Douluo: True and False Body of All Karmas

Chapter 8: Twisted Things (Seeking Investment!)
In the jungle, Xu Xiaoyan looked a little disheveled, with two light blue braids swaying left and right behind her, and her originally fair face was stained with a little dust.

"Zi la la~"

The sound of sharp blades rubbing against each other sounded behind him, like the death warrant of the god of death.

Xu Xiaoyan stopped and summoned the Star Staff. With caution, he asked tentatively, "Brother?"

"Gah!"

A green figure rushed out and was met with a knife. Before Xu Xiaoyan could even react and press the distress signal button, the sharp blade had already reached him.

when!
There seemed to be a sound of metal striking each other. When Xu Xiaoyan opened his eyes again, he saw a green figure standing in front of him. He held his arm horizontally to block the mantis's sharp blade, his whole body burning with green flames. As he turned around, the flames in his eyes drew a perfect green arc in the air.

Then Xu Xiaoyan heard the man exclaim in surprise: "Green Mantis!?"

She immediately explained: "This is not the Jade Mantis, it's the Blade Mantis!"

Bai Xu looked back at her in surprise, as if confirming her image, and then started fighting with the Blade Mantis.

Dang Dang Dang!
The ultimate attack and defense of the assault system makes one's blood boil. The arms stained with green flames and the extremely sharp front claws keep colliding, and the sound of steel hitting each other can be heard continuously. Both of them move swiftly, with both speed and strength. They have fought several times in just a few breaths.

Peng!
After another collision with the Blade Mantis, Bai Xu distanced himself and landed briefly next to Xu Xiaoyan. He smiled slightly and said, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"Xu Xiaoyan"

Bai Xu just chuckled and didn't say anything else.

When he rescued Xu Xiaoyan, the cause and effect that could affect life and death had already been established. Karma comes from cause and effect. Although there is a sense of stealing, Bai Xu prefers to call this move:
'The Three Truths and All Phenomena'

Xu Xiaoyan stared blankly at the strange figure before her. She had never seen a spirit possessed like this before. The green flames wrapped around her body made it impossible to see the person's face. She only saw the flames gradually flake off and solidify, transforming into the shape of the ice stick in her hand.

The young man stood in front of her, and two purple and purple soul rings appeared.

Xu Xiaoyan instantly knew that this guy was definitely a genius. At his age, being able to possess two thousand-year soul rings required extremely high physical fitness and mental strength.

As she looked at him in amazement, the green flame on the boy's body ignited his first soul ring. The soul ring turned green and also burned with flames. It seemed that some amazing soul skill was about to be activated.

Xu Xiaoyan asked, "What are you doing?"

"Need I say more?" Bai Xu didn't turn around, his eyes dancing with joy as he waved the Star Staff in his hand. "First Soul Skill: Star Wheel Chains!"

The stars were shining brightly, and lines of stars rose from under the feet of the Blade Mantis. Wherever they passed, they turned into chains of ice, sealing his body.

"Based on my status, this soul skill can at least seal you for three seconds. Bye!"

A look of fear emerged from the mantis's face. With a flash of cold light, the mantis's head fell to the ground, and its body collapsed, transforming into strands of spiritual energy that continuously flowed into the swift's body.

Xu Xiaoyan opened her mouth slightly, then realized what was happening and screamed, "Are you using my soul skill or my mutant martial soul? It's not night now, how did you use the astrological soul skill?"

"secret."

Bai Xu didn't care too much about Xu Xiaoyan's doubts. He sat cross-legged and circulated his soul power to ensure that he could absorb the spiritual power transformed by the thousand-year-old mantis more quickly and allow the spine-tailed swift to break through two thousand years.

Xu Xiaoyan didn't get an answer and hesitated whether to press the distress signal. Her brother should be waiting for her outside by now. But the secret of the martial spirit concerned her deeply. After struggling for a few seconds, Xu Xiaoyan decided to ask the young man for clarification.

