Chapter 189 Soul Ferry
Another type is geniuses with special talents. After their identities are verified and approved by the Spirit Pagoda, they can also attempt to enter the tower. Judging from Gu Yue's statement that she can attempt to enter the tower, she should be able to handle this.
However, the people of the Spirit Pagoda were not going to be at a disadvantage. They set the way to challenge the Spirit Pagoda as a team competition with a maximum of seven people.
Even if you don't gather enough people (seven), the difficulty will not change. In addition, to prevent strong players from leading their juniors to conquer the tower, the age difference between people in the same team cannot exceed three years.
Meanwhile, to prevent strong individuals from disregarding martial ethics and forming groups to storm the tower.
The qualification to enter the Spirit Pagoda is only open to Soul Masters under the age of thirty. In other words, even if you are a direct descendant of the Spirit Pagoda, you cannot enter the pagoda to obtain Soul Spirits after the age of thirty. You can only obtain them by purchasing them.
Gu Yue thought Nan Fusheng didn't know what the Soul Tower was, so she kindly explained it to him.
Gu Yue: "The qualification review will take a few more days, let's go on our next day off. Everyone should prepare. Also, it would be best if we could gather the maximum of seven people."
That way, we can go further when we climb the tower. As for the team, we already have five people here, but we need to find two more. Do you have any recommendations?
Tang Wulin frowned and thought for a while, "If there is an age limit, then we can mainly choose from our own class or the second year."
“Yuan En Ye Hui is pretty good.” Xie Xie said shamelessly as he leaned closer.
The four of them glanced at him speechlessly. Yuan En Ye Hui was certainly good, but given the tense relationship between them now, could he really help?
“Fusheng, aren’t you on good terms with Fors? Can you ask her for help?” Just then, Gu Yue suddenly spoke up to Nan Fusheng.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's eyes lit up. Indeed, Fors's strength was undeniable. If he was willing to help, they would definitely be able to go far.
A conspiracy was brewing; that was Nan Fusheng's first thought. Why did Gu Yue suddenly specifically ask Fors to accompany him? Was it just a casual question, or was there another purpose? However…
"I can ask her if she's willing, but it shouldn't be a big problem," Nan Fusheng replied. Whatever Gu Yue's purpose, he'd accept it; it would also be a good opportunity to see what Gu Yue was really up to.
Of course, it's also possible that he's suffering from paranoia, simply judging others by his own petty standards.
“Great, then we only need to select one more person.”
Just then, Xu Xiaoyan whispered, "Um, actually, I don't want to ask anyone in our class for help."
Upon hearing this, the four looked at her in surprise, "Why?"
Xu Xiaoyan said, "Everyone in our class is actually a competitor. In the first year, 10% will be eliminated. I don't want my acquired soul spirit to be exposed so early."
The time for climbing the tower is something we can decide ourselves, and I don't want them to know about my Star Wheel Ice Staff too early. It wouldn't be good for my final exams.
Her lack of personal strength makes her very cautious when considering these issues, and she tries her best to maintain her advantages.
Actually, if she could, she wouldn't even want to invite Fors, since they were rivals in love. But looking at Nan Fusheng's expression, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Forget it, with Fors's abilities, passing the final exam should be a piece of cake. And given her personality, she won't go around spreading rumors." Xu Xiaoyan comforted herself in this way.
Tang Wulin nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. In that case, we have fewer choices, only Yuanen Yehui and Le Zhengyu."
Upon hearing this, Nan Fusheng and the other three looked at him speechlessly. Xie Xie's intentions were as clear as day! You said it once, that's one thing, but you said it twice in a row. Even a fool would know there's something wrong.
Tang Wulin said, "Alright, I'll take charge of this matter. If Yuanen is unwilling, then I'll go find Le Zhengyu."
"Of course." Xie Xie nodded quickly. Although he hoped to use the excuse of teaming up to conquer the tower to ease his relationship with Yuanen Yehui, he absolutely did not want it to affect Xu Xiaoyan's acquisition of soul rings.
