Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 48 Pumping Water!
"Um"

This time, Su Qiu finally turned around and looked, and immediately saw the group of soul beasts behind Na'er.

He leaned back instantly: "Wow!"

"Na'er, what does this mean?"

"Hehehe." Na'er scratched her head shyly, her silver hair flying, and chuckled, "This is all for you, brother."

Su Qiu was also a remarkable person, and quickly accepted the situation.

Rather, he deserves the greatest credit for Na'er's transformation into this simple-minded person.

Upon seeing a Jade Phosphorous Serpent among the pile of soul beasts, Su Qiu's eyes lit up. He put away his fishing rod, threaded the serpent onto the hook, and cast the line.

Su Qiu sat down again, her hand holding the fishing rod as steady as a rock, as if she had just hooked an ordinary bait instead of a thousand-year-old soul beast.

Na'er squatted down beside him, blinking her purple eyes and staring curiously at the river, occasionally turning her head to look at Su Qiu.

Then he looked back at the pile of soul beasts that were still groaning and moaning.

The river was calm, with only small ripples caused by a gentle breeze.

But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.

Su Qiu frowned slightly, and was about to lift the rod to check when a strange movement suddenly came from underwater.

It wasn't a forceful tug; rather, it felt like something was gently touching the hook underwater.

Immediately, a dark shadow nimbly circled the fishing hook twice.

It actually swam downstream with the green-scaled snake, and then suddenly leaped upwards.

With a "smack," the splash of water hit Su Qiu's face precisely.

Su Qiu didn't care at all, her eyes narrowed, and she suddenly lifted her head.

But the fishing rod felt weightless and light, and the green snake on the hook had long since disappeared, leaving only half of the bitten fishing line dangling in the air.

Immediately afterwards, a splash of water broke out on the river surface, and an enormous silver-scaled fish leaped out of the water.

As if in provocation, it twisted its body in the air and flicked its tail in Su Qiu's direction, as if mocking him.

Then, with a "plop," it fell back into the water, leaving only a mocking ripple.

"."

Su Qiu looked at the empty fishing hook, then glanced at the still-spreading ripples in the water, and the image of being mocked by the big fish kept flashing through his mind.

Na'er, standing to the side, was also stunned. After she came to her senses, her purple eyes instantly blazed with fire, and three purple soul rings behind her suddenly lit up. The phantom of the giant dragon roared and reappeared: "Damn big fish! How dare you bully my brother! I'll go catch it!"

He was about to rush into the river when he said that.

"No." Su Qiu grabbed her arm and took a deep breath. "It's just fishing, there's no need for that."

"Okay," Na'er obediently returned.

One breath.
Two breaths
Three breaths
"Boiled!"

The more I took a step back, the more angry I became.

"Pump the water!" Su Qiu roared, his soul power surging. The water elemental fluctuations spread throughout the entire river.

The water in the river rushed wildly to both sides, and the originally calm river surface seemed to be moved apart by a pair of invisible hands, receding from the middle to both sides.

The mud, sand, and gravel at the bottom of the river are exposed.

The silver-scaled fish that had just been mocking him was now exposed to the air, its tail thrashing wildly against the ground, desperately trying to leap back into the water.

But the surrounding water seemed to come alive; no matter which direction it leaped, it would be avoided in advance, causing it to miss its target.

"Na'er!" Su Qiu commanded.

"To!"

Na'er stood at attention.

"charge!"

"Ow!"

Na'er reflexively let out a battle cry, but this time it was a real dragon's roar.

The enormous golden dragon slammed down on the silver-scaled fish.

Everyone in the monitoring area was completely frozen in place, and the air was silent.

Wu Changkong's expression was even colder than usual, but the slight twitching at the corner of his mouth betrayed his unease. He took a few deep breaths before barely suppressing the urge to complain, and uttered, "Su Qiu is a very individualistic person."

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, standing to the side, muttered unconsciously, "Is this how the Spirit Ascension Platform is used?"

The ascension is complete.

