Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 92 Establishment of the Body Sect

"I agree to the Dream Cult's conditions!!"

Li Fei nodded. If the Spirit Empire were established later, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would definitely be reformed and become an academy of the Spirit Empire. Sending people from sects there wouldn't be anything unacceptable.

Moreover, it would take a long time for her sect to truly grow in size and have a large number of students. According to the current plan, the Heaven Dou Empire might already be in Qian Renxue's hands.

"Alright, here is your graduation certificate and the viscount title certificate His Majesty gave you before you came!" Meng Shenji took out the graduation certificate and a silver token that he had prepared in advance from his storage space and handed them to Li Fei.

"Thank you, Master Meng. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Li Fei took it and looked at it for a moment, then put it into his storage bracelet. He bowed slightly to Meng Shenji and left.

Zhong Weibiao and the others followed Li Fei out of the classroom.

As Li Fei stepped out of the classroom, he looked at the azure sky in the distance and felt a sense of freedom and ease. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his arms to the sky, as if to embrace the entire sky. His heart was also transformed.

"Li Fei, what are you doing?!" Zhong Weibiao was puzzled. Why was he opening his arms for no reason?

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Li Fei smiled slightly, pulled his arms back, and strode out of the school with the words "I'm leaving!"

"Now I finally understand why the martial arts masters in novels are so keen on seeking the power of emotion. It's not just about cultivating one's mind, but about using this process to master mental strength—a power unique to the human will!"

As Li Fei walked down the street, a relaxed smile appeared on his face. His perception of everything around him had changed. He could see far more than usual in any person, tree, or even building.

It was precisely because of this change that Li Fei felt his soul power and blood circulation could draw more power from heaven and earth, while consuming less energy.

Subduing one's mind is the foundation of martial arts training. Only by knowing what one truly desires and being able to control these instinctive thoughts can one truly cultivate oneself. It was at this moment that Li Fei understood this principle.

"I almost forgot that the first step in quiet cultivation is to train mental strength. Fortunately, after receiving my graduation certificate, a change occurred within me, which made me aware of this power!"

After becoming aware of his mental power, Li Fei could feel that his soul power and blood energy seemed to have come alive, constantly changing with Li Fei's breath and movements, matching his every action.

Just then, a group of soldiers in bright silver armor approached from afar, walking in an orderly and dignified manner before Li Fei. The captain of the bright silver armor at the head of the group respectfully said, "Viscount Li Fei, His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered me to escort you to the Eastern Palace."

"lead the way!"

Li Fei nodded and followed the group to the East Palace. Like the Imperial Palace, it was a palace complex built with white stone, but it was much smaller in scale than the Imperial Palace and the Spirit Hall. However, it still had everything it needed.

There were patrolling soldiers everywhere; these were the Crown Prince's private troops, though not many in number.

Near the surrounding gardens and rockeries, palace maids could be seen chatting and laughing as they busied themselves.

Outside the largest palace, Li Fei saw Xue Qinghe, who had transformed from Qian Renxue, standing at the entrance, smiling at him. Beside her stood a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a long golden dress, exuding elegance and grace.

"Li Fei greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Fei stepped forward, smiled, and respectfully greeted Qian Renxue.

"Alright, if you're still acting like this here, come in with me!"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes in annoyance, then turned and led her Crown Princess toward the Wenhua Hall.

As the Crown Prince's office, Wenhua Hall usually had the emperor's spies, but these people had long been controlled by the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Hall, and the daily reports were what Qian Renxue wanted Xueye to see.

In addition, Xueye's body began to weaken slowly due to the toxins that Qian Renxue had administered, combined with the scent on her body.

The healing-type Soul Masters of the Heaven Dou Empire couldn't detect any problems at all.

Upon entering the Wenhua Hall, Li Fei made no attempt to stand on ceremony, immediately plopping down in the Crown Prince's reserved seat and beginning to peruse the documents on the table.

It contains mostly trivial matters and rarely touches on the core issues of the empire.

Qian Renxue returned to her original appearance, sat down next to Li Fei, rested her head on Li Fei's shoulder, and enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.

The Crown Princess was very sensible and turned to walk towards the room next door to deal with the memorials that she had not yet finished.

