Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 208 A true man would rather die than submit! Unless food and lodging are provided...

"Holy crap—Shura?!"

Jiang Yi gasped inwardly, looking incredulously at Tang Wuling's surging crimson aura.

In just a moment, the blood-red light, like a ferocious beast that had been fully activated, spread wildly, occupying half of its body and standing shoulder to shoulder with the dazzling golden light.

The golden light still enveloped most of Tang Wuling's body, but the blood-red light was not much weaker, and the two were locked in a stalemate.

The power capable of directly confronting the Golden Dragon King's bloodline is undoubtedly of the same level, or at least at the level of a God King.

Jiang Yi didn't even need to guess which god-king this blood-red light, filled with pure killing intent, belonged to; just look up the Asura Sword Sheath.

Six hundred and sixty-six!
Jiang Yi was amazed; this rabbit was incredibly tough.

He had previously remarked that the rabbit had absorbed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline quite completely, but unexpectedly, the rabbit directly confronted the Golden Dragon King head-on.

At the same time, under the fierce resistance of the blood-red light, Tang Wu's dragon-like body was forced to revert to part of its rabbit form.

Thus, a strange and contradictory scene unfolded in the girl.

Half blood-red, half gold.

The half of the girl's body, enveloped in golden light, remained in her dragon form. A single golden dragon horn stood proudly erect, and golden dragon scales covered half her body, exuding a beast-like ferocity and wildness.

On the other side, shrouded in a crimson halo, a crimson rabbit ear peeked out from the hair, the skin returned to its snow-white color, a murderous intent flowed, yet it exuded a godlike sense of holiness.

Slaughter and violence coexist, holiness and wildness are intertwined.

Two completely different qualities converge in her, creating a breathtaking balance.

Just as Jiang Yi was marveling at the sight, the blood-red light and golden light on Tang Wuling's body suddenly receded at the same time, and she returned to her original appearance as a young girl.

"Ok?"

Jiang Yi rushed forward and caught Tang Wuling as she fell from the sky.

The girl remained unconscious, her eyes closed, but her face was much more peaceful, as if she had fallen into a dream.

Sensing Jiang Yi's presence, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and unconsciously snuggled closer to him.

"It's okay."

Jiang Yi checked her breathing and breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the specific changes in the martial soul, we will have to wait until Xiao Wuling wakes up to find out.

He adjusted his posture, picked the girl up in his arms, and with a flash of silver light, the two appeared in the next bedroom.

Jiang Yi gently placed Tang Wuling on the bed, dried off the remaining water stains on her body, and then took out a set of pajamas from his soul tool and put them on her.

"have a good rest!"

Jiang Yi sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroked Tang Wuling's cheek, and said softly.

After tucking her in, Jiang Yi got up and left the room.

However, shortly after he left, a pair of bright, gleaming eyes opened stealthily, as if they were thieves.

"Hmm~"

Tang Wuling sat up, lowered her head and smelled the loose pajamas she was wearing. A familiar and reassuring scent lingered around her nose.

Her little face instantly turned rosy, like a little rabbit that had secretly drunk some mead.

"My brother's taste!"

She murmured softly, her voice tinged with infatuation.

Then, she threw herself onto the soft bedding, covered her head with a pillow, and rolled around on the bed.

"Brother, I like you so much!!!"

Suppressed cheers emanated from under the pillow, carrying the girl's joy and shyness.

She rolled around on the bed several times before finally stopping, curling up in a ball with her pillow, a silly smile on her lips, and gradually drifting off to sleep.

……

After leaving Tang Wuling's room, Jiang Yi did not return to his own room, but went straight to Mu Ye's studio.

"Clang! Clang clang clang!"

A rhythmic metallic knocking sound came from inside the door. Below the mecha, Makino was half-squatting on the ground, intently adjusting the mecha.

"What brings you here? Are you perhaps interested in mecha?"

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Makino remained focused on his work and spoke without looking up.

"I'm somewhat interested, but I don't have the talent..."

Jiang Yi walked to the side and looked up at the beast-shaped mech in front of him. Its wild appearance revealed the beauty of mechanical creation.

As someone who transmigrated from a technological world, it would be a lie to say he has no interest in mechas.

However, the potential of mechs is far less than that of battle armor masters. Even ten thousand years from now, mechs will only be an auxiliary tool.

It's fine to treat it as a hobby in your spare time, but to expect him to devote all his energy to mecha like Makino would be putting the cart before the horse.

However, with the development of the times and the advancement of soul-guided technology, we still need people like Makino who are obsessed with getting to the bottom of things.

