"Boss, this isn't like you! When did you become so cowardly" Xie Xin continued to provoke Tang Wulin. 。Tang Wulin wouldn't fall for it. "This isn't cowardice, my armor has all been reforged with metal...The light in the forest began to dim, not because it was late afternoon, but because the vegetation was too dense for sunlight to penetrate. 。The air also became humid, filled with the scent of more plants. 。It already has a bit of an intermediate level Spirit Refinement Platform feel to it. 。Among the crowd, as for Tang Wulin's experience at the intermediate spirit ascension platform >>> 。He still remembers vividly the experience he had when he advanced to the intermediate realm, that was the first time he saw Master Wu fully display his overwhelming power. 。Before Master Wu's formidable combat prowess, millennium soul beasts and even ten-thousand year soul beasts fell one after another. 。Be careful everyone, my wind birds can't see much here either, the vegetation is too dense. 。"Gu Yue whispered a reminder," 。Tang Wulin slowed his pace. 。Once you get to this point, you can't just accelerate recklessly anymore. 。"Captain, if we keep going deeper, do you think we could reach the area of the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform directly" Xu Xiaoyan asked in a low voice. 。Tang Wulin shook his head, "I don't know either" 。 。" "Sure" 。The ancient moon's voice sounded again. 。"Can I" Tang Wulin turned back in surprise, looking at her. 。Gu Yue nodded at him, "The Spiritual Ascension Platforms are actually interconnected. As long as your cultivation level is below the Four Rings and you have the strength to delve deeper, there's a possibility of entering the Intermediate Spiritual Ascension Platform." 。However, to transcend this barrier, one is bound to encounter powerful Soul Beasts. 。Only by defeating powerful soul beasts is it possible to truly delve deep. 。This is probably still quite difficult for us. 。For ordinary soul masters, it's even more difficult. 。Therefore, few people can advance from the initial stage of Ascension to the intermediate stage. 。She is a member of the Spirit Transmission Tower, so she naturally knows more about the tower's secrets than others. 。Xie Xie said with some excitement, "Then we might as well give it a try." 。Let's see if we can take this opportunity to directly enter the intermediate Ascension Platform. 。“I'm afraid it won't be that easy,” 。He still clearly remembered how terrifying the soul beasts within the Lingtai were when he was promoted from middle school. 。Anything that comes out is far from comparable to the previous Fire Lion King. 。And, since the Transmission Spirit Tower was built with the Spiritual Ascension Platform... 。Then, they must have set up a barrier between the beginner and intermediate levels. 。To overcome this barrier, one would inevitably encounter formidable resistance. 。“Give it a try” 。"Gu Yue surprisingly didn't retort to Xie Xian this time." 。The frequency of spirit beasts appearing began to decrease. In this dark and deep forest, it was quiet and peaceful, but ... 。Plants are brimming with rich vitality, but without the dynamism brought by spirit beasts, they seem strangely out of place. 。Based on Tang Wulin's experience, he knew they had most likely entered the territory of some powerful soul beast again. 。And this should be far beyond the existence of a flame lion. 。because 。In this area, even the chirping of insects and birds has become scarce. 。In this situation, they seemed to have encountered it once before. 。Tang Wulin whispered, "Xie Xie, do you remember the first time we entered the Spirit Awakening Platform during the Uprising" 。Xie Xie said, “Of course I remember! We were so lucky that time. Thanks to the Man-faced Demon Spider’s silk, we absorbed so much spiritual energy, and you even ascended for the first time!” 。"Then, how did you leave" 。"Do you remember" Xie Xie shivered, his clever mind immediately understanding why Tang Wulin had asked that. "You mean, this is..."Tang Wulin chuckled bitterly, "It feels like it, I hope it's not." 。Xie Xie almost instinctively retreated to Tang Wulin's side, a hint of fear in his eyes. He still clearly remembered that during the disturbance at the Spirit Pagoda's ascension platform... 。That kind of coldness cutting through the body, easily shredding one's own feelings. 。Later, he had a nightmare for a whole month before gradually getting rid of that fear. 。In the following years, they never encountered that soul beast again, but Xie still clearly remembered the fear the soul beast had instilled in him. 。"What do you mean" Gu Yue asked in a low voice. 。Tang Wulin nodded. 。Gu Yue's eyes also became somewhat heavy. 。The surrounding forest seemed to grow darker at this moment, an intangible pressure seeming to surge towards them from all directions. 。Xie Xian's palm was a bit sweaty, and his breath was a little uneven. 。"How about we change direction" Xie Xie whispered. 。Tang Wulin said in a deep voice, "There are some things that cannot be avoided. If you don't have the courage to face it, then it will always be a shadow in your heart." 