Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 48 Ascension Platform

Seeing this, Xie Xie was furious, but he also knew that pursuing her would only make him more embarrassed. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his anger, walked to his seat, sat down, and glared at Chen Gugu fiercely.

Every member of Class Zero who entered the classroom would see Xie Xie’s red cheeks and the vicious look he would give Chen Zhou from time to time.

Gu Yue, Zhang Ziyang, and Wang Jinxi all looked at this strange scene in surprise.

Is Xie Xie trying to kill himself?
Dare you look at Chenzhou like this?
In recent days, the five members of Class Zero, who were clearly the elite among the first-year elites of the entire Donghai College, were all mentally unbalanced by Chen Zhou's blow. If Wu Changkong had not adjusted in time, they would have probably collapsed mentally.

The elementalist who controls the elements is defeated by the one who uses them;
The proud bloodline power was easily crushed;

All the actions of the confident agile attacking spirit master were seen through.
What is scary is not an unbeatable enemy, but an enemy that can defeat you using the way you are best at!

But then, everyone who looked at Chen Zhou carefully discovered that a fat owl was standing on Chen Zhou's shoulder.
Or facing away?
The owl, with its back to the crowd, turned 180 degrees from time to time, blinking its big eyes and looking playfully in the direction of Xie Xie.

Oh damn, why can I understand the eyes of this owl?
In an instant, the three imaginative people couldn't help but imagine everything that had just happened, and immediately understood why Xie Xie was so angry. Gu Yue couldn't help but chuckle, while Zhang Ziyang and Wang Jinxi looked at each other, then couldn't help laughing too.

Xie Xie's expression turned even uglier when he heard the laughter. He glared at the three of them fiercely and whispered, "What are you laughing at! If you were teased by a fat bird, you would be mad too!"

Gu Yue shook her head, walked to her seat and sat down, saying softly: "Xie Xie, you are a spirit master of the agility attack system, but you can't even catch an owl. This is not like you."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie's face froze, and then he became even more annoyed: "That fat bird is not an ordinary owl! It's incredibly fast. I suspect it's Chen Zhou's spirit!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly tensed. Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Zhou.

It's not uncommon for a soul to condense and take shape, free from a soul master, but it's unheard of for a soul to possess such wisdom, even to the point of toying with a soul master. Chen Zhou still lowered his head, seemingly oblivious to the gazes around him, gently flipping through the pages of the book in his hands, his expression indifferent.

Chen Gugu seemed to sense the gazes of the crowd. It tilted its head, its large, round eyes scanning the surroundings before uttering a "Gugu" sound, as if announcing its presence. Its movements and demeanor were full of spirituality, even a hint of provocation, making one wonder if it was truly just an ordinary spirit.

Gu Yue frowned slightly, her gaze shifting between Chen Zhou and Chen Gugu. Her mental strength was extraordinary, and her perception of soul power and spirits was extremely sharp, but even so, she couldn't fully see through Chen Gugu's true nature.

This owl seems to be shrouded in a mysterious aura, making it difficult to understand.

"Chenzhou, what exactly is your soul?" Gu Yue finally couldn't help but ask. Chenzhou raised his head and glanced at Gu Yue calmly, then lowered his head and continued reading, as if he hadn't heard her question. His attitude made Gu Yue feel a little embarrassed, but she also knew that Chenzhou was always like this, indifferent to everything.

Seeing this, Xie Xie snorted coldly and whispered, "Why are you pretending? It's just a fat bird. What's so great about it?"

Chen Gugu seemed to have heard what Xie Xie said. It turned its head sharply, staring at Xie Xie with its large, round eyes, and then let out a sharp "Gugu" sound, as if responding to his provocation. Xie Xie was startled by this sudden look and subconsciously took a step back. Then, realizing his own gaffe, his expression became even uglier.

"You fat bird, don't think I dare not deal with you!"

Xie Xie said this through gritted teeth, but there was a hint of guilt in his tone.

Chen Gugu didn't seem to care about Xie Xie's threat. It flapped its wings gently and flew to Chen Zhou's shoulder. Then it tilted its head and looked at Xie Xie with its big, spiritual eyes, as if wondering why the defeated opponent dared to speak like that.

Xie Xie was furious at the owl, but he also knew that continuing to pester her would only lead to further embarrassment. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, walked to his seat, sat down, and glared at Chen Gugu fiercely.

The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became a little awkward. Everyone was silent, except Chen Zhou, who still had his head down, concentrating on the book in his hand, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Just then, the classroom door opened and Wu Zhangkong walked in. He glanced around the classroom, his gaze lingering on Chen Zhou and Chen Gugu for a moment, before saying calmly, "There's no actual combat training today. Let's go to the Spirit Pagoda."

Wu Changkong's words were very concise. The five people, who were confused, looked at each other in confusion. Only Chen Zhou, who had already known the situation, was talking to Chen Gugu in a low voice from time to time and followed at the end of the team.

Wu Zhangkong remained silent upon seeing this. Instead, he explained as he walked, "From today on, you will have one day a week to enter the Spirit Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platform for cultivation. You must cherish this opportunity. The academy has specially allocated funds for you."

The Spirit Ascension Platform was initially constructed under the leadership of the Spirit Transmission Tower. Its core purpose was to further research into artificial spirits, hoping to elevate these capabilities and create even more powerful spirits. The Spirit Transmission Tower invested significant resources in the hope of achieving technological breakthroughs through the platform and propelling spirit research to new heights.

However, as the experiment progressed, the results weren't entirely as expected. While the Soul Ascension Platform helped improve the artificial souls to some extent, the effect was not significant and remained highly uncertain. Despite the immense efforts of the Soul Pagoda's researchers, the level of artificial souls remained elusive. This result made the Soul Pagoda realize that relying solely on the Soul Ascension Platform to elevate souls was not an easy task.

Despite this, the Spirit Pagoda did not abandon the Spirit Ascension Platform. Instead, they decided to redevelop it, expanding and optimizing its capabilities. After a series of renovations, the Spirit Ascension Platform gradually evolved into a unique place, gathering the continent's most advanced spirit guide technology, spirit master wisdom, and the fruits of research.

Today, the Soul Ascension Platform is no longer simply a testing ground for artificial soul research; it now serves as a special space for practical combat training for soul masters. Upon entering the platform, soul masters experience another world. While the environment is challenging, the platform itself provides protection and ensures their safety. Here, soul masters can battle various soul beasts, gaining practical experience and improving their strength.

More importantly, if the soul's age is relatively low, then cultivating in the Soul Ascension Platform has a high probability of triggering the "Soul Ascension" that every soul master dreams of, making a ten-year soul ascend to a hundred-year soul, and a hundred-year soul ascend to a thousand-year soul.
Of course, this effect is not universal, and the older the soul is, the lower the possibility of "ascension", but this is enough to make the Ascension Platform a holy place for soul masters to practice.
As Xie Xie explained, both Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's eyes flickered with excitement, but their excitement didn't seem to match.
