Returning the line of sight to East Sea.

Zero Class training ground.

Wu Changkong wasn't here. Every few days, he would go to the Tang Sect Branch to inquire if there was any news of the resurrected. Sometimes he would bring Xie Xie and Tang Wulin with him. At this time, it was Bai Xu's and everyone else's special training time.

Xie Xie held the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger, cold sweat dripping down his cheeks. Bai Xu, opposite him, had almost the same starting stance. Only when facing a stronger version of himself did Xie Xie feel that deep sense of powerlessness so clearly.

As an agility-attack system Spirit Master, when speed couldn't gain an advantage, it meant that all his tactics lost their meaning.

But today, the situation might be different. He and Tang Wulin joined the Tang Sect together and obtained the Tang Sect secret technique, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Recently, they had made some progress, which should be able to catch the opponent off guard at a crucial moment.

This book is first published on the entire network.

“Second Spirit Ability, Light Dragon Storm!”

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

Bang!

Gold and green collided, dissipating in mid-air.

Bai Xu stopped his steps after landing, while Xie Xie retreated several meters before stopping his figure. It could be seen that even though Bai Xu deliberately controlled his spirit power, the gap in physical quality was still difficult to bridge.

Xie Xie, who had just stabilized his figure, was already physically and mentally exhausted. As an agility-attack system Spirit Master, he had fought a high-intensity, prolonged battle with Bai Xu for over ten minutes. Releasing his Spirit Ability without reservation had left him unable to continue.

He clenched his dagger again and stepped forward, delivering a calm and steady strike, as if actively admitting defeat. Bai Xu naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity; today's training should also end.

However, just as he easily avoided the attack and counter-stabbed Xie Xie with his dagger, Xie Xie's figure shifted and moved like a Gui Mei, avoiding the strike. His Light Dragon Dagger in hand turned, pointing directly at Bai Xu's lower back. Xie Xie found Bai Xu's weakness, and this round was won by Xie Xie.

Clang!

A crisp sound echoed in the arena. Xie Xie used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and the Light Dragon Dagger's killing blow was absurdly clamped by Bai Xu's left hand's two fingers, unable to advance even an inch.

“Ah~~ I can't stand it anymore. Can't defeat you in a fight, can't win in a struggle. Bai Xu, your ability is too abnormal.” Xie Xie actively admitted defeat, complaining slightly.

Bai Xu chuckled, reached out to pull Xie Xie up, and sighed, “Did you gain anything from fighting me?”

Xie Xie nodded, reflecting, “I gained a lot. Thank you, you take up some of your time almost every week.”

“That's good, at least these ten-plus minutes weren't wasted.”

“Xie Xie, you can already use your Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!” Tang Wulin was not surprised by this result; instead, he was excited and encouraged Xie Xie.

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

Tang Wulin didn't pay attention to the arrogant Xie Xie, turned his head to look at Bai Xu, with an eager expression, “Bai Xu, let's have another round.”

“No, according to Teacher Wu's arrangement, it's Wang Jinxi's turn next, and then training will end. If you want, wait until next week when it's your turn.” Bai Xu righteously refused.

“Alright.”

The three of them simultaneously shifted their gazes to the audience seats. He sat there blankly, head lowered, very silent, not even paying attention to the situation on the training ground, completely immersed in his own World. Even Bai Xu's calls were blocked out.

Bai Xu asked in confusion, “What is he thinking about?”

Tang Wulin replied, “Maybe it's a problem with his Spirit. His Spirit is suppressed by my Golden Dragon Claw. That feeling must be very uncomfortable.”

“Jinxi, what's wrong? It's your turn to train with Bai Xu.” Zhang Yangzi walked forward. Due to their Spirit fusion skill and family background, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi had been friends since childhood. As time passed, this feeling continued to deepen, seemingly on the verge of breaking through some restriction and reaching a forbidden Domain.

