The elders and disciples of the Body Sect had witnessed firsthand the earth-shaking spectacle of Mu Ye's breakthrough. It was as though they had seen the dawn of the sect's revival, and every one of them was beside themselves with joy.
Excitement and pride gleamed in their eyes, as if all their sacrifices and waiting had finally been rewarded at this very moment.
On the square, a white-haired old man was the first to react. He straightened his back and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Congratulations to the Sect Master on his breakthrough! Hail the Sect Master! Hail the Body Sect!"
His booming voice echoed over the square like a great bell.
"Hail the Sect Master! Hail the Body Sect!" The disciples' cries surged like an unending tide, wave after wave.
The voices gathered into a mighty force, as though they were about to burst through the clouds.
Excited smiles filled every face. They waved their arms, leaped, and cheered, while the entire Body Sect sank into an ocean of joy.
Standing atop the platform, Mu Ye felt the vast power coursing through his body, and his heart surged with emotion. Confidence and boldness shone in his eyes, sweeping away his former gloom. He looked several years younger.
The next moment, as if remembering something, he swept his gaze over the crowd below and declared, "All right! Get back to your own business! This Sect Master has something to take care of!"
Yet beneath the unquestionable authority in his voice was a faint trace of impatience.
With that, he lightly tapped off with both feet. Like an eagle spreading its wings into flight, he shot toward the distance. His figure streaked across the sky in an arc of light and swiftly vanished from everyone's sight.
Seeing this, A Ru Heng turned to Zuo Qiu Lun with a puzzled expression. "Junior Brother, where's Master going?" He scratched his head, his eyes full of confusion.
Zuo Qiu Lun was equally at a loss. He shook his head helplessly and replied, "No idea." Rare uncertainty tinged his voice.
"Oh." A Ru Heng nodded, then asked, "Oh, then will he be back for dinner tonight?"
His adorably blank expression made it hard not to laugh.
Looking at this senior brother of his, Zuo Qiu Lun felt utterly speechless.
He let out a helpless sigh. Is this really about whether he'll be eating dinner?
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan
At that moment, an elder was instructing the clan's younger disciples. He told them to focus on their own cultivation and not become overly obsessed with external things, wasting their potential. As he spoke, he cited several examples, including the cautionary tale of a certain Titled Douluo surnamed Mu.
"The path of cultivation lies in focusing on oneself! You must never become lost in external things and squander the supreme potential Heaven has bestowed upon us through the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul! Look at so-and-so... and Mu Ye of the Body Sect!"
However, just as he was about to launch into a lengthy lecture for the younger disciples,
A fist force descended from the sky. Sensing that familiar aura—only far stronger than before—the elder only had time to blurt out, "Fuck! Mu Ye, you fucking—"
Then, with a BOOM, he fell into an infant-like sleep.
Scenes like this did not occur only in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. They continually played out among major forces throughout the Federation.
Yu Family of Snake Spear
"Damn it, Mu Ye, you—"
BOOM!
Spirit Pagoda of Tianding City
"What? You broke through?!"
BOOM!
Wu Family of Star Luo City
"Old Mu, let's talk this out!"
BOOM!
Dark Tortoise Sect
"Brother Mu, we're both respectable men. Leave me a little dignity!"
BOOM!
Mu Ye paid visits, city by city, to those "old friends" who had once mocked him. There were, of course, people who tried to persuade him otherwise.
"Mu Ye, there's no need for this!"
BOOM!
"Old Mu, don't do it!"
BOOM!
Mu Ye said nothing. He simply threw punch after punch after punch!
As Mu Ye acted, the news grew wings and swiftly spread to every major force in the Federation.
At this time, disciples who had been dispatched to garrison and train at strongholds in other cities relayed, through soul communication devices, the Sect Master's glorious deeds of "visiting" the major forces in real time.
When they heard that their Sect Master was knocking down one "old friend" with every punch, beating those who had once looked down on the Body Sect and mocked their Sect Master until they were scrambling for teeth all over the ground, the entire Body Sect first fell into a strange silence before erupting into cheers and laughter even more fervent than before!
"Hahaha! The Sect Master is mighty!"
"Excellent! Let those snobs who look down on people learn their lesson!"
"The Sect Master is amazing!"
Listening to his junior brothers and sisters chatter excitedly, A Ru Heng scratched his head and looked at Zuo Qiu Lun in confusion. "Huh? Didn't Master say before that he didn't care about outside opinions? He even taught us that all those things were passing clouds, and that honing our own abilities was the proper path."
Seeing his senior brother's still-bewildered expression, then hearing the constant messages from the communicator—"BOOM!" and "So-and-so has been beaten flat!"—Zuo Qiu Lun felt utterly exhausted.
He let out a long, deep sigh, as if trying to sigh out all the worry he had borne for his master over the years, as well as the exhaustion of explaining things to his senior brother. "Sigh! I'm tired!"
Still, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Zuo Qiu Lun silently added in his heart. He looked at the surging morale throughout the sect because of the Sect Master's "glorious deeds," at the unprecedented pride and confidence in the disciples' eyes.
With such a big reputation, recruiting disciples should be easier in the future.
Returning home without riches is like walking at night in embroidered robes!
Master is using his actions to tell the entire continent—the Body Sect, which once commanded the winds and clouds, has returned! And it has returned in force, with power more than sufficient!
At this moment, Mu Ye arrived at the final stop of his journey—Shrek Academy.
Looking at this ancient institution, renowned across the continent and revered by all as the supreme academy of the soul master world,
Mu Ye's eyes held only contempt and revulsion.
His gaze was cold as frost, as though it could freeze the surrounding air. A fierce aura of rage radiated from his body, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.
The feud between the two sides could be traced back ten thousand years. Back then, the Sun Moon Empire had launched a war, and the Body Sect had suffered severe losses in that conflict. The sect's elites were nearly wiped out, and in order to preserve the Body Sect's legacy,
Du Bushi, the Body Sect Master of ten thousand years ago, had entrusted the Body Sect's Inheritance Seed to the Ice Spirit Douluo, Huo Yuhao.
Yet when successive Body Sect Masters later came to reclaim the Inheritance Seed, Shrek Academy had repeatedly stalled, argued, and refused to return it.
They used every sort of excuse, claiming that the Inheritance Seed had been lost or maliciously stolen. They even accused the Body Sect Masters of harboring ulterior motives.
From then on, relations between the two sides had taken a nosedive, with conflict after conflict. The Body Sect Masters came again and again to demand the Inheritance Seed, only to leave disappointed each time.
My strength was insufficient before, so I could only swallow my anger. But now this Sect Master possesses ultimate-level combat power. It is time for Shrek to repay the debt it owes my Body Sect!
The face the Body Sect lost here at Shrek—today, this Sect Master will personally reclaim it!
Without any need for buildup, the terrifying pressure around Mu Ye erupted with a thunderous blast, almost tangible in its force! Dark golden soul power flames surged into the heavens, churning the clouds above Shrek Academy!
His powerful aura instantly blanketed the entire Shrek Academy. Countless students who had been cultivating or studying felt suffocating pressure descend upon them, their faces turning deathly pale!
Mu Ye's voice boomed over Shrek Academy like thunder from the ninth heaven. Every word contained boundless fury and tyrannical power, making the air itself hum and tremble!
"Mu Ye, current Sect Master of the Body Sect, has come to visit! Shrek Academy! Get the hell out here!"
