Chapter 130: The Vision for a New Sect
After Niu Gao released the pressure, he looked at Yang Xiong with some confusion and asked, "Yang Xiong, your physical condition seems unusual for a Soul Master. Who did you learn body cultivation from?"
Yang Xiong smiled and replied, "Senior, you flatter me. My teachers are Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. As for my body cultivation methods, I learned them from my teacher, Bone Douluo."
Niu Gao's face lit up with understanding. "So it's Bone Douluo. No wonder your physical strength is so formidable. In terms of defense alone, Bone Douluo is probably unmatched in the world. It's a pity the Bone Dragon martial soul is so rare."
...
The room fell silent, as it was clear that both Niu Gao and Bai He were reluctant to see Yang Wudi and the Broken One Clan leave.
The three single-attribute families in the Star Luo Empire had always helped each other, relying on one another for the past decade, which had allowed them to thrive. Now, with the Broken One Clan suddenly leaving, the Yu Family and the Min Family would be lost, especially the Min Family.
Yang Xiong had always found it strange that the Min Family, a rare family of pure agility-type Soul Masters, possessed the Sharp-tailed Swallow martial soul, which was said to be the fastest martial soul in the world. Yet, in the original text, the Min Family was portrayed as tragic. Yang Xiong felt that the Min Family must have been more powerful than depicted, and it was unlikely that they had no offensive capabilities at all.
Especially Bai He, as a top-tier Soul Douluo, could easily deal with mountain bandits or robbers, and his life would undoubtedly be very prosperous. How could they have ended up so miserable?
Yang Wudi finally spoke up, "Yang Xiong, I just spoke with Old Niu and Old Bai. If your strength is impressive enough and you can consider the future of their two families, they might be willing to follow us to the Heaven Dou Empire."
Yang Xiong was puzzled. While he had a good rapport with Yang Wudi, and had already given two celestial herbs, which meant the entire Broken One Clan would be following him and would likely become the core of his new sect in the future, the Min Family and Yu Family weren't so easily swayed. To put it bluntly, these two families might not even be worth two celestial herbs, and while he could use the herbs to influence them, the future remained uncertain.
Yang Xiong's primary reason for seeking Yang Wudi's help had been the celestial herb knowledge, not the other benefits. After all, it was a hefty price to pay for two celestial herbs.
But now, Yang Wudi was winking at him, a completely different demeanor from his usual straightforward character.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but sigh. "Senior Niu Gao, Senior Bai He, I'll be honest. I plan to establish a new sect in the future. This sect won't be entirely dependent on anyone. Instead, it will revolve around me, with the Broken One Clan as its main force, and I will also absorb some free Soul Masters, including Teacher Lin Gong."
"Eventually, this new sect will form a mutually beneficial alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We will rely on their financial and other resources, and even form a defensive alliance."
Both Niu Gao and Bai He looked even more confused. This didn't sound like the plan Yang Wudi had described, because if what Yang Xiong was saying was true, the two families would essentially follow him and even take him as their leader.
At this moment, Yang Wudi coughed lightly, drawing attention. "Cough! Old Niu, Old Bai, Yang Xiong is one of the main reasons I'm willing to go to the Heaven Dou Empire. From now on, Yang Xiong will be the leader of my new sect. Are you two willing to consider joining this new sect? Perhaps in the future, your families will receive new development."
Niu Gao was confused. "Old Mountain Goat, are you feeling dizzy? This Yang Xiong may have good talent, but is he worth the whole family's investment?"
"You know, although the Star Luo Empire's royal family is oppressive, we've been developing fairly well over the years. Leaving abruptly might not be the best move."
Yang Wudi was silent for a while before speaking up. "Alright, I'll be direct. We're all part of the same group now."
"Though Yang Xiong is still young, his combat power and other abilities are exceptional. He even has his own plans for development. I believe that if our three single-attribute families come together with Yang Xiong at the core, we'll be able to create a powerful sect unlike any before, one that could even rival the Top Three Sects."
Niu Gao and Bai He exchanged glances, their expressions full of disbelief. Hearing such words from the usually direct and proud Yang Wudi was surprising. Could it be that this old goat was actually swayed by this kid?
In truth, Yang Xiong hadn't wanted to communicate too much with Niu Gao and Bai He at first. These two weren't very influential, and unlike Tang San, he didn't have a powerful background or a business model involving hidden weapons. Trying to get them to join his sect was a huge gamble, and the cost would be significant.
For example, to win over the Broken One Clan, both he and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have to make considerable sacrifices. The money alone spent on medicinal collaborations would be no small amount.
After thinking for a long time, Yang Xiong finally spoke. "Seniors, I plan to establish a new sect. If you're willing, I can help resolve all the issues, including financial resources."
"But my current strength is still too weak, and I'm too young. I'm only looking to accumulate resources for now. Both the sect's name and the training model will change over time. It will take almost ten years before it can officially emerge on the mainland."
