Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 255 Deputy Sect Master, the Foundation of the Body Sect

Just as Zhou Sichen was lost in thought in his room, there was a gentle knock on the closed door.

Zhou Sichen looked up, composed herself, and got up to open the door.

The door slowly opened, and a graceful young woman came into his view. She had a slender figure, a gentle temperament, and her eyes and brows were full of liveliness and vitality.

"Hello, my name is Vina." The girl's lips parted slightly, her voice clear and melodious, like a mountain spring flowing.

Zhou Sichen was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and politely replied, "Zhou Sichen. Miss Vina, what brings you here?"

Vina smiled, revealing a perfectly timed smile, and said, "The sect leader asked me to invite you to the council hall, saying there are important matters to discuss."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen nodded subconsciously: "Okay."

Seeing that he agreed, Vina's smile deepened, and she said softly, "Come with me."

Having said that, he turned around and led the way.

Looking at Vina leading the way, Zhou Sichen's heart stirred slightly.

The girl in front of me is no ordinary person. She is not only a disciple with outstanding talent in the Body Sect, but also an incomparably noble princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and possesses an extremely rare twin martial soul.

Zhou Sichen pondered to himself that perhaps he could use her as a starting point to make contact with the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Vina seemed to notice Zhou Sichen's scrutiny and suddenly asked, "I heard from Aotian that you defeated him without even using your second awakening of your martial soul, and you even have the same original martial soul as the sect master. It's true that seeing is believing."

Zhou Sichen smiled modestly and replied in a calm tone, "You flatter me."

The two did not exchange many words after that and continued on their way.

Before long, Zhou Sichen followed Vina to the council hall. Vina stepped aside and gestured for him to enter: "Please."

Zhou Sichen nodded and walked steadily into the main hall.

The elders of the Body Sect who had appeared earlier were now sitting neatly in the main hall.

When everyone saw Zhou Sichen walk in, their expressions instantly became incredibly eager and expectant.

Their eyes gleamed with excitement, as if they saw hope for the future rise of the Body Sect.

Clearly, Du Bu Si had told everyone about his previous conversation with Zhou Si Chen without reservation.

Upon seeing Zhou Sichen enter the main hall, Du Busi immediately smiled and waved, enthusiastically calling out, "Sichen, come here quickly!"

As he spoke, Du Busi patted the seat below him, gesturing for Zhou Sichen to sit there.

That position originally belonged to Jin Peng, the Grand Elder of the Body Sect and concurrently the Vice Sect Master.

At this moment, Jin Peng had already taken the seat of the right-hand man of Du Bu Si, and none of the elders present showed any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, they all had kind expressions and seemed to approve of this arrangement.

Zhou Sichen was not one to mince words. He first bowed to everyone present, displaying proper manners and humility.

Then, with steady steps, he slowly walked over and sat down next to Poison Undying.

Du Busi looked at Zhou Sichen with a face full of satisfaction and slowly said, "I have discussed your matter in detail with the elders. Although you are only at the fifth ring at present, given your strength and the amazing talent you have shown, I would like to announce you as the deputy sect master of the Body Sect from today."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen, who had just sat down, was stunned for a moment and subconsciously repeated, "Vice Sect Master?"

This outcome was completely unexpected by Zhou Sichen. In his original plan, at most he would just strip Long Aotian of his position as the young sect leader and then give the position to himself.

But now, he has suddenly become the deputy sect leader, a huge surprise that left him momentarily speechless.

But Zhou Sichen was a meticulous person, and after a moment's thought, he quickly understood the reason.

With his extraordinary talent and ambition, it is indeed impossible for him to limit himself to just one Body Sect.

By giving him the position of deputy sect leader, the Body Sect will not affect the Body Sect's original development and management system.

Furthermore, both sides can support each other and make progress together in the future, which is truly a win-win situation for both parties.

Seeing Zhou Sichen's reaction, Du Busi smiled and nodded, adding, "Originally, the position of Vice Sect Master was held concurrently by Elder Jin. Now that you have arrived, it is truly fitting for you to be the Vice Sect Master."

Zhou Sichen had already figured it out and didn't refuse.

He stood up, cupped his hands to Du Busi and the elders present, and said earnestly, "From now on, we are all one family. I won't say any more polite words. The sect trusts me so much, and I will definitely do my best to repay the sect in the future."

With Zhou Sichen's words, everyone present nodded silently. They could feel his sincerity from his firm gaze and earnest words.

Immediately afterwards, everyone stood up, and the First Elder Jin Peng took the lead in bowing to Zhou Sichen, saying in a loud voice, "Greetings, Vice Sect Master."

Zhou Sichen also quickly stood up to return the greeting, saying humbly, "Elders, there's no need for such formalities. Please sit down."

Although everyone in this hall is a titled Douluo powerhouse with profound soul power and extraordinary strength.

But ever since Du Busi told them that Zhou Sichen had another terrifying martial soul, all the titled Douluo powerhouses present have treated Zhou Sichen as an equal and treated him with respect.

