Douluo: True and False Wanye Body

Gu Yue and Bai Xu strolled through the dense great forest. Bai Xu felt that the environment here was worlds apart from the core area of the Star Dou, while Gu Yue felt a sense of déjà vu. The Spirit Ascension Platform was indeed a great miracle created by the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.

Her hands continuously rubbed out green light, which transformed into small green birds in the air. They spread their wings and soared, turning into wind birds that cruised through the sky, constantly scouting the surroundings centered around the two of them. While avoiding some thousand-year Spirit Beasts, they continued to go deeper.

Gu Yue said, "The Spirit Ascension Platforms are actually interconnected. As long as your cultivation hasn't reached four rings and you have the strength to continue deeper, it's possible to reach the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. However, crossing this barrier will inevitably lead to encountering even stronger Spirit Beasts. The Spirit Transfer Pagoda naturally considered this when designing this barrier; the Spirit Beasts in the deeper areas are very troublesome for Spirit Masters below four rings. Therefore, very few people can advance from the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform."

"Then let's try to see if we can reach the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform," Bai Xu replied in a relaxed tone. His experience so far had been quite good.

"Okay."

Gu Yue's wind bird scouting was particularly efficient. She could almost synchronize with the wind birds' vision and make judgments accordingly. Coupled with Bai Xu's lack of interest in hunting low-level Spirit Beasts, the two of them were almost unimpeded and successfully went deeper.

The vegetation began to become denser, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, resulting in dimmer light. Visibility was restricted, and the air was filled with more plant smells. This area already had a hint of the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, roughly equivalent to the edge of the mixed zone in the Star Dou Great Forest back then.

"Be careful, visibility is limited, and my wind birds won't be of much use," Gu Yue reminded.

Hearing this, Bai Xu summoned his Soul Spirit. The thousand-year Needle Tailed Swift appeared again. He gently stroked its body and said, "It's your turn to appear. Scout at low altitude, don't go too far."

Coo!

The Needle Tailed Swift received the command, flapping its wings and flying ahead of the two.

Gu Yue was slightly surprised to see this Soul Spirit. She rarely saw Bai Xu use Soul Spirits or spirit rings in combat, almost always relying on the stats of his Spirit to quickly clear the way. Summoning a thousand-year Soul Spirit now was quite unexpected. She sighed, "A thousand-year Needle Tailed Swift?"

"Is there a problem?" Bai Xu said, quickening his pace slightly to walk in front of Gu Yue, indicating that he would lead the way from now on.

Gu Yue followed Bai Xu's steps and replied, "No, it just feels a bit contradictory. I thought your first Soul Spirit would be some powerful Spirit Beast. Although the Needle Tailed Swift is good at speed, it has no offensive capability. Most of the time, they rely on speed and stamina to shake off natural predators."

Bai Xu waved his hand, a little helpless: "No choice, I didn't have many resources before. It's good enough to have a Soul Spirit."

Outside the Platform

Wu Changkong and a group of staff members were naturally keeping a close eye on the Zero Class members, not missing a single scene. Zhang Yangzi had already been eliminated, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin had met up, Bai Xu and Gu Yue had met up, and Wang Jinxi was still exploring alone.

However, Gu Yue and Bai Xu seemed to be intentionally moving deeper.

Seeing that the situation wasn't right, a staff member immediately stood up and reported to Teacher Wu, "These two children are only at the two-ring level. If they go any deeper, they might encounter even more powerful Spirit Beasts. Should we have them withdraw early?"

"No need, let them explore freely."

Wu Changkong was also slightly surprised to see Bai Xu's Needle Tailed Swift Soul Spirit, but it was within acceptable limits. Bai Xu's Spirit was special enough to enhance the Spirit Master's physical qualities in all aspects. Being able to possess a thousand-year first Soul Spirit at this age was indeed worthy of the title of genius.

Furthermore, he had said he wanted to enroll in Shrek Academy, so he had to display the potential of a monster.

Inside the Spirit Ascension Platform

Having gone so deep, Bai Xu also unleashed his Spirit. The special effects were incredibly cool, causing Gu Yue, who was following behind, to frequently look sideways. She curiously reached her hand into the green flames and found that there was no burning sensation at all, touching Bai Xu's shoulder without any obstruction.

Gu Yue asked in confusion, "Not fire attribute?"

"My Spirit is just expressed in the form of green flames, it's not a fire attribute."

"Does it have a name?"

"Yes, it's called 'Both Real and Fake Myriad Karma Body'. In a sense, it's a Body Spirit," Bai Xu explained.

Just as Gu Yue's curiosity grew stronger, she saw Bai Xu's gaze gradually sharpen, his eyes glowing with green fire, staring directly at a dark shadow in the forest to his front right.

The next moment, Gu Yue also felt that fierce aura. But she was more concerned about Bai Xu's reaction; his perception was even sharper than hers by a few points.

Roar!

A fierce beast roar echoed through the forest, startling countless flocks of birds into flight. A majestic figure emerged from the shadows, its tall body exceeding three meters, covered in dark gold fur. Its eyes were devoid of any emotion, filled with indifference and cruelty.

Its arms were particularly large and thick, and both front claws were dark gold blades, each over a meter long. As it spread its thick arms, the sharp claws merely sliced through the air as its body moved, producing a faint "hissing" sound.

"Heh, this version of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is really ill-fated~~" Bai Xu couldn't help but sigh. Xiong Jun, the Ferocious Beast, died, leaving Bai Xu with his left palm bone; and now this one, which might drop a right palm bone, has encountered Bai Xu, and its fate is likely grim.

"It's up to you," Gu Yue wisely retreated to the side. After spending a long time together, she also realized that Bai Xu really enjoyed fighting, especially close-quarters combat that tested speed and strength.

"Roar~~~"

The beast's roar gradually lowered. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear also seemed to sense the threat emanating from Bai Xu. Its dark gold fur stood on end, its sharp claws scraped the ground, and deep within its eyes, a bloodthirsty crimson glow appeared.

Bai Xu also slowly lowered his body, adopting a starting stance.

The two were ready to clash. Both were masters of speed and strength. The ground beneath their feet slightly caved in, and they instantly sprang forward, their claws and palms colliding in an instant.

Rustle!

A strong wave of air spread out, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle. A series of collision sounds echoed through the forest; it was the impact of dark gold claws and flesh. Gold and green constantly intertwined, and the high-intensity battle was so exhilarating.

Gu Yue retreated to the side, just watching quietly, estimating Bai Xu's limit in her heart.

The strength Bai Xu was displaying now was level 25, and he still had many hidden cards he hadn't used. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Spirit Bone and the third ten-thousand-year spirit ring, if either were used, would be enough to instantly kill the hundred-year-level Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in front of them, not to mention the sword move from last time and the myriad karma fruit.

"So fast..." Gu Yue was secretly startled.

It wasn't just her; even Wu Changkong outside the platform couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. It was hard to imagine that Bai Xu's Spirit could enhance his body to such an extent, allowing him to be evenly matched with a hundred-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear at the two-ring level, and even subtly suppress it.

This was already a combat power that a Super Spirit couldn't explain.

The staff members were even more dumbfounded, exclaiming, "This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is the guardian of the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform! It's actually going back and forth with a two-ring Spirit Grandmaster? If this continues, perhaps these two students really have a chance to break through the barrier of the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform and enter the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform!"
