Douluo: Twins of Fate

Chapter 204 The Future of the Body Sect?

The commotion behind her caught Meng Hongchen's attention. She turned around curiously and asked, "What's going on with those two?"

Jiang Qingtong cupped Meng Hongchen's cheeks and turned her back, saying, "It's nothing, they're having a friendly exchange over there."

The Soul Guidance Train pulled into Mingdu Station, and the group got off the train. Xiao Hongchen lowered his head and covered his face, which puzzled Huo Yuhao and the others who were waiting to greet them. He asked, "Senior Hongchen, why are you covering your face?"

Xiao Hongchen lowered his hand and calmly looked at Huo Yuhao. The dark circles under his eyes testified to his current mood.

"Do you know why?" Xiao Hongchen smiled at Huo Yuhao and asked.

"Why?" Huo Yuhao looked at Xiao Hongchen's two panda eyes and didn't understand how he got like this.

As Jiang Shengyu passed by Xiao Hongchen, she said casually, "He wasn't watching where he was going and bumped into a wall."

Did you hit a wall?
What kind of posture would it take to accurately and flawlessly create two dark circles under the eyes?
Huo Yuhao didn't understand.

After leaving the Mingdu Soul Guidance Train Station, the group returned to Mingde Hall. Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen were both there, drinking tea with Du Busi.

"Why is he here too?" Xiao Hongchen looked surprised when he saw Du Busi sitting in the hall drinking tea. He subconsciously took a step back and tried to pull Huo Yuhao back as well.

"You rude brat!"

After seeing Xiao Hongchen's actions, Du Busi put down his teacup and cursed.

Xiao Hongchen looked bewildered, not knowing what was going on. It was Jing Hongchen who explained the situation to him: "The Poison Sect Master is here to teach Yuhao how to cultivate his physical martial soul. He is a guest of our Mingde Hall, so don't be nervous!"

"Huh? When did this happen?" Xiao Hongchen still didn't understand.

"Not long, just a few months." After saying that, Du Busi took out the token that Jiang Shengyu had given him earlier, threw it to Jiang Shengyu, and said, "Take this, your token. I don't need it now."

Jiang Shengyu chuckled as he put away the token, then said to Du Busi, "Senior is truly diligent, so eager to teach Yuhao how to cultivate."

They even became acquainted with Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen!

"Humph!"

Poisonous Undying snorted, glanced at Huo Yuhao who was standing to the side with a somewhat embarrassed expression, and said, "Isn't it because this brat won't come back to the Body Sect with me? That's why I have to work so hard! Do you know how far the Body Sect is from Mingdu? My old bones are almost falling apart from running around these past few months!"

Despite Du Bu Si's complaints, Jiang Sheng Yu still smiled and said, "In that case, why don't you just move the Body Sect to the Sun Moon Empire, Senior?"

"Think beautifully!"

Without hesitation, Poison Immortal replied, "The Body Sect is the orthodox sect of Douluo Continent, with a history of ten thousand years. How could it..."

After Du Busi uttered those words, Jiang Shengyu's smile vanished. He said, "Isn't the Sun Moon Empire a country of the Douluo Continent? For thousands of years, the relationship between the three original kingdoms of the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Empire has been so tense, isn't it because there are too many people who hold the same view as you, senior?"

Poison Undying was speechless, unsure how to respond.

Jiang Shengyu continued, "Senior should have met Sect Master Tang before, right?"

"You mean that little girl from the Tang Clan? I've met her, how was it?" Du Busi nodded, looking at Jiang Shengyu, curious about what he would say next. Could it be that he wanted him to learn from the Tang Clan?
"Senior, do you think that the Tang Sect's reconstruction in my Sun Moon Empire is a betrayal of the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent?" Jiang Shengyu asked this question. Upon hearing this question, Du Busi was speechless for a moment, unsure how to answer.

But Jiang Shengyu didn't wait for Du Busi's reply. He continued, "In my opinion, of course not! The three kingdoms that originally belonged to Douluo Continent abandoned the Tang Sect thousands of years ago, yet they expect the Tang Sect to remain loyal to them. Isn't that ridiculous?"

“That’s true, but the situation of the Body Sect is different from that of the Tang Sect!” Du Busi nodded in agreement with Jiang Shengyu’s words, but then shook his head to remind him of the differences between the Body Sect and the Tang Sect.

In contrast to the Tang Sect being abandoned, the Body Sect has always been revered by the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent.

"But what if the Body Sect declines after the predecessors pass away?"

Jiang Shengyu suddenly asked, looking at Du Busi, and said slowly, "The reason why you wanted Yuhao to be your disciple, senior, is it because you also know that the Body Sect is facing a shortage of successors and its future prospects are bleak?"

Jiang Shengyu's words were very blunt, and Du Busi couldn't help but fall silent.

But Jiang Shengyu didn't stop. He continued to say to Du Busi, "Nowadays, because the Body Sect has this level 98 Super Douluo, the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent are still willing to give it face."

"But after the senior is gone, and the Body Sect, which once caused a beast tide that caused heavy losses to the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent, is left with only that level 96 Golden Body Douluo, will they still give face to the Body Sect?"

"You should know that even the weakest Douling Empire has a level 97 Tianyang Douluo to maintain its prestige."

Upon hearing this, Poison Undying roared angrily, "They dare!"

"What wouldn't they dare to do?" Jiang Shengyu retorted.

He couldn't be poisoned, but he didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Shengyu continued, "They don't even need to fight the Body Sect. They only need to control the Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls within their own borders. Body Martial Soul cultivation is inherently difficult. If this continues, they won't need to lift a finger, and the Body Sect will cease to exist in the future."

No matter what, the Body Sect could never truly isolate itself from the world and sever ties with all the major empires like the Clear Sky Sect.

The Body Martial Souls come in all shapes and sizes, unlike the Clear Sky Sect which has a clear lineage. This means that the Body Sect's disciples must come from the common people of various empires rather than be passed down through their own sects.

Du Bu Si understood this very well; he knew Jiang Sheng Yu was right.

Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, and the others remained silent. To them, if Du Busi really brought the Body Sect to the Sun Moon Empire, that would be great; if not, it wouldn't matter.

Some branches of the Soul Hall have also been openly active in the original Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent under the name of the Tang Sect.

"You brat! You've stirred my heart with just a few words. You're quite something!"

After a long while, Du Busi sighed. He looked at Jiang Shengyu, then at Huo Yuhao, and then said, "This matter is of great importance. Although I agree with your point of view, this is not something I can decide on casually!"

At this point, he added, "Moreover, the development of the Body Sect is probably not going well in the Sun and Moon Empire."

"Why?" Jiang Shengyu frowned, and even Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen behind him frowned.
