Douluo: Unlocking the Great Secrets of the Human Body, Becoming a Heavenly Demon Chapter 30

Bai Xu explained, "A spiritual-attribute soul skill. Against soul beasts with lower cultivation, it can directly control them."

"The first stage of the Soul Spirit Tower has been cleared. A soul spirit is available for absorption: Wind Wolf! Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Choose whether to absorb it within ten seconds." An electronic voice echoed from all directions. At the same time, a golden door of light appeared before them. It was not as large as the first one, but it was equally profound.

A phantom of a Wind Wolf floated before the door of light.

Everyone stepped through the door together and entered the second level.

The soul beasts in the first few levels were far too weak. With only a thousand years of cultivation, they had no ability to resist Bai Xu, who already had four soul rings, and were instantly crushed.

"Wow! What kind of soul skill is that? That's ridiculous!" Yue Zhengyu exclaimed. They did not even need to make a move.

Yuanen Yehui kept glancing at Bai Xu, her interest in him growing considerably.

However, starting from the eighth stage, two-thousand-year soul beasts began to appear, so Bai Xu stopped using it and left them for the team to handle.

At the ninth stage, Gu Yue said gravely, "Everyone, be careful. Every ninth stage in the Soul Spirit Tower is a major hurdle. This one is the strongest among the first nine stages. Xiaoyan, what do you think of this one?"

Xu Xiaoyan looked at the Ice Bear before them, her eyes sparkling. "What a cute Ice Bear! It's close to four thousand years old, which is more than enough. Any higher, and it won't be easy for me to absorb. This one!"

Bai Xu did not make a move in this stage. It took the group quite some effort to deal with the four Ice Bears.

"Alright, you've consumed a lot of Soul Power. After Xu Xiaoyan absorbs it, I'll take the lead in attacking. You just defend where you are."

"Alright." Tang Wulin trusted Bai Xu. At last, Bai Xu lowered the arms he had been folding while watching from the sidelines. He no longer used spiritual power, instead joining the battlefield with sheer physical strength. Back then, Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw had been slightly stronger than Bai Xu, but after several years apart, how much had each of them improved?

Yuanen Yehui looked at Bai Xu doubtfully, unable to understand where his confidence came from. The four Ice Bears on this level had already given everyone some trouble, but she had to continue upward. A three-thousand-year soul spirit was not suitable for her.

Everyone left Xu Xiaoyan behind to absorb the Ice Bear soul spirit and stepped through the door of light. The original octagonal hall became a circular hall. The metal doors in the distance were still there, but instead of eight, there was only one.

A colossal metal door thirty meters tall and twenty meters wide.

Every nine stages marked a new tier. Having passed the first nine stages, they had entered the second tier.

Yuanen Yehui's eyes began to shine. Xu Xiaoyan had already found a suitable soul spirit. Next would be hers.

Boom, boom, boom— Amid the thunderous sounds, a massive figure gradually entered their view.

Its entire body was covered in a layer of dark purplish-black scales. It was over ten meters long and weighed at least ten thousand jin. It walked on all fours and possessed a huge tail. Every step made the ground tremble.

At first glance, it resembled a gigantic lizard. But upon closer inspection, its head was far larger than that of an ordinary lizard, and two curved horns extended upward from its head.

"A Demon Lizard Dragon with over four thousand years of cultivation," Xie Xie recognized the soul beast.

Then everyone looked toward Bai Xu. For the first time, a faint golden light emerged from his body, slowly gathering into a Golden Longsword. The sword could lengthen or shorten at will, and its sharp intent seemed to probe every gaze fixed upon it, making their eyes ache.

Whoosh!

Everyone closed their eyes and felt as if the world had gone dark. Then a streak of golden light flashed, and the Demon Lizard Dragon was decapitated. The sharpness of the Metal Element was unstoppable, truly a peerless weapon of slaughter.

"Th-this... it was killed in less than five seconds?" Xie Xie's mouth hung open in disbelief. He knew Bai Xu was strong, but he had not expected him to be this outrageously strong.

Tang Wulin was not surprised. This Demon Lizard Dragon was not particularly powerful, and it also possessed dragon bloodline. He could have done the same, though perhaps not as cleanly as Bai Xu.

Everyone looked toward Yuan En, waiting for her answer.

Yuan En recovered from her shock and silently marveled that no one in Shrek was to be underestimated. Then she said, "Let's continue. The Demon Lizard Dragon isn't suitable for me. Can you still go on?"

Bai Xu replied, "Of course!"

The Eleventh Level

The massive door slowly opened. This time, no ferocious aura emerged. Instead, waves of thunder rumbled out.

A streak of light shot out from the cavern and instantly rose into the air.

Its entire body was a strange bright yellow. None of them had ever seen fur of that color before. It looked like a small squirrel, only about a foot long, but its tail was not fluffy like a squirrel's. It was thin and pointed, standing upright with two bends, resembling a bolt of lightning.

Its eyes were especially large, nearly occupying half its face. They were bluish-purple, and electric light swirled around its body. It was entirely relying on the power of lightning to float in midair.

"A Lightning Beast?" Bai Xu had seen one in a soul beast encyclopedia, but his eyes held even more curiosity. "I have some thoughts about the path of lightning as well."

The Five Thunders Orthodox Method was a lightning method.

Lightning was born from the yin and yang energies. According to the numbers of the Five Elements in the "Lo Shu": "East is three, south is two, north is one, west is four, and the center is five. This is the origin of all great numbers." Lightning traveled through the qi of heaven and earth, thus it was called the Five Thunders.

