Body Sect Sect Master

Heaven Dou City was an ancient colossal city that had stood tall through countless storms and changes over tens of thousands of years on Douluo Continent.

It had once been the capital of the glorious Tiantou Empire, witnessing the empire's rise and fall and the changing of eras.

Even twenty thousand years later, it remained one of the continent's foremost major cities, with a thriving economy and deep cultural roots.

The Red-Rank Mecha Phantom was terrifyingly fast, far surpassing even the fastest Soul Train.

The journey from Shrek City to distant Heaven Dou City took less than half a day.

Compared to Shrek City's prosperity, Heaven Dou City's first impression was one of accumulated history and ancient charm.

Most of the buildings lining its broad streets retained architectural styles from Ten Thousand Years Ago.

The entire city resembled a massive living museum, its air permeated with an elegant, timeless atmosphere.

For that reason, Heaven Dou City had also become one of the continent's famous tourist destinations, with visitors from all over arriving in an endless stream.

Walking along the Historic Street, Huo Yuhao curiously took in everything around him.

Yet he still had the main purpose of this trip on his mind and could not help looking up at Han Tianyi beside him.

"Teacher, are we going straight to see that Blacksmith Teacher?"

Han Tianyi smiled meaningfully and shook his head.

"Not yet. First, I need to take you to meet someone else."

"Someone else?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat puzzled, but he did not ask further and simply followed obediently.

Han Tianyi led Huo Yuhao through streets and alleys before finally stopping at a corner in the city center.

Before them stood a standalone two-story Ancient Small Building. Its style was old-fashioned, its exterior walls made of weathered gray-white stone and covered in lush ivy. It looked quite old, yet it had been kept exceptionally tidy.

Han Tianyi walked up to the tightly shut black wooden door of the small building, took out an exquisite Communication Soul Tool, and dialed a number.

Then he called out without ceremony, "I'm here! Open the door already!"

Not long after, a soft click sounded from inside, and the heavy black wooden door slowly opened inward.

A tall Middle-aged Man appeared behind the door.

He wore a simple dark gray outfit with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, exposing his well-muscled arms.

His gaze paused briefly on Han Tianyi's face before shifting to Huo Yuhao beside him, sizing him up from head to toe.

He stepped aside to make room for them and tersely said three words, "Come in."

Huo Yuhao followed behind Han Tianyi and entered the old two-story building.

The interior decor matched the understated exterior, if anything appearing even simpler.

There was almost no trace of any modern Soul Tools. It was as if time had stopped here, leaving it in the way of life from Ten Thousand Years Ago.

Huo Yuhao sat obediently beside Han Tianyi, but his eyes could not help secretly darting back and forth between Han Tianyi and Mu Ye.

He always felt that the atmosphere between these two... was a little strange.

At that moment, Han Tianyi spoke. Pointing at Mu Ye across from them, he formally introduced him, "Yuhao, this is Mu Ye, the current Body Sect Master."

The Body Sect Master?!

Huo Yuhao's heart jolted!

Han Tianyi looked at Mu Ye, but his words were directed at Huo Yuhao. "Those methods I previously taught you for tempering your body may have originated from the Body Sect, but in the end, they were merely scraps from the edges."

"Whether you can learn the true secret arts of the Body Sect now depends on whether your Martial Brother agrees."

Huo Yuhao abruptly turned his gaze toward Mu Ye, his eyes instantly bursting with intense desire.

Under Han Tianyi's guidance, his physical condition had already far surpassed that of Soul Masters his age. If he could obtain the true core secret arts of the Body Sect, his physique would certainly improve again.

The means to grow stronger was Huo Yuhao's greatest pursuit right now!

Feeling Huo Yuhao's blazing, pure gaze, Mu Ye's expression became even more complicated.

By all rights, Han Tianyi had long since left the Body Sect and joined the Spirit Pagoda.

According to the sect's Rules, he could even be considered a "traitor."

However, when Han Tianyi had left the sect back then, he had received the approval of his master, who was also the previous Body Sect Master.

