Joining the Body Sect, the Enthusiastic Vina

At this moment...

Upon hearing Vina's words, Ning Feng's eyes lit up.

Vina.

She was not only a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire but also a disciple of the Body Sect!

So, after realizing this, Ning Feng felt a sudden sense of delight.

Because this was indeed a coincidence, but it was a coincidence that made him feel at ease.

He had originally been worrying about how to make contact with the Body Sect, but now, it seemed he didn't need to worry anymore.

He could directly pull on Vina's thread and join the Body Sect through her.

Therefore, at this moment, he said directly to Vina: "My name is Ning Feng, the son of the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Vina was stunned upon hearing this.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Isn't the inherited martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda? Is yours a mutated martial soul?"

Ning Feng had been waiting for her to ask this, so he replied frankly.

"That's right, my martial soul is a mutated Body Martial Soul."

Since Vina's identity had been confirmed, there was no need to be evasive.

Because Ning Feng knew the rules of the Body Sect very well; displaying the traits of a Body Martial Soul was the best stepping stone.

On the other side, Vina obtained the answer she wanted, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

She stepped forward, her tone becoming even more cordial: "Young Master Ning Feng, have you ever heard of the Body Sect?"

Ning Feng nodded without hesitation: "I have. To be honest, the reason I left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect this time is precisely because I want to join the Body Sect."

After saying this, Ning Feng observed Vina's reaction.

And he soon discovered that the smile on Vina's face became even brighter as she said with great warmth:

"Oh my, what a coincidence?"

"To be honest, I am also a disciple of the Body Sect."

"My martial soul is the Brain. Since you and I are fated, and you have the intention to join our Body Sect, then this matter is easy to handle."

"If you don't mind, after we finish our business here, you can return to the Body Sect with me, and I can be your guide."

"That is naturally something I could only wish for," Ning Feng said, cupping his hands.

As their conversation reached this point, the atmosphere had undergone a earth-shaking change.

The previous probing, with the appearance of the common bond of the "Body Sect," quickly transformed into a tacit understanding of a community of interests.

Vina showed great enthusiasm toward him.

Because the style of the Body Sect was exactly like this; they were very welcoming to all possessors of Body Martial Souls.

Furthermore, there was another point: Vina was also a princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Body Sect was the protector sect of the Heaven Dou Empire, so joining the Body Sect was effectively half a foot into the royal family as well.

Therefore, at this moment, Vina became increasingly enthusiastic toward Ning Feng.

Even when she learned that Ning Feng was here to hunt for his third soul ring, she even took the initiative to propose:

"Since you are now a disciple of our Body Sect, we should naturally help each other."

"We have plenty of manpower here, and our search efficiency is high. Let's just help you look for a soul beast, and once you find a soul ring you are satisfied with, we will return to the sect together."

Ning Feng nodded slightly; he had no reason to refuse such a labor-saving offer.

Just then, the middle-aged soul master who had been standing behind Vina, maintaining a high level of vigilance, coughed softly and reminded:

"Princess, you should finish off this soul beast first. The scent of blood here is heavy, and if we delay too long, it is easy to attract other powerful soul beasts. It won't be too late to chat with Young Master Ning Feng after you absorb the soul ring."

Vina then remembered the important task and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

She turned and walked toward the soul beast, efficiently delivering the final blow, then sat cross-legged, preparing to begin absorbing the soul ring.

Before starting, Vina did not forget to turn her head and instruct Mu Xue, who was by her side: "Mu Xue, you chat more with Young Master Ning Feng and let him understand the situation of the sect better."

Mu Xue nodded, accepted the order, and walked to Ning Feng's side.

Because of Vina's instruction, Mu Xue's attitude toward Ning Feng was not cold; it even carried a sense of politeness and a desire to make an acquaintance.

"Young Master Ning Feng, the sect is located near Tiandou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, which is the core of the Body Sect. Our sect's cultivation method focuses on developing one's own potential without relying on external objects..."

Mu Xue's voice was soft, yet she was constantly introducing the affairs of the Body Sect to Ning Feng.

Ning Feng listened quietly.

This information was useful to him.

He needed to understand the power structure, cultivation system, and current core missions of the Body Sect; this intelligence was the key to his future standing.

Time passed minute by minute.

An hour later, a deep yellow light lit up on Vina's body, which then turned into a stream of light and merged into her body.

She slowly opened her eyes, the fluctuations of soul power on her body significantly stronger than before; it was clear she had succeeded in the absorption, and her cultivation had broken through to level thirty-one.

Seeing this, Ning Feng stepped forward and cupped his hands, his tone sincere: "Congratulations, Princess Vina. A level thirty-one Soul Elder—with efficiency like this, you are truly worthy of being a top disciple of the Body Sect."

Vina stood up and retracted her soul power, but upon hearing this, she shook her head: "You flatter me, Young Master Ning. Compared to you, my cultivation is nothing. I observed your movements earlier and realized you already possess two soul rings; since you are now planning to obtain another, you must also be at level thirty. In terms of age, you are even two years younger than me. Talent like that is what truly makes one feel ashamed."

Ning Feng smiled modestly: "Princess Vina is too kind."

"Just call me Vina." Vina looked into Ning Feng's eyes, her tone losing a bit of its distance: "Within the sect, we don't stand on such empty formalities; constantly being called Princess does feel a bit distant."

"Alright, Vina." Ning Feng did not stand on ceremony and changed his address immediately.

After resting for a moment, the four of them continued on their way.

With the addition of Vina's group, the efficiency of searching for soul beasts had indeed improved significantly.

The middle-aged soul master clearly possessed strong scouting abilities; he was always able to keenly avoid soul beasts whose cultivation levels were unsuitable for them, while simultaneously quickly filtering out targets with potential.

This feeling of "paid" searching made Ning Feng feel quite good.

Just as they pushed through a patch of dense shrubbery and arrived at a low-lying rocky area, Ning Feng's footsteps suddenly came to a halt.

That is...

A soul beast with a massive frame, earth-yellow fur, and a heavy aura of soul power radiating from its body.

At this moment, it was facing away from them, gnawing on the roots of a rare mineral, making strange crunching sounds.

Upon seeing this, the frequency of Ning Feng's heartbeat quickened slightly.

All that effort to find it, and now it appears without any trouble at all.

He immediately stopped and signaled to Vina beside him.

Mountain-Moving Ape!

Their target had appeared.
