Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 157 The Actions of the Body Sect
In fact, Jing Hongchen had always wanted to exchange and learn from Shrek Academy, hoping to learn from Shrek Academy's advanced teaching philosophy and training model for Soul Masters and improve the educational level of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for Soul Masters.

After all, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is indeed much inferior in training Soul Masters; they are only good at training Soul Masters, while Shrek Academy is good at training Soul Masters.

Unfortunately, Shrek Academy has consistently rejected his proposals and has never agreed to them.

But now, the situation has changed.

St. Freya Academy won the championship in two consecutive Soul Master Competitions, and its strength and teaching quality are obvious to all.

In Jing Hongchen's view, St. Freya Academy's educational level is clearly unique and worth learning from and emulating.

Originally, he had not considered sending Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen to St. Freya Academy to study.

But after careful consideration, he felt it was time to make a change.

Sending Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen to St. Freya Academy for exchange and study would allow them to gain something, even if they couldn't learn the most core knowledge and skills. Not to mention, it would also allow Meng Hongchen to get closer to Lu Jingming, who is the absolute core of Haiyuan City.

If you're lucky, you might even get to meet the legendary Black Tower Lady and the mysterious developer of the Stigmata.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen believes that it is imperative to carry out exchange and learning activities with St. Freya Academy.

Moreover, by sending Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen there under the guise of exchange and learning, there is no need to worry about them encountering accidents in Haiyuan City.

After all, reputation is crucial for the development of St. Freya Academy, and in order to maintain the academy's reputation, it will definitely do everything in its power to protect the safety of Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen.

"Grandpa, you mean you're sending my brother and me to St. Freya Academy for an exchange program!" Upon hearing this news, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up instantly, and her face revealed an uncontrollable excitement.

She originally thought she would have to wait until the next Soul Master Competition to have a chance to see Lu Jingming again, but she never expected her grandfather to give her such an unexpected surprise.

"Grandpa, is it necessary? St. Freya Academy is indeed very strong, but when it comes to teaching students, I don't think they are necessarily better than our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy." Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly and said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Foolish!" Jing Hongchen usually doted on Meng Hongchen, but he was extremely strict with Xiao Hongchen.

Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's ignorant remarks, his face immediately darkened, and he sternly rebuked him.

"Losing the game itself isn't scary; what's scary is that you can't see the gap between yourself and the other players. Don't you really understand how big the gap is between you and the students from St. Freya Academy?"

Even without being present at the match, Jing Hongchen could clearly sense from watching the recordings on his recording device that the students from St. Freya Academy were incredibly strong, almost overwhelming other soul masters of the same age in every aspect.

Even the prestigious Shrek Academy seemed somewhat outmatched and slightly inferior when facing the students of St. Freya Academy.

Where does Xiao Hongchen get his confidence to believe that in terms of Soul Master training, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can be compared with St. Freya Academy?
"Me!" Xiao Hongchen blushed with embarrassment after being scolded by his grandfather, and was speechless for a moment.

In fact, he was well aware of the gap between himself and the students of St. Freya Academy.

Even aside from Lu Jingming, he wasn't entirely confident he could defeat any of the other students at St. Freya Academy.

Of course, the Robin is an exception as a support-type Soul Master, and Xiao Hongchen disdains to compare himself with a support-type Soul Master.

"It's decided then. I will immediately send someone to St. Freya Academy to discuss the specific details of the exchange program."

Jing Hongchen made the decision swiftly and decisively.

Due to numerous historical issues, Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy have long rejected proposals for exchange and cooperation.

However, the situation at St. Freya Academy was quite different. In Jing Hongchen's view, they had no reason to refuse to exchange and learn from each other.

Although Haiyuan City has demonstrated an astonishing level of development in the field of soul guidance technology, its technological foundation largely relies on the mysterious Black Tower Lady.

Given Lady Black Tower's style of doing things, she obviously wouldn't spend a lot of time personally teaching the students at the academy.

Indeed, this was the case. Although Hei Ta held a nominal position at St. Freya Academy, he never actually stood on the podium or taught a single class to the students.

After all, geniuses are always busy with their research fields, so how can they have time to engage in teaching?
Moreover, from a genius's perspective, spending time teaching a group of mediocre people does not provide any substantial help to their own research.

On the other hand, Lu Jingming was quite pleased to learn that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy intended to send people to exchange and learn.

"Exchange and learning, approved!"

When he received the formal request for exchange and study from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Lu Jingming waved his hand without hesitation and gave an affirmative reply.

Although St. Freya Academy was established only recently, its teaching level was not weak. Jingliu brought the Cloud Cavalry training method, Changli brought the Night Return Army training method, and Keqing brought the Thousand Rock Army training method.

These training methods, after being adapted for local conditions, have all demonstrated remarkable effectiveness.

At least, the training methods of Haiyuan City's Imperial Guards and City Guards are derived from these excellent training methods, extracting the most suitable approach for them.

In Lu Jingming's view, resource support is a crucial foundation for cultivating an excellent Soul Master.

Secondly, it depends on the age of the absorbed spirit rings and the appropriate combination of spirit skills.

Finally, the accumulation of practical experience is equally indispensable. Only through constant practice in battle can a Soul Master truly improve their strength.

St. Freya Academy possesses unique advantages in these aspects.