Moreover, over the years, Mu Ye had often relied on Han Tianyi's position and connections in the Spirit Pagoda to facilitate his acquisition of Spirit Souls.

Thus, Mu Ye did not directly reject Han Tianyi's request. Instead, he said he would make his decision after seeing Huo Yuhao!

Mu Ye rose to his feet, his tall figure bringing an invisible sense of oppression.

He walked over to Huo Yuhao, looked down at him, and said flatly, "Stand up."

Huo Yuhao obeyed and immediately rose from the sofa.

Without another word, Mu Ye extended his large hands and began kneading and pressing various parts of Huo Yuhao's body.

His movements seemed casual, but they landed precisely on key areas such as Huo Yuhao's shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, back, and legs.

Huo Yuhao felt a scorching surge of Soul Power instantly penetrate his flesh, Bones and Muscles along with Mu Ye's fingers!

That Soul Power rapidly traveled through his body, as though it intended to uncover every secret hidden within him.

A moment later, Mu Ye withdrew his hands. He returned to his seat and sat down again, his expression still showing no visible ripples.

Yet Huo Yuhao caught the fleeting disappointment deep in Mu Ye's eyes.

His heart suddenly tightened!

Could it be that his physical condition had failed to satisfy this Body Sect Master?

Huo Yuhao immediately became anxious.

He did not know that Mu Ye's momentary disappointment was not because his body was not good enough.

On the contrary, Mu Ye's disappointment was born of regret.

He regretted that such an excellent prospect possessed a Spirit Type Body Martial Soul: Spirit Eyes.

If Huo Yuhao had awakened a physique-type Body Martial Soul, Mu Ye would have accepted him as a disciple without hesitation and taught him everything he knew.

But when it came to cultivating and developing a Spirit Type Body Martial Soul, who on the entire continent could compare to his Martial Uncle Han Tianyi?

Just as Huo Yuhao's heart churned with uncertainty and he thought his hopes had been dashed, Mu Ye spoke.

"Martial Uncle has conditioned him very well. His blood and vitality are abundant, his muscles are strong, his meridians are clear, and his foundation is extremely solid."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Huo Yuhao's little face filled with nervousness. A nearly imperceptible warmth flashed through his eyes.

"From now on, Martial Uncle, please personally pass the Body Sect's secret arts on to him."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao froze for a moment before overwhelming joy surged through him!

He hurriedly gave Mu Ye a solemn bow, his voice trembling with excitement. "Thank you, Martial Brother!"

Mu Ye nodded slightly, formally acknowledging his identity as Martial Brother.

From then on, Huo Yuhao was not only Leng Yaozhu of the Spirit Pagoda's disciple, but also considered one of the Body Sect's people!

A smile appeared on Han Tianyi's face. He had known that once his Martial Nephew understood Huo Yuhao's talent, he would never refuse.

With the matter settled, Han Tianyi continued, "There is one more thing I need to trouble you with."

Mu Ye turned his gaze toward him in inquiry.

"My disciple." Han Tianyi patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder. "For his sub-profession, he chose blacksmithing."

By this point, Mu Ye already understood.

His friendship with Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua was no secret before Martial Uncle Han Tianyi.

His gaze swept over Huo Yuhao again, and his assessing eyes took on another layer of meaning. "A Body Martial Soul does indeed possess a natural advantage on the path of blacksmithing. Spirit Eyes in particular are unmatched by others when it comes to sensing Metal Texture and controlling changes in temperature."

Without any further nonsense, Mu Ye rose directly to his feet. His tall body stirred a gust of wind. "Let's go. At this hour, he is most likely teaching at the Blacksmith Association."

Han Tianyi nodded and signaled for Huo Yuhao to follow.

The three of them filed out, leaving the old small building and stepping once again onto Heaven Dou City's Historic Street.

Following behind his two elders, Huo Yuhao could not help leaning slightly toward Han Tianyi beside him and asking in a low voice, "Teacher, who exactly is that Senior... Zhen Hua?"

He had only recently begun learning blacksmithing and knew little about the figures in the blacksmithing world.
