Chapter 131: The Establishment of the Body Sect
Seeing that both Niu Gao and Bai He were moved, Yang Xiong decided to fuel the fire.
"Seniors, if you are willing to join, I can guarantee that both of you will break through to Title Douluo level within ten years, or even sooner."
Niu Gao and Bai He were both stunned, and in the distance, Yang Wudi's mouth twitched. After all, this was the same thing Yang Xiong had told him, and he had actually believed it.
Both Niu Gao and Bai He immediately became serious. After cultivating for a lifetime, they had only reached the Soul Douluo level, and their age had already made it clear that their soul power had stagnated. It seemed impossible for them to break through to Title Douluo in their lifetime.
Niu Gao said, "Yang Xiong, you can't speak carelessly. I know my own strength and potential. I'm afraid I'll never break through."
Yang Xiong didn't respond. Instead, he glanced at Yang Wudi.
Yang Wudi spoke up. "Old Niu, Old Bai, you should still believe in Yang Xiong. I am confident that I can break through to Title Douluo within ten years, but of course, that's only possible if you both sincerely join me. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you."
...
After some discussion, Niu Gao and Bai He eventually made up their minds and agreed to join Yang Xiong.
Originally, Yang Xiong hadn't planned to establish the sect so soon, but now that the three single-attribute families were willing to join, it seemed like there was a foundation to start with.
Yang Xiong looked around at the four of them, his expression very serious, and said, "Since everyone has made up their minds, I will not hesitate. From today, the Body Sect is officially established."
"From now on, the main members of the Body Sect will include the Broken One Clan, the Yu Clan, and the Min Clan. Additionally, I will recruit some talented people. Teacher Lin Gong will be the Grand Elder of the Body Sect, Senior Yang Wudi will be the Second Elder, Senior Niu Gao will be the Third Elder, and Senior Bai He will be the Fourth Elder."
"I trust all of you seniors, but I'll say this in advance—anyone who betrays the sect will be killed. I hope everyone will remember this."
Even Yang Wudi, who had been seated as the most important person, stood up. The four of them all bowed to Yang Xiong and said in unison, "We greet the Sect Master. We will not fail your expectations."
Lin Gong, who had been silently observing the situation, couldn't help but follow the others in bowing as well, especially since his title as the Grand Elder of the Body Sect had been officially recognized.
Yang Wudi then asked with some confusion, "Sect Master Yang, since the Body Sect has been established, how should we interact with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect going forward?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "It's still too early. My strength is too weak right now. The Body Sect shouldn't make too much noise. Only the five of us should know about the establishment of the sect for now. Don't tell your clansmen yet, and don't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect know either."
"The world is in chaos, and the Spirit Hall is invincible. They'll probably eventually make a move against all Soul Master factions. We all oppose the Spirit Hall, and we are their enemies, so it's not the time to make a public appearance."
"I'll say this about our actions in the near future: 'Store up grain, delay declaring ourselves king, and build strong walls.'"
Niu Gao looked confused. "Sect Master, what do you mean by that? I, Old Niu, don't quite understand."
The other three looked at Niu Gao with disdain. He certainly appeared to be a brute, or perhaps an illiterate.
Yang Xiong sighed and explained, "Elder Niu, right now we don't want to make a public appearance. So the entire sect will temporarily be located near the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, forming a defensive alliance with them. We'll use their financial resources to develop."
"'Store up grain' means we need to quickly accumulate wealth and Soul Masters. We need to reach at least the level of the Lower Four Sects as soon as possible. Only then can we truly become a Top Three Sect, or even reach the level where we rule the world."
"'Delay declaring ourselves king' means we don't need fame; strength is enough. In this world, strength is fundamental. The reason why the Spirit Hall and Top Three Sects are so powerful is because they have Title Douluos and enough strength. We need strength, but for now, we don't need to be overly famous."
Yang Wudi thought for a moment before speaking. "While that's true, without enough fame, we won't be able to attract many Soul Masters."
"Moreover, every powerful sect has a solid base. Being in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sphere of influence will limit our development."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "We're not going to follow the Spirit Hall's model. The Spirit Hall uses a selection process, absorbing a large number of low-level Soul Masters from the common people, and gradually, these geniuses rise through the ranks to become their middle and upper-level members."
