Chapter 219 - Enough

But his face revealed a gratified smile; it was enough. And without Yu Tian and Lin Donghui, they had undoubtedly gained even more energy.

An emerald light shot into the sky and unleashed a joyous chirp. It appeared before Qian Lei in a flash and, without waiting for him to react, his second Soul Ring actually floated on its own. The Emerald Demon Bird flew toward the Soul Ring and disappeared.

“It… did it just replicate itself?” Qian Lei questioned aloud, flabbergasted.

“Xuanyu!”

At the same time, Lan Xuanyu dropped to the ground, no longer able to hold himself up. Qian Lei and Dong Qianqiu naturally fell as well.

It was their second time utilizing the Deep Blue Gaze. Although Deep Blue Gaze had used up all of her strength, she did not faint this time due to ample preparations; so, she personally witnessed as Lan Xuanyu used his own back to block the tree branches.

Why did he not send her back through the Gate of Summoning? She immediately understood when the white light surged into her body.

Right at this time, Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt a strange calling from within his body, as though influenced by the white light that had just entered his body. A brilliance of light flashed as a golden light left his body and appeared before him.

It looked to be illusory, but it was definitely a real existence. And it was actually a golden monkey that was only about one chi in height.

The golden monkey was obviously panicking when it saw the wound on Lan Xuanyu’s chest and started to squeak. But Lan Xuanyu was not able to hold on any longer and quickly sent Dong Qianqiu back to the Gate of Summoning beside Qian Lei before pressing the signal device. With a flash, he left the battlefield. The gold monkey transformed into a gold light and disappeared along with him.

Everything around him turned multicolored while the pain in his chest gradually disappeared.

When he felt that everything had recovered, Lan Xuanyu discovered that his rigid body felt unwell and that the pain in his chest still ached dully.

“Chiiii—” The simulation cabin door opened as fresh air poured in from the outside. Lan Xuanyu focused himself and sat upright with much difficulty.

He subconsciously rubbed his own chest.

Fifty percent of pain sensation is no joke; it truly feels too real.

“You’re out as well?” Lin Donghui and Yu Tian who were out before him surrounded him.

Lan Xuanyu laughed bitterly as he struggled up. “What a pity for the both of you! That Tree Demon is dead.”

Lin Donghui and Yu Tian looked at each other. None of them were defense-type Soul Masters and were at the frontline, so they had to bear the extremely strong first wave attack from the Tree Demon. At that time, unless they were willing to take the risk of being pierced by the tree branches, it was impossible for them to hold on until the Tree Demon died.

“You got it?” Yu Tian asked suspiciously.

Lan Xuanyu rubbed his chest. Even before waiting for him to speak up, the employee had walked forward. “This young lad is truly ferocious; he held on and was unwilling to be sent out even after the tree branch had penetrated through his chest. Young lad, you have great potential.”

There were definitely uncertain dangers in the Spirit Ascension Platform, so naturally, there would be Spirit Pagoda employees monitoring for safety. He had personally witnessed how the few young children had killed the 10,000-year soul beast. In fact, it was an extremely shocking scene for the employee.

He should have reported to his higher-ups when the 10,000-year Tree Demon had appeared at the outer regions of the elementary Spirit Ascension Platform area. This employee had personally witnessed the entire event.

The young children not only pulled off the successful stunt of killing the Tree Demon but even did so in a short time by relying on an explosive all-out attack. Even while watching the entire process, he still found it hard to believe. The children were too strong.

Right at this time, the other three simulation cabins opened up. Qian Lei, Liu Feng, and even Bing Tianliang woke up.

“Big Bing.” Lin Donghui and Yu Tian walked over and supported Bing Tianliang up.

Yu Tian gave him an inquisitive look. Bing Tianliang naturally knew he was asking him whether or not Lan Xuanyu had deliberately put them in that situation: preventing him and Lin Donghui from gaining the energy form the 10,000-year soul beast. This opportunity was hard to come by, and he felt unresigned to it.

Bing Tianliang tacitly shook his head.

Lan Xuanyu looked at Bing Tianliang: “Why are you guys out as well? Were there further dangers?”

Qian Lei smiled. “You’re not there, what else can we do inside? Brother Bing said he wanted to follow up with you, so here we are. Furthermore, the energy undulations from the explosions were too huge, and our exhaustion was too great. Brother Bing was afraid that even stronger soul beasts would come, so we might as well just end this round.”

Bing Tianliang walked over to Lan Xuanyu and extended his hand: “This cooperation was extremely pleasant. We are willing to continue working with you in the tests on the Mother Planet.”

Lan Xuanyu smiled and extended his hand to grasp Bing Tianliang’s. “Alright!”

He had personally witnessed how strong Bing Tianliang was, and it could be said that if not for Bing Tianliang’s explosive and powerful burst, they would not have found the 10,000-year Tree Demon’s flaw, much less accomplish what they had done. The Deep Blue Gaze was actually able to hold the Tree Demon for a moment, but it was impossible to kill or severely injure the Tree Demon in an ordinary circumstance. Ultimately, Bing Tianliang was the most important in that battle.

It was undoubtedly a good thing for them to have such a strong ally for the later tests if there were truly team battles.

And Lan Xuanyu personally liked Bing Tianliang’s straightforward character. His only desire was to grow stronger.

Bing Tianliang’s acknowledgment of Lan Xuanyu had upgraded to a whole other level after the appearance of Deep Blue Gaze. And he gave off an unfathomable feeling to him. Every time he felt as if he knew all of Lan Xuanyu’s abilities, he would display yet another new ability.

If not for Lan Xuanyu’s command, they would have long pressed the siren button to escape the Spirit Ascension Platform when faced against the 10,000-year soul beast. After all, this was not something they could control.

“Come, I’ll hand these out to you guys. You can’t use it within six months from now. But six months after that, you can head to any Spirit Pagoda, and enter the Spirit Ascension Platform again.” The employee handed them six identical cards that they had used previously to enter and gave it out individually.

Lan Xuanyu was startled, “Uncle, what is this for?”

The employee smiled. “According to the rules, there are only 10,000-year soul beasts stationed to defend at the borders between the elementary and middle level inside the Spirit Ascension Platform. This should not have happened within the elementary level of the Spirit Ascension Platform. So, these are your compensation. You guys can enter another time in the near future. But I have to inform the six of you that since you have killed a 10,000-year soul beast inside the elementary level of the Spirit Ascension Platform, I have to report this to the higher-ups. In the future, there might be Spirit Pagoda employees who will contact you. It is not a bad thing; who knows if they might even invite you to join the Spirit Pagoda. If you are willing to join the Spirit Pagoda, you might even be specially sent to the Spirit Academy to learn.”

Spirit Academy, also located on the Mother Planet, was also counted as the number one advanced educational establishment in the Federation. It was an existence only second to Shrek Academy and also had a history of almost 10,000 years.

The six youths were naturally ecstatic, as no amount of money could buy an entry into the Spirit Ascension Platform. This required connections, resources, and various sorts of coordination to obtain. Heaven Luo Academy and Ling Tian Academy were the strongest academies on Heaven Luo Planet; both had invested a great deal to be able to send the six youths into the Spirit Ascension Platform once. The chance to enter one more time was undoubtedly priceless—especially for Lan Xuanyu, who was weaker in cultivation and only had two rings, as well as Liu Feng and Qian Lei. This was extremely significant.

The six stepped out of Spirit Ascension Platform and separated. Bing Tianliang expressed his goodwill to Lan Xuanyu once again, since they would sit in the same spaceship toward Douluo planet in the coming days.