"You two are veterans of the Soul Master world, and I'm sure many forces are trying to recruit you. I understand that this might come as a surprise, but I hope you will consider joining the new sect I'm establishing. This way, you won't have to depend on anyone else."
Niu Gao replied, "Kid, do you know what a sect truly needs? The only sects that can endure through the years rely either on a powerful family or on immense wealth. Ultimately, they need the inheritance of Soul Masters, something you probably lack right now."
"And right now, you're just a genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Establishing a sect is still too far off for you. You don't have the strength to convince anyone yet."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Since we're being honest, I will have the inheritance. I will create a new cultivation model, one focused on physical cultivation."
"The Yu Family's Ironclad Rhinoceros martial soul is known as one of the strongest defensive martial souls, but in terms of defense, my teacher, Bone Douluo, is the true master. This isn't just about martial soul inheritance—it's about cultivation methods."
"The Min Family is said to have the fastest martial soul in the world, but they lack offensive abilities. I have created several soul skills that can compensate for the Min Family's shortcomings, and in terms of speed, I'm no weaker than any Soul Master of the Min Family's level."
"Of course, if both of you are willing to lead your families into my new sect, I'll gladly teach you everything I know. But you should also understand, within the sect, everything will be based on mutual benefit. No one will suffer for the sake of others. I will always consider everyone's interests, and I expect unity within the sect. Once a choice is made, there will be no turning back."
...
Niu Gao suddenly spoke up, "Yang Xiong, since it's Old Mountain Goat's recommendation, and you've just said the sect will be mutually beneficial, what exactly will the Yu Family gain by joining your new sect?"
Yang Xiong took out a book and handed it to Niu Gao. "This is a defensive technique my teacher, Bone Douluo, created. It's the culmination of his life's work on defense. It should be helpful for the entire Yu Family."
"As for the Min Family, I have created an offensive soul skill called the Spiral Ball, which should make up for your offensive shortcomings. It will even make the Min Family more powerful."
After finishing, Yang Xiong immediately gathered a Spiral Ball in his hand and slammed it into the ground. A pit over a meter deep appeared on the ground.
Bai He, who had been very proud, was now visibly moved. The power of the Spiral Ball was remarkable—it seemed tailor-made for the Min Family.
Niu Gao also looked at the book, "The Way of Defense," with his gaze clearly intrigued. After all, neither the Yu Family nor the Elephant Armor Sect had ever been able to break through to the Title Douluo level. Only Bone Douluo had reached that pinnacle in defense.
Yang Xiong seemed to grow even more excited. "My teachers, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, might be willing to guide both your families. Whether it's the Yu Family's defense or the Min Family's offense, I believe it could lead to a qualitative leap for your families."
...
Niu Gao and Bai He were moved. According to Yang Xiong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would form an alliance in the short term, and at least with their reputation, they wouldn't harm their allies.
Yang Xiong seemed to have thought of something and took out a set of hidden weapons from his soul guide—these were the same weapons Tang San had gifted him, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect provided these to all direct disciples, each worth 10,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Yang Xiong demonstrated the power of the hidden weapons to Niu Gao and Bai He. "This set is called hidden weapons, and it was bought by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a high price. If the Min Family is willing to join, I can persuade the Sect Master to equip all Min Family members with a set. This will certainly make up for their shortcomings."
Niu Gao and Bai He exchanged looks once again, clearly stunned by what they had witnessed. It felt like their previous beliefs were being completely overturned.
At this moment, Niu Gao spoke up, "Yang Xiong, what exactly will your sect be centered around? Will it be based on hidden weapons, defense, or something else?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "None of those. My future sect will be centered around self-created soul skills—using these skills to compensate for everyone's weaknesses. I've already found a new cultivation path for Soul Masters with body-type martial souls. This special martial soul will allow us to shine in the Soul Master world, possibly even rivaling or surpassing the Top Three Sects."
"My new sect will be called the Body Sect, with self-created soul skills as the core. I also refer to it as the Martial Way."
Bai He looked puzzled. "Yang Xiong, based on what you said, will the Martial Way place any restrictions on my Min Family?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "On the contrary, I believe the Min Family has unlimited potential. I value cultivation speed. After research, I've found that many people misunderstand this; Soul Masters seem to think their skills must match their martial soul."
"But I have a completely different view: speed is power. As long as your speed is fast enough, you'll have absolute offensive power."
After saying this, Yang Xiong threw a piece of beast skin into the air, and then his right hand transformed into a blade, quickly slicing through it. Even though it seemed like he wasn't using any strength, the beast skin was immediately torn to pieces.
Everyone was stunned. They hadn't expected Yang Xiong to have such a deep understanding of speed.
With the keen eyes of the three top-tier Soul Douluos, it was clear that Yang Xiong's strike hadn't relied on strength, but on incredible speed combined with some technique. The beast skin, normally tough, had been torn apart instantly, which was truly unbelievable.
Bai He muttered, "Speed is power… Why didn't I think of that before?"
