Body Sect and Shrek Academy are renowned top-tier forces on the continent.
After they made their moves, they were all taken into the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield by Kong Deming. The treatment of these people from the Body Sect and Xuan Zi was worlds apart.
Shrek paid the price of four Soul Bone to redeem Xuan Zi.
The reason Kong Deming treated the Body Sect leniently was naturally because they had greater value to him!
And this is related to what he's about to say.
Despite sensing the goodwill emanating from Kong Deming, Du Busi still dared not let his guard down, instinctively feeling that what the other party was about to say might be even more important.
However, Kong Deming did not speak afterward, but instead looked at Kong Xuan beside him.
Kong Xuan stepped forward and said, "I wonder if you noticed before, senior, that Soul Master with Body Martial Soul have extremely high talent for learning Soul Tool. If Body Sect Soul Master also become Soul Engineer, I think their strength will definitely increase dramatically."
In the original novel, after Du Busi died, the legacy he left to Huo Yuhao specifically mentioned the advantages of using Soul Tool with Body Martial Soul.
I wonder if the current Du Busi has already discovered this.
Kong Xuan's eyes gleamed with golden light as he intently observed Du Busi's every move.
After Kong Xuan uttered these words, Du Busi's gaze darkened, and his expression turned cold.
"I only have eyes for Huo Yuhao, but you've got your eyes on the entire Body Sect?"
"You want to turn the entire Body Sect into Soul Engineer of the Sun Moon Empire? Absolutely impossible!"
Du Busi became agitated. The Body Sect was his foundation, and he would absolutely not allow anyone to covet Body Sect.
Kong Deming's hand gleamed with silver light, as if he were about to launch an attack at any moment.
He shouted, "Poison Sect Master, calm down!"
Feeling the spatial power surging in Kong Deming's hand, Du Busi, in his rage, felt a jolt in his heart, and his momentum noticeably weakened.
Unlike Xuan Zi Du Busi did not have a stress reaction to the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, but the three days of sealing, which were filled with day and night, felt extremely long, and he did not want to experience that again.
Seeing that Du Busi had "calmed down," Kong Deming finally spoke up, "Sect Master Poison, you've misunderstood us. The Body Sect is still the Body Sect; we have no intention of annexing your sect."
Seeing Kong Deming's serious expression, Du Busi's agitated emotions calmed down slightly.
Currently, the top leaders of the Body Sect are basically under Kong Deming's control. If he wanted to, the Body Sect might be wiped out today.
Faced with this situation, he felt that the other party really had no need to lie to him.
However, Du Busi remained wary and asked, "Then what exactly do you mean?"
Kong Deming smiled and said, "What I mean is, we can cooperate."
"Cooperation?" Du Busi frowned slightly. "How so?"
Kong Deming did not answer his question directly, but instead asked, "What does the Poison Sect Master think of my armor?"
Du Busi looked at Kong Deming's silver armor, observed it for a moment, and said, "I don't understand Soul Tool, but this armor of yours looks extraordinary. Not only can it block detection, it's almost like a living thing; there's even Soul Power flowing within it!"
Du Busi's eyes widened, a hint of surprise flashing within them.
He hadn't noticed it until Kong Deming mentioned it; he had never seen such a Soul Tool Armor before.
"The Poison Sect Master has excellent taste. This armor of mine is called Battle Armor, the pinnacle of the Soul Tool Technology of my Sun Moon Empire..."
After Kong Deming gave Du Busi a thorough explanation of the power of the Battle Armor, Du Busi's expression became increasingly interesting, gradually changing from shock to disbelief.
The "effects" of the Battle Armor are simply too powerful. Soul King can upgrade his Soul Skill to the Soul Saint level by wearing it, and it is even effective against Super Douluo.
When Du Busi looked at the Battle Armor on Kong Deming's body again, his eyes gleamed with an irrepressible greed.
His expression was like that of a perverted man who had been celibate for a long time, seeing a goddess who had suddenly appeared. This made Kong Deming feel a chill in his heart, and he even felt disgusted by the way he looked at the other person.
"Cough cough!"
Kong Deming coughed twice on purpose, pulling Du Busi back from his reverie, and his expression finally returned to normal.
Kong Deming continued, " Battle Armor is not Soul Tool in the traditional sense, but Soul Tool worn by Martial Soul, making it more compatible with the Body Martial Soul than ordinary Soul Tool!"
Kong Deming and Kong Xuan could clearly feel that Du Busi's heartbeat was gradually accelerating, and his mood was obviously not as calm as his expression suggested.
" Soul Tool specially designed for Martial Soul!"
The phrase kept echoing in Du Busi Busi's mind, and he had to admit that he was tempted.
The power of the Battle Armor has already been demonstrated on Kong Deming. Du Busi is even fantasizing about whether he could reach the combat power of Limit Douluo if he wore the Battle Armor!
"Call!"
Du Busi let out a breath, trying to calm himself down.
He then asked, "Does Palace Master Kong mean that he is willing to provide my Body Sect with Battle Armor?"
"That's right!"
Kong Deming replied with two words: "If we can cooperate with the Star Luo Empire, then adding the Body Sect is nothing."
Du Busi's breathing became even heavier. Although he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, the Battle Armor was just too tempting.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "What does our Body Sect need to give in return?"
Seeing that the Du Busi killed him, Kong Deming laughed, "Profits move people's hearts. The power of the Battle Armor is bound to attract covetous eyes from many. My Worship Hall has been quite lively these past few days!"
From this sentence, Du Busi guessed Kong Deming's meaning: he wanted the Body Sect to act as a protective force.
If that were all there was to it, it would be acceptable, but is it really that simple?
Of course it's not that simple!
The plan to win over the Body Sect was proposed by Kong Xuan. He valued not only the Body Sect's strength, but also their potential.
The research on Battle Armor is progressing slowly, largely due to the lagging forging process.
There are very few Soul Master have mastered the Thousand Refinement technique, so production capacity is naturally low.
The people of the Body Sect are physically strong and have powerful blood and qi, making them natural-born blacksmiths.
We don't expect them to learn Spirit Forging in the future; as long as they master the Thousand Refinement technique, it will be a great help to the Sun Moon Empire's Battle Armor manufacturing.
Du Busi asked directly, "Palace Master Kong, are you planning to use the power of our Body Sect to protect the secret of the Battle Armor?"
"That's right, what do you think of the Poison Sect's plan?"
Kong Deming's gaze was intense; judging from the other party's previous reactions, Du Busi probably wouldn't refuse.
Instead of answering directly, Du Busi asked with a fierce glint in his eyes, "Isn't Palace Master Kong afraid that after we take the Battle Armor, we might break our promise and even turn against you?"
Kong Deming smiled calmly, "I won't hide it from the Poison Sect Master. I will naturally leave some tricks behind the Battle Armor I provided you. If the Poison Sect Master breaks his promise and attacks us, he will definitely be asking for trouble."
Du Busi never expected Kong Deming to speak of this matter so frankly, but the more he did so, the more he could truly feel Kong Deming's sincerity.
If Kong Deming said something like he believed in their character, then Du Busi would become even more vigilant and cautious.
Seeing that Du Busi was deep in thought, Kong Xuan spoke up, "Senior, the future belongs to Battle Armor. If we master the technology of Battle Armor, we will already be invincible!"
"Even without the Body Sect, we can still find other partners."
"If the Body Sect fails to seize this opportunity, it will be left behind by the times!"
Du Busi remained silent, weighing the pros and cons.
Kong Deming suddenly raised his head and looked at the roof!
The roof of this lounge was unremarkable, so he looked out at the sky Worship Hall the shrine.
