Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

Faced with the resolute Le Zhengyang, Feng Zaixing couldn't help but feel a surge of passion and a desire to repay him.

After a moment's thought, he touched his storage ring, took out a spotless ancient coin, and said with a smile:

"If our ancestors were to follow in their footsteps, we might as well take a look at these relics left behind by our forefathers."

"His belongings?"

Le Zhengyang's eyes flickered, his gaze falling, and he immediately sensed a sense of familiarity from the ancient coins.

His eyes widened, his excited voice tinged with caution and uncertainty, "This is... left behind by the Angel Douluo from the Spirit Hall era?"

Feng Zaixing smiled and nodded, saying, "It's pretty much true. This is a special spatial soul tool, and its craftsmanship is completely different from that of this era."

As he spoke, he put down the ancient coin, and a green halo flew out from it, hovering in front of Le Zhengyang.

Upon closer inspection, the green orb turned out to be a small wicker pouch, the vines lush and vibrant, brimming with life. Inside lay a small, golden animal, resembling an ape, curled up and fast asleep.

Le Zhengyang examined the rattan weaving pattern of the small bag and quickly recalled a legendary treasure from his family records. He asked with surprise and uncertainty:

"This...is this the Evergreen Ivy of Life? It's exactly the same as described in the clan's ancient books, only it looks a bit more detailed."

The vitality emanating from the slender vine was more intense than he had ever witnessed in his life.

"It's not the ivy of life, but it's related to it; it's the root of the ivy of life," Feng Zaixing said, shaking his head.

"Roots?" Le Zhengyang blinked, then his face lit up with joy.

According to ancient records, the Evergreen Vine of Life grows deep in the Lake of Life. It can restore the life essence of ferocious beasts after they have survived their tribulations. If a person eats an inch of it, they will live a hundred years longer.

These roots are used by the ivy to absorb, filter, and store life energy, and the life energy contained within them is also enormous!

"This treasure is worth at least half a divine artifact, and I wonder how many people it will benefit from."

Le Zhengyang muttered with burning eyes, looking at Feng Zaixing, "Zaixing, you took it out, could it be...?"

"You, a quasi-god of your generation, should live a few more years and kill a few more evil spirit masters."

Feng Zaixing smiled faintly, pointed to the sleeping little beast in the bag, and continued:

"As I suspected, this item was obtained by a high-ranking elder of the Spirit Hall during his exploration of the Lake of Life. It is a legacy left by our ancestors that it can be used to help our ancestor today."

"However..." Feng Zaixing drawled, pointing to the small beast in the bag:

"It has survived until now because its roots have the ability to store life, and it is now very weak."

"It is an extraterrestrial species with extremely high racial talent. Please, Ancestor, use the resources to restore it."

"Easy, easy. It looks like a good gorilla, and its aura is somewhat similar to Xiong Jun's," Le Zhengyang commented, sounding like an expert.

Feng Zaixing smiled faintly and remained silent, thinking to himself that when it comes to bloodlines, this little guy's race is the true source.

The Behemoths can devour dragons and are far stronger than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears.

……

A few days later, Makino arrived.

After a few days of adjustment, Feng Zaixing stepped onto the altar to receive a sacred baptism and began his tedious yet stimulating cultivation.

At dawn, he practiced the Eye Refining Technique of the Body Sect, absorbing the first purple light of the rising sun and integrating it into his eyes.

Le Zhengyang noticed this at first, but when he saw Mu Ye winking and making faces while holding "The Secret of the Body", he understood.

Shrek Tang Sect, having refused to return someone else's secret techniques, has now had its Purple Demon Eye stolen in return. This is a clear case of justice and retribution.

After the morning class ended, the two masters suppressed their cultivation levels and began to teach each other, from body coordination and control, the use of divine power to the integration of combat techniques.

From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., when the sun is at its strongest, the martial spirit is released to receive the baptism of divine power. A flowing sphere of light rises from the altar, and the young man sits cross-legged in it, drawing in the energy of heaven and earth.

From 5 to 8 o'clock, one cultivates the acquired secret methods of the Body Sect to accumulate foundation and forge, gradually coming into contact with the innate secret methods.

From eight to ten o'clock, I read extensively, practicing both sword and bow skills as well as fist and foot techniques, and comprehending the intentions of a king and a hegemon.

From 10:00 to 11:00, practical training.

From 11:00 AM to 5:00 AM the following day, I will engage in intensive meditation.

On the fifteenth of each month, when the moon is high in the sky, Le Zhengyang uses the angelic fire condensed from his life soul power to refine a prison. Feng Zaixing is alone inside, releasing his martial soul to protect himself.

When the Radiant Angel, having undergone purification, returned to its body, a wisp of raging fire suddenly attacked, rushing into its veins and flesh.

Feng Zaixing sat as still as an old monk, gritting his teeth, sweating profusely, stubbornly refusing to relax, carefully guiding the holy flame through his body.

