The Body Sect, The Woman in Red

"Body Sect?" Huo Yuhao scratched his head.

He had some impression of the Body Sect from the original work; it seemed to be the guardian sect of the Heaven Dou Empire, but in the end, they led all their elites to charge on the battlefield, only to suffer heavy casualties under the Soul Tools of the Sun Moon Empire.

By the third installment, there were only one or two descendants of the Body Sect left, making it arguably the most tragic sect in the second installment, bar none.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Wang Yan realized he didn't know much about the Body Sect, so he began to explain: "The Body Sect is an extremely mysterious sect on the continent. Along with Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall, they are known as the three great powers of the continent. Its members all possess a Body Martial Soul just like yours."

"This sect has a very long history, and their research into Body Martial Souls is the most profound. It is said they possess secret techniques that can cause one's own Body Martial Soul to undergo a second awakening, thereby making their martial soul exceptionally powerful."

"Yuhao, I suspect your martial soul is a type of mutated Body Martial Soul. It is even rarer than a standard Body Martial Soul; it might even be a one-of-a-kind existence among them."

"I suspect your martial soul has the potential for continuous evolution. After each evolution, it will become stronger. If you were in the Body Sect, it might even be the most highly regarded martial soul they have."

"If you can cultivate your martial soul to keep it evolving, and then obtain the Body Sect's awakening secret technique, your Sharingan martial soul might just evolve into some kind of unique, super-tier martial soul."

"No, perhaps even something that transcends god-tier martial souls!"

The more Wang Yan spoke, the more excited he became. His emotions fluctuated wildly, and the way he looked at Huo Yuhao was as if he were staring at some kind of rare treasure.

Huo Yuhao felt a chill from being stared at like that.

However, Wang Yan's words did inspire Huo Yuhao. If his Sharingan were to upgrade to the Rinnegan in the future, and he added the Body Sect's awakening method on top of that...

Would his eyes undergo further changes?

Huo Yuhao's heart stirred. After all, the Sharingan was his martial soul now; logically speaking, it should be effective!

"It's a pity that the Body Sect's whereabouts are unpredictable, and finding them is not easy," Wang Yan sighed.

But then, as if realizing something, Wang Yan jumped up, giving Huo Yuhao a start.

"Yuhao, I've got it! Your situation is perfect for a cultivation program within the academy. Don't worry, I'll go find the academy's top brass right now. I will make sure you receive the best training!"

After saying this, Wang Yan hurried off in a flurry, leaving Huo Yuhao standing there alone.

Huo Yuhao stood there in a daze, full of helplessness, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

By the shores of the Sea God Lake.

After leaving the teacher's office, Huo Yuhao had wandered here without realizing it.

The Sea God Lake rippled with clear blue waves, and the fresh air from the lakeside made him feel refreshed and relaxed.

"As long as I can enter the Inner Court, I'll be one step closer to the Life Source!" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but clench his fists.

In truth, there was a reason why Huo Yuhao was so obsessed with the Life Source.

The reason was that once his Sharingan evolved to the level of the Rinnegan, it would be known as the eye that controls life and death—a title that was well-deserved.

It could truly resurrect the dead!

Once Huo Yuhao awakened the Rinnegan and combined it with the Life Source, he could resurrect his mother.

Huo Yun'er!

This had been Huo Yuhao's goal all along.

Huo Yuhao walked along the edge of the Sea God Lake, lost in thought.

In his memory, Huo Yun'er's kind, smiling face seemed to still be right before his eyes.

Just then, Huo Yuhao suddenly noticed a small red dot appearing in the center of the Sea God Lake.

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, and he activated his Sharingan once more.

With the Sharingan's superior vision and perception, Huo Yuhao gradually saw clearly.

Amidst the mist on the distant lake, there seemed to be something resembling a house.

At this moment, a small red dot was moving rapidly across the surface of the lake.

