Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Chapter 365 Leng Yaozhu: Why couldn't Mu Ye find more Soul Master geniuses in his early years?

As Feng Zaixing's breakthrough was detected by the top experts in the Douluo Continent, the atmosphere among the three major navies and top forces of the Douluo Continent became tense.

Feng Zaixing was also aware of this. Instead of shouting foolish things like "counterattack" when the naval fleet was rebuilt, he began to clean up the sea god faith.

Because of Xiao Bai, almost the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan are believers of the Sea God, and Xiao Bai's branch is just the largest of them.

"The marine ecosystem remains unchanged for millennia. I have no intention of becoming a bloodthirsty butcher who stained the ocean with blood. My purpose in this conquest is solely to destroy the faith in the sea god. Those who are unrelated to the sea spirit beasts need not worry. Those who believe in the sea god should abandon their faith. I will disregard the past."

Through the words of Lan Fuzi, the number one traitor in the ocean, the ocean spirit beasts gradually felt a heavy pressure—a very terrifying human was going to defy the ocean and attack their faith that they had upheld for tens of thousands of years.

Meanwhile, another rumor quietly circulated among the sea spirit beasts: the former ruler who once dominated the entire spirit beast world, the half-body of the Dragon God, has returned, seeking to rebuild the faith in the Dragon God.

The news from both sides arrived at the same time, and for a time, there were those in the ocean who were frightened, those who were worried, and those who watched coldly. It was a scene of all kinds of reactions and a thousand different phenomena.

However, as the first group of powerful humans who had joined the expedition annihilated the second group of Demon Soul Great White Sharks, many sea spirit beasts suddenly realized the gravity of the situation and dared not be negligent any longer.

"The 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark is decent in strength, but lacks power."

Na'er, barefoot, casually pulled out the dragon spear that had pierced the shark's brain, and a delicate, crystal-clear skull flew out.

"Don't waste it! A 100,000-year-old great white shark is a treasure trove. If you take it, you can make a lot of money from it. You can fry, grill, boil, steam, stew, and cook it in all sorts of ways."

Having temporarily taken leave from the Blood God Legion, Mu Ye jumped next to his junior disciple and used his quasi-god power to collect the essence of the 100,000-year-old demon soul great white shark. In his eyes, there was no unfathomable depth of a powerful soul master, only a pure pursuit of delicious food and culinary skills.

Na'er swallowed quietly, withdrew her martial spirit, and said with elegant demeanor, "Teacher, don't worry, no one here is going to take it from you."

o

"We have to hurry, I'm not the only one who's been attracted here this time."

Makino wielded a chef's knife assembled from a god-level mecha, carefully and skillfully processing the Demon Soul Great White Shark, quickly extracting the most suitable parts for the dish.

"Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry? I believe this shark is also destined to be with my Spirit Pagoda."

Before Makino could finish his enthusiastic knife work, Leng Yaozhu's elegant and mature voice drifted from afar, and a fiery phoenix swept across the sea, revealing the figure of this peerless master.

Without even looking up, Mu Ye casually said, "This one is destined, that one is destined, does that mean all the soul beasts in the entire plane are destined to be with your Spirit Pagoda? I'd like to remind you Spirit Pagoda to be more discreet. Zai Xing said he would only destroy those who worship the Sea God, so don't try to take advantage of the chaos and escalate the war to expand your coffers with the help of the Federation."

Having read the sect's records, Mu Ye knew perfectly well how the Star Dou Great Forest had gradually shrunk from the largest gathering place of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent to its current state.

Ten thousand years ago, during the heyday of the Body Sect, they often formed teams to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou region. At that time, they attracted a lot of hatred, but their efficiency was far less than that of the later Spirit Pagoda.

Through their initial cooperation with the spirit beasts, this group obtained valuable information about almost every type of spirit beast, including their habitat, location, and preferences.

