Before long, the middle-aged man returned to the conference room with five Spirit Masters.
These Spirit Masters were all around forty years old, their spirit power solid, and their aura steady, clearly experienced individuals.
"This is Lei Ting, a fiftieth-level attack system Battle Spirit Ancestor, with the Spirit of Thunder Leopard, possessing extreme speed and instantaneous explosive power."
"This is Ji Jun, a fiftieth-level control system Battle Spirit Ancestor, with the Spirit of Vine Staff, skilled in area control and restraint."
"This is…"
The middle-aged man introduced each Spirit Master in detail.
Apparently, these Spirit Masters, whose cultivation was stuck at the fiftieth-level threshold, had agreed to come as opponents only on the condition that the Spirit Transfer Pagoda would provide suitable high-quality Soul Spirits.
Xie Xie and the others carefully observed their respective opponents.
Wu Changkong stood in the corner, a hint of approval flashing in his ice-blue eyes.
Such an arrangement was indeed much more reliable and efficient than them blindly searching for opponents outside.
"Senior Fang Yang, do you think this arrangement is acceptable?" the middle-aged man asked cautiously.
"Hmm, very good, thank you for your trouble," Fang Yang nodded in approval.
Only then did the middle-aged man completely relax, a smile appearing on his face.
Led by the middle-aged man, everyone arrived at the battle arena within the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
The venue was spacious and bright, paved with special Materials.
Transparent spirit tool protective barriers rose around, ensuring that the energy impact during the competition would not leak out and harm others.
The first match was Xie Xie against Lei Ting.
Lei Ting, with his Thunder Leopard Spirit attached, was indeed astonishingly fast, transforming into a blue electric light and rushing straight towards Xie Xie.
Xie Xie's figure, however, was even more elusive, instantly breaking through space to appear beside Lei Ting.
The cold gleam of the Time-Space Dagger flashed and was gone, a touch-and-go strike.
The battle ended the moment it began.
"Xie Xie, wins!"
Lei Ting stood愣still, and after a long while, he said with a wry smile: "Such terrifying speed, I'm impressed."
Next was Xu Xiaoyan against another control system Spirit Master, Ji Jun.
Ji Jun's Vine Staff had just been swung, and his Spirit Ability had not yet fully unfolded.
Xu Xiaoyan's Star Staff was already twinkling, and the brilliant starlight instantly filled the venue.
The absolutely established Star Wheel Chains appeared out of thin air, landing on Ji Jun, freezing him and his not-yet-fully-activated Spirit in place, unable to move.
The match ended!
"This…"
Xie Xie and the others watched, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Xu Xiaoyan's strong control ability was simply an absolute Law, terrifying to such an extent.
Gu Yue's opponent was a defense System Battle Spirit Ancestor.
She was simple and brutal, instantly killing her opponent with a wave of elemental burst, making Xie Xie and the others break out in a cold sweat again.
In the subsequent battles, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi faced the other two attack system Spirit Masters respectively.
They also displayed terrifying strength, easily defeating their opponents.
The middle-aged man watching from the side was already dumbfounded.
These companions of Senior Fang Yang, so young, yet their strength was one more outrageous than the last, truly terrifying!
After these rounds of battles, everyone successfully completed the challenge tasks for their final exam.
The middle-aged man respectfully escorted them to the main entrance of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and expressed a warm welcome for Senior Fang Yang and everyone to visit again at any time.
Stepping out of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, it was already late.
As the streetlights came on, the night view of Heaven Dou City gradually revealed its prosperity in the night sky.
Wu Changkong looked at the group of excellent students around him, a slight smile appearing: "Your performance today was good."
And so, everyone returned to the hotel under the cover of night, each with a relaxed smile on their face from completing their mission.
The night passed without incident, and it was the next day.
As the rising sun shone through the curtains into the room, a new day began.
"Let's go, next stop!"
Fang Yang's voice woke everyone up.
And so, the group headed towards the Heaven Dou Soul Guidance Train Station.
Upon arriving at the station entrance, they were dumbfounded.
A blockade was set up at the station entrance, and a notice board clearly stated "Temporarily Closed" in large characters.
