Chapter 69: Mural

In the second match, Wu Zhangkong found all his movements seemed to have been foreseen by those seven children, leaving him unable to fight freely; had he not raised his strength to five rings, he would have been in an even more sorry state.

But he knew very well that no one else could do this; after the match ended, he personally experienced Spiritual Detection Sharing in front of Huo Yuhao and understood that Huo Yuhao had organized one attack after another.

The other side's insight, basic combat skills, and vision could not be defined by a three-ring Soul Master at all; Wu Zhangkong very much doubted that even if he suppressed his strength to Soul King level and faced Huo Yuhao alone, defeating him would take considerable effort.

As for losing?

He was still quite confident in himself; how could he possibly lose with such a big gap in levels?

Wu Zhangkong looked toward the seven people scattered in the field, practicing with each other, "But precisely because it's too perfect, there's a gap between him and the others; only Gu Yue Na can keep up with him."

"At least someone can keep up, isn't that right? True strong ones, in the end, aren't they all fighting alone? They're lucky, at least they have an opponent by their side." Luoyang Lu laughed and shook his head.

Hearing this, Wu Zhangkong did not refute, but looked at Luoyang Lu with a serious face, "They are disciples of the Donghai Spirit Pagoda Tower Master, right?"

On the Donghai side, only that Titled Douluo could teach such disciples.

Moreover, Adaptability Douluo's martial soul is of the spiritual attribute, just like Huo Yuhao; if a Super Douluo imparted combat techniques, he could barely accept this battle result... well, he still couldn't really accept it.

After all, his own teacher was also a Super Douluo.

"Not entirely." Luoyang Lu looked toward Gu Yue Na's direction.

"Gu Yue Na is a disciple of Tian Feng Guan Xia; as for Yuhao... Adaptability Guan Xia intends to send Yuhao to Headquarters, not taking him as a disciple."

"......"

Wu Zhangkong pressed his lips, temporarily setting aside some thoughts.

Tian Feng Douluo is the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda; although he succeeded thanks to his senior's legacy, he is probably not far from Rank 99 now.

A disciple of a Rank 98 Super Douluo, and a child even a Rank 95 Super Douluo dared not take as a disciple... some ideas could be discarded.

In the Spirit Pagoda, they already have bright futures.

After the battle ended, a group of students had lunch, then were led by Luoyang Lu and Wu Zhangkong to the Spirit Pagoda.

"From today on, you can go to the Spirit Ascension Platform for training every day."

Xu Xiaoyan stared wide-eyed and exclaimed, "Is this true?"

Luoyang Lu laughed and nodded; beside him, Wu Zhangkong raised an eyebrow, secretly marveling at the Spirit Pagoda's generosity.

And Xu Xiaoyan, seeing Luoyang Lu nod, was overjoyed.

She knew very well what the Spirit Ascension Platform was.

Although there is Contract Feedback, and Hereditary Spirit Souls are passed down through generations, they can be raised step by step through Contract Feedback.

But the span from ten to a hundred years is fine; from a hundred to a thousand years, the difficulty rises greatly; weak Soul Master families need time to endure, and from a thousand to ten thousand years is even harder, let alone from ten thousand to the Hundred Thousand Year Level.

It is precisely because of the appearance of the Spirit Ascension Platform that some small families occasionally get quotas, and Hereditary Spirit Souls of the Ten Thousand Year Level have become more numerous; the benefits of entering the Spirit Ascension Platform are self-evident.

As for Hundred Thousand Year Hereditary Spirit Souls... on the Donghai side, Xu Xiaoyan had not heard of any such place; probably only other regions have Hereditary Spirit Souls of that level.

And according to what Huo Yuhao knew, within a great family, Hundred Thousand Year Hereditary Spirit Souls would not be numerous.

For most Titled Douluo, reaching the Spirit Abyss Realm in Spiritual Power is the limit, and the Spirit Abyss Realm can only contain one Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Soul or one Fierce Beast Spirit Soul.

In this case, a Titled Douluo who has contained a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Soul cannot and dares not raise his own Ten Thousand Year Spirit Soul to the Hundred Thousand Year Level; he can only leave it to descendants to inherit and raise, and the descendants must be promising enough.

Moreover, unlike the situation in the original work, with Hereditary Spirit Souls, everyone wants to raise their Spirit Souls to higher ages to lay a better foundation for the younger generation.

But the difficulty of obtaining a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Soul purely through Contract Feedback is not small, so all major powers have set their sights on the Spirit Ascension Platform.

