Douluo: True and False Wanye Body

The first stage of the assessment was successfully passed. Both Bai Xu and Gu Yue withstood the Black Dragon's pressure by relying on their own mental force. This was not a rare occurrence and was not enough to cause a sensation.

Since this stage was established, there have indeed been many geniuses who successfully passed with powerful mental force, and without exception, they entered the Inner Courtyard.

The assessment Teacher at most sighed a little, and then focused their attention on the next batch of candidates entering the arena.

The second and third assessments were successfully passed. Bai Xu and Gu Yue advanced like a broken bamboo towards the fourth stage.

They did not encounter any difficulties from Cai Lao, nor were there any sudden incidents; it was just a simple test.

The assessment difficulty for Tang Wulin and others was extremely high, largely because they used Wu Changkong's connections and were late for the test, which attracted the Outer Courtyard Dean, Silver Moon Douluo Cai Lao, to personally supervise the exam, leading to a series of subsequent conflicts.

However, it was a pity that Bai Xu's second profession, battle armor technology, did not pass the standard, and his score was heavily affected.

Gu Yue, on the other hand, was excellent, getting a perfect score in her mecha sub-profession.

The assessment Teacher commented, "You are still young, and not having battle armor is quite normal. Currently, your results are extremely outstanding. You only need to pass the final assessment to become a qualified Inner Courtyard disciple."

"However, after joining the Inner Courtyard, if you don't successfully become a battle armor master before the specified age limit, you will very likely be demoted to the Outer Courtyard at that time."

"I understand, Teacher! May I ask what the final assessment is?" Bai Xu asked.

"Actual combat between Spirit Masters."

"That's no problem."

Three minutes later.

Bai Xu walked out easily, successfully enrolling as an Inner Courtyard disciple.

Gu Yue also defeated an Outer Courtyard student one level higher than herself, successfully becoming a glorious Shrek disciple.

Gu Yue and Bai Xu strolled around Shrek, and she asked, "The Outer Courtyard exam was nothing special, and I always feel that the atmosphere within Shrek Academy today is very heavy. Is it related to the chaos in East Sea yesterday?"

Last night, Bai Xu displayed his divine abilities in front of her. Early this morning, before the assessment began, news spread.

East Sea City was attacked by Sea Soul Beasts. The tide of Soul Corpses surged forward, fearless of death, and actually broke through the sturdy human defense line while carrying soul guidance technology weapons. Some reporters captured the scene at the time and made it into a news report.

The Douluo Federation also stepped forward in time, announcing the end of the disaster. The Sea Soul Beast leader was killed on the spot. At the end of the program, they also specifically thanked the legendary Tang Sect and the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.

Without their timely intervention, the disaster would likely have continued to expand.

Bai Xu nodded, "Probably. After all, it's the first Soul Corpse tide in history. The Federal government, Tang Sect, and Spirit Transfer Pagoda have very little information on Soul Corpses. Now, having experienced this Soul Corpse tide, they have obtained a large number of Zombie remains. It's not an exaggeration for the leaders of various forces to personally step in."

Unlike the confused crowd, Gu Yue directly asked Bai Xu, "What are the characteristics of Soul Corpses?"

Bai Xu summarized, "The fragile human body turns into a corpse body, which is indestructible; after possibly becoming a Soul Corpse, they might gain some abilities that their original Spirit didn't possess. Furthermore, to become stronger, they must devour spirit power and Spirits. That's about it."

"Isn't this superior to human Spirit Masters in all aspects? And the characteristic of having to devour spirit power and Spirit Masters to become stronger... it sounds like an advanced version of the relationship between humans and Spirit Beasts." Gu Yue felt somewhat ashamed.

From the perspective of human society's definition, Zombies are Evil Soul Masters. To become stronger, they can only devour, making them natural enemies of Spirit Masters.

Just like the relationship between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts, once Spirit Beasts are extinct, Spirit Masters will also perish with them; but if Spirit Masters perish, will Zombies still be produced?

Perhaps no one knows except Bai Xu.

East Sea.

The corpse of the giant octopus lay across the coastline, split in two, for various research institutions to continuously extract tissue. It remained uncorrupted after death and was exceptionally hard.

The surrounding terrain was already in ruins. High-rise buildings near the sea were destroyed, and there were ruins everywhere. The Spirit Transfer Pagoda and Tang Sect jointly sealed off the area and continuously sent their respective researchers to collect samples. This was the first time humans clearly understood the creature known as Zombie.

A thousand meters above the ground.

The number one person in the world today, Shrek Academy Dean, Yun Ming, stood with his hands behind his back, looking slightly somberly at the enormous Sea Soul Beast body below. Then, he curved his five fingers, reached out and grabbed, and the next moment a piece of flesh appeared in his palm. The Zombie flesh was black and red, without any activity or vitality, and even the blood that flowed out was completely still.

However, there was a certain law contained within its body and flesh, which it possessed from birth. Logically speaking... such a creature should not appear on the Douluo Continent.

"Not only is the body hard, but it can even heal itself? Did the Divinity in the prophetic dream change some of the laws of the Douluo Continent, leading to the birth of this creature?" Yun Ming pondered, getting straight to the core of the problem.

