Douluo Chat Group: They've All Become Addicted to Gossiping

Everyone's curiosity regarding the cultivation technique was thoroughly piqued.

After all, even if they hadn't seen things like spirit bones with their own eyes, they had at least heard of them.

But a "cultivation technique"—this was truly the first time they had ever heard such a term.

[A Life of Bitterness and Solitude: Actually, it's alright. I feel this technique focuses primarily on self-preservation, evasion, and speed. It doesn't seem to offer any improvements in terms of offense...]

[Child Without Parents: In other words, this is just a technique that can only be used to save your own life? (A bit disappointed)]

[A Life of Bitterness and Solitude: Hmm... that seems to be the case for now. The speed is ridiculously fast, but there really aren't any direct offensive moves. (Helpless shrug emoji)]

Bai Chenxiang was also on the verge of tears.

She had scoured every bit of content regarding the Cloud-Ascending Ladder in her mind, yet she couldn't find a single move that could be directly used to strike someone.

Sigh, she had hoped it would make up for her lack of offensive capabilities.

[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: It seems we were looking forward to it for nothing. (Regretful sigh)]

Just as everyone assumed this technique was merely a hollow name, specialized only in running away.

[Li Yuan: Who told you this technique has no offensive means?]

[Loves Eating Carrots: The Group Master big brother has appeared! Could it be that there's more to this technique than meets the eye?]

[Li Yuan: Of course. You can doubt anyone, but you must never doubt the rewards given by the group chat! Have you ever heard the saying: Speed is power!]

[Li Yuan: When your speed reaches its limit, even if you throw a light punch, it is comparable to a fully loaded carriage charging at you. You might not understand that, but let me put it in a way you can grasp: as long as the speed is fast enough, even the force generated by a needle can be terrifyingly destructive!]

[A Life of Bitterness and Solitude: But I tried attacking a wooden stake with my fist while flying at high speed, and the result was that the stake was fine, but my hand was swollen for a month... (Grieved expression)]

[Li Yuan: Ahem... there is a prerequisite for that: your physical body must be strong enough to withstand the terrifying impact force brought about by high speed.]

[A Life of Bitterness and Solitude: So, as long as I train my body to be strong enough, I can offset the impact and convert speed into attack power?]

[Li Yuan: Smart. Although the Cloud Ladder Step is primarily a movement technique, it contains a unique method of breathing and respiration. Long-term practice can subtly temper your physique and strengthen your body!]

[Li Yuan: Furthermore, if you are still afraid of not being able to withstand it, a spirit ring is also a good choice. A high-quality strength-type spirit ring provides a massive boost to one's physique, allowing you to handle the power brought by high speed more easily.]

[A Life of Bitterness and Solitude: I understand now, thank you Group Master big brother!]

Bai Chenxiang had a sudden epiphany, as if a brand-new path had unfolded before her eyes.

[A Life of Bitterness and Solitude: It's a pity I'm very poor and have nothing to thank you with. But, Group Master big brother, please wait a little longer. My grandfather has a treasure, I think it's called some kind of crystal ginseng? I heard it's extremely precious. Next time I find an opportunity, I'll take it and give it to you!]

Bai He: ???

Bai Chenxiang was truly grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.

Come to think of it, the Swift Clan was actually in a very awkward position.

Their Sharp-Tailed Swift spirit possessed speed that was unrivaled under the heavens, but... other than being fast, they had nothing else.

Their attack power was effectively zero, and their defense was as fragile as paper.

In any other fantasy or low-martial arts world, as long as one was fast, they could possess considerable combat power.

It was just a pity that this was Douluo.

The problem was that their spirit, the Sharp-Tailed Swift, was developed purely for the agility-attack system. All their spirit rings were basically speed-type avian spirits, which provided very, very little boost to a spirit master's physique.

In other words, if they wanted to strike targets by combining high speed with physical techniques, the enemy might not even be injured before they were killed by the backlash of the impact force from their own speed.

It was a case of dealing eight hundred damage to the enemy while suffering one thousand to oneself.

Therefore, it was completely not worth it, leading them into a dead end.

As time passed, the status of the Swift Clan became lower and lower.

But now, things were different.

With this miraculous movement technique, the Cloud Ladder Step, combined with the physical training and the strength-type spirit ring path pointed out by Li Yuan.

She had the potential to break this dead end!

At this moment, Bai Chenxiang was filled with hope for her future.

She was going to be the first in the history of the Swift Clan to become... a super agility-attack spirit master who could both fight and run!

In the Star Dou Forest.

The Little One, who had just woken up, flipped through the chat logs. When she saw that she could draw a reward, she immediately let out a few excited howls.

But when she ran over, her heart set on drawing it.

