Tang San closed his eyes and conveyed a command through his spiritual consciousness to Da Ming and Er Ming, who were in the Clear Sky Sect.
The Azure Ox-Tongue Python and the Titan Giant Ape had once sacrificed themselves for him. After he revived them, they gained divine beast power. Although they were no longer bound to him physically, Tang San could still connect with them mentally.
In the lower realm, despite planar restrictions, they temporarily couldn't unleash their divine power. However, Er Ming possessed at least peak Douluo strength, and Da Ming was even at the level of a Limit Douluo.
Furthermore, his bloodline had evolved into the Azure Dragon God bloodline. In the entire Douluo Continent, only a few individuals could stand against them.
After issuing the command, a tall, beautiful woman walked up from behind him. "San Ge, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, Xiao Wu. Just talking to Da Ming and Er Ming, telling them to look after Xiao Qi more on the Douluo Continent," Tang San explained casually.
"Hehe, San Ge is truly a doting father. You don't need to worry. Da Ming and Er Ming have always doted on Xiao Qi the most since she was little. They will definitely take good care of her," Xiao Wu said happily, nestling into Tang San's embrace.
Two days later, Yuwentuo and Poison Undying finally returned to the sect. They had already sent letters back, stating their arrival today. Thus, as soon as they reached the sect gate, they saw Jin Peng leading the crowd waiting outside.
"Welcome back, Sect Master!" There weren't many disciples in the Body Sect, but most were bold and passionate. They shouted in unison, their momentum like an army of thousands. In the past, they wouldn't have specifically waited here, but today was different, for Poison Undying's return would dictate the future direction of the sect.
Since the incident years ago, the Body Sect's overbearing conduct had given it a poor reputation on the continent. After being defeated by the Sea God Pavilion, and with the previous Sect Master, Poison Must Die, being killed by the Dragon God Douluo, the Body Sect had gone into hiding.
Even the secret of supporting the Heaven Dou Empire and becoming its guardian sect was not widely publicized. But today was different. If their Sect Master broke through again, who would they fear? They would emerge from seclusion, stir up heaven and earth, and announce the Body Sect's return to the entire continent!
"Sect Master, you... succeeded?"
The one most anticipating this moment, even more than the elders, was Princess Wina of the Heaven Dou Empire. She deeply understood what Poison Undying's breakthrough meant for the Heaven Dou Empire—it meant confidence.
"Hehe, how could this old man fail? Listen up, all of you! This old man is now the most supreme existence on this continent!" Poison Undying declared proudly. In truth, he exaggerated a bit. He was indeed very strong now, but he had just entered the Limit Douluo realm.
Compared to veteran Limit Douluo like the Twin Black and White Dragons and Ye Xishui, there was still a slight gap in his cultivation. Not to mention the existence of super monsters like the Ice Empress within Yuwentuo's body, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, the Evil Emperor, and the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, as well as hidden figures like Niu Tian of the Clear Sky Sect. He was still a bit away from true peak existence.
However, if Poison Undying wasn't arrogant and conceited, he wouldn't be Poison Undying.
"Amazing! Sect Master has achieved Limit Douluo! What do we need to hide for, Body Sect? Let's kick some ass!" Wang Yanfeng exclaimed passionately.
Those with Body Martial Souls, once they undergo a second awakening, even if it's just the lowest Black Iron rank, would at least possess an upper-middle-grade Martial Soul.
Moreover, many of them possessed Bronze-grade awakenings, and none of the Bronze-grade awakened Body Martial Souls were lower than high-grade Martial Souls. Although the sect's numbers were small, every single one was a talent. Having such powerful Body Martial Souls but forced to hide had stifled them for years.
"Haha, little brats, don't rush. Soon, this old man will take you to do something big. Now, follow me inside!" Poison Undying chuckled.
He walked at the very front, the others following him into the sect.
"Tuo Tuo!"
With a crisp call, Xiao Xiao rushed over and threw herself into Yuwentuo's embrace. Ever since the two confirmed their relationship, she no longer felt any shyness. Having not seen her beloved for four months, her heart was filled with longing.
