Mu Ye Arrives

The two didn't walk far before arriving at a nearby hotel, where Uncle Zhang stepped forward first to unlock the door.

The pair took the elevator directly to the fourth floor, and as the door to 404 opened, a middle-aged man was sitting inside.

The middle-aged man sat there, sipping tea while reading a book.

Seeing Uncle Zhang walk in, the middle-aged man was visibly stunned for a moment, then stood up with a faint smile on his face and stepped forward to shake Uncle Zhang's hand.

A terrifying force surged forth, followed by the creaking sound of bones.

Uncle Zhang's expression turned ugly in an instant, and he promptly slapped the middle-aged man hard on the head.

"It's you brat, you really don't hold back. I'm your senior brother, why are you using so much strength on me?"

"You have the nerve to say that? You ran off on the sect back then, claiming your talent was limited and that you were unworthy of the sect's upbringing."

"You could have at least stayed on as an instructor, but you didn't just run—you ran to a tiny place like this."

The middle-aged man rolled his eyes at Uncle Zhang, though Uncle Zhang didn't mind, smiling as he reached out to pull Li Ang over.

"This is the kid I told you about. His physical strength is heaven-defying; I feel he is perfectly suited for our sect's secret arts."

Uncle Zhang looked at the middle-aged man as he spoke.

The middle-aged man paused, tilted his head slightly, and swept his gaze over Li Ang before reaching out to grab Li Ang's arm.

However, the moment his hand touched Li Ang's arm, a thin layer of Geo energy blocked the contact.

Unfortunately, this element proved ineffective against the middle-aged man; as he gripped down hard, Li Ang's energy instantly collapsed.

The middle-aged man's hand clamped onto Li Ang's arm, and feeling that terrifying force, the veins on Li Ang's arm began to bulge.

As their immense powers collided, the middle-aged man's eyes brightened.

"This little guy is only 6 years old, right? At 6, he already possesses a ton of raw power, and his defense is even more astonishing. This is stronger than some normal four-ring or five-ring defensive soul masters."

The middle-aged man spoke, his face showing a hint of shock.

The terrifying power brought about by this monstrous physical strength was something even he found difficult to withstand, especially since he could sense something clearly peculiar about the boy.

Yet, he couldn't quite see through exactly what that peculiarity was.

Listening to the middle-aged man, Uncle Zhang grinned and pointed at him.

"Li Ang, let me introduce you. This is Mu Ye, the Sect Master of the Body Sect, and he can be considered my junior brother."

As Uncle Zhang spoke with a hint of pride, Li Ang's head snapped up the moment he heard the name Mu Ye.

His eyes held a trace of surprise; the identity of Mu Ye was far from simple.

Not only was he a Super Douluo, but he was also a pilot of a red mecha.

Furthermore, his strength was among the very top of the Super Douluo, and he was the inheritor of the Body Sect's secret arts.

The Body Sect's secret arts could assist in the secondary awakening of a martial soul, which might be irrelevant to others, but for Li Ang, it was different.

His martial soul was the Douluo Planet; this planet was his martial soul.

With a secondary awakening of his martial soul, he might be able to gain even greater control over the Douluo Planet.

Moreover, the Geo Archon Rex Lapis template he possessed meant he would eventually attain the terrifying power and combat prowess of a sanctified physical body.

In such a case, if the Body Sect could assist him, or even help guide his development, it would absolutely stabilize his physical state.

It would allow his power to continuously rise, reaching an extremely terrifying, even monstrous level.

"Junior Li Ang, pays his respects to Sect Master Mu."

Li Ang said as he cupped his fists, appearing very humble.

Watching Li Ang's expression, Mu Ye didn't reply immediately, falling into a moment of contemplation instead.

Seeing Mu Ye's hesitation, Uncle Zhang looked helpless and gave him a direct pat on the back.

"What are you thinking about, kid? Even though he's joined the Spirit Pagoda, he's only 6 years old. Why can't you just take him as your disciple? Only by having the status of the Spirit Pagoda can he be better protected."

Uncle Zhang looked at Mu Ye with great seriousness, his eyes carrying deep meaning.

The reason the Body Sect's influence wasn't strong at the moment was simple: first, they couldn't find the right talent, and even when restrictions were lifted, it was hard to find good seedlings even without requiring a body-type martial soul.

Those who did make it to the Body Sect, like his chief disciple A Ruheng, were essentially orphans he had picked up.

But such orphans were rarely seen, and once they showed talent, they were usually absorbed by the Spirit Pagoda.

It wasn't that Mu Ye hadn't encountered good talent before, but most of them were already disciples of the Spirit Pagoda, so he hadn't taken them in.

But now, encountering a terrifying genius like Li Ang, who possessed a ton of strength at age 6—a person like this, let alone having a high probability of becoming a Limit Douluo in the future.

Even if he just became a regular Title Douluo, if he could maintain this terrifying power attribute, he could potentially be the future pride of the Body Sect.

"He is indeed a genius."

"Senior brother, I doubted you before, but this child's talent is truly remarkable. If I cultivate him with care, his future prospects will be absolutely limitless."

Mu Ye spoke, then fell silent, his eyes flickering slightly before he made up his mind.

"Are you willing to become my disciple? I know you have a master in the Spirit Pagoda, but I don't care about that. As long as you are willing to take me as your master, I can pass on the true secret arts of the Body Sect to you."

Mu Ye spoke with great solemnity when mentioning the true secret arts; these were not the special secret arts that could be completed in a short term of 75 or 100 days.

This is the true secret training method of the Body Sect, a technique specifically designed to refine the physical body and elevate one's strength.

This secret method comes with many restrictions and consumes a tremendous amount of resources, time, and energy.

Hearing Mu Ye's words, Li Ang's expression instantly lit up.

He had read the original work, and in the original timeline, even Tang Wulin never learned this complete secret method.

What he learned was merely a crude version, intended only to forcibly awaken his martial soul so he could become the Blue Silver King.

Yet, the true core secret method left behind by the Body Sect, which has been passed down for twenty thousand years, possesses unimaginable power.

In particular, Li Ang could feel that while his physical strength was growing stronger by the day, his age and skeletal structure could not keep pace with that rapid growth.

Under these circumstances, there was a real possibility that he could be torn apart by the sheer power of his Geo Archon Rex Lapis template.

He was not born a divine entity like the Geo Archon Rex Lapis, nor did he possess the Geo Traveler Star, let alone the strength to suppress the heavens or dominate the world.

As a genuine, ordinary human, the hardship and agony required to approach the level of a god were beyond what an average person could imagine.

But now, with this Body Sect secret method, while it could not completely resolve his issues, it would at least ensure he didn't have to worry about his body breaking down from its own excessive strength over the next few years.

"Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"