After everyone stood in line, looking at the group of students, Wu Changkong didn't know how to evaluate them.

"This spiritual ascension is over. Those who didn't gain anything shouldn't be disappointed. You can come again next week."

"We'll talk about the rest when we get back to the academy."

It's not that Wu Changkong doesn't want to strike while the iron is hot and help the students analyze things.

But he also needs time to watch the replay.

Wu Changkong was so engrossed in watching Su Qiu and Na'er's actions that he didn't pay much attention to the other trainees.

Everyone returned to the academy, during which time Tang Wulin's soul evolved, increasing from ten years to a hundred years.

Inside Class Zero, Wu Changkong, having watched all the replays, was full of confidence.

"First, tell us your feelings about this Ascension Platform."

He began calling out names one by one: "Zhang Yangzi!"

Zhang Yangzi stood up, her tone somewhat embarrassed: "Teacher Wu, I performed terribly yesterday, I was wrong."

Wu Changkong waved his hand: "No need to apologize to me. Your life is your own. If you were in the Soul Beast Forest, you would already be a corpse. Tell me how you feel."

Zhang Yangzi: "The Ascension Platform was too realistic. I originally wanted to climb a tree to observe the surroundings. My martial soul has an advantage in this regard, and I wanted to take advantage of the high ground. But I made a mistake by being arrogant and underestimating my enemies. I could see the soul beasts, and the soul beasts could see me. Instead, I became the target of everyone's attacks. Next time, I will definitely be more careful and protect myself first."

Wu Changkong turned to Wang Jinxi: "And you?"

Wang Jinxi smiled bitterly: "All I remember is the face of the human-faced spider and that chilling aura that went straight to my soul, like a nightmare. I really don't know what to do if I encounter it again next time."

Human-faced spider?
Wu Changkong, unusually, did not criticize you. He comforted you, saying, "It's not your fault. Relax. The Human-Faced Demon Spider is very powerful. It can hunt down thousand-year-old soul beasts in a hundred years. It's not shameful to lose to it. Next time you encounter it, remember to press the rescue signal immediately."

"Thank you, teacher," Wang Jinxi replied.

Wu Changkong turned to Gu Yue: "Tell me your feelings."

Gu Yue's eyes held a hint of reminiscence: "The Ascension Platform is very realistic, like entering an ancient forest. I really like it."

She didn't "go crazy" like Na'er.

Instead, they spent more time wandering around, observing and appreciating the Soul Beast Forest simulated by the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Wu Changkong frowned: "Why didn't you hunt down any soul beasts to ascend to spirit level?"

Faced with Wu Changkong's question, Gu Yue simply shook her head and did not answer.

Ascension to a higher level is meaningless to her; it would be more worthwhile to enjoy the Soul Beast Forest.

Seeing that Gu Yue seemed to have something difficult to say, Wu Changkong did not press the matter further.

He turned to look at Su Qiu and Na'er.

He pondered for a moment and then asked the next person a question.

There's not much to say about these two.

You know everything.

He looked at Xie Xie and said, "It's your turn."

Xie Xie exclaimed excitedly, "Hunting soul beasts is so exhilarating! If I were a little faster, my survivability would be even greater. I could avoid vital points and fight for longer. I finally understand the advantage of speed."

He recalled their usual training sessions, with Wu Changkong and Su Qiu. None of them were slower than him; it was incredibly frustrating.

Finally, it was Tang Wulin's turn. He pondered for a moment and said, "My ascension to the Spirit Realm this time was entirely due to luck."

"This is different from our usual training. The Spirit Ascension Platform is too realistic. It allows us to go all out and greatly improves our combat skills. I don't think we should just focus on the Spirit Ascension itself."

"It's more useful for training real combat skills."

"Hmm." Wu Changkong nodded, then analyzed and commented on each of them one by one.

The final message was: "Get ready."

"The final exams will be held at the Ascension Platform."

"You still have some time to familiarize yourselves with the Ascension Platform."
