Fate unknown? That means he's dead.

Having confirmed that the Icefire Demon Tiger was dead, Gu Lie hurriedly ran towards Na'er, almost tripping and falling in his haste.

"Na'er, are you alright?!" Gu Lie reached out and shook hands with Na'er, merging their dragon powers while also transferring some of the spiritual power from the Ice and Fire Demon Tiger to her.

"Brother, I'm fine, and I believe you can definitely help me defeat this soul beast!"

Seeing Gu Lie's somewhat nervous expression, Na'er couldn't help but laugh and offered words of comfort.

Although she did have a trump card and escaped the Ice and Fire Demon Tiger's attack at the last moment, feeling Gu Lie's concern still made her feel incredibly comfortable.

"By the way, brother, what should we do with that person?" Na'er said, pointing her silver dragon spear at the girl who was still unconscious not far away.

After clashing with the Ice and Fire Demon Tiger with all her might, Wu Siduo fell into a coma. In the subsequent battle, she was fortunate enough not to be affected by the aftershocks of Gu Lie's battle, so she did not leave the Spirit Ascension Platform like her companions.

"Na'er, what do you think?"

Gu Lie currently has no particular thoughts about Wu Siduo.

Unlike the previous two Douluo series, the extraordinary nature of the Dragon King Legend meant that Gu Lie didn't have a deep understanding of it in his previous life. Therefore, apart from his self-fusion martial soul technique, he didn't know much about Wu Siduo.

Wu Siduo is still just a child, and there's no way she can instill any worldly thoughts in Gu Lie.

It's more accurate to say that someone who has worldly thoughts about the current Wu Siduo is more dangerous; the FBI should be contacted to shoot him within ten minutes.

Therefore, Gu Lie chose to respect Na'er's opinion.

"Brother, can you help her this once?"

Na'er hesitated for a moment, but decided to help Wu Siduo this time.

Although she didn't even know Wu Siduo's name, for some reason, when Na'er saw Wu Siduo, she could sense that the two of them seemed to share a kind of lonely sorrow.

Na'er herself didn't know why she had this feeling, but just like when she chose to meet Gu Lie and become family, she was willing to believe in this feeling.

"Okay, but we need to make sure we're safe first."

Gu Lie nodded and sat down with Na'er, recovering their strength, absorbing spiritual energy, and keeping watch on their surroundings.

However, although the Ice-Fire Demon Tiger is not yet a guardian, with its strength, it can still have its own territory even in the Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot period.

Therefore, during the process of the two absorbing spiritual energy, there were no soul beasts or soul masters to disturb them.

……

Wu Siduo opened her eyes and was stunned by the vibrant scene of life and all things thriving within the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Originally, her use of the self-soul fusion technique, Netherworld White Tiger, which she herself was not very proficient in, was just her youthful arrogance. Even she herself did not quite believe that her immature soul fusion technique could kill the few young and promising brothers and sisters in her "family".

But now she remains intact inside the Spirit Ascension Platform. Although her soul power has been almost completely depleted, as long as she is still alive, she can continue to reap benefits within the Spirit Ascension Platform during this period of turmoil.

But what exactly happened?

"You're awake? The surgery was successful; you've become a boy."

Just then, a voice came from behind her, startling her.

She subconsciously reached down and touched herself, but nothing changed.

"Brother! How could you say such a thing!"

"Uh, Na'er, sorry, I couldn't help but make a joke, and I didn't expect her to be so honest..."

Wu Siduo turned around and saw two children, a boy and a girl, who were about the same age as her and wearing clothes with the Spirit Pagoda's logo. Each of them had a purple spirit ring beside them, which proved their strength.

The Ice and Fire Demon Tiger's fate is unknown, so it's highly likely that it's dead.

If someone else had defeated that Ice and Fire Demon Tiger, she would have had no reason not to be killed by them.

Even if she doesn't have much spiritual power, it's still very beneficial to take the initiative to kill an opponent who is competing for spiritual power.

"That Ice and Fire Demon Tiger...were you defeated?" Wu Siduo asked hesitantly.

She realized a truth, but it was still far beyond her comprehension.

"Yes, it was my brother who knocked him down!"

Na'er puffed out her chest proudly and gestured towards Gu Lie with her free hand, as if giving a grand introduction.

"Na'er, stop fooling around... Anyway, we did take care of that Ice-Fire Demon Tiger. What's your name?"

Gu Lie was a little embarrassed by Na'er, but he still adjusted his expression and smiled as he spoke to Wu Siduo.

"...Thank you both for saving my life. My name is Wu Siduo. May I ask who you two are?"

"My name is Gu Lie, and this is my younger sister, Na'er. So, what are your plans now? You must have had companions to get this far, right?"

"Partners? Pshaw, I wish I actually had partners..."

After exchanging names, Wu Siduo's expression turned very bad, as if she had thought of something sad.

Gu Lie immediately realized that Wu Siduo must have a story behind her, and it was probably very tragic, otherwise she wouldn't have been so worried about the word "partner".

Even the origin of her self-fusion martial soul skill may not be unrelated to that experience.

"We plan to continue deeper into the Ascension Platform. What are your plans? If you're alone, I suggest you go to the outer areas, where the individual soul beasts aren't very strong."

"Even if you're alone, you should still be able to gain something."

Since Na'er has decided to help Wu Siduo this once, Gu Lie doesn't mind offering some advice.

As for forming teams to act together...

To be honest, Wu Siduo is no different from a burden, as she cannot activate her self-soul fusion skill again in a short period of time and her soul power is almost completely depleted.

Moreover, there isn't that level of trust between Wu Siduo and them.

Even someone as naive as Na'er wouldn't make such a suggestion, let alone Gu Lie would do something so selfless.

"...Thank you both for your help. I will definitely repay you in the future!"

Wu Siduo bowed deeply to the two of them, then turned and left in the direction Gu Lie had pointed out.

Although she doesn't have much soul power left, she can still accumulate some spiritual power by killing some ten-year-old soul beasts.

"Alright, Na'er, let's keep going."

After seeing Wu Siduo off, Gu Lie and Na'er continued their journey, heading deeper into the Ascension Platform.

……

"It seems they are now accepting your guidance."

Leng Yaozhu calmly watched Gu Lie and Na'er's performance on the screen, then turned to an old man next to her and said.

"Vice Tower Master, if I may be so bold, you spoil them a little too much."

"Although their bodies may be inherently flawed, that won't affect their spiritual cultivation!"

The old man replied somewhat reluctantly, clearly having reservations about Leng Yaozhu's educational approach.

"You may not know this, but both Gu Lie and Na'er had some psychological issues back then."

"Although your Body Sect's secret techniques are unique, if the person who receives them has psychological problems, it will only be less effective and may even cause the practitioner to go astray."

"It is precisely because you have not realized this that your Body Sect has always been sparsely populated."

Faced with the doubts of the Illusionary Brain Douluo, Leng Yaozhu's lips twitched slightly downwards, and her tone became somewhat unfriendly.
