"Mn, stay true to one's heart."
Wang Lin nodded and continued.
"I kill with a blade; the one killing is me, not the blade.
The world won't judge the blade, only me.
If one blindly judges a Soul Master just because their martial soul attribute is evil, that is the most evil thing in the world.
Just like Master said, a martial soul is just a martial soul."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Peng was directly stunned.
"Good disciple!"
Long Xiaoyao beside him couldn't help but praise.
The look he gave Wang Lin carried appreciation and surprise.
Clearly, he hadn't expected Wang Lin to have such insight.
"You flatter me, Master."
Wang Lin scratched his head.
As a transmigrator, I still understand this bit of logic.
Long Xiaoyao nodded.
He raised his hand and beckoned, and a brand new book appeared in his hand.
He threw the book directly to Wang Lin.
"Take it. This old man prepared it for you."
Clap!
The book landed in his hand.
Wang Lin looked down and couldn't help but reach out to touch the four large characters "Secret of the Body" on the book cover.
Looking at the ink that had just stained his finger, Wang Lin was convinced that the characters "Secret of the Body" had just been written.
He inevitably found it hard to keep a straight face.
"Master, you didn't just make this up, did you?"
"What are you thinking? Didn't you notice the phenomenon in the east this morning? This is what that kid Du Busi voluntarily wrote for this old man after a friendly consultation where he admitted defeat."
Long Xiaoyao glared immediately.
If not for this disciple, having not appeared in the world for many years, why would he run over to fight Du Busi and even pay a considerable price?
So he robbed him!
Criticizing inwardly, Wang Lin felt relieved.
He hadn't expected that Long Xiaoyao would be willing to go rob Du Busi for him, a newly accepted disciple, and actually succeed.
To say he wasn't touched would be a lie.
As expected of a top-tier powerhouse on the continent, his style of doing things is tough.
"Thank you, Master."
Wang Lin thanked him and hurriedly opened the brand new "Secret of the Body" in his hand.
The opening chapter was a message written by the Body Sect Master in vigorous and powerful, ancient and majestic calligraphy.
"Long Xiaoyao's disciple, although I don't know who you are, I believe in the old black dragon's character. Except for when it comes to (smudged)..."
???
Why are there traces of alteration here?
Wang Lin stared at the traces of alteration and could vaguely make out the word "woman" within them.
Confused, he was just about to look up and ask.
However, he found that Long Xiaoyao currently had his eyes closed tightly, looking as if he was resting his mind.
Wang Lin thought for a moment.
Considering that the word "woman" might involve Ye Xishui, he decided it was better to keep his mouth shut.
After all, this old black dragon fell into the hands of that old woman Ye Xishui for his whole life.
Recovering his senses, Wang Lin continued reading.
"But on major issues, as long as it doesn't involve ■■■ (smudged), the old black dragon still has principles. Therefore, I am willing to copy this book, which records many mysteries of the Body Martial Soul and is the core classic of my Body Sect, for him. According to common reason, this classic can only be inherited by successive Body Douluos. But the Dragon Emperor Douluo's disciple shouldn't be bad. Consider it leaving an extra inheritance for my Body Sect. Hope you don't let down my good intentions. — Du Busi"
After reading the preface left by Du Busi, Wang Lin nodded solemnly.
He remembered that the Body Sect would be destroyed later.
If he had the ability at that time, he would definitely try to save them.
If not, he would pass down the "Secret of the Body" to ensure the Body Sect's inheritance would not be broken.
Ignoring the smudged traces, Wang Lin continued to flip through.
"Humans are the God-favored race, retaining the wisdom of Gods. Among humans, those who can retain some of the God's power in addition to wisdom are the outstanding ones among the God-favored race. The Body Martial Soul is the power of God. The future era will likely be the era of Soul Tools. Soul Tools are the power of man. If the power of God is combined with the power of man, that is, combining the Body Martial Soul and Soul Tools, it will inevitably shock the world."
Looking at this somewhat baffling passage, Wang Lin's brows furrowed slightly.
Power of God and God-favored have come out. Is this trying to persuade me to learn Soul Tools?
How does a Brain martial soul combine with Soul Tools? Could it be that the Sun Moon Empire has already invented a brainwave amplifier!?
Doubts arose in his heart, but Wang Lin still took the combination of Body Martial Soul and Soul Tools to heart.
After all, Du Busi was also one of the top powerhouses on the continent.
Since it was written in the "Secret of the Body", there must be a reason for it.
His gaze swept downwards.
Upon seeing the five large characters "Body Cultivation Method", Wang Lin became energized and read on extremely seriously.
"Limbs" — Blank.
"Five Viscera" — Blank.
"Torso" — Blank.
...
Seeing several consecutive pages of blanks, Wang Lin panicked immediately.
Did Long Xiaoyao get played by Du Busi?
Rustle!
He flipped through the secret manual in his hand hurriedly.
Pages of blanks appeared in Wang Lin's vision.
The more Wang Lin looked, the more panicked he became.
Fortunately, the word "Brain" caught his eye.
What followed was not the despairing blankness.
"Hahaha, kid, are you panicked? If you want my Body Sect's inheritance, come to my Body Sect for a trip when you reach Titled Douluo. If you pass this old man's test, leaving a complete copy of the 'Secret of the Body' with you isn't impossible. — Du Busi"
Wang Lin: ...
Silent.
This Du Busi is from the same era as Long Xiaoyao, yet he still pulls these pranks!
He moved his gaze away from Du Busi's message and looked further back.
A diagram of human meridians extending downwards from the brain entered his eyes.
Wang Lin felt relieved.
He didn't look at it in detail but continued to flip to the back.
As he expected, except for the Brain martial soul section, the rest was the same as the beginning; apart from a name, there was nothing.
Although he was played by Du Busi and felt somewhat unhappy, Wang Lin had indeed taken things for granted at the start.
After all, he had no relation to the Body Sect and they were strangers.
Even with Long Xiaoyao stepping in, Du Busi willing to give him the cultivation method related to the Brain martial soul was already giving Long Xiaoyao face.
How could he possibly hand over the complete "Secret of the Body" to him!
Recovering his senses, Wang Lin looked seriously at the only part in the "Secret of the Body".
In that diagram of meridians extending downwards from the brain, there were red lines.
Around the red lines, there were annotations in various colors.
Although the handwriting was all the same, around the annotations of different colors, different names were written.
Clearly, these were annotations left by the ancestors of the Body Sect throughout history.
Du Busi had deliberately copied them in different colors and annotated the names.
"I owe a big favor this time."
Looking at such detailed annotations, Wang Lin truly realized the meaning represented by this secret manual.
Although it was only a part, it contained the blood and sweat of the Body Sect's ancestors.
No wonder Du Busi only copied the Brain martial soul section.
Wang Lin didn't dare to think about the complete version of the "Secret of the Body" now.
In the future, even if he couldn't save the Body Sect, he had to find a way to let the Body Sect preserve a complete inheritance.
Throwing the chaotic thoughts out of his mind, Wang Lin began to examine the Brain section from the beginning with incomparable seriousness.
