Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 40 Thank you

Returning our focus to the East China Sea

Zero Class Training Ground

Wu Changkong wasn't here. Every few days, he would go to the Tang Sect branch to inquire about any news of resurrected individuals. Sometimes he would bring Xie Xie and Tang Wulin along, which was Bai Xu and the others' special training time.

Holding the Light Dragon Dagger and the Shadow Dragon Dagger, Xie Xie was sweating profusely. Bai Xu, who was facing him, was in almost the same starting stance. Only when facing someone stronger than himself could Xie Xie clearly feel that deep sense of powerlessness.

As an agility-based Soul Master, if he cannot gain an advantage in speed, then all his tactics become meaningless.

But today, things might be different. He joined the Tang Sect with Tang Wulin and obtained the Tang Sect's secret manual, Ghost Shadow Tracking Step. He has made some progress recently and should be able to surprise them at crucial moments.

"Second Soul Skill, Light Dragon Storm!"

A powerful golden light, driven by the Light Dragon Dagger, transformed into a storm that crashed into the opponent. Bai Xu responded to Xie Xie with a green storm of almost equal intensity.

boom!

Gold and green collided and dissipated into the air.

Bai Xu stopped as soon as he landed, while Xie Xie staggered back several meters before coming to a stop. It was clear that even though Bai Xu deliberately controlled his soul power, the difference in their physical abilities was still difficult to overcome.

Xie Xie, who had just regained his footing, was already exhausted. As an agility-type Soul Master, he had fought a high-intensity, protracted battle with Bai Xu for more than ten minutes. The unrestrained release of his Soul Skills had left him unable to continue.

He gripped his knife again and stepped forward, delivering a calm and measured strike, as if he were voluntarily conceding defeat; Bai Xu, of course, wouldn't miss the opportunity, as today's training should be over.

However, just as he easily dodged the attack and stabbed Xie Xie with his dagger, Xie Xie moved like a ghost, dodging the blow. He then turned his Light Dragon Dagger and aimed it directly at Bai Xu's lower back. Xie Xie had found Bai Xu's weakness, and Xie Xie won this round.

Ding!

A crisp sound rang out in the arena. Xie Xie used the Ghostly Shadow Step to deliver a fatal blow with the Light Dragon Dagger, but it was absurdly caught between Bai Xu's two fingers on the left hand, preventing him from advancing even an inch.

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore! I can't beat you in a fight, and I can't win in a battle either. Bai Xu, your abilities are too freakish." Xie Xie admitted defeat and complained a bit.

Bai Xu chuckled, reached out and helped Xie Xie up, sighing, "Did you gain anything from fighting me?"

Xie Xie nodded and reflected, "I've learned a lot. Thank you, I've taken up some of your time almost every week."

"That's good, at least those ten minutes weren't wasted."

"Xie Xie, you can now use your Ghostly Shadow Step!" Tang Wulin was not surprised by this result; on the contrary, he was excited to come and encourage Xie Xie.

Xie Xie seemed a little embarrassed, but the next moment he resumed his aloof demeanor and said, "Of course, this young master has been studying it for quite some time."

Tang Wulin ignored the arrogant Xie Xie and turned to Bai Xu with an eager look on his face: "Bai Xu, let's have another round."

"No, according to Teacher Wu's arrangement, it will end after Wang Jinxi is next. If you want, it will be your turn next week." Bai Xuyi refused firmly.

"All right."

The three of them simultaneously turned their gaze to the audience. He sat there with his head down, completely silent, not even paying attention to what was happening on the training field. He was so engrossed in his own world that he even ignored Bai Xu's shouts.

Bai Xu asked in confusion, "What is he thinking?"

Tang Wulin replied, "It might be a problem with his martial soul. His martial soul was suppressed by my Golden Dragon Claw, and that feeling must have been very unpleasant."

"Jinxi, what's wrong? It's your turn to train with Bai Xu." Zhang Yangzi stepped forward. Because of their martial soul fusion skills and family backgrounds, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi had been friends since childhood. As time passed, their friendship continued to deepen, seemingly about to break through some kind of limitation and reach a forbidden realm.