Improving relations with Yuanen Yehui was also Tang Wulin's idea, and Xie Xie's suggestion was just one factor among many.
Yuan Enhui was, after all, the strongest second-year student, and it wouldn't be good to keep straining their relationship, especially since they were in the wrong in that matter.
If we can use the excuse of challenging the tower to help Xu Xiaoyan obtain a soul spirit, and at the same time ease the tense relationship between us, it would be killing two birds with one stone.
……
Student life is intense and busy. Every morning, everyone can see each other and learn various subjects together in the classroom.
In the afternoon, everyone gets busy with their own things: some consolidate what they have learned, some practice on their own, some strengthen their bodies, and some learn and practice a side job.
Yes! Apart from Fors, who's such a lazy bum, everyone else is working hard at their cultivation.
Everyone has their own direction, and teachers won't guide you in that direction. If you have any questions, you can ask the relevant teacher, but before asking, you should calculate whether you have enough contribution points, or how many questions you can ask.
The new students quickly realized the immense value of contribution points. At Shrek Academy, if you have enough contribution points, you can access the best learning resources.
If you don't have enough contribution points, then I'm sorry, you'll have to earn more contribution points first or cultivate your skills on your own.
For example, a spirit-type Soul Master like Nan Fusheng can use contribution points to exchange for a cultivation space specifically suited to him. This space was built by Shrek Academy and is called the Soul Ferry.
Just from the name, you know it's not a good place; it's a special room made from thousands of skulls of fear dragons.
It can effectively train a Soul Master's mental strength, but with Nan Fusheng's current mental strength, its effect is practically negligible.
The fear dragon is a kind of sub-dragon of the earth dragon family. Its body is not strong in combat, but it is an extremely rare dragon with spiritual attributes.Possesses a powerful natal soul skill - fear, which can make the opponent stunned and thus lose combat effectiveness.
They say they won't actively hunt soul beasts, but there are quite a few rooms like this at Shrek Academy!
For example, the Senluo Wanxiang, which is suitable for plant-type soul masters to cultivate, contains a great many plants, all of which are beings that have become sentient after living for more than ten thousand years. However, although their cultivation has reached ten thousand years, they have not developed any intelligence.
During this intense and busy learning process, everyone put in their best effort, and no one wanted to be among the first to be eliminated.
This free yet intense learning atmosphere is the best way to bring out a person's full potential.
Chapter 190 'Bearing Humiliation and Heavy Burden' Nan Fusheng
Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Nan Fusheng said, "I asked Fors, and she said it's no problem."
Tang Wulin nodded: "Okay, with her help, our chances of clearing the tower will be much greater. But Fusheng, didn't Fors make any requests? Everyone's so busy, she probably won't help us for free, right?"
Upon hearing this, the others also turned their gaze to Nan Fusheng.
At this moment, Nan Fusheng also showed a bit of embarrassment, as if he was in a great predicament, but then he calmed down and said:
"It's nothing, just a small request, nothing serious. I can handle it myself, so you don't need to worry."
In reality, there were no demands. Given that lazybones's nature, how could he possibly be busy? It's just that Nan Fusheng wouldn't say it out loud, because people never cherish things that are too easily obtained.
Xu Xiaoyan was deeply moved at this moment, even though Nan Fusheng appeared quite calm. She had clearly seen his earlier conflicted expression.
However, Xu Xiaoyan didn't say anything about not wanting Fors's help. After all, Nan Fusheng had already "endured humiliation" to ask for help, so it would be unreasonable for her to refuse.
However, Xu Xiaoyan silently grasped Nan Fusheng's hand to show her determination to become stronger as soon as possible, pass the final exam, and study at Shrek Academy with Fusheng.
The others didn't say much about it. Since Nan Fusheng said he could handle it, they naturally trusted their companion.
Tang Wulin continued, "Well, I've also been to Yuanen's place. She said she's willing to accompany us through the tower, but on one condition: she also hopes to obtain the qualification to attempt the tower."