With this intelligence, the experts of the Spirit Pagoda were almost invincible when they turned against the soul beasts. They captured countless soul beasts and brought them back to create soul spirits or conduct various soul spirit experiments.

Even Makino was terrified by this action, and it was almost a joint operation of the four major powers at the time, with each of them benefiting from it, and no one could stop it.

But today, the war to quell the ocean faith was launched by the Body Sect and the Temple of War, so they naturally have enough strength and confidence to restrain other forces.

"Your Majesty, my disciple asked me to deliver a message to you: the purpose of this battle is to dismantle the sea god faith and to train troops. The Federation Navy is not a tool that you can use to seek personal gain."

After dealing with the shark's stench, Makino raised his head, his tone solemn, and said, "We welcome the Spirit Pagoda's assistance and will reward you handsomely. No one will object to you taking some spoils back with you; however, please do not be greedy, and do not think that indiscriminate killing is acceptable. This is something we absolutely will not allow."

What happened.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's expression turned serious, and she smiled, "Don't you all know my character? How could I do such a thing?" Na'er interjected, "Aunt Leng, of course you wouldn't, but the Spirit Pagoda is very large, you know. There are so many Spirit Pagoda councilors and Spirit Pagoda envoys, they might all have their own ideas, right? Maybe some people think it's okay to fish in troubled waters?"

"And what about those ancient families who made their fortune by slaughtering countless soul beasts? They should still exist in the Spirit Pagoda, right? What if they want to revive their ancestral ways and use this opportunity to cause trouble? It's not impossible, is it?"

Leng Yaozhu's smile vanished. For the Spirit Pagoda, the saying "killing beasts and setting fires brings a golden belt" was not an exaggeration but a real historical fact.

As for the average moral standards of the Spirit Pagoda people, she knew very well that they were, if not a mixed bag, at least uneven.

Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, the master and apprentice exchanged a glance and said no more, giving Leng Yaozhu enough space to think.

Ultimately, the sea spirit beasts are also a part of the ecosystem of the Douluo plane, and a very large part at that.

Although the ocean and the faith of sea spirit beasts were controlled by the Sea God Tang San, causing the ocean to break away from the control of the plane's master and resulting in the imbalance of the plane's environment, it is absolutely unacceptable to kill indiscriminately, as the consequences of that are something Feng Zaixing would never want to see.

"Alright, thank you both for the reminder. I will strictly control the people of the Spirit Pagoda. I will consider the attitude and character of anyone who comes to help, and I will never allow any guys who advocate the extermination of soul beasts to come."

Leng Yaozhu responded after a moment's thought. There are many factions in the Spirit Pagoda, and there are several based on their attitudes toward spirit beasts. The mainstream one is to treat all the spirit beast gathering places that can be involved in the future as the Star Dou Great Forest. In other words, kill those that can be killed, and keep those that cannot be killed as pets. This is an absolute spirit master-centric ideology.

Even Leng Yaozhu herself leans towards this school of thought.

However, judging from the current situation, Feng Zaixing clearly disagrees with them and has been on guard against the Soul Beast bandits of the Spirit Pagoda.

Then there's nothing we can do. Don't try to get rich quick; just make a little extra money.

"Strange, strange, why is Feng Zaixing so gentle towards soul beasts?" On the way back to the Spirit Pagoda base, Leng Yaozhu frowned slightly, unable to guess what Feng Zaixing was thinking.

In fact, when Feng Zaixing massacred the Soul Master families in his early years, although all forces were generally shaken, the Spirit Pagoda was the least affected.

It's just wiping out a few opposing families, what's the big deal? Our Spirit Pagoda can't even remember how many soul beast races we've wiped out.

Since the Spirit Pagoda drove Di Tian, ​​Bi Ji, and other ferocious beasts out of the decision-making level and officially turned against the Soul Beast race, the nightmare of the Star Dou Great Forest has truly descended. Some busybodies in the Federation commented that the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda was not a easing of the relationship between humans and Soul Beasts, but a long-planned and prepared massacre that came late in the night.

