Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 73 Post-War Summary

"Yes!" Zhang Yangzi replied somewhat awkwardly, standing up. "My performance yesterday was absolutely terrible, Teacher Wu, I was wrong."

Wu Changkong waved his hand, "There's no need to admit your mistakes to me. Your life is your own. You still have a chance to admit your mistakes. If you were really in the Soul Beast Forest yesterday, you would be a corpse now, or even nothing at all. This applies to your feelings about the Ascension Platform, and it also applies to your own feelings."

Zhang Yangzi's facial muscles twitched awkwardly. "The world of the Spirit Ascension Platform is too real. I can't feel any illusions inside. So, I was very curious when I first entered. I climbed the tree to see further. Also, my martial soul has a certain gliding ability. I felt that I could fly in multiple directions from the top of the tree and also observe everything around me better."

"So, at the beginning, I didn't make any mistakes. My mistake was that I underestimated my surroundings and was arrogant. I didn't understand the attack characteristics of soul beasts and acted rashly, which made me the target of everyone's attacks and thus I was eliminated from the battlefield."

"Next time I go to the Ascension Platform, I will be extra careful and try my best to protect myself and survive for a longer period of time."

After saying this, he sat down again.

Wu Changkong offered no comment, turning instead to Wang Jinxi, "And you?"

Wang Jinxi smiled bitterly, "Teacher Wu, I don't remember much else now. I only remember the face that fell from above my head, and then that coldness that seemed to freeze my soul. They are like my nightmares, always haunting me. I don't know what will happen if I encounter them again next time."

Wu Changkong said, "You need to relax now. You will gradually get better in a few days. Your situation is quite special. The Human-Faced Demon Spider is an extremely rare and powerful soul beast. It can hunt down a thousand-year-old soul beast with only a hundred years of cultivation. It is not shameful to die at its hands. But remember, if you encounter this kind of soul beast again, press the rescue signal device immediately. This time, it was dangerous for you to be killed by it directly in the Spirit Ascension Platform."

A dance teacher is comforting someone? That's extremely rare!

"Thank you, teacher."

The dance in the sky turns towards the ancient moon.

Gu Yue said, "The Spirit Ascension Platform is a very realistic world. I feel as if I have really entered an ancient forest. I think I like it there, I like it very much. In battle, the soul beasts are very realistic, and everything seems to be no different from the real thing."

"That's all?" Seeing Gu Yue sit down again, Wu Changkong frowned slightly. He was already angry when Gu Yue withdrew on her own. The qualifications for the Spirit Ascension Platform are rare. Even at the initial level, an ordinary family might never be able to go even once in their lifetime. But Gu Yue withdrew on her own because of her conflict with Gu You. It was simply outrageous.

Gu Yue nodded.

Wu Changkong said, "Then explain to me why you withdrew from the Spirit Ascension Platform without permission? Even if there was a conflict first, you could have mediated it afterward. Do you know how rare that opportunity was?!"

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and said, "Teacher! I was wrong. I shouldn't have wasted this opportunity and let the school down."

Wu Changkong glanced coldly, not pressing the matter further, and instead turned to Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, "It's your turn."

The two stood up, and Xie Xie spoke first. He sounded very excited because he and Tang Wulin had both performed very well in the Spirit Ascension Platform. He was sure that their teacher would praise him. "Teacher Wu, I also really like that place. The feeling of hunting spirit beasts in the forest is amazing. That kind of environment is especially suitable for us agility-type battle spirit masters. If I could be a little faster, my survival ability would be even stronger."

Tang Wulin added, "The feeling of the forest is very real. Although I know it's an illusion, once I'm deep inside, I unconsciously start to think it's real. The feeling of being injured is also very painful. The realism of fighting with soul beasts is very helpful for improving our combat skills. I think that by training in this kind of place, we can become true soul masters. I think we need to further strengthen our cooperation in the future. Only with perfect teamwork can we use the power of the group to fight against soul beasts stronger than us and continue to explore opportunities in the Spirit Ascension Platform."

After listening to the five people's speeches, Wu Changkong nodded.

He finally saw Gu You, who unconsciously stood up and stood at attention! He said in a clear and resounding voice, "Teacher Wu, this journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform has taught me one thing: strength doesn't determine everything. Even when facing a weaker opponent, it can still lead to a defeat."

Wu Changkong asked curiously, "Why did you die from exhaustion of your soul power and some mental trauma after absorbing energy after killing the Millennium Crystal Bear?" Everyone was curious; the way he fainted was too bizarre.

At this moment, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were stunned. The Millennium Crystal Bear was killed by Gu You? Doesn't that mean that the two of them took advantage of Gu You?

Xie Xie was so moved that tears almost welled up in his eyes. Tang Wulin's gaze towards Gu You also changed. He still remembered Old Tang's instructions, but the current situation and the soul ring upgrade were all rooted in Gu You killing the Crystal Bear. They found it and absorbed it. Moreover, after this incident, Gu You didn't say much on the way back to school, leading them to think it was just good luck. Little did they know... someone had been carrying the burden all along!

Tang Wulin's eyes changed; he was determined to befriend Gu You.

Gu Yue looked disdainful, feeling a bit aggrieved, like a modern-day fairy. Everyone was concerned about Gu You, but no one cared about her, the victim! Being forced to call someone "brother"! Who wouldn't feel immense anger after encountering such a despicable thing in a strange situation?!

"Teacher, my whole experiment went wrong. I was thinking about whether I could integrate that energy into my spiritual sea and take it out, but the result was... you should know." Gu You scratched the back of his head unintentionally.

This… Wu Changkong was speechless. Where did this scientific researcher come from? Taking the energy of the Spirit Ascension Platform out of the country, is that something a normal person would think of? In the future, without your, Gu You, preemptively certifying and testing the technology, the Federation will not pay any attention to future technological experiments.

"If I were to grade you all during this Spirit Ascension Training, Zhang Yangzi would get zero points, Wang Jinxi one point, Gu Yue zero points, Xie Xie five points, Tang Wulin five points, and Gu You three points!"

Zhang Yangzi had a premonition about his low score, as did Wang Jinxi. Xie Xie proudly puffed out his chest, and Tang Wulin was also excited, after all, who doesn't want to be praised? But when Wu Changkong said that Gu You only had three points, which was not as good as Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, everyone couldn't help but show surprise.

You have to understand that with Gu You's current abilities, killing a thousand-year-old soul beast with a single punch, even if there are some errors, is at least a 4 out of 10!
