Ever since Tang Wulin entered Shrek Academy, he rarely used the spirit ascension platform. However, he remembered his experience strengthening his spirit soul in the platform as if it was yesterday.
He did not continue because the requirements for entering the high-ranking spirit ascension platform were too high. Also, according to his teachers in Shrek Academy, after a spirit soul was upgraded to a black spirit soul, it would be very difficult for it to be improved through the spirit ascension platform. Tang Wulin’ spirit souls were all among the most powerful in their respective fields, thus there was no need for him to go into a spirit ascension platform.
He did not expect the Joust For A Spouse Festival to have a trial such as this. This was interesting.
Tang Wulin could not help but think of the Beast God Di Tian whom he faced before. Di Tian lived up to the name of the most powerful soul beast. Although he was very confident in his own strength, when he faced Di Tian that time, he still suffered a great loss. If it were not for his Golden Trident in the end, he would have died that very day.
When he thought about this, he remembered the giant silver claw his companions mentioned. Who was that? It was a being that was capable of intimidating the Beast God. Could there be a terrifying beast king hidden in the depths of the Great Star Dou Forest?


It seemed that the soul beasts were not completely extinct after all!
He reckoned that the soul beasts inside would not be weaklings, since the Spirit Pagoda had to prepare them to test soul masters with six rings and above such as them. This was a good opportunity for him to train himself.

Excuse me. What’s this device called?
Tang Wulin asked a member of the staff.
They replied,
This is the product of our latest research spearheaded by Miss Gu Yuena, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. You’ll gain unexpected benefits by training in here, meaning this eighth stage is also a reward for the participants of the Joust For A Spouse Festival. You’ll understand once you enter it.

Lan Fozi could not help but offer his praise,
Miss Gu Yuena is truly beautiful in appearance and sharp of mind. Not only does she look pleasant, but she also has a pure heart and spirit, and she’s powerful. She’s the perfect woman! Hey, wait up. What are you being so impatient for?

Tang Wulin had already walked toward the entrance to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform before him. There was a strange-looking door of light at the entrance. According to the attendant’s instructions, they could begin their test by walking through this door.
This was unlike his previous experiences using the spirit ascension platform. The spirit ascension platform was connected through instruments. In a certain sense, it allowed the user’s spirits to enter the spirit ascension platform with a simulated body. However, this Ten Thousand Beast Platform seemed to be allowing the soul master himself to enter into it. There was an essential difference between the two.
Tang Wulin did not hesitate and walked straight into the door of light. From Lan Fozi’s view, he saw a dazzling flash and Tang Wulin had vanished without a trace.
This guy was moving fast. He decided that he could not lag behind. After all, this was a test designed by the Spirit Pagoda for all the elite soul masters. There should not be anything wrong with it.
Following Tang Wulin’s footsteps, Lan Fozi strode into the door and vanished.


The space around them was warping in a distorted manner. Although the distortion was intense, it was linear. Tang Wulin bore with it and felt the changes around him silently.
Spatial power was strange and terrifying. Damage to the fabric of space was a nightmare. If space shattered, terrifying destructive energy would be released. Many top soul masters were researching this aspect.
With his Spirit Domain realm spiritual power, Tang Wulin could calmly experience the entire transportation process.
If his actual body was transported into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to battle soul beasts, would he not be in danger if there was a dangerous situation? How would they deal with this problem?
He had to go in and see the workings of this contraption with his own eyes!
The sensation of being transported felt very much like the time he was spirited into the Dragon Valley in the Star Luo Empire. He wondered if the miniature world of the Dragon Valley still existed.
Suddenly, his body felt light and a sense of weightlessness immediately came over him. The soul core within him contracted and pumped out soul power as he stabilized himself and hovered in midair.
He focused his spirits to look into himself while observing his surroundings.
His body was normal, and there did not seem to be any suppression from this space. All his abilities were still intact. Neither his spiritual power nor his soul power was affected in any way.
Tang Wulin’s soul power cultivation base was still at rank-91. There was no substantial increase, but it was not as if he could not improve it. After he slept with Gu Yuena and his soul power suddenly reached the rank of Title Doulou, he had been consciously suppressing his own cultivation base so that it would not grow too quickly. This was because if his cultivation base grew too fast, his foundations would destabilize.


