Within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, there is a place sealed off by continuous heavy snow, with treacherous terrain.

This place is a remote pass rarely visited by people; even Soul Beast would not choose to live in such barren land.

However, many powerful Soul Master, who are capable of dominating a region or even establishing their own sects, are secretly stationed here.

After bypassing the sentries guarded by Soul Sage, not even a Titled Douluo stationed there to provide support noticed anything amiss.

This is the location of the hidden sect, the Body Sect.

After entering the pass, the terrain was initially extremely narrow, but then it suddenly opened up.

Surprisingly, in this snow-covered mountain area, there was a valley full of spiritual energy, where spring was in full bloom.

Most of the people they encountered along the way were Soul Master with cultivation, and there were very few ordinary people.

Inside the main hall of the Body Sect, unlike the others along the way, Du Busi, the current Body Douluo and Du Busi Body Sect Leader of the Body Sect, sensed an unusual aura nearby.

You must know that he is the Super Douluo who is closest to the Limit Douluo level on the Douluo Continent. In terms of cultivation, he is even superior to Xuan Zi of the Shrek Academy. Who dares to be presumptuous in his Body Sect?

"I didn't expect that you Dragon God Douluo, are still alive."

For some reason, many of the powerful figures of the Body Sect are not currently stationed in the sect, so the main hall of the Body Sect appears particularly deserted at this time.

At that moment, the Body Sect Leader, Du Busi, snorted coldly and looked at the hunched old man who slowly walked into the main hall. Although he did not hide his figure, he isolated himself with his Soul Power so that no one would notice him.

Although the old man appeared to be frail and old, with a hunched back that seemed ready to die at any moment, the aura emanating from him was still overwhelming that of Du Busi. This Limit Douluo level cultivation was naturally that of Dragon God Douluo Mu En.

"Hmph, I wonder what brings Dragon God Douluo to my Body Sect? My Body Sect has no good tea to serve you, my esteemed guest."

"Moreover, my Body Sect has been keeping its promise and has not provoked anyone from the Shrek Academy, nor has it gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, has it?"

Although the Body Sect has begun to gradually allow its disciples to leave the sect in order to find opportunities to re-emerge due to its agreement with the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family and Du Busi's own plans.

However, to be on the safe side, they usually keep a low profile and do not directly provoke Shrek Academy. In addition, Huo Yuhao is also representing Shrek Academy as Reserve Team this time.

However, Huo Yuhao only revealed his Martial Soul in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, without exposing any other special qualities. Although he was noticed by the Body Sect, after the report was submitted, the Body Sect did not plan to directly snatch him away.

Instead, they planned to send their disciples to find an opportunity to contact Huo Yuhao within the Shrek Academy, ideally after Huo Yuhao graduated from the Outer Court of the Shrek Academy, so that they could legitimately recruit him.

After all, a Soul Master whose Martial Soul is an important part like the eyes, and is also Spiritual Attribute, and who is suspected of having an additional Brain as a Martial Soul, is extremely rare in the Body Sect and is definitely worth cultivating.

Moreover, students graduating from the Shrek Academy's Outer Court are different from those graduating from the Shrek Academy's Inner Court. They do not have such a deep bond with Shrek. As long as you build a good relationship with them before graduation, you can definitely win them over.

After all, Shrek Academy's Outer Court is essentially just an academy and cannot control the students' departure or retention.

However, Mu En shook his head and did not react to Du Bu Si's Du Busi: "I have come here not to cause trouble for your Body Sect, but to discuss a deal with a friend from the Body Sect."

"A deal? What is there for my Body Sect to discuss with your Shrek Academy? And where does the word 'friend' come from? My Body Sect has no friends with the Dragon God Douluo!"

Du Busi sneered. He knew that his brother had died at the hands of Mu En, although this was an agreement reached by both sides beforehand.

He originally thought that Mu En should have perished together with his brother, but unexpectedly Mu En survived by chance and even broke through to the level of the Level 99 Limit Douluo.

Even so, he wasn't afraid of Mu En, after all, Mu En was much older than him.

Looking at Mu En's appearance, it's clear that he was affected by the deadly poison that was the source of the previous Body Douluo Du Bisou.

