Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 136 The Awakening Method is a closely guarded secret of my Xuanming Sect, the very foundation of our sect! (Please subscribe!!!)

"Who goes there?"

Su Yu and Huo Yuhao went straight into the Xuanming Sect, where they were stopped by a steward who questioned their identities.

"We have come to see your sect leader to discuss important matters."

The steward was about to get angry, thinking that just anyone could come and amuse their sect leader?

Su Yu revealed a trace of his soul power.

He controlled his soul power at roughly the level of a Soul King.

The deacon is nothing more than a Soul King.

Nevertheless, the butler put aside his contempt.

Because Su Yu was much younger than him, one was a Soul King who was nearly forty years old, and the other was a Soul King who was only a teenager. They were not comparable.

Su Yu's level of skill is something that only the young sect leader and some core disciples in the Xuanming Sect could hope to achieve.

Regardless of which faction trained him, the fact that he was sent here directly indicates that this so-called consultation is quite significant.

At the same time, Su Yu also has the right to meet the sect leader of the Xuanming Sect.

The steward restrained his disrespectful attitude and led Su Yu and Huo Yuhao to the sect master's main hall.

"The two men claimed they had something to discuss and wanted to meet with the sect leader."

The steward used his soul power to form a thread and reported that Su Yu was a Soul King.

The person responsible for guarding the main hall scrutinized Su Yu and his companion after hearing what the steward said.

"I think it's best to discuss some matters concerning our status with your sect leader first," Su Yu said.

"Let him in."

A majestic voice echoed from inside the hall.

"Go in."

Su Yu led Huo Yuhao into the main hall, and the doors closed.

"Your Excellency possesses remarkable talent."

In the main hall, a dignified middle-aged man sat at the head of the table, put down the book in his hand, looked at Su Yu, and spoke.

His soul power aura was at level 80+, making him a Soul Douluo.

This was Su Yu's first impression.

"At such a young age, he has actually cultivated to the level of Soul Saint."

Xu Yang was deeply shaken.

This young Soul Saint possesses incredibly solid Soul Power, far surpassing that of ordinary Soul Saints and no less impressive than Soul Douluo.

This was how he felt before.

In fact, Su Yu's soul power contained an aura even stronger than Xu Yang's own.

That was Su Yu's soul core.

With the condensation of the soul core, Su Yu's previously liquid soul power was condensed and compressed into a solid state, making it comparable in quality to that of a Title Douluo.

As soon as Su Yu and his companion appeared outside the main hall, Xu Yang sensed their presence. Su Yu also seemed intent on revealing his own strength, and thus he was allowed to enter.

As for being attacked and killed, Xu Yang was not worried.

As the sect leader of the Xuanming Sect and Xu Sanshi's father, his martial soul was also a successfully awakened Xuanwu, reaching level 88. His defensive power was no less than that of a titled Douluo, and several of his soul skills had many wonderful uses. A Soul Saint was not enough to sneak attack and kill him.

"Sect Leader Xu, you flatter me." Su Yu graciously accepted Xu Yang's praise.

A sixteen-year-old Soul Saint, he truly deserves the title.

Xu Yang looked at Huo Yuhao next to Su Yu. Although Huo Yuhao was far inferior to Su Yu in terms of soul power, he was younger than Su Yu and had reached the mid-level Soul Master, on par with his missing genius son.

Moreover, his soul power was also extremely condensed, showing no signs of drug use.

What brings these two geniuses to the Xuanming Sect?

Xu Yang had a premonition that this was a major event concerning the entire Xuanming Sect.

"Before introducing our origins and purpose, I hope Sect Leader Xu won't mind if I make some arrangements."

A fist-sized metal sphere appeared in Su Yu's hand. He poured his soul power into it, and a barrier immediately opened, enveloping the entire hall.

"This is an isolation barrier."

Xu Yang stared at Su Yu, wanting to see what Su Yu was up to.

Your origins are already unclear, so letting you in is already a big favor.

And yet you, without any attempt to create a barrier in my main hall, actually bypassed it.

"My name is Su Yu from Mingde Hall."

Huo Yuhao of Mingdetang.

Su Yu and Huo Yuhao then introduced themselves and their backgrounds.

Xu Yang was shocked and furious. He stood up abruptly from his seat, his soul power surging, and he pondered what to do next.

Mingde Hall!

Su Yu!

Both of these names carry significant weight with him.

Because Xu Sanshi was going to participate in the previous Soul Battle Tournament, the Xuanming Sect sent people to Xingluo City to watch.

Su Yu's name naturally circulated within the Xuanming Sect.

Unfortunately, the Xuanming Sect members did not see Xu Sanshi during that match. After questioning Shrek Academy, Shrek Academy finally gave in to the Xuanming Sect's persistent questioning and revealed the accident that happened.

The Xuanming Sect put in a lot of effort to find Xu Sanshi, but to no avail.