Sea Abyss City has no shortage of resources, and Honkai energy is a top-tier resource. In practical combat, it has holographic strategy and simulated universes. Furthermore, it has Soul Ring ages and Soul Skills, and now it also possesses Sacred Marks. In short, it lacks nothing. The reason Shrek Academy has maintained its position as a top academy on the Douluo Continent for tens of thousands of years is largely due to its ability to recruit the majority of the continent's most talented students.

Those students who are called "monsters" are not actually cultivated by the academy, but rather they possess extraordinary talent and potential.

What the academy can do is to build a broader platform for these geniuses, give them a higher starting point, and allow them to fully utilize their talents.

Therefore, the so-called "breeding monsters" is actually a false proposition.

To be precise, it's not that the academy produced monsters, but rather that these exceptionally talented students themselves were "monsters."

The true teaching quality of the academy is not reflected in the production of a few top students, but rather in the level of a large number of ordinary students.

With a large student body, there will always be one or two exceptionally talented individuals. However, the level that a large number of ordinary students reach after being trained by the academy is the true reflection of the academy's teaching quality.

Although St. Freya Academy possesses a wealth of advanced soul-guided technology theories and techniques left behind by the Black Tower, these theories are obscure and difficult to understand and apply for the average person.

By sending some students to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for advanced studies, they can be exposed to more practical and systematic soul tool manufacturing techniques, thus cultivating a group of mid-to-low-level soul masters for Haiyuan City.

Once these students have a solid foundation, combined with the research theories left by the Black Tower, it will be only a matter of time before they become advanced Soul Masters.

Based on all the above considerations, St. Freya Academy has no reason to refuse this opportunity for exchange and learning with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

As for the specific details of the exchange and learning, Lu Jingming didn't need to worry too much.

The academy will have someone in charge of arranging all the details. He only needs to nod in agreement on the decision-making process, and then he can just wait for good news.

Just as St. Freya Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were discussing exchange and learning matters in full swing, other corners of the continent were not at peace; an undercurrent was quietly surging.

Within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, at a place of natural barrier, lies the renowned Body Sect.

In a spacious council chamber, a burly old man with short, dark green hair slammed his wine glass onto the table with a loud bang that echoed through the silent hall.

"Holy Mark, hey, damn it, it's really a good thing!"

The old man's face was full of resentment, and his eyes gleamed with greed. Then, his tone changed, and he sighed with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, that Snow Moon Douluo is not someone to be trifled with. With my limited abilities, I'm not sure I can defeat her!"

This old man is none other than the Body Douluo, the sect master of the Body Sect, Poison Undying, a level 98 Super Douluo.

For a long time, the Body Sect has always acted in a simple and brutal manner. If they want something, their first reaction is to forcibly seize it.

They dared to rob even giants like Shrek Academy and Mingde Hall.

However, the situation was completely different when facing the Holy Mark. The Limit Douluo's combat power displayed by Snow Moon Douluo made them wary.

Moreover, there is more than one Title Douluo in Haiyuan City, and its defensive strength should not be underestimated.

Moreover, the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire are currently in an alliance, so any move they make will have far-reaching consequences.

Having already secretly joined the Heavenly Soul Empire as a national protector sect, the Body Sect had to be cautious and could not easily provoke trouble.

Moreover, Haiyuan City has already shared the benefits with various forces regarding the Sacred Mark, and the Heavenly Soul Empire has also gotten a share of the spoils.

Under these circumstances, openly seizing the Holy Mark would undoubtedly be asking for trouble and is certainly not a wise move.

"I can't easily steal the Holy Mark, but I'm determined to get Huo Yuhao!" Poison Undying suddenly shouted.

"Jin Peng, gather the men and come with me to Shrek City to meet that old bastard Xuan Zi. I heard he was slashed by Snow Moon Douluo and hasn't fully recovered yet. I wonder if that news is true?"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of figures appeared in front of him like ghosts.

These people came in all shapes and sizes, and their heights and weights varied, but each of them exuded a powerful yet restrained aura that made them a force to be reckoned with.

A closer look reveals that a certain part of their bodies is significantly different from that of ordinary people, showcasing their unique original martial soul.

"Come with me, let's go and bring back our Body Sect disciples." Poison Immortal waved his hand and gave the order.

Then, he transformed into a streak of dark green light and shot into the sky like an arrow, with the crowd behind him following closely behind, rushing headlong towards Shrek City with great momentum.

In the eyes of the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao possesses the extremely rare Body Martial Soul, the Spirit Eye. Based on this alone, he should rightfully be a disciple of the Body Sect.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao possesses twin martial souls, with his second martial soul being the incredibly powerful ultimate ice attribute.

How could such an extraordinary talent not tempt Poison Undying?
I had previously heard that Xuanzi of Shrek Academy was seriously injured in a conflict with Snow Moon Douluo and has not yet fully recovered.

This news gave Poison Undying a sense of opportunity, and his confidence grew even stronger.

The other titled Douluo elders of the Body Sect did not raise any objections to the domineering decision that Poison could not kill.

It is easy to see from their consistent attitude that they are in complete agreement with Poison Undying on this matter.

In the mindset of the Body Sect, anyone who possesses a Body Martial Soul is naturally a disciple of the Body Sect, and this idea is deeply rooted in the hearts of every elder.
