Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 41 Ascension Platform

Tang Wulin was in a very good mood today. It was still early, so after washing up, he went to the playground to run.

As I was running, a familiar figure gracefully appeared on the track.

It's her... Ouyang Zixin.

The girl was very beautiful, with delicate features and big, watery eyes. In the light of the rising sun, she seemed to be bathed in a golden glow.

Ouyang Zixin also saw Tang Wulin, waved to him, and then ran off on her own.

Tang Wulin didn't approach her; he simply ran at his own pace, watching her youthful and energetic figure running on the playground from afar.

He really enjoyed this feeling, appreciating beautiful things. It makes people feel happier, doesn't it?

Running, eating, attending classes.

Today's lesson was quite different from usual. Since Bai Xu had visited the East Sea Spirit Pagoda alone once, Wu Changkong took the opportunity to explain the origin of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda and the function of the Spirit Ascension Platform to Tang Wulin and Bai Xu.

Tang Wulin naturally had high hopes for enhancing his soul spirit's abilities. The number one soul spirit of the past ten years couldn't keep up with the pace of geniuses. Since he finally had this opportunity, he naturally had to seize it.

The academy had clearly made arrangements in advance. When Wu Changkong led the students of Class Zero into the Spirit Transmission Tower, the Dean of Studies, Long Hengxu, was already waiting there.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Long Hengxu led the group slowly into the first floor of the Spirit Transmission Tower. The ground was paved with dark gold stone with dazzling natural patterns. Huge stone pillars supported the dome, which was tens of meters high. What was even more amazing were the stone pillars and the magnificent colorful murals on the dome.

The mural records the story of Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, and his wife, Tang Wutong, the Dragon Butterfly Douluo.

As everyone continued to admire the legend, Wu Changkong naturally began to explain the deeds of Lingbing Douluo to the students, because he was not only the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, but also a member of Shrek Academy.

Bai Xu was naturally aware of these events and was somewhat surprised, yawning occasionally, feeling a little bored. Gu Yue moved closer to him, staring intently at the colorful mural of Dragon Butterfly Douluo Tang Wutong, her eyes shifting back and forth between Tang Wulin and Tang Wutong, finding the two remarkably alike the more she looked.

"You were right, Tang Wulin and Tang Wutong. I really didn't expect this~~~" Gu Yue transmitted her voice to Bai Xu in her heart, her voice was vicissitudes and loneliness, with a hint of helplessness and sorrow.

Bai Xu tilted his head, a wicked smile on his face, and replied, "Do you know Tang Wutong's martial soul?"

Gu Yue pondered for a moment, "I've collected information on humans before, and I think it's about the Goddess of Light Butterfly and the Haotian Hammer."

"Wrong. If that were the case, she should be called Haodie Douluo. Her Goddess of Light Butterfly evolved into the Dragon God of Light Butterfly under Tang San's arrangement."

"Dragon God. Butterfly? Is that even possible?" Gu Yue wondered.

"I don't know. I don't know where they got the pure dragon bloodline from, which allowed their martial soul to evolve."

Bai Xu's seemingly casual reminder instantly widened Gu Yue's eyes, as memories from ten thousand years ago flooded her mind, and the answer became obvious.

The auspicious beast of emperors, the three-eyed golden lion!

The auspicious beast Wang Qiu'er sacrificed herself to Huo Yuhao. There must have been something between the auspicious beast and the daughter of the sea god. Or perhaps Tang San had long been plotting for the Dragon God bloodline, securing the Dragon God Butterfly for his daughter, and now he was trying to obtain the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon for his son.

Gu Yue felt as if she had been enveloped by an invisible hand for twenty thousand years, and suddenly felt a chill and nausea. She suddenly pressed down on Bai Xu's shoulder, bent over, and her face turned pale.

"Are you alright?" Bai Xu seemed to have gone too far and subconsciously patted Gu Yue's back, trying to make her feel better.

This unexpected turn of events naturally attracted the attention of those at the front, causing them to turn around and look.

Wu Changkong asked, "What's wrong?"

