Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 43 Many Disasters

Gu Yue and Bai Xu strolled through the dense forest. Bai Xu felt that the environment here was vastly different from that of the Star Dou Core Area, while Gu Yue felt as if she had been transported to another world. The Spirit Ascension Platform was indeed a great miracle created by the Spirit Transmission Tower.

She continuously rubbed her hands together, creating azure light that transformed into a small azure bird in the air. The bird spread its wings and soared, transforming into a series of wind birds that roamed the sky, constantly scouting the surroundings from the two of them while avoiding some thousand-year-old soul beasts and continuing to penetrate deeper into the territory.

Gu Yue said, "The Spirit Ascension Platforms are actually interconnected. As long as one's cultivation level is below the fourth ring and one has the strength to continue going deeper, it is possible to reach the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. However, crossing this barrier will inevitably lead to encountering even more powerful soul beasts. The Spirit Pagoda naturally took this into consideration when designing this barrier. The soul beasts deep inside are extremely troublesome for soul masters below the fourth ring. Therefore, very few people can advance from the initial Spirit Ascension Platform to the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform."

"Then let's try to reach the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform," Bai Xu replied in a relaxed tone, his experience so far had been quite good.

"it is good."

Gu Yue's Wind Bird reconnaissance efficiency was exceptionally high; she could almost synchronize her vision with the Wind Bird and make judgments accordingly. In addition, Bai Xu had no intention of hunting low-level soul beasts, so the two of them proceeded almost unimpeded and successfully ventured deeper into the territory.

The vegetation began to grow denser, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate and causing the light to dim, thus limiting visibility. The air was filled with the scent of more plants, and this place already had a feel of a mid-level Spirit Ascension Platform, roughly equivalent to the edge of the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest back then.

"Be careful, the field of vision is limited, so my Windbird won't be very effective," Gu Yue warned.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xu summoned his spirit, and the thousand-year-old swift reappeared. He gently stroked the swift's body and said, "It's your turn to appear. Keep a low altitude for reconnaissance, and don't go too far."

鸠！

Upon receiving the command, the swift flapped its wings and flew towards the two people.

Gu Yue was slightly surprised to see this spirit. She rarely saw Bai Xu use spirits and spirit rings in battle, almost always relying on the stats of his martial spirit to quickly advance. It was quite unexpected that he would summon a thousand-year-old spirit. She sighed, "A thousand-year-old swift?"

"Is there a problem?" Bai Xu asked, quickening his pace to walk in front of Gu Yue, indicating that he would lead the way.

Gu Yue followed Bai Xu's footsteps and replied, "No, it's just that it feels a bit different. I thought your first soul spirit would be some powerful soul beast. Although the Swift is good at speed, it is not aggressive. Most of the time, it relies on speed and endurance to get rid of its natural enemies."

Bai Xu waved his hand, slightly helpless: "There's nothing we can do. We didn't have many resources before; having even a soul spirit was already a blessing."

Off-site

Wu Changkong and his staff kept a close eye on Class Zero, not missing a single moment. Zhang Yangzi had already been eliminated, Xie Xie and Tang Wulin had reunited, Bai Xu and Gu Yue had reunited, and Wang Jinxi was still figuring things out on his own.

However, Gu Yue and Bai Xu seemed to intend to go deeper into the area.

Seeing that something was wrong, the staff member immediately stood up and asked Teacher Wu, "These two children are only at the second ring level. If they go any deeper, they might encounter even more powerful soul beasts. Should we have them turn back now?"

"No need, let them explore freely."

Wu Changkong was slightly surprised when he saw Bai Xu's Swift Spirit, but it was still within his acceptable range. Bai Xu's spirit was special enough to enhance a spirit master's physical attributes in all aspects. To possess the number one spirit in a thousand years at this age truly made him worthy of the title of genius.

In addition, he once said that if he wanted to enroll in Shrek Academy, he would have to show the potential of a monster.

Inside the Ascension Platform

Having gone this far, Bai Xu also unleashed his martial spirit, his special effects were incredibly cool, causing Gu Yue, who was following behind, to frequently turn her head to look at him. Curious, she put her hand into the green flames and found that she did not feel any burning sensation, and touched Bai Xu's shoulder without any resistance.

Gu Yue asked in confusion, "Not fire attribute?"

"My martial soul is only expressed in the form of green flames; it is not of the fire attribute."

Does it have a name?

"Yes, it's called the 'Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood,' which is, in a sense, a kind of original martial soul," Bai Xu explained.

Just as Gu Yue's curiosity was growing stronger, she saw Bai Xu's gaze gradually sharpen, his eyes blazing with green fire as he stared straight at the dark shadows in the forest to his right.

The next moment, Gu Yue also sensed that fierce aura. But she was more concerned about Bai Xu's reaction; his perception was even more acute than hers.

Roar!

A fierce roar echoed through the forest, startling countless flocks of birds into flight. A majestic figure emerged from the shadows, towering over three meters tall, its entire body covered in dark golden fur, its eyes devoid of emotion, filled with coldness and cruelty.

Its arms were exceptionally large and thick, and its two front claws were dark gold blades, each over a meter long. When the pair of thick arms were outstretched, the claws could make a slight hissing sound as they simply swept through the air along with its body.

"Heh, this version of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is full of misfortunes~~" Bai Xu couldn't help but sigh. The Bear King, a ferocious beast, died, leaving Bai Xu with a left palm bone; now this one with a broken right palm bone has encountered Bai Xu, and it is probably doomed.

"It's up to you now." Gu Yue tactfully stepped aside. After spending a long time together, she realized that Bai Xu really enjoyed fighting, especially hand-to-hand combat that involved punches, kicks, and speed and strength.

"Roar~~~"

The roar of the beast gradually deepened, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear seemed to sense the threat emanating from Bai Xu. Its dark gold fur stood on end, its sharp claws scraped the ground, and a bloodthirsty crimson gleamed deep in its eyes.

Bai Xu also slowly lowered his body and assumed a starting stance.

The latest novel is first published here!

The two were about to clash, both being masters of speed and power. The ground beneath their feet slightly sank, and they sprang out instantly, their claws and palms colliding in a flash.

Susu!

A powerful shockwave rippled outwards, causing the surrounding leaves to rustle. A series of impacts echoed through the forest, the clash of dark gold claws against flesh. Gold and green intertwined, the intense battle was exhilarating.

Gu Yue stepped aside and watched quietly, trying to estimate Bai Xu's limits in her mind.

Bai Xu is currently displaying level 25 strength, and he still has many trump cards up his sleeve. Either the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Soul Bone or the 30,000-year Soul Ring would be enough to instantly kill the 100-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in front of him, not to mention the sword technique from last time and the Fruit of Myriad Karmas.

"So fast." Gu Yue was secretly shocked.

Not only him, but even Wu Changkong, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but marvel. It was hard to imagine that Bai Xu's martial soul could amplify his body to such an extent that he could be on par with the Hundred-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear at the second-ring level, and even slightly suppress it.

This is a level of combat power that cannot be described by a super martial soul.

The staff were stunned, exclaiming, "This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is the guardian of the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform! It's actually going toe-to-toe with a second-ring Great Soul Master? If this continues, perhaps these two students really can break through the barrier of the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform and enter the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform!"
