Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

"I know you have big ambitions, but I never expected that you would come up with this idea so quietly."

In the training ground of the dormitory building, Mu Ye sat upright, looking at Feng Zaixing, who had just sent Yu Xin back to her bedroom and then mustered his energy to attend night school, with a complicated expression.

"Putting everything else aside, you've been working so hard these past two years, you really should take a break. Even the most diligent students in Shrek Academy's inner courtyard only have half the training time you do."

Feng Zaixing stretched out his arms, his bones crackling and popping as he greeted everyone with a smile:

"Isn't today a rare chance to relax? Before, I wouldn't even leave the house except to spend time with Na'er."

"Without the determination to cultivate relentlessly, I am not worthy of being your and Teacher Hua's student, let alone my martial spirit."

From comprehending sword intent to understanding the heart of the elements, from breaking through to become a Great Soul Master to becoming a Level 5 Blacksmith, his cultivation state was sometimes so impressive that even Mu Ye and Aruheng were impressed and were driven by him to work hard together.

Today, Aruheng is very close to the seventh ring, and his innate secret techniques are advancing steadily. Only Muye is still clinging to the mecha.

In response, Feng Zaixing secretly resolved to ask a powerful figure to suppress Mu Ye, temporarily seize his mecha, and force him to focus on cultivating his soul power and breaking through to a higher realm.

If Mu Ye is unwilling to take the "right path," then he will have no choice but to force-feed him a 100,000-year-old immortal ingredient and invite this teacher to become the Supreme Sect Master. He believes that the ancestors of the Body Sect will definitely agree with his decision.

In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary. The revival of the Body Sect is not his responsibility alone. It is absolutely impossible for him to exhaust himself while his teacher reaps the benefits. He must be punished.

Mu Ye was naturally unaware that the disciple's "butcher's knife" dealt indiscriminate damage across the entire map. After offering a few words of comfort, he started talking about Yu Xin with a gossipy look on his face.

"You and the young lady from the Yu family have a very good relationship. You always discuss such important matters with her first."

Feng Zaixing rolled the whites of his eyes slightly upward as he looked at the other person and said, "Teacher, your work in this matter is in the later stages of negotiation; you can't help with the early and middle stages."

"I remember when we sat down at the negotiating table, we insisted that we were the victims and Shrek Academy was the villain. Then we dug up old dirt and settled old scores. First, we demanded that Shrek Academy hand over the 'Secret of the Body' that they owed us for 10,000 years, and the harsher we cursed them, the better."

"Remember, it's an unconditional handover. This item can't be included in the compensation list. Lingbing Douluo is shameless, stealing our sect's secret technique. Shrek Academy is even more shameless, occupying it for ten thousand years without mentioning its return. It's simply outrageous..."

Worried that Mu Ye, a guy with little knowledge, would suffer a loss, Feng Zaixing explained the key points of the negotiation in detail, brought out props, and gave a vivid personal demonstration.

Mu Ye's eyes lit up with surprise, and he wondered if the child was an actor in his past life, because he didn't look like an actor!

If he were to lose his temper and go berserk in front of a group of masters of his generation, revealing this dark history, Shrek's reputation would be ruined.

"Yes, yes, I've got it. Don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Mu Ye nodded repeatedly, finding it increasingly wonderful. He truly deserved to be the next generation sect leader he had chosen. Apart from not having cultivated the innate secret technique, he had no regrets whatsoever.

However, even if he wanted to teach Feng Zaixing the Innate Secret Technique now, the Body Sect wouldn't have enough resources...

"That's good. The plan will be launched next year. Right now, besides keeping an eye on those useless Shrek students, the most important thing is cultivation. Please protect me. Tonight, let's relax a bit and cultivate in a different way."

Feng Zaixing moved his storage ring, took out the jade box containing the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, opened it, and began to devour the huge stamen, then the petals one by one. He then sat cross-legged and meditated, circulating the modified Xuantian Gong, which was on the surface a meditation method of the Body Sect, to absorb the medicinal power.

When Feng Zaixing used the modified Xuan Tian Gong to refine the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, a strange feeling arose in his heart for a moment, but in the next instant, he wiped away this distracting thought and entered a state of deep meditation.

Instantly, the petals and stamens that melted in his mouth transformed into streams of warm energy that flowed into his soul power, coursing through his meridians and extending into his eight extraordinary meridians. He felt warm and very comfortable all over.

Mu Ye watched as Feng Zaixing quickly returned to cultivation after only a few words, and soon shook his head and chuckled. This disciple would never repeat his mistakes and would become an unprecedented and unparalleled quasi-god.

A short while later.

Feng Zaixing's soul power began to stir, and the medicinal power merged into his soul power, circulating through his body in a grand cycle, steadily and slowly breaking through the bottleneck.

