Body Martial Souls were the most wondrous type of Martial Soul in this world.
They were entirely different from Beast Martial Souls and Tool Martial Souls.
A Soul Master's Beast Martial Soul was a type of Soul Beast. In battle, the Soul Master would use Martial Soul Possession and gain the distinctive features of that Beast Martial Soul.
Tool Martial Souls were things like farming implements, blacksmiths' hammers, and iron swords.
Body Martial Souls, on the other hand, directly used a part of the body as a Martial Soul.
Eyes, skin, arms, brains-anything closely connected to the body could become a Martial Soul.
The closer a Body Martial Soul was to a bodily organ, the greater its potential.
Besides that, Body Martial Souls had an even more powerful secret method that could change their quality.
The Body Martial Soul Second Awakening, unique to the Body Sect!
In the Divine Realm, above the sea of clouds.
At the very top of the God Realm Committee.
Sea God Tang San stood before a floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down at the lower realm in utter bewilderment.
Before his eyes, it was as though there were threads that had been arranged in place, each moving bit by bit from its starting point toward the finish line.
But the moment the threads began to move, they fell into chaos, completely separating from the other two threads.
In the end, they dissipated above the sea of clouds.
Tang San, who had seen it all, raised an eyebrow. "The Son of Destiny's thread has gone astray."
The Son of Destiny he spoke of was none other than Huo Yuhao. He had been observing him ever since his birth.
Huo Yuhao's birth had gathered all the power of destiny in heaven and earth into one person.
His destiny was enough to surpass even Tang San's back in the day.
To obtain this predestined Son of Destiny, he, Tang San, would stop at nothing.
He knew that as long as the Son of Destiny, Huo Yuhao, became his man, turning the Douluo Continent into his own backyard would be no problem.
Ever since Huo Yuhao's birth, he had mapped out the most suitable path for him.
Now that path had veered off course, and he had to find a way to set it right.
Tang San raised his hand, and a sphere of light appeared in it at once. Inside the sphere was a soul.
Before Xiao Qi descended to the lower realm, he had split her soul into three. One part was in the Clear Sky Sect, and another was together with the soul in the Clear Sky Sect.
These two souls would lead Wang Dong'er to seek out Huo Yuhao. When Huo Yuhao met the Star Dou Great Forest's Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he could quietly slip this second soul into her body.
Finally, when the two had completed their transformations, he would have the three souls merge, allowing Xiao Qi to become the Butterfly God without suffering.
It would be best if she could advance to become a First-Level God or even a God King.
"A chess piece is a chess piece, after all. Huo Yuhao, no matter what changes you make, you won't escape my chain."
"I'll use this chain to tether you, so you can only join my Tang Sect and can never join any other faction."
"You think an ordinary person like you can stand against gods like us?"
Tang San's tone was resolute, as though he had set his sights on Huo Yuhao for life.
Just then, Tang San sensed an intent of utter destruction.
"Is that so? Sea God Tang San, do you think you can hide everything you've done from everyone?"
Tang San turned around and stared at the person before him in disbelief.
"You... you're Destruction!"
"That was way too close..."
Huo Yuhao was hiding in a patch of grass, his heart pounding with fear.
Outside the grass, a majestic lion wreathed in blazing flames was patrolling its territory.
Even hidden in the grass, Huo Yuhao could feel the scorching heat radiating from the Flame Lion.
Every step the Flame Lion took snuffed out the tiny lives of swathes of Blue Silver Grass.
Huo Yuhao lay in the grass, his azure eyes tracking the Hundred-Year Flame Lion's movements. Now, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had found another excuse to fall unconscious.
Given his strength, even challenging a ten-year or fifty-year Soul Beast was the limit of what he could manage.
Let alone a Hundred-Year Soul Beast.
The Spirit Eyes Martial Soul wasn't one of those Power Attack System Martial Souls, but a Control System one.
Its role was mostly supportive.
If he used Soul Shock, the fourth lesser Soul Skill within his first Soul Skill, on the Flame Lion now, just see whether it would kill him before he could even hurt it.
Suddenly, a black figure swept swiftly over Huo Yuhao's head.
Before Huo Yuhao could even react, a thud rang out ahead.
The Flame Lion had been knocked to the ground by a mysterious force.
Killing intent detected!
Alarm bells rang wildly!
Demons and monsters, begone!
All sorts of sounds forewarning him of danger kept alerting Huo Yuhao.
Just as a large hand was about to land on his shoulder, Huo Yuhao reacted with lightning speed.
He reached back and grabbed the ill-intentioned hand that was about to seize him.
"Oh ho, young man, nice reflexes."
"A mere Soul Master, yet you sensed an ambush by a Titled Douluo like me."
The voice that reached Huo Yuhao's ears sounded like praise, yet not quite.
Huo Yuhao immediately backed out of the grass, putting distance between himself and the person behind him.
When he saw the man who had tried to pat his shoulder, Huo Yuhao froze.
Body Sect elder, Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng.
Then the person just now...!
"This Flame Lion looks good, its quality is excellent, and its bloodline passes muster too. We can take it back to the sect for the disciples to have a taste."
Hearing that voice, Huo Yuhao looked back to see Du Busi pick up the Flame Lion and put it into a Storage Soul Tool.
As for how Du Busi had dealt with the Flame Lion, he hadn't caught a glimpse of it.
"Wh-who are you?!"
Looking at Du Busi and Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng, who had appeared out of nowhere, Huo Yuhao pretended to be terribly frightened, trembling with fear.
Du Busi looked at Huo Yuhao with the hint of a smile. Sure enough, he was much the same as the Huo Yuhao in his memories.
Du Busi and Jin Peng introduced themselves to Huo Yuhao in turn.
"Body Sect master, Body Douluo Du Busi."
"Body Sect elder, Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng."
Huo Yuhao opened and closed his mouth, then said with feigned surprise, "I... I actually met the Body Sect's master and elder here!"
Huo Yuhao's surprised expression was plain to see, just as Du Busi had expected.
Du Busi said evenly, "We were merely passing by and found you here."
"Boy, what's your name? Is your Martial Soul related to your eyes?"
The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched inwardly. Passing by? Only a ghost would believe that.
Still, he answered honestly. After all, the man was a great power.
"Your Majesty Body Douluo, my name is Huo Yuhao. My Martial Soul is indeed related to my eyes. I like to call it Spirit Eyes."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao activated his Martial Soul and shared the vision of his deep-blue eyes with Du Busi and Jin Peng.
Jin Peng was overjoyed. "Sect Master, you truly foresaw this like a god! It really is a Body Martial Soul!"
Du Busi laughed. "The Body Martial Soul Spirit Eyes. That sounds much better than simply calling it eyes."
Then Du Busi looked at Huo Yuhao solemnly. "Huo Yuhao."
"Are you willing to join our Body Sect?"
"No, this is how I should put it."
"All Soul Masters under heaven with Body Martial Souls must join our Body Sect, and you are no exception."
