hammer flew back, but the Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape was also shaken all over by the impact. The hammer thrown by Tang Wulin weighed more than a thousand pounds, and it was not so easy to catch it, even if it was naturally strong.
At the same time, strands of blue silver grass climbed up from below like creepers, wrapping around the body of the Hundred-Year-Old Iron Arm Ape. Even with the Iron Arm Ape's powerful strength, it was unable to break free.
At this moment, it suddenly felt a chill on the back of its head. While its forehead was hitting the fireball, Xie Xie had already silently stabbed out with the Light Dragon Dagger and pierced into the back of its head fiercely.
"Roar--" The Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape roared in pain, and his pair of red eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity. He was just about to raise his arm and sweep it behind his head.
However, just as he raised his arm, a spiritual wave directly hit his mind, and the mind of the Hundred-Year-Old Iron Arm Ape went blank, and the light in his eyes quickly dissipated. His two-meter-tall body fell to the ground with a bang.
The light of Xie Xie's first soul ring converged, and a soft light and shadow floated out from the Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape, turning into a faint yellow halo surrounding him. Undoubtedly, it was the spiritual energy of the Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape.
As previously determined, the speed of absorbing spiritual power during the riot period is much slower, and it takes time to digest. However, this is a hundred-year-old soul beast after all, so it won't take too long to digest.
When Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger pierced the Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape, it was not enough to kill it at once. After all, its hard skull provided considerable resistance.
However, Xie Xie directly activated his first soul skill, Light Dragon Blade, inside its head. With the sharpness of the soul skill, he crushed its brain. With the help of Nan Fusheng, the Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape lost its combat effectiveness.
Zhang Yangzi's voice came from behind, "Turn left, the left side is safe for now."
The people in Class Zero immediately moved to the left. Having just hunted a soul beast, they didn't dare to stay here for long.
From the appearance of the Hundred-Year-Old Iron-Armed Ape to its joint killing by the four, the entire process took only a dozen seconds. Gu Yue only played a confusing role. With their cultivation level of only one or two rings, they were able to do it so cleanly and neatly, which was definitely something to be proud of.
This is the improvement in actual combat brought about by more than three months of training on the Spiritual Platform.
The strength of an individual is not only about his own cultivation and soul skills, but also how much he can display in actual combat.
Many spirit masters are often very talented, but lack practical experience. Once a battle occurs, they simply cannot exert their full strength. What Wu Changkong is doing now is to help the students of Class Zero lay a good foundation, enrich their practical experience, and be able to exert 120% of their combat effectiveness in battle.
In his original words, the role of a combat soul master is always to fight, not to be a decoration. Moreover, it is easiest to make progress in battle.
For example, Xie Xie released the Light Dragon Blade inside the soul beast's body, creating a piercing attack effect, which he figured out in actual combat.
After running several hundred meters to the left, they did not encounter any more attacks from spirit beasts. Tang Wulin stopped and said, "Everyone, take a rest here for a while. Yangzi, you will be in charge of reconnaissance."
"Okay!" Zhang Yangzi agreed and quickly climbed up a big tree next to him. He looked into the distance from the branch. His soul Black Eagle looked in another direction, observing the movements around him.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie sat down cross-legged, recovering the soul power they had previously consumed, while Nan Fusheng and others stood by to protect them.
Although they consumed very little energy in that battle, in a place like the Spirit Ascension Platform, it is undoubtedly the best choice to stay in the best condition at all times. Only in this way can they go further.
"Someone is coming. Three of them, two men and one woman, coming towards us. They look about fifteen or sixteen years old, one has three rings, and two have two rings. Two of them show signs of absorbing spiritual energy."
Zhang Yangzi described his judgment in the simplest words. At this moment, a red light suddenly streaked across the sky in the distance and flew straight towards Zhang Yangzi on the tree branch. He was discovered!
Zhang Yangzi jumped down from the tree, spreading his wings behind him to reduce his falling speed. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were sitting on the ground, jumped up at the same time.
Xie Xie dodged and disappeared behind a big tree. The other five people stood side by side, leaning against the big tree where Xie Xie was, and looked in the direction of the person coming.
When the three people, two men and one woman, met face to face, Nan Fusheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Among the two men and one woman opposite him, he did not recognize the two boys who were about fifteen or sixteen years old, but he knew the girl. To be honest, it was really a coincidence, it was Mu Xi.
At this moment, a fireball like the sun was suspended above Mu Xi's head, and the red light just now was obviously emitted by her.
It must be said that Mu Xi's Yaoyang martial spirit is very strong, just like a long-range cannon. In terms of attack power alone, it is not comparable to any element of Gu Yue. What is even more surprising is that Mu Xi's spirit rings are no longer two, but three. Three-ring soul master!
"It's you?" Seeing Tang Wulin, Mu Xi was also stunned, but the bright sunlight above his head also dimmed a little.
"Senior Sister." Tang Wulin hurriedly took two steps forward and called out.
"Yeah." Mu Xi nodded to him, "Let's go." After that, she strode in one direction with her two companions.
