As they stepped into the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda, they found the surroundings extravagantly decorated, exuding a sense of vastness.
Beyond that, the most captivating feature was the mural on the wall, which depicted the experiences of the Spirit Pagoda's Master, Huo Yuhao, as he fought against the Beast Tide!
However, Tang Wulin's gaze was drawn to another mural, expressing doubt, "That is..."
Long Hengxu glanced at the mural Wulin was observing and explained, "That is Dragon-fly Douluo Tang Wutong, Huo Yuhao's most beloved person. However, she was once loved by both Huo Yuhao and an Elder from the Sea God's Pavilion named Qian Yu. The outcome was losing her love forever."
"Out of deep longing, a mural of Dragon-fly Douluo Tang Wutong was placed in every Spirit Pagoda," he said.
Tang Wulin nodded thoughtfully, "I see."
Yet for some reason, he felt an intense sense of familiarity when he looked at the woman in the mural...
But on second thought, how could that be possible?
The Dragon-fly Douluo from tens of thousands of years ago, how could she possibly be related to him?
Xu Sheng raised an eyebrow curiously, "Hmm? Even Qian Yu's existence has been recorded?"
However, it didn't seem to be in a positive light...
It was at this moment that Wei Xiaofeng seemed to discover a secret. He first looked at the mural, then at Tang Wulin, and exclaimed, "Eh, don't you guys think the name Dragon-fly Douluo Tang Wutong is very similar to Tang Wulin's?"
Wang Jinxi narrowed his eyes, "Hmm! They are only one character apart. Could there be some relation between them?"
Zhang Yangzi rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Now that you mention it, Dragon-fly Douluo's eyes look exactly like they were cast from the same mold as Tang Wulin's!"
Hearing this, the curious Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue made a careful comparison of their eyes, and indeed it was true!
The former blinked her sparkling beautiful eyes in amazement, "It's true!"
The latter was also serious, "Yes! Not just very similar, but exactly the same!"
Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin skeptically, his chin propped up in contemplation, "Wulin, you couldn't possibly be a descendant of Dragon-fly Douluo, could you?"
"But that wouldn't make sense, if you were truly a descendant of Dragon-fly Douluo, why would your Martial Soul be Blue Silver Grass?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's forehead was covered in black lines...
If he really was a descendant of Dragon-fly Douluo, would he be this poor?
Xu Sheng, who knew the real situation, couldn't help but let out a light chuckle...
They were turning a sibling relationship into a mother-son relationship...
Long Hengxu waved his hand dismissively, "Stop the wild guesses; we can't deduce anything from a mural alone! Let's move on."
Having said that, he once again led everyone into the elevator filled with a sense of technology, descending slowly...
Minutes later, they arrived outside the hall and followed the staff member into a silver-white room...
The staff member's gaze turned to Xu Sheng and Long Hengxu, "Those not entering the Spirit Ascension Platform should step back; you can follow the specific situation through the central soul-guiding screen."
After exchanging glances, Xu Sheng and the others calmly walked back and sat down...
Then the staff member quickly informed the Class Zero students about all the rules of using the Spirit Ascension Platform...
He then emphasized again, "Got it all? Everything you do must revolve around survival!"
If you're eliminated easily, it's as good as wasting a chance to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform!
Wei Xiaofeng confidently nodded, "Hmm! It doesn't sound too difficult..."
Zhang Yangzi echoed, "It's just survival; I feel like they're underestimating us!"
Gu Yue reminded, "Still, it's better not to take it lightly. Since they told us to survive at all costs, it's probably not that simple!"
Xu Xiaoyan agreed, "Yes, I also think it might not be as simple as we believe."
The staff had already said everything that needed to be reminded, so without any further hesitation, he pressed a green button...
In an instant, the entire room emitted a "buzzing" noise that was grating on the ears, and several pits appeared out of nowhere on the floor, from which rose coffin-like metallic cabinets!
These metallic cabinets were the medium for connecting to the brainwaves of Soul Masters!
After the staff had completed all this, he said sternly, "Alright! Stop discussing now. Everyone lie down on these metallic cabinets."
The members of Class Zero, who had already been impatient, walked one by one to the side of their respective cabinets and lay down horizontally...
As the other devices sealed the metallic cabinets, darkness fell before their eyes...
At the same time, the metallic cabinets close to their skin kept transmitting a tingling sensation, continuously stimulating them...
At first, they were a bit afraid, but gradually they fell into a semi-comatose state...
...
When Tang Wulin woke up from his coma, he suddenly found that the environment around him had changed dramatically...
It was a forest, a bushy forest brimming with vigorous vitality!
Not only that, but he could even see soul beasts wandering not far away!
Tang Wulin exclaimed with surprise in his eyes, "Is this the Spirit Ascension Platform? It's so realistic..."
Just by using one's eyes, it was impossible to detect any traces of virtuality!
Then, he discovered a red button on the back of his hand!
If he was not mistaken, it should be the distress signal mentioned by the staff member!
He thought to himself that it should be used only as a last resort, and as little as possible!
Thinking of this, he muttered inwardly, "If the main goal is to survive, why not just stay put?"
With that thought, he simply sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend his surroundings...
As for the other students of Class Zero, their situation was similar to Tang Wulin's!
But not everyone was so lucky, after all, the starting point could be in different places...
...
We see Wei Xiaofeng, who was sprinting with all his might, glance back at the soul beasts relentlessly pursuing him and curse, "Damn! Have these soul beasts gone mad? To chase me just like this!"
Alright, being chased was one thing, but why could he still feel pain in this virtual world?
He was incredibly frustrated in his heart!
He had just regained consciousness when he was surrounded by several soul beasts. If he hadn't found an opportunity to escape, he was afraid he wouldn't last thirty seconds before getting eliminated!
As he pondered, more soul beasts appeared in front of him. Although their Cultivation Levels were not high, there were so many of them!
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the corners of Wei Xiaofeng's mouth twitched as he said, "Damn... can't a person stop being so unlucky?"
But since there was no time to run, the only way to survive was to slaughter these soul beasts!
Having thought this, he immediately turned around and released his Martial Soul without any hesitation...
He shouted angrily, "You think I'm easy to bully?? You mere beasts, die for me!"
Having said that, he charged directly into the group of soul beasts chasing him...
