Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 37 Dragon Ice

After leaving Xingluo Southwest, Long Bing was somewhat lost. She recalled the scene before she died, when she collapsed into Wu Changkong's arms.

Although Wu Changkong had already entered the inner courtyard and his cultivation was not weak, how could he possibly compare to Dark Hummingbird, who was already one of the four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Sect?

In just a few rounds, he was already severely injured.

Just as he was about to deliver the fatal blow to Wu Changkong, Long Bing stepped in front of him, taking the fatal strike for him. The Dark Hummingbird was stunned to see his daughter fall before him, but he didn't try to help her; instead, he turned and left.

She was torn with doubt, wondering whether she, being a dead person, should disturb the living again.

But before he could think further, his will was conveyed into his mind.

"Dragon Ice?"

"Yes, Sect Master." Even though they were far apart, she still bowed her head respectfully the moment Sui Yuan's will was transmitted into her mind.

"Go back to the old place."

"Yes."

Original Holy Spirit Church Branch

Sui Yuan remained seated cross-legged atop a yellow cloud, engraving his tortoise-shell talismans, sometimes examining them, sometimes attempting divination, until an icy blue figure slowly approached, at which point he ceased his actions.

"Greetings, Sect Master." Long Bing knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and pounded his chest.

"I have a question: you seem to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, a descendant of the Dark Hummingbird?"

"Yes, he is indeed my father."

Sui Yuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Bring me a lock of hair."

Long Bing moved cleanly and swiftly, his palm transforming into a blade, instantly severing a strand of ice-blue hair. With a slight flick of Sui Yuan's finger, the blue hair slowly drifted towards his palm.

Sui Yuan exerted a slight force, his blue hair emitting a soft white light, and he softly chanted, "Bloodline Divination."

Ten breaths later, Sui Yuan raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on another continent. "Not in Xingluo? Ha, never mind." He then looked down at Long Bing and said, "You seem to be considering returning to the Douluo Federation?"

"Yes, Sect Master, I want to go back and see."

"I don't care about your purpose, but we'll have to wait a while."

"Yes," Long Bing knew that her father was probably in grave danger.

Douluo Federation, East Sea City

Time goes back slightly

Wu Changkong knew that searching for Long Bing's whereabouts alone in Tiandou City was like looking for a needle in a haystack, so he used all his connections in the Tang Sect to get them to pay attention to this girl with long, icy blue hair.

Even though he was extremely reluctant, he returned to Donghai Academy and chose to nurture these children into talents, as a way of making amends to Shrek Academy.

Donghai City had just experienced a week-long typhoon. After the typhoon, the air felt exceptionally fresh, carrying a light mist. Sunlight shone on the earth, and occasionally, rainbows could be seen on the horizon.

The match between Class 1 and Class 5 of the freshmen class is the biggest topic of discussion at Donghai College this year. Class 5, which was at the bottom of the freshmen class, has made great strides and won three consecutive matches, making it the biggest dark horse in the history of Donghai College.

Wu Changkong rushed back at the last minute of the promotion competition. After explaining the reason to the dean of students and the principal, he was not held accountable. Instead, he was allowed to continue leading Class 5.

During his absence, Long Hengxu, the first-year dean of studies, would take over the Soul Master theory courses in place of Wu Changkong. As for training, it continued as usual, and Bai Xu and the other three often practiced together in the evenings, so they became quite close.

Bai Xu did not participate in the promotion tournament. Gu Yue single-handedly reversed the entire battle, and Tang Wulin was not even allowed to play a role before the match ended quickly.

The faculty of Donghai Academy also recognized that Gu Yue's strength was exceptionally high among all of them. Therefore, in order not to bury this genius, Class Zero of the first year was established as scheduled, with Wu Changkong still serving as the class teacher and in charge of the students' teaching.

The difference is that Xie Xie, Bai Xu, Gu Yue, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi directly entered Class Zero, while Tang Wulin was approved to enter by the school leaders after passing Wu Changkong's special assessment. During this process, he awakened the Golden Dragon Claw. Although there were some unexpected twists and turns, the result was not much different from the original story.

Intermediate Department of the Academy, Training Ground

Wu Changkong stood with his arms crossed outside the arena, his clear and cold voice booming: "Bai Xu, use your ability to test Tang Wulin's limits."

Bai Xu nodded and politely greeted Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin was a little embarrassed and smiled slightly in return.

"It's starting," Bai Xu said.

"Come on, Bai Xu."

A layer of fine, golden, diamond-shaped scales gradually appeared on Tang Wulin's right arm. The central ridges of these scales protruded slightly, like a layer of light golden armor covering his arm.

He continued to channel his soul power, all of which surged towards his right hand. Only then did the bones in his right hand begin to change, his palm slowly swelling, and dragon claws emerging from his fingernails. In addition to the sense of power, he could also clearly feel the emergence of a fierce aura.

The golden dragon claw on his right hand seemed to have a special crushing effect. Covered in golden scales, his strength doubled, and the golden dragon claw could double again. Tang Wulin felt as if he had infinite power at this moment, and his eyes turned into golden vertical pupils without him realizing it.

Bai Xu got into position, but unlike Tang Wulin's fierce and slightly ruthless aura, he was peaceful and serene. Green flames burst forth from his body, slowly enveloping his clothes, hair, and even his eyes, which also turned green.

The two seemed like two masters of special effects, one with abundant golden light and the other with subdued green flames, with Tang Wulin's aura appearing more imposing.

"I'm going in, Bai Xu!"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Come."

Tang Wulin and Bai Xu attacked simultaneously, their golden dragon claws clashing against each other's right hands wreathed in green flames, an extreme clash of power erupting in the center of the training ground.

boom!

A muffled thud reverberated in the training room for a long time.

Even the air currents could be seen to erupt and sweep outwards, making Zhang Yangzi almost lose his footing.

Wu Changkong was slightly surprised. He was astonished by the immense power stats granted by the two's martial souls; even a two-ring Great Soul Master of the power-attack type couldn't unleash such force. Then, he barked, "Use simulation!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xu nodded slightly, exchanged a glance with Tang Wulin, and tacitly distanced himself. Tang Wulin was also very curious; could Bai Xu's simulation ability even mimic bloodline power?

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over him; he and Bai Xu had already established a sufficient causal connection.

Bai Xu's body was covered in flames, which cheered and then surged towards his right arm. The flames slowly gathered and took shape, forming a right Qilin arm that looked exactly like Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw, except that the scales and dragon claw were green.

"The Three Truths and Myriad Phenomena Borrow the Dharma - Golden Dragon Claw".

"Again!" Tang Wulin was eager to try.

"Okay." Bai Xu gladly accepted the challenge.

boom!

This clash was not as evenly matched as Tang Wulin had imagined. For the first time, he experienced the crushing effect of the opponent's golden dragon claw. If his golden scales had not been so sturdy, he would probably have been injured.

Deng Deng Deng!

Tang Wulin staggered back more than ten steps before regaining his footing, covered in sweat, seemingly exhausted of his soul power. Even the Golden Dragon Claw turned into golden light and dissipated.

Wu Changkong promptly stepped forward to examine him and praised, "Not bad. Your martial soul mutation is developing in a positive direction. It seems you have awakened the hidden power within your bloodline. Cherish it."

"I will, Ms. Dance."

Gu Yue leaned close to Bai Xu and whispered, "You can even replicate the power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline?"

"Of course, can't I do the same thing?"

Gu Yue silently denied it in her heart. It was understandable that the Dragon God could replicate his elemental control, but to be able to replicate even his physical ability, the Golden Dragon Claw, was a bit exaggerated.
