Chapter 47 I've been set up! Testing Mental Strength
As the sun and moon revolved, night turned into day, and half a day quietly passed within the Spirit Transmission Platform.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, a thousand-year-old earth bear crashed to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust that slowly transformed into earthy-yellow energy, floating in mid-air.
"After absorbing this energy, the age limit of the first two soul rings has finally exceeded nine thousand years."
Na'er put away the silver dragon spear that gleamed with a cold light. With a wave of her small hand, after the energy was completely integrated into the soul ring, a look of joy appeared on her fair and pretty face.
After a night of hunting, her first two spirit rings have successfully increased in age from six thousand to nine thousand.
"The efficiency is very high. In just one night, the age of my spirit ring has reached the limit that my mental strength can withstand."
Gu Yue chuckled softly, and the yellow soul ring on her body, which was originally a hundred years old, had transformed into a noble purple, reaching a lifespan of five thousand years.
That night, they specifically targeted thousand-year-old soul beasts, and with the strength of the three of them, taking down a thousand-year-old soul beast at the initial Spirit Ascension Platform was a piece of cake.
"Sigh, there are still too few thousand-year-old soul beasts on this beginner-level Spirit Ascension Platform. I feel like we can go to the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform next time."
Na'er sighed with regret. The primary Spirit Ascension Platform in the East Sea was not as good as the headquarters. The thousand-year-old soul beasts had been hunted down by them, and it would take a certain amount of time for the Spirit Ascension Platform to nurture a new batch of thousand-year-old soul beasts. Therefore, it would probably be difficult for her first two soul rings to break through to ten thousand years.
"It's alright. I'll accompany you to the Spirit Ascension after we get back to headquarters."
Jiang Xiu looked at Na'er and smiled faintly. This time, everyone worked together to help him with his spiritual advancement. It was perfectly reasonable for him to help Na'er with her spiritual advancement after they returned, and it wouldn't take much effort.
Most importantly, with Leng Yaozhu around, their entry into the Spirit Transmission Platform for spirit ascension is completely free.
The exorbitant price to enter the Ascension Platform was simply not a concern for them.
"Alright, it's settled then."
Upon hearing this, Na'er's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she glanced at Gu Yue with an air of arrogance.
"Naive, I'm leaving."
Gu Yue's dark eyes were calm. After saying a word, he pressed the red button on his right arm and disappeared instantly.
"Let's not keep Lord Leng waiting too long, let's go."
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, and the next moment his figure disappeared from the spot.
"Childish~~~"
Na'er mimicked Gu Yue's expression and said something, but then raised her head high, like a general who had won a battle.
Because she knew that the more someone acted as if they didn't care about something, the more she cared about it.
After the three left, the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform returned to calm.
However, the others who entered the Spirit Ascension Platform this time were filled with lamentations, because they discovered that in just one night, the thousand-year-old soul beasts in this primary Spirit Ascension Platform seemed to have vanished, with only a few remaining.
"Bro, is your marking really reliable? We've been searching for so long, and we've only encountered one thousand-year-old soul beast."
Xu Xiaoyan looked at the empty soul beast nest in front of her and then looked suspiciously at Xu Xiaoyu beside her.
"This... I clearly remember correctly, how come it's all gone?"
Xu Xiaoyu was also filled with disbelief. He had clearly scouted the location beforehand. Even if one or two had been killed by others, surely they shouldn't all be gone?
But then, as if she had thought of something, Xu Xiaoyu said with a serious expression.
"Sis, I feel like we've been set up. There's an invisible hand controlling everything from the shadows."
He has learned a lot about social skills and the art of judging people.
"Silly brother, these soul beasts were obviously killed by someone. Stop dawdling. If we can't find a thousand-year-old one, let's hunt a hundred-year-old one."
Looking at her older brother, who spoke so eloquently, Xu Xiaoyan sighed and shook her head.
In fact, she sensed it through her martial spirit. The residual aura from the fight here was almost identical to the aura left at the lake, making it very clear who had hunted these soul beasts.
"Jiang Xiu...we will meet again if fate allows."
Xu Xiaoyan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she murmured to herself.
The previous Flame Lion Pack, the slaying of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the stimulation of her Martial Soul—it was impossible for her not to have a deep impression of Jiang Xiu. So now, like her older brother, she was very curious about which faction Jiang Xiu belonged to.
While thinking, Xu Xiaoyu followed in her older brother's footsteps, but she was still muttering to herself.
"I'm going to go back and tell my dad—no, I'm going to report this to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters at my own expense—this must have been a setup!"
……
"Squeak!"
The silver-white wall opened, and three soul guidance pods popped out. The hatches above opened, and Jiang Xiu and the other two slowly opened their eyes and got up.
"Congratulations to the young friends on upgrading their soul rings."
At this moment, a kind voice rang out; it was Liu, the deputy tower master who was guarding outside.
"Thank you for the gift, Master Liu."
Jiang Xiu smiled slightly and cupped his hands in greeting.
Although he knew it was because of Leng Yaozhu that the soul bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear ended up in his hands, since Vice Tower Master Liu had shown such goodwill, he didn't need to be cold towards him.
This world is not just about strength; it's also about human relationships and social dynamics.
Before he came, his master, Dong Zi'an, had vaguely told him that he would pave the way for him in the Sun and Moon Federation in the future, and that it would never be a bad thing to make more connections.
"Ah! It's all thanks to Jiang's own strength. His soul bone is a perfect match for his genius."
Deputy Tower Master Liu glanced at Jiang Xiu with interest, then waved his hand and continued speaking.
"Lord Leng asked me to test the mental strength of a few young friends. Since the others haven't come out yet, why don't we test them first?"
As he spoke, Deputy Tower Master Liu took out three brand-new soul-guided helmets for testing mental strength.
"no problem."
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly. The last time he tested his mental strength was half a year ago, and he had been busy ever since.
His cultivation level has now reached level 30, and testing his mental strength is a way of preparing for his third spirit ring.
"I'll go first!"
Na'er eagerly took the Soul Guidance Helmet and placed it steadily on her head.
Soon, the value above started jumping rapidly, breaking through 500 before slowing down and finally settling at 531.
"Miss Na'er has broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm at such a young age; she is truly gifted."
Deputy Tower Master Liu's pupils dilated, and he praised sincerely.
The Spirit Sea Realm signifies a mind as vast and boundless as the sea, capable of containing three thousand-year-old souls or one ten-thousand-year-old soul.
Even in Shrek Academy, which only accepts monsters, none of the previous Shrek Seven Devils could reach this level of mental strength at this age.
"It's so-so, boss, you should test yours quickly."
Na'er had anticipated this, and after taking off her helmet, she urged Jiang Xiu.
Vice Tower Master Liu was also very much looking forward to it. Even Na'er felt the same way. So how strong must Jiang Xiu be, whose first two soul rings had already broken through ten thousand years?
