6 Battle Against Gu Yue

Gu Yue looked eager to try. Leng Jiuming's purpose in coming here was to see Bai Xu and Gu Yue fight.

He suggested, "Let's have an intermission. The last game should be extremely exciting, so my students need to be at full strength. What do you think?"

He knew that Heavenly Phoenix Douluo's direct disciple must be tough, so he wanted Bai Xu to take a break and give his best. Even if he lost, there would be no regrets.

"Okay."

Wu Zhangkong looked at Tang Wulin who came back. He had no injuries, but his soul power was too depleted. He needed some rest.

"I failed. He has a lot of tricks. From now on, I'll rely on you, Gu Yue!" Tang Wulin was a bit disappointed, but he still cheered for Gu Yue.

Gu Yue said, "I have met him once. His first soul skill of the Celestial Eye Martial Soul is mental amplification, and his second soul skill is the Eye of Fantasy Dreams, which belongs to the category of mental attack. His and my mental power are almost the same. It's hard for his attack to be effective, as long as I don't get close to him, there's nothing to fear."

Wu Zhangkong was a little surprised. How did Gu Yue know this information? Bai Xu was from Spirit Pagoda Academy. She had met him. Did that mean... 

"It seems that he has never used the Celestial Eye Martial Soul or mental attacks!" Xie Xie said.

Tang Wulin was also puzzled. "Anyway, Gu Yue, please be careful in everything."

"Okay."

While they were talking, Bai Xu caught the spiritual fruit that Leng Jiuming threw to him and swallowed it in three bites. He crossed his legs and recovered.

Leng Jiuming smiled and said, "Well, I'll just say you're right. They still have someone who can pressure you."

"Yeah, that guy named Tang Wulin is really strong." Bai Xu agreed.

Leng Jiuming glanced at him and said with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter who wins or loses in the competition when I was young. A person's life is not defined by one failure. 

The key is your subsequent growth. Without your secret book, I would have planned to do my best to maximize your growth potential, such as the tempering of soul power, life-and-death battles, the matching of soul rings, the choice of battle armor, and some opportunities in the Spirit Pagoda. 

Let me summarize the experience of every Poseidon Pavilion Master from Shrek. Each of them had incredible luck. They had rare immortal grass, academy rewards, competition experience, etc. All of these could be combined to become a strong person at level 99 Limit Douluo.

But your growth potential is higher than theirs. With the potential of the human body being continuously developed and supplemented by various spiritual cultivation, maybe you can really become a god."

Bai Xu was helpless. Ever since he told Leng Jiuming some knowledge about the human body, he had been very interested in it. He was optimistic about Bai Xu. "Teacher, if you keep saying this, I will be proud."

"Then be proud. It's okay. Shrek's ordinary geniuses are almost arrogant. Where are you now?"

Bai Xu: "...".

————————

"The break is over, the game begins!"

Bai Xu looked at Gu Yue, who was already waving her hand seals to form an attack, and then he flashed and approached her at an extremely fast speed.

Dozens of ice picks floated around Gu Yue. While Bai Xu was observing, a dazzling light burst out instantly, blocking his sight. The unexpected incident caused Bai Xu's steps to stall.

Then he was submerged by ice cones, and bursts of ice mist floated in place.

The golden light kept flashing in the fog, and it was Bai Xu who wielded the golden sword and slashed the ice cone with his perception. However, Gu Yue's offensive was even more fierce, with wind blades, fireballs and other elements that were not afraid of slashing coming one after another, forcing Bai Xu to change positions frequently.

The ability to control elements was very tricky, and ordinary people could not get close to it. Combined with the exquisite control of Gu Yue, it was simply impeccable.

"But that's it, let's end it!" Gu Yue shouted coldly, and various elements appeared and attacked Bai Xu again.

But as the side effects of the strong light disappeared, Bai Xu opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were filled with a dark and yellow aura. A mental thread slowly floated out, and the mental attack was finally used.

Gu Yue could certainly sense this mental thread, but she secretly laughed in her heart. What kind of mental power did she have? Using mental attacks on her was tantamount to seeking death.

The moment the thread floated towards Gu Yue's eyebrows, she had already seen the scene of Bai Xu being backlashed.

But the pain that penetrated her heart that followed made her unable to remain cold anymore. Her face changed drastically, she held her head and lowered her head, feeling shocked.

"How can it be! How could a soul grand master's mental attack hurt me!"

The flying elemental attack stagnated for a moment, and then slowly dissipated in mid-air. Bai Xu naturally would not miss this good opportunity, and rushed forward with the golden sword, but Gu Yue still stood up, the space rippled, and disappeared in a flash.

She reappeared at the other end of the spirit fighting arena, keeping a hundred meters away from Bai Xu.

She was ready, her brows furrowed, full of fear and doubt.

But Bai Xu was delighted. He knew that the mental attack worked, and he didn't know why there was no backlash. However, the mental attack he just used to try it out worked, so there was no need to mention the next method.