After a few minutes
Bai Xu stood up, took a long breath, and looked at the girl who was waiting quietly beside him, "You haven't left yet? The young man with the ice stick has already pressed the distress signal." "I want to team up with you." Xu Xiaoyan's light blue eyes were filled with tears, her fair cheeks were still covered with dust, her hair was messy, and she looked pitiful. Her acting was so real and fake that it was hard to tell.

"I'm going to the depths of the Spirit Ascension Platform. You'll be a burden if you follow me." Bai Xu flatly refused.

Seeing Bai Xu about to leave, Xu Xiaoyan hurriedly followed him. The tears in her eyes were instantly wiped away, and she replaced them with a resolute expression. "I can assist you, and you can continue to copy my spirit skills. As you saw just now, my spirit skills are very useful!"

"Sorry, I can still borrow your magic even when you're not here." A smug smile appeared on Bai Xu's face. He turned and ran towards the east, waving behind him and saying, "See you later."

In the first semester after the establishment of Class Zero, Xu Xiaoyan will join as a transfer student. See you then!

Xu Xiaoyan looked puzzled, pointing blankly to the west with one hand. A string of question marks flashed through his mind, and he whispered, "What are you doing? Isn't the depths of the Spirit Ascension Platform over here?"

!!!

Bai Xu paused and looked back, seeing that the direction Xu Xiaoyan was pointing was completely opposite to the direction he was heading, feeling a little embarrassed. He came in a hurry and didn't know the map well for the first time. In addition, the ascension platform was randomly teleported, which really made him a little lost.

"You don't know the way?" Xu Xiaoyan said, "It's okay. I can lead the way for you. I only ask that you share a little bit of your spiritual power with me when you absorb it."

Bai Xu walked back calmly and asked, "Are you sure it's this direction?"

At the same time, he also released his soul to conduct reconnaissance.

"Of course!" Xu Xiaoyan's eyes were sparkling with anticipation.

"Walk and talk over there?"

"Great!" Xu Xiaoyan seemed to have won, and his joy was beyond words.

Bai Xu ignored the awkward situation and went straight to the point. He glanced at Xu Xiaoyan and asked, "Do you know what kind of soul beasts are hidden deep within the Spirit Ascension Platform?"

"But I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Bai Xu, and this is my first time at Shenglingtai." He introduced himself.

"No wonder. I heard that deep in the primary soul-raising platform of the East China Sea Soul Pagoda, there exists a dark-gold terror-claw bear of the hundred-year level. This race is very powerful. Even at the hundred-year level, many thousand-year soul beasts are no match for it. Soul masters below the fourth ring rarely can kill it. Are you going to look for it?" Xu Xiaoyan was a little uneasy.

"Well, let's check it out first." Bai Xu nodded in agreement. Then he thought of something and looked at Xu Xiaoyan, saying in a deep voice, "You actually want to ask me why you can use your mutant martial spirit even without being under the starry sky, right?"

(⊙﹏⊙)
She pleaded, "You've seen through it, but could you please tell me? This is very important to me. I can pay you."

"No, I want you to cooperate with me to complete an experiment. If successful, you can complete the evolution of your martial soul. Are you willing?" Bai Xu looked mysterious, staring at Xu Xiaoyan with burning eyes, as if he wanted to eat her.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyan retreated again. She was afraid that this person was a demon who would capture her and eat her, so she asked timidly, "Where is the experiment being conducted? Do we have to meet in real life? My brother will definitely come with me."

"It's now."

Hearing this, Bai Xu dragged the invisible object in his right hand and presented it in front of Xu Xiaoyan in broad daylight. A strange feeling came over him. Xu Xiaoyan clearly could not see the invisible object, but he could feel that it was emitting an unparalleled connection, trying to connect with him.

An extremely strong premonition emerged that Xu Xiaoyan would complete the evolution of the Star Wheel Ice Staff in a virtual world like the Spirit Ascension Platform.
