"Junior Jing, it seems we are quite fated."
Just as Jing Shaoyu was immersed in the fresh environment of the primeval forest, a familiar voice came from his ear.
Jing Shaoyu looked over and saw a boy holding a golden sickle, with a mini lion perched on his shoulder, walking towards him with a smile.
"Senior Zhu." Jing Shaoyu was taken aback, then immediately greeted him with a smile.
The boy was none other than Zhu Ziguang, the one with the highest Soul Power among their seven students.
"Since it's your first time entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, just follow me for now. I'll show you around and explain what we need to do here," Zhu Ziguang said in a friendly manner.
"No problem, then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Zhu." Jing Shaoyu didn't refuse and agreed with a smile.
"Well, you can just call me A Guang," Zhu Ziguang said with a smile, "Can I call you Shaoyu?"
"Of course." Jing Shaoyu said.
"Good, let's set off then." Zhu Ziguang revealed a satisfied smile and said, "In the Spirit Ascension Platform, our main task is to hone our combat skills and collect as much Spirit Power as possible. A Shi, go scout ahead."
The last sentence was obviously directed at his Soul Spirit. The little lion perched on his shoulder immediately darted out. Seeing this, Jing Shaoyu immediately summoned Red Jade, "Red Jade, you go too."
"Chirp~" Red Jade flapped its wings, chirped, and flew ahead as well.
"Is that little bird your Soul Spirit?" Zhu Ziguang looked at the departing Red Jade, a thoughtful look in his eyes. He said, "It looks so lively, much more lively than my A Shi."
"Maybe Red Jade is just naturally lively." Jing Shaoyu smiled and said, "Senior A Guang, your A Shi should be a Holy Light Lion, right?"
"That's right." Zhu Ziguang nodded with some pride and said, "My A Shi is a three-hundred-year Holy Light Lion, but now it has been upgraded to four hundred years."
"Really? Then you're really amazing!" Jing Shaoyu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"It's alright, mainly my luck is pretty good." Zhu Ziguang scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, right, it seems you know the rules of the Spirit Ascension Platform for upgrading Soul Spirits?"
"I've heard a little, but I don't know much." Jing Shaoyu smiled and said, "Senior A Guang, please tell me more about it."
"Sure," Zhu Ziguang said upon hearing this, and then explained, "You should know that the Spirit Ascension Platform simulates the Star Dou Great Forest of ancient times, so there are many Soul Beasts inside. After we hunt these Soul Beasts, we can obtain Spirit Power equivalent to one-tenth of their cultivation. This Spirit Power will be absorbed by our Soul Rings, thereby achieving the effect of increasing the age of the Soul Rings. And since Soul Rings come from Soul Spirits, the increase in the age of the Soul Rings will in turn benefit the Soul Spirits, causing their cultivation to increase as well."
"Yes! I know this." Jing Shaoyu nodded.
"Good, take me as an example," Zhu Ziguang continued, "My A Shi Soul Spirit currently has four hundred years of cultivation, which is almost at the limit of what I can bear. If I want to continue to increase the Soul Spirit's cultivation and the age of the Soul Rings, then I can only wait until I break through to the second Soul Ring. However, after the second Soul Ring, the Spirit Power collected in the Spirit Ascension Platform will be divided equally into two Soul Rings. In other words, if I kill a hundred-year Soul Beast, then the ten years of Spirit Power obtained will be divided into five years for each of my two Soul Rings.
If I want to evolve my A Shi into a thousand-year Soul Spirit, then I must first upgrade both of my Soul Rings to thousand-year Soul Rings. Only then can A Shi evolve to a thousand years. This means that, on the surface, A Shi is only six hundred years away from becoming a thousand-year Soul Spirit, but in reality, it requires one thousand two hundred years!"
"Understood." Jing Shaoyu revealed an expression of understanding.
"It's a pity, only I know my own situation," Zhu Ziguang sighed at the end, "If I want to evolve A Shi into a thousand-year Soul Spirit, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I become a Soul Grandmaster. By that time, it will only be more troublesome!"
"Senior A Guang, why be so pessimistic?" Jing Shaoyu said upon hearing this, comforting him, "You are only at level fifteen now, there is no need to draw conclusions too early, maybe you will encounter a lucky chance in the future."
"Haha, Shaoyu, thank you for your kind words, I also hope that I can encounter a lucky chance in the future," Zhu Ziguang laughed and said, "For example, getting a Soul Bone or something, that way my body strength should be able to increase a bit, alas, I really envy you Beast Martial Soul Soul Masters, your body strength is naturally higher than us Item Martial Soul Soul Masters!"
"Hehe, it's not bad, actually!" Jing Shaoyu laughed.