And the direction this red dot was moving was exactly where Huo Yuhao was standing!

"This is... the aura of fire-attribute Soul Power." Huo Yuhao frowned.

As the red dot drew closer, he could clearly feel a fierce and dense fire-attribute aura; even the temperature of the surrounding air began to feel scorching.

As the distance closed, a red figure appeared in Huo Yuhao's field of vision, sprinting across the Sea God Lake at an astonishing speed. Every time her toes tapped the surface of the lake, a fiery red ripple would spread out, looking just like a cloud of burning fire drifting rapidly across the water.

It was a woman with blood-red hair and a tall, slender figure; her body's curves were even more explosive than those of Zhu Lu, whom Huo Yuhao had met before.

But at this moment, the red-clad woman's expression was manic, her blood-red hair flying in the wind, and she was wantonly radiating a terrifying pressure from her entire body.

Wherever she passed, the water on the lake's surface was rapidly evaporated into steam, and the high temperature seemed to cause the space around her to distort slightly.

"Soul Emperor cultivation?" Huo Yuhao sensed it briefly and found that the Soul Power pressure radiating from this person was even stronger than that of Zhou Yi.

Before Huo Yuhao could figure out who this was, the next second, the red-clad woman had already charged to within a hundred meters of him.

Immediately following, a terrifying, high-temperature flame erupted from her body, transforming into a fire phoenix that let out a long cry toward the sky.

The flames were a very distinct purplish-red. The moment these purple flames appeared, countless plants and animals around the Sea God Lake withered rapidly.

"Ma Xiaotao!" Huo Yuhao recognized her identity the instant he saw the red-clad woman.

She was far too easy to recognize: the iconic phoenix flames, those bewitching features, the crimson robes, and that incredibly explosive figure.

All of these marked her identity as the Phoenix Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult.

This crazy woman, her Phoenix Evil Fire must have flared up again, and she just had to pick the moment I was taking a walk by the lake to lose control, didn't she? Huo Yuhao felt utterly speechless.

Leave! Without a moment's hesitation, Huo Yuhao turned on his heel to flee.

"Ah! I can't take it anymore, I can't take it! I need to vent, if I don't vent now, I'm going to die!"

Ma Xiaotao's expression was dazed, her mouth muttering a stream of strange, incoherent words.

As she spoke, she began tearing at her red robes, exposing a large expanse of snow-white skin on her upper body, a sight dizzying enough to mesmerize any man.

The tight-fitting trousers wrapping her plump, smooth thighs were also partially shredded in her delirium, revealing a glimpse of spring.

Clutching her head with both hands, her face twisted in agony, she frantically searched for something nearby to vent her torment upon.

The Purple-Red Flame Phoenix upon her back spat out flames incessantly, the screech of the avian spirit growing increasingly violent.

Just then, Ma Xiaotao caught sight of a young man standing a few dozen meters away.

For some reason, an aura emanated from the boy that made her feel incredibly comfortable.

If I vent it out on him, I will definitely feel better.

The thought surfaced in Ma Xiaotao's mind.

A flicker of reason flashed through her eyes for a brief moment.

But it was immediately suppressed by a wave of maddening desire.

She lunged toward Huo Yuhao.

The Purple-Red Flame Phoenix behind her seemed to have found its target as well, letting out a piercing cry as it surged forward to devour Huo Yuhao with insane ferocity.

Once Huo Yuhao realized it was Ma Xiaotao, he had already tried to flee at top speed, but how could his pace compare to that of a woman in such a frenzied state?

The next second, Ma Xiaotao had relentlessly closed the distance behind him, her posture suggesting she intended to swallow him whole.

"This is going too far!"

"So it's Phoenix Evil Fire, is it? I'll show you what the true Undying Fire is!"

The next moment.

With a crisp "crack," the Soul Bead within Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea—condensed by Elder Yi from the negative spiritual energy in his mind before falling into slumber—shattered into two!