"A 300,000-year-old Blue Ringed Octopus, how did it turn into a Soul Corpse? And how did it die? This level of cultivation gives it every advantage in the deep sea. Even if powerful individuals surround it, it's extremely difficult to kill it."

"Could it have been done by the mysterious Zombies that attacked the Tang Sect's treasure land recently?"

Thinking of this, he already had an answer in his heart: it was highly possible.

They are currently hidden in the dark. As soon as they act, they strike directly at the vital points of the forces, moving swiftly and leaving no trace.

Like rats in a sewer, difficult to catch.

Thinking of this, Yun Ming let out a cold snort, then crushed the flesh in his hand and said, "Even turning into a Soul Corpse is just another way of living. Life will still die if killed."

Clearly, the combination of a hard Spirit Beast body and a Soul Corpse Zombie body was not enough to make Qingtian Douluo take it seriously. As the current number one person, he had very few opponents.

However, suffering from being unable to catch the manipulator behind the Zombies, he felt slightly annoyed. It had been many years since Yun Ming had experienced such emotions.

Just then, a green light flashed beside him, and a gentle and elegant woman in a green dress appeared behind him.

Yun Ming's expression immediately cleared up, and he looked over with a hint of hope, only to see Ya Li shaking her head slightly and sighing, "Soul Corpses don't have any specific attributes. They don't belong to darkness, nor do they belong to evil. They are not Evil Soul Masters. They haven't surpassed the definition of humans."

"My Spirit cannot exert any suppression on Zombies."

"Moreover, under my examination, they are more like corpses that have been dead for a long time, and now have been given new life by a descending law."

"Weren't those corpse hordes captured for interrogation? Are there any clues?" Yun Ming asked again.

Ya Li shook her head, "There are very few intelligent life forms among the corpse hordes, and even fewer Zombies that can communicate normally with humans. Most are unconscious walking corpses. Spirit Masters' Spirits and spirit power have a fatal attraction to them."

"The result obtained by the Tang Sect's researchers is that Zombies become stronger after devouring Spirit Masters' Spirits and spirit power."

"To some extent, the relationship between Zombies and Spirit Masters is like that between Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts."

Hearing this, Yun Ming pondered for a long time, shaking his head repeatedly and lamenting, "Could it be that humans have taken too much from the plane over the years, thus giving birth to a Divinity who modified the laws and created the Zombie species, feeding on Spirit Masters, intending to restore balance to the plane?"

Yun Ming was very clear about what Zombies meant to Spirit Masters. The dead are resurrected again, and Zombies are endless, produced from Spirit Masters. They are like natural enemies, restraining humans in various aspects.

"Brother Ming..." Ya Li also looked slightly worried. She had also had a prophetic dream. It was about a Divinity appearing on the Extreme North Ice Field, leading the corpse horde, and the Abyss Plane raging.

"Heh, Ya Li, don't worry. Man will conquer nature. While Zombies are indeed powerful and can be said to crush Spirit Masters at the same level, the advantage in soul guidance technology accumulated by humanity over tens of thousands of years will not be lost."

"The East Sea Soul Corpse tide was sudden, and the various departments didn't have corresponding emergency measures."

"With today's changes, the Federal government will certainly attach great importance to it. The next time a Soul Corpse tide appears, what awaits them will probably be high-level soul guidance rays and fixed soul guidance artillery shells. If the corpse horde thinks they can exterminate humanity with sheer numbers, that's simply wishful thinking."

Just as the two were discussing serious matters, a figure quietly reappeared high in the sky.

The newcomer's appearance was like jade, their temperament like fire, passionate yet not lacking in charm, devastatingly beautiful, full of the vitality of the sun.

Their figure was graceful and tall, like the most beautiful decoration, not inferior in the slightest compared to Ya Li beside Yun Ming.

It was none other than the current Spirit Transfer Pagoda Vice Spirit Pagoda Master, Leng Yaozhu.

Seeing Yun Ming and Ya Li's affectionate appearance, she couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy rise in her heart, but she still maintained her composure and greeted with a light laugh, "It's been a long time, Yun Ming."

Yun Ming, however, chuckled, "It seems today's events have truly startled quite a few people, even you have come. Is Qiangu Dongfeng here?"

After speaking, a figure quietly walked out from the clouds, standing in front of Leng Yaozhu, silent.

The Spirit Transfer Pagoda Spirit Pagoda Master and the Sea God Pavilion Master.

Although not stated openly, the conflict between the two forces was already irreconcilable.

"Yaozhu, let's go."

Qiangu Dongfeng did not speak to Yun Ming, but descended directly, seemingly heading to the primary scene of the incident.

As he left, he glanced at the woman he admired.

What a scene this was.

Leng Yaozhu looked affectionately at Yun Ming, while Yun Ming's eyes were emotionless, holding Ya Li's hand. Qiangu Dongfeng looked at the affectionate Leng Yaozhu, and his mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.

After a moment, Leng Yaozhu still sighed and descended with Spirit Pagoda Master Qiangu.
