Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 154 Noumenon Sect

Tianhun Empire, Noumenon Sect.

The location of the Body Sect is north of Shrek City, in the southwest of Sunset Forest. This area is a long mountain range, similar to the Cloud Recesses where the Clear Sky Sect is located.

The base is located on a natural chasm, and the entire sect is built on a steep mountain peak, shrouded in clouds and mist.

The sect's outer perimeter is protected by gravity restrictions and a poisonous miasma barrier. The core area features a training ground paved with obsidian, and the ground is covered with ancient runes that can help strengthen the physical body. These runes are inscribed on the bones of a special kind of soul beast.

The members of the Body Sect are also divided into outer and inner sect elders.

Outer disciples live at the foot of the mountain, and their dwellings are named after black iron and bronze. The environment is equipped with a large number of black iron items, such as beds and iron clothing. They can release pressure by relying on the properties of black iron, thereby stimulating bone growth.

The inner disciples live on the mountainside in a place called Silver Bone Residence, which has a simulated deep-sea environment to aid in water pressure training and stimulate their martial spirit.

The inner core disciples have access to the Golden House, which, in addition to these facilities, includes a special medicinal bath and a personalized simulated cultivation environment tailored to their individual needs.

The elders reside on the mountaintop, numbering only a few dozen. The mountaintop contains a body-refining array and secret cultivation caves, accessible only to titled Douluo-level elders and a few exceptionally talented disciples.

In addition, there are the Martial Soul Inspection Hall and the Secret Treasure Vault, etc., which serve as the foundation of the sect and are guarded by several elders of the sect.

However, the usually quiet Body Sect has suddenly become unusually lively.

The reason is simple: their sect leader, who had been missing for over a year, has returned. Not only has he returned, but he has also brought back a Soul Master who is known as their closed-door disciple.

This excited many disciples and elders, as the sect hadn't seen any truly talented new blood in a long time.

Although many elders have their own disciples with their own martial souls to pass on to, the sect leader's lineage has been somewhat quiet in recent years.

Although the sect leader's lineage has always only accepted one or two core disciples for the purpose of passing on the main body sect's legacy, given the current unpredictable environment on the continent, having only Long Aotian is clearly not enough.

They all knew their sect leader's temperament and judgment; he looked down on ordinary geniuses. Now that he had suddenly brought back a disciple, many people were incredibly curious and wanted to meet him.

The main hall of the Body Sect.

More than a dozen elders arrived, and even the core disciples of the Body Sect's inner sect were summoned. Clearly, something important was about to happen today.

Many people's eyes were drawn to the young man standing in front of their own sect leader, Du Busi. After a brief moment of sensing, they were astonished by his soul power level of sixty.

They could certainly tell that the young man beside their sect leader was not very old, but that did not stop their curiosity. You should know that even within the Body Sect, there are very few young people whose soul power level can reach level sixty.

Their sect leader had been so worried about the sect's succession that his hair had almost turned white, and now he was suddenly taking on a disciple, a young fellow whose talent was clearly extraordinary. How could they not be excited?

Many elders were already whispering among themselves, speculating about the type of martial soul the young man beside their sect leader possessed.

Soul Masters with a unique martial soul usually have very distinct physical characteristics. For example, if their martial soul is their arm, their arm will be noticeably different from that of an ordinary person, as will their hair, legs, eyes, and so on.

Looking at the ice-blue-eyed youth beside their sect leader, many elders had some guesses.

Inside the conference hall, the most excited were undoubtedly Lang Ya and Yu Tao. After all, they deserved a lot of credit for discovering Huo Yuhao, such a promising talent.

After the last All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament, their sect leader disappeared for a year. Now that he has returned with Huo Yuhao by his side, it is clear that all their wishes have come true.

Some of the people below could guess the truth, after all, although the Body Sect was a reclusive sect, it was not indifferent to worldly affairs.

They knew a lot about their sect leader's appearance at the Soul Master Competition, where he humiliated Shrek Academy's Gluttonous Douluo for the sake of a Sun Moon Academy student.

Now, considering the previous situation, the identity of the young man beside their sect leader doesn't seem too hard to guess.

Sure enough, after the last elder arrived, Du Bu Si began his operation.

"I have already accepted Yuhao as my last disciple. From now on, Yuhao will be the rightful heir of my Body Sect."

"Many of you probably already know something about Yuhao's identity. He is from Xingluo and is currently studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. He is known as the number one genius in Sun Moon."

"In the last All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, Yuhao won the championship representing Sun Moon Sect. Because he possesses the Spirit Eye, a spirit-type body spirit, and has unparalleled talent, I took him as my disciple after the tournament and prepared to have him pass on the mantle of my Body Sect in the future."

"By the way, Yuhao is thirteen years old now, his soul power level is level sixty, his main martial soul has achieved the second awakening of silver level, and at the same time, Yuhao is also a twin martial soul master, the ultimate martial soul master."

"Having said all I have to say, Yuhao is the rightful successor to the next Sect Master of the Body Sect. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

After Du Bu Si finished speaking, Huo Yu Hao stepped forward.

"Greetings, elders. My name is Huo Yuhao. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."

Gollum~
Even in a sect like the Body Sect, which focuses on martial spirit cultivation, the elders and core disciples of the inner sect couldn't help but gape in disbelief when they heard the series of information presented by Du Busi.

