Douluo: True and False Body of All Karmas

Chapter 40 Thank you
Returning to the East China Sea
Class Zero Training Ground

Wu Changkong was not here. He would go to the Tang Sect branch every few days to inquire about whether there was any news about the resurrected people. Sometimes he would bring Xie Xie and Tang Wulin with him. This was the special training time for Bai Xu and everyone else.

Xie Xie held the Light Dragon Dagger and the Shadow Dragon Dagger in his hands, with drops of cold sweat running down his cheeks. Bai Xu opposite him started with almost the same moves as him. Only when facing a stronger self, Xie Xie would feel the deep sense of powerlessness very clearly.

As a spirit master of the agility attack system, if his speed cannot give him an advantage, it means that all his tactics are meaningless.

But today, the situation might be different. He joined the Tang Sect together with Tang Wulin and obtained the Tang Sect's secret book, Ghost Shadow Steps. He has made some progress recently and should be able to surprise the enemy at the critical moment.

"Second soul skill, Light Dragon Storm!"

Driven by the Light Dragon Dagger, the strong golden light turned into a storm and crashed into the opponent. Bai Xu responded to Xie Xie with a green storm of almost the same intensity.

boom!
The gold and green collided and dissipated in mid-air.

Bai Xu stopped immediately after landing, but Xie Xie retreated several meters before stopping. It can be seen that even though Bai Xu deliberately controlled his soul power, the gap in physical fitness was still difficult to make up.

Xie Xie, who had just stabilized his body, was already exhausted physically and mentally. As an agile attack-type soul master, he had fought a high-intensity and protracted battle with Bai Xu for more than ten minutes. The unreserved release of his soul skills had exhausted him.

He stepped forward with the knife in hand again, striking calmly and evenly, as if admitting defeat; Bai Xu naturally would not miss it, as it was time for today's training to end.

However, just as he easily avoided the attack and stabbed Xie Xie with his dagger, Xie Xie's figure moved like a ghost, avoiding the attack, and turned the light dragon dagger in his hand, pointing directly at Bai Xu's lower waist. Xie Xie found Bai Xu's flaw, and this round was won by Xie Xie.

Ding!
A crisp sound was heard in the field. Xie Xie used the Ghost Shadow Step, and the fatal blow of the Light Dragon Dagger was ridiculously caught by the two fingers of Bai Xu's left hand, unable to move forward at all.

"Ah~~ I can't stand it anymore. I can't beat him, and I can't win no matter how hard I try. Bai Xu, your ability is too abnormal." Xie Xie admitted defeat and said with some complaints.

Bai Xu chuckled, stretched out his hand to pull Xie Xie up, and sighed, "Is there anything you can gain from fighting with me?"

Xie Xie nodded and reflected, "I've gained a lot. Thank you for taking up some of your time almost every week."

"That's good, at least these ten minutes weren't wasted."

"Xie Xie, you can now use your Ghost Shadow Step!" Tang Wulin was not surprised by this result. Instead, he was excited to come here and encourage Xie Xie.

Xie Xie seemed a little embarrassed, but the next moment he regained his cold and arrogant demeanor and said, "Of course, this young master has been studying this for quite some time."

Tang Wulin ignored the arrogant Xie Xie and turned to look at Bai Xu, eager to try: "Bai Xu, let's have another fight."

"No, according to Teacher Wu's arrangement, it will end after Wang Jinxi's turn. If you want, it will be your turn next week." Bai Xu righteously refused.

"Ok."

The three of them simultaneously turned their gaze to the audience. He sat in the audience with his head down, very silent. He didn't even pay attention to the situation on the training ground. He was completely immersed in his own world, even blocking out Bai Xu's shouts.

Bai Xu was puzzled: "What is he thinking?"

Tang Wulin replied, "It might be a problem with his martial spirit. His martial spirit was suppressed by my Golden Dragon Claw. That must have been very uncomfortable."