And raising a Spirit Soul of the Hundred Thousand Year Level consumes a large amount of Spirit Power from the Spirit Ascension Platform, and so many strong ones are needed that someone always misses their turn. (Zhen Hun: Not everyone is me)

Under various factors, even for some great families, a Hundred Thousand Year Hereditary Spirit Soul is a core foundation of a Soul Master family, and the number is not large.

The total number added up is quite considerable, far exceeding this era in the original work.

As for Fierce Beast Spirit Souls, they can no longer be achieved through Spirit Ascension and Contract Feedback; the number is extremely rare!

In the Spirit Pagoda ten thousand years later, Artificial Spirit Souls can reach the Hundred Thousand Year Level, but because they cannot simulate Heavenly Tribulation, they cannot reach Fierce Beast level; the current Spirit Pagoda has encountered a similar problem.

Will a Spirit Soul be struck by its own Heavenly Tribulation?

There is no such example, because they will never face Heavenly Tribulation.

The problem lies here; becoming a Hereditary Spirit Soul means the Spirit Soul is already immortal in a sense and no longer needs to suffer the tribulation of Heavenly Tribulation. But with the passage of time, everyone discovered that it seems all Fierce Beasts must undergo different Heavenly Tribulations to rise to that level; without Heavenly Tribulation, a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Soul cannot be promoted to a Fierce Beast Spirit Soul.

Just as humans without Soul Rings cannot break through to the next stage, Spirit Souls also encounter such problems, getting stuck at a boundary and unable to break through.

This is a difficult barrier the Spirit Pagoda currently finds hard to break through; someone has proposed simulating artificial Heavenly Tribulation, bypassing Lightning Tribulation, and a series of ideas, but there is no research lead yet, remaining at the conceptual stage.

If this part of the rules is also related to the Dragon God, Huo Yuhao can only say he is quite rigorous.

But loopholes can still be found.

After all, there is such an example right beside him.

Right? Tianmeng Ge didn't take a single Heavenly Tribulation, woke up from a nap, and inexplicably became a Million Year Soul Beast?

"Arrived."

Standing before the Spirit Pagoda, except for the somewhat excited Xu Xiaoyan, the other students were all calm.

After all, in a sense they are all internal personnel of the Spirit Pagoda and were already mentally prepared.

Entering the first floor, the ground of the Spirit Pagoda is paved with dark gold stone, its natural patterns colorful and gorgeous, like flowing scrolls of painting.

Looking up, huge stone pillars rise from the ground, steadily supporting a dome tens of meters high. The most astonishing thing is the colorful, lifelike murals on these stone pillars and the dome.

These murals are magnificent, with scenery and figures, seemingly recording a story; a strong sense of history comes rushing over.

Among them are three figures; one person's face is somewhat blurred, a peerless woman in white stands at his side, and in front is a handsome man in a black robe.

Tang Wu Lin was already familiar with this, and said to the few curious people beside him:

"This is the mural of the First Generation Tower Master signing a contract with the two Tower Masters, the Snow Empress of the Extreme North and Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest, representing the beginning of humans and soul beasts taking another path."

"However, this scene had no other onlookers; it was actually presented under the depiction of Vice Tower Master Di Tian."

Hearing this, Wang Jinxi thought of his own Spirit Soul and gazed silently at the mural, as if paying homage.

This scene is the origin of the current grand scene of Douluo Continent.

Zhang Yangzi said with some longing, "I heard the Tower Masters of Spirit Pagoda are all the Continent's top-tier powerhouses; I wonder if we'll have a chance to meet them."

Tang Wu Lin laughed, "That's not something we can see right now; we need to show enough potential first."

"You sure know a lot." Xie Xie glanced at Tang Wu Lin and said softly, "Did you join Spirit Pagoda too?"

"Mm!" Tang Wu Lin laughed and nodded.

On the other side, Huo Yuhao looked at the Snow Empress in the mural for a while, then shifted his gaze away.

He came back; we'll meet again in the future.

Wu Zhangkong looked at the mural, his expression somewhat complex, but he still cast a respectful gaze.

Luo Yanglu chatted a few sentences with the Receptionist, leading everyone all the way without obstruction, taking the Elevator to the Underground, and bringing the group to a room used for testing.

"Before entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, let's first conduct a Physical Quality test and a Spiritual Power Test, so I and Teacher Wu have a rough idea."
