Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 75: No One Understands the Body Martial Soul Better Than the Body Sect!
Xu Jiawei did not expect that the Sun Moon Team could take down the Dou Spirit Team so quickly. Even if the Dou Spirit Team failed to use their trump cards, the Dou Spirit Imperial Advanced Soul Master Academy—being the premier academy in the Dou Spirit Empire—still possessed considerable strength without resorting to their secret abilities.
However, under such circumstances, the Dou Spirit Team was decisively defeated by the Sun Moon Team, leading to an unexpectedly quiet audience area that normally buzzed with noise.
Fortunately, there were not many representatives of the Sun Moon Empire present to celebrate; otherwise, the audience would have erupted in cheers, champagne in hand.
Xuan Zi held the wine gourd in one hand and remarked, "The strength of the Sun Moon Team is indeed beyond our imagination. Their confidentiality efforts are exceptional, making it difficult for us to gather complete information on these contestants. However, due to the restrictions of the new regulations on soul guidance devices, they were forced to reveal some of their cards."
Xu Jiawei smiled. "Master Xuan, knowing some of their trump cards now gives me an idea for our tactics. Next, I will collaborate with Jiujiu on our strategy. Don't worry; the Star Luo Team will take down the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy in one fell swoop!"
In the audience area, students from the Heavenly Soul Advanced Soul Master Academy gathered together, enviously glancing at the cloaked man not far away, rumored to be Princess Wei Na's fiancé. Princess Wei Na held significant prestige in the Heavenly Soul Empire and had the potential to become an empress one day.
Naturally, these students felt a twinge of jealousy toward the man in the cloak, who could marry into the imperial family and enjoy a life of leisure for decades.
Long Aotian, still cloaked, observed Huo Yuhao and other members of the Sun Moon Team as they exited the competition stage.
Thoughts surged through his mind: "According to the intelligence, this young man is named Huo Yuhao. He possesses a true body martial soul, and his martial soul takes the form of eyes. Huo Yuhao played an indispensable role in the Sun Moon Team's victory over Dou Spirit Academy! The sudden defeat of the two Soul Kings must be related to him!
With the talent he has displayed, he is considered an extraordinary individual even within the Body Sect! So, this is truly genius!
But why is he part of the Sun Moon Team? Normally, bearers of body martial souls would join our Body Sect—we are the experts in cultivating such martial souls. Could it be that the Sun Moon Empire has deceived him, leveraging his youth and inexperience to draw him to their side?
What an ambitious Sun Moon Empire! You deserve to perish! Snatching such a genius—it's like burying a pearl under dust!"
As the most talented member of the younger generation from the Body Sect, he had no intention of merely masquerading as a college student to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition.
Initially, he had been searching for a suitable soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, uninterested in watching the competition—after all, Shrek Academy was the champion every year. It seemed a foregone conclusion.
However, upon learning that Shrek Academy had withdrawn from the competition, his interest was piqued, and he decided to observe this Soul Fighting Competition to see who would ultimately triumph.
Long Aotian certainly did not expect to discover a genius with a body martial soul!
From his observations, he concluded that Huo Yuhao's spiritual soul skill was undoubtedly remarkable!
At that moment, a familiar female voice broke his train of thought. "Aotian, what are you looking at?"
Long Aotian turned to see Wei Na, the princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire and his fiancée. In terms of talent, Wei Na was also among the elite in the Body Sect, boasting Snow Lotus and Brain martial souls.
Long Aotian casually set up a soundproof soul guidance shield to ensure their conversation remained private.
He began, "Wei Na, I've discovered a genius with a body martial soul. I'm eager to invite him to join the Body Sect!
After all, the owners of body martial souls are like family! If he remains with the Sun Moon Empire, it could seriously hinder his future prospects."
Wei Na was momentarily stunned, then pleasantly surprised. Long Aotian, as the chief successor to the leader of the Body Sect, rarely commented on others, especially regarding their genius.
A smile appeared on her face. "Then I'll go with you. I'm worried about you going alone."
Long Aotian shook his head. "There's no need, Wei Na. I have someone to protect me."
Being the chief successor to the leader of the Body Sect, Long Aotian was naturally under the protection of a Titled Douluo.
With Long Aotian's talent, as long as he stayed alive, he would undoubtedly ascend to Super Douluo in the future.
In terms of talent, not even the fourteen-year-old Soul King Xiao Hongchen could compare with Long Aotian.
For any faction, a Super Douluo is an invaluable asset, making it reasonable for the Body Sect to prioritize Long Aotian's safety.
Having realized this, Wei Na refrained from insisting further. She understood Long Aotian was a man with strong opinions and wouldn't meddle in his matters.
Wei Na said softly, "Aotian, come back soon."
"Of course! Don't worry!" Long Aotian nodded and quickly departed.
Just as Huo Yuhao and his group were about to enter the hotel, a voice called out from behind them: "Wait, Huo Yuhao! I need to speak with you!"
Everyone halted and turned to see the speaker.
Huo Yuhao looked at the cloaked man with confusion. "Who are you?"
Long Aotian introduced himself, "I am Long Aotian from the Body Sect. Huo Yuhao, you possess a Body Martial Soul and are exceptionally gifted. Therefore, on behalf of the Body Sect, I formally invite you to join us!"
Upon hearing Long Aotian's words, a whirlwind of thoughts filled Huo Yuhao's mind. He was familiar with the name 'Long Aotian,' a renowned genius in Douluo Dalu II.
While the name Long Aotian might evoke comparisons to pretentious old online novel protagonists, he found it far more palatable than the odd names Beibei and Du Bu Si.
Jing Hongchen's expression changed at this revelation, and he stepped forward to shield Huo Yuhao protectively. "Is the Body Sect trying to poach him now?"
To be honest, Jing Hongchen felt a bit anxious. If Huo Yuhao were taken, Sun Moon would suffer a significant loss, one that he could not explain to Master Kong!
Moreover, humans are not plants or stones; who could be heartless? He had grown to appreciate this "future grandson-in-law" during their time together.
Long Aotian retorted, "Poaching? You're just making excuses!
Everyone knows that our Body Sect is the most qualified to train individuals with Body Martial Souls. Essentially, those who possess them are our family, even if they are living outside!"
As he spoke, he made an accordion gesture, declaring, "No one understands the Body Martial Soul better than our Body Sect!"
Jing Hongchen's expression darkened. While he considered Long Aotian's gesture somewhat sarcastic, he knew that the facts spoke louder than words. On the Douluo Continent, the Body Sect genuinely had the most expertise regarding Body Martial Souls.