"Jinxi, what's wrong? It's your turn to train with Bai Xu." Zhang Yangzi stepped forward. Because of their martial soul fusion skills and their family background, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi had been friends since childhood. As time passed, this bond continued to deepen, seemingly poised to break through some kind of limit and reach a forbidden realm.

"Ah?" Wang Jinxi finally came back to his senses. Seeing everyone's eyes on the training ground focused on him, he felt very embarrassed and quickly waved his hand to excuse himself: "Forget it today. I feel a little unwell. I'm going back first!"

After saying that, he stood up and fled the scene without even caring about Zhang Yangzi.

"Oh, I'll have to let him figure this out." Bai Xu breathed a sigh of relief, looking a little relaxed. He announced, "Today's training ends here. Everyone, dismissed!"

Gu Yue sat alone, quietly watching the performance on the stage until Bai Xu announced the end. She then slowly stood up and joined Bai Xu. Her attitude was overly aloof, with an expression that kept everyone away except Bai Xu, and she seemed extremely reluctant to communicate. Wu Zhangkong sometimes saw Gu Yue in her current state as the Long Bing of the past, so he often arranged team collaborations to try to integrate Gu Yue into the team.

"Gu Yue." Tang Wulin greeted the girl in front of him. They had not spent much time together, and she seemed a little unfamiliar compared to Bai Xu.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue simply nodded in greeting without replying.

Tang Wulin clearly felt that the girl had a bit of prejudice against him, but he didn't know where this prejudice came from, and he could do nothing about it, so he could only smile bitterly.

"Do you want to go back?" Xie Xie asked.

"Yeah." Bai Xu nodded.

"Then you guys go first. Wulin and I are going to the Tang Sect later."

"it is good."

Class Zero was thus divided into three groups, each going its own way.

Watching Gu Yue and Bai Xu gradually walk away, Xie Xie patted Tang Wulin's shoulder and sighed, "Wulin, did you offend Gu Yue in some way?"

Tang Wulin felt puzzled and explained, "I wouldn't go looking for trouble right after school starts like you do. Maybe that's just Gu Yue's personality."

"You say that again? Who caused the trouble? It wasn't you in the first place."

The two of them chatted happily as they walked towards the school gate.

Gu Yue is now so skilled that she doesn't even knock on Bai Xu's door, but just pushes it open and walks in.

"Is there something wrong?" Bai Xu asked.

Gu Yue nodded, found a seat at the desk, and said with a hint of pleading in her tone, "I really can't figure it out myself, so I wanted to come to you for help."

"what?"

"Like the information Na'er sent back, the martial spirit named Tang Jun is obviously related to the law of causality that I have never heard of. I would like to ask what the law of causality is and how to deal with this almost conceptual martial spirit." Gu Yue said sincerely.

"Hiss~~~~" Bai Xu took a deep breath and shook his head. "I don't know how to explain it either. This kind of law should exist in the world. For example, time travel back to the past will disrupt cause and effect to varying degrees. The law of cause and effect is to prevent this from happening."

"As for how to deal with it, either counterbalance it with a Causality Martial Soul, or crush it with a higher rank. Tang Jun's Martial Soul sounds mysterious, but it's probably only effective against Soul Venerables and below. If Yun Ming were struck by his Martial Soul, the idea that he would be defeated would be completely ineffective. Unless his cultivation reaches the Titled Douluo level, it might be effective against Yun Ming. And defeat doesn't mean death, so his Causality Martial Soul is okay, not that invincible."

"So, you're going to fight with a higher level of cultivation?"

"That's understandable."

Gu Yue nodded: "Thank you."

"It's okay." Bai Xu waved his hand, signaling Gu Yue to leave if she was alright. But she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you for the Star Dou Great Forest matter, too."

"What do you mean?" Bai Xu was puzzled.

Gu Yue explained, "Di Tian and the others sent news that perhaps the change in rules has also affected the soul beasts. The bloodline talents of the newly born soul beasts are changing, and they seem to be more powerful."

Gu Yue's heart gradually wavered, and the future seemed to be even brighter.
