Chapter 14
The Shrek Kid Who Was Born Evil
Six months later.
"Today's test is to survive on the Ascension Platform during the riots."
Looking at the energetic Gu Lie and Na'er in front of her, Leng Yaozhu smiled and announced their mission for the day.
The biggest difference between the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period and the usual Spirit Ascension Platform is that the probability of soul beasts appearing is greatly increased, and the time required to absorb all the spiritual power is also greatly extended.
This means that those who enter the Spirit Ascension Platform during this period will find it easier to kill soul beasts and obtain a large amount of spiritual power, which in turn makes the entry slots for the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period even rarer.
However, the extended time required to absorb spiritual energy also significantly increases the risk for each person, potentially leading to being killed by others who then steal the unabsorbed spiritual energy.
The entry threshold for the primary Spirit Ascension Platform is level 40, which means that many great soul masters, and even soul lords, will be active during the turmoil period of this Spirit Ascension Platform.
Judging from their strength on paper, this still poses a certain danger to Gu Lie and Na'er, who are still a little short of level 20.
Moreover, besides the Shrek Academy's dogs and donkeys, there was also a group of insects around Qian Gu Zhangting at the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period at the Spirit Tower headquarters.
Although their moral standards are comparable to those of a certain "rice bowl colonel" and a certain person who committed suicide, their objective strength is indeed not weak.
Therefore, Leng Yaozhu's requirement for them was not how much spiritual power they absorbed, but rather how well they could survive.
Wilderness Survival: The Ascension Platform Special Episode During the Riot Period.
"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely protect Na'er and do my best to buy spiritual energy wholesale from the Spirit Ascension Platform!"
Gu Lie smiled confidently, raised his hand and pointed to himself with his thumb, as if he were an omnipotent superman.
Na'er didn't speak, but her eyes were filled with determination as she grasped Gu Lie's other hand.
Seeing that the two looked very energetic, Leng Yaozhu didn't hesitate. After watching them enter the Ascension Platform during the riot period, she didn't put her hand on the emergency escape button.
Although theoretically the Ascension Platform is currently fraught with danger, ...
Perhaps for those dogs, donkeys, and insects, it is Gu Lie and Na'er who are the real danger.
……
"As expected of the Ascension Platform during the riot period, it is indeed very noisy."
Upon entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, Gu Lie saw a group of rodent-like soul beasts baring their teeth at him and Na'er.
"These rats are incredibly brave; whose generals are they?"
Without identifying the species of the rat, Gu Lie gathered the power of the dragon in his hands, turning it into a pair of sharp dragon claws. With a few swings, half of the rat turned into warm spiritual energy.
As for the other half...
A flash of cold light appeared first, and Na'er's spear moved like a dragon!
Under Leng Yaozhu's careful guidance, Gu Lie was able to successfully use Dragon Claw, the most iconic physical attack move of Dragon-type Pokémon, while Na'er's basic skills in Silver Dragon Lance were also greatly improved.
It may seem like just a normal attack, but the attack power of Dragon Claw and Na'er Silver Dragon Spear is now comparable to the full-force attack of a Great Soul Master. How could a group of rats be a match for them?
After quickly cleaning up the group of rats, Gu Lie and Na'er did not act rashly. Instead, Gu Lie used his high-intensity senses to monitor the surroundings, while Na'er was responsible for protecting him immediately.
After confirming that there were no spirit beasts around for the time being, the two cautiously advanced deeper into the primary spirit ascension platform.
Along the way, they encountered wild spirit beasts, and the two fought them quickly, transforming them into warm spiritual energy with the fastest speed and the least disturbance.
Thanks to the special authority of Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear, which was fully developed, the spiritual power that was not absorbed in time did not attract attention around the two like a light bulb, but instead gathered under their clothes, like a different kind of armor.
Gu Lie had already noticed that several Soul Master teams had seen them while they were traveling, but after seeing that they were two children wearing Spirit Pagoda uniforms, each with only one purple Soul Ring and no spiritual energy, they gave up the idea of attacking Gu Lie and Na'er.
After all, no one with a sound mind would do something that yields no benefit and is likely to cause a lot of trouble.
However, perhaps because of Na'er by his side, Gu Lie still underestimated the pollution of this world caused by Tang San's influence on the will of heaven.
A group of teenagers dressed in dark green, led by a girl with golden hair tied in a ponytail, blocked Gu Lie and Na'er's path.
"Get out of the Ascension Platform, or I'll help you get out of the Ascension Platform."
"As expected of Shrek Academy students, their ability to spew filth is just as good as their terrible fashion sense."
In the entire Douluo Continent, only the students of Shrek Academy possess the same fashion sense as the man who kicked out the ending of Naruto, regarding dark green clothing as the epitome of style.
Although the opposing team had more people and two Soul Masters leading the team, Gu Lie was not going to be outdone in terms of momentum. He immediately grabbed Na'er's hand and pulled her behind him to protect her, while retaliating without mercy.
Although he wasn't as well-off as those who had lived in Zu'an for eight years and had parents, Gu Lie's verbal skills were still enough to deal with the Douluo country bumpkins.
For example, right now, in the opposing team, apart from a chubby guy who looked adorable but was clearly distressed, the other six people were visibly flushed.
"Seniors, please don't interfere. Leave this arrogant brat from the Spirit Pagoda to me!"
The blonde girl gave a sharp shout, winked at the chubby boy, and then charged towards Gu Lie.
As a yellow spirit ring appeared, a bright yellow longsword appeared in her hand, its blade seemingly shimmering with countless stars.
"No wonder you have such a foul mouth, so you're Ye Xinglan."
Seeing the girl's martial spirit and the chubby boy following behind her, Gu Lie finally recognized who she was.
Turns out she's just a conceited, arrogant young woman. My apologies!
"You naturally evil Shrek brat, I'll send you right off the Ascension Platform!"
"Na'er, that chubby boy is yours. Watch out for his overwhelming power and flamenco moves."
After storing enough power within their bodies to sustain their sublimated state for a period of time, Gu Lie and Na'er released their clasped hands and pounced towards Ye Xinglan and her followers respectively.
After further provoking Ye Xinglan, Gu Lie whispered a reminder to Na'er.
As far as I can remember, Xu Lizhi, the steamed bun hero, was also a disciple of the Tang Clan, and in the early stages, he seemed to have considerable combat power thanks to his Crane Control and Dragon Capture techniques and Ghost Shadow Step.
Although Na'er, who can still maintain the fusion of dragon power for a while, is unlikely to fail, he still wants to give her a reminder.
As for whether Shrek Academy will disregard martial ethics...
If the advantage is in my hands, Shrek is the most morally upright saint and gentleman.
Conversely, they will use every trick in the book to "defend the honor of Shrek Academy".
Right, Lao Huo?
