Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 50 The New Era of the Body Sect

As the Qi and Blood increase, the Qi and Blood Spear Spirit also grows stronger, which is a good thing, meaning that the fusion between the Spear Spirit and the Qi and Blood is going smoothly.

Xu Yuan was also very motivated to cultivate.

"With the existence of the blood-blood contract, your cultivation of blood-blood power has indeed accelerated a lot." Mu Ye found it quite strange.

Because Xu Yuan's main martial soul resides in his brain, although he can cultivate many of the Body Sect's secret techniques and has a good talent for cultivating these techniques, his growth in qi and blood has always been a hurdle.

Although it seems that Xu Yuan has only been condensing his blood and qi for a little over two months, Mu Ye has actually been observing the strength of his blood and qi for more than a year. Compared with Xu Yuan's senior brother, he is really far behind.

"Well, so the teacher might want to consider this approach to expand the scope of the Body Sect's disciple recruitment," Xu Yuan suggested.

Makino frowned, not expecting Xu Yuan to bring this up.

The Body Sect has undoubtedly declined in the present day.

If it weren't for his relationship with Zhenhua, possessing a four-word battle armor, and still being among the strongest in the Douluo Continent with the power of a Limit Douluo, the Body Sect might not even be considered a first-rate force now.

Of course, the Body Sect has few disciples because Body Martial Soul owners are rare, and it does not have any special industry advantages. As times have changed, it has gradually declined, but it is very resilient.

The previous sect leader of the Body Sect was a Limit Douluo.

The current sect leader, Mu Ye, is a four-word battle armor master and a god-level mecha pilot.

The next prospective sect leader, Aruheng, has an outstanding martial soul. He has been nurtured by the Body Sect's innate secret techniques since childhood and has the potential to cultivate a flawless golden body. As long as he doesn't die young, he will definitely be a top-tier fighter in the future.

In this respect, the cultivation secrets and methods of the Body Sect are undoubtedly quite powerful, enabling them to produce high-quality works generation after generation even when disciples are scarce.

In terms of lineage, the Body Sect can rival Shrek Tang Sect and challenge the Spirit Pagoda. However, the Body Sect is a sect with a small number of members and no special industries. It also cannot monopolize the soul spirit industry like the Spirit Pagoda, thus gradually declining over the past ten thousand years.

However, if this situation could be changed, for example, by increasing the number of disciples in the Body Sect.

Why does the Body Sect only accept disciples with Body Martial Soul?

Initially, it was indeed because a group of Body Spirit Martial Masters gathered together for mutual support, but as it developed, the Body Spirit Secret Techniques were perfected generation after generation. In fact, the core of the Body Spirit Sect has always been the cultivation of Qi and Blood.

Without a physical martial soul, the cultivation of qi and blood will be greatly hindered, so the Body Sect has never recruited soul masters who do not have a physical martial soul.

Zhenhua is a special case.

Following Zhenhua, Xu Yuan's suggestion seemed to mark the beginning of a new era for the Body Sect.

Makino fell into thought.

If the Blood Contract can truly make a Soul Master's Blood Cultivation smoother, without requiring the same level of mastery as a Body Martial Soul, but at least making it easier to get started and cultivate, then it seems that this already meets the entry requirements for the Body Sect.

If Xu Yuan continues his exploration and truly manages to transform his Qi and Blood into a Martial Soul, allowing the Martial Soul to merge with his Qi and Blood, and the Martial Soul's attached Soul Ring becomes the Qi and Blood's attached Soul Ring, then mastering this method would inevitably be comparable to his original Martial Soul.

Furthermore, is a Qi and Blood Martial Soul even eligible for a second awakening?

Theoretically speaking, it is possible!

Makino was truly moved.

He gave up because he neglected his cultivation in pursuit of the limits of mecha, which damaged his foundation during a training session and prevented him from breaking through to Super Douluo.