“Ah?” Wang Jinxi finally snapped back to reality, looking at the crowd on the training ground whose eyes were focused on him, feeling extremely awkward. He quickly waved his hand to decline, “Forget about today, I'm feeling a bit unwell, I'll go back first!”

With that, he got up and fled the scene, not even bothering with Zhang Yangzi.

“Oh well, he has to figure it out himself.” Bai Xu let out a long sigh of relief, slightly relaxed, and announced, “Today's training ends here, everyone is dismissed!”

Gu Yue sat alone to the side, quietly watching the performance on the stage until Bai Xu announced the end. Only then did she slowly get up and walk to Bai Xu's side.

Her attitude was too indifferent; except for Bai Xu, she had an expression that seemed to say 'strangers keep away,' seemingly extremely unwilling to interact with others. Wu Changkong sometimes saw the current Gu Yue like he saw Long Bing in the past, so he often arranged team collaborations, trying to help Gu Yue integrate into the team.

“Gu Yue.” Tang Wulin greeted the girl in front of him. They hadn't spent much time together, so compared to Bai Xu, they seemed a bit unfamiliar.

Gu Yue nodded in acknowledgment upon hearing this but did not reply.

Tang Wulin clearly felt that the girl held a slight prejudice against him, but he didn't know where this prejudice came from and was helpless, only able to force a bitter smile.

“Are you guys going back?” Xie Xie asked.

“Yes.” Bai Xu nodded.

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

“Okay.”

Zero Class thus split into three groups, each going their separate ways.

Watching Gu Yue and Bai Xu gradually walk away, Xie Xie lightly patted Tang Wulin's shoulder and sighed, “Wulin, did you somehow provoke Gu Yue?”

Tang Wulin felt confused and explained, “I wouldn't go looking for trouble like you did when school just started. Maybe Gu Yue's personality is just like this.”

“Are you saying that again? Who looked for trouble? Wasn't it you back then...”

The two of them continued their back and forth, walking cheerfully towards the school gate.

Dormitory.

Gu Yue was now so skilled that she didn't knock on Bai Xu's door, but simply pushed it open and entered.

“Something wrong?” Bai Xu asked.

Gu Yue lightly nodded her head, found a seat by 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 clarification.”

“What?”

“In the information Na'er sent back, that person named Tang Jun's Spirit is clearly related to the never-before-heard Causality. I want to ask what Causality is, and how to deal with this almost conceptual Spirit.” Gu Yue said sincerely.

“Hiss~~~~” Bai Xu took a deep breath of cold air and shook his head, “I don't know how to explain it either. This kind of law should inherently exist in the World. It's like time traveling back to the past will disrupt Causality to different degrees. Causality is to prevent this kind of thing from happening.”

“As for how to deal with it... either use a Causality Spirit to counteract a Causality Spirit, or crush it with a higher 位格 (rank/status/divine position). Although Tang Jun's Spirit sounds very profound, it probably only works on people below Spirit Elder. If Yun Ming were hit by his Spirit, the concept of definitely being defeated by him would absolutely not work. Unless his cultivation reaches the Titled Douluo level, it might be effective against Yun Ming. Moreover, defeat does not equal death, so his Causality Spirit is still okay, not that heaven-defying.”

“So, it's about fighting with a higher cultivation?”

“You can understand it that way.”

Gu Yue nodded, “Thank you.”

“No problem.” Bai Xu waved his hand, indicating that Gu Yue could leave if there was nothing else. But she hesitated for a moment and said, “Thank you for the matter of the Star Dou Great Forest as well...”

“What do you mean by that?” Bai Xu asked in confusion.

Gu Yue explained, “Di Tian and the others sent news that perhaps the change in rules has also affected the Spirit Beasts. The bloodline talent of newborn Spirit Beasts has begun to change, seemingly becoming stronger.”

Gu Yue's heart gradually wavered. The future seemed to be even broader.