He pinched it in his hand, and dozens of mental threads floated out from the center of his eyebrows, making Gu Yue's eyes widen. These mental threads were not afraid of physical attacks and were invisible to the naked eye. Only those with strong mental power could detect them.

Now, so many threads were floating away as if lifeless, which made people want to curse.

'Logically speaking, the mental attack of a mere soul grand master could not hurt me, let alone cause me pain, but at that moment it was indeed like an iron nail piercing the depths of my soul, easily passing through the soul defense. There must be something hidden in this. If I want to know, I can only try again!'

Gu Yue's heart was cruel, and after receiving the next attack, she quickly retreated, holding back the pain and using space elements to shift her position.

When she reappeared, she staggered, covered her forehead and glared at Bai Xu, and then said: "I give up!"

"Haha, it seems that my students are better, brother Wu, this competition is over, next time when you go to Spirit Pagoda, remember to tell me, I can give you a discount on your purchases!"

Leng Jiuming happily picked up Bai Xu and flew away from the arena. He ignored the no-fly regulations of Eastsea City and flew back to the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda.

Wu Zhangkong didn't say anything. He looked at Gu Yue who came back and asked, "Does the mental attack hurt?"

"Yes, he has very good control over his mental power. The hit is like being stabbed, making the body stagnant and the soul power... stop the flow." Gu Yue covered her forehead and responded with difficulty.

"Go and rest first. You guys should also summarize the experience of this battle and tell me the lessons from this competition tomorrow."

"Yes!"

In the dormitory, Gu Yue sat by the window and asked doubtfully, "How is this possible? His mental power is not much, but the level seems to be very high. It seems to be higher than the spiritual consciousness. It has undergone a qualitative change? How could such a thing happen?"

But when he uses mental attacks, his soul power fluctuates. It's that spirit. Have the amplified soul skills been activated? Is it possible that the spiritual amplification improves not the mental power but the quality of the soul?

"But it's impossible to transcend spiritual consciousness. I need to pay attention to this Bai Xu in the future."

Bai Xu, who was in the dormitory of Spirit Pagoda Academy, was also thinking, "My mental attack can cause damage to the Silver Dragon King. Because I was afraid of backlash, I divided the mental attack into strands. Gu Yue seemed to be very afraid of these mental threads. But in the end, she took the initiative to catch the next strand, and then used space transfer to avoid the other threads."

After that, she gave up. There must be something hidden in this, or Gu Yue has noticed something.

"It seems that I have to learn the escape technique first."

Thinking of this, he immediately took out the secret book and began to study the earth escape and metal escape techniques.

After a night of meditation, Bai Xu had reached level 30. Unfortunately, the Holy Fantasy Demon Ape Soul could no longer provide a third soul ring.

Therefore, Bai Xu applied to Leng Jiuming to purchase another soul. Since his mental power was still at the beginning of the Spirit Sea Realm, it would be safer to choose a thousand-year soul with a medium age.

In the afternoon of the next day, Bai Xu and Leng Jiuming began their daily battle training as usual.

Bai Xu said, "Teacher, I am already level 30."

"Is it because the soul can no longer provide soul rings?" Leng Jiuming was not surprised.

"Yeah."

"The daily battle is suspended today. I'll help you get the soul ring first. Do you have any intention of a second soul?"

"Not yet. I don't have much time to look at it. I just finished taking the Golden Spirit Grass last night. The essence of the metal element has also been perfected, and the physical quality has improved a lot."

As soon as the theory of the five elements of the human body was mentioned, Teacher Leng became interested. His eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "Can you show me any novel moves?"

"Yes!" After saying that, Bai Xu took a deep breath, expanded his chest, and then spat it out. The air in his mouth turned into a dozen golden swords, growing from small to large, and extremely sharp. The flying sword penetrated the classroom wall and flew fifty meters away before slowly dissipating.

Looking at the flying sword that penetrated the wall, Leng Jiuming applauded and praised, "Yes, it is very powerful. This move can catch people by surprise. But your Five Elements cannot be exposed for the time being. At most, you can only say that you have the second martial spirit of Metal. The abilities of the other four elements should not be used for the time being. Do you understand?"

"Student understands."

"Well, let's go, let's get the soul!"

Leng Jiuming led Bai Xu, with his head held high and his chest out, and he was very satisfied with the student Bai Xu. He could be said to be his favorite disciple.

Leng Jiuming from the soul sales office of the Spirit Pagoda pointed to the soul introduction illustrated book and said, "Puppet Empress, a five thousand year old soul. Its characteristic is mind control. It is estimated that it can provide you with some mind control-type soul skills. How about it?"

"Yes, yes."

Drop!

As soon as the black card was swiped, the purple ball representing the thousand-year soul fell.

Leng Jiuming patted Bai Xu on the shoulder and said seriously, "Go back and refine, and I will take you somewhere in ten days. I feel it is necessary for you to meet the Dark soul master."

"Dark soul master?" Bai Xu was confused.

