Time quickly arrived at dusk on the second day.
The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the window into the dormitory, bathing the entire room in a warm orange-red.
Tang Wulin called everyone to his dormitory.
"Wu Lin, are the protective gears ready?"
Fang Yang asked.
Tang Wulin's lips curved into a confident smile, and he nodded slightly: "Yes, they are all ready."
He took out a pile of metallic objects from his storage spirit tool and handed them to everyone, "Tomorrow we'll be entering the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform during its riot period. Everyone, try them on first. If the size isn't right, I can still adjust them tonight."
"This is..."
Looking at the items Tang Wulin handed over, Xie Xie and the others showed surprise.
It was a vest, a metal vest. The vest was made of small, thumb-sized silver metal plates pieced together, with the connections ingeniously扣在一起.
What surprised them even more was that this clearly metal-crafted vest felt very light and had very little weight when held. It looked a bit like chainmail. Upon closer inspection, one could notice faint cloud patterns on each metal plate, imbued with a strange aura.
"So light, what material is this?" Zhang Yangzi couldn't help but ask curiously, his fingers gently tracing the metal surface.
Tang Wulin explained: "This is an extremely rare metal called Cloud Titanium. I used the Thousand Forging method to forge and purify it, ultimately crafting this set of protective gear."
He paused, his expression becoming serious: "Although it's very light, its hardness and toughness are both extremely high."
"When we enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, we will be fully scanned by instruments, and everything about us will be completely duplicated within the Spirit Ascension Platform. Wearing this will provide everyone with additional safety protection."
"Thank you!"
Hearing this, Xie Xie and the others looked at Tang Wulin gratefully.
Afterward, Xie Xie and the others began to try on the protective gear. The size was perfect, requiring almost no adjustments.
"Alright then, everyone go back and get some good rest."
Fang Yang suggested to everyone, "Tomorrow is the final exam, so we need to conserve our energy."
"Okay!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Just like that, everyone left, returning to their respective dormitories to prepare for the upcoming final exam.
...
In the early morning, thick mist enveloped Donghai City, obscuring vision and making everything blurry.
Donghai Spirit Transfer Pagoda, usually quite deserted, was exceptionally lively today.
Due to the arrival of the Spirit Ascension Platform's riot period, many Spirit Masters gathered here, preparing to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, including visitors from other small cities.
For Spirit Masters, the combat power provided by century soul spirits and thousand-year Soul Spirits is extremely powerful.
Because of this, an entry card for a riot period Spirit Ascension Platform is expensive, even selling for millions of federal currency at auctions, and is generally only affordable by large forces.
Early in the morning, Wu Changkong brought his Zero Class students to the Donghai Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
"Remember this."
Wu Changkong's voice was extremely cold, "The riot period Spirit Ascension Platform is when the most people enter simultaneously. There, everyone is an enemy except for yourselves."
His gaze swept over each student: "You only have one thing to do, and that is—survive. Those who fail the final exam will have their holiday canceled!"
"Understood!"
The six responded in unison, their voices firm and strong.
Fang Yang and the others followed Wu Changkong. Led by a Spirit Transfer Tower Staff, they arrived at an unfamiliar room.
Unlike the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, this room was much smaller, with complex spirit tool formation patterns covering the walls, emitting faint spirit power fluctuations.
It was no longer the metal pod entry method, but a vertical, giant glass pod.
"The entry method for the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform is different from the Primary."
The Spirit Transfer Tower Staff explained, "According to the rules, carrying battle armor is not allowed when entering the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. However, considering that you are still students, the inspection will be relatively lenient."
Wu Changkong expressionlessly handed over six qualification cards.
The Spirit Transfer Tower Staff carefully checked and verified them.
"The interior of the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period is extremely dangerous. During this time, there is a high possibility of encountering top-tier Spirit Beasts of 60,000 years."
The Spirit Transfer Tower Staff warned solemnly, "Therefore, students entering the riot period Spirit Ascension Platform, please be extra careful."
"Once an accident occurs, immediately disengage from the battle. Do not be killed by a Spirit Beast, otherwise, the damage suffered will be inestimable."
With everything ready, the six entered the glass pods one by one.
As the metal rings closed and clasped their bodies, the outer glass covers slowly descended, enveloping each of the six.
"Preparing to enter!"
This was accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness, and several people simultaneously lost consciousness.
When Fang Yang regained consciousness, the surroundings were already a green World.
Lush various plants, everything felt not much different from the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
Fang Yang and the others knew very well that this place was definitely not the same as the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
Within the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, the possibility of encountering thousand-year Spirit Beasts would become extremely high, and there might even be a chance to encounter ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
However, the biggest difference from before was that this time, the six of them appeared together within the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.
"Approach me."
Fang Yang whispered, his gaze vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
"Yes!"
The other five immediately gathered closer.
"Our goal for entering the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform during this riot period is very clear."
Fang Yang looked at everyone, "First, persevere for one hour to complete the final exam task!"
"Second, hunt as many Spirit Beasts as possible to improve your spirit ring cultivation. From now on, everyone maintain maximum vigilance."
"Understood!" The five responded in unison.
Fang Yang instructed: "Wu Lin, now distribute the Cloud Titanium Light Armor to everyone."
Tang Wulin nodded upon hearing this.
He took out the Cloud Titanium Light Armor from his storage spirit tool and distributed it to everyone.
Soon, everyone except Fang Yang and Gu Yue put on their protective gear.
The metal plates glittered with a cold light in the sun, adding a sense of security to everyone.
"Begin action."
Fang Yang waved his hand, and the team immediately entered combat state.
Without any侥幸心理, Tang Wulin and the others all released their Spirits.
At the same time, in a room in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, a Spirit Transfer Tower Staff was observing the six's every move through a screen.
"These little fellows are quite good."
The Spirit Transfer Tower Staff smiled at Wu Changkong, "Well-prepared and working together seamlessly. Teacher Wu, you truly are a good instructor."
Wu Changkong nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his emerald green eyes: "Let's see their performance."
As a practical Spirit Master from Shrek Academy, Wu Changkong deeply understood that the most important quality for an excellent Spirit Master was the ability to adapt to circumstances.
This riot period Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform was fraught with danger, so he specifically only asked Fang Yang and the others to persevere for one hour, without restricting the use of any auxiliary equipment.
Among them, Wu Changkong's gaze lingered on Fang Yang and Gu Yue for a moment longer.
These two students were exceptionally talented, but unfortunately, both had already joined the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
Of course, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie also had good talent.
However, when his gaze fell on Tang Wulin, a hint of anticipation flashed in Wu Changkong's eyes.
This owner of twin spirits, the inheritor of Blue Silver Emperor and Clear Sky Hammer, was undoubtedly the best candidate for the next Tang Sect Master.
