Luo Guixing said softly, "That kind of liking might not be the type you are imagining..."
However, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan almost simultaneously turned to look at him, saying coldly, "How do you know it's not that kind of liking..."
Choked up, Luo Guixing said resentfully, "Uh... let's just say... I didn't say anything!"
Indeed, a man like Teacher Xu, with strong abilities, good looks, and, importantly, a gentle demeanor, was simply irresistible to women!
Even Teacher Shen was utterly captivated by him, not to mention these young female students!
Yuanen Yehui snapped back to reality, quickly glanced over the group, and frowned, "Tang Wulin, didn't you say there would be seven of us including me? Who is this...?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately realized she had misunderstood and explained, "Ye Hui, you're mistaken. Xu Xiaoyan is just coming along to watch; she already obtained her Spirit Soul not long ago."
If Yuanen Yehui felt annoyed, then this attempt at tackling the tower might go down the drain!
After hearing this explanation, Yuanen Yehui's expression softened somewhat...
Seeing that they didn't have much else to say, Xu Sheng smiled, "It's getting late; let's set off!"
The rest nodded their heads and quickly moved towards the Spirit Pagoda headquarters...
It took them only half an hour to reach their destination!
...
Spirit Pagoda headquarters!
As soon as they stepped in, they were enveloped by an air of luxury...
At a glance, the buildings around them shimmered with a conspicuous glow, clearly constructed with precious materials!
The colossal pillar in the middle was particularly daunting!
Wei Xiaofeng exclaimed in surprise, "Hiss... Is this the Spirit Pagoda headquarters? It seems much more luxurious than an ordinary Spirit Pagoda!"
Gu Yue nodded, "Correct! This is the core of all branches; naturally, it has to be grander!"
Tang Wulin said excitedly, "There are Spirit Pagoda staff over there; let's hurry over!"
No sooner had they approached than a male staff member looked towards them and asked Xu Sheng, "Who might you be?"
Xu Sheng smiled, "I am a teacher from Shrek Academy, here to lead these students in challenging the tower!"
After speaking, he casually took out the badge of Shrek Academy...
Seeing this, the staff member was shocked, thinking, "This man is a teacher from Shrek Academy? He looks so young!"
Regaining his composure, he tried to calm his emotions and respectfully said, "Certainly, before you challenge the tower, we need to register the identities of you and the students!"
Xu Sheng nodded, "Yes, please go ahead."
Swiftly, the staff member went through with everyone's identity registration, and then said again, "Registration is complete. Please follow me."
After these words, Xu Sheng and the others followed him...
Before long, they arrived in front of a red elevator. The staff member took out his badge from his chest and swiped it...
With a "beep," the indicator light on top of the red elevator turned green, and the doors slowly opened...
Tang Wulin said in surprise, "Isn't this the elevator only for use by internal members of the Spirit Pagoda?"
Xie Xie said irritably, "Idiot, Teacher Xu is a teacher at Shrek Academy, of course his status is not low!"
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes twinkled, explaining, "The red elevator is not only for internal staff but also for welcoming distinguished guests."
Upon hearing this, the staff member looked at Gu Yue in astonishment and said in a gentle voice, "It seems this student knows quite a lot about our Spirit Pagoda."
Unfazed, Gu Yue replied, "Yes, I've done some research in advance!"
For this organization that pushed soul beasts to the brink of extinction, she naturally wanted to deeply understand it!
After the conversation ended, a group of people entered the elevator, beginning to ascend slowly…
Since the elevator was made of transparent glass, one could see the clouds hanging midair and the somewhat blurry Shrek City below…
For a moment, Tang Wulin and the others were so captivated by this beautiful sight...
It wasn't until the elevator came to a halt that they snapped back to reality…
Quickly stepping out of the door, the staff member led them while explaining, "This elevator allows you to traverse the entire Spirit Pagoda headquarters, and the Soul Spirit Tower is not far ahead!"
Zhang Yangzi clenched his fist, "We're finally there, I'm a little excited just thinking about it!"
Gu Yue glanced at him, "Shouldn't you be nervous? Whether we can get a Spirit Soul at a very low price depends on how many floors we can challenge in the tower!"
Xie Xie smiled, "Isn't Ye Hui with us? Her soul power rank has already reached Soul Ancestor, so there shouldn't be a big problem!"
Wang Jinxi confidently said, "Exactly, and besides, this time we have a total of seven people, so we should at least make it to the tenth floor!"
No matter how difficult the Soul Spirit Tower was, the difficulty of the first fifteen floors would not surpass that of a thousand-year soul beast!
Yuanen Yehui didn't say anything, but her calm gaze seemed to indicate that she felt no pressure at all!
Xu Sheng gently reminded them, "Don't be careless, if it were so easy to challenge the tower, people wouldn't still be spending a lot of money to buy Spirit Souls!"
Tang Wulin agreed, "Teacher Xu is right, we must be cautious. Once we're eliminated, we would have to wait a whole month to challenge it again!"
As they discussed, a light door emitting a golden glow appeared before them…
The staff member stopped walking and patiently explained, "Inside this light door is the Soul Spirit Tower, so the seven students who wish to challenge it, please enter!"
If more than seven people entered, it would cause the Soul Spirit Tower to malfunction…
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan blinked her amber-colored Beautiful Eyes and obediently stood beside Xu Sheng…
Obviously, she was not participating in this tower challenge…
Seeing this, the others didn't make a fuss and cast a glance towards Teacher Xu and Xiao Yan…
"Teacher Xu, Xiao Yan, we'll go ahead and enter!"
Following Tang Wulin's words, they each entered the light door…
In an instant, intense golden light enveloped everything, and both the figures of the people and the light door disappeared…
The staff member took a deep breath, turned to Xu Sheng and Xiao Yan, and said, "Please come with me to the rest area to wait. There, you can observe their progress in the Soul Spirit Tower!"
Xu Sheng smiled faintly, "Understood!"
…
Upon entering the Soul Spirit Tower, Tang Wulin and the others felt a momentary daze, and when they opened their eyes again, an incredibly illusory scene appeared before them.
It was a tower formed by light and shadows, seemingly suspended above the clouds, with the colossal structure extending upward, layer by layer…
Undoubtedly, this was the Soul Spirit Tower!!