The extent of the slaughter of spirit beasts at that time far exceeded the ordinary demand for spirit rings. The three major forces of Shi Tang Chuan worked together and were simply unstoppable.

Shrek Academy experimented with secret soul bones and soul bone fusion technology, Tang Sect obtained a large amount of rare materials for making valuable soul tools, Spirit Pagoda captured countless research materials, and the War God Temple collected taxes on behalf of the Federation throughout the process.

As for the so-called rare and precious materials, countless have been stolen, and the ecosystem of plant-based soul beasts under the rule of the Demon King is on the verge of collapse.

The simultaneous attack on Star Dou by the four major powers at that time was truly terrifying. It can be said that the development of the Soul Master world far surpassed that of 10,000 years ago. This was not only due to the plane lifting the restrictions on the strength of top experts, but also inseparable from the countless resources plundered by the four major powers from the Star Dou Great Forest.

With the fall of the Star Dou Forest, four families will feast: The ocean's scale and resources far surpass those of the Star Dou Forest by more than ten times. If the Body Sect can lead this operation, it will surely achieve a complete revival, and producing dozens more Title Douluos will not be difficult.

"Wait, does the Body Sect currently have only a few dozen members?"

A flash of inspiration struck Leng Yaozhu, and she felt she understood something. A bitter smile appeared on her beautiful, smooth face.

"Forget that the Body Sect hasn't even recruited many disciples in recent years. They only have so few people, so of course they don't need to take action against the ocean—"

Despite its past decline, the Body Sect still only has a handful of disciples, even after many years. While it has recruited many outer disciples with powerful beast spirits or bloodline strength, it still only has a handful of inner disciples with Body Spirits, and their average cultivation level is at the Limit Douluo level.

The Body Sect should rightfully be centered around Body Soul Masters. If the outer sect continues to grow but the inner sect lacks sufficient experts, an imbalance between the inner and outer sects will inevitably occur sooner or later. Feng Zaixing and Mu Ye must have considered this matter.

While their generation of powerful figures were still around, they could keep even the most skilled outer sect members in check, making them all obediently work for the Body Sect. But if they were to fall one day, the new Body Sect leader would probably be so angry that he'd curse their ancestors' graves.

If too many outer sect experts are recruited, sooner or later they will usurp the inner sect's position and even take over its territory. Who knows, in the future, an ambitious outer sect leader might emerge and force the inner sect to relocate, changing the name of the Body Sect to something like "Blood Qi Sect" or "Divine Beast Sect".

However, it's not entirely Feng Zaixing's fault that the Body Sect couldn't recruit enough inner disciples. The entire sect only had a handful of capable individuals, all of whom were engaged in high-ranking campaigns within the Federation. Another point is that Body Martial Souls are extremely rare at all times; even with Yu Xin and Gu Yue's deliberate search, they might not find a suitable one even in a year.

Thinking of this, Leng Yaozhu frowned in pain. Why couldn't Mu Ye find more Soul Master geniuses when he was still the sect leader?

Before the resurgence of the sect, you only managed to recruit one person, Aruheng, all those years ago. No wonder your Body Sect is doomed!

"Tower Master, what are you thinking about?" Several Title Douluos from the Spirit Pagoda, who had brought back a less than satisfactory result with Leng Yaozhu, were worried that this quasi-god might be upset when they saw Leng Yaozhu's displeased expression.

"It's nothing—" Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath and instructed, "From now on, collect information on the Body Soul Masters of the Spirit Pagoda, and select Body Soul Masters with clean family backgrounds as much as possible to introduce to the Body Sect."

"Remember this: if you discover a Soul Master with the True Body skill in the future, send them to Mingdu City without attracting the Spirit Pagoda or the people from the True Body Sect."

They're too timid right now; we need to give them some courage!
