Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 45 Key Historical Events

Although Bai Xu escaped from the clutches of the Cave Demon Spider, he still had the ability to move thanks to his martial soul's self-healing ability. However, the 40,000-year-old Cave Demon Spider was no longer a soul beast that he could defeat. Without revealing a few of his trump cards, he had absolutely no chance of winning. So he simply withdrew from the Spirit Ascension Platform with Gu Yue.

As soon as Bai Xu opened his eyes from the metal instrument, he noticed the grim situation in the hall. Wu Changkong frowned slightly, keeping a close eye on his movements. Seeing that Bai Xu and Gu Yue had woken up, he didn't explain much and gave an order to lead the Zero Class students away from the Spirit Pagoda.

On the way, Xie Xie quietly asked, "Bai Xu, where did you go? Why can't we see you and Gu Yue on the surveillance screen?"

Tang Wulin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, why?"

Before Bai Xu could answer, Wu Changkong, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped, turned around, and said, "They broke through the barrier of the primary Spirit Ascension Platform and reached the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. The monitoring equipment at the primary Spirit Ascension Platform stopped working after that. Bai Xu, can you tell me about your experience at the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform?"

"Okay, it's nothing really. After Gu Yue and I reached the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform, we felt very calm. Later, we realized that we had fallen into the hunting ground of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, and were instantly attacked and eliminated by them." Bai Xu recounted his experience in detail, and Gu Yue nodded silently beside him.

"Can you identify what kind of ten-thousand-year-old soul beast it is?"

Gu Yue responded, "It should be a 40,000-year-old Cave Demon Spider. I've seen this kind of super soul beast in the Soul Beast Compendium of the Spirit Pagoda."

Wu Changkong's expression changed, and he said in surprise, "No wonder it was eliminated as soon as it entered the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform. The Cave Demon Spider, like the Human-Faced Demon Spider, is one of the top-tier spider-type soul beasts. The Human-Faced Demon Spider is good at terrifying, swift, and domineering attacks, while the Cave Demon Spider is good at making traps to kill and ambush enemies. A 40,000-year-old level is enough to kill a Soul Emperor or even a Soul Saint."

!!!

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin and the others' expressions changed drastically, because he and Xie Xie had encountered the terrifying killer, the Human-Faced Demon Spider. Even Wang Jinxi had been killed by the Hundred-Year-Old Human-Faced Demon Spider. What kind of terrifying existence would the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Cave Demon Spider be?

For a moment, everyone looked at Bai Xu, their faces showing surprise and admiration.

"Uh, actually, I was pierced through the chest by one of the cave spider's legs, and that's how I was eliminated," Bai Xu explained.

"That's amazing! You actually advanced from the beginner level to the intermediate level! If we have the chance next time, let's try it together!" Xie Xie said excitedly.

Gu Yue remained silent, simply watching Bai Xu act. She recalled his true appearance and compared it with his current one, finding it somewhat comical, while a few doubts arose in her heart.

Are all those who reach the pinnacle so adept at acting when they are weak, in order to achieve a certain goal?

Back at Donghai Academy, the rest of them were given tasks by Wu Changkong, requiring them to carefully recall their actions at the Ascension Platform and give a report in class the next day, pointing out their shortcomings.

Bai Xu was kept behind for a private talk.

"Bai Xu, you once said you aspired to attend Shrek Academy. To be honest, I did graduate from Shrek Academy." Wu Changkong's face showed a hint of melancholy when he mentioned Shrek.

"Huh? Teacher, you're from Shrek Academy!?"

"Well, based on my observations of you these past few days, you meet Shrek Academy's admission requirements in every way. In fact, among the new students at Shrek, you could be considered an absolute genius. Therefore, for the next Shrek admission season, I hope you can enroll at the age of ten."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Wu Changkong and Bai Xu introduced the various frameworks of Shrek Academy, and specifically mentioned the Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi, saying that he was his former master and had been very kind to him. However, Wu Changkong felt guilty towards his master for some reason, so he was unable to meet him now.

Bai Xu listened patiently and tirelessly.

Star Luo Empire capital, boundary gate

Today is destined to be an extraordinary day. The turmoil at the boundary gate has subsided, our strength has greatly increased, and after annexing the five major sects, we have initially gained a foothold in Star Luo City.

码头

Sui Yuan led two trusted confidants onto a ferry, preparing to cross the ocean to conduct trade with the Douluo Federation.

It only includes Xiong Jun and Long Bing.

Trade was just a pretext; Sui Yuan simply felt it was time to meet the boss and, incidentally, stir up some trouble in the Douluo Federation to muddy the waters.

Sui Yuan stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance. The sea and the sky met, seemingly without end. He couldn't help but sigh, "Sometimes I think the scenery here is quite beautiful."

Xiong Jun, standing to his right rear, respectfully asked, "Lord Suiyuan, are you returning to the Douluo Federation to see my lord?"

"Of course I have to see him." Sui Yuan didn't turn around, and sighed softly, "After all, it was the boss who responded to me and gave me a new life. Even these key memories in my mind were arranged by the boss."

Sui Yuan's recent actions seem to be from a god-like perspective, knowing many key events in the original story. In his view, it is only natural that he is a monster born from the transmission of a portion of Wan Ye's consciousness. However, the boss at that time came from the future, and now he is protecting the boss from the past when he was weaker.

He was also a pivotal figure in history.

Thinking of this, Sui Yuan turned around and saw Long Bing kneeling beside him, silent, his pupils trembling. He realized that he shouldn't have listened to so much.

"Dragon Ice".

"Your subordinate is here."

The latest novel is first published here!

"Your loved one is also at Donghai Academy right now. Coincidentally, we're going the same way, haha!"

Long Bing heard Lord Suiyuan's signature laugh, slowly looked up, and saw only that bronze mask.

"My lord, Chang Kong..." Long Bing seemed worried about Wu Chang Kong's safety, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face.

She was about to speak when Sui Yuan stopped her with a gesture. "I know what you're trying to say. Your lover isn't someone forcing me and Xiong Jun to take action, but your father is blocking our way."

Dark Hummingbird!

Long Bing lowered her head, and countless childhood memories flooded her mind. Back then, her father was very kind and would often play with her. But everything changed after her martial soul awakened. She was raised as a tool and used by her father to steal Shrek Academy's secrets.

"Yes, sir!"

"What a perfect tale of filial piety! After your father dies, you can go and live happily ever after with Wu Changkong."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir!" Long Bing's face lit up with joy again.

"Heh~~~" Sui Yuan chuckled without saying a word, slowly turned around, looked at the horizon again, remained silent for a long while, and then sighed, "The ferry is too slow; it will take at least several months to reach Douluo Continent. Let's go first!"

After speaking, Sui Yuan instantly unleashed his soul power and soared into the sky; Xiong Jun followed behind with Long Bing. Schools of fish darted across the sea, led by a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. The colorful fish leaped across the water, forming rainbow bridges, a beautiful sight.

As the years passed by, the soul beasts lost all their soul power in an instant, and even their intelligence declined, leaving them dull and lifeless.