。Only by defeating it can you go further, truly becoming a strong person. 。Xie Xie smiled wryly, "Easy for you to say, but..." He hadn't even finished speaking when suddenly, Tang Wulin shot his arms up and stopped his companions 。< At the same time, with slightly narrowed eyes, he looked in one direction to his side. > 。In this vast forest, his senses were the sharpest. Through the connection between the silverleaf and the surrounding plants, he could faintly feel things that others couldn't, such as, for example, the fear of the plants. 。"Come out!" Tang Wulin shouted. 。Gu Yue was like she understood his thoughts, a fireball with faint trailing flames, drew an arc and shot towards where Tang Wulin was looking. 。As the fireball was about to plunge into the forest, suddenly a dark shadow flashed by, and the fireball exploded with a bang, scattering into a cloud of flames in the air. 。A majestic figure also stepped out from the shadows. 。Seeing it, Xie Xhe instantly gasped, the Guanglong dagger and Yinglong dagger simultaneously leaping into his hands, his body trembling slightly. 。The towering figure stood over three meters tall, its entire body covered in dark golden fur. Its eyes held no emotion, filled only with coldness and cruelty. 。Its arms were exceptionally large and muscular, with both foreclaws being dark gold blades that measured over a meter in length. 。A pair of thick arms spread out, the claws merely following his body as they cut through the air, each movement producing a faint hissing sound. 。Tang Wulin's pupils contracted, and he said in a low voice: "Dark Golden Terror Bear" 。“ If they were asked to recall the most undesirable enemy they encountered in the Junior Spirit Ascension Stage over the past three and a half years, there was no doubt that it would be this Dark Gold Clawed Bear. ” 。The first time he encountered it, Tang Wulin saw with his own eyes that the fire lion group bowed to it obediently like kittens. 。And his golden dragon claws also failed for the first time. 。That memory was very deep for Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin didn't have any less impression of it. Time flies, more than three years have passed, they haven't encountered the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear again, and even almost forgot about its strength. 。And just today, they finally ran into each other again. 。The Dark Gold Claw Bear is extremely powerful in terms of attack, defense, and speed. It's a terrifying force in close combat and possesses super-powerful explosive power at a distance. 。Among all top-tier soul beasts, it has always been among the best. 。This is a terrifying soul beast capable of going toe-to-toe with a real dragon! The dark golden terror claw bear's cold eyes stared at them, and red began to appear in its pupils, revealing a bloodthirsty gleam. 。It took slow, deliberate steps towards them, its auburn fur shimmering like liquid gold. 。Tang Wulin said in a deep voice: "I'm at the front, you support me." 。I lost, you guys just return 。As he spoke, he strode forward, heading straight for the dark golden claw bear. At first, his steps were slow, but soon Tang Wulin was running. 。Fearless! Looking at Tang Wulin's back, Xie Xie suddenly felt a pang of shame in his heart. Every time they encountered danger, he was always the one charging ahead. This time, he couldn't let that happen again!Thinking to himself, Xie Xie suddenly accelerated and circled around from the side, charging out. 。A circle of ice wheels rose into the air, drawing an arc and flying towards the dark golden clawed bear first. 。At the same time, the elemental molecules in the air suddenly became agitated, with different properties gathering in the air. 。Zero Squad has finally encountered their strongest opponent. 。Tang Wulin strode forward, getting closer and closer to the dark gold claw bear. However, the dark gold claw bear suddenly stopped in its tracks. 。The ice wheel fell, landing directly above its head. It didn't even glance at it. The intense cold spread throughout its body, but it only added a layer of frost to its surface. 。"Roar!" In a bellow of rage, the Dark Gold Terror Bear swung its right arm out suddenly. Its massive claw swept across, heading straight for Tang Wulin. 。The restrictions of Byakugan had no effect on him. 。Tang Wulin's right arm swelled, and a golden dragon claw emerged. 。In terms of size, it is still far inferior to the opponent's Dark Gold Claw. But now, Tang Wulin is no longer who he was three years ago. 。"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing rang out, Tang Wulin staggering back seven or eight steps before barely managing to regain his footing. 。but he didn't fall 。When he first encountered the century-old dark gold claw bear, he was directly blasted away by a single claw from the opponent. 。Looking down at his own Golden Dragon Claws, they seemed unharmed and unchanged. However, in the instant of their collision, Tang Wulin could clearly feel a surge in his soul power consumption. 。(To be continued) 。)
