Douluo Continent: The Myriad Body of Truth and Falsehood

Chapter 54 Situation Report

房内

Seeing Bai Xu and Xu Xiaoyan leave, the Crimson King immediately bowed respectfully and said, "My lord."

Gu Yue didn't care about the form of address; her expression was urgent as she hurriedly asked, "What have you been doing these past few days?"

"This..." The Crimson King hesitated slightly, but ultimately reported everything in detail. "We accompanied Sect Master Suiyuan to attack the Tang Sect's secret realm—the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. We destroyed a host of immortal herbs and ferocious beasts, including the Blazing Apricot Blossom, the Eight-Cornered Mysterious Ice Grass, the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, the Autumn Water Dew, and the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and captured the ferocious beast, the Qiluo Tulip. Furthermore, the Tang Sect's secret realm is the site where the Ice and Fire Dragon King perished, and the remaining Ice and Fire Dragon Soul within was also destroyed."

"What?!"

Gu Yue was shocked: "The Ice and Fire Dragon Soul?"

The Crimson King suddenly felt a surge of pressure erupting from him and hurriedly added, "The Ice and Fire Dragon Soul was destroyed by the Beast God himself using the Dragon God Claw; otherwise, none of us present could have done anything to the remnant Ice and Fire Dragon Soul."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue suddenly seemed a little dazed. She sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time without saying a word. The Crimson King felt like he was passing the days in vain.

"I understand now. Who is this Lord Suiyuan?" Gu Yue asked again.

The Crimson King said, "My lord, this matter concerning the sect leader is related to the Lord."

Gu Yue lowered her head, her face dark. She wasn't afraid of serving Bai Xu as her master for a hundred years; what she feared was the fickleness of human hearts. Clearly, Bai Xu and this suddenly appearing Sui Yuan were far too wise. Xiong Jun had turned into a corpse and had already switched sides. This surprise attack had deeply resonated with the soul beasts; it seemed that following Bai Xu as their master was far better than her. At least this move had caused the Tang Sect heavy losses.

If Bai Xu were to bestow further benefits upon her in the future, these soul beasts might genuinely acknowledge Bai Xu as their master, leaving her as a lone commander.

"It's nothing, just tell me, and report back to Bai Xu truthfully later."

The Red King hesitated for a moment before reporting the truth.

East Sea Soul Master Training Ground

Bai Xu activated his martial spirit, his movements as swift as the wind. As he sparred with Xu Xiaoyan, star wheel chains would occasionally rise beneath his feet, attempting to imprison his body. However, whenever the chains approached, Bai Xu would quickly break free from the star wheels beneath his feet.

Bai Xu's admonitions echoed repeatedly across the field:

"Start your soul skill even faster."

"Precise control of the battle situation is essential."

"Anticipate my movements."

Within ten minutes, Xu Xiaoyan was panting heavily, exhausted and covered in sweat, collapsing to the ground. She had used all her soul power to unleash her first soul skill.

"You launched a rapid-fire attack for ten minutes straight, forcing me to use Star Wheel Imprisonment. Aren't you tired?"

Bai Xu gently helped Xu Xiaoyan up and sighed, "Actually, my second soul skill enhances endurance, so I have good stamina and can last longer."

"Ah, I see!"

Bai Xu smiled gently, helped Xu Xiaoyan to the side, and said tenderly, "Meditate. Meditation is the most beneficial thing for a Soul Master after a high-intensity battle. I'll wait here for your brother to come and pick you up."

"it is good"

Xu Xiaoyan secretly glanced at Bai Xu's profile. His gray hair swayed slightly. The long period of rapid movement did not make Bai Xu sweat. She felt that Bai Xu looked too upright. With big eyes, gray hair, and well-proportioned features, he was both handsome and upright, especially when he was serious.

"Bai Xu," Xu Xiaoyan whispered.

"Hmm?" Bai Xu looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"I'll be transferring to Class Zero next semester, and then we'll be classmates."

"That would be wonderful!"

Bai Xu smiled brightly.

Xu Xiaoyan smiled as if she had eaten a sweet date and entered a meditative state.