In the world of Soul Masters, those who have achieved mastery are always considered teachers. Although Zhou Sichen is just a junior, he possesses terrifying strength that rivals that of a Title Douluo.

In addition, given Zhou Sichen's own status, no one had any complaints. On the contrary, they were full of anticipation for Zhou Sichen becoming the deputy sect leader.

With Zhou Sichen's help, we look forward to a brighter future for the Body Sect.

Poison Undying chuckled, his laughter hearty and joyful, as if he were extremely satisfied with everything before him.

He looked at Zhou Sichen with admiration in his eyes and said, "I have just discussed it with the elders and the ceremony for your appointment as vice sect leader will be held a month from now."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He had thought that the position of deputy sect leader might be hastily decided, but he did not expect that Du Busi would attach so much importance to it and even hold a special investiture ceremony for him.

This is clearly not just a nominal position. The decisive trust shown by this is enough to demonstrate Poison Undying's determination to work together with him to promote the development of the Body Sect.

Zhou Sichen quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said sincerely and respectfully, "Thank you, Sect Master."

From that moment on, his address to Du Busi changed from "senior" to "Sect Master." This change in address was not only an acknowledgment of his status but also an acceptance of his responsibilities.

In Shrek Academy, Zhou Sichen is the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master, but later in the Body Sect, he will be the true Vice Sect Master, shouldering the important responsibility of assisting the Sect Master in managing the sect and enhancing its strength.

All of this has only taken a few hours since Zhou Sichen arrived at the Body Sect.

His identity underwent a dramatic change in such a short period of time, which makes one marvel at the wonder of fate.

Of course, the reason why Du Busi was able to make this decision, and why no one in the Body Sect objected, was also based on Zhou Sichen's amazing talent and terrifying strength.

In addition, the Sea God Pavilion he represents is a leading and powerful force in the Soul Master world, and its influence should not be underestimated.

Furthermore, Zhou Sichen explicitly told Du Busi that the Star Luo Empire had reached a cooperation agreement with him, which undoubtedly added a powerful boost to the future development of the Body Sect.

For all these reasons, the entire Body Sect wholeheartedly supported Zhou Sichen's plan, filled with confidence and expectations for him. Zhou Sichen looked at everyone present; they were all core figures of the Body Sect, each elder possessing rich experience and formidable strength.

Zhou Sichen cleared his throat and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Sect Master, Elders, in addition to the matter of cooperation, I have also brought some gifts for the sect."

Upon hearing this, Poison Immortal raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes: "A gift?"

Everyone secretly wondered what kind of gift Zhou Sichen could bring up so solemnly.

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly and said slowly, "However, it will take time to fulfill this gift, but I believe that after hearing about it, everyone will have more confidence in my plan."

Having said that, he didn't keep anyone in suspense and began to explain the method of the soul.

He described in detail the birth, function, and acquisition of spirits, explaining every detail clearly.

At first, no one had any impression of the so-called Soul Spirit Technique, since it was a completely new concept that had never appeared in the Soul Master world.

Their faces were full of anticipation as they listened quietly to Zhou Sichen's explanation.

As Zhou Sichen's narration deepened, everyone's expressions changed, from initial doubt to shock, and finally, their eyes gleamed as if they had discovered a new world.

Although everyone present was already an exceptionally powerful individual, and their own soul ring configurations were already fixed, they had no chance of obtaining a soul spirit.

But when they thought of the younger generation of disciples in the sect, they realized that if they could possess a ten-thousand-year-old soul spirit, the increase and improvement in their strength would be enormous.

This will not only allow young disciples to make a name for themselves in the world of Soul Masters, but also enhance the strength and prestige of the entire Body Sect.

Upon hearing Zhou Sichen mention that they had already cooperated with the Star Dou Great Forest, Du Busi and the others frowned again, a sense of worry rising in their hearts.

Poison Undying couldn't help but ask, "Our Body Sect used to hunt down many 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, which caused Di Tian and his gang to hold a grudge against us. Now that the Body Sect has also joined in promoting the Soul Spirit Technique, will things happen in the Star Dou Great Forest...?"

He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present understood his concerns. The soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were powerful, and if they attacked the Body Sect because of past grudges, it would naturally be detrimental to the Body Sect's development.

Zhou Sichen seemed to have anticipated their concerns, smiled, and said confidently:
"No, they can put aside their grudges with Shrek Academy. I believe that as long as the sect is willing to promote the Soul Spirit Technique and create a win-win situation for Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, the Star Dou Great Forest will not bring up the old issues again."

"After all, everyone hopes to see the Soul Master world and the Soul Beast world coexist peacefully and develop together."

Hearing Zhou Sichen's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces lit up with smiles of satisfaction. They all said, "That's good, that's good."

With their worries dispelled, they had more confidence in Zhou Sichen's plan.