In internal cultivation, the Five Thunders corresponded to the five organs. Only when the qi of the five organs gathered together as one could one reach the Great Dao and grasp the wonders of the Five Thunders.

But Bai Xu used the essence of the five organs, so the two were extremely similar.

Thus, under everyone's astonished gazes, a flash of lightning suddenly flickered across Bai Xu's hand.

"Did Bai Xu's palm just flash with electricity?" Xie Xie doubted his own eyes, but Gu Yue was certain. The moment Bai Xu saw the Lightning Beast, he had comprehended lightning.

"What kind of talent is this? He can comprehend laws from soul beasts?" Gu Yue was shaken. The more she learned about Bai Xu, the more vast and unfathomable he seemed, like the universe itself.

Whoosh!

Bai Xu appeared before the Lightning Beast almost as if he had teleported. The instant he comprehended the lightning method, he drew it inward, using it to stimulate his meridians and strengthen his body, applying it much like that certain shameless fellow.

His meridians had always been resilient, and that secret manual contained knowledge of the body's meridians. Naturally, Bai Xu was completely at ease with it.

"So fast!" Yue Zhengyu blurted out. Even he could not react to that speed.

Golden light flashed, and the Lightning Beast split in two.

"It was also because you reminded me of some memories. If I hadn't seen the Lightning Beast, I wouldn't have remembered the path of lightning." Bai Xu sighed. He had been somewhat trapped by that book, his thinking unable to expand. There were countless paths and methods in the world, not merely the Five Elements, yin and yang, and chaos.

Lightning seemed to flash through his eyes as he looked at Yuan En and waited quietly.

"L-let's continue. The Lightning Beast isn't suitable for me either." Yuanen Yehui stammered slightly. She was truly stunned. Shrek Academy was filled with hidden talents, but at the same time, she was somewhat delighted. Could they perhaps charge even higher?

The Twelfth Level

When the soul beast emerged from the cavern, it had to lower its head. It stood over ten meters tall. Its body was so immense that the previous Demon Lizard Dragon would have seemed like a little brother before it. Its shoulders alone were more than seven meters wide, and its arms were as thick as enormous pillars.

"This is the one, the Diamond Baboon!" Yuanen Yehui made her choice decisively.

"Work with me. I'm getting a little worn out."

Ever since earlier, Bai Xu's right hand holding the Golden Sword had been trembling slightly. He put on a convincing act, though he himself still appeared relaxed, forcibly maintaining appearances.

This was perfectly reasonable. For a teenager, no one wanted to seem weaker than others. This display was meant for Leng Yaozhu in the monitoring room.

He had gained something from this trip, but it would not be good to stand out any further. It would draw the attention of those above.

"Alright! Yuan En, Bai Xu, you two and I will lead the attack! Go!" Tang Wulin shouted. His Golden Dragon Claw activated, and he reversed his blood essence to release a faint dragon roar. His skin turned golden, as though scales were rippling across its surface.

Everyone moved at once, launching a joint assault on the Diamond Baboon.

After a fierce battle, Bai Xu's Golden Sword and Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw struck the baboon's head together, killing it with a single blow. Yuan En began absorbing the soul spirit.

They were all somewhat out of breath, but the joy of victory after battle welled up within them. Their team had made it this far together.

Tang Wulin walked over to Bai Xu and smiled. "Just like back at Eastsea Academy, you're so strong!"

"Hehe, you're not bad either. The area covered by those golden scales has gotten larger."

"Bai Xu, Gu Yue, join our team. Let's work hard together and aim for the Shrek Inner Court, alright?" Tang Wulin's big eyes blinked pitifully. Some injuries from the battle still remained on his body, and paired with his adorable appearance, he truly looked pitiable.

But Bai Xu refused. He shook his head. "My heart isn't in Shrek. I'll leave after graduating in a few years. Gu Yue and I have both joined the Spirit Pagoda, and Gu Yue is also the direct disciple of the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo. We can't leave."

"Alright, then. It's a pity, but we're still friends!"

Two Hours Later

After Yuanen Yehui finished absorbing the soul spirit, she was the first to walk over to Tang Wulin and Bai Xu. Looking at Bai Xu, she said, "My name is Yuanen Yehui. Thank you for helping me this time."

"My name is Bai Xu."

For the strong, people felt more admiration than anything else.

Xu Xiaoyan had emerged before them and stood before the door of light, looking at them with high spirits.

Leng Yaozhu stood beside her with a smile and sincerely praised them. "I originally thought the ninth level would be your limit, but I never expected you to clear twelve stages in a row. You truly are outstanding talents from Shrek Academy.

"If you are willing, the doors of the Spirit Pagoda will be open to you. Every one of you is welcome to join. You will receive the Spirit Pagoda's finest resources and training, and it will not affect your future studies at Shrek Academy."

Leng Yaozhu was very kind. Though she intended to recruit the others, her gaze focused mainly on Bai Xu. This little fellow was unbelievably strong, far surpassing others his age.

Fortunately, he had already joined the Spirit Pagoda.

The group exchanged looks, but no one spoke.

Tang Wulin gently shook his head. "Sorry, Senior, but I already have an organization." The others also politely declined.

"What a pity. Then you may leave after settling the bill. Yue'er, stay behind for a moment."

Bai Xu did not linger and left with the others.

Leng Yaozhu looked at Gu Yue and chuckled. "The way you look at Bai Xu is unusual. Do you like him?"

"A-a little." Gu Yue was still somewhat shy at being asked so suddenly, and her face instantly flushed red. But she did not deny it.