Only now did Bai Xu seriously examine Xu Xiaoyan's appearance, wondering to himself, "Could it be that the greatest karmic debt in Douluo Continent has already come to haunt me? This feeling... um..."

Soon after, Xu Xiaoyu arrived to take care of Xu Xiaoyan, who had entered a deep meditative state, and Bai Xu returned.

Bai Xu pushed open the door and entered. Inside were the respectful Crimson King and the somewhat depressed Gu Yue.

Upon seeing Bai Xu return, the Red King immediately knelt on one knee and reported, "My lord, this operation has yielded results. This is what Lord Suiyuan specially prepared for you."

After saying this, the Red King took out the Qiluo Tulip and presented it to Bai Xu.

He continued, "The ferocious beasts, led by Sect Master Suiyuan, launched a surprise attack on the Tang Sect's secret realm, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Most of the immortal herbs were destroyed, but this one was sealed by the Beast God himself, despite his injuries."

Bai Xu merely glanced at the immortal herb and asked, "Tell me about the battle."

"Yes, we launched a surprise attack on the secret realm. The immortal herbs and ferocious beasts resisted to the death, but Lord Suiyuan used the bodies of thousands of sea spirit beasts to create endless corpse explosions, ultimately destroying it."

"Where are the others?"

"Lord Suiyuan has returned to Xingluo with Xiong Jun. He said that the trip to Xingluo will be a real meeting, and he will present a great gift then. In addition, Lord Suiyuan specifically asked me to inform you that the Dark Phoenix and Dark Hummingbird in the Holy Spirit Cult have been defeated."

Gu Yue was startled and glanced sideways.

Bai Xu nodded, then noticed the Crimson King's injuries and asked, "You're all injured?"

"Yes, the immortal herb was fearless and self-destructed. The ferocious beasts were all injured in their attempt to seize the herb. The Beast God's old wounds were aggravated, and he has returned to the core area to recuperate."

"Well done, I've got it. You can keep the immortal herb for now, but there's one more thing I need to trouble you with."

Bai Xu's tone was slightly softer.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Please give your orders, my lord."

"Come with me to the Mingdu Spirit Tower. The Ascension Platform contains the fourth spirit ring I need, a ten-thousand-year-old golden dragon. With your strength, dealing with a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast should be a piece of cake."

"That's how it should be."

"Rest today, set off tomorrow."

With Bai Xu's command, the Crimson King vanished.

Gu Yue turned around, looked at Bai Xu, and sighed, "According to the ferocious beasts, this matter should be trending soon, but why hasn't any news leaked out?"

"Who knows? Maybe the Tang Clan felt too ashamed and suppressed the news?" Bai Xu replied, then lay down on the sofa, feeling relaxed.

"What's the next step? What are your plans?"

"Go and advance to the Soul Master level, just take it one step at a time. Even if sending Suiyuan and the ferocious beasts out to massacre a city and create a major karmic event would indeed make me grow significantly, it's too dangerous, and you won't be able to escape the reckoning afterward. We're still at a disadvantage right now."

Gu Yue frowned, feeling constrained, and finally let out a long sigh. Then, changing her tone, she asked again, "Xu Xiaoyan, what do you plan to do?"

"Huh?" Bai Xu was taken aback and looked at Gu Yue in surprise.

"This girl probably likes you."

"That's great."

"And you, do you like her?"

This question made Bai Xu frown. He sat up straight, his brows furrowed, and pondered the question carefully. Recalling Xu Xiaoyan's adorable appearance, he did not object.

"I like it," Bai Xu said uncertainly.

Gu Yue was dumbfounded. "You are a future god, you..."

As they were talking, she suddenly paused, realizing that Bai Xu had always seemed too rational; it was as if matters of the heart shouldn't concern him. Especially given his talent for acting, he appeared like a mastermind behind the scenes, making his persona seem too incongruous with love. However, no one forbade future deities from having feelings.

Under Bai Xu's questioning gaze, Gu Yue shut her mouth.

"Work hard in your training. I'll still need you guys to support me at Shrek Academy in the future."
