Chapter 127: Practical Experience is the Greatest Reward (Please Subscribe)_1
Hearing this sentence, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie both shrank back and stared at Xu Sheng with serious expressions on their faces…
Originally, Wang Jinxi and the other two, who didn't think much of it, also had their expressions become amused after hearing this sentence…
Although it wasn't too obvious, they still shifted their bodies a few times…
If Teacher Xu in front of them indeed was a fabrication of the Spirit Ascension Platform, then he was very likely to take action against them as well!
It was even possible that he was transformed by that guardian!
Xu Sheng's face suddenly turned gloomy as he helplessly said, "I say, you little kids, don't even recognize your own teacher?"
They really were a bunch of ungrateful brats—no sooner had he rescued them than they started doubting him!
However, Xie Xie seemed to have already concluded that Xu Sheng before them was nothing but an illusion created by the Spirit Ascension Platform and harshly retorted, "Hmph! A mere fictitious character, and you think you're fit to be my teacher?"
Tang Wulin echoed, "That's right! Don't think we don't know that Soul Masters above level forty can't enter the primary Spirit Ascension Platform!"
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, "Who are you really? Why are you impersonating Teacher Xu?"
Xu Sheng then turned his gaze to the other students of class zero, "What about you all? Do you also think I am a fabricate of the Spirit Ascension Platform?"
Wang Jinxi rubbed his head awkwardly, "Teacher Xu, it's not that we don't believe in you, it's just that the manner and circumstances of your appearance are indeed quite bizarre!"
Zhang Yangzi also spoke with a lingering fear, "Yeah! We just saw with our own eyes that you could crush a hundred-thousand-year soul beast with just the straightforward use of your Martial Soul, it's a bit too... how do I put it!"
Xu Xiaoyan blinked her eyes curiously, "So, are you saying that Teacher Xu's Soul Ring Configuration isn't actually that terrifying?"
Zhang Yangzi shook his head to interrupt, "No, that Soul Ring Configuration is definitely real!"
Knowing that any further explanation could only make things worse, Xu Sheng shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain much, generously admitting, "Alright, alright, then just consider me a figment of the Spirit Ascension Platform."
His candid demeanor made Tang Wulin and the others feel somewhat guilty…
Could this guy really be Teacher Xu??
Wang Jinxi looked towards Tang Wulin and the others, changing the subject, "Tang Wulin, did you guys see Wei Xiaofeng over there?"
Tang Wulin coughed, "Since entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, I've been standing in place, contemplating, and I haven't seen Wei Xiaofeng."
Xie Xie and Gu Yue exchanged glances, and both shook their heads to deny it!
They hadn't seen Wei Xiaofeng either!
Zhang Yangzi propped his chin in thought, "That guy might have gotten scared and hidden in some concealed place, right?"
Wang Jinxi nodded in agreement, "It's possible."
If it were him, he definitely would find a safe place to lie low and not come out!
However, right at that moment, Xu Sheng spoke in a relaxed tone, "You don't have to guess anymore. Right after Wei Xiaofeng entered the Spirit Ascension Platform, he was surrounded by dozens of soul beasts and is now watching the show from the outside world!"
Upon hearing this, all of the class zero students looked at him with a mixture of shock and bewilderment…
…
Wei Xiaofeng, sitting in the silver-white room staring at the soul guidance screen, heard Xu Sheng's mocking words and the laughter of the surrounding class zero students, his face immediately darkened as if water was about to drip from it...
Grinding his teeth, he said, "Director Long, Teacher Xu was mocking me just now, wasn't he? He definitely was mocking me!"
Long Hengxu put a hand on his shoulder, gravely saying, "Student Wei Xiaofeng, how can you speak like that about Teacher Xu? Don't doubt it, he was most certainly mocking you!"
Wei Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, "Director Long, why are you laughing at me too? It's really that damn machine's fault!"
He was wronged, wronged in capital letters!
A staff member coughed nearby, reminding him, "Student, please watch your language, or you might really attract big trouble!"
If it had been someone else saying this, he would definitely have lashed out!
But even he felt sympathy for what this child had gone through!
Wei Xiaofeng got choked up for a moment and said awkwardly, "So... sorry, I got a bit emotional!"
But underneath it all, he was still cursing, "Stupid machine, stupid machine! And to think this is the Spirit Ascension Platform!"
After regaining his composure, Long Hengxu looked at Xu Sheng, who was still not awake from his deep sleep, and curiously asked, "This is very odd, Teacher Xu didn't use that metallic cabinet to project his consciousness into the Virtual Space, so how exactly did he get in?"
Upon hearing this, a staff member beside him pushed up his glasses and said gravely, "Director Long, I think it's necessary to check this teacher's spiritual condition, as we still don't know by what method he entered the Virtual Space!"
"If we're careless, his consciousness could potentially be trapped while returning and unable to escape the Virtual Space!!"
Long Hengxu was taken aback, "Is it that serious?"
Xu Sheng was currently the darling of East Sea Academy, if something were to happen to him, wouldn't the dean kill him?
Seeing him so agitated, the staff member waved their hands to reassure him, "Of course, all of this is just my speculation, it might not happen!"
After careful consideration, Long Hengxu spoke gravely, "Regardless of whether or not this will happen, please do a check on him."
Upon hearing this, the staff member replied, "Of course!"
After all, this was also a serious neglect of duty on the part of the Spirit Pagoda!
...
Realizing that Xu Sheng in front of them was indeed real, the students of Class Zero immediately apologized, "We didn't expect it to be Teacher Xu, how reckless!"
"Cough cough... Teacher Xu, please don't mind what was said earlier, it was just a joke!"
"Yep yep! We just didn't want to see anything fake from the Spirit Ascension Platform impersonating you."
"That's right, the lofty image you hold in the eyes of us students is not to be insulted!"
Xu Sheng couldn't help but laugh, "You guys are quite honest! How quickly you change your tone!"
Zhang Yangzi chuckled twice and then asked, "Teacher Xu, since you are here as well, could you tell us where to go next?"
With Teacher Xu, a Soul Master with six rings, here, there was basically no need to worry about unexpectedly dying to a too powerful soul beast!
The other students also looked at Xu Sheng with anticipation, waiting for his response...
Xu Sheng casually scanned the area and then his lips curved into a smile...
"To the east, there is a soul beast with around two thousand years of cultivation. It should be the Guardian of this Spirit Ascension Platform. If you head there together now and coordinate well, there is a chance you can slay it!"
"Also, I'll let you in on a secret, that soul beast will drop a soul bone!"
The moment these words were uttered, everyone's eyes gleamed with excitement...
That was a soul bone! Even now, it was incredibly precious!
But at the same time, a question arose in their minds...
"Teacher Xu, it's just a two-thousand-year soul beast, why don't you simply kill it?"
Xu Sheng glanced at them and said indifferently, "This soul beast is a good training material; it's neither so strong that you stand no chance against it nor so weak that it lacks any aggressiveness."
"Real battle experience is the greatest reward the Spirit Ascension Platform can give you!"
