Chapter 40 Xie Encounters Wei Xiaofeng for a Battle

Three or four days later, Huanling arrived at the classroom in the morning. Everyone was not there yet, but he found Ye Yingluo and Ye Yingrong were both standing on the podium.

Ever since Class Zero was established, Ye Yingrong has been in charge of theoretical classes in the morning, and Ye Yingluo has been in charge of practical classes in the afternoon. Why are they here together today?
The two teachers on the stage did not speak. They sat in the audience and whispered to each other. When Tang Wulin finally arrived in the classroom, Ye Yingluo said, "Today's class is cancelled. Let's go to the Spirit Pagoda. The academy has secured for you the opportunity to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform once a week. You must cherish this opportunity."

Huan Ling had expected this and seemed very calm. Tang Wulin and Gu Yue were puzzled, while the others looked shocked.

Huan Ling glanced at Gu Yue. Logically speaking, she should have been a disciple of Tian Feng Douluo by now, but unexpectedly, she didn't even know about the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Xie Xie praised: "What a great effort by the college! It seems that joining Class Zero is really the right choice!"

Tang Wulin asked in a low voice: "What is the Spirit Ascension Platform?"

Xie Xie looked at him in surprise and said, "You don't even know about the Shenglingtai? That's a great place!"

Tang Wulin said, "Tell me quickly. I really don't know."

Xie Xie said: "Among the Soul Transmission Towers in our Douluo Continent, only large cities have the possibility of having Soul Ascension Platforms. There are a total of 18 Soul Ascension Platforms in the continent. They are the best places for our soul masters to practice."

"The Soul Ascension Platform was built by the Soul Transmission Tower. It is a place for soul masters to practice and improve their personal strength. It is also a place where they can feel the charm of the soul master world in ancient times."

"I'm not quite sure about the principle of the Soul Ascension Platform. Anyway, I heard that when it was first built, there were more than ten Titled Douluo involved, and a large number of top scientific researchers were mobilized. For this, the Soul Transmission Tower paid a considerable price and finally completed the construction of the Soul Ascension Platform."

"When the Soul Ascension Platform was first built, its main purpose was to allow the Soul Transmission Tower to further study artificial souls. It was hoped that the Soul Ascension Platform could be used to improve the level of artificial souls, thereby enabling them to create more powerful souls."

"But later, the experiment was only partially successful. Although the Soul Ascension Platform was helpful in improving the soul level, the help was not so obvious and there was a lot of uncertainty."

“Such a huge investment was made in the Spiritual Transmission Tower, so of course it cannot be wasted. After a series of developments, the Spiritual Transmission Platform has become a unique place.”

"To put it simply, it is a place where the most advanced soul guides, soul masters, and researchers from the entire continent are concentrated. When a soul master enters the Soul Ascension Platform, it is like entering another dimension, but he will be protected by the Soul Ascension Platform itself. The danger level is not great, but he can fight soul beasts inside and improve his actual combat experience."

"Some soul masters who are particularly lucky can even perfect their souls in the Soul Ascension Platform and achieve the effect of soul ascension. I don't know the specific situation. These are all what I have heard. I have never actually entered it."

Huan Ling corrected him, "It's not eighteen soul-raising platforms, but twenty. The legendary Eighteen Heavenly Pillars are soul-transmitting towers located in eighteen first-tier cities. They all have soul-raising platforms inside. The soul-transmitting towers in the Mingdu branch and the headquarters in Shrek City are above the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars."

Tang Wulin asked in confusion: "What is soul ascension?"

Huan Ling explained for him: "The soul beasts killed in the Soul Ascension Platform are all virtual. After killing them, you can obtain one tenth of their spiritual power to increase the age of the soul." "For example, the age of your current Azure Ivy soul is 367 years, so your soul only needs to be upgraded for 633 years to become a thousand-year soul. The soul is upgraded to a higher realm, and this process is called soul ascension."

Tang Wulin said in distress, “So I need to kill a 6,330-year-old soul beast in the Soul Ascension Platform before I can evolve the Azure Ivy Soul into a Thousand-Year Soul?”

His spiritual power is at the spiritual level, so of course he can possess a thousand-year soul, but hearing what Huan Ling said, it seems a little difficult.

Huan Ling nodded: "That's right, and the Soul Ascension Platform increases the age of souls through soul rings. In other words, if you break through to become a great soul master and have two soul rings, both of which are soul rings condensed from the Azure Ivy soul, then the spiritual power required will be doubled, after all, the spiritual power is divided equally between the two soul rings."

Tang Wulin immediately began to ponder, wondering whether it would be more time-saving to enter the Soul Ascension Platform once a week to work hard, or to forge and earn money to buy a Thousand-Year Soul.

After careful consideration, Tang Wulin realized that he didn't know how long it would take for him to break through to the level of Great Soul Master, let alone Soul Master. There was no point in considering such things.

Xie Xie said, “Moreover, the Soul Ascension Platform is also divided into different levels. The entry level Soul Ascension Platform costs about 500,000 Federation Coins each time you enter. But what’s even more valuable is the number of places. For each Soul Ascension Platform, the entry level only has 1,000 places per month.”

"Compared to the current total number of soul masters on the continent, which is at least one million, the comparison is imaginable. There are fewer places for the intermediate and advanced soul-raising platforms because they consume more resources and the money required is also increased exponentially."

“So, the academy is really generous this time!” Xie Xie said with admiration: “It’s not easy to get a quota. Many places are reserved by big families or big forces. It seems that our academy really has a lot of foundation.”

Wei Xiaofeng turned around and glared at Xie Xie, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? It's as if you're the only one who knows."

"If you don't agree, go in and fight." Xie Xie looked at Wei Xiaofeng nonchalantly. Although the two of them got along well, their personalities were not very harmonious.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Wei Xiaofeng snorted coldly and said, "Then let's go in and have a fight. Whoever loses will be your younger brother."

“Then it’s settled.” How could Xie Xie be afraid of him? He was a little worried, but when he thought about the fact that he had already broken through to become a great soul master and had twin martial souls, he was not so worried anymore.

Even though it was not his first time here, every time Huan Ling saw the Spirit Tower, he would be shocked by its height.

The Spirit Transferring Tower can be seen from far away. It has hundreds of floors and is over 400 meters high. Even in the Donghai City where high-rise buildings are everywhere, it is a landmark building.

The base of the Spirit Transmission Tower is octagonal and occupies a very large area. Every ten floors it becomes narrower until it reaches the spire at the top.

Just by looking at the exterior, one can feel its immense grandeur. The branch towers are already so huge, so how huge would the headquarters of the Spirit Transmission Tower, the place known as the Heavenly Spirit Tower, be?