"Xiao Xiao, after four months, you seem to have grown a bit taller," Yuwentuo said with a smile, gently caressing her black hair. Before, when she hugged him, she would only reach his abdomen at most and had to jump to reach his chest. But now, without tiptoeing, her hair was already level with his chest. She had grown quite a bit.
Are girls who develop later all this formidable? Yuwentuo remembered that in the original work, Xiao Xiao would take at least two years to reach this level of growth. Could it be that the Body Sect's food is better than Shrek's?
"Mm, thanks to the cultivation method Tuo Tuo taught me," Xiao Xiao said with a beaming smile.
"Little Tuo, the cultivation method you taught Xiao Xiao is indeed powerful, with the wondrous effect of improving bones and muscles," Miao Xin said, walking over. "Ever since she began cultivating Soundless Strings, her body has accelerated its growth. This girl naturally has a late-blooming physique, and with the new cultivation method, they complement each other perfectly."
"So that's it. Xiao Xiao's rapid cultivation of Soundless Strings must be due to Senior's guidance. Yuwentuo thanks you deeply for this," Yuwentuo said gratefully.
Miao Xin nodded. "Mm, you're her future husband, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to thank me on her behalf. I'll accept your gratitude then." Miao Xin indeed seemed very fond of Xiao Xiao, not forgetting to bring her closer to Yuwentuo even at a time like this.
Yuwentuo smiled, looking at Xiao Xiao in his arms and said, "Xiao Xiao, later I'll give you a gift that will further your cultivation. For now, let's go to the Body Sect Hall. The Sect Master has an important announcement."
"Okay, Tuo Tuo!"
The two held hands and followed the main group.
Once everyone entered the sect, the disciples lined up in orderly rows. Poison Undying, as the Sect Master, naturally sat at the very top.
On either side were five seats each, occupied by the sect's ten elders. Long Aotian, as the Young Sect Master, stood beside Poison Undying. Wina, being the direct disciple of the Second Elder, the Divine Brain Douluo, naturally stood behind her.
As for Yuwentuo and Xiao Xiao, they stood behind the Tenth Elder, the Spirit Douluo Miao Xin. Although she hadn't formally taken Xiao Xiao as a disciple, they had the practical relationship of master and disciple.
She had been teaching Xiao Xiao during this period, and the sect disciples subconsciously assumed Xiao Xiao was Spirit Douluo's direct disciple. Yuwentuo, as Xiao Xiao's boyfriend, could be said to have benefited from his girlfriend's status this time, not having to stand with the ordinary disciples.
Poison Undying said in a deep voice, "My children of the Body Sect, I ask you, why was our Body Sect forced into near-seclusion?"
"Because of Shrek, because of the Sea God Pavilion!" the crowd roared in unison. It was the Sea God Pavilion that had defeated the Body Sect back then, forcing them to retreat and hide in these mountains.
"I ask you again, who killed our previous Sect Master?"
"It was the Sea God Pavilion Master, Dragon God Douluo Mu En!"
"Good, my third question to you, who crippled your Junior Brother Yuwentuo for six years?"
"Shrek Academy's Dean Yan Shaozhe, and his disciple Ma Xiaotao!"
Poison Undying's three questions, and the crowd's three answers, instantly ignited the sect's passionate atmosphere to its peak.
At this moment, Poison Undying asked the final question, "Then, which force will be the first one our Body Sect takes on after emerging from seclusion?"
"Shrek, Sea God Pavilion! Shrek, Sea God Pavilion! Shrek, Sea God Pavilion!"
Three consecutive roars expressed the determination of all the sect's disciples.
Poison Undying slapped his seat and stood up. "That's right, Shrek, Sea God Pavilion, they are the first targets I'm going after! Ten Elders, listen to my command!
Help me deliver a challenge letter to that Dragon God Douluo Mu En! I will challenge him to a one-on-one duel, and with his blood, I will tell the world that our Body Sect has emerged from seclusion!!!"
