Douluo Dragon King: My Martial Soul is Kamen Rider!

Upon hearing the notification sound indicating the test results were in, Na'er, unable to contain her excitement, immediately took off her helmet, opened the door of the testing chamber, and ran straight to the information sheet, eager to see her test data.

On the information sheet, Na'er's data is clearly visible: [Soul power solidification level is moderate, physical strength is approximately at the level of a level 30 Soul Master, and mental power is 147 points].

Looking at her stats, which far surpassed those of other Soul Masters her age, Na'er instantly became proud, her lips curving into a wide smile and her tail practically wagging in the air.

She cheerfully ran to Zhou Yang, who had just stepped out of the testing chamber and was checking his data, tugged at his sleeve, and asked curiously, "Boss, how are your health data?"

Zhou Yang glanced down at Na'er's smug expression, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. Suppressing the smile, he had the urge to tease her. He pretended to be nonchalant and said casually, "Not very tall, just average, a bit lacking."

When Na'er heard Zhou Yang's result, she was about to comfort him when she remembered the two yellow-purple soul rings on Zhou Yang's body.

With such a spirit ring, how could one's strength be ordinary?

Na'er frowned, sensing something was wrong.

She snatched the information sheet from Zhou Yang's hand and began to read it carefully. Upon seeing it, the smugness on her face instantly froze, and her expression crumbled.

Zhou Yang's data clearly states: [High level of soul power solidification, physical strength approximately at the level of a level 40 Soul Master, and mental strength of 215 points].

Not at all! This guy's cheating!!!

Looking at the data that far surpassed her own, Na'er couldn't help but pout, her cheeks puffed out, glaring at Zhou Yang with a hint of grievance in her voice: "Boss, you're lying! You're clearly so much taller than me, and you said you're just average!"

The numerical difference was somewhat discouraging for Na'er, but it also fueled her competitive spirit, after all, she had personally witnessed how Zhou Yang maintained his regular lifestyle.

Every morning, Zhou Yang personally makes breakfast (although she begs for it, and Zhou Yang softens and agrees when he sees her pitiful appearance). After breakfast, Zhou Yang goes to the nearby area for basic training, without fail.

She saw and appreciated all of Zhou Yang's efforts. Although she lost to Zhou Yang this time, she was convinced of his superiority. Her current dissatisfaction was only because Zhou Yang had deliberately lied to her.

Looking at Na'er's puffed-up face, which was so cute it was hard not to laugh, Zhou Yang finally couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and ruffled her short silver hair, gently patting it a few times, and said in a tender tone, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Our Na'er is also very capable. If you work hard in the future, you will definitely surpass me."

Ya Li, who was standing nearby, also came over and checked the test data of the two. When she saw Zhou Yang's data, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she was more impressed by Zhou Yang's talent and hard work, after all, she was also a witness.

In the world of Douluo Continent III, the most important thing is no longer just soul power, but also mental power.

Spiritual power is not only the key to the quantity of souls that can be fused, but also the key to the quality of the souls that can be possessed.

For example, a low-level Spirit Origin Realm cultivator can only fuse with one hundred-year-old soul spirit or two ten-year-old soul spirits at most.

A higher level of Spirit Realm cultivator can fuse two hundred-year-old soul spirits or one thousand-year-old soul spirit.

The difference in mental strength is immediately apparent.

If you fuse with something that exceeds your spiritual power limit, the result will be similar to absorbing a soul ring that is beyond your current level or age limit.

Therefore, mental strength is crucial for the ascension of the soul. If mental strength is insufficient, forcibly ascending the soul will only lead to excessive mental saturation. At best, it will damage the spirit; at worst, it will cause the spirit to burst, resulting in more harm than good.

Ya Li was initially worried that Zhou Yang's mental strength wouldn't be able to handle the soul ascension, so she specially arranged this examination.

Ya Li smiled and said, "Very good, Zhou Yang. I was worried that your spiritual power was not enough and that I could only bring you here later. I didn't expect your spiritual power level to be so high, which is more than enough to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform for soul ascension."

The physical examination was completed smoothly, and the staff were ready to activate the spirit-ascension platform. The wall on the other side of the private room slowly moved, and two horizontal metal cabinets slid out from the wall.

These cabinets are entirely silver-white and rectangular, with a recess inside that fits perfectly in the shape of a human. They look somewhat like coffins, exuding a sense of eeriness while also being full of technological sophistication.

"Lie down inside. These cabinets will transmit your consciousness to the Ascension Platform. Once inside, remember to protect yourselves. If there is any danger, press the survival button immediately," Yali gently instructed.

Zhou Yang and Na'er nodded and lay down in the metal cabinet one after the other. As soon as they were settled, silver metal rings popped out from inside the cabinet and precisely fastened to their limbs and torsos, securing them tightly in the grooves to prevent their bodies from swaying during the transfer of consciousness.

His consciousness gradually blurred, and the sensation in his body slowly faded. Zhou Yang felt as if he were falling into a soft cloud, floating lightly. He didn't know how much time had passed, but when he regained his senses, the scene before him had changed—

Before him lay a vibrant green, teeming with life, a stark contrast to the high-tech feel of the Spirit Pagoda's private room.

This is a dense, almost primeval forest. As far as the eye can see, there are towering ancient trees with gnarled and intertwined branches that block out the sun, cutting the sunlight into tiny spots that filter through the gaps in the leaves and fall on the ground covered with a thick layer of decaying leaves, creating a mottled and colorful scene.

The decaying leaves underfoot were soft and thick, making a soft "rustling" sound when stepped on, carrying a damp coolness that slowly spread from the soles of the shoes to the whole body; the fingertips inadvertently touched the grass blades beside them, with glistening dewdrops still hanging on the blades, the slightly cool touch delicate and refreshing, and then slid down the fingertips in an instant.

The air is filled with a rich and pure fragrance of grass and trees, mixed with the warm scent of decaying leaves and the sweet taste of morning dew in the forest. There is no noise or exhaust fumes from the city. Every breath feels like a cleansing of the lungs, making one feel completely refreshed.

Zhou Yang slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and savored this long-lost sense of nature.

In his past life, he always lived in cities of steel and concrete, surrounded by skyscrapers and bustling traffic every day, and rarely had the opportunity to embrace nature so closely.

The beauty of nature seemed to cleanse his mind and body, washing away the hustle and bustle of the city.

This kind of environment is probably what you feel like when you come out of the Ancient Tree Forest. Zhou Yang couldn't help but chuckle as he thought of the map that had caused him to get lost countless times in his early days.

His gaze slowly swept over every blade of grass and every tree around him. The veins of the leaves were clearly visible, the lines on the branches were vigorous and powerful, and even the pebbles on the ground exuded a natural texture.

It's so real, this world is just like the real thing.

Unfortunately, this wasn't a virtual game, but an intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform that cost five or six million yuan in one go. He didn't have many opportunities to experience nature, since no one knew what kind of ferocious beasts might emerge from the forest later.
