Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 174 Special Training, Soul-Guiding Train Assassin

"Only by making good use of your martial spirit can you go further. After all, a soul master must rely on soul power."

"Xie Xie."

Wu Changkong lectured them one by one: "Your performance was like that of a clumsy assassin. Using Tang Wulin's figure to cover your own body was a very good idea."

"But the execution is too crude. The opponent can see you disappear at a glance. An excellent assassin must learn to find the enemy's blind spot."

"Xu Xiaoyan," Wu Changkong paused and continued, "After your martial soul changed, you couldn't move when releasing soul skills?"

Xu Xiaoyan nodded her head: "That's right, teacher. The Ice Staff Martial Soul transforms into the Star Staff, which grants absolute control, but I still can't move it at will."

Wu Changkong nodded slightly, "That's somewhat understandable."

He looked at Gula one last time.

"Gula."

"Your first soul skill isn't just a simple gravity field, is it?"

"Teacher Wu has exceptional insight. My first spirit ring comes from the Mighty Vajra Bear and is called Gravity Control. Gravity Domain is its passive effect."

Wu Changkong was taken aback, wondering, "The Mighty Vajra Bear can produce a gravity control soul skill?"

He recalled the knowledge he learned at Shrek Academy and confirmed that there was no record in the academy's records of the Mighty Bear producing a gravity control soul skill.

After reflecting on how Gula's martial spirit and luck complemented each other, he said, "Yes, if we make good use of it, Gravity Palm has great potential."

Wu Changkong secretly regretted not having met Gula sooner, allowing the Spirit Pagoda to benefit from the situation. "Your strength far surpasses mine. From now on, you will train with me every day using two different martial souls."

"Now let me tell you about your training arrangements."

Wu Changkong sheathed his sword, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the bright moonlight descended, making Wu Changkong's handsome face appear even more ethereal and otherworldly.

"Daily physical training remains unchanged; one bottle of body-strengthening and bone-strengthening medicine must be consumed."

"Cultural classes will be temporarily suspended until you return from the Tianhai Alliance."

“Since Gula has a gravity field, it can help you exercise in the future. It’s more efficient than just running. This is a rare soul skill that is beneficial to cultivation. I will report it to the academy and give you some more resources.”

Wu Changkong spared no expense in spending resources, but the resources provided by the academy were only a small subsidy for meals, which Gula readily agreed to.

The intensive training lasted for a full thirty days and nights, forging itself in the crucible of iron and fire.

During this time, Gula broke through to level 37, and the time for the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition was approaching.

As the Soul-Guided Train passed through the Cloud and Mist Mountains at dusk, the molten gold of the setting sun shone through the glass, casting a golden glow on Xie Xie's black hair.

He huddled stiffly in the leather seat, clearly feeling the chill emanating from Wu Changkong beside him. Even without summoning his martial soul, Wu Changkong seemed to be cold.

Xie Xie felt extremely uncomfortable and could only describe the scenery along the way to Tang Wulin, who was in front of him.

"Our Sun and Moon Federation has a total of eighteen first-tier cities. The Sky Sea Alliance is an alliance composed of five first-tier cities in the eastern region, with Sky Sea City as the leader. Due to its proximity to the sea, it has abundant fishery resources and its economic development is quite good, only slightly worse than Mingdu and Shrek City."

"However, the strength of Soul Masters is relatively weak. The Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition is a competition established by the Tianhai Alliance to recruit Soul Master talents. Those who achieve excellent results will be rewarded with Federal Coins."

Upon hearing about the Federal Currency reward, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up considerably. Forging was very expensive, and he had only learned Thousand Forging less than a year ago, so it wasn't time for him to make money yet.

He has a huge appetite, which is fine at the college, but he can eat his entire family's savings in one meal when he goes out, so he has to make more money.

He pressed further, "How much is the prize for the champion?" Xie Xie scratched his head, "I haven't paid much attention, but it's at least several million. The main thing is that you can't stay in Tianhai City, otherwise the prize would be even greater."

"Several million is not a small amount."

Tang Wulin looked at Wu Changkong, then at Gula, and hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

Wu Changkong was resting with his eyes closed when he noticed Tang Wulin's gaze and said softly, "No, the difference in your strength is too great. Competing together won't be very effective."

"We invited you to participate in the competition so that you can learn. Don't let money blind you."

Xie Xie felt that Wu Changkong was talking without understanding the situation. If he could eat as much as Tang Wulin, he would definitely find any way to make money.

But Tang Wulin was a good boy. As soon as Wu Changkong said that, he immediately gave up the idea and decided to focus on winning the prize in the forging competition.

The Soul-Guided Train travels across the steel trestle bridge of the Cloud and Mist Mountains, the roar of the train meshing with the tracks echoing through the canyon.

Gula pressed his forehead against the window, gazing at the scene that was strikingly similar to his previous life, watching the surging sea of ​​clouds outside the window being dyed a molten gold color by the setting sun.

Suddenly, the train emitted a piercing metallic groan.

"Crack!"

A sharp sound, like claws scraping against steel plates, came from the roof of the carriage, like the Grim Reaper knocking on a coffin lid with his fingernails. Gula saw his reflection distorted and warped on the glass and quickly jumped away.

"Attack! Watch out!"

Wu Changkong opened his eyes, drew his Heavenly Frost Sword, and a chill enveloped the carriage. He sensed a Soul Douluo-level soul power.

The entire carriage began to shake violently. Glasses on the dining car shattered one after another, and orange juice soaked the scarlet carpet.

Just as Wu Changkong drew his Heavenly Frost Sword, three winged Soul Masters crashed through the observation window, their lightning-infused feathers shredding the leather seats to pieces.

Three masked men hovered in mid-air, the leader's vertical pupil gleaming with an eerie purple light.

A scream rang out from the passengers. The masked man frowned and used his soul power to seal the screaming passenger's mouth, but he did not make a killing move. However, he then took off his pants in front of everyone.

The leader frowned, but did not stop them, releasing his Soul Douluo-level soul power to suppress the entire area.

"Quiet! We're only here to find someone. Once we find them, we'll leave immediately."

When he spoke, his voice was like sandpaper rubbing against a soul-guided megaphone: "Hand over Gura, or turn into charcoal along with this carriage."

"Who are you, daring to attack a federal train!"

The sounds of fighting could be heard from the front of the carriage, indicating a conflict between the passengers and the attackers.

The attackers were not willing to waste time. Seeing that no one stepped forward, they looked around and carefully examined the faces of the passengers. One of them said impatiently, "Who is Gula? Hurry up and step forward, or you'll be in trouble."

Gula was taken aback. He thought it was Tang Wu's soul guiding the train killer's luck to take effect, but he didn't expect it to be looking for him.

Gula telepathically reminded her, "Teacher Wu, get ready to make your move."

Wu Changkong nodded.

The next instant, Wu Changkong's Heavenly Frost Sword emitted a dragon-like hum, and the entire carriage instantly condensed into frost patterns, freezing the three people in an instant.

The instant Gula sent the message, a gravitational field seventy times stronger suddenly descended. Nearby food carts were crushed, and the attacker's wings cracked under the immense pressure.