[Dear! The rewards have been drawn out. Please be earlier next time!]

"Awoo!!!! (Hmph, this baby didn't want it anyway!)"

It waved its little paws angrily at the air and turned its head away with a haughty air, but it still couldn't help but glance at the "Brick" screen from time to time, drooling over the pictures of those glittering gold rewards.

Although it didn't understand what these rewards meant.

It just felt, for some inexplicable reason, that by not grabbing a reward, it had suffered a huge loss!

Not far away, a Dark Golden Bear looked at the Auspicious Beast drooling at the air and scratched its bear ear: "Di Tian, do you think it's because we've killed too many humans, and we're suffering the consequences of our own evil deeds?"

"Bastard! Spouting rhymes like that, are you trying to take a God Trial?"

"But, why do I feel like the Auspicious Beast seems a bit dim-witted? Is this retribution for us?"

Hearing this, the Little One was immediately displeased.

She lunged fiercely at Big Bear and let out a sharp hiss: "Hiss--!"

"Di Tian, this is no longer an ordinary Auspicious Beast; she actually dared to hiss at me! This is truly lawless! May I give her a beating?"

"You have the guts to try?"

Bear Lord: "..."

The Little One held her head high and chest out, letting out a soft, "Hmph."

Who are you calling stupid?

Don't look at her small size and seemingly unintelligent appearance; in reality, she is sharp as a tack most of the time.

Within her tiny brain, she clearly remembers which of these soul beasts can be offended and which cannot.

For instance: Bi Ji is good to her, like a mother, so she cannot be offended. Then there is Zi Ji, a tigress, who is even more untouchable. The King of Ten Thousand Demons ignores her, and the Scarlet King is her bodyguard.

As for the blockheaded Bear Lord... he isn't even on the list.

Seeing this scene, the three-headed Scarlet King held back his laughter with all three heads, looking exactly like a certain grassland lion king from Li Yuan's past life.

Bear Lord was instantly enraged and kicked out immediately: "What are you laughing at, you stupid dog?"

Kicked for no reason, the Scarlet King was furious. Damn it, can't you handle losing?

Bear Lord slanted his eyes at him: "What, you're not convinced?"

"..."

In a fit of rage, the Scarlet King raged for a moment, then lowered his head and stopped grinning.

The King of Ten Thousand Demons hid to the side, secretly stifling his laughter.

Look at you, acting on impulse again, aren't you?

Li Yuan looked at Bai Chenxiang's words and guessed her identity, but the corner of his mouth still couldn't help but twitch.

Good heavens, this is truly filial piety so strong it breaks one's teeth.

However... Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng?

That is a treasure on the same level as a fairy herb!

Li Yuan silently gave Bai Chenxiang a thumbs-up in his heart.

Knowing how to repay kindness, this Bai Chenxiang is worth befriending!

[Li Yuan: I have things to do all afternoon, do not disturb!]

Li Yuan wanted to find a quiet place quickly to absorb the God-Given Soul Bone he had just obtained.

This item is a treasure that can grow alongside his own strength and even allow him to create his own soul bone skill; just thinking about it made him excited.

However, just as he was about to slip away, a few messages "dragged" him back.

[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Wait! Don't go yet, you haven't told us who those three idiot beauties of Martial Soul Hall are! (Gritting teeth)]

[Li Yuan: I know you're in a hurry, but don't get excited yet.]

[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Am I excited? (Voice raised a few notches)]

[Li Yuan: Look, you're rushing again! (Rolls eyes)]

[Child Without Parents: Group Owner, hurry and tell us, I really want to know which three pieces of trash could manage to ruin such a massive foundation as Martial Soul Hall!]

[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: (Little cat peeks out)]

[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: Actually, regarding this, I'm more curious about what a 'love-addled brain' is?]

[Big Cat in the Night: I'm very curious as well.]

[Li Yuan: A love-addled brain is actually quite simple; it's a type of person who acts based on emotion, cannot distinguish between right and wrong, and once they fall in love, they easily become desperate, even willing to sacrifice everything for the other person.]

[Li Yuan: As for those three idiot beauties and love-addled brains from Martial Soul Hall who took a winning hand and played it into a disaster...]

[They are Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena.]

[Li Yuan: That's right, the very three people you think are the least likely! Surprised? Unexpected?]

As soon as these words were spoken, the group chat instantly exploded.

[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: That's impossible, right? Bibi Dong is actually one of the culprits behind the destruction of Martial Soul Hall?]

[Loves Eating Carrots: Exactly! How could this be? Didn't Bibi Dong lead Martial Soul Hall to become increasingly powerful?]

[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: Could it be that some accident occurred within Martial Soul Hall?]

[Big Cat in the Night: That is very likely.]
