Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 32 Red Warmth Dances Across the Sky (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

For the few exceptionally talented youngsters in Class 5, Wu Changkong prepared many training methods to help them increase their strength, including combat drills, physical fitness tests, mental strength tests, and so on. The most important of these was to hone Bai Xu's combat abilities, as he wanted to use real combat to teach Bai Xu the harsh realities of life.

Nighttime extra training

Bai Xu and his group of four were summoned by Wu Changkong. Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were already used to it. Xie Xie explained, "During the month you were on leave, Teacher Wu basically sparred with me and Wulin alone every night. He would hold a wooden sword, point at us a few times, and I would fall to the ground."

"Really? Do you feel like you've made progress during this time?" Bai Xu walked alongside him, seemingly starting to get to know him better.

"There definitely is, but the process is very grueling. You need to be careful later, Teacher Wu is very good at training people." Xie Xie couldn't help but shake his head, he could already imagine Bai Xu's painful expression.

Wu Changkong, dressed in white, stood quietly in place. A gentle breeze blew, causing his robes to flutter and his blue hair to dance. He had his hands in his pockets and his eyes closed as he rested. Sensing Bai Xu and his group approaching, he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes flashed with a cold light, signaling the others to hurry up.

Tang Wulin and Wu Changkong exchanged a glance, realizing the situation was bad, and urged everyone to speed up.

Just then, a look of surprise flashed across Wu Changkong's face. The communication soul tool in his storage soul tool, which had not been used for a long time, was now buzzing. Who would contact him at this time?

"An old friend from the Tang Clan?" Wu Changkong guessed. After thinking it over, he realized that he only knew a few friends from the Tang Clan Xuan Shi Technology Company in Donghai.

He answered the call, and a slightly hesitant and apprehensive voice came from the soul tool: "Excuse me... is this Wu Changkong himself?"

Wu Changkong said coldly, "It's me. Who are you?"

"Hello, we are staff members from Tiandou Cemetery."

"Tian Dou Cemetery." Wu Changkong looked slightly puzzled, then replied, "I have already paid the burial fee, so please don't call again."

He then attempted to hang up the call.

"No, no, no!!!"

A sharp shout rang out from the communicator, stopping Wu Changkong's actions.

"Um, sir, please calm down. Don't be nervous. We have an urgent message to notify the deceased's family. Are you Long Bing's husband?"

Upon hearing Long Bing's name, the ice in Wu Changkong's eyes seemed to melt instantly. He recalled the past. Long Bing was a girl with stunning beauty, a tall figure, and a cold personality. She was the daughter of the Dark Hummingbird, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Sect.

This evil spirit master took advantage of the fact that his daughter was not an evil spirit master, painstakingly trained her and sent her to Shrek Academy as an undercover agent, hoping to steal the most crucial secret from Shrek Academy's database.

Long Bing and Wu Changkong were in the same class at the time. Wu Changkong was a cheerful and outgoing boy, his smile full of sunshine, happiness, and positivity. Long Bing, on the other hand, had lived in an environment inhabited by evil spirit masters for a long time. He was gloomy, cold-faced, and did not talk to outsiders. Back then, there was always a beautiful figure sitting in the Shrek Academy classroom, as if he were an ice sculpture.

Later, as they got to know each other better, Long Bing and Wu Changkong fell in love. The ice in their hearts was finally melted, and the two lovers became a couple, walking together amidst the cheers of the crowd.

However, the good times didn't last long. Seeing that the time was ripe, Dark Hummingbird ordered Long Bing to steal Shrek Academy's secrets. But the higher-ups discovered this and expelled Long Bing from the academy. Even though Wu Changkong betrayed the academy, he still wanted to stay with Long Bing, so they left together.

Outside the city, the Dark Hummingbird killed its own daughter but spared Wu Changkong's life. The death of his beloved before his eyes caused Wu Changkong to become cold and indifferent, never to marry again.

After reminiscing, Wu Changkong took a deep breath and replied earnestly, "Yes."

"Here's the thing. Our night patrol last night discovered that your wife's grave appears to have exploded."

Wu Changkong suddenly lost his composure, his expression turning furious, and his neck even reddened in unusual rage: "How do you manage a cemetery?!"

"No, recently, many graves in the Douluo Federation have been mysteriously exploding, and some people have even seen the dead come back to life and roam as zombies."

!!!

Wu Changkong's pupils constricted, and he didn't dare to breathe: "You...you say it again. What happened?"

"The dead rise from the dead."

Unable to contain his excitement, he immediately activated his soul rings and battle armor, soaring into the air and rushing towards the Soul Guidance Station. Before leaving, he used his soul power to transmit his voice: "Bai Xu will be in charge of your training before the promotion competition. Don't slack off. I have important business to attend to. I'll be right back."

"Ah? Teacher Wu, why did you fly away? Where are you going?" Xie Xie exclaimed in surprise. Seeing that Wu Changkong had disappeared, he put away his reluctant expression and smiled, "It seems that Teacher Wu really has something important to do!"

"Xie Xie, don't even think about slacking off. The promotion competition is just around the corner." Tang Wulin sternly criticized Xie Xie's improper training attitude, then looked at Bai Xu and asked, "Bai Xu, Teacher Wu has left. How should we train now?"

Bai Xu said seriously, "Since Teacher Wu is not here and has instructed me to lead the training, everyone can proceed as usual. The extra practice at night will be changed to free practice, and you can decide how to arrange it yourself."

After saying that, Bai Xu also looked up at the sky and asked in confusion, "Why did Wu Changkong leave in such a hurry? Did he abandon his students?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Gu Yue stepped forward and whispered in Bai Xu's ear, "News has come from the Crimson King that strange events have been occurring in many parts of the Federation recently. Graves have exploded, and it seems that some people have seen the dead come back to life, like zombies. Moreover, Xiong Jun's corpse has also revived, saying a lot of strange things before leaving Star Dou Fortress."

Bai Xu clapped his hands, stared blankly at Gu Yue, and sighed softly, "Oh no."

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue asked in confusion.

"It is a Nirvana corpse."

"A Nirvana Corpse?" Gu Yue wondered.

Bai Xu didn't explain, but asked anxiously, "Is there any other news?"

"Oh, these zombies disappeared in an instant after appearing for a moment, all heading towards the sea, and then vanished without a trace. I don't know what they're up to." Gu Yue looked at Bai Xu's slightly surprised expression and could tell from his tone that everything was still within his knowledge.

Bai Xu asked again, "Didn't the Nirvana Corpse eat people? You mean it directly sucks people dry into a dried-up corpse?"

Gu Yue shook his head: "No, there have been no casualties."

"Oh~~~" Bai Xu nodded meaningfully.

Soul Guidance Station

Wu Changkong arrived quickly, purchasing the fastest Soul Guide Train ticket. His eternally cold expression finally revealed boundless emotion as he murmured, "Bing'er, Bing'er, have you really come back to life?"
