Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament has finally come to an end. In order to reward Long Aotian and others who fought hard on the field and won unparalleled glory for the academy, the academy's higher-ups unanimously decided to give all the participating team members a long vacation so that they can rest and recuperate.

As Long Aotian and the others left the academy, the once bustling Di'ao Academy, which had been filled with excitement due to their victory in the competition, gradually quieted down.

Long Aotian and the others returned to their respective homes and began their own vacation.

Jin Ni returned to the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest; Vina returned to the palace of the Heavenly Soul Empire; and Dugu Yuan accompanied Xiao Xiao back to the city where they both lived.

Meanwhile, Long Aotian, Ji Juechen, and Ye Guyi embarked on their journey back to the Body Sect together.

Back home, Long Aotian finally shed all his burdens and accolades. He was no longer the rising star of Douluo Continent, but just an ordinary son.

During this rare period, he spent an extremely relaxed and pleasant family time with his father, Long Yuanba, and mother, Ao Yumou. The three of them chatted about interesting things outside of cultivation. There were no more roaring battlefields where Soul Masters clashed, no more life-or-death struggles, only the warmth and peace of home. This tranquility allowed Long Aotian's state of mind to be calmed and elevated like never before.

However, the situation on Douluo Continent has never truly been peaceful. While Long Aotian was enjoying the warmth of his family, the Body Sect was also plotting a crucial event.

Early that morning, a high-level meeting of elders was being urgently convened inside the main hall of the Body Sect.

Seated in the central seats of the main hall were the two sect leaders of the Body Sect, Du Bisi and Du Busi. Below them, all twelve elders of the Body Sect were present, including Long Aotian's parents, Long Yuanba and Ao Yumou.

Long Aotian, as the young sect leader of the Body Sect, also attended the meeting.

"Gentlemen, I have gathered you all here today to discuss an important matter."

The Second Sect Master, Poison Undying, broke the silence first. His deep, powerful voice echoed throughout the hall, "According to the latest news from our sect members dispatched to the Sun Moon Empire, the suspected '100,000-year-old soul beast embryo' that appeared at the Star Luo City auction house during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is currently being secretly stored in the underground treasury of the Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall!"

Upon hearing this, a suppressed gasp erupted throughout the hall. A 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo! This was a priceless treasure, one that was incredibly rare and sought after; anyone who encountered it would be tempted.

Poisonous Death spoke up, "Regarding this '100,000-year-old soul beast embryo,' my second brother and I have decided to take it back."

"We have confirmed information that the Sun Moon Empire's wolfish ambitions are now blatantly obvious. In recent years, they have secretly colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult, a group known for its cunning and ruthless methods!"

"Although our Body Sect prides itself on not being some compassionate and righteous messengers, and has always acted as it pleases, we are inherently irreconcilable enemies with the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult. Now that such a heaven-sent opportunity is before us, if we can seize this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo first, we can weaken the enemy's foundation and greatly enhance our own strength. Why not seize this win-win situation?"

"Mingde Hall is the core and most important place of the Sun Moon Empire. Its defenses are extremely strong. Trying to sneak in and seize treasures is like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth." Elder Jin Peng frowned and expressed his concerns.

"Fortune favors the bold!" Grand Sect Master Poisonous Death sneered, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Our Body Sect has always been known for its strength; how can we be intimidated by mere soul tools? After discussing with my second brother, this operation must be swift and decisive!"

Then, Du Bisi began to deploy this insane infiltration plan: "To ensure absolute success, I will personally lead this operation. Second Elder Lang Zhi, Third Elder Dan Yangzi, Fourth Elder Xue Qingbi, Fifth Elder Yu Huaji, Sixth Elder Tian Canzi, Yuan Ba, and Yu Mou, you will all accompany me. Also, Ao Tian, ​​you will come along as well; your second martial soul, the Yin-Yang Eye, will be of great use in this operation. As for Second Brother, you, Lao Jin, and the other four elders will stay behind to guard the sect."

As Poison Must Die called out his name, all the elders responded with clasped hands.

The six elders—Second Elder Lang Zhi, Third Elder Dan Yangzi, Fourth Elder Xue Qingbi, Fifth Elder Yu Huaji, and Sixth Elder Tian Canzi—are all Super Douluo with a Soul Power level of 96, and they all possess a Silver-level Body Martial Soul that has undergone a second awakening. Their combat power is much stronger than that of an ordinary Level 96 Super Douluo.

Long Aotian's father, Long Yuanba, and mother, Ao Yumou, each had two immortal herbs to nourish them. With the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old golden tortoise and a 100,000-year-old crystal dragon turtle, their soul power level had now reached level ninety-four, making their cultivation incredibly fast.

Moreover, the two possess a Spirit Fusion Skill. The Spirit Fusion Skill used by the two level 94 Title Douluos is comparable to that of a level 97 Super Douluo, and they can even put up a fight against a level 98 Title Douluo.

One level 99 Limit Douluo, five level 96 Super Douluos, plus two Title Douluos who have mastered the Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Such a lineup is enough to sweep away any of the other three great empires besides the Sun Moon Empire.

In addition to high-end combat forces, Du Bisi also arranged an elite team specifically responsible for underground excavation and breaking through the defenses to ensure a successful breach of Mingde Hall's underground defenses.

After the meeting, the Body Sect's team quickly assembled. Led by Poison Must Die, this formidable force of experts silently departed the Body Sect, transforming into streaks of shadow as they sped towards the Sun Moon Empire.

Along the way, thanks to the detection abilities of Ao Yumou and Long Aotian's eye martial souls, the group perfectly avoided all surveillance along the route. By the time they finally arrived in Mingdu, night had already fallen.

Mingdu, like a colossal steel beast, lay silently beneath the night sky. Countless eerie blue soul-guided lights shimmered around it—the highest-level warning array.

"Aotian, it's up to you now," Du Bisi said in a low voice.

Long Aotian took a deep breath and activated his second martial soul, the Yin-Yang Eyes.

In an instant, an invisible wave spread out from his body, instantly enveloping the entire team. The first soul skill of the Yin-Yang Eye Martial Soul, "Simulation," was activated at full power. Everyone's aura, body temperature, and even soul power fluctuations were perfectly assimilated into the surrounding environment at this moment.

Long Aotian has already released the authority of his Yin-Yang Eyes Martial Soul, and the natal soul ring he sacrificed is now under the personal control of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
