Chapter 75: No One Understands Body Souls Better Than the Body Sect!
Xu Jiawei had never expected the Sun Moon team to defeat Dou Ling so swiftly.
Even though Dou Ling hadn't unleashed their trump card, as the top academy of the Dou Ling Empire, they were far from weak.
But in the face of absolute dominance, Dou Ling was utterly crushed leaving the once boisterous audience as silent as a library.
Fortunately, there weren't many Sun Moon spectators present. Otherwise, they might have already popped champagne in celebration.
Xuan Zi, holding his gourd flask, remarked,
"Sun Moon's strength exceeded our expectations. Their secrecy is impeccable we still don't have full intel on their contestants.
But thanks to the new soul tool regulations, they've been forced to reveal some of their trump cards."
Xu Jiawei's face brightened with a knowing smile.
"Well, Elder Xuan, now that we've seen some of their tricks, I can adjust my strategy accordingly.
Rest assured the Star Luo team will take down the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy!"
In the Audience
The Heavenly Soul Advanced Soul Master Academy students gathered, their gazes full of envy toward a cloaked figure
Rumor had it he was Princess Veena's fiancé.
Truth be told, Princess Veena held immense prestige in the Heavenly Soul Empire.
There was a good chance she'd become Empress one day.
Naturally, this made these students jealous of the cloaked man
After all, marrying into royalty meant skipping decades of struggle.
Under the cloak, Long Aotian fixed his gaze on Huo Yuhao and the Sun Moon team as they left the stage.
His thoughts raced.
"According to intelligence, this boy's name is Huo Yuhao.
He possesses a Body Martial Soul his eyes, specifically.
Sun Moon's victory over Dou Ling was largely due to him.
Those two Soul Kings suddenly collapsing? No doubt, Huo Yuhao was responsible."
"His talent is extraordinary, even by Body Sect standards.
A true prodigy!
But why is he with Sun Moon?
Body Martial Soul users should be joining our Body Sect.
We are the ones who truly understand how to cultivate Body Martial Souls!
Did Sun Moon trick him into joining them while he was young and naïve?
Shameless! The Sun Moon Empire is truly despicable!
They're letting a peerless gem like this go to waste?"
As the Body Sect's number one prodigy, Long Aotian wasn't about to pose as a regular student just to participate in the tournament.
Initially, he had been hunting soul beasts in Star Dou Forest
Watching the Soul Master Tournament hadn't been part of his plans.
After all, every year, the winner was always Shrek Academy boring and predictable.
But when he learned Shrek had withdrawn, his interest piqued.
He decided to attend and see who would seize victory.
Unexpectedly, he discovered a Body Soul prodigy!
Through careful observation, Long Aotian was certain
Huo Yuhao's mental soul skills were anything but ordinary.
Princess Veena Notices
A soft female voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Aotian… what are you looking at?"
Long Aotian turned to see Princess Veena.
As the Heavenly Soul Empire's princess, she was also his fiancée.
Among Body Sect members, Veena was among the most talented, possessing the Snow Lotus Brain martial soul.
Long Aotian activated a soundproof soul tool, ensuring their conversation remained private.
He then spoke directly,
"Veena, I've found a Body Martial Soul prodigy.
I want to recruit him into the Body Sect.
He belongs with us not with Sun Moon.
Staying in Sun Moon will only hinder his future."
Veena blinked in surprise.
As the Body Sect's heir, Long Aotian was proud and powerful
He almost never acknowledged others as geniuses.
A smile spread across her lips.
"Then I'll go with you.
I'd be worried if you went alone."
Long Aotian shook his head.
"No need, Veena. I have protection."
As the Body Sect's future leader, Long Aotian was heavily guarded by Title Douluos.
With his talent, he was a future Super Douluo guaranteed.
Even Xiao Hongchen, a 14 year old Soul King, couldn't compare.
To any faction, a Super Douluo was an irreplaceable force.
Ensuring Long Aotian's safety was the Body Sect's top priority.
Veena sighed but didn't press the issue.
She knew Aotian was decisive once he made up his mind, he wouldn't change it.
With a soft voice, she said,
"Aotian… just come back soon."
Long Aotian nodded.
"Of course."
Then he swiftly departed.
Sun Moon Team Intercepted
Just as Huo Yuhao's group was about to enter their hotel, a voice rang out behind them.
"Wait! Huo Yuhao, I need to speak with you!"
The group stopped and turned toward the speaker.
Huo Yuhao looked at the cloaked man, confused.
"And you are?"
Long Aotian got straight to the point.
"I am Long Aotian of the Body Sect.
Huo Yuhao, your martial soul is a Body Martial Soul, and you have extraordinary talent.
On behalf of the Body Sect, I formally invite you to join us!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's mind spun.
Long Aotian he knew that name well.
A famous prodigy in Soul Land 2.
Sure, his name sounded like a typical overpowered web novel protagonist, but compared to names like Beibei and Du Busi, it wasn't that bad.
Immediately, Jing Hongchen's expression changed.
He stepped forward, placing himself between Long Aotian and Huo Yuhao.
"The Body Sect is stealing talent now?"
Jing Hongchen felt uneasy.
If Huo Yuhao defected, Sun Moon would suffer a massive loss.
And how would he explain this to Elder Kong?
Besides, over the past few months, Jing Hongchen had grown fond of Yuhao
He wouldn't let him go so easily.
Long Aotian's expression darkened.
"Stealing? You're twisting words!
Everyone knows we of the Body Sect are the true masters of cultivating Body Martial Souls!
Any Body Soul user is our family!"
Then, with an exaggerated motion, he spread his arms like a conductor leading an orchestra and declared
"No one understands Body Martial Souls better than the Body Sect!"
Jing Hongchen's face twitched.
This guy's gesture felt infuriatingly smug
And as much as he wanted to argue…
The truth was undeniable.
The Body Sect really did understand Body Martial Souls better than anyone else.
