Although Yuwen Tuo hadn't yet undergone the formal sect entry ceremony after his promise in the soul guide car, everyone already regarded him as a member of the Body Sect.
At this moment, the group was observing his second martial soul, the Xuanyuan Sword Soul, with great interest. Here, Apart from Jiang Peng and Yu Yuanzheng, everyone else was a Body Martial Soul user.
Especially Poison Undead, who was currently the foremost expert in Body Martial Souls. They could naturally all discern that this seemingly tool-type martial soul, the Xuanyuan Sword, was actually connected to Yuwen Tuo's spiritual sea and inseparable, confirming it was indeed a Body Martial Soul.
"This old man has traversed the continent for a hundred years, and it's my first time seeing such a unique Body Martial Soul, the Xuanyuan Sword Soul. The Body Martial Soul is truly wondrous," Yu Yuanzheng stroked his chin, marveling. "So a person's soul can also be a sword like this!"
Yuwen Tuo's face was covered in black lines. Was this Thunder Douluo simple-minded, or was he intentionally calling him cheap
Poison Undead chuckled, "Haha, Old Heavenly Dragon, what's so special about this? I've noticed that this child's martial soul is already affecting his body. Perhaps his body itself has some slight connection to this sword. One day, once I help this child complete his second awakening, he will truly become one with the sword, becoming the strongest sword-person. The name Yuwen Tuo will surely resound throughout the world."
"Sect Master, can you use a different word?" Yuwen Tuo finally couldn't help but ask. The praises from these powerful individuals always sounded like insults.
Yu Yuanzheng was like this, Ice Empress was like this, and now Poison Undead was also like this.
"Uh... then, sword-man?" Poison Undead pondered and said.
Whether it was bitch or human traitor, Poison Undead's vocabulary was truly somewhat limited.
"Can't you give me a more pleasant title, like Sword Lord or something? Forget it, the important thing now is the second awakening," Yuwen Tuo no longer considered nicknames and asked Poison Undead, "Sect Master, when do you plan to help me complete my second awakening?"
"When you reach five rings. Although a second awakening is possible now, the higher your cultivation, the deeper your foundation will be," Poison Undead said. "Many people only know that my Body Sect possesses the secret method of second awakening, divided into Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers."
"In fact, what the world doesn't realize is that our Body Sect's Body Martial Soul's second awakening can evolve further. The strongest innate second awakening can only reach the Silver tier at most, while the Gold tier should actually be considered a third awakening. Only Soul Masters who have completed the Silver tier awakening have the chance to evolve into the Gold tier when their cultivation breaks through the Titled Douluo realm.
Tuo'er, currently, only two people in the entire sect have achieved the Gold tier third awakening: myself and Vice Sect Master Jin Peng. I hope that you, Aotian, and Nana can also achieve it. Once the Body Martial Soul awakens to the Gold tier, its combat power can at least double or even triple. By then, what is a Phoenix of Extreme Fire, in front of a Gold-tier third awakening Body Martial Soul, would be nothing more than that."
Poison Undead valued Yuwen Tuo's innate Rank 20 soul power.
In terms of his innate talent, physique, and martial soul quality, he was significantly stronger than Poison Undead himself was at the same age. If not for those bastards from Shrek wasting six years of his time, his current rank would definitely be stronger, not weaker, than Long Aotian's.
Having harmed a genius of his Body Sect, Poison Undead had firmly remembered this debt. He believed that both Yuwen Tuo and Long Aotian would definitely be able to complete the Golden Awakening of their Body Martial Souls. By then, the Body Sect had hope of rising.
After two days of travel by soul guide vehicle, they finally arrived in the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
These past few days, Xiao Xiao had already become like a close girlfriend to Vina. In the original story, their relationship was already good.
Yuwen Tuo remembered that when Vina first appeared, she was being ambushed by a group of monkey-type soul beasts, but was rescued by Xiao Xiao at a critical moment.
This time, there was certainly no life-saving grace, but the sympathetic camaraderie between friends was also quite good.
Yu Yuanzheng disembarked near Dragon City, while Yuwen Tuo and the others arrived at a city close to Heavenly Dou City.
Xiao Xiao asked, confused, "Sister Vina, aren't we going to Heavenly Dou City?" Heavenly Dou City was the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Since they had entered the Heavenly Soul Empire, shouldn't they first pay their respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire?
