Mu Zhongtian's gaze was directed to the middle-aged man on the other side. The middle-aged man nodded to him, signaled with his eyes, and made a gesture of invitation. The two middle-aged men then walked aside to communicate privately, leaving this side to the young man.
This is the Spirit Pagoda, they can't possibly start a fight.
"Please speak." Lan Xuanyu nodded to Bing Tianliang.
Bing Tianliang calmed down his emotions after seeing Lan Xuanyu again, and said in a deep voice: "It's very simple. I came to you specifically because I hope to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation?" Lan Xuanyu raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this guy really not holding a grudge at all
Bing Tianliang said frankly, "To be honest, I hate you and I want to beat you up. Do you know? Originally, we were very confident that at least four groups would appear in the trials. But because of you, only two groups made it. There are many people in our school who hate you. However, it is also because of this that I understand the gap between us and you in some aspects. Your strength is not that good, but your brain is enough. So, let's cooperate."
Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes slightly, "How can we cooperate if you don't even know what the Shrek Academy semi-finals are about?"
Bing Tianliang said: "No matter what the assessment is, there must be an aspect of comprehensive quality. Shrek has always focused on real combat. Our cooperation is very simple. In terms of fighting, we can help you. But in terms of making plans, we need your advice."
Lan Xuanyu gave him a deep look and said, "You don't seem like someone without confidence. With your level of cultivation, it shouldn't be too difficult to qualify from the semi-finals, right? If I'm not mistaken, you're doing this for your other group of people?"
Bing Tianliang's eyes condensed, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded, "Yes. In fact, it's mainly for one person. She is my childhood sweetheart, and I hope to protect her forever and let her enter Shrek with me. You have seen her strength, but it is a bit difficult for her to rely on her own strength. I can help her, but just in case, I hope to get your help. In return, we will also help you. We all come from Tianluo Star. When we come to Shrek Academy, we should unite."
Lan Xuanyu suddenly realized why the man in front of him exploded when he killed Liang Shushi in the selection competition. It turned out that there was such a relationship. Moreover, Bing Tianliang attached great importance to Liang Shushi.
Lan Xuanyu asked: "She didn't come with you this time?"
Bing Tianliang said, "She is coming. We will depart from Tianluo City with you and head to the mother planet. However, there are only three places for entering the Spirit Ascension Platform. So she didn't come today."
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, "How can I trust you?"
Bing Tianliang said: "I always say what I mean. If we are allies, I will spare no effort."
He spoke this sentence very slowly, and his tone was not like that of a teenager at all, but rather like a solemn promise. He kept looking into Lan Xuanyu's eyes, and his expression did not change at all.
Lan Xuanyu was also looking at him, and there were faint sparks in his eyes.
After a long while, Lan Xuanyu slowly raised his right hand and said, "Our cooperation can start from the Soul Ascension Platform."
"Okay." Bing Tianliang raised his hand and shook hands with him.
There is no doubt that the upcoming Spiritual Ascension Platform will be the best place to test the effectiveness of their cooperation. Whether they can truly cooperate is one thing, but more importantly, whether they can gain something in the process of cooperation. This is also what Bing Tianliang hopes to try.
On the other side, the two teachers shook hands and walked back.
The teacher who came with Bing Tianliang smiled and said, "Have you agreed?"
Bing Tianliang nodded.
The teacher smiled and said, "Then I wish you all can be admitted to Shrek Academy. Let's go to the Spirit Ascension Platform."
The Soul Ascension Platform is on the fourth floor of the Soul Transmission Tower in Tianluo City. Tickets are required to enter by taking the exclusive elevator. Mu Zhongtian and the teacher from Lingtian College could only send them to the elevator entrance.
The six people stepped into the elevator, and all seemed a little silent. After all, they were once rivals, and their experience with each other was definitely not pleasant. Although a preliminary cooperation agreement had been reached at this time, it was impossible to say that there was no grudge in their hearts.
The elevator went straight to the fourth floor, where a staff member in work clothes was already waiting at the door. After checking the tickets of the six people, he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please follow me."
Lan Xuanyu, Liu Feng, and Qian Lei were all here for the first time, so they were naturally curious and looked around. There were metal walls all around them, and they walked inwards until they came to an empty hall. There were hundreds of simulation cabins here, but they were different from ordinary simulation cabins. They were larger and more sophisticated.
Lan Xuanyu noticed that Bing Tianliang and the other two had normal expressions and did not look around. Thinking back to the color of his spirit ring, it was undoubtedly not their first time to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform. It is conceivable that Lingtian Academy's investment in their genius class is greater than that of Tianluo Academy's high-energy youth class.
"Are you being teleported together or separately?" the staff member asked.
Bing Tianliang said without hesitation: "Teleport together."
Qian Lei couldn't help but ask, "You guys aren't planning on going in there to retaliate against us, are you?"
There is no doubt that without sufficient preparation, when six people appeared in the same place at the same time, Lan Xuanyu and his companions would definitely not be able to defeat Bing Tianliang and the other two.
Yu Tian said sarcastically, "It turns out that not everyone has a brain. Why did we come all this way just to get revenge on you? We can wait until the rematch to get revenge."
Qian Lei raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you are the one who plays with the sword, right? Is your name Sha Da Dao?"
Yu Tian's face changed. He was one of the most famous people in Lingtian Academy. He had never encountered such ridicule. His eyes suddenly became cold.
"Okay. We are here to cooperate." Bing Tianliang said with a frown.
Lan Xuanyu also patted Qian Lei on the shoulder. Yu Tian was right about one thing. They didn't have to spend so much time to come to Tianluo City to find them before the semi-finals. Moreover, they didn't know that Lan Xuanyu and the other two were going to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform.
"Let's teleport together." Lan Xuanyu also said to the staff.
The staff took them to select six special simulation chambers. The hatch was opened, and the simulation chamber was indeed much more complicated. After entering, tubes would be attached to different parts of the body, making them feel numb and electrified.
"Relax your whole body. Everyone will have an alarm on their body after entering. The Soul Ascension Platform is different from the Douluo World. It can be said to be a semi-real and semi-illusory scene. The pain is 50% of the normal level. Therefore, if you encounter a situation that you cannot resist, or you are in severe pain, immediately press the alarm to leave the battlefield. Return here. Otherwise, if any problems arise, the Soul Transmission Tower will not be responsible. Do you understand?"
Fifty percent of the pain? Doesn't that mean it's closer to actual combat
While Lan Xuanyu felt secretly awed in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little bit expectant.
Since the invention of the simulation cabin, soul masters have been practicing in the virtual world to a large extent. But virtual is virtual after all. Having experienced actual combat in space, he knows that there is a difference between real combat and virtual combat. And he must not be allowed to develop the mentality of being able to revive in the virtual world. Because there is no such opportunity and possibility in real combat.
The six hatches slowly closed, and Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes, silently feeling the changes in his body.
The numbness coming from the connection points all over his body instantly intensified, and the next moment, he seemed to have become numb all over.
After an unknown amount of time, his hearing was the first thing that recovered, and with the slightest sound, his six senses gradually recovered.
