Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 174 Rampage
Watching Shen Yi and Wu Changkong leave, Lin Xingyu slowly walked up to the podium.

The moment he stood on the podium, the noise in the classroom instantly disappeared, and everyone's eyes were on him.

Even though he hadn't been in class for several months, the moment he stood up, he immediately became the center of attention.

Shrek Academy ultimately adheres to the principle of "winner takes all," and the strong receive preferential treatment. As long as you are strong enough, nothing is a problem.

Lin Xingyu only showed off his martial spirit after returning, and everyone in the class immediately became obedient.

"Everyone is well aware of the dangers within the Spirit Ascension Platform, so I won't repeat them. Here, I'll simply explain the team formation plan. All students who can complete the absorption of one thousand years of spiritual energy, please stand up."

As soon as Lin Xingyu finished speaking, more than sixty students in the class stood up, leaving less than forty others.

He nodded with some satisfaction; after all, the quality of this batch of trainees was quite good.

"Alright, those who can withstand spiritual power for more than two thousand years, please stand up."

Only about twenty people remained standing in the arena.

The team consists of seven people entering together. Each person has a certain limit to the spiritual energy they can absorb. If one or two people can absorb spiritual energy for two thousand years, it can basically ensure that everyone in the team can absorb it safely.

"I won't go into detail about team formation. Those who have been absorbing spiritual energy for less than a thousand years can find these standing classmates to form teams themselves."

"First, complete your basic assessment tasks. If you want to improve your score, then we'll talk about the rest."

"This assessment will be conducted at the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. Everyone should try to stick together and ensure that everyone absorbs the maximum amount of spiritual energy, as this is a rare opportunity."

"For this team formation, we'll try to distribute the stronger students as evenly as possible."

For these low-level Soul Masters, the power of a team is considerable.

Often, a team of several Soul Masters can take down a Soul Grandmaster.

Therefore, it is not a burden for a strong person to bring along several Soul Masters, because there is no need for spiritual power, and they are actually quite excellent fighters.

Lin Xingyu glanced at the twenty or so people standing in the class; these were the more outstanding students.

Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, Xu Xiaoyan, Yang Nianxia...

Most of them were old acquaintances.

Tang Wulin, needless to say, possessed a physique that was strong enough due to his Golden Dragon King bloodline; all he lacked was a bit of spiritual power.

If his mental strength is sufficient, he has a good chance of directly taking on four black spirit rings.

Gu Yue's mental strength is currently in a Schrödinger's cat state, and as for his physical fitness, it depends on who he is compared to.

Anyway, if she needs spiritual power, it's definitely more than just a little bit.

Among the remaining people, Xu Xiaoyan surprised Lin Xingyu.

Before she entered Shrek Academy, her spirit rings had already reached the limit that she could bear.

Now that it can withstand so much spiritual power, it seems that it has made considerable progress in the past year or so.

After arranging the general situation of the class, Lin Xingyu did not inquire about the rest in detail.

Each person's situation has already been revealed. If you still can't form a team under these circumstances, then it's your own problem.

He can't be a nanny who takes care of everything.

the next day.

Shen Yi and Wu Changkong led the students of Class 1, Grade 1, directly to the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda in Shrek City.

It's not unusual for over a hundred people to enter the Spirit Pagoda together, considering how many Soul Masters come and go here every day.

It is quite rare for everyone to enter the Ascension Platform together.

There were only a few hundred spots available at the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period, and they immediately took up a significant portion of them.

The scene was actually quite spectacular.

The person in charge of receiving guests at the Spirit Pagoda was surprisingly a red-haired woman who looked to be around thirty years old and had a very tall figure. She was none other than Leng Yaozhu, Gu Yue's teacher and the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda.

The relationship between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy is quite bad; to be precise, the relationship between the Pagoda Master's family and Shrek Academy is extremely poor.

Since it wasn't someone from that faction who came to greet them, and with Gu Yue here, Leng Yaozhu simply came in person.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze swept over the students of Shrek Academy, pausing for a moment when she saw Gu Yue. A smile appeared on her face, and she nodded slightly.

Then he paused slightly on Lin Xingyu, as a Soul King of this age is quite rare.