"Huh?" Wang Jinxi snapped out of his daze, realizing everyone's eyes were on him on the training field. Feeling incredibly embarrassed, he quickly waved his hand to decline, "Let's skip it today. I'm not feeling well, I'll go back first!"

After saying that, he got up and fled the scene, not even bothering with Zhang Yangzi.

"Sigh, he'll have to think this through himself." Bai Xu let out a long sigh, appearing slightly relaxed, and announced, "Today's training is over. Meeting adjourned!"

Gu Yue sat alone to the side, quietly watching the performance on the stage until Bai Xu announced the end. Only then did she slowly get up and come to Bai Xu's side.

Her attitude was too cold. Apart from Bai Xu, she almost always looked unapproachable and seemed extremely unwilling to communicate with others. Sometimes, when Wu Changkong saw Gu Yue now, he felt like he was seeing Long Bing from the past. So he often arranged team collaborations to try to integrate Gu Yue into the team.

"Gu Yue." Tang Wulin greeted the girl in front of him. They hadn't spent much time together, and she seemed somewhat unfamiliar with Bai Xu.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue merely nodded in acknowledgment without replying.

Tang Wulin clearly sensed that the girl harbored a slight prejudice against him, but he didn't know where this prejudice came from and was helpless, so he could only smile bitterly.

"Are you going back?" Xie Xie asked.

"Mm." Bai Xu nodded.

"Then you guys go ahead, Wu Lin and I are going to Tang Sect later."

"it is good."

Class Zero was thus divided into three groups, each going its own way.

Watching Gu Yue and Bai Xu gradually disappear into the distance, Xie Xie gently patted Tang Wulin's shoulder and sighed, "Wulin, did you do something to offend Gu Yue?"

Tang Wulin felt confused and explained, "I wouldn't go looking for trouble like you did right after the start of the semester. Maybe that's just Gu Yue's personality."

The latest novel is first published here!

"Say that again? Who started this? It wasn't you who started it."

The two of them chatted happily as they walked toward the school gate.

Gu Yue has now become so skilled that she doesn't knock on Bai Xu's door and simply pushes it open and enters.

"Is something the matter?" Bai Xu asked.

Gu Yue nodded slightly, found a desk and sat down, her tone slightly pleading as she said, "I really can't figure it out myself, so I came to you for help."

"What?"

"According to the information Na'er sent back, the martial soul named Tang Jun is obviously related to the previously unheard-of law of causality. I would like to ask what the law of causality is and how to deal with such a conceptual martial soul," Gu Yue said sincerely.

"Hiss~~~~" Bai Xu took a deep breath and shook his head: "I don't know how to explain it either. This kind of law should exist in the world. For example, time travel back to the past will disrupt cause and effect to varying degrees. The law of cause and effect is to prevent such things from happening."

"As for how to deal with it, either use a causal martial soul to counteract another causal martial soul, or crush it with a higher level. Tang Jun's martial soul sounds very mysterious, but it is estimated that it can only work on people at or below the Soul Master level. If Yun Ming is hit by his martial soul, the concept that he will definitely be defeated by him will not work at all. Unless his cultivation reaches the Title Douluo level, it might not be effective against Yun Ming. Moreover, defeating does not equal death, so his causal martial soul is not that heaven-defying."

"So, you're going to fight them with a higher level of cultivation?"

"That's one way to understand it."

Gu Yue nodded: "Thank you."

"It's alright." Bai Xu waved his hand, indicating that Gu Yue could leave if she was unharmed. But she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you for what happened in the Star Dou Great Forest too."

"What do you mean by that?" Bai Xu asked, puzzled.

Gu Yue explained, "Di Tian and the others sent word that perhaps the change in the rules has also affected the soul beasts. The bloodline talents of newly born soul beasts are changing, and they seem to be more powerful."

Gu Yue's heart gradually wavered, and the future seemed to be much brighter.