Before Bai Xu could even open his mouth, Gu Yue stood up and replied, "It's nothing, Teacher Wu. I'm just feeling a little unwell, but I can manage."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, no one said anything. Gu Yue was usually aloof and rarely interacted with anyone except Bai Xu. Although the others were puzzled, they didn't ask any further questions, after all, Gu Yue had that kind of power.

The two followed at the back of the line.

Bai Xu asked cautiously, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, just a slight physiological reaction, thank you."

"You've been saying thank you way too much lately," Bai Xu complained.

"I'm serious."

"Alright." Bai Xu patted Gu Yue's shoulder lightly and continued to make grand promises: "Work hard with me, and I will never mistreat my own people."

Ignoring the tedious process of entering the Spirit Ascension Platform, the group arrived at the circular room. The room was still entirely made of metal, but a huge soul-guided screen was hanging on the wall, displaying various images that appeared to be entirely green.

After the staff explained the precautions for the Ascension Platform, all students in Class Zero lay down on the device and their brainwaves were connected to the Ascension Platform.

Upon returning to this place, Bai Xu felt no emotion. The Primary Spirit Ascension Platform was for Soul Masters below the fourth ring. Now, with his Soul Power at level 37 and combined with the Dark Gold Terror Claw and sword techniques, he posed no threat here.

Even the hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terror Claw Soul Bone that the guardian deep within this Spirit Ascension Platform is guaranteed to drop, he had no desire for it whatsoever. He would simply come in, go through the motions, and kill a few random enemies to increase his soul's age.

The latest novel is first published here!

The rules of the Spirit Ascension Platform are that by hunting a spirit beast, one can obtain one-tenth of its energy from a year and integrate it into one's own spirit ring. This energy is then distributed evenly among the various spirit rings one possesses.

To elevate the Swift's two-thousand-year soul to ten-thousand-year, the initial Spirit Ascension Platform is insufficient; one must proceed to the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.

Roar!

Before Bai Xu could even enjoy the moment, a fierce roar rang out from not far away, and trees were being smashed down by the massive figure. When he looked closely, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "You're really something, Gu Yue, you lured the bear this way."

"I didn't want to either, it provoked me first!" Gu Yue knew that Bai Xu had the power to kill a thousand-year-old soul beast in an instant, and warned, "His weakness is the back of his neck, but be careful of the aura he has before he dies, and avoid crystallization."

Without a word, Bai Xu charged directly at the enraged crystal bear, his right fist clenched, surrounded by green flames. Seeing the human approaching, the crystal bear raised its paw slightly and swung it down with a furious roar.

The two exchanged blows in terms of strength, each taking a few steps back to regain their footing.

But Bai Xu was faster, and with the help of Gu Yue's spatial abilities, he arrived behind the Crystal Bear in the next moment. He clenched his fist and unleashed a sword move, severing the Crystal Bear's neck and spine in one strike, and it fell silent in an instant.

"Watch out for the yellow halo!" Gu Yue shouted a warning.

Bai Xu, who was falling through the air, seemed not to hear anything. He stared blankly at the fallen crystal bear, which was constantly emitting a yellow halo. He even reached out and deliberately touched it.

The next moment, it turned into crystals, as if it had entered a crystal coffin, and even the green flames seemed to be frozen inside, falling from the sky.

Gu Yue had a bad feeling and rushed forward, constantly using wind power to try to catch the falling crystal, fearing that it would fall to the ground and smash Bai Xu to pieces.

But the next moment, the crystal shattered on its own, and Bai Xu jumped out of the coffin unharmed, landing steadily on the ground. He sighed, "The killing move was alright, but breaking the crystal took a lot of soul power."

"It's good that you're alright. I really didn't expect you to deliberately reach out and touch me, even though I had warned you beforehand."

Bai Xu sighed softly, "Judging from your reaction, you don't seem to be deliberately trying to trick me, so I won't pursue this matter this time."

"I wouldn't be that bored. It didn't give me time to develop my soul skill, otherwise I could have killed the Crystal Bear," Gu Yue retorted.

"Alright, let's go, let's take a stroll and see the splendor of the former Star Dou Great Forest."