"Your Majesty, Heavenly Phoenix!" Wu Changkong stepped forward and bowed.

Leng Yaozhu nodded and said, "Follow me. The interior space of the Spirit Ascension Platform here is larger than other places, and it can accommodate more Soul Masters. The density of Soul Beasts inside is also greater. Remember to retreat in time if you encounter danger."

As Leng Yaozhu spoke, she arranged for staff to guide the more than one hundred students to their respective rooms.

A room can accommodate a maximum of seven people, which is also the maximum number of people allowed in a team.

"Everyone, line up in order and go to your respective rooms to enter the Ascension Platform," Wu Changkong said to the more than one hundred students behind him.

Lying in the corresponding instrument compartment, the staff around me skillfully connected the instruments and equipment one by one, and the light in front of me vanished instantly.

……

The intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform was built in imitation of the Star Dou Great Forest mixed zone from ten thousand years ago. Compared with other Spirit Ascension Platforms, this one has a larger space and a higher density of soul beasts.

Feeling the vibrant natural atmosphere around him, Lin Xingyu took two deep breaths, enjoying the sensation.

The intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform in Shrek City felt much more real to him than those in other cities.

Although he had basically visited all eighteen celestial pillars, this was actually his first time here.

Based on this reality, it's unclear whether the Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform is already a real small space.

After all, as far as he knew, each faction controlled quite a few small spaces.

"Squad leader, what should we do next?"

Zhang Yangzi asked excitedly, "There are six people with Lin Xingyu this time."

Thanks to Lin Xingyu's recruitment efforts, Xu Lizhi, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, Wu Siduo, and Ye Xinglan have become quite familiar with each other.

The team's maximum size this time is seven people, and Lin Xingyu has never felt good about kicking anyone out in the past.

In addition, while the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform is quite dangerous for others, it's not so bad for him.

With his mental strength and magnetic field power, finding someone here wouldn't be too difficult.

So he simply grabbed his two old classmates, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, and randomly picked four random passersby, and decided to take them on a trip.

After entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, they joined the others. These individuals seemed quite excited after being chosen by Lin Xingyu.

"Yangzi, you go first to scout. The rest of you absorb a thousand years' worth of spiritual energy and complete your basic tasks. Then, proceed in order."

"it is good!"

None of them had any objections to Lin Xingyu's arrangements.

Accompanied by a familiar eagle cry, a small black eagle soared into the sky.

Lin Xingyu's mental energy and magnetic field power directly covered the surrounding area.

He raised an eyebrow. "We're pretty lucky. There's a five-thousand-year-old Earth Demon Rhinoceros not far from here!"

Although the density of soul beasts on the Spirit Ascension Platform had increased significantly during the riot period, it was still somewhat unexpected that he would run into a five-thousand-year-old soul beast as soon as he entered.

"Earth Demon Rhinoceros?" Zhang Yangzi was immediately surprised, as none of the people present were unfamiliar with this kind of soul beast.

During entrance exams, the first thing you'll encounter in practice is almost always this thing.

"go!"

Lin Xingyu led the group directly towards the location of the Earth Demon Rhino.

……

Holding the long spear in his hand, and looking at the Earth Demon Rhino charging directly at them from not far away, Lin Xingyu's first spirit ring lit up.

The power of the magnetic field instantly condensed in his hand. Regardless of what his first soul skill really was, he still had to put on an act in public.

An invisible magnetic field gathered around him, and the powerful force directly distorted the surrounding air.

As the earth rumbled, Lin Xingyu neither dodged nor evaded the charging Earth Demon Rhino. His magnetic field power influenced the Earth Demon Rhino's evasive maneuvers, slowing the soul beast's speed considerably.

It slammed down head-on, straight down.

boom!
With a loud bang, the charging Earth Demon Rhino was stopped by him. Lin Xingyu simply flicked upwards, and the enormous force directly overturned the charging soul beast.

With a gentle flick of his weapon, a flash of cold light appeared, and a huge gash was ripped open in the soul beast in front of him, pinning it to the ground in the process.

Unlike guns, lances are better suited for direct, head-on attacks.