"Xue'er, it seems the royal family has long suspected you. The Crown Prince has entrusted you with handling matters such as who stole from whom today, and what harm that Soul Master caused the day before yesterday. There are very few truly core matters concerning the country's core areas such as household registration, military affairs, and official duties."

Li Fei casually tossed the memorial in his hand onto the table, as if he had expected it all along.

"I know that after his two sons died, the royal family began to suspect me, especially Prince Xue Xing. He even personally taught Xue Beng to hide his talents and become a complete playboy to disguise himself. He thought I didn't know, but unfortunately, I had already hypnotized Xue Beng with the help of a mental-attribute Soul Douluo after your reminder. Even if I don't inherit the throne in the future, but Xue Beng does, the entire empire will still be in my hands."

Qian Renxue slapped away Li Fei's hand, which had already slipped inside her clothes, her face slightly flushed, and said with a hint of mockery.

Li Fei had thought about avalanche a long time ago. Xue Ye was already old, and the right to inherit the throne could only be given to his son who was still alive. Putting aside Qian Renxue, how could he let go of Xue Beng, the only one still alive?

Just as Tang San was able to discover that Huo Yuhao was born with the destiny of Douluo Continent and intervened and arranged Huo Yuhao's growth, will Tang San, the protagonist of Douluo Continent I, be similarly perceived by the Sea God and the Asura God, two gods who are very concerned about Douluo Continent?

He didn't believe that Tang San's acquisition of the Sea God and Asura God's divine positions was entirely due to his own efforts. The most likely explanation was that it was the result of guidance from the Asura God and the Sea God. He needed to be fully prepared.

Of course, this doesn't mean Li Fei necessarily wants to treat Tang San as a hypothetical enemy, but rather to eliminate any possibility of future failure.

"That's good! Xue'er, shouldn't we discuss things between the two of us now?" Li Fei gently shook his slightly reddened hand and whispered in Qian Renxue's ear.

After saying that, she gently blew on it, and Qian Renxue instantly shivered, her face flushed red, and she stammered, "What...thing...about...us...?!"

"Of course, it's an arrangement for me!" Li Fei said with a smile, feigning teasing, "What?! Did you have other ideas in mind?!"

Seeing the shock on Li Fei's face, clearly not expecting her to be like this, Qian Renxue's expression instantly turned cold. She realized Li Fei was being deliberately mocked and kicked him off the chair.

"Let's see if you dare to do it again!" Qian Renxue sneered.

"Xue'er, I was wrong, I was overthinking it!" Li Fei gently rubbed his chest, slowly stood up, walked to Qian Renxue, hugged her in his arms, and smiled apologetically.

"Hmph!" Qian Renxue turned her head away with a slightly arrogant air.

"I really want to ask, what are my next plans?! Can my Body Sect still be rebuilt?!" Li Fei, being very straightforward, pulled Qian Renxue's head back and asked.

"Sigh!" Qian Renxue sighed helplessly and said, "You don't need to do anything! More than one-fifth of the officials in Tiandou City have already been completely hypnotized and brainwashed and become my people. There's nothing you need to do! You just need to focus on doing what you want to do. I've already arranged everything for you. To the outside world, it will be announced that it's an agreement between you and me."

"Why do I feel like I'm living off a woman?" Li Fei murmured softly.

This prompted Qian Renxue to roll her eyes in annoyance.

After spending some time together, Li Fei and Qian Renxue left. When they left, a new land deed appeared in his storage bracelet. It was for the piece of land near Tian Dou City in Sunset Forest. Moreover, when Li Fei arrived there, a construction team was already working on it.

After observing for a while, Li Fei handed the construction drawings to the construction team leader and left.

With Qian Renxue's status as the crown prince, notices soon appeared throughout the provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire recruiting martial soul awakeners who possessed both body-type and food-type martial souls.

It says that no matter how much innate soul power you have, as long as you have a body-type martial soul or a food-type martial soul, you can enter the sect to study. Not only that, it also says that you will be personally instructed by Li Fei, the champion of the continent-wide advanced soul master elite competition.