"We are going to follow a streamlined model. We won't compare Soul Master numbers with the Spirit Hall. Every Soul Master we recruit will be an elite, one who is not only strong in combat, but who will become a powerful expert using my training method. You should know that the true determining factor in the world's battles is always the top experts; low-level Soul Masters are just cannon fodder."
"As for our sect's base, I've already considered it. I've found a place, but it's currently occupied by strong people. We might have to wait until our strength is sufficient to contend with them."
After listening to Yang Xiong's plan, everyone slowly understood his thinking. Essentially, they would keep a low profile for now, focus on strengthening themselves, and nurture elite Soul Masters. Once their strength was enough, they could soar to new heights.
However, as Yang Xiong said, if all four Elders were to break through to Title Douluo, they would definitely surpass the Top Three Sects in terms of power. At that point, what would be impossible to achieve?
After some communication, Niu Gao and Bai He, who had originally come to persuade Yang Wudi, were now convinced by Yang Wudi and Yang Xiong. They decided to relocate their families to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Bai He was easier to convince. The Min Clan had always been poor and had fewer assets, so moving was not a big hassle.
However, the Yu Clan, with its expertise in architecture, had more assets, making the relocation more complicated.
Yang Xiong felt a bit helpless and, without much choice, raided Lin Gong's savings, distributing most of the money to the three families.
Seeing the resentful look in Lin Gong's eyes, Yang Xiong could only feel sorry. After all, when he had asked Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Blue Bull Python to help, all the money had been taken by Xiao Wu, leaving him broke except for medicinal herbs and celestial herbs.
After Yang Wudi and the others left, Yang Xiong and Lin Gong finally returned to their room.
At this point, Lin Gong became very serious. "Xiao Xiong, the establishment of your new sect is a very serious matter. Don't you worry that Sect Master Ning and the others will come after you?"
Yang Xiong smiled. "Teacher Lin, it's not that serious. I've brought back three top-tier Soul Douluos and over a thousand Soul Masters for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Sect Master Ning will thank me, not harm me."
Lin Gong replied, "Xiao Xiong, you're thinking too simply. If you establish your own sect, in a certain sense, you're already betraying your sect. No sect will tolerate such behavior."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "If it were any other sect, I definitely wouldn't do this. It would be like courting death. But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is different."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a support-type sect, and its core martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower, which lacks offensive power."
"Though Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo have always been the pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they will eventually grow old and pass away. In the future, the Body Sect will be a purely battle-focused sect, and combining support-type and battle-type Soul Masters is the best synergy."
"Moreover, Teacher Lin, you've overestimated the current situation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. The Spirit Hall has been eyeing the Top Three Sects, but Haotian Sect has stayed silent, and the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan has been hiding for years. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is essentially isolated."
"Now that the Body Sect is appearing, we'll be allies with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. By cooperating and relying on each other, we can survive for thousands of years. Otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will eventually face destruction."
Lin Gong sighed. "Well, you have your own ideas and ambitions. As an old man, I can only follow along and see if you truly can create the so-called Body Sect."
Yang Xiong smiled. "It's all thanks to your support, Teacher Lin. But you're not old at all. Given your age, if you break through to Title Douluo, your lifespan should increase significantly. So you're not really an old man yet."
Lin Gong's face darkened. "You little brat dare to mock me. It's been too long since I've had to educate you. And as for your Body Sect, you've taken all my money! That was my retirement fund!"
Yang Xiong quickly responded, "Teacher Lin, I'll take care of you in the future. You don't need retirement money. Besides, you're still young, and this is the time to fight. Why are you talking about retirement so soon?"
Lin Gong rolled his eyes. "I feel like you're digging a hole for me. Relying on you for my retirement? I'd be better off depending on myself. If you hadn't made me so angry, I might have lived a few more years."
Yang Xiong seemed to remember something. "Teacher Lin, besides the three single-attribute families, do you think you can help me recruit others? I feel like our strength is still not enough."
Lin Gong's face darkened. "What do you mean by that? I've been at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for decades, and I don't have many connections left. Most of my old friends are either dead or I haven't contacted them in years."
Lin Gong paused and then seemed to realize something. "Wait a minute, you don't expect me to recruit that Meng Shu guy, do you? The Meng family may have some power, but I've already fallen out with Meng Shu."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Lord Long Gong has been at level 88 for many years. If I can find a way to help him break through to Title Douluo, do you think he'd be willing to join the Body Sect?"