Looking at the soul beast that had been overturned to the ground, Wang Jinxi couldn't help but swallow hard.

How cruel!

This was a soul beast with five thousand years of cultivation. It used a soul skill directly and, relying on its own power, nearly killed it in two hits.

Even for a Soul King, this is a bit outrageous!

"Don't just stand there, get started!"

Wang Jinxi wasn't the only one stunned; the remaining few people were also taken aback. As Lin Xingyu's voice rang out, they snapped out of their daze.

Wang Jinxi stepped forward, his right hand transforming into a giant dragon claw, and swung down hard, ending the life of the Earth Demon Rhinoceros that was pinned to the ground.

outside world.

Looking at the ball of spiritual energy above Wang Jinxi's head, Wu Changkong smiled helplessly.

"Lin Xingyu's strength is too great. He can do whatever he wants in the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. Even the guardians at the innermost level are probably no match for him. I wonder if his battle armor is complete. If it is, he can directly enter the inner academy. This exam can be said to have no training effect at all."

Standing to the side, Shen Yi smiled and said, "Although this assessment has an element of assessment, it is mainly to give them some benefits so that they can improve their souls and absorb more spiritual energy. That would be good enough."

"Furthermore, having him lead the classmates to cultivate some spiritual power is also a good approach, although his power is indeed a bit outrageous."

Wu Changkong nodded helplessly: "Although he has already used his soul skill, his strength is probably far beyond mine. If we add his battle armor, even just a set of ordinary one-word battle armor, he is probably already on par with me now."

Keep in mind that he is already a high-level Soul Saint, and will soon become a Soul Douluo. In addition, his battle armor has been nurtured for so many years, so its spirituality is quite abundant.

A few years ago, he had a mental block that caused his cultivation to be very slow. In the past two years, after entering Shrek Academy, half of his mental block has been resolved, and his soul power cultivation has also returned to a normal speed.

Shen Yi, standing to the side, nodded somewhat awkwardly. If nothing unexpected happened, she was no longer a match for her student.

A silence fell between the two of them.

This assessment was indeed largely aimed at giving benefits to their trainees, because it wouldn't work if every assessment was like last year's without much reward.

Just like how the two of them often play the good cop and the bad cop, there must be some benefits to it. If there were no benefits at all in the academy...

If you only talk about honors, even the deepest feelings for the college will be worn away.

There are methods to cultivate a sense of belonging to the college.

Of course, even when giving benefits to your students, you have to be tactful. You can't just give them freebies; you have to let them experience the process of striving for success so that it will leave a deeper impression on them.

Furthermore, hunting soul beasts with a total age of over ten thousand years requires a certain level of strength, and there are also a large number of other soul masters in the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Even the worst Soul Masters here are still Soul Masters, so competing with them is quite stressful, and this pressure is also set for the elimination quota.

The reason why so many students apply to Shrek Academy every three years is not only due to its status and glory, but also because it has abundant resources.

Whether it's the top-tier simulation training ground he established that basically covers all types of martial souls, or the various benefits offered to the students.

With contribution points, a spot on the Spirit Ascension Platform, and free meals at the restaurant, the environment here is excellent enough for most Soul Masters.

……

Leng Yaozhu was also watching the assessment video.

First, he carefully observed the environment of Guyue, and then he was immediately attracted by Lin Xingyu's assessment scene.

Whether it was the five black spirit rings on his body or the violence of smashing a five-thousand-year-old spirit beast with a single blow, both directly attracted her attention.

"His soul power is around level 57... He should still be under 15 years old..." After assessing Lin Xingyu's soul power level, he recalled his information.

Leng Yaozhu fell silent for a moment. What level of soul power did she have when she was fifteen?

Thinking back to the powerful figures of his generation, their cultivation speed was already on par with Yun Ming's, which could be described as ridiculously fast.

Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but take a deep breath, shifting her attention away from Gu Yue and focusing it on Lin Xingyu.

……

Inside the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform, Lin Xingyu skillfully launched a sweeping massacre.

With its powerful physique, it was a complete dimensional reduction attack against these thousands of years old soul beasts.

He didn't even use his soul skills, relying solely on his mental magnetic field power to push his way through.