This made Xu Yang, who was both the sect leader and Xu Sanshi's father, quite dissatisfied with Shrek Academy.

But there was nothing that could be done.

Xu Sanshi, the messenger of death.

These are the targets of their Xuanming Sect's massive manhunt.

However, three years have passed and there is still no clue.

"Su Yu, instead of staying in the Sun Moon Empire, you dare to venture deep into the Douluo Three Kingdoms, come to my Douling Empire, and even run to my Xuanming Sect. Do you think my Xuanming Sect can't do anything to you?" Xu Yang, the Soul Douluo, released his full aura and said coldly.

"Sect Master Xu is joking. Since I have come to Xuanming Sect, I naturally have a purpose. If I am not mistaken, your sect's young sect master, Xu Sanshi, a student of Shrek Academy, should have been captured by an evil soul master who called himself the Messenger of Death before the Soul Battle Tournament, right?" Su Yu was not afraid of Xu Yang's soul power pressure at all and spoke eloquently.

Xu Yang was deeply shaken.

"As expected, your Mingde Hall is indeed colluding with evil spirit masters." He gritted his teeth.

Su Yu shook his head and said, "Sect Leader Xu, please don't slander my Mingde Hall. On the way to the competition, my teacher happened to encounter that Death Messenger. After dealing with him, he brought your son back and that's how he learned about the accident at Shrek Academy."

"Since you saved Sanshi, why don't you release him?"

"Is Sect Leader Xu joking? He was captured by an evil soul master for a period of time. Do you think we would dare to release this soul master who may have been corrupted by an evil soul master to endanger the continent?" Su Yu sneered.

Xu Yang's face was grim.

Su Yu's words, though seemingly sarcastic, were also an attempt to establish a bargaining chip.

That is, we not only have Xu Sanshi in our hands, but also the reputation of your Xuanming Sect.

The young sect leader was captured by an evil spirit master, and his martial spirit was corrupted, so he could become an evil spirit master at any time.

Furthermore, if what we discussed today doesn't satisfy Su Yu, then it won't just be a "possibility," and Xu Sanshi might actually become an evil soul master.

Xu Yang took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"What is Mingdetang trying to do?"

"Sect Leader Xu is too kind. Our Mingde Hall doesn't want anything in particular; we simply wish to explore some cooperation. I've come with Yuhao, the disciple of the Mingde Hall Master. Isn't that enough to show our sincerity?"

Xu Yang looked Huo Yuhao over carefully and said through gritted teeth, "They really are very sincere."

He frowned, pondering the possibility of using the two men to threaten Mingdetang into releasing the people.

One is Kong Deming's disciple, the strongest genius in the Sun Moon Empire; the other is Jing Hongchen's disciple, whose talent is also exceptional.

With two people as leverage, there might be a chance. However, the Xuanming Sect doesn't have that kind of scale.

Although it can be said to be the most powerful in the Douling Empire, the Xuanming Sect can only be considered a first-rate force on the entire continent, but it is not a super force.

Compared to the Mingde Hall of the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, the difference is enormous.

"Sect Leader Xu, please don't have any bad thoughts." Su Yu smiled, releasing his full soul power to stand shoulder to shoulder with Xu Yang.

Even without the amplification of his battle armor, his Soul Saint-level Soul Power was in no way weaker than Xu Yang's. It was stronger in quality but slightly weaker in quantity.

With the amplification of advanced battle armor, he could easily crush Xu Yang. The existence of his soul core would further bridge the gap between him and a Title Douluo, making it no problem for him to suppress an ordinary Title Douluo with his foundation.

Xu Yang was deeply shaken at that moment.

What a terrifying sense of oppression! It's almost as powerful as my own slightly overpowered level 88 Soul Douluo!

A hint of apprehension flickered in Xu Yang's eyes.

With such strength, Su Yu certainly had reason to be confident. Even if this were the main headquarters of the Xuanming Sect, with a true Title Douluo-level Supreme Elder in charge, Xu Yang wouldn't dare guarantee that he could keep Su Yu here.

After all, Mingde Hall's soul tools are renowned for their superior quality.

Su Yu's mere pressure of soul power was enough to create such power. Based on his performance in the Soul Battle Tournament, he must have a fully matched combat strength and an exceptionally strong control over his soul tools.

Xu Yang suspected that Su Yu was carrying a soul-guided cannon, a level nine soul-guided cannon, and possibly even fixed soul-guided cannon shells.

Moreover, they are all available for Su Yu to use at any time.

"What exactly does Mingdetang want?" Xu Yang asked in a deep voice. "Sanshi is just a child. Whatever conditions Mingdetang can meet, we will try our best to satisfy them."

Su Yu shook his head and said, "Has Sect Leader Xu still not grasped the situation?"

"The unification of the sun and moon is an inevitable trend. Does the Xuanming Sect not understand this?"