However, if the Body Sect still has a chance to rise from the ashes—cough cough, a chance to make a comeback—then he, as the sect leader, might as well regain his former glory!

"I'll consider it."

In today's continent, the top powers have already been divided, and the Body Sect faces great pressure if it wants to rise again.

"Teacher, no rush. The Body Sect can quietly expand its disciple recruitment scope. My Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique can actually be included as a Body Secret Technique. With the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique, the suitable martial soul is not a spear type, but a martial soul with the five elements attribute, or a martial soul with the potential to devour and digest."

Unlike his treatment of others, Xu Yuan was willing to hand over the Devouring Heaven and Earth Great Technique to the Body Sect.

"No need. When the disciples of the Body Sect need your unique skill in the future, let them come to you to learn it themselves." Mu Ye waved his hand, not agreeing to include the Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique into the Body Sect's secret arts.

This unique skill was originally Xu Yuan's own.

After a week of practice, Xu Yuan had mastered Zhen Hua's techniques and was beginning to adapt to the new training schedule after completing the Qi and Blood Contract.

"Teacher, I should go to the Spirit Pagoda to ascend to higher spiritual status."

The Spirit Ascension Platform only checks the admission ticket; the Soul Master's identity is not recorded. Therefore, the admission ticket can be auctioned. Similarly, once you enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, you will not be completely monitored by the Spirit Pagoda.

The reason it's not completely monitored is that staff are required to watch the surveillance when people enter the Ascension Platform. However, without knowing the identities of those entering the Ascension Platform, this information will not be compiled or organized as data.

Therefore, Xu Yuan has no need to worry that his situation will be included in the Soul Master's file after being summarized by the Spirit Pagoda, and thus seen by Qian Gu Dong Feng.

"Let's go to the Intermediate Spirit Pagoda." Zhenhua took out two tickets to the Intermediate Spirit Pagoda: "These were given to you by your uncle. The Intermediate Spirit Pagoda allows Soul Masters below level 70 to enter. Neither your teacher nor I can help you, so I'll find a blacksmith in the association to accompany you."

Xu Yuan nodded.

Zhenhua made a phone call, and soon there was a knock on his office door.

"Enter."

"President."

The person who entered was a young man, with a burly build, but judging from his face, he was no more than thirty years old.

"This is Zhao Long, a level 5 blacksmith in the association. He has level 58 soul power. With his strength, he should be able to hunt soul beasts for you to raise your spirit level."

He was not yet thirty years old, possessed level fifty-eight soul power, and was also a level five blacksmith.

The blacksmith profession becomes more sought after as you progress, because the early stages are all about building a solid foundation.

With a soul power level of 58, already a level 5 blacksmith, advancing to level 6 shouldn't be difficult. The real challenge might be level 7 soul forging.

However, given his situation, he clearly has ample time to attempt Soul Forging, and once successful, he will become a Saint Craftsman!

Throughout the entire continent, master craftsmen are already extremely rare blacksmiths.

"Zhao Long, this is Xu Yuan. Your mission this time is to help him complete the Spirit Ascension, raising his five-hundred-year-old soul to one thousand years. If he can still withstand it, raise it to one thousand five hundred years." Zhen Hua issued the mission.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Long replied crisply, "Okay."

"Hmm." Zhenhua looked at Zhao Long, nodded, and said, "After Xiao Yuan's soul spirit is fully ascended, you can ascend your own soul spirit. This time, directly raise your second soul spirit to the limit of less than ten thousand years."

"Thank you, Chairman!"

Due to technical limitations, the Ascension Platform is not yet able to ascend souls to the ten-thousand-year level.

(I got confused when I wrote it before. Level 4 blacksmiths don't need spirit forging. It's level 5 who does. Level 4 is a thousand-forging-one-grade blacksmith, just starting to get in touch with spirituality. The theory is still correct. It's just that I didn't think that sentence through at the time. I've already corrected it.)
