Peerless Tang Sect truly has no beginner's luck at all!

Inside the forest, two figures sat roasting a massive spirit beast. Among them was a child who looked to be eight or nine years old, though his face appeared mature, his gaze sharp, and his aura overbearing. He was currently seasoning the roasting meat.

"Sect Master, I feel that is enough seasoning." Golden Body Douluo reminded the youth.

This youth was none other than the current Sect Master of the Body Sect of the Heaven Dou Empire, Du Busi!

Hearing this, Du Busi set down the seasoning and nodded with satisfaction: "The meat roasted this way will definitely be delicious."

Snap!

The sound of a twig being crushed instantly drew the attention of Du Busi and Golden Body Douluo. They looked over in unison to see a genuine six-year-old child walking out, his eyes fixed intently on the meat they were roasting.

"Food!" Seeing the roasted meat, Lin Rui was so excited he wanted to rush forward, but upon noticing the two people in front of the meat, he instantly dared not move.

This is too coincidental!

To think I would actually run into Du Busi and Golden Body Douluo of the Body Sect. Is this not too coincidental?

Du Busi and Golden Body Douluo looked at the child before them and exchanged a glance; they naturally realized that this child must have been starving for several days.

Just as Lin Rui was wondering how to ask these two big shots for food, Du Busi spoke first: "Kid, come here."

Lin Rui immediately obeyed and walked over.

Du Busi gestured for him to sit beside him and asked: "Little one, how did you come to this forest all by yourself?"

"That... I'm an orphan, and I've been starving for several days. Could you give me some food?" Lin Rui replied with a pitiful look. He was truly starving; if he hadn't been using his Authority of Life to maintain his physical state these past few days, he would have fainted long ago.

Looking at the child who was indeed starving but showed no symptoms of weakness, Du Busi frowned slightly. He tore off a piece of roasted leg meat, handed it to Lin Rui, and asked: "Little one, what is your martial soul?"

Based on his current judgment, the child before him was around six years old and should have already awakened his martial soul.

Lin Rui took the roasted meat and took a bite, feeling his entire body liberated and redeemed. It was truly delicious.

Seeing this, Du Busi was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Lin Rui to finish the meat.

Soon, Lin Rui finished the meat in his hand, feeling somewhat unsatisfied, and his gaze could not help but linger on the remaining roasted meat.

Seeing Lin Rui's gaze, Golden Body Douluo said: "Little one, you can't be so greedy. This is all for me and..."

Du Busi immediately waved his hand to interrupt Golden Body Douluo, his gaze fixed on Lin Rui: "Little one, you haven't answered my question yet."

"If I answer, can I still eat?"

"Yes."

"I haven't awakened my martial soul yet." Lin Rui replied immediately.

In the era of the Peerless Tang Sect, where would one find the luxury of a free martial soul awakening? You either became a slave or paid ten Gold Soul Coins for the chance to awaken your martial soul.

It could be said that without Martial Soul Hall, the Peerless Tang Sect had absolutely no beginner benefits at all. He really couldn't understand why those commoners were still praising Tang San.

Your room for advancement has been completely blocked by your great Sea God, yet you still praise him, what for!

Hearing this, Du Busi tore off another piece of leg meat and handed it to Lin Rui: "Eat, child."

This time, Du Busi was not just fulfilling his promise; he was also observing, staring intently at the youth before him. He felt there was something unusual about this boy.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, that piece of leg meat was eaten clean, and Lin Rui looked at Du Busi again: "That..."

Du Busi said nothing and tore off another piece of front leg meat for Lin Rui.

Golden Body Douluo was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't this the food for him and the Sect Master for lunch?

Why give it all to the child in front of them? What would he and the Sect Master eat for lunch today?

Du Busi paid no attention to Golden Body Douluo, his eyes fixed on Lin Rui. No matter how hungry a six-year-old child was, two pieces of meat that large should have been enough to satisfy him, but this child was like a bottomless pit, consuming the food in no time.

Four minutes later, the third leg had been eaten clean by Lin Rui.

Lin Rui was not full, but he felt embarrassed to ask for more: "That..."

"Still want to eat?"

"Ah?" Although Lin Rui didn't know why Du Busi suddenly asked this, since he asked, he nodded directly: "Yes!"

Seeing this, Du Busi placed the entire roasted spirit beast in front of Lin Rui: "Eat it all."

He thought for a moment and added: "You must finish it all; you cannot waste it."

Seeing this, Golden Body Douluo: "?"

No, Sect Master, since when did you become so protective of children?

Lin Rui stared at the entire spirit beast in front of him, instantly drooling, his eyes shining. He looked at Du Busi and said: "You really are a good person!"

Then, without another word, he began to eat. The speed could not be called fast; it was comparable to a Taotie feeding. No, wait, even that idiot Xuan Zi couldn't eat like this.

Du Busi could be certain that his rival Xuan Zi could not eat as much as this six-year-old child.

Ten minutes later, Golden Body Douluo was dumbfounded by the scene before him. The spirit beast was reduced to a pile of bones, and Lin Rui was lying there with a bulging belly, murmuring: "So full, really so full!"

At this moment, he also understood the Sect Master's intention. There was only one reason for someone to be able to eat this much, and that was...

"Sect Master!" Golden Body Douluo looked at Du Busi with an incredibly serious expression, as if confirming something.

Du Busi nodded and asked: "Do you have the item?"

"I do."

"Good, awaken this little guy."

Du Busi immediately issued the order, his gaze locked firmly onto Lin Rui. If he wasn't mistaken, this little guy's Martial Soul was likely a Big Stomach. Truly, heaven was helping the Body Sect; he had just come out to roast some meat and ended up encountering one of his own.

This meat wouldn't be given in vain!

Golden Body Douluo immediately took out the Martial Soul awakening tools. At this moment, the look he gave Lin Rui was exceptionally affectionate; as long as it was a Body Martial Soul, it was family to the Body Sect.

He approached Lin Rui and said, "Little guy, how about I awaken your Martial Soul for you?"

Lin Rui, who had been preparing to doze off, immediately tried to sit up upon hearing this, but he was so full that he couldn't move at all.

Seeing this, Golden Body Douluo found it somewhat amusing. He immediately helped him up and said, "Relax, little guy, I'm going to awaken your Martial Soul."

Lin Rui nodded; this was exactly what he needed!

He had been wondering where to go to awaken his Martial Soul, never expecting these two uncles from the Body Sect to do it for him. He wondered what his Life Attribute Martial Soul would turn out to be.

Golden Body Douluo began the awakening process, but he soon sensed something was wrong. His soul power was being frantically absorbed by the boy. Realizing this, he immediately looked at Du Busi, "Sect Master, this little guy's Martial Soul is extraordinary, come help me quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Du Busi immediately stepped forward and placed a hand on Golden Body Douluo's shoulder. In an instant, he understood what Golden Body Douluo meant, as his own soul power was also being drained at a frantic pace.

No, it wasn't right. It was one thing for this kid to be a Taotie, but could his Martial Soul be a Taotie as well?