"Senior Sister?" Zhang Yangzi looked at Tang Wulin with a cunning look on his face. "Something's going on! Senior Sister is very beautiful! Why don't you ever introduce her to us? Senior Sister, why don't we go together?" He shouted the last sentence in the direction of Mu Xi who was leaving.
Mu Xi didn't even look at them, and disappeared into the woods with the two boys.
With her current strength, she is definitely a superior existence among the soul masters who enter the primary soul-raising platform. She looks down on Tang Wulin and his group who only have one or two rings. Moreover, she is not willing to travel with Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin said helplessly, "She is my teacher's daughter. She doesn't seem to like me very much, so we don't interact very often."
Xie Xie chuckled and said, "This senior sister has a very bad temper. Yangzi, if you are interested, you can go and meet her. She is from the fifth grade class one of our college."
Zhang Yangzi shook his head repeatedly and said, "Forget it. I am not used to being abused. Besides, we are still young and should focus on studying and practicing."
Xie Xie glanced at him and said, "What are you thinking about? I just want you to get to know me. Don't think too much. In my eyes, you are still a little kid."
"Humph!" Zhang Yangzi raised his head proudly, "By the time I'm in fifth grade, I will definitely have reached the third ring." With his current training speed, it is not impossible for him to reach the third ring by the age of fourteen.
Nan Fusheng said to Tang Wulin, "What should we do next?" Tang Wulin is the current captain, and his opinion must be sought before making any decision.
Tang Wulin said without hesitation: "Wait. It seems that there are not many soul beasts here. What we need to do first is to hold on for a long enough time, and then hunt the soul beasts. So there is no need to rush."
The six people resumed their original formation and relied on several large trees around them to maintain a complete defense circle.
The number of soul beasts in the Soul Ascension Platform during the riot period had indeed increased a lot, and they were also more aggressive. In the next twenty minutes or so, they encountered a total of more than twenty soul beasts, more than half of which were at the tenth level, and were easily dealt with.
There were also a few hundred-year-old soul beasts, which were not particularly strong. Under Nan Fusheng's control, they were quickly killed. Now Nan Fusheng would only take action when encountering a hundred-year-old soul beast. This division of labor could effectively save everyone's soul power consumption.
The ten-year soul beast can be easily killed by the strength of the people in Class Zero. At the same time, everyone tries to absorb spiritual power equally. This is not only for fairness, but also for faster absorption.
For example, it took Xie Xie about ten minutes to absorb the spiritual power of the 100-year-old Iron Arm Ape, which was equivalent to increasing his cultivation by five years for each of his two spirit rings.
This kind of accumulation requires a long time before it can be elevated to the level of a thousand years.
The final exam time is already halfway through, and everyone is coping relatively easily. Thanks to their tacit cooperation, they have not suffered any major shocks.
"That's just how it is during the riot period." Zhang Yangzi's initial nervousness has eased a lot. At least so far, the soul beasts they have encountered have been dealt with by them.
Based on their experience of entering the Soul Ascension Platform many times, the most dangerous time is when they encounter a powerful soul beast and have to flee. Because in that case, in a panic, they are likely to encounter powerful soul beasts again and again, and be defeated and leave.
This kind of stable defense state is relatively the safest now. Although the chances of hunting soul beasts are less, the time of persistence will be much longer.
"Young man, since you think it's easy, let me increase the intensity for you." Nan Fusheng, who was protected by everyone, heard Zhang Yangzi's words, glanced at him, and thought to himself.
Suddenly, Zhang Yangzi's face turned pale, and his whole body shook. He was horrified, "Oh no, Xiao Hei."
The six people looked up at the same time, and what they saw was a large yellow-green net falling from the sky.
At the same time, they were also surprised to see that Xiao Hei's soul body was being pierced and decomposed by several spear-like limbs.
The killing of the soul is a huge blow to the soul master. It takes a long time for the soul to recover. Zhang Yangzi's cultivation level dropped by more than one third in an instant.
A gust of wind rose from the center of the six-man formation, and the one who reacted the fastest was Gu Yue, who had the strongest mental power.
However, what was shocking was that the wind could not blow away the large yellow-green net that fell from the sky. It passed through it directly without affecting it at all.
"Retreat!" Tang Wulin shouted, and threw out a dozen blue silver grass vines, which barely blocked the big net. However, he was horrified to see that as soon as his tough blue silver grass came into contact with the big net, it began to emit puffs of green smoke and was rapidly corroded.
After decomposing Xiao Hei, the huge figure dropped from the sky, with eight long legs spread out, like eight spears, covering the six people.
Taking advantage of the Blue Silver Grass's obstruction, the six people had already run out of the range controlled by the big net. However, their formation was immediately disrupted.
Black and white texture. Its huge body is like a millstone, each of its long legs is more than two meters long, and its whole body exudes a strange glow.
When it fell, you could clearly see that there was a beautiful human face on its lower abdomen, which added to the horror.
"Human-faced demon spider!" the six people shouted almost in unison.
