Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 18 finally came to an end.

Bai Xu glanced at Gu Yue, who was deep in thought, and decided not to disturb her any longer. He turned and waved goodbye, saying, "Think about it slowly on your own. I'm going back now. I hope to see you at school tomorrow."

As they approached the door, they heard unusual words.

Gu Yue seemed to be testing Bai Xu's limits, her words tinged with sarcasm, "Since the spiritual imprint is already deeply ingrained, why bother pretending? Humans are most prone to breaking promises, and who knows if you truly keep your word according to your law of cause and effect?"

Bai Xu paused, turned back and gave a deep look, his eyes cold, and said, "Your words make it seem as if you are the victim, and I, who was attacked for no reason, have become the perpetrator."

"Silver Dragon may be beautiful and captivating, but that doesn't define my actions. If it weren't for the assassination attempt, I wouldn't bother with you, who are slowly dying."

"I will only stand quietly by your side, watching you build a tall building, watching you entertain guests, and watching your building collapse."

The door slowly closed, and Bai Xu's cold gaze remained fixed on Gu Yue, making her feel incredibly guilty.

Bai Xu has a clear understanding of her, the soul beasts, the divine realm behind Tang Wulin, and even himself. Gu Yue cannot find any flaws in Bai Xu, which is undoubtedly terrifying.

Gu Yue sensed that Bai Xu's question to Di Tian was a test for the soul beast. He knew the location of the Dragon Tomb and deliberately asked the question. If Di Tian answered against his wishes or concealed the truth, it might bring disaster to the soul beast.

This person made Gu Yue feel that no matter how hard she tried, she could never escape his control; the mental imprint had been planted, and he would probably carry his shadow for the rest of her life.

next day

Early morning physical training class

Gu Yue arrived early for her morning run. After a night of reflection, she seemed to have truly calmed down. However, even though she was well-prepared, she was still somewhat stunned when she saw Bai Xu again.

"Gu Yue!" But Bai Xu greeted him with a smile in front of his classmates, as if nothing had happened last night.

Bai Xu is also so innocent and kind.

Gu Yue nodded in greeting and then joined the training.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin came side by side and said, "Hey, Gu Yue, did you know? We'll be representing Class 5 of Grade 1 in the promotion tournament."

Who are they?

Xie Xie replied, "Teacher Wu said that you, me, Wu Lin, and Bai Xu, with Bai Xu as the substitute and the last to perform, mean that the three of us are the main players!"

Gu Yue remained expressionless and continued, "Do you know when the promotion tournament is?"

"Two months from now... that's still a long time. Tonight, before our special training with Teacher Wu, let's go grab something to eat. It's on me." Xie Xie, as a wealthy young master from Donghai City, was quite confident in his financial resources.

Gu Yue glanced at Bai Xu secretly and replied, "Okay!"

"Bai Xu, what about you?" Xie Xie asked.

Bai Xu laughed and said, "I can too."

Rest period

Gu Yue sat down in front of Bai Xu. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and the intense exercise made her chest rise and fall slightly. Gu Yue was wearing iron armor today, and she received the same treatment as Bai Xu and the other two, which showed that she was determined to improve herself.

She said, "I have already introduced you to the Spirit Pagoda. Tomorrow we will use this as an excuse to ask for a long leave so that we can travel to and from the Star Luo Empire."

"How long will you be on leave?" Bai Xu asked.

"One month."

"Sure, but joining the Spirit Pagoda is unnecessary. I still prefer Shrek Academy."

Gu Yue was puzzled. Just a few days ago, Bai Xu had expressed his willingness to join the Spirit Pagoda, but now he had changed his mind. "Weren't you asking me that just a few days ago?"

"Now that I have you, you can investigate anything I want to know, so there's no need for that." Bai Xu patiently explained, and then elaborated: "The Spirit Pagoda has eighteen pillars, and each city has a primary, intermediate, and advanced Spirit Ascension Platform, which contains many secrets. I need you to find a spirit beast to prepare for my third spirit ring."

"What kind of spirit beast?"

"Golden-haired Lion Mastiff"

Gu Yue was taken aback, and information about the golden-haired lion mastiffs came to mind.

This is a soul beast that has long been extinct. Legend has it that it is the ancestor of all dog and lion soul beasts. It possesses immense strength and its own domain. Once it enters battle, it will relentlessly pursue its opponent until the very end.

Thinking of this, Gu Yue understood that Bai Xu wanted to enhance his own power attribute. She said no more and left it to the ferocious beasts to take a look. She wanted to know how the soul beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform could provide Bai Xu with a third soul ring.

In the original work, the power unleashed by the ten-thousand-year-old golden-haired lion mastiff was so great that even Tang Wulin, the level 93 Golden Dragon King, dared not confront it head-on and could only temporarily avoid its sharp edge. After the domineering domain was activated, it almost shattered Tang Wulin's blood and qi, which was extremely terrifying.

What is the gold content of this?

The fact that Tang Wulin, a Title Douluo, could suppress him in strength in Douluo Continent III is enough to prove this point.

As for how Bai Xu will absorb the soul ring, there will be other methods at that time.

Dusk, Teachers' Office

Gu Yue arrived with the leave slip, which moved Wu Changkong's expression. "You and Bai Xu have both joined the Spirit Pagoda!?"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Yes, Ms. Wu." Gu Yue nodded.

"When did this happen?" Wu Changkong was immediately filled with regret. These little guys were all promising talents he had his eye on. He originally planned to have them join Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, but the Spirit Pagoda beat them to it, and Bai Xu was one of them!

"I joined long ago, while Bai Xu was invited by a Title Douluo from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters to visit. As for his wishes, it is up to him to decide."

"A month's vacation," Wu Changkong murmured. He was somewhat reluctant, but knew he had no right to object. After all, he was just a lecturer at Donghai Academy.

"Okay, when you go back, call Bai Xu over."

"Yes"

Gu Yue withdrew, and the group went to eat braised beef with a pot with broth with Xie Xie. This was the most tender place in Xie Xie's heart, and being invited here proved that Xie Xie truly approved of them.

Afterwards, Bai Xu had a talk with Wu Changkong, which was nothing more than advice. Bai Xu had his own opinions, so he just let it go in one ear and out the other, going through the motions.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

East Sea City Coast

Bai Xu and his group were fully prepared to set off. All the soul beasts except Bi Ji were going to forcefully open the small world and create a passage to the Dragon Tomb for Bai Xu and Gu Yue.

Seeing Di Tian there, Bai Xu asked, "How long does it take to get from here to Xingluo?"

"If we hurry, we'll arrive in a few days." With ferocious beasts comparable to Super Douluo here, traveling at full speed will be quite fast.

"Then let's hurry."

Gu Yue remained silent, following behind Bai Xu. She didn't know if the Dragon God Core was still available to her, or what in the Dragon Tomb was worth Bai Xu's attention.

When we arrive at our destination, everything will be revealed.
