Douluo: True and False Wanye Body

Chapter 8: Twisted Things (Seeking Investment!)

In the jungle, Xu Xiaoyan's figure was a bit disheveled, her two light blue braids swaying behind her, and her originally fair and delicate face was stained with a bit of dust.

"Zzzzzz~"

The sound of sharp blades rubbing against each other echoed from behind her, like a death knell from the Grim Reaper.

Xu Xiaoyan stopped, summoned her Star Staff, and cautiously probed, "Brother?"

"Gah!"

A green figure rushed out, meeting her with a strike. Xu Xiaoyan hadn't even reacted to press the distress signal when the sharp edge was already upon her.

Clang!

There seemed to be the sound of metal clashing echoing. When she opened her eyes again, Xu Xiaoyan saw the emerald green figure blocking her path. He was holding off the mantis's sharp blade with his arm, his whole body burning with green flames. As he turned, the flames in his eyes traced a perfect green arc in the air.

Then Xu Xiaoyan heard this person exclaim in surprise, "Emerald Mantis!?"

She immediately explained, "This isn't an Emerald Mantis, it's a Blade Mantis!"

Bai Xu glanced back at her in surprise, seemingly confirming the image, and then engaged in battle with the Blade Mantis.

Clang, clang, clang!

The extreme offense and defense of an attack system were exhilarating. The arm covered in green flames continuously clashed with the exceptionally sharp forelimbs, and the sound of steel colliding echoed incessantly. Both moved swiftly, possessing both speed and strength, and had exchanged blows multiple times within just a few breaths.

Bang!

After another collision with the Blade Mantis, Bai Xu pulled back, briefly landing beside Xu Xiaoyan. He smiled slightly, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"Xu Xiaoyan."

Bai Xu just chuckled softly and didn't say anything more.

When he saved Xu Xiaoyan, the cause and effect that could affect life and death were already established. Karma comes from cause and effect. Although there was an intention to steal, Bai Xu preferred to call this move:

'Three True Myriad Phenomena Borrowing Technique'

Xu Xiaoyan stared blankly at the strange person in front of her. She had never seen such a Spirit possessed state. The green flames wrapped around his body prevented her from seeing the person's face. She only saw the flames gradually peel off and condense, forming the shape of the ice staff in her hand.

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

Xu Xiaoyan instantly knew this guy was definitely a genius. To have two thousand-year spirit rings at his age required extremely high demands on physical fitness and mental force.

Under her surprised gaze, the green flames on the young man ignited his first spirit ring. The spirit ring turned green, also burning with flames, looking like some incredible Spirit Ability was about to be unleashed.

Xu Xiaoyan asked, "What are you doing?"

"Does that even need saying?" Bai Xu didn't look back, a hint of excitement in his eyes. He waved the Star Staff in his hand, "First Spirit Ability, Star Wheel Chains!"

Starlight was brilliant, and lines of starlight rose from beneath the Blade Mantis's feet. Wherever they passed, they turned into chains of ice, sealing its beast form.

"With my status, this Spirit Ability can seal you for at least three seconds. Goodbye!"

A look of terror appeared on the mantis's face. With a flash of cold light, the Blade Mantis's head fell to the ground, its body collapsing and transforming into threads of spiritual power that continuously poured into the Needle Tailed Swift.

Xu Xiaoyan's small mouth was slightly agape, and she belatedly cried out in surprise, "Are you using my Spirit Ability or my mutated Spirit? It's not night now, how can you use a celestial phenomenon Spirit Ability?"

"Secret."

Bai Xu didn't pay much attention to Xu Xiaoyan's confusion. He sat down cross-legged and circulated his spirit power to ensure he could absorb the spiritual power transformed from the thousand-year Blade Mantis faster, allowing the Needle 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 his Spirit made her very curious. After struggling for a few seconds, Xu Xiaoyan decided to ask the young man for clarification.

A few minutes later.

Bai Xu stood up, let out a long breath, and looked at the girl who was quietly waiting beside him, "You're still here? That young man with the ice staff just pressed the distress signal."

"I... I want to team up with you." Tears welled up in Xu Xiaoyan's light blue eyes, and there was still dust on her fair cheeks that hadn't been wiped away. Her hair was messy, and she looked pitiful, acting so realistically that it was hard to tell if it was real or fake.

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

Seeing Bai Xu about to leave, Xu Xiaoyan hurriedly followed, the tears in her eyes instantly wiped away, replaced by a determined expression, "I can assist you, and you can continue to copy my Spirit Abilities. You saw it just now, my Spirit Abilities are very useful, right!"

"Sorry, I can still borrow the technique even without you." A smug smile appeared on Bai Xu's face. He turned and ran towards the east, waving behind him as he said, "See you later."

The first semester after Zero Class was established, Xu Xiaoyan would join as a transfer student. They would meet again then!

Xu Xiaoyan looked confused, pointing vaguely to the west with one hand, a string of question marks flashing above her head. She softly said, "What are you doing? Aren't the depths of the Spirit Ascension Platform over there?"

!!!

Bai Xu paused, looking back, and saw that the direction Xu Xiaoyan was pointing was completely opposite to the direction he was heading. He was slightly embarrassed. He had come in a bit of a hurry, and it was his first time here, so he didn't know the map very well. Plus, the Spirit Ascension Platform was a random teleportation, which did make him a bit disoriented.

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

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

At the same time, he also released his Soul Spirit to scout ahead.

"Of course!" Starlight twinkled in Xu Xiaoyan's eyes, filled with anticipation.

"Then let's walk and talk?"

"Yay!" Xu Xiaoyan seemed to have won, her joy evident.

Bai Xu directly ignored the awkward scene just now and got straight to the point, glancing at Xu Xiaoyan and asking, "Do you know what Spirit Beasts are in the depths of the Spirit Ascension Platform?"

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

"My name is Bai Xu, and this is my first time at the Spirit Ascension Platform," he introduced himself.

"No wonder. I heard that in the depths of the Eastsea Spirit Transfer Pagoda's Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, there is a hundred-year-level Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. This species is powerful. Even at the hundred-year level, many thousand-year Spirit Beasts are not its match, and very few Spirit Masters below four rings can kill it. You're not perhaps looking for it, are you?" Xu Xiaoyan had a hint of apprehension in her voice.

"Yes, just scouting it out first," Bai Xu nodded in acknowledgment. Then he thought of something and looked at Xu Xiaoyan, saying in a low voice, "You actually want to ask me why I can use your mutated Spirit even without the starry sky, right?"

(⊙﹏⊙)

She pleaded, "You saw through me, but could you please tell me? This is very important to me. I can pay you a price."

"No need. I need you to cooperate with me to complete an experiment. If it succeeds, your Spirit can naturally evolve. Are you willing?" Bai Xu was mysterious, his eyes burning as he stared at Xu Xiaoyan, as if he was going to devour her.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyan hesitated again. She was afraid this person was a demon who would capture and eat her, so she timidly asked, "Where... where will the experiment be? Do we need to meet in reality? My brother will definitely come with me..."

"Right now."

Hearing this, Bai Xu held an invisible object in his right hand, presenting it openly in front of Xu Xiaoyan. A strange feeling appeared. Xu Xiaoyan clearly couldn't see the invisible object, but she could feel it. It was emitting an unparalleled connection, trying to connect with her.

An extremely strong premonition surfaced. Xu Xiaoyan was about to complete the evolution of her Star Wheel Ice Staff within the virtual World of the Spirit Ascension Platform.