"You kid!" Zhu Ziguang scolded with a smile.
After this exchange, the relationship between the two became much closer.
Red Jade and A Shi ran back and reported the situation to their respective masters. Jing Shaoyu looked at Zhu Ziguang, and Zhu Ziguang nodded in affirmation, "Let's go!"
So the two of them walked forward quickly, and after about a hundred meters, they saw the Soul Beast that the Soul Spirit had mentioned.
Wind Baboon! Seeing this Soul Beast, Jing Shaoyu's expression instantly became interesting. Wasn't this the Wind God-Slaying Baboon? A terrifying existence that almost soloed a God King. How had it become so weak after not seeing it for ten thousand years?
"Shaoyu, stand back a bit. This is a ten-year Wind Baboon; I can handle it alone!" Zhu Ziguang shouted at Jing Shaoyu, then charged forward with his long, large golden scythe.
"Uh, underestimated, huh!" Jing Shaoyu couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, but he didn't heed Zhu Ziguang's advice. Instead, he stepped forward, extended both hands, palms down, and a faint green light flickered. In an instant, the small grass on the ground grew wildly, turning into thick, long vines that snaked along the ground like snakes, following the movements of Jing Shaoyu's fingers.
Plant Control!
"Holy Light Slash!" At this moment, Zhu Ziguang had already charged in front of the Wind Baboon. The Soul Ring behind him lit up, and the scythe in his hand was covered in golden light, fiercely descending towards the Wind Baboon's body.
Terror flashed in the Wind Baboon's eyes. It wanted to retreat and dodge, but it found that its legs couldn't move. Looking down, it saw that vines from who knows where had already bound its legs tightly, making it impossible to move even a little.
The huge scythe blade fell, and half of the Wind Baboon's body was cut off on the spot. The light in its eyes instantly faded, and it looked like it wouldn't live much longer.
"Shaoyu, come finish it off quickly." Zhu Ziguang didn't take the opportunity to finish off the Wind Baboon. Instead, he shouted towards Jing Shaoyu.
"Ah, is that appropriate?" Jing Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't contribute much effort."
"There's nothing appropriate or inappropriate about it," Zhu Ziguang waved his hand generously and said, "We're companions now, and you're a healing-type Soul Master, so there's no need to worry about these things."
"Okay, thank you." Jing Shaoyu didn't decline further. He walked to the dying Wind Baboon, raised his hand, and a vine wrapped around its neck. As his hand fell, the vine instantly tightened, snapping the Wind Baboon's neck.
"Huh?" Zhu Ziguang finally reacted at this moment and asked in surprise, "Shaoyu, were you controlling those plants all along! I was wondering why this Wind Baboon was so stupid, actually trapping itself. I didn't expect it was your doing! Aren't you a healing-type Soul Master? How can you control plants?"
"Hehe, this should be my Martial Soul's innate ability," Jing Shaoyu said, watching a white Soul Ring float out of the Wind Baboon's body. This was formed from spiritual power, and Red Jade swallowed it in one gulp. Then, he smiled and said to Zhu Ziguang, "My Martial Soul is called Origin Spirit, and I'm naturally the master of the forest."
"So that's how it is!" Zhu Ziguang suddenly understood, then said enviously, "So this is the top-tier Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power. It really is extraordinary!"
"Let's continue forward," Jing Shaoyu smiled and said, "I'll be in charge of controlling, and Senior A Guang, you'll be in charge of attacking, how's that?"
"No problem," Zhu Ziguang said, his eyes lighting up, "To be honest, my Martial Soul is good in every way, but it's not very agile. But don't worry, as long as you can control them, then I won't have any problems!"
Thus, the two cooperated and continued forward.
...
At the same time, in another part of the forest, Xu Xiaoyan hugged her Martial Soul Star Wheel Ice Staff, her face pale as she curled up in a pile of bushes. Her small face was full of fear and dread.
Not far from her was a pack of Black Wolves with green light glowing in their eyes. These ferocious Black Wolves were constantly circling around Xu Xiaoyan, occasionally letting out a chilling howl. They bared their fangs, waiting to tear apart any prey.
Xu Xiaoyan was also unlucky enough to fall into a pack of wolves as soon as she appeared. If she hadn't reacted quickly, randomly freezing a wolf and taking the opportunity to run out, she probably would have ended her Spirit Ascension Platform journey by now.
But even so, she was still targeted by this group of Black Wolves. She could only hide in the bushes now, hoping that the Black Wolves wouldn't find her. However, wolves have very sensitive noses, and it was only a matter of time before she was found.
Xu Xiaoyan felt a little desperate.
"Brother Xiaoyu, come and save me!"