The only restriction is that the age cannot exceed ten years old. It's not that Li Fei doesn't want older people, but younger people are more malleable and easier to cultivate loyalty. Most importantly, children in Douluo Continent are much more precocious than children in his previous life. After reaching the age of ten, they are more adept at hiding their thoughts.

By leveraging his title as the champion of the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, he should be able to attract many children whose age meets Li Fei's standards.

Of course, Li Fei's main target was those who had just awakened their martial souls, preferably commoner soul masters. To this end, he asked the Spirit Hall to help him pass on information about those who had just awakened their original martial souls, and then he planned to personally recruit these students.

However, more than three months after the announcement was issued, not a single person with a true martial soul has been found. Even those who have already awakened their martial souls have not come. Fortunately, three newly awakened food-type soul masters have been recruited, with martial souls of tofu, sesame cake, and chicken skin swallow respectively.

Li Fei didn't think much of the first two, but the chicken-skin swallow made him a little jealous. Fortunately, it was meat, which gave him some consolation.

The one who awakened the Tofu Martial Soul was a little girl named Nong Zhi from a remote mountain village in the Heaven Dou Empire. Her family had been making tofu for generations, and her Martial Soul was also tofu. Her Soul Power was at Level 3.

The two boys who awakened the Pancake Martial Soul and the Chicken Skin Swallow Martial Soul are Xin Zhanfei and Fu Lie, respectively, with soul power levels three and five.

Their aptitudes are all average among food-type soul masters; none of them are weak. All three are children from poor families and are very serious about their training.

The purpose of recruiting food-type Soul Masters is to provide them with assistance in the cultivation of the original Soul Master. There is no one more suitable than food-type Soul Masters, whether for nutrition or supplementation during the cultivation process.

For this reason, Li Fei also brought Shen Chenyan from Ze'an City over to be one of the teachers of the Body Sect.

Shen Chenyan's cultivation has now reached the Soul Venerable level. As a food-type Soul Master who does not participate in combat support, Shen Chenyan focuses all three of her Soul Skills on how to regulate the human body. With the blessing of three types of Five Qi Ginseng, she can increase the cultivation speed by at least 50% before becoming a Soul King, and by 10% or 20% after becoming a Soul King. It can be said that the effect is very powerful.

On an open space near the site chosen by the Body Sect, Li Fei was watching the three little ones run, explaining to them as they ran the things they should pay attention to during cultivation and how to make their cultivation faster.

Inside the tent next door, Shen Chenyan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing meditation.

Li Fei taught her his self-created cultivation method, which could increase her cultivation speed by 20%, and this speed would increase again as her meridians were opened. This was one of the rewards Li Fei gave her.

A moment later, Shen Chenyan came out of the tent, sat down next to Li Fei, and said excitedly, "Li Fei, the cultivation method you gave me is amazing! Just a short while ago, I felt my soul power increase a lot!"

"Sister Shen, that's all your misconception. It's just because it's the first time you've practiced my technique, so your soul power cultivation speed is faster than before!" Li Fei explained with a smile.

"Li Fei, no girl will like you if you act like this. You should listen to what the girl says in this situation!" Shen Chenyan complained.

Li Fei smiled slightly awkwardly and continued to watch Nong Zhi and the other two who were training with gritted teeth.

"Li Fei, why do you want to create a sect?! And with such strict restrictions on recruiting members, it will be very difficult for your Body Sect to develop!" Shen Chenyan asked with some doubt.

"I only started this sect on a whim; I don't care whether it succeeds or not!"

Li Fei was well aware that it would take a long time for the Body Sect to fully flourish. This was due to the rarity of Body Martial Souls. To truly establish itself on the continent, it would need at least a decade or more, with enough students and sufficient strength. Otherwise, even if Li Fei himself became a top-tier force on the continent, it would be useless.

"Alright then! Just make sure I don't get shortchanged when I get paid!" Shen Chenyan said nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, Sister Shen, you'll get your share!"

Li Fei was not in a hurry. The establishment of the sect required too many things, and he did not want to waste his cultivation because of the establishment of the Body Sect. In three months, Li Fei's soul power reached level fifty-six, and he successfully condensed the Qi and blood soul ring of the Transformation Realm.
