Inside the main hall of the Body Sect.

A burly old man was buried deep in a mountain of sect administrative scrolls.

Golden Body Douluo, Jin Peng.

A rank 95 Super Douluo, his Martial Soul was one of the rarest and most powerful among Body Martial Souls—the Torso!

As the "chief steward" of the Body Sect, he was the one who held everything together whenever Du Busi, that hands-off sect master, was in seclusion or out causing trouble.

"Making such a racket, have you no sense of decorum?!"

Hearing the unbridled clamor of the disciples outside, Jin Peng's brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown.

He set down his vermilion brush and, carrying a heavy, imposing aura that commanded respect without anger, strode out of the main hall.

"Elder Jin! Great news!"

A duty disciple rushed into the side hall in a flurry, his tone unable to hide his excitement.

"A young man has arrived at the gates, saying he came by reputation to join our Body Sect!"

"The most important thing is... his Martial Soul is a Body Martial Soul!"

"Oh? A Body Martial Soul?!"

The previously annoyed Jin Peng sprang up at these words, his murky, half-lidded eyes instantly erupting with a sharp glint.

"Hahahaha! Heaven bless our Body Sect! This is a rare find indeed!"

Jin Peng's expression shifted instantly, his face crinkling into a wide, joyful smile.

"Quick! Bring him in! Do not slight a future sect brother!"

A moment later.

Led by the disciple, Su Chen walked into the main hall with Zhang Lexuan.

Jin Peng's gaze fell upon Su Chen like a hawk the moment he entered.

Vibrant blood energy, exceptional bone structure—he was truly a top-tier prospect for a Body Martial Soul!

The more Jin Peng looked, the more satisfied he became. Just as he was about to offer some praise, his gaze inadvertently swept over the gentle woman behind Su Chen.

The next second, the smile on Jin Peng's face froze.

"Oh? Someone from Shrek Academy."

Jin Peng narrowed his eyes, a sharp light flashing through his murky pupils.

He looked Zhang Lexuan up and down, a meaningful curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Zhang Lexuan... I have heard a thing or two about you."

"The eldest senior sister of the Shrek inner court, hailed as the most talented disciple in Shrek's last three thousand years, already a Soul Douluo at such a young age."

Having said that, Jin Peng let out a soft huff and retracted his pressure.

Although the Body Sect and Shrek Academy had long-standing grievances.

As a senior who had made a name for himself long ago, he, Jin Peng, would not stoop so low as to bully a young girl.

Moreover, since Zhang Lexuan was walking so closely with this child, their relationship was likely deep.

Therefore, he did not ask further.

Immediately, his gaze passed over Zhang Lexuan and landed on you.

His previously cold and rigid expression melted instantly, his tone becoming exceptionally soft, even carrying a hint of coaxing:

"Child, you just said... you awakened a Body Martial Soul?"

"Come, release it and let me see. If it is true, then you can walk sideways across the Douluo Continent from now on, and I will personally guarantee it!"

Jin Peng's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Body Martial Souls were extremely rare, and each one was a precious treasure to the sect. If he had truly found a good seedling, it would be a massive contribution!

You nodded without hesitation.

With a thought, the air suddenly distorted!

Hum—!

A crimson phantom suddenly emerged behind you!

King Crimson!

To be precise, it was an adult version of Su Chen, wearing crimson armor with a strange, vertical eye on its forehead.

Even without any soul rings attached, the domineering and eerie aura emanating from the depths of the Martial Soul could not be concealed!

Just by looking at it, Jin Peng's eyes went wide!

"This... this is..."

As an old monster who had been immersed in Body Martial Souls for many years, he could clearly feel the quality of this Martial Soul—top-tier! An absolutely top-tier Body Martial Soul!

A 99% rarity!

It is even slightly more bizarre than the sect master's own Martial Soul!

Elder Jin felt a surge of wild joy in his heart, so excited that his beard was trembling.

But he quickly seemed to think of something, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and asked tentatively:

"Child, tell me, what is your name?"

"Su Chen."

You slowly spat out the two words, neither humble nor pushy.

"Su Chen... Su Chen..."

Elder Jin chewed on the name repeatedly, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

He took a deep breath, stared fixedly into your eyes, and asked the final, crucial question:

"Do you... happen to have another Martial Soul?"

Su Chen: "???"

You were stunned for a moment, a string of question marks popping up in your mind.

What the hell? Is this old man cheating?

Or did he peek at my script?

Although you were complaining internally, you still nodded honestly on the surface:

"Yes."

"Hahahaha! Good! Very good!"

Having received a definitive answer, Elder Jin could finally no longer hold back and looked up to the sky, laughing heartily; the sound of his laughter shook the surrounding leaves, causing them to rustle down.

Everything matches up!

The name matches, the top-tier Body Martial Soul matches, and the twin Martial Souls match too!

Several months ago, before the sect master Du Busi went into seclusion, he had observed the celestial phenomena at night and specifically instructed: if you encounter a youth named Su Chen, you must bring him back to the sect immediately!

The sect master had once said: this child carries great fortune and is the future hope of the Body Sect, perhaps even... the key to leading the Body Sect to surpass Shrek!

I never expected to actually run into him today!

It really is better to be early than to be lucky!

Elder Jin coughed lightly, breaking the silence.

This Title Douluo, who was usually stern and humorless, now had a face full of kind smiles, as if he were looking at his own long-lost grandson.

"Child, from this day forward, you are a member of our Body Sect! Welcome to our... uh, united and loving family!"

When he said the words "united and loving," even Elder Jin felt a bit insincere; after all, those rough men of the Body Sect really had nothing to do with those words.

"From now on, you can just call me Elder Jin."

"Elder Jin."

Su Chen nodded slightly, his expression calm, as if he had anticipated all of this long ago.

The treatment that followed was simply imperial-grade.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all maxed out! Even the color of the bedsheets was personally selected by Elder Jin.

This meticulous care made Su Chen sigh: the Body Sect's reputation for protecting their own was truly well-deserved.

After everything was settled, Elder Jin patted Su Chen on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"Child, treat this place like your own home. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me at any time. I have already notified the sect master, and I imagine the old man..."

BOOM--!

Before Elder Jin could finish his sentence, a terrifying aura, vast as the sea, instantly enveloped the entire mountaintop!

A gale howled, and the door was rudely pushed open.

A dark green figure descended like a meteorite, landing directly in front of Su Chen!

The person who arrived was burly, exuding a suffocating, overbearing aura.

It was none other than the Body Sect master, the level 98 Super Douluo, Du Busi!

Du Busi stared fixedly at Su Chen's face, and those eyes, which had been cloudy just moments ago, now erupted with unprecedented brilliance!

When he saw Su Chen's iconic features and the heroic spirit between his brows—not yet awakened but already showing signs of its potential—his heart was filled with wild joy!

"Like! It's so like him!"

"This pressure, this face... it can't be wrong!"

Du Busi was trembling with excitement.

That incredibly realistic dream from a year ago was actually true!

In the dream, he saw the future of the Body Sect, saw a peerless monster who stepped on the Beast God Di Tian and punched the Clear Sky Sect's Niu Tian!

Gold-grade Second Awakening, ransacking Mingde Hall, the Snow Empress sacrificing herself, a 17-year-old Limit Douluo, condensing Three Soul Cores...

The man who would lead the Body Sect to its peak, and even break the shackles of the God Realm...

He has returned! Everything has returned!

The pride of the Body Sect, my precious disciple, I have finally waited for you!