Even if Mu En can preserve the combat power of Limit Douluo, it is unknown how long he can fight as his Great Limit is about to end.

Although Du Busi wasn't entirely confident he could defeat Mu En, he was still confident in a protracted battle, especially since this was the Body Sect, his territory.

"The Sun Moon Empire has been making frequent moves lately, and your Body Sect is also quite restless on the continent."

Upon hearing this, Du Busi did not refute it, because there was no point in refutating it. Since Mu En could say this, he must have solid evidence.

But even if he's restless, so what? When the previous generation 'Body Douluo, Du Bisou, challenged Mu En, he swore that if the Body Sect was defeated, he would behave himself for a hundred years and not affect the continental order maintained by the Shrek Academy.

However, now that Mu En is nearing the Great Limit, Shrek is facing a generational gap, and the time for the oath is also about to expire, so what if the Body Sect goes a little too far? Does Shrek Academy dare to start a war with them?

However, Mu En's next words made Du Busi frown. "Your Body Sect should be cooperating with the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family, right?"

"You've been to Heaven Dou City?" Du Busi asked in return.

"Indeed, the Sun Moon Empire has been making moves in recent years. Even I am very wary of their Soul Tool. Therefore, I have come here this time to form an alliance with your Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire in advance to make preparations."

"Naturally, we should first go to Heaven Dou City to investigate the current state of the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family and see if the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire is a spineless dog who can bow down and beg for mercy to the Sun Moon Empire and sell out his country for personal gain, or a wise and benevolent ruler."

"However, in my opinion, although this emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire cannot be called a wise ruler, he is not an incompetent emperor either."

Du Busi laughed loudly, then said, "It's not that simple, is it? Dragon God Douluo, I'm afraid you're worried that you won't be able to hold on Great Limit the day your time comes, so you're trying to find another way out for your Shrek Academy."

"After all, the news of the Shrek Academy's defeat in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament and the fall of its mythical status has spread like wildfire throughout the continent, and even my Body Sect knows about it."

"Even if the Sun Moon Empire originally held some reverence for your Shrek Academy, now that reverence has faded, what remains is probably only the national hatred from thousands of years ago, when we were defeated because of the Shrek Academy's obstruction."

Mu En did not deny it, but instead let out a long sigh, "Then how is the situation of your Body Sect any different from that of my Shrek Academy?"

"You are so confident in your unique Body Martial Soul, and even more powerful after the Martial Soul Second Awakening, that you completely disdain to learn about Soul Tool. This is how the upper class sets an example, and that is why you are not clear about them."

"However, even I, Limit Douluo at my peak, would have to be wary of the Soul Tool developed by the Sun Moon Empire today."

"Moreover, because Shrek Academy has suppressed the Evil Soul Master that have appeared in the original three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent in recent years, a large number of Evil Soul Master have poured into the Sun Moon Empire and gone into hiding."

"Perhaps quite a few Evil Soul Master have established some kind of cooperative relationship with the Sun Moon Empire. When that time comes, what will happen when Evil Soul Master are combined with Soul Tool?"

"If the day of all-out war really comes, and you have no allies on the Douluo Continent, how will your Body Sect survive?"

Du Busi frowned and pondered. If it were an ordinary person, he would naturally not believe it without seeing it with his own eyes. In his opinion, how could a so-called Soul Tool be as powerful as the Body Martial Soul?

However, the person in front of him was Mu En, the master of the Sea God Pavilion, the Dragon God Douluo Mu En. Even as an opponent, he still had to show him some respect.

Such people may spout nonsense based on their own perspectives, but the existence of Soul Tool does not need to be embellished.

Moreover, the matter of Evil Soul Master that Mu En mentioned is indeed a hidden danger. Evil Soul Master' strength progresses at a rapid pace. What's even more bizarre is that even if they reach a higher level, as long as they can break through, their combat Evil Soul Master will still be formidable.

If combined with the Soul Tool that Mu En mentioned, then it is indeed something to be wary of.

