Body Sect,
the continent's foremost reclusive sect!
Yet to Douluo Continent, it was a name as taboo as could be.
They were neither wholly righteous nor wholly evil, acting only according to their own whims.
They had once hunted down several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in a short period of time, triggering a beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest!
Who could have imagined
that Wei Na, the young princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, was actually a core disciple of the Body Sect and its second-ranked prodigy.
Then the relationship between the Body Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire spoke for itself.
Of course,
quite a few people in the soul master world still knew of Du Busi.
Seeing the Body Sect side with the Heaven Dou Empire, discussions erupted once more:
"Body Sect's current leader is Du Busi, a rank ninety-eight Super Douluo! He's actually willing to become a consecrated official of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"The Heaven Dou Empire has the Body Sect as its guardian sect? How have we never heard of this?"
"No wonder the Heaven Dou Empire has kept such a low profile among the three great empires these past few years. So they were plotting something!"
"The Body Sect's disciples are no pushovers. Is the Heaven Dou Empire about to rise...?"
"Body Sect?"
Star Luo Empire Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xu Jiawei looked solemnly at the Sky Screen and said in a low voice, "I never expected the Heaven Dou Empire to have hidden itself so deeply."
Xu Jiujiu stood beside him, her willow brows slightly furrowed.
"Brother, the Body Sect has always remained detached from worldly affairs, yet now it has become the Heaven Dou Empire's guardian sect. It seems they made this choice so they could oppose the Sun Moon Empire in the future."
Xu Jiawei nodded in agreement, his expression growing even graver as helplessness tinged his voice.
"After Shrek Academy declared its independence, the Sun Moon Empire changed its view of them. If the Sun Moon Empire wins someday, it won't destroy the continent's foremost academy."
"So, the Heaven Dou Empire hasn't placed all its bets on Shrek Academy."
Xu Jiujiu was stunned at first.
Then shock flooded her beautiful eyes.
"The Body Sect is willing to bind itself to the Heaven Dou Empire because it has sensed the threat of the Sun Moon Empire's national power!?"
Xu Jiawei drew a deep breath, concern flashing through his eyes. "We need to put our plans on the agenda as soon as possible."
Sun Moon Empire.
Inside Mingde Hall.
Jing Hongchen watched the Body Sect's mountain gate appear on the Sky Screen, a meaningful smile curling at his lips.
"So what if they have the Body Sect backing them?"
"They are still utterly vulnerable before our Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Technology."
"When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, that will be the time of your destruction."
At the same time,
inside the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Master Academy,
Ma Rulong, Meng, Xiao Hongchen, and the others also saw the content on the Sky Screen.
Xiao Hongchen crossed his arms before his chest and said with a faint smile,
"Twin Martial Souls, a core disciple of the Body Sect?"
"I really hope I can meet her in the Soul Master Tournament. Let me see just how strong the Body Sect's genius truly is."
Elder Ma glanced at him and said with certainty,
"I've heard that Body Sect disciples can awaken their martial souls and bring out even greater abilities."
"Since the Sky Screen says Wei Na has already completed Bronze-Level Awakening, she should next devote herself fully to breaking through to the next stage of awakening."
"However, she is about the same age as you. She will be your opponent five years from now."
Upon hearing Elder Ma's words,
the anticipation in Xiao Hongchen's eyes grew even stronger.
Shrek Academy.
Inside Sea God Pavilion.
Xuan Zi watched the figure that flashed across the Sky Screen, a grave expression appearing on his aged face.
"Was that Du Busi?"
"I never thought that monster was still alive..."
Mu En, seated in his reclining chair, gave a soft acknowledgment. "It seems they will be making some moves in the time ahead as well."
At that,
Xuan Zi snorted coldly.
"Although that old bastard Du Busi has hidden himself well, Elder Mu, you can rest assured."
"Even if the Body Sect mobilizes its entire sect, it may not necessarily be a match for our Shrek Academy."
Mu En shook his head and said lightly,
"I wasn't worried that the Body Sect would act against us."
"I was only wondering whether their plans would be affected by this Sky Screen."
[ Ding! ] [ The inventory of Wei Na has concluded! ] [ Beginning distribution of Wei Na's rewards! ] [ Reward: Wei Na's Body Martial Soul will undergo another awakening! ] [ Reward: Wei Na's Snow Lotus martial soul's support effects will be enhanced! ]
The discussions about Wei Na and the Body Sect did not last long.
The vast majority of All Living Beings could not reach that level and could only continue watching the Sky Screen,
while waiting for Shrek Academy to provide an explanation.
Before long,
the image on the golden scroll began to change,
revealing a tall, slender figure.
The first thing All Living Beings saw was the Shrek Academy uniform he wore.
As expected,
the person making the list this time was still a prodigy from Shrek Academy.
But thinking of Tang Ya, All Living Beings could not help feeling somewhat uneasy, and the cheers and discussions this time were far less enthusiastic.
The Sky Screen's voice followed.
[ Ding! ] [ Fourteenth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking: Shrek Academy, Xu Sanshi! ]
Inside a Sea God Lake lounge,
Xu Sanshi sprang to his feet. Seeing himself on the Sky Screen, his eyes were filled with delight.
"I made the list!"
"Nannan, did you see? I made the list! Fourteenth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking!"
"Xiao Yuhao, did you guys see it?"
Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and even several official team members all gathered around him.
Their eyes were full of envy as they hurriedly offered praise and agreement.
After all, only thirteen prodigies ranked ahead of Xu Sanshi.
Only Jiang Nannan remained seated on the sofa, her gaze toward Xu Sanshi becoming somewhat strange.
For some reason,
she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
The Sky Screen Inventory continued.
[ Standing before you now is Xu Sanshi—the young master of the reclusive Black Tortoise Sect, a descendant of the Douling Empire imperial family, a Shrek Academy prodigy, one of the Outer Court Twin Stars, and a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department! ]
"!!!"
Upon hearing the Sky Screen's introduction of Xu Sanshi, All Living Beings were astonished.
They even cast aside their earlier prejudice toward Tang Ya.
"!??"
"Is Shrek Academy really this full of hidden talents?? Another genius from a reclusive sect?"
"That is the Black Tortoise Sect! Though it isn't as strong as the Body Sect, it has countless legends in the Douling Empire!"
"He has our Douling imperial bloodline! He is the pride of our Douling Empire!"
"..."
As All Living Beings discussed,
the image on the golden scroll changed once more, revealing Xu Sanshi in his younger years.
The Sky Screen's voice slowly rang out.
[ Xu Sanshi was born into the Black Tortoise Sect. His father was the Black Tortoise Sect's leader, while his mother was a princess of the former Douling Empire dynasty. Since childhood, he had been valued by his family and raised with every effort! ] [ He possesses a martial soul with incredibly strong defensive power: the Black Tortoise of Mystery! ] [ Mysterious Underworld Tremor! ] [ Mysterious Underworld Power! ] [ Mysterious Underworld Shield Formation! ] [ ... ]
