Even for the members of the Body Sect, who have always feared nothing under the heavens, the thought of a god-level powerhouse from ten thousand years ago lurking in some corner beyond the sky, manipulating the many affairs of this world, still sent a chill down their spines.
Especially since that existence was incredibly despicable and possessed no moral bottom line!
Unlike Du Busi and his cohorts, the people of Shrek Academy were tense to the point of breaking. Even Bei Bei cast a complex gaze toward Huo Yuhao, who stood to the side.
Previously, even if Huo Yuhao had joined other factions—whether it was the Mysterious Underworld Sect, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the White Tiger Duke Mansion, or even the Star Luo Empire—they were all, in essence, allies of Shrek Academy, or even within its sphere of influence.
However, joining the Body Sect was a different matter entirely. The Body Sect could absolutely be considered a formidable enemy of Shrek Academy, the current number one sect on the entire Douluo Continent in terms of public standing. The long-hidden Clear Sky Sect simply could not compare to the Body Sect.
In the past, the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy and the Body Sect had engaged in countless fierce battles. Back then, the Sea God Pavilion Master Mu En had fought the previous Body Sect leader Du Busi until one was dead and the other severely injured.
To this day, the dignified Limit Douluo Mu En was still confined to a wheelchair, all thanks to the former leader of the Body Sect. Bei Bei was well aware of these events.
If the Body Sect truly obtained a peerless successor and flourished from this point on, it would be an absolute disaster for Shrek Academy—one that would be no less severe than the Sun Moon Empire unifying the continent!
However, Bei Bei only pondered for a moment before choosing not to launch a sneak attack on the youth beside him at this time. After all, the person was a Child of Destiny; how could he be so easily taken down?
Not to mention, he had just received so many rewards from the Sky Screen; it would be disastrous if he failed to win. If he were to fail, he feared that Xiao Ya would also be dragged into danger.
Meanwhile, inside Shrek Academy, within the Sea God Pavilion, there was already a flurry of discussion and a murderous atmosphere.
"Hmph, no matter what, we cannot let this situation come to pass. We cannot allow such a genius to join the Body Sect!"
An elder of the Sea God Pavilion slammed the table and roared.
"That's right. The Body Sect has always acted in mysterious and lawless ways, giving us headaches for years. If they cultivate another super powerhouse even more formidable than that old geezer Du Busi, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Our trouble would be far too great!"
Another elder looked at the Sky Screen with worry and said in a deep voice.
"Sigh, everyone, let's not be too pessimistic. Let's watch first. The Body Sect has always been eccentric; in truth, we don't even know what they are like toward their own members internally."
Yan Shaozhe coughed lightly, attempting to mediate the situation.
"What if this Huo Yuhao is actually having a miserable time in the Body Sect? Can the Body Sect really be sure to unearth his potential?"
"As the continent's number one academy, we old fellows of the Sea God Pavilion should still have a bit more confidence in the academy!"
Yan Shaozhe said while stroking his beard.
The several elders cast indifferent glances at Yan Shaozhe. Some of those words—did you even believe them yourself when you said them?
One could only say, he was truly worthy of being the old fox who succeeded the true teachings of Mu En and stood as the future successor of the Sea God Pavilion!
On the Sky Screen, the scene continued to shift. Shortly after a young Huo Yuhao left the Star Dou Great Forest, he encountered a group of bandits on the roadside.
Huo Yuhao brandished the White Tiger Dagger, barely managing to deal with two or three bandits, but he soon fell into a desperate situation. At that moment, a mysterious and powerful Soul Grand Master suddenly appeared, killing all dozen or so bandits in a few moves, with seven full soul rings shining on his body.
"Th-thank you, senior, for saving me!"
The Spirit Eye youth panted, sheathed the blood-stained White Tiger Dagger, and looked gratefully at the mysterious senior whose face was covered.
This senior's techniques were also miraculous. Before he could even understand what the senior's martial soul was, he saw the man's palm grow massive, swatting them one by one like flies. In just a few strikes, he had pounded the group of bandits into pulp on the road.
"Little friend, tell your uncle. What is your martial soul?"
The mysterious powerhouse watched Huo Yuhao with a pair of bright eyes, his voice slightly hoarse as he asked.
"My martial soul is... an eye."
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment before answering.
"An eye? Good, good, good."
As if confirming something, the man's gaze suddenly lit up. He circled around Huo Yuhao with a "whoosh," as if he had seen some rare treasure.
"Child, do you know who we are? Do you know what my martial soul is?"
The man seemed to be in a very good mood, speaking with a chuckle.
"I don't know. Your strength is perhaps too great; I cannot tell what your martial soul is..."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, looking somewhat bewildered.
"Haha! To tell you the truth, our martial souls are actually of the same type!"
The man laughed heartily. As he said this, his voice carried a hint of pride.
"Ah? This, how can that be? My martial soul is of the spirit type, while you, senior..."
Huo Yuhao was extremely surprised. He had clearly seen that this senior's combat style was simple and brutal. He had killed those bandits with a single slap each!
He even felt a bit envious of such a combat style. His Soul Shock, despite being called a million-year soul skill, could actually only target one person at a time and had many limitations.
"Haha, that is where you don't understand. To tell you the truth, my martial soul is a 'palm'!"
The man smiled and extended his palm toward Huo Yuhao, looking quite smug.
"A palm?"
Huo Yuhao could not help but be astonished. It was his first time hearing of such a martial soul.
"That's right. Haven't you noticed the commonality? My martial soul is my own palm, and your martial soul is your own eye. Our martial souls are both parts of our own bodies. This type of martial soul is called a Body Martial Soul!"
The man said with a smile. Huo Yuhao was suddenly stunned.
"Body Martial Soul... Body Martial Soul... That's it. I used to be very confused, feeling that my martial soul seemed somewhat special. Around me, it seemed that everyone else's martial souls were either various objects or soul beasts..."
Huo Yuhao's eyes also brightened, as if he had received some kind of inspiration.
"Correct. And let me tell you, those so-called tool martial souls or beast martial souls are nothing special. The so-called number one martial souls on the market—the Clear Sky Hammer, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Bright Phoenix—none of those are the most powerful martial souls in the world."
The man smiled faintly, placing his hands behind his back.
