Chapter 1335: Breakthrough, the 10th Level! (Subscribe Please)_1
```
The staff member, having regained his composure, took a deep breath and murmured in his heart, "This matter of Shrek Academy training evil Soul Masters must be reported!"
He couldn't tolerate how Shrek Academy outwardly claimed to stand against evil Soul Masters, yet was secretly nurturing them!
These thoughts, emerging in his inner monologue, naturally didn't escape Xu Sheng's perception...
However, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted in an arc, yet he said nothing more...
The Spirit Pagoda had indeed developed to its current state thanks to its unique technology and Soul Master foundation!
But compared to the long-standing Shrek Academy, it was still considerably weaker overall!
At that moment, Xu Xiaoyan pointed to the screen in surprise and said, "Teacher Xu, look quickly, Gu Yue and the others have already reached the second level!"
Xu Sheng glanced at the screen and replied indifferently, "Mm!"
The staff member beside them had a moment of focus, seemingly seeing a good opportunity, and said with a forced smile, "Um... you two, I've just remembered some things and need to step away for a moment."
Xu Xiaoyan, puzzled, said, "Eh... but I remember that today there aren't many Soul Masters visiting the Spirit Pagoda."
With a staff member present, even if something unexpected happened to Tang Wulin and the others, they could be forcibly teleported out!
The staff member gave an awkward laugh and said, "That is an internal matter of the Spirit Pagoda, and I'm not at liberty to disclose it."
Xu Sheng looked at him intently, "If there's important business, then go ahead, we'll stay here!"
The staff member wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Thank you, my lord!"
With that, he turned and hurriedly left...
Xu Xiaoyan watched his retreating figure and narrowed her beautiful eyes, saying, "Teacher Xu, why do I feel that this guy is acting rather sneaky? Could he be off to do something shady?"
Xu Sheng replied gently, "It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't affect us!"
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan didn't say anymore and returned her focus to the screen in front of them...
...
In the Soul Spirit Tower, at the second level...
Gu Yue and the others emerged from the golden light and quickly scanned their surroundings...
They spotted a very conspicuous, heavy door, extremely similar to the scenery of the first level!
The only change seemed to be that the area of the entire level had increased slightly!
Xie Xie said with a serious tone, "We still don't know how much harder this second level is compared to the first!"
Gu Yue explained, "This second level probably isn't much harder than the first. To conserve Soul Power, let's get through it as quickly as possible!"
Tang Wulin and Yuanen Yehui nodded in agreement, "Mm!"
At that moment, the temperature in the entire space began to rise rapidly, and the eight firmly closed doors also began to ascend...
Following that, eight huge Flame Demon Lions with burning flames all over their bodies charged out from behind the doors...
Unlike the slightly sluggish Wind Wolves from the first level, the Flame Demon Lions had barely emerged when they opened their massive jaws, rapidly conjuring hot Fireballs...
Tang Wulin immediately shouted, "First soul skill, coiling!"
The light from the first soul ring at his feet lit up!
Countless resilient strands of Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground and quickly surged toward the Flame Demon Lions, accurately binding them and forcefully interrupting their attacks!
Xie Xie's eyes lit up, "Well done, Twin Dragon Blades!"
```
He saw a Light Dragon Blade materialize in his left hand and a Shadow Dragon Blade in his right. Clutching them tightly, he slashed straight at the Flame Demon Lion charging towards him...
"Buzzz~~" An ear-piercing sound of cleaving air rose as the sharp dagger instantly sliced off one...
This scene seemed to have further enraged the other seven Flame Demon Lions, which let out furious roars...
Twisting their massive bodies to break the Blue Silver Grass, they pounced towards Xie Xie from all directions, intending to trap and kill him!
Seeing this, Xie Xie said coldly, "Hmph! Think you can beat me with numbers? Dream on! Second Soul Skill, Light Dragon Storm!!"
The Second Soul Skill under his feet lit up immediately...
A strong golden Shock Wave burst forth from within him, spreading out with immense force...
Any Flame Demon Lion touched by this golden Shock Wave was sent flying back, smashing hard into the ground!
Using this opportunity, Gu Yue burst out her Soul Power from behind and using her control of earth elements, forcibly bound their limbs...
Then, a massive iceball, over ten meters in size, formed in mid-air and plummeted down with a sky-enveloping might...
"Bang!!"
A violent collision sounded, and the Flame Demon Lion that was hit instantly burst into a splatter of blood...
At the same time, a cold voice resounded again in the space, "Soul Spirit Tower second level, passed. You may choose to absorb a Spirit Soul, Flame Demon Lion!"
Looking at the golden light door that had appeared before them, Wei Xiaofeng urged, "Let's go, on to the next level! It seems this Soul Spirit Tower isn't so tough after all!"
Wang Jinxi gave him a look, "This is only the second level, what are you showing off for!"
Yuanen Yehui said coldly, "It's only after the fifth level that the real challenge starts! You can't even imagine the difficulty that lies ahead!"
Tang Wulin scratched his head and chuckled, "Yehui, don't be so pessimistic!"
With that, Yuanen Yehui was the first to enter the light door, and the others naturally followed suit...
...
Later, within a few hours, they successfully broke through to the ninth level and came to the first double-digit level!
Zhang Yangzi gasped, "Finally, the tenth floor, I'm exhausted!! I didn't expect the difficulty to have increased this much!"
Wei Xiaofeng nodded in agreement, "Exactly, this Soul Spirit Tower, it's simply no place for humans!"
Xie Xie looked at them with disdain, "I say, Zhang Yangzi, Wei Xiaofeng, you two didn't exert much effort, and still you're this tired?"
Gu Yue also said coldly, "Yeah, in most cases it was Yuanen Yehui and Tang Wulin who took action, what did you do to be so tired?"
Yuanen Yehui's face remained expressionless; after all, even a soul beast with thousands of years of cultivation was but a prey for her to slaughter at will!
However, in her eyes, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, and Wei Xiaofeng were nothing but a drag!
As for Luo Guixing, he was actually quite useful in the tower challenge!
Tang Wulin frowned, "Everyone stop arguing and stay alert; I'm afraid the difficulty of this tenth level will be much greater than before!"
By the eighth level, they were already attacked by as many as six soul beasts with thousands of years of cultivation; it was likely to get even harder going forward!
If they started infighting here, they might not be able to last until the end, possibly wasting Yuanen Yehui's effort!
Luo Guixing gulped, looking at the soul beasts exuding a terrifying aura ahead, and trembled, "Here they come!! Four... Three... Three thousand years of cultivation soul beasts!!"
This... the difficulty had increased significantly from the previous level!!