His goal was not the rank of a Title Douluo. Instead, he sought after the visionary divine rank. Hence, every step he took had to have a firm foundation.
Back when he achieved the breakthrough and attained the rank of a Title Douluo, Tang Wulin vaguely felt the condensation and formation of a second soul core within his sea of spirit. However, it was only a faint feeling back then. At this point, his second soul core gradually took form in his sea of spirit. With the nourishment from his spiritual power, it slowly merged with his Spirit Domain spiritual cultivation base.
This soul core was clearly different from the soul core in his dantian. It was not only capable of mobilizing his soul power, but it could also mediate between his soul power and spiritual power. It formed the best link between the two.
Once a soul master cultivated to a certain extent, the effects from the harmonization of his spiritual power and soul power were highly formidable. Many powerful combat skills were products of the combination of the two.
In turn, a sea of spirit with his soul power’s nourishment and protection could unleash more powerful spiritual energy when it was used.
Tang Wulin’s spiritual domain got more stable when this second soul core was taking shape. It also became easier for Tang Wulin to control it.
As far as his eyes could see, this was a world filled with life. An intense familiarity washed over him.
The Great Star Dou Forest?
Tang Wulin’s face had an odd expression.
Not long ago, he had brought his companions into the Great Star Dou Forest and they had narrowly escaped death. He never thought that he would be able to return to the Great Star Dou Forest when he participated in the Joust For A Spouse Festival. This was really interesting.


Whether this Ten Thousand Beast Platform was virtual or real, it was certainly built with the Great Star Dou Forest in mind.
Tang Wulin would never mistake it for another forest. He was the Nature Child. He had keen senses for nature’s life aura. The Great Star Dou Forest had its own aura, the same aura which he could sense from this place!
However, though it appeared to be the Great Star Dou Forest, when he looked at it in detail, he noticed that it lacked the structure of the real thing. This must have been a unique enclosed space. Spirit Pagoda had modified it and somehow made it appear the way it was right now.
Such an alteration alone was already shocking enough. Who knew how many resources had gone into this? This amount of wealth was as expected of Spirit Pagoda.
The Dragon Valley was a miniature world that had formed naturally. At most, the Tang Sect had only found the key to enter the Dragon Valley and would never simply modify it. In the Dragon Valley, the nourishment from the dragon souls and dragon clouds provided an effective training environment for the soul masters.
Tang Wulin’s swift rate of improvement was definitely related to the three years he spent burying dragon bones. His body was sublimed during that period. Otherwise, he would have buckled under the energy impact brought by the Golden Dragon King seals.
He really liked this place filled with life aura. Tang Wulin took a deep breath of fresh air. Regardless of whether it was real or virtual, it was still comfortable to breathe it in.
Just when he was prepared to descend into the forest, a loud bird’s squawk suddenly came from somewhere above his head.
Something suddenly startled him. He raised his head instinctively to look and saw a mass of green light charging toward him at lightning speed.
‘That’s fast!’


The beam of light was like a green bolt of lightning. It appeared abruptly and grew larger in a flash.
Tang Wulin dared not dally. He crossed his arms before him to defend himself, and golden radiance burst forth from within his body. Dragon Air!

Boom!
The force of the impact sent him reeling. However, the green light was also affected by Dragon Air and was deflected away.
Tang Wulin could only see that it was a colossal green bird. It had a vibrant appearance with a wingspan of around five meters. Its body was entirely azure green, as if it was sculpted from jade. Its emerald eyes flickered with a fierce gleam and its steel claws under its belly glowed eerily. Even the edges of its wings looked like sharp blades.
This was…the Green Jade Bird? It was a soul beast that went extinct long ago!
The Green Jade Bird was known for its irascible temperament. It would attack any living creature that crossed its path. However, the interesting thing was that this soul beast was herbivorous. Its diet consisted mainly of fruits and grass seeds.