Seeing this, Mu Ye muttered to himself, "With the help of the immortal item, he will definitely become a Soul Master within a year. A Soul Master at the age of nine, apart from the six-winged angel Soul Master in the history of the Spirit Hall, no one is faster than him."

As Mu Ye had predicted, the medicinal power of the Qi Rong Tong Tian Ju quickly spread, like a rushing river, washing over every meridian in Feng Zaixing's body.

Feeling the changes in his body, Feng Zaixing suddenly had a strange idea. He pushed his blood and qi to a special meridian, activating the secret technique he had cultivated.

"This is an opportunity to try opening up the eight meridians, or even achieving a second awakening..."

Gradually, a faint, unusual vein on Feng Zaixing's back began to tinge with blood, and his skin began to glow red.

"What's going on?"

Mu Ye was startled. Something unexpected was happening to Feng Zaixing, as if a new meridian had been opened up.

Mu Ye's intuition as the sect leader of the Body Sect allowed him to quickly pinpoint the meridian corresponding to Feng Zaixing. It was a meridian that was congenitally blocked in the human body. Unblocking it would undoubtedly be beneficial, but it would also be dangerous. The Body Sect had rarely studied it before.

After all, there's still so much to study about one's own body parts, and there are so many secret techniques to cultivate, so how could there be time to study anything else? Historically, almost no one's martial spirit is meridians.

What happened next left Makino completely stunned:

Feng Zaixing released a strong blood aura and brilliant soul light from his body. The primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to be summoned and surged towards him. Behind this blood-aura-covered youth, a huge humanoid phantom, seven or eight meters tall, condensed.

The phantom was entirely silver-white, exuding a terrifying aura like that of a mighty beast.

"Wow, this... this... Silver-level second awakening? The medicinal effects of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum are that powerful?"

Makino was dumbfounded, unsure of what to say to describe what was happening before his eyes.

Throughout the history of the Body Sect, the second awakening is the most important inheritance and the fundamental reason why the Body Martial Soul is stronger than other Martial Souls; however, in the history of the sect, the minimum level to complete the second awakening is the three-ring Soul Master.

Feng Zaixing's second awakening in the Second Ring Road undoubtedly created another despair-inducing record, even though he had consumed a divine delicacy.

Financial resources are part of strength. If eating some flowers and herbs could trigger a second awakening, Mu Ye would be more than happy to give a share to the entire sect.

He now understood why the Tang Clan had endured for so long; the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was an unparalleled treasure. He wondered how Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Clan, had discovered this treasure.

"Next year, if we argue, we'll fight to the death. Even if I have to cry in public, I'll still extort a few more immortal herbs from the Tang Clan!"

Makino made up his mind to start studying how to curse and how to cry from tonight.

Two quarters of an hour later, the strange phenomena surrounding Feng Zaixing dissipated, the magnificent scene of all rivers flowing into the sea came to an end, and he stood up, his body seemingly growing even taller, as upright as a pine tree.

"The Yin Wei Meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians has been opened, and the Soul Power is at Level 26, which is not bad."

As he calculated his own changes, Feng Zaixing revealed a knowing smile. The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum had greatly increased his potential, truly deserving of its status as a top-tier thousand-year-old spiritual treasure.

Legend has it that the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum can forge an indestructible body. While the claim is certainly exaggerated, the benefits are real. Few people below the Soul King level can break through its defenses.

Having opened one of his eight extraordinary meridians, his speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to recover increased by more than 20%, which will greatly benefit him in the long battle to come.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Zaixing took out a transcribed scroll and handed it to Mu Ye, saying:

"Teacher, during the battle at the Ascension Platform in broad daylight, I noticed that the Star Luo Empire's footwork was quite good, and I carefully memorized it. Please give me some pointers."

"Oh? That's another good thing."

Makino took the scroll with a smile and read it, but his expression quickly changed.

"This is the Tang Clan's Ghost Shadow Tracking technique."

Feng Zaixing was surprised for a moment, then his eyes darted around, and he feigned ignorance, saying, "Tang Clan? What Tang Clan? What does our sect's combat techniques have to do with the Tang Clan?"

"Hey, Zai Xing, what you're saying is just..."

Just as Makino was about to reprimand him, a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

That's right, the footwork that this sect master's disciple memorized on his own merits has absolutely nothing to do with the Tang Sect!

"What did you say, teacher? What's wrong with what I said?" Feng Zaixing asked with a smile.

Makino coughed lightly twice, his face beaming with a smile, and said, "Of course, that makes perfect sense! Hahahaha... Hahahaha..."

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven. The Tang Clan, who are closely aligned with Shrek Academy, have finally met their match!
