As soon as these words came out, they immediately drew envious glances from everyone…
Xie Xie smacked his lips, "I thought the Spirit Pagoda was joking, I never expected they would actually offer an Immortal Herb as a reward."
Yue Zhengyu also sighed, "Yeah, if not for the fact that Wulin is our brother, I would have challenged the final champion no matter what!"
Xu Xiaoyan said in confusion, "What's the big deal, who among us here hasn't consumed Immortal Herbs?"
Yuanen Yehui nodded slightly, "Mm, it's precisely because we've consumed them that Wulin only improved by four levels, otherwise... he could have improved even more!"
Immortal Herbs, after all, do not grant greater benefits the more you consume—only the first ingestion unlocks their full potential!
Tang Wulin shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, I wasn't planning on using the Immortal Herb, but then I thought of the final test to succeed as the next Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, which requires me to break through to become a Titled Douluo within three months!"
"Under normal circumstances, cultivation would definitely not be enough, so this Immortal Herb is like an emergency aid."
All I have to do is consolidate my foundation in my subsequent cultivation...
Xu Lizhi muttered, "The Tang Sect's assessments are really tricky, breaking through four levels in three months, who else could do it!"
Ye Xinglan changed the subject, "Wulin, what are you planning to do next?"
Xie Xie teased, "Xiao Yan, do you even need to ask that question? He's obviously going to spend time with Gu Yue, otherwise why else would he expend so much effort to participate in the martial arts competition for marriage?"
Tang Wulin ignored the former and answered, "I plan to first obtain my ninth soul ring from the Spirit Pagoda, then head to the Tang Sect!"
I can't keep Sect Master Zang and all the Hall Masters waiting too long!
Yue Zhengyu's eyes lit up, "Since we have nothing else to do, we'll go with you."
Tang Wulin nodded, "Of course, you can!"
After a pause, he looked at Gu Yue next to him with eyes full of affection, "Gu Yue, do you want to come with us?"
Gu Yue shook her head, "I won't go. Like you, I also need to prepare for what's required to succeed as the Spirit Pagoda's Master!"
In her eyes, the position of the Spirit Pagoda's Master was more important than her own personal feelings!
A hint of disappointment flashed through Tang Wulin's eyes, "I see… that's really a shame."
After a brief reunion, they would have to part ways for a while again...
Gu Yue gently soothed him, "Once I've succeeded as the Spirit Pagoda's Master, we will have plenty of time!"
…
Several days later, the Spirit Pagoda officially announced the launch of the "Ten Thousand Beast Platform"!
This move directly resulted in an overflow of people at both the Spirit Pagoda headquarters and its branches, attracting numerous Soul Masters...
One of the Spirit Pagoda Members smiled as he looked at the Soul Masters before him...
He explained, "Welcome to the Spirit Pagoda. This is our latest invention, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, featuring a space even more realistic than the Spirit Ascension Platform, with a significantly more pronounced effect on the enhancement of Soul Masters. The first use only costs one million federation coins!"
Having said that, he activated the Ten Thousand Beast Platform's device, and a light door brimming with a sense of technology materialized before their eyes...
Down below, the Soul Masters instantly erupted into excitement, "Is this the Spirit Pagoda's new invention, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform? This tech vibe completely surpasses the Spirit Ascension Platform by several grades!!"
"That's right, its effects must be unmatched by the Spirit Ascension Platform!"
"It's amazing, the price of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform is just a bit higher than the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, definitely the top choice!"
"The Spirit Pagoda finally has some conscience, not setting the price too high!"
```
"Don't waste any more words, I want to try the Ten Thousand Beast Platform right now—it's just a measly million federation coins, I've got plenty of money!"
Seeing this, the Spirit Pagoda Member returned an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, dear guests. Using the Ten Thousand Beast Platform requires a reservation in advance. If you would like to be among the first batch of users, please sign up over there!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately stirred up the Soul Masters' indignation...
"What?? I'm ready to spend a million federation coins to use the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, and you're telling me I need to make a reservation? Does the Spirit Pagoda not want to make money?"
"I just looked, and there are only five hundred spots for the first batch of reservations, which are all taken already!"
"Only five hundred reservations for the first batch? And it's already full! Is the Spirit Pagoda playing us for fools? This is so disappointing!"
"Let's go, let's go. With the way things are, we won't get a turn until next year! In my opinion, we might as well just keep using the Spirit Ascension Platform!"
"Pah, this is just hunger marketing. We can't fall for Spirit Pagoda's tricks; if all else fails, we can just use the federation's Star Dou Battle Network, which I heard is about to launch some new features!"
The entire scene suddenly descended into chaos...
Just then, Gu Yue came down the stairs and, upon seeing this, asked in puzzlement, "What's going on?"
The Spirit Pagoda Member bowed their head, "Young Tower Master, the promotional effect for our new product, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, has been very good."
"But with the number of people who want to use it in the first batch being too high, plus only five hundred reservation spots available, it has led to dissatisfaction among the Soul Masters!"
Hearing this, Gu Yue pondered for a moment before commanding, "Go, increase the first batch of reservation spots for the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to three thousand, and cut the price in half!"
The first exclaimed, "What? Young Tower Master, the reservation plan and the pricing were decided by the Pagoda Master; if I were to arbitrarily..."
Gu Yue glanced at her and said indifferently, "It's alright, I will explain it to the Pagoda Master later."
The Spirit Pagoda Member hesitated for a moment but chose to do as told...
They then announced to the Soul Masters in front, "After discussions by the high-level executives of the Spirit Pagoda, in order to give back to the Soul Masters who have always supported the Spirit Pagoda, we are increasing the reservation spots for the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to three thousand, and also, the price will be halved!"
Instantly, the chaotic scene stabilized...
At least, it dissipated the grievances of most Soul Masters by quite a bit...
...
Contrastingly, the federation seemed much quieter!
One of the federation's higher-ups suddenly slammed their fist onto the table and snapped coldly, "This Ten Thousand Beast Platform that the Spirit Pagoda has developed is causing a significant decrease in the use of our federation's Star Dou Battle Network!"
"And that's with the reservation requirement in place—if there were no limit on the number of people for the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, it would only explode in popularity even more."
Another federation higher-up said calmly, "There's no need to panic. I've already sent someone to reserve a spot on this Ten Thousand Beast Platform. We'll have to see what's so special about it!"
"In my opinion, this Ten Thousand Beast Platform is just sensationalism; there's nothing innovative about it!"
"In terms of artificial intelligence, our federation has been leading the Spirit Pagoda for many years!"
"That's right, the Star Dou Battle Network is the culmination of many years of our research; there's no way it can be easily surpassed!"
The leader of the group took a deep breath, "Regardless, let's all calm down. If the effects of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform are truly as the Spirit Pagoda claims, it is definitely intended for internal use; there's no chance they would open it to the public!"