"Sister Xiao Xiao, I don't recommend you go to Heavenly Dou City. You are joining the Body Sect, not directly the Heavenly Soul Empire's court. Unless my Imperial Father summons you, you shouldn't go to Heavenly Dou City casually. It will bring you trouble," Vina said helplessly.
Xiao Xiao felt a bit strange. For any princess of any nation, wouldn't their first reaction upon seeing dual martial soul geniuses like her and Yuwen Tuo be to recruit them into their own forces? Why did Princess Vina seem to approve more of the Body Sect than of the Heavenly Soul court?
Seeing Vina looking a bit weary when mentioning the Heavenly Soul court, Long Aotian said with concern, "Are your brothers still the same? If it's really unbearable, you don't have to worry so much. After all, you're just a princess, not the Crown Prince."
In his heart, everything about the Heavenly Soul Empire was good.
Although the Emperor couldn't be called a sagacious ruler, he was a virtuous and conservative monarch, just without much foresight. After the Body Sect became a protector sect, its top-tier Soul Master power was no weaker than any other nation.
And then there was Vina, who possessed a brain-type martial soul and had an eidetic memory. Besides Soul Master cultivation, she excelled in military strategy, political maneuvering, and military tactics.
The only problem was that she was a girl and couldn't inherit the throne. Her imperial brothers were all weak and incompetent, only capable of vying for power and profit. Much of the domestic pressure actually fell upon this princess.
Vina smiled and said, "It's alright, Aotian, I'm not tired. This is my responsibility as a princess."
Yuwen Tuo also remembered that in the original story, when the Heavenly Soul Empire was on the brink of collapse, only this princess traveled all over the continent to gather allies, rushing about to protect her country. Even after the death of her fiancé broke her heart, she still bravely persevered.
She even considered selling herself to Huo Yuhao later to gain his assistance.
Meanwhile, her imperial brothers were nowhere to be seen, likely busy contending for power and profit after His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire died. This gave the Sun Moon Empire an opportunity.
The Sun Moon Empire's army intensified its invasion of the Heavenly Soul Empire, which eventually led to the complete fall of its territory, and most of the Heavenly Soul imperial family members also died in the great war, making it the first of the three nations to be annihilated.
Princess Vina was fortunate to be rescued by members of the Body Sect, who saved her the day before the capital was breached. After that, she was forced to wander abroad, becoming an exiled princess. She never succeeded in restoring her country.
Yuwen Tuo stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister Vina, you don't wish for us to get involved in Heavenly Soul's power struggles, do you?"
Vina looked at Yuwen Tuo with surprise. "Junior Brother is truly intelligent to have predicted this! You are correct. Once you enter the Heavenly Soul Empire's court, with your talent, you will inevitably become a target for those people, either to be eliminated or to be drawn in.
You are still young; you only need to focus on diligently cultivating. Do not get too involved in those schemes and intrigues; it will only affect your cultivation progress."
"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Yuwen Tuo nodded. He understood that Vina was right; even if he were to intervene in the Heavenly Soul Empire, now was not the time. He was too weak now; he lacked the ability to interfere in state affairs.
However, once he became stronger, he was very interested in one position: inheriting his master's legacy. His master was Yuwen Tuo. As the saying goes...
Invincible Yuwen Tuo, turning the tide as a Grand Tutor.
Yuwen Tuo was not interested in the throne; he had no desire for power. Even if he wanted to establish a sect, he wouldn't recruit disciples on a large scale.
Just a few people, to carry on the name of Ghost Valley, would suffice. But he was very interested in the position of Grand Tutor Yuwen. This would be inheriting his master's mantle, and simply having the name would be enough; no real power was needed.
His current dream was to quickly become strong and achieve godhood, then save people, seek revenge, and repay kindness. Firstly, to rescue the elders of Shiwawa Village; secondly, to avenge Shrek and the Evil Soul Masters; thirdly,
to repay the kindness of Vina and the Body Sect, assisting them in defending their nation and sect.
It was too late now to begin developing war soul guides for Heavenly Soul. The Sun Moon Empire would launch a war in not many years. Since they couldn't compete technologically, Yuwen Tuo could only break them with brute force.
