Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 95 Perilous Eighteen Trials, A Shortage of Talent

Ye Ying keenly observed that the burly man blocking his way had a significantly more stable and heavier right leg than his left, which must be his martial spirit.

This was also the first time Ye Ying had ever seen a Soul Master with a True Body Martial Soul, except for those below the Title Douluo level.

Unlike Poison Immortal and Elder Jin, who possessed profound cultivation and concealed their martial spirit characteristics.

The person in front of me has very obvious martial spirit characteristics, especially that explosive and powerful aura. He is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Ye Ying's fourth uncle, Ye Qiuyun, had calm and composed eyes and gave a slight bow. "Brother, please inform them that the Ye family from the Longyue Mountains requests an audience."

Although the big man was exceptionally powerful, he was not unreasonable. Since he had come to request an audience, whether or not he should be received was not a decision that a mere Soul Douluo could make.

Before long, a young man with unusually long legs ran out of the village. His soul power was around level 58, making him an outstanding figure among the younger generation.

"Uncle Zuo, Elder Jin asked me to tell you that if anyone claiming to be from the Ye family of the Longyue Mountains comes, please take them up the mountain."

Hearing the young man's words, the burly man named A-Zuo was extremely embarrassed.

The young man was quick-witted, and when he saw Ye Ying and the others being blocked outside the village by A Zuo, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Lei Ling greets everyone. I am truly sorry. Uncle Zuo is rather rigid, so please forgive him if he offends anyone."

Despite his young age, Lei Ling is quite mature and composed, and is a disciple highly valued by Elder Jin.

Ye Qiuyun slowly shook her head and said softly, "It's alright. We are outsiders, so it's only right that we be a little cautious."

"Thank you for your understanding. In that case, I will lead you all up the mountain. Uncle Zuo will take good care of the horses and such."

A-Zuo scratched his head sheepishly and quickly said, "Yes, yes, you can go now. I'll take good care of you."

Led by Lei Ling, the group of seven quickly passed through the village.

It was only because Lei Ling was quite talkative that Ye Ying learned that the villages at the foot of the mountain were for outsiders.

The location of the Body Sect is indeed too remote. If Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan hadn't been protected by their four uncles, they might have been snatched away by some ten-thousand-year-old soul beast on the way.

Soon, the group arrived at the foot of a cliff. Lei Ling patiently explained to Ye Ying and the others, "Our sect's terrain is treacherous. This cliff is about twenty-four zhang high. Without a certain level of cultivation or a flying soul tool, we can only have someone carry us up."

After saying that, Lei Ling smiled slightly, and with a sudden burst of strength from his legs, countless tiny cracks appeared on the rocks on the ground.

The four brothers, Wind, Cloud, Rain, and Thunder, exchanged a glance, ignored Ye Ying, and jumped up.

Ye Ying's lips twitched; he knew his four uncles would enjoy the show and watch him rave.

Zhang Lexuan, who was holding Ye Ying tightly, had already opened the wings of the flying soul tool, hugged Ye Ying's waist, and soon slowly flew up.

Without exception, all four of his uncles wore smug, irritating smiles.

"Alright everyone, we've passed the first challenge. There are still seventeen more to go. Follow me."

Lei Ling casually remarked something and then walked straight ahead to lead the way for everyone.

The Eighteen Heavenly Passes is a nickname given by the Body Sect to the eighteen cliffs and precipices one must pass through to ascend the mountain.

There were eighteen cliffs in total. Except for the first one, which was only twenty-four zhang tall, the next one was over fifty zhang tall.

As a result, the mountains outside the main body sect's own territory reached a height of over four thousand meters.

After about an hour, Ye Ying and his group finally stepped onto the last cliff face.

Even Zhang Lexuan, a Soul Master, was somewhat tired, and her beautiful face, flushed slightly, looked incredibly alluring.

If Zhang Lexuan hadn't been so perceptive of any mischievous thoughts Ye Ying might have had, Ye Ying probably would have already given her a kiss.

Enveloped in mist and clouds not far away, it appeared to be another massive mountain.

However, the crack runs through the entire mountain, forming a canyon and creating a rare natural landscape of a single line between heaven and earth.

Outside the narrow canyon, Mr. Jin, with his white hair and gentle face, had been waiting for a long time.

"It's been a long time! How have you been, Young Master Ye?"

"Mr. Jin, what you say makes me feel quite uneasy. I am just a junior, and your words have made me feel very uneasy."

Even though he had taken Poison Immortal as his master, Ye Ying still dared not be arrogant in front of Elder Jin.

Strength is one aspect, but you have to know that Old Jin is much older than Ye Ying's grandfather Ye Zhenting, and is of the same generation as Ye Ying's great-grandfather Ye Luotian. If he agrees, he will really be ridiculed.

Elder Jin chuckled, "Let's go. The sect leader is busy. I'll take you inside."

Led by Elder Jin, Ye Ying and the others slowly walked into the narrow passage.

They were only a hundred meters away when they encountered a group of guarding disciples, all of whom were Soul Saints or Soul Douluos.

When they met Mr. Jin, everyone showed him great respect.

A tall gate slowly opened, and the group of people passed through the gate and entered.

It was unbelievable, especially for Ye Ying, who suddenly recalled an ancient article from her student days in her previous life.

At first it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, but after walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area!

Aside from the members of the Body Sect, who could have known that such a secluded paradise existed in this desolate land near the far north?

"Haha, how about that, are you a little surprised!"

When Elder Jin saw the astonishment in the eyes of the Ye family members, he felt incredibly smug.

Among the three major forces, Mingde Hall and Shrek Academy are the ones that have been active in the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Three Kingdoms for many years.

Only the Body Sect is like a silent but astonishing force, often doing things that are hard to understand.

This is precisely why the Body Sect is the most secretive of the three top forces in the Douluo Continent. Even Shrek Academy only knows the sect's address.

Under Elder Jin's guidance, Ye Ying paid a visit to each of the ten elders of the Body Sect.

The situation of the ten elders was similar to that of Elder Jin. Except for two younger ones, they were all old people from the Ye Luotian era. When they heard that Ye Ying was a descendant of Ye Luotian, their attitudes were extremely good. The only pity was that Ye Ying did not have a physical martial soul.

As for the matter of Du Busi taking on disciples, no elder had any objection; on the contrary, they were happy to see it happen.

After being led around by Elder Jin, Ye Ying finally understood just how serious the problem of a lack of successors in the Body Sect was.

The vast Body Sect didn't have a single Title Douluo under eighty years old; the youngest was at least five or six years older than Ye Zhenting.

No wonder, Du Busi was willing to lead a group to attack Shrek Academy in order to snatch Huo Yuhao. It's not just that there are no inheritors with powerful original martial souls, but even the elite members are almost at the point of having no successors.

"Good lad, you've finally arrived after all this time!"

With her dark green hair and familiar voice, she had finally come to her senses after remaining secluded in the sect leader's hall, refusing to die from poison.