Xu Yang sneered and remained silent, but a sense of sorrow lingered in his heart.

I understand it all, but all I can do is keep going.

"Sect Leader Xu, the Sun Moon Empire unified the continent, not to destroy all the people of the Three Kingdoms."

Unification is for the sake of development. Apart from the battlefield, the Sun Moon Empire will not oppress or massacre the people in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms cities.

As for the original Douluo Three Kingdoms forces, apart from those who oppose the Sun Moon Empire, we won't do anything to you.

For a sect, succession is the key; I think Sect Leader Xu should understand that.

They talk about fighting for the empire, but it's really just about self-interest.

"Furthermore, I think Sect Leader Xu knows whether Xu Sanshi can return and when he will return."

"Besides, Mingde Hall wouldn't ask your Xuanming Sect to do anything that would betray the Three Kingdoms. After all, it's reasonable for you to go into seclusion for twenty or thirty years after losing your young sect leader."

Su Yu's words repeatedly broke down Xu Yang's psychological defenses.

Especially at the end, Su Yu had essentially already outlined Mingdetang's expectations.

We don't ask you to help us from within or without, but from this day forward, the Xuanming Sect must go into seclusion and is forbidden from participating in any future wars.

As the largest sect in the Douling Empire, the Xuanming Sect has gone into seclusion, which will greatly reduce the resistance from the Tianling Empire in the future.

Moreover, this is a rather unstable country.

If Su Yu remembered correctly, the Douling Empire itself was not very stable in terms of power, with many conflicts among the royal family members, and the major princes could seize power at any time.

In particular, the Xuanming Sect no longer cares about anything within the Douling Empire.

Xu Yang understood all of this, but if he had to say, it was actually the wisest choice.

This is the best direction for the future of the sect.

And all the justifications are reasonable.

Given the unexpected incident involving the young sect leader, it's perfectly understandable that the Xuanming Sect needs to go into seclusion for a period of time to cultivate a new successor.

"Of course, we both have an additional purpose for coming here this time."

"Speak!" Xu Yang was frowning and pondering the possibility of retiring from the sect when he heard Su Yu say that he had other requirements, and he wanted to hear what they were.

"The method for your sect to awaken the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul into the Xuanwu Martial Soul."

"What did you say?!"

Xu Yang snapped out of his thoughts about retiring to seclusion and looked at Su Yu with an incredulous expression.

"Don't you know that this is a closely guarded secret of our sect, the very foundation upon which our sect is founded?"

Su Yu smiled.

I understand, it costs more.

"It seems that there are no native level nine soul masters in the Douluo Three Kingdoms yet. I wonder if this technology could be used to obtain this awakening method?"

The level nine Soul Masters have blocked many Soul Master geniuses in Douluo Three Kingdoms, preventing them from progressing to level eight.

However, this technology is firmly in the hands of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Su Yu didn't value it too much.

After all, Master Kong Deming has already begun to master level 10 soul tools, so revealing only a superficial aspect of level 9 technology to the Xuanming Sect is not a big deal.

Xu Tianran has already revealed the technology of level nine soul tools to the Holy Spirit Cult, so what else does Su Yu have to worry about?

Given that the Xuanming Sect traded away this level-nine soul guidance technology, it's unlikely they would easily spread it further.

To be even bolder, even if the Xuanming Sect were to publicly reveal its level-nine soul guidance technology, given the development level and speed of soul guidance devices in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, it would still be completely insufficient to pose a threat to the Sun Moon Empire.

If Shrek Academy were to acquire a large amount of technology from Mingde Hall and then obtain this level-nine soul guidance technology, they might still achieve something before the war breaks out. After all, there is no shortage of geniuses, and even without Xuan Ziwen, someone else could emerge.

However, Shrek did not manage to obtain the technology from Mingdetang.

The technology of simply making level nine soul tools can raise the upper limit of soul masters to level nine, but it cannot support them to innovate or explore new avenues in this area.

Because their foundation is incomplete.

To put it even more dramatically, even if a peerless genius emerged in Douluo Continent and greatly improved the theory of level nine soul tools, he still wouldn't be able to catch up with the current Mingde Hall.

How about learning about fusion-based soul guidance technology?

Also, you probably haven't heard of the Battle Armor system, have you?

For the Xuanming Sect, this level nine soul guidance technology has a completely different value.

If the Xuanming Sect can accept Su Yu's earlier suggestion to remain secluded, then they won't need to consider comparing themselves to the Sun Moon Empire. Cultivating their own level nine soul masters will be a sure win.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to live in seclusion, the sect can cultivate its own soul masters. When they re-emerge, the Xuanming Sect will suffer no losses and will even develop further.

When the Sun and Moon are unified, technology will no longer be blocked. With level nine Soul Masters, we can then connect with the technology of the Sun and Moon.

Of course, all of this is contingent on the Xuanming Sect accepting the proposal to go into seclusion.