"Speak, what do you want? I don't believe you're here to have a heart-to-heart talk with this old man..." Mu Ye finally stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and looked up at Jiang Yi.

Instead of spending the middle of the night with her young and beautiful sister, she came to the studio to find this old geezer. She probably has something to ask him.

"Hehe! Uncle Ye is still the best!"

Jiang Yi smiled and offered a fitting compliment, then straightened his expression and bowed to Mu Ye.

"This young man wants to represent the Tang Sect and negotiate a cooperation with the Body Sect. I wonder if you, Uncle Ye, are interested?"

"cooperate?"

Makino raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Yi strangely.

Even he had to admit that the gap between the Body Sect and the Tang Sect was simply too great.

Given the current size of their Body Sect, it's probably not even comparable to a large branch of the Tang Sect. What makes them worth cooperating with the Tang Sect?
"Exactly."

Jiang Yi nodded and explained softly.

"I want to persuade my teacher to establish a technology research institute within the Tang Sect that specializes in the integration of Qi and blood with mecha."

"Blood and Qi, and mechs?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye frowned slightly. After a moment's thought, he understood Jiang Yi's intention.

"no!"

He refused without even thinking, rolling his eyes in annoyance.

"So you're planning to use my Body Sect disciples as guinea pigs, huh?"

"Ahem, Uncle Ye, you've misunderstood. All we need to do is provide blood and qi data; it's not a biological modification experiment."

Jiang Yi coughed lightly and quickly explained to Mu Ye.

The limits of mechs in this era have basically been reached, and each mech pilot is exploring their own path forward.

But as a time traveler, Jiang Yi knew very well that the future of mechs lay in going into space, and that was something that would be difficult to achieve by an individual alone.

Of course, more importantly, he wanted to use this to bring the Body Sect to his side and make it his foundation within the Tang Sect.

He was confident that Zang Xin would most likely agree to his proposal. Unlike Shrek Academy, Tang Sect relied on technical skills; previously it was about hidden weapons, and now it was about soul guidance technology.

Mu Ye, this god-level mecha pilot, is definitely worth the Tang Sect spending some resources to win over. After all, the Tang Sect may lack many things, but it will never lack money.

“We have been researching in this area for a long time, but progress has been slow due to insufficient experimental data.”

Jiang Yi continued, reciting his prepared remarks one by one.

"Looking at the entire Soul Master world, only the Body Sect has reached the pinnacle in the cultivation of Qi and Blood."

"We are willing to provide the disciples of the Body Sect with ample cultivation resources, as long as they cooperate with us regularly to collect Qi and blood data."

"This is mutually beneficial for both sides—during the research process, the Body Sect can also use this data to further improve the Qi and Blood Secret Method."

The Tang Clan is also ahead of the Federation in biotechnology; a certain crazy big-butt woman works in this field within the Tang Clan.

This is also the main theme of future soul-guided technology. For example, the starship that enabled Di Tian to realize his dream was based on this research.

The Body Sect's cultivation revolves around Qi and blood, which, for the Tang Sect, means a series of moving, natural experimental data.

No dissection is needed. The data collected by Tang Sect's technical personnel through long-term tracking will be enough for them to use for an unknown period of time.

"This……"

Makino hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat uncertain.

This sounded like the Body Sect was guaranteed to make a profit, but for some reason it gave him a strange feeling that he was selling himself.

This made him instinctively resistant; it wouldn't sound good if a grown man didn't earn his own living and instead relied on this to obtain resources.

"Uncle Ye, this rare and precious chrysanthemum is a gift from the Tang Clan to you as a token of our sincerity."

Seeing Mu Ye's hesitation, Jiang Yi waved his hand, and more than ten jade boxes appeared out of thin air, hovering in mid-air.

With a thought, the lid of one of the jade boxes opened automatically.

In an instant, a delicate medicinal fragrance filled the air. Inside the jade box lay a golden chrysanthemum, its entire body shimmering with a faint golden halo.

In the realm of ice and fire, although there are only a few ferocious plant beasts, the number of immortal herbs from other years is countless.

"A miraculous, everlasting chrysanthemum!!!"

Mu Ye's eyes widened. Just smelling the medicinal fragrance made his blood and qi flow more smoothly.

This is the legendary magic herb!

Immortal herbs are not unique to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes; the continent is so vast that there is still a chance to encounter a few.

However, high-grade immortal herbs are absolutely exclusive to the Tang Sect.

"Cough cough!"

Mu Ye's gaze involuntarily drifted to the other jade boxes beside him, and he covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

Although it sounds shameful to make sect disciples "sell their bodies," then again...

For the sake of the sect's revival, what's wrong with the disciples suffering a little... It's all negotiable!