Then, with a slightly grave expression, Du Bu Si said, "However, I estimate that things will be a bit difficult with the Spirit Pagoda."

Jin Peng explained with a worried expression, "Yes, entering the Spirit Transmission Tower to become a Spirit Transmission Master means leaving the sect, which is a huge loss for the Body Sect."

“It takes a lot of resources and effort for the Body Sect to cultivate an outstanding disciple. Once they leave the sect to become a Spirit Transmission Master, the loss to the sect is considerable.”

Zhou Sichen also expressed his helplessness, sighing and saying, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just make exceptions for the Body Sect."

In his previous in-depth conversations with the members of the Body Sect, Zhou Sichen gained a profound understanding of the Body Sect's personnel structure and strength distribution.

Although the Body Sect is not large in scale, with fewer than a thousand people in total, its foundation should not be underestimated, especially in the cultivation of Body Soul Masters with spiritual attributes, where it has achieved remarkable results, with a total of nine such Soul Masters.

The one with the highest cultivation level is the Third Elder, whose martial soul is the Brain.

With years of diligent training and profound talent, the Third Elder's soul power level has reached level 95, making him a Super Douluo and renowned in the soul master world.

The most talented among them is Vina. As the princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, she not only has a noble status, but also possesses an enviable twin martial soul.

Her second spirit is also the Brain. Based on the unique advantages given to her by twin spirits, her first spirit ring of the Brain spirit can reach the ten-thousand-year level. Given time, her future achievements are limitless, and she is destined to shine in the world of spirit masters.

Besides the Third Elder and Vina, the other seven people are also formidable.

The lowest cultivation level among them was three rings, while the highest was eight rings. They all demonstrated remarkable strength and potential at their respective stages of cultivation.

Therefore, given the current stage of the Soul Transmission Technique, the nine spirit-attribute Soul Masters of the Body Sect alone are sufficient to handle all the work of the Spirit Transmission Masters.

After all, Spirit Masters have a greater need for Spiritual Attribute Soul Masters, and these Soul Masters from the Body Sect have extremely high attainments in the control and application of spiritual power.

As a level 95 Super Douluo, the Third Elder is fully capable of replacing Zhou Sichen as the Chief Spirit Transmission Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, both in terms of strength and prestige.

However, whether it is the Third Elder, Vina, or the other seven, they are all the backbone of the Body Sect, the hope for the future development of the Body Sect, and the well-deserved pillars of strength.

Handing them over to the Spirit Pagoda so easily was a painful decision for both Sect Master Du Busi and the elders; no one was willing to do so.

After all, these Soul Masters are the result of years of careful cultivation by the Body Sect, and are the sect's precious assets.

Once they become Spirit Transmission Masters, according to the rules of the Spirit Transmission Tower, they must leave their original sect, which is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Body Sect.

Everyone fell silent; the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

After a moment, Zhou Sichen broke the silence and patiently explained, "Although becoming a Spirit Transmission Master requires leaving one's original sect or family, it does not affect the sect's strength."

"Spirit Masters hold a special position and resources in the Soul Master world. They can still maintain close ties with sects and, to some extent, bring benefits to the sects."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "With the Third Elder overseeing the Spirit Transmission Tower and replacing me as the Chief Spirit Transmission Master, I can relax a bit and save more time to focus on cultivation and planning for the future of the sect."

"The faster I improve my strength, the more beneficial it will be for the development of the Body Sect." Zhou Sichen's words were clear and logical, and his analysis was very reasonable, which made everyone think.

Upon hearing this, Poison Undying also fell into deep thought.

Indeed, exchanging the Third Elder's time for Zhou Sichen's time is undoubtedly worthwhile in the long run.

Zhou Sichen is exceptionally talented and his strength is improving at an extremely rapid pace. His growth is crucial to the future rise and fall of the Body Sect.

The stronger he becomes, the more benefits the Body Sect will gain in the future, with enormous potential in both resource acquisition and enhancing its status in the Soul Master world.

Moreover, although the Spirit Tower has always emphasized impartiality and fair treatment of every Soul Master, in practice there are still some areas where flexibility is possible.

It's actually possible for the Third Elder to select better soul spirits for the Soul Masters of the Body Sect at the Spirit Pagoda.

After all, everyone has selfish desires. It is only natural to try to gain some benefits for one's former sect without violating the major principles. Zhou Sichen also expressed his understanding of this.

Zhou Sichen himself was no exception; he also had his own considerations.

In his view, if one were to find a sect to protect the nation, the Body Sect would undoubtedly be the most suitable.

The entire Body Sect, like Poison Undying, possesses the spirit of sacrificing oneself for the country, and such loyalty and sense of responsibility are extremely rare.

More importantly, everyone has a chance to awaken their own Martial Soul, which means that the Body Sect has a broad foundation and potential for development.

With proper nurturing and guidance, the Body Sect will undoubtedly become a powerful force that cannot be ignored in the future.

It is of great significance to both the landscape of the Soul Master world and the stability and prosperity of the country.