What did they hear? Thirteen years old, level sixty in soul power, silver-level martial soul with autonomous second awakening, twin martial souls, an ultimate martial soul master—was this reasonable? Was this still the world they knew? However, the elders reacted quickly. Not to mention that this was their sect leader's decision, they couldn't think of any reason not to support this boy named Huo Yuhao, given his string of talents.

The elders all stood up, their faces beaming with friendly smiles, and gathered around Huo Yuhao, offering words of comfort and concern.

"Yuhao, child, may I take a look at your martial spirit?"

"Child, let me see your spirit rings and your handsome appearance. You are far superior to the sect leader."

"I have some treasures here, as a gift for you, Yuhao."

"."

The elders kept talking, especially after Huo Yuhao summoned his spirit rings. The five spirit rings, black, black, black, and red, exceeded the limit, so that no one dared to question the sect leader's statement that Huo Yuhao was the heir.

What a joke! With such talent and such a high ratio of spirit rings, even if their own sect leader wanted to abdicate, they would still dare to push Huo Yuhao into the position of sect leader.

It should be noted that the Body Sect has always maintained a single lineage succession system, and finding a suitable successor with a suitable martial soul is not easy, let alone a prodigy like Huo Yuhao.

Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to your own muscles.

Furthermore, the sect leader of the Body Sect wields immense power. Aside from plans that affect the sect's future development, these elders have no authority to interfere in other matters, such as the succession of the sect leader.

Furthermore, the sect leader's closed-door disciple is not necessarily guaranteed to inherit the sect leader's position. If the disciple is not strong enough and is surpassed by other disciples, then the disciple can only blame their own lack of ability.

It is extremely rare for a situation like this to occur, where Poison Undying has decisively designated Huo Yuhao as the successor of the Body Sect, clearly stating that he will inherit the mantle, and with not a single elder expressing any opposition.

This is due to Huo Yuhao's previous reputation and the strength he has shown now. At thirteen years old, with twin martial souls, extreme attributes, level sixty, and a perfect soul ring combination, any one of these factors would be enough to make these elders disregard everything, let alone all of them combined in one person.

Poison Undying coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention back to him.

"By the way, there is something I need to tell you in advance. Yuhao will continue to study at the Sun and Moon Sect. I have decided to work with Kong Deming to train Yuhao so that he can become a top expert on the continent and carry forward the glory of our Body Sect in the future."

"The reason I'm back this time is to have Yuhao deeply study the secret techniques of my Body Sect, perform a ritual to stimulate his martial soul, and incidentally, also to sound an alarm for these little guys below."

Poison Undying has said a lot, but now many elders don't care.

What nonsense are they spouting?!
I think you're drunk, Sect Leader, that's why you're spouting such nonsense.

Such a promising heir to a sect is still staying at Sun Moon Sect to study. What is he studying? Soul tools, of course. Isn't that a waste of his time and talent?

"Sect Master, Yuhao can stay in our sect to cultivate from now on. I guarantee that there will be plenty of Dragon Blood Soul Beast meat in the future."

"Yes, Sect Master, Yuhao can use the medicinal pool with body-tempering runes there as he pleases. Some rare medicinal herbs are open to him unconditionally. Why bother with joint cultivation with the Sun and Moon Sect?"

"My place"

Du Bu Si knew this would happen, so he stopped being polite and unleashed a burst of energy, instantly silencing the entire conference hall.

Poison Undying had the same idea before, such as abducting Yuhao to the Body Sect and letting the child stay there. However, after learning more about the Sun and Moon Sect over the past period, he changed his mind.

Soul tools do have unique features, and Yuhao is, after all, Kong Laotou's disciple, so he wouldn't do something so dishonorable.

Joint training programs are not necessarily a bad thing.

To reiterate, no matter how good the Sun and Moon Sect is, Yuhao is still just that old man Kong Deming's disciple. Even if he inherits the position, it will only be in the Hall of Worship, which does not conflict with the principles of the Body Sect.

Furthermore, the situation on the mainland is constantly changing, and who knows when war with the Three Kingdoms will break out on the other side?

Judging from the current situation, even if the three kingdoms join forces with Shrek Academy, they may not be able to withstand the onslaught of the Sun and Moon forces.

Once the continent is unified, their own disciples can help the Body Sect establish a stable foothold in the changed landscape. This is much better than blindly following the Heavenly Soul down the same path.

By betting on both sides, the Body Sect will always have a way out, no matter what. He used to disdain this, but now he wants to consider the sect's interests and those of his disciple Yuhao.

If Sun and Moon win, then the Body Sect will rely on Sun and Moon through Yu Hao's relationship. If Sun and Moon lose, then the Body Sect will have a way out from Heavenly Soul.

We'll help whoever wins. As for whoever we help will win, the Body Sect can't do that yet. But once Yuhao truly grows up, the Body Sect can definitely say, "Whoever we help will win."

Moreover, what Yuhao said before about soul tools being able to help the main body martial soul master become stronger is not wrong. The Body Sect should also keep up with the times and should not remain stagnant.

In short, the current situation is the best it can be.

He was absolutely not afraid that old man Kong Deming would bring dozens of level-nine soul-guided bombs to blow up the mountain, absolutely not.