The angel is a martial spirit, and the body is also a martial spirit, so they should advance together.

However, the objective pain did not change because of his strong will. Every time, not long after, this desperate boy would collapse and be rushed forward by Mu Ye to be put into the prepared medicinal bath tub to repair his blood-stained, broken body.

In this deliberately created deadly situation, Makino made a surprising discovery:

Feng Zaixing's physical attributes are improving at a speed that was previously unattainable, from the degree of soul power condensation and mental strength to the strength of his martial soul, all of which are now on the fast track.

Five months passed quickly.

Amidst the confrontation between Feng Zaixing and Mu Ye, Feng Zaixing suddenly said, "Teacher, our 'Secret of the Body' has been kept by Shrek Academy for ten thousand years, and it is no longer a unique secret manual."

Makino abruptly withdrew his imposing aura, his brows furrowed as he asked, "What are you trying to say?"

The loss of "The Secret of the Body" for ten thousand years is his greatest pain.

"Since uniqueness is gone, let's just let go completely."

Feng Zaixing took out a copy of "The Secret of the Body" and said, "Summarize some of the Qi and Blood cultivation methods and combat techniques in 'The Secret of the Body,' and publish them to the whole world, setting aside sectarian biases."

"At the same time, we will announce to the outside world that cultivators of Qi and Blood are welcome to come to our sect to exchange ideas and share resources. In this way, our sect will have done a great favor and won the hearts of many Soul Masters."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye frowned deeply and said with difficulty, "Breaking with convention and making a comeback... that puts me in a very difficult position..."

"There's no other way. The reputation of the Body Sect is far inferior to that of the four major powers. How can it revive itself without a good reputation? How can it attract new talents?"

Feng Zaixing sighed softly, "Shrek Academy was invincible for 20,000 years, the Tang Sect's myths are everywhere; the Spirit Pagoda is embedded in every aspect of a Soul Master's life, the War God Hall has the support of the Federation, and what about us? What unique label do we have?"

"After much thought, we realize that our sect's advantage lies in the cultivation of Qi and Blood, but the cultivation of the physical body and the martial soul are relatively rare and the inheritance is unstable. I think it's time for our sect to make a change."

Taking advantage of Shi Tang's low reputation, bestow favors upon all powerful soul masters in the world, earning the title of the progenitor of bloodline and qi, and making all bloodline soul masters in the world acknowledge our sect as the legitimate successor!

Makino looked conflicted, his face contorted in distress. "Is...is there really no other way?"

I felt terrible about having to give away the secret manual I had just received, which I hadn't even had a chance to enjoy.

Feng Zaixing shook his head, raised his fists to his chest, and continued to persuade him:

"Hasn't our sect already developed a method over the past ten thousand years to enable all martial soul geniuses with abundant qi and blood to complete a second awakening? This is also our unique advantage."

"We can establish an outer sect to recruit Soul Masters with strong Qi and Blood who do not possess their own Martial Soul, create a benchmark, and promote it widely."

"As long as we spread the word that we have the ability to awaken the martial souls of geniuses with their blood and qi, the heroes of the world will idolize us just like they idolize Shrek Academy, or even more fanatically."

After a moment's thought, Feng Zaixing drew up a grand blueprint for Muye:

"Teacher, just think about it. At that time, the inner sect will have elite Soul Masters with their physical bodies, and the outer sect will have a large number of top geniuses whose Martial Souls have undergone secondary evolution. How could our sect not prosper? Who in the world would dare to underestimate us?"

"Who doesn't want their martial soul to evolve? Who doesn't want to become a top-tier powerhouse with vigorous vitality?"

"We've already been terribly harmed by Shrek Academy. If we don't change, I fear that ten thousand years from now, Douluo Star will be devoid of the Body Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Makino swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing back and forth.

Then, he closed his eyes in pain and said in a trembling voice:

"Alright, let's do it this way. From today onwards, the Body Sect will establish an outer sect, and the original members will become core members of the inner sect... Those sons of bitches from Shrek Academy, we'll settle this score with them later!"

"Don't worry, teacher. With us working together, we'll make those bastards pay the price!"

Feng Zaixing spoke with confidence, having already devised a plan for World War II during this period.

In the [Six Stars Society] group, urging all members, who were also the inner and outer disciples of the Body Sect, to cultivate diligently, Feng Zaixing withdrew his gaze and looked at Le Zhengyang in the distance.

"Ancestor, we'll handle the task of summarizing the Qi and Blood cultivation methods and combat techniques; we'll leave the publicity to you."

"It's nothing."

Le Zhengyang readily agreed, his old eyes beaming with joy. He liked Feng Zaixing more and more for his boldness, ruthlessness, and gratitude.

Six months later.

Soul-Guiding TV stations in major cities simultaneously broadcast the Body Sect's bombshell announcement: the reveal of "The Secret of the Body"!