"Oh, Yuanen Yehui is already level 40?" Nan Fusheng was somewhat surprised, but considering Yuanen Yehui's talent, he felt it was only natural. After all, Yuanen Yehui had also been on the list of young geniuses, and his ranking seemed to be higher than Wu Siduo's.
"No, thank you. With Fors around, losing her won't affect us too much. We can't trouble Sister Guyue any further," Xu Xiaoyan said immediately.
Xu Xiaoyan was already very grateful that Gu Yue had helped her obtain a qualification to advance in the tower. If she were to try to get another qualification because of Yuanen Yehui's matter, she would undoubtedly have to pay a heavy price. This was something Xu Xiaoyan could not accept.
However, Gu Yue waved her hand and said, "It's no trouble at all. Yuan En Hui's strength is indeed very strong; he is definitely a top figure among offensive-type Soul Masters."
With her joining, and with Fors along the way, your chances of obtaining a soul that suits you are almost 100%. This is a condition worth considering.
Tang Wulin added, "Moreover, this is an opportunity for us to ease the tension between us and her. We all got along quite well before. Yuan Enhui has the talent to be able to enter the inner academy in the future, and since we are all work-study students, it's better to maintain a good relationship."
"I agree." Xie Xie lay on the bed, raising his hands and feet at the same time.
Xu Xiaoyan said irritably, "Of course you agreed, cleaning their doorstep, wiping their windows, and fetching water every day. So overly attentive, so unacceptable..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue and Tang Wulin both looked at Xie Xie with strange expressions and asked in unison, "What's going on with you?"
Xie Xie said, "To atone for my sins."
Tang Wulin shook his head helplessly and looked at Gu Yue again, "Wouldn't it be troublesome to apply for another spot?"
Gu Yue said, "It should be alright. I'll go after lunch tomorrow. We'll know the outcome whether it works out or not. If it really doesn't work out, losing one of her won't hurt. With Fors there, plus the rest of us, we're pretty much strong enough."
"it is good."
Whether it was due to the Spirit Pagoda's exceptional efficiency or Gu Yue's special status, Gu Yue returned to her dormitory the following evening with good news: the Spirit Pagoda had approved a second spot.
Nan Fusheng said, "Okay. Let's set the date for a weekend. What time would be suitable for us to go?"
Gu Yue thought for a moment and said, "No need to go too early, let's go after breakfast."
"it is good."
……
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the midst of busy cultivation, it was suddenly time for a rest day.
early morning.
The weather wasn't very good today; the sky was overcast, so it got light later than usual. But the work-study student dormitory was already quite lively.
After everyone had breakfast, they gathered here, but the atmosphere seemed a bit strange.
Xu Xiaoyan looked at Fors, who was chatting happily with Nan Fusheng, with a hint of anger in her eyes. The two of them were acting a little too intimately.
In particular, Fors even hugged Nan Fusheng's arm. As a girl, she was so unreserved!
Yuan Enhui stood some distance away from the others, but her gaze kept glancing at Fors from time to time. She had a deep impression of this girl who had given her a face-pinching blow as soon as they met.
Xie Xie stood there, his gaze occasionally drifting towards Yuanen Yehui, but he dared not approach, for fear of being rebuffed again.
Gu Yue and Tang Wulin stood there watching the drama unfold. At this moment, Gu Yue felt as if she had unintentionally tricked Xu Xiaoyan.
"Clap clap!" Tang Wulin clapped his hands. "Everyone's here, let's get ready to go. Before we set off, let's briefly plan our tower-climbing strategy for today. Any suggestions?"
Tang Wulin's gaze first fell on Fors. Among the group, she was the strongest in terms of individual strength. Although she had a good relationship with Nan Fusheng, Fors was ultimately not part of their small team.
Fors, holding Nan Fusheng's arm, casually said, "I don't care, as long as I help Xu Xiaoyan obtain her soul spirit, that's fine."
