Long Qiu'er and Ma Xiaotao do not possess body martial souls, so there was naturally no need for them to join in. They went ahead to settle Huo Yuhao's luggage.
This appeared to be a practice field where many youths, not particularly old but possessing vigorous blood essence, were currently cultivating. Their movements were neat and uniform, likely some kind of cultivation technique of the Body Sect.
As soon as Du Busi and Huo Yuhao landed, these people gathered around and bowed respectfully to Mr. Du Busi.
The moment Huo Yuhao touched the ground, he felt an oppressive gaze land on him. Following the sensation, he saw an extremely tall young man who looked to be about 15 years old, yet stood nearly 1.9 meters tall. Huo Yuhao actually had to look up to see him.
This youth had brownish-red long hair that hung down naturally. His features weren't conventionally handsome, but carried a certain wicked charm.
However, the most eye-catching thing was his skin; it was incredibly fair, crystalline like jade, and better than most girls' skin, with a faint luster flowing over it.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Mr. Du Busi waved his hand carelessly. "No need for such ceremony. Let me introduce you: this is Huo Yuhao, martial soul Spirit Eye. From now on, he is a member of our Body Sect. Get to know each other."
Huo Yuhao nodded to them. "Hello, fellow disciples. My name is Huo Yuhao."
The youth took a step forward and extended his hand to Huo Yuhao. "Good. Our Body Sect hasn't had fresh blood join in quite a few years. Welcome, Huo Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao also raised his hand to shake. "May I ask for Senior Brother's name?"
The youth said naturally, "Long Aotian, martial soul: Skin."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
What a name...
Noticing Huo Yuhao's strange expression, Long Aotian asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Huo Yuhao replied, "...Nothing. It's a very good name; it suits you well, Senior Brother."
Just then, an extremely pure power surged from the hand he held with Long Aotian.
No, within this power, there wasn't just soul power, but spiritual power mixed in as well! This left Huo Yuhao quite surprised.
One must know that if a soul master wants to truly become a powerhouse, their soul power and spiritual power must be completely integrated. Only those who achieve this have the chance to challenge the threshold of a Level 95 Super Douluo. Otherwise, no matter how good the talent or martial soul, one's achievements would stop at the Titled Douluo level.
What rank was this Long Aotian? His soul power and spiritual power already showed a trend of complete fusion!
This Body Sect truly had its unique strengths.
In truth, Long Aotian's surprise was no less than his.
A 12-year-old Soul Ancestor?
On the surface, Huo Yuhao was just a Soul Ancestor, while he was already a Soul King; his soul power should have suppressed the opponent. However, he found that Huo Yuhao's soul power was incredibly dense. Once his own power entered the other's body, it was suppressed as if it had vanished into the sea.
No... it wasn't just dense soul power. Long Aotian discovered that the strength of his blood essence was also above his own!
Although he hadn't completed the Innate Secret Technique, he had at least undergone advanced studies. His blood essence power should have been unrivaled among his peers; he didn't expect to encounter an opponent now!
Long Aotian released his hand, his eyes burning as he looked at him. "Brother Yuhao, care to give me some pointers?"
"Uh..."
Fighting right as he arrived at the Body Sect—wasn't that a bit improper?
Huo Yuhao looked toward Mr. Du Busi, but to his surprise, Du Busi had the look of someone watching a show. He waved a large hand. "It's fine. You two just have a friendly match."
Alright... since the Sect Master himself said so, Huo Yuhao felt it would be embarrassing to refuse again.
Unexpectedly, the other Body Sect disciples didn't mind this slightly improper brashness; instead, they all looked excited.
"This newcomer's martial soul is also an eye. Gu Tong, do you think he can win?"
The youth named Gu Tong had delicate features and very beautiful eyes, with a hint of shyness on his face.
"I don't know. Anyway, I haven't lasted more than a few rounds against Boss Long. I don't know how many moves this guy can block."
Once Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian stood in their positions, soul rings began to rise from beneath Long Aotian's feet.
Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black.
Five soul rings. Moreover, it was a configuration that exceeded the optimal ratio—a Soul King possessing two ten-thousand-year soul rings.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but nod inwardly in approval. Such a soul ring configuration—aside from Wang Dong, who had a massive background—he hadn't seen many even at Shrek. It was likely that Long Aotian alone could keep the entire younger generation of Shrek from holding their heads up. The Body Sect truly had its methods.
After hesitating for a moment, Huo Yuhao used Simulation to change his soul ring colors to two purple and two black.
The 1,000,000-year-old soul ring and the hundred-thousand-year soul rings were not suitable for showing off right now.
The Body Sect crowd: "..."
Long Aotian wouldn't refrain from attacking just because the opponent's soul ring colors were stronger. His first soul ring flashed, and his body began to bulge slightly, becoming even more muscular than before.
First soul skill: Demonic Ape Transformation. It can enhance the body's strength, speed, and defense.
Simultaneously, his second soul ring shone. His right arm was raised high, his palm held straight like a blade, and his entire arm—along with his body—took on the texture of white jade. When his palm slashed down, his arm elongated and transformed, resembling a sharp, peerless long saber.
A white, gaseous blade-like light was slashed out, cutting toward Huo Yuhao.
The Skin martial soul could be played like this?
Circulating his blood essence power to coat his hand, Huo Yuhao raised his hand and met the blade light with a punch.
Huo Yuhao's figure didn't budge, but that blade light was smashed to pieces.
Long Aotian's eyes lit up. This kid knew the ropes.
He knew that the Body Sect's greatest specialty was physical attacks, so he didn't use his own soul skills to counter, but instead displayed the blood essence power that the Body Sect valued.
In reality, Long Aotian was overthinking it. Huo Yuhao was just afraid that his mental-type soul skills were too powerful and might accidentally kill Long Aotian...
Long Aotian tapped his toes lightly on the ground, gliding across the floor like a shadow, heading straight for Huo Yuhao.
He was fast—even faster than the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step used by Bei Bei, though it lacked a bit of variation.
Long Aotian's third soul ring lit up. A layer of dark gold luster suddenly appeared on the surface of his skin, and his body seemed to grow stronger once more. His jade-white fist came straight for Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao continued to drive the blood essence vortex within him. Surging power pumped to every corner of his body. The fist he threw out seemed to carry a deep blue halo, clashing with Long Aotian's fist and exploding in a dull shockwave.
Long Aotian's frame stiffened slightly, his eyes brightening. The jade-white glow on his body became even more brilliant as he continued to punch. This clash of fists between "true men" produced a series of dull impact sounds in the air!
Bang bang bang... thud thud boom boom—!
The figures of the two blurred within a cloud of dust, their speed getting faster and faster until only afterimages could be seen.
A Body Sect disciple with exceptionally long calves voiced the doubt in everyone's heart. "...Is that really an eye martial soul?"
Beside him, Gu Tong was completely stunned. No, everyone knows about the eye martial soul, so why are you so flashy?! How am I supposed to feel about this?
