Douluo: Unlocking the Great Secrets of the Human Body, Becoming a Heavenly Demon

Douluo: Unlocking the Great Secrets of the Human Body, Becoming a Heavenly Demon

Author: Road in the Distance Qa

Synopsis:

(Dragon King Legend fanfiction)

A soul from another world, reincarnated through transmigration.

Would he live an ordinary life, or contend amid chaotic times?

The curtain was slowly rising; no one could remain untouched!

How would the story unfold?

Would soul beasts unite and rule the world? Would there still be an ancient legend of lovers dying for each other in the future?

Would the God King's schemes still succeed before the Demon from Beyond the Heavens? Would Tang Wulin completely replace the Golden Dragon King?

The Douluo Plane had always been waiting for someone who could bring all karma to an end.

Perhaps we had once been the closest of friends. Even if there were bonds between us, our positions differed. When the survival of our races and the unification of our nations were at stake, we could only scheme against each other and await the final outcome.

A genius-type male lead. If you do not like that, do not enter. Decisive in killing, with Human Body Secret Arts as his cheat. The female lead is Gu Yue Na.

"An unparalleled talent. In the Dragon King's struggle, the world has no master. Who knows how many will ultimately claim the title of emperor, and how many will be called kings?"

"Even I must be extremely cautious in this game. Once a move is made, there are no regrets. The God King's ten-thousand-year scheme, the great cause of soul beast revival, Spirit Pagoda's soaring ambitions, the Douluo Federation's unification plan, the Abyss Plane's desire to devour... The situation truly was tangled and complex, yet so simple and clear."

Late at night, moonlight like snow draped a hazy veil over Bai Xu as he rested in the courtyard. The young man turned the pages of his book and sat cross-legged beneath the moon, seeming both indistinct and clear.

He looked up at the moon, the corners of his lips curving upward. Madness gleamed in his eyes, and great ambition filled his heart.

Given another life, who would be willing to live beneath another's feet?

The Dragon God was gone. The Golden and Silver Dragon Kings were indeed invincible; no one's Martial Soul could compare with those of the two protagonists.

The lord of soul beasts and the Sea God's son were both far too dazzling, robbing an entire generation of its brilliance.

And how could a mere spiritual Martial Soul like his "Heavenly Eye" compare to a Dragon King Martial Soul?

At that thought, Bai Xu withdrew his gaze and looked at the book within reach. A breeze flipped through its pages, as though a pair of great hands were manipulating them and revealing its true form.

The paper seemed to record a segment of history, worn and weathered.

The six large words, "Secrets of the Human Body Cultivation," imprinted themselves deeply in his mind.

That was right. The human body possessed great secrets.

As a transmigrator, Bai Xu's advantage lay in knowledge that other soul masters did not possess. This was the capital that gave him confidence to contend with his peers amid the tides of the age.

The first page of the secret manual—The human body's hidden power was boundless!

Ding-dong!

The doorbell, gradually echoing through the room, shattered the cottage's tranquility.

"I'll be right there!" The middle-aged woman rose to greet the visitors, while signaling Bai Xu to put away that strange cross-legged posture and welcome the guests.

The door swung open, and two Spirit Transmitters wearing Spirit Pagoda Uniforms greeted them with smiles. "Hello, is this the home of our colleague Bai Tao?"

"Yes, Spirit Transmitter sirs. Please come in." Bai Tao's wife, Bai Ying, saw the Spirit Transmitter insignias on their sleeves and respectfully welcomed the distinguished guests inside.

Spirit Transmitters coming in person meant the Spirit Pagoda placed great importance on the child's talent and wished to focus on nurturing him. Bai Xu had only undergone his Martial Soul awakening a few days ago, so the purpose of their visit was not difficult to guess.

"Are the two Spirit Transmitter sirs here for Little Xu?" Bai Ying led them into the living room, hurriedly poured tea, and signaled Bai Xu to greet them.

Before Bai Xu could do anything, however, one Spirit Transmitter said with a genial smile, "Little friend, it has been three days since we last met. We came to ask about your intentions, and also to inform your parents."

The other Spirit Transmitter said, "After the news of Bai Xu's Martial Soul awakening was reported to the East Sea Spirit Transmission Tower, it immediately drew the attention of the higher-ups. We even heard that the branch tower master personally attended the meeting. We sincerely hope that this child can join the Spirit Pagoda, and we can guarantee the importance and training Bai Xu will receive. This is the agreement. Please review it."

Bai Ying accepted the agreement and was instantly dumbfounded. "Study under a Spirit Sage for six years, then go to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters for further study after passing the branch tower's assessment. He can even take a Titled Douluo above Rank 95 as his master. Heavens!"

To ordinary citizens of Eastsea City, a Titled Douluo was practically a legendary figure whom they might never see even once in their lives. Now, her son could become one's disciple. Wouldn't that mean he would soar to the heavens in a single step?

Bai Ying was delighted, but she did not reveal it. Instead, she immediately asked, "Does Bai Tao know about this?"

The Spirit Transmitter replied, "He does. Our colleague Bai Tao left the choice to Bai Xu. He said his son knew whether he should go to the Spirit Pagoda."

Those somewhat strange words instantly made the silent Bai Xu the center of everyone's attention.

Naturally, the Spirit Transmitters had investigated before coming. Bai Xu was an orphan who had been adopted by Bai Tao and his wife when he was three.

Now that his Martial Soul had awakened, he possessed Innate Full Soul Power and a Sky Eye Martial Soul extremely similar to Spirit Eyes. He was even more outstanding than the Spirit Pagoda's founder—the Spirit Ice Douluo who had become a god ten thousand years ago. Naturally, he had received great attention.

"I can join the Spirit Pagoda." Bai Xu answered softly, without the slightest excitement or nervousness, as though everything had gone exactly as expected.