They inquired with an elderly man passing by and learned that due to recent attacks by Evil Soul Masters, Heaven Dou City had fully heightened its alert.
The Soul Guidance Train Station had also suspended operations, with no known reopening time.
"What should we do now?" Xie Xie frowned slightly.
Fang Yang pondered for a moment, then asked: "Who among you can drive?"
"I can drive!" Xie Xie immediately raised his hand upon hearing this.
"Good."
Fang Yang decisively said, "We'll buy a spirit tool car and drive ourselves to the next city."
They couldn't let the train suspension disrupt their original plan; time could not be wasted.
So, the group turned to a spirit tool car dealership in Heaven Dou City.
Inside the store, various models gleamed with a cold luster under the spirit tool lights, their streamlined bodies shimmering with metallic sheen.
"Wow, so many cars,"
Tang Wulin couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes scanning back and forth among the dazzling array of models.
"These cars are pretty good, which one should we buy?" Xie Xie asked, his gaze roving among the spirit tool cars.
"You pick, I'll pay," Fang Yang said calmly.
"Okay, no problem!"
Xie Xie, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi responded in unison.
After careful selection by the three, their gaze finally settled on a pure white six-seater spirit tool car.
Its streamlined body exuded understated luxury, and its spacious interior was enough to accommodate everyone.
"Then let's buy this one," Fang Yang said plainly.
The salesperson quickly stepped forward, a respectful smile on his face: "You all have such excellent taste! This is our store's latest luxury model, featuring the newest generation spirit tool power System…"
Fang Yang directly interrupted his introduction: "The price."
"One million federal currency."
The salesperson quickly quoted the price.
Fang Yang nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, we'll take it."
"Sir, will you be paying in cash or by card?" the salesperson asked.
"Cash."
As Fang Yang spoke, he took out the one million federal currency he had obtained from robbing Le Zhengyu earlier.
Le Zhengyu: "…Am I being tortured again?"
"Alright, sir!" the salesperson respectfully replied.
And so, Fang Yang bought a luxurious spirit tool car without batting an eye.
Wu Changkong watched silently from the side, without interfering.
As long as it didn't violate the exam rules, he wouldn't interfere with the students' decisions.
"Xie Xie, this car will be your responsibility, along with Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, taking turns," Fang Yang said.
"Huh?"
Everyone looked at Fang Yang, puzzled.
Fang Yang explained, "I have a mecha."
"What?! A mecha?!" Xie Xie's eyes immediately lit up.
No boy could resist the allure of a mecha.
"Fang Yang, when did you buy it?" Zhang Yangzi asked curiously.
Wu Changkong's gaze also turned towards him.
"It wasn't bought, it was given by a Senior," Fang Yang replied.
"I want one too…" Xie Xie murmured.
Suddenly, he reacted, turning to look at Tang Wulin, who had been silent all this time.
"Uh, actually… I have one too," Tang Wulin said a little embarrassedly.
"You guys are…" Xie Xie's eyes widened.
"It was also given by that Senior, I got one too," Tang Wulin slowly said.
"I'm crying with envy!" Xie Xie wailed.
"Teacher Wu, our mechas were given by a Senior at the Forging Master Association, is that not against the rules?" Fang Yang confirmed with Wu Changkong.
"Not against the rules," Wu Changkong nodded faintly.
"Fang Yang, Wu Lin, quickly bring them out for us to see!" Xie Xie was somewhat impatient.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yang and Tang Wulin simultaneously took out their mecha storage spirit tools.
The next moment, two mechas appeared before everyone. One was deep black, the other purple, with sharp lines and an imposing aura.
"Gu Yue, Xiao Yan, come on up," Fang Yang ascended to the cockpit, reaching out to help them.
Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan entered the cockpit in turn, sitting in the co-pilot seats.
The driver's seat required Fusion with the mecha for easy control and was a standing design with supporting structures. The co-pilot seat was set closely behind the main driver's seat and was a sitting design.
The internal space of the mecha was not spacious, especially the co-pilot seat, which was even more compact.
Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan sat shoulder to shoulder, their bodies almost touching.
Fang Yang could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from them, soft and soothing, making him unconsciously relax.
"Let's go, next stop!"
