Chapter 71 Preparing to Go Out, Makino Goes into Seclusion
"Master, do you mean that Shrek Academy is keeping our Body Sect's secret techniques hidden from us?"
Aruheng's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and a hint of indifference flashed in his copper bell-like eyes.
"That's right, I suspect that's the case, but ever since that upheaval ten thousand years ago, our Body Sect has been declining. As for whether it's true or not, none of the successive sect leaders of the Body Sect have had the strength to verify it."
Makino nodded slightly, his expression somewhat wistful.
Ten thousand years ago, the Sun and Moon Empire attacked the three former empires. Their Body Sect, which was then the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, was destroyed. The sect leader of the Body Sect, Du Busi, led the powerful figures from the three former empires to assassinate Xu Tianran, the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire at that time.
Before his assassination attempt, Du Busi had already foreseen his death, so he handed over the secret of his true form to Lingbing Douluo Huo Yuhao in advance. He allowed Huo Yuhao to look through it, hoping that Huo Yuhao would pass on the secret of his true form to anyone he encountered in the future.
This Secret of the Body encompasses the combat techniques researched by the Body Sect over thousands of years, which can be considered the foundation of the sect, and it also greatly helps Huo Yuhao's second golden-level awakening of his Body Martial Soul.
However, after inheriting the Godhood of Emotions and breaking through to the God level, Huo Yuhao did not seek out the person with the original spirit, but instead directly handed over the secret of the original spirit to Shrek Academy...
This led to a series of subsequent events.
"Master, what is rightfully ours will eventually be ours, and what they have taken from us will be returned to us tenfold."
Jiang Xiu's gaze was deep as he spoke calmly.
Back then, Du Busi and Huo Yuhao's relationship could be considered a combination of agreement and transaction. Huo Yuhao would look through the Body Sect's accumulated wisdom and use its contents to complete the gold-level awakening of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, but in return, he would have to find a new spark for the Body Sect. However, Huo Yuhao broke his promise.
If Shrek Academy really continues to hoard their Body Sect's combat techniques, then once he has enough strength, he will have to go and demand an explanation.
"Well, we can talk about these things later. The most important thing is for you fellow disciples to grow up."
Mu Ye gave Jiang Xiu a deep look, then waved his hand to end the topic; it was too early to talk about these things now.
Shrek Academy is now at its zenith, and apart from the Sun Moon Federation, it is no exaggeration to call it the number one power on the continent, while their Body Sect is now just a fallen abode.
"Master, I want to go out and gain some experience in a week, to see the outside world."
At this moment, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, and he made a soft request.
Wu Changkong and Tang Wulin's trip to Tiandou City was a golden opportunity that couldn't be missed. Now that he possessed the power of [Descent] and the Ant Queen, he couldn't afford to give up this chance.
"Sure, going out for a walk is a good idea. It'll save you from being cooped up in the sect all day cultivating. Do you need your master to come with you?"
Upon hearing Jiang Xiu's request, Mu Ye pondered for a moment and then agreed. In the past four years, Jiang Xiu had spent his time cultivating and forging metals, and had basically never left the Body Sect. It was a good thing for him to go out and see the world.
After all, a calm sea cannot produce excellent sailors.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I can go by myself. You won't be able to protect me all the time in the future."
Seeing that Mu Ye agreed, Jiang Xiu smiled slightly, but shook his head and refused.
The matter of seizing the Golden Dragon King's essence must not be known to anyone before success, not even the closest people, because it is not only an opportunity but also a disaster.
"Alright, take care of yourself. When you leave, I'll prepare some soul-guided weapons for you."
Makino seemed to have expected this and was not surprised. He then pointed to the door and said.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, hurry up and go out. Na'er is probably getting impatient."
Jiang Xiu and Aruheng exchanged a glance, smiled, opened the door, and went out.
"It smells so good! It'll get cold soon if I don't drink it now, and it won't taste as good when it's cold..."
When Jiang Xiu arrived at the main hall, he saw Na'er standing beside the chicken soup, muttering to herself as if she was trying her best to restrain herself, but she was clearly impatient.
"Na'er, come with me to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks. We're about to eat."
Jiang Xiu came to Na'er's side, smiled and patted her lightly, then pulled her towards the kitchen.
"Slurp, good!"
Na'er's beautiful eyes lit up immediately, and she followed closely beside Jiang Xiu, while Aruheng went to the kitchen to bring over the food that had already been prepared.
As the hot dishes were served and everyone took their seats, the aroma filled the air, transforming the originally cool and quiet main hall into a warm and harmonious space.
Na'er's little hands were incredibly fast; she engaged in a verbal battle with the group of scholars and single-handedly devoured the entire feast.
In no time at all, the four of them finished their delicious meal, and Na'er's pretty face showed no sign of dissatisfaction with the enjoyment.
If I could live this kind of life every day, I'd be willing to let my cultivation level increase for no reason.
"Eat and drink your fill, then go to sleep..."
"Go study."
Seeing Na'er preparing to leave gracefully, Jiang Xiu reached out to stop her and pointed to the forging room.
He hadn't forgotten the task that Teacher Zhenhua had given him, and there would also be a federal-level blacksmith competition in the second half of the year, in which Na'er would also be participating.
"All right."
When Na'er realized that her intentions had been seen through, the ahoge on her little head drooped down instantly. She really didn't want to learn forging or anything like that.
After resting for a while, Na'er followed Jiang Xiu toward the forging room, while Aruheng continued to train his body.
"I never imagined that I, the sect master, could absorb a divine herb. Super Douluo? No! I, the sect master, will aim for Limit Douluo."
After returning to his room, Mu Ye looked at the tenth-grade immortal mushroom lying quietly in the jade box, sighed slightly, and then his eyes became firm.
Now that he has this opportunity, he must cherish it. At his level, he cannot be confined to the Super Douluo realm. For those true veteran powerhouses, the Limit Douluo realm is the threshold that allows him to directly face them.
"Come on! Let me, the sect master, test the limits!"
Mu Ye picked up the tenth-grade immortal mushroom, swallowed it according to the instructions, and instantly activated the Flawless Golden Body Technique. A hazy purple aura gradually covered it, and the sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls faintly emanated from within his body.
As time passed, evening arrived in the blink of an eye.
"What?! Boss, you're going away for a month?!"
In the spacious courtyard, Na'er and Jiang Xiu sat under the dappled shade of the trees, enjoying the gentle breeze.
When Na'er heard that Jiang Xiu was going out, her pretty face suddenly froze, and her fair hands clenched together. "Do you want me to go with you? Maybe I can help."
"It's nothing, just some personal matters. It's not like we're going out to fight or cause trouble. Why are you so nervous?" Jiang Xiu picked up an orange and handed it to Na'er, chuckling as he spoke.
"Are you really not needed?" Na'er stared intently at Jiang Xiu with her purple eyes, as if trying to see through him, and asked in an extremely serious tone.
"Just wait for me to come back, nothing will happen."
Jiang Xiu lowered his eyes and said, as if he were making a promise to Na'er, or as if he were talking to himself.
His trip presents both great opportunities and even greater risks.
But similarly, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!