"Moreover, I have come here with sincerity this time." Mu En did not continue to talk about Soul Tool and Evil Soul Master. He had already given a reason, Du Busi would naturally find a way to verify it himself afterward.

Now it's time to get down to business. While Du Busi was thinking, Mu En continued, "Du Busi, do you want a disciple?"

"Disciple, what do you mean?" Du Busi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"When Shrek Academy participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament this time, there was a student named Huo Yuhao in our Reserve Team. His Martial Soul is the Spirit Eyes, which is his Body Martial Soul. I'm sure you all know this."

"However, it may be somewhat different from the information you have. I only recently realized that this student is extraordinary."

"His Body Martial Soul has now completed its Secondary Awakening through independent development, and you should know that this was done without the help of anyone else."

You should know better than I how significant this matter is.

Upon hearing this, Du Busi's eyes widened. "What did you say? Is this true?"

Compared to Xuan Zi, who only has a superficial understanding, Mu En has a much deeper understanding of the Body Sect, and therefore understands better how amazing Huo Yuhao's value is in the Body Martial Soul.

The spontaneous Secondary Awakening of Huo Yuhao's Body Martial Soul can only mean two things: either Huo Yuhao was extremely lucky and successfully awakened by chance, or Huo Yuhao is exceptionally talented and his Martial Soul is of extraordinary quality.

However, regardless of the method, Soul Master who successfully Martial Soul Second Awakening are targets that the Body Sect must recruit and bring under its wing.

The difference in importance placed on the Body Sect between a successful and incomplete Secondary Awakening of one's Body Sect Martial Soul Second Awakening is like night and day.

Body Martial Soul capable of undergoing Secondary Awakening can at least achieve a silver-level awakening after becoming Titled Douluo. Body Martial Soul has been independently developed and undergone Secondary Awakening can at the very least become a Golden-tier Second Awakening Super Douluo with a second awakening.

"Indeed, this is the sincerity of the Shrek Academy. If you are willing to form an alliance with the Shrek Academy to deal with the possible war launched by the Sun Moon Empire, then Shrek Academy will act as a go-between to make this disciple willingly join your Body Sect."

"You should know that in our Shrek Academy, there has never been a student who Martial Soul Second Awakening. If we are not willing to let go, this is also a very important research topic and a future pillar that we can cultivate."

"Get out of here! What do you Shrek people know? It would be a real disaster if such a genius fell into your hands."

"Alright, I'll go with you to the Shrek Academy and see for myself whether Huo Yuhao is as talented as you say."

Mu En shook his head. "Du Busi, we're all grown up now. You should understand what I mean. If you're not willing, then we can just part ways."

"For the Shrek Academy, even if we cannot form an alliance with the Body Sect, we can still try to win over other forces that originally belonged to the three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent."

Du Busi said, "If we're going to form an alliance, then so be it. But we'll only be aligned in our interests when it comes to dealing with the Sun Moon Empire. Otherwise, we'll each mind our own business and not interfere with each other."

"Also, when are you going to let me see Huo Yuhao? You're not planning to let him stay at the Shrek Academy until he graduates, are you? By then, what's the point of training him anymore!"

Mu En forced a smile onto his old face, "The alliance relationship goes without saying, but this student is an orphan. After enrolling, he also joined a sect, which was the Tang Sect, the number one sect on the continent before."

"Although the Tang Sect has been defeated, if we want them to switch sects, we still need to carefully calculate the compensation to their original sects, as well as the resources that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect have invested in and nurtured them over the years."

Looking at Mu En, who seemed to have no Du Busi, Du Busi's eyes bulged with veins. At the same time, he also knew that the so-called Tang Sect, the former number one sect on the continent, had even lost its own sect territory and was just an empty shell.

But even this is something he has to talk about. The reason why Mu En is so shameless is that he still wants to get more benefits for Shrek. It seems that his time is really running out.

After a long time, Mu En finally left satisfied, leaving only Du Delia standing there with his teeth Du Busi in the main hall of the Body Sect.

Although the conditions offered will only be fulfilled after Huo Yuhao's potential is confirmed, even after they are fulfilled, it will still be a considerable expense for the Body Sect, enough to make Du Busi feel the pinch.
