Chapter 73 Summary after the war
"Yes!" Zhang Yangzi agreed somewhat awkwardly and stood up. "My performance yesterday was terrible, Teacher Wu, I was wrong."

Wu Zhangkong waved his hand, "You don't need to admit your mistakes to me. Your life is your own. You still have a chance to admit your mistakes. If you were really in the Soul Beast Forest yesterday, you would be just a corpse now, or even nothing left. You can say your feelings to the Soul Ascension Platform and to yourself."

Zhang Yangzi's facial muscles twitched awkwardly. "The world of the Spirit Ascension Platform is too real. I don't feel any illusion in it at all. So, I was very curious when I first entered it. I climbed the tree because I wanted to see farther. Moreover, my martial spirit has a certain gliding ability. I think I can fly in multiple directions on the top of the tree, and at the same time I can better observe everything around me."

"So, at the beginning, I did nothing wrong. My mistake was that I didn't observe the surroundings enough and was arrogant. I didn't understand the attack characteristics of soul beasts, so I acted rashly and became the target of everyone's criticism, and was eliminated from the battlefield."

"Next time I go to the Spirit Ascension Platform, I will be extra careful and try my best to protect myself and survive longer."

After saying this, he sat down again.

Wu Zhangkong did not comment and turned to Wang Jinxi, "What about you?"

Wang Jinxi smiled bitterly, "Teacher Wu, I don't remember much else now. I only remember the face that fell from above my head, and the coldness that seemed to freeze my soul. They are like my nightmares, haunting me all the time. I don't know what will happen next time I see them."

Wu Zhangkong said, "You need to relax now. You will get better in a few days. Your situation is special. The human-faced demon spider is an extremely rare and powerful soul beast. It can hunt down thousand-year soul beasts with a hundred years of cultivation. It is not shameful to die at its hands. But remember, next time you encounter this kind of soul beast, press the rescue signal immediately. This time, you are in danger of being killed by it directly in the Soul Ascension Platform."

Teacher Wu is comforting people? This is extremely rare!

"Thank you, teacher."

Wu Changkong turned to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue said: "The Soul Ascension Platform is a very real world. I feel like I have really entered a great ancient forest. I like it there, very much. During the battle, the soul beasts are very real, and everything seems to be no different from the real thing."

"That's all?" Wu Zhangkong frowned slightly when he saw Gu Yue sitting down again. He was a little angry when Gu Yue voluntarily withdrew. The qualifications for the Spirit Ascension Platform are rare. Even if it is only the beginner level, an ordinary family may not be able to go there once in their lifetime. However, Gu Yue voluntarily withdrew because of the conflict with Gu You. It was simply outrageous.

Gu Yue nodded.

Wu Zhangkong said, “Then explain to me why you left the Spirit Ascension Platform without permission? Even if there was a conflict first, you can mediate after you come out. Do you know how rare that opportunity is?!”

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth, "Teacher! I was wrong. I shouldn't have wasted the opportunity and failed the school's expectations of me."

Wu Zhangkong looked coldly and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he turned to Xie Xie and Tang Wulin, "It's your turn now." The two stood up, and Xie Xie spoke first. His tone was very excited because he and Tang Wulin had performed very well in the Soul Ascension Platform this time. He was sure that the teacher would praise him. "Teacher Wu, I like that place too. It feels so good to hunt soul beasts in the forest. That kind of environment is especially suitable for us agile attack-type combat soul masters. If my speed can be faster, my survivability will be stronger."

Tang Wulin added, "The forest feels very real. Although we know it is an illusion, when we go deeper into it, we will unconsciously treat it as real, especially the pain of being injured. The realism of fighting soul beasts is very helpful for improving actual combat. Practicing in such a place, I think we can become true soul masters. I think we need to further strengthen our cooperation in the future. Only with tacit cooperation can we use the collective strength to fight against soul beasts stronger than us and continue to explore opportunities in the Soul Ascension Platform."

After listening to the five people's speeches, Wu Zhangkong nodded.

He finally saw Gu You, who unconsciously stood up and stood at attention! He said in a sonorous voice, "Teacher Wu, this trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform has taught me one thing: strength cannot determine everything. Even when facing an opponent with less strength, it is possible to fail."

Wu Zhangkong was puzzled, "Why after you killed the Millennium Crystal Bear and absorbed the energy, you died of soul overdraft and suffered certain mental trauma?" Everyone was curious, the way you fainted was too weird.

At this moment, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were stunned. The thousand-year crystal bear was killed by Gu You? Doesn't that mean that the two of them took advantage of Gu You?

Xie Xie was so moved that tears were about to flow out. Tang Wulin's eyes when looking at Gu You also changed. He still remembered Old Tang's instructions, but the current events and the soul ring's spiritual upgrade were all caused by Gu You killing the crystal bear and them finding the latter to absorb it. Moreover, after this incident, Gu You did not say much on the way back to school, causing the two of them to think that they were lucky. Unexpectedly... someone has been carrying the burden all the time!

Tang Wulin's eyes changed. He was determined to make Gu You his friend.

Gu Yue had a look of disdain on her face, and she felt a little aggrieved like a modern fairy. Everyone cared about Gu You, but why didn't anyone care about her, the victim? Being called brother! Who wouldn't feel extremely angry when encountering such a filthy thing in an unfamiliar situation? !

"Teacher, my whole experiment went wrong. At that time, I was thinking whether I could integrate those energies into my own spiritual sea and take them out, but the whole thing... You should know." Gu You scratched the back of his head unintentionally.

This... Wu Zhangkong was speechless. Where did the scientific research experimenter come from? Taking the energy of the Spirit Ascension Platform out, is this something a normal person could think of? In the future federal technology experiments, if you, Gu You, take the lead in certifying and testing it yourself, he will not care about it in the future.

“If I were to give you a score for this training on the Spirit Ascension Platform, Zhang Yangzi, zero points, Wang Jinxi, one point, Gu Yue, zero points, Xie Xie, five points, Tang Wulin, five points, and Gu You, three points!”

Zhang Yangzi had a premonition of his low score, as did Wang Jinxi. Xie Xie puffed out his chest with pride, and Tang Wulin was also very excited. After all, who doesn't want to be praised? But when Wu Zhangkong said that Gu You only scored three points, not as good as Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, everyone couldn't help but show surprise.

You know, with Gu You’s current ability, he can kill a thousand-year soul beast with one punch. Even if there are mistakes, it’s at least four points!