"Good. Congratulations. After enrolling, Bai Xu will enter the finest class. Future news will be sent by Spirit Pagoda staff to colleague Bai Tao's Soul Guidance Communication. Oh, I almost forgot. The child may obtain his first soul ring from the Spirit Pagoda free of charge. This is the certificate, so please keep it safe. Our task is complete, so we will not stay any longer. Goodbye."

After Bai Xu agreed, the two Spirit Transmitters left without hesitation.

The person who ought to be congratulated most was Bai Xu's father, Bai Tao. In the future, his standing in the East Sea Spirit Transmission Tower would rise along with his son Bai Xu's extraordinary talent, so the two Spirit Transmitters hurried back to congratulate Bai Tao.

He would no longer need to serve merely as a Spirit Transmitter responsible for awakening Martial Souls for commoners. He might be promoted one or two ranks and be assigned to oversee and monitor the operation of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

After seeing off the Spirit Transmitters, Bai Ying beamed and said, "Little Xu, you must cultivate diligently under the Spirit Pagoda's esteemed teachers in the future. You will surely become a Titled Douluo one day!"

"I understand, Godmother."

The next day

Early in the morning, Bai Xu and Bai Tao arrived at the East Sea Spirit Transmission Tower. Octagonal buildings were rare in the area, and this one covered an enormous area with seven floors. It was said that the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters in Shrek City had a full eighty-one floors and was praised as the grandest building of all.

Bai Tao said, "Although I have worked as a Spirit Transmitter for more than ten years, spirit souls are truly shockingly expensive. A ten-year white spirit soul costs seventy thousand, while a hundred-year yellow spirit soul costs one million. If Little Xu were not talented enough, a small family like ours would not have much capital to support your cultivation."

"Then what level of spirit soul can this card buy?" Bai Xu asked doubtfully as he looked at the black card in his hand.

"At most, a ten-thousand-year one."

"Ten thousand years!" Bai Xu was somewhat surprised.

"Yes. The higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda value you highly because your Sky Eye Martial Soul resembles that Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago. But unfortunately, you only have one Martial Soul. If you had a Second Martial Soul like him, perhaps you would become the next him!"

As a Spirit Transmitter, Bai Tao often introduced customers to the Spirit Pagoda's origins. Naturally, he had memorized the Spirit Ice Douluo's experiences and information.

After entering a mechanized room, Bai Xu was arranged to lie down in an empty seat. This was an instrument for testing spiritual power. The level of one's spiritual power determined the grade of spirit soul one could choose.

From low to high, spiritual power was divided into six great levels: Spirit Origin Realm (0–100), Spirit Connection Realm (101–500), Spirit Sea Realm (501–5000), Spirit Abyss Realm (5001–20000), Spirit Domain Realm (20001–50000), and the legendary Divine Origin Realm.

Beep!

The result came moments later. The displayed value was 456: high-stage Spirit Connection Realm.

The instant Bai Tao saw that number, he was dumbfounded. His first reaction was not delight, but shock. This adopted son of his was simply too talented—so talented that it was terrifying.

No wonder the child was so sensible and mature in the way he handled people and matters, like a little adult.

Bai Tao altered the result and printed Bai Xu a certificate showing only early-stage Spirit Connection Realm spiritual power. With the heavy annual workload of spiritual power testing, no one would notice unless they were determined to investigate.

Even so, it was enough to startle anyone. An early-stage Spirit Connection Realm at six years old could absorb a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul. Even the children at Shrek Academy were probably no better than that.

Bai Tao hesitated. "I'm a little worried now. Can Little Xu really absorb a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul at six? After all, I have no experience with this and can't offer you much help."

"Godfather, don't worry. There should not be any problem. We only need to choose a spirit soul with an appropriate age. With high-stage Spirit Connection Realm spiritual power, those Thousand-Year Soul Beasts cannot do anything to me."

"Good. Let's go."

They left the room for testing spiritual power and entered an adjacent room.

This room was much larger. Inside stood a massive instrument three meters tall and six meters wide. Within it were numerous spherical objects roughly a foot in diameter, each emitting a faint glow.

A virtual panel appeared, displaying information on various soul beasts.

"Your Martial Soul is spiritual in nature, so choosing a spiritual-type soul beast suits you better." As he spoke, Bai Tao selected the spiritual-attribute filter. Below it was a list of around a dozen Thousand-Year Soul Beasts with spiritual attributes, including Dream Illusion Winged Butterflies and Colorful Illusion Lizards.

"Sacred Illusion Demon Ape." Bai Xu saw the soul beast and softly read its name aloud.

Bai Tao opened the detailed information. "The Sacred Illusion Demon Ape is an exceptionally intelligent soul beast. Usually, only one exists within a forest. Its soul ring has a high probability of granting a soul master increased spiritual power. When paired with Spirit Shock, the effect is excellent."

After reading the introduction, Bai Xu made his decision. "I'll choose the Sacred Illusion Demon Ape spirit soul."

"Alright."

The black card was inserted.

Ding!

The purple sphere rolled out from the machine and into Bai Xu's hands.

"Then let's hurry home and refine it!"

The Sacred Illusion Demon Ape—a Star Dou Great Forest-grade spiritual soul beast that Bibi Dong had once slain, dropping a spiritual-attribute skull bone. Bai Xu had never expected that, ten thousand years later, the Spirit Pagoda would preserve it through spirit soul methods.

Bai Xu looked at the purple sphere before him, satisfaction clear in his eyes.

A Thousand-Year Spirit Soul could provide up to three soul rings. If all of them were soul skills that enhanced spiritual power, he would truly strike it rich.

Closing his eyes, Bai Xu silently entered a meditative state. The fusion had officially begun.