"Well, I recently received a report. On the small island outside Eastsea City, a young man awakened an dark spirit. It is said that he has killed several people. Now he is under the control of the spiritual master, waiting for the dark soul master's final trial. I want you to go over and see it."

"Okay, I have no problem."

"Oh, by the way, this is the ticket to enter the Soul Ascension Platform. The Soul Ascension Platform is about to enter the riot period. Go in and kill as many as you can, don't feel pressured."

Leng Jiuming cared very much about Bai Xu and made proper arrangements for his experience and training.

The Ascension Platform has two riot periods every year. Initially, it was caused by the internal instability of the energy used to build the Ascension Platform. Later, with the advancement of science and technology, the Spirit Ascension Platform riot period was controlled and it became of a special nature.

During the riot period, the soul beasts inside the Spirit Ascension Platform will become particularly active and their number will increase. The risk is greatly increased. Every time it enters the riot period, there are 300 quotas for each of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars to enter.

Therefore, the quota in Bai Xu's hands is extremely precious, and he can enter and exit many times. It can be seen that this is a resource that Leng Jiuming spent a lot of effort to obtain.

From that day on, every time Bai Xu went to the Soul Ascension Platform, he would stay there for a few days. On the one hand, he promoted the soul, and on the other hand, he trained his strength.

The staff of the Observation Room of the Spirit Pagoda met this genius again.

They were already familiar enough to say hello. It was no surprise that the thousand-year-old soul beast was killed by Bai Xu.

But Leng Jiuming was very interesting. He told staff that the video of Bai Xu's Ascension Platform training must be deleted, and no one could leave a backup without authorization.

He don't know what the Lord Soul Saint's intention was. Of course, the staff would not touch the adults' brows, and they would do whatever they were told. On the ninth day, Bai Xu finally waited for the riot period at the Spirit Ascension Platform.

He hid in the shadows under the dense forest. During the riots, the number of soul beasts not only increased, but they also became very violent. They would kill anyone they saw.

Moreover, the battle would also attract the surrounding beasts to join the hunt.

Therefore, once they fell into a hard battle, the soul masters would not be far from elimination. But this was what Bai Xu wanted.

He aimed at a porcupine with century-old bone spurs under the tree, jumped up from the tree, and hit its head with a precise fist, breaking its defensive bone spurs and killing it with one blow.

The next moment, several piglets rushed out of the bushes nearby, howling and rushing towards Bai Xu.

Looking at the immature piglets, Bai Xu punched them one after another, sending them flying backwards.

The movement was heard, and the sound of Haloxylon ammodendron began to appear around him. Bai Xu ran quickly towards the open space, and the sounds of Haloxylon ammodendron behind him became closer and more frequent, as if there were dozens of pairs of feet exerting force at the same time.

Only when they reached an open area of several tens of meters without the obstruction of trees could Bai Xu see his figure clearly.

It was a centipede that was a thousand years old. It even had a pair of wings growing out of its back. It was fifteen meters long. The armor on its back was shiny. The rustling sound of the centipede stepping on the grass made people shudder.

Squeak!

The wings on its back flapped slightly, and the centipede was able to glide briefly with the help of the wind. Its body was straight, like a sharp arrow piercing the air and heading towards Bai Xu.

Bai Xu used his legs to exert force and turned to the right to dodge. At the same time, a golden sword formed in his hand to defend against the enemy.

The huge size of the two sides fighting would indeed bring a slight sense of psychological oppression to people, like the natural fear of facing giants.

The hundred-footed centipede's soul power surged, and its hundred feet turned into swords, and it could actually draw hundreds of sword energy attacks out of thin air!

Seeing this, Bai Xu formed a sharp sword with his left hand, and danced his arms to form a close attack in front of him. He protected himself from the attack of hundreds of sword energies.

However, the next moment, the centipede glided over, and the sharp saw teeth at the corners of its mouth were ready to tear Bai Xu's body in half.

Boom!

The golden sword was placed horizontally at his side, resisting the two saw teeth attacking from the side. The huge momentum caused Bai Xu to fall backwards and crash into the cliff behind, causing a huge depression.

This was the first time for Bai Xu to encounter such a spirit beast with both speed and strength, and it was even better than him in every aspect.

But it was a pity that the soul beast was not very intelligent.

The serrations at the corners of the centipede's mouth continued to increase in force. The ugly face was only two meters away from Bai Xu's front door. Bai Xu's chest swelled and his soul power did not fluctuate at all, making him unaware of the coming attack.

Then, more than a dozen flying swords were used to wash the face and cut into the centipede's head by more than ten centimeters.

Four thousand years later, the centipede died. Bai Xu struggled to get up from the cliff. The smell of blood appeared in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The collision caused him some internal injuries.

However, with the death of this four-thousand-year-old centipede, the surrounding forest seemed to turn into a forest of death. Pairs of eyes flashed red in the dense forest, staring straight at Bai Xu..

Crunch, crunch, massive shapes emerged from the darkness.

The fall of the forest's ruler would surely spark a fierce competition for power among his followers.
