Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 47 A Glance That Lasts a Lifetime

At dawn, Donghai City was shrouded in a thick fog, obscuring the view and making everything appear blurry.

The usually quiet East Sea Spirit Pagoda was unusually lively today. As one of the eighteen pillars of the Spirit Pagoda organization, it was one of the entrances to the Ascension Platform during the riots.

Wu Changkong led the Class Zero members to the East Sea Spirit Transmission Tower early in the morning to wait. The Spirit Ascension Platform during the riot was a rare opportunity. At this time, the Soul Masters who entered the Spirit Ascension Platform could not only kill Soul Beasts and seize spiritual power, but also compete with each other for spiritual power.

"Remember, this time the Ascension Platform won't randomly teleport you. During the riot, everyone on the Ascension Platform except you two will be enemies. The final exam will be about surviving in it for an hour. I'll spend the holiday helping anyone who fails the exam practice more," Wu Changkong instructed.

Subsequently, six entry cards were handed out, and the students were led into the Spirit Transmission Tower by the staff. As the accompanying teacher, Wu Changkong was allowed to enter the Spirit Transmission Tower to observe the students' Spirit Ascension Platform trials.

But just as he was about to take a step, a familiar figure suddenly flashed past the corner of his eye.

The figure walking, the way he looked, the steps, the every move, and even the flowing long hair were all so similar to the person in his memory that Wu Changkong's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped in his tracks. Behind him were the other students participating in the Spirit Ascension Platform, a vast crowd, and as he looked back, that familiar figure had already disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

"Dragon Ice?"

A startled exclamation, tinged with doubt, instantly silenced the crowd. The previously noisy flow of people suddenly quieted down, and everyone stared blankly at the dazed Wu Changkong. Some even wondered if the young and handsome teacher had suddenly broken down.

However, the name Long Bing touched the icy blue figure in the crowd. The figure, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped, trembling slightly, and then slipped away from the crowd and ran towards the sea.

"Long Bing! Is that you?" Seeing the suspicious figure flee the scene, Wu Changkong's heart suddenly raced, and his sixth sense grew stronger. He couldn't care less about how chaotic the situation had become. He turned back and told the students, "You go into the exam. I'll be right back." Then he slipped away from the scene.

Bai Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking in the direction Wu Changkong was gazing, and thought to himself, "Has Long Bing been resurrected?"

He actually really wanted to see what a Nirvana Corpse looked like. Apart from a few Nirvana Corpses whose cognition was distorted by the will of the myriad karmas, most Nirvana Corpses still retained their memories and will from their previous lives. Long Bing's visit here was naturally because he still deeply loved Wu Changkong.

"This is the first time I've seen a dance teacher lose her composure like this," Gu Yue remarked from the side.

"Yes, who is Long Bing?" Xie Xie asked, puzzled.

Before everyone could find the answers, the scene quickly returned to its usual chaotic state after the main figures left, and Bai Xu and the others were unable to give up the exam.

Tang Wulin said, "Let's go inside first, and then we can talk to Teacher Wu after the final exams."

"That's true." Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi exchanged a glance. They weren't too concerned about Wu Changkong's attitude; what they cared about was the upcoming battle at the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Donghai City, Donghai Park

海边

Two figures stepped onto the seaside pier one after the other, beyond which lay the boundless sea.

Wu Changkong finally caught up with the figure. The more he looked at the figure, the more familiar it seemed. At this moment, he could almost confirm that Long Bing had been resurrected from the moment the tomb exploded.

"Long Bing...is that you?" Wu Changkong's voice trembled. He involuntarily raised his right hand, took a step forward, wanting to touch the figure and see its face. He spoke as he walked, tears streaming down his face, "I know you have been resurrected. Thanks to the changes in the myriad realms, we were able to meet again. But...are you...still you?"

Wu Changkong was very worried that Long Bing would lose his memory after being resurrected, forget everything about him, and become the closed-off and indifferent Long Bing he used to be.

Long Bing opened her mouth as if to speak, but then paused and found herself speechless.

She turned around and looked back, tears already streaming down her cheeks. At this moment, she was not in her Nirvana Corpse form, but had used a disguise to become the beautiful, cold woman she once was, only now the iceberg had melted.

"Wu Changkong, I'm back." Long Bing smiled slightly, tears welling in her eyes, causing Wu Changkong's pupils to shrink, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Wu Changkong stood frozen in place, staring blankly, a single glance lasting an eternity.

"You know I don't like cold indifference. I like you from Shrek Academy, and your smile."

Through these days of secret observation, Long Bing was surprised by Wu Changkong's change. The Wu Changkong of Shrek Academy was so warm and sunny, his face often beaming with a happy smile; but now he had become the Long Bing of the past, cold and closed off.

"Bing'er~~"

Wu Changkong and Long Bing embraced each other, with the sea and sky as their backdrop and the reefs as their witness. The two met again after more than ten years, seemingly making up for the regrets of the past.

"I miss you so much. All these years I have truly regretted not saving you from your father's clutches."

"Everything is in the past. I came here just to see how you've been all these years, but I never expected you to become just like I was back then. My appearance here now is to help you resolve the knots in your heart from the past."

"Bing'er, what do you mean by this?" Wu Changkong asked, puzzled.

The latest novel is first published here!

"You know, I am a resurrected dead person, and I am not on the same path as you or Shrek Academy." Although Long Bing really wanted to be with Wu Changkong, her recent contemplation made her feel that something was amiss.

The key to Nirvana Corpse cannot be revealed too much at the moment. Lord Suiyuan is manipulating things from behind the scenes, and I, a mere Nirvana Corpse, must not get involved in the Myriad Industries Chess Game. Otherwise, I will be shattered to pieces if I am not careful, and even Wu Changkong will be implicated.

After saying that, Long Bing removed her disguise, revealing her true form as a soul corpse.

Her face gradually withered, her skin cracked and turned pale, her fangs were exposed at the corners of her mouth, and the aura of death permeated the air, making the living feel uneasy.

!!!

Wu Changkong was shocked by the changes in Long Bing before his eyes, but he held Long Bing's hands tightly with both hands, never letting go in the slightest.

"It's alright, Long Bing. We can go back to Shrek Academy. I'll ask my master for help. He's an elder of the Sea God Pavilion and one of the original Shrek Seven Devils. He'll definitely have a way to turn you back into a living person." Wu Changkong was comforting Long Bing, and at the same time, he was also comforting himself.

"No, it's useless. In the days since I became a Nirvana Corpse, although I have been able to cultivate soul power and use martial souls, I have already broken through the bottleneck and no longer need soul spirits or soul rings. Moreover, to some extent, the master who resurrected me is a future god," Long Bing explained.

Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Wanye!?"
