The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Undeniably, Yu Tianhuang, with his cultivation level in the Soul Cultivation Sect, brought them immense pressure.

Each of them is at least a Soul King or a Level 5 Soul Master, but in a one-on-one confrontation with Yu Tianhuang, how many of them would dare to say they are absolutely certain of victory?

Xiao Hongchen frowned, his face unusually sour, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful glint.

Ma Rulong, captain of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's regular team, sighed, "Although I'm reluctant to admit it, this young man named Yu Tianhuang is so talented that I'm even jealous of him. What our Sun Moon Empire lacks is precisely such a genius with top-notch talent."

"Captain, do you mean my talent is inferior to his?" Xiao Hongchen raised an eyebrow.

Ma Rulong said calmly, "What do you think? You can tell from the immaturity in his eyes that he's at most around thirteen years old. And since he comes from Shrek Academy, it means that his cultivation is basically based on his own efforts, accumulating bit by bit, and his foundation is incredibly profound. You did break through to the Soul Master level when you were thirteen, but how many cultivation aids did you take during that time, and how much effort did you spend to solidify your foundation afterward?"

Ma Rulong's earlier exclamation was heartfelt, and on the other hand, it was also a way of giving Xiao Hongchen a warning.

Xiao Hongchen's brows furrowed even more.

"So what? Having a deep foundation doesn't mean being strong. I cultivate both Soul Master and Soul Instructor, so even if he's the same age as me, he might not be stronger than me."

Ma Rulong glanced at Xiao Hongchen, then looked away, no longer arguing with him.

Although Xiao Hongchen remained defiant, he noticed the seriousness in her eyes.

He knew he had achieved his goal.

In the past, when Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong argued, Meng Hongchen would definitely have spoken up to defend her twin brother.

However, her gaze was fixed on Xu Zihuang, and she didn't notice their conversation at all.

Xu Zihuang calmly returned to Shrek Academy's rest area from the competition stage.

Everyone stared at Xu Zihuang, but none of them showed any obvious change in expression because of Wang Yan's previous instructions.

At this moment, Wang Yan had already stood up and patted Xu Zi on the shoulder.

"Well done, let's go back."

Aside from Xu Zihuang, the others weren't particularly bad at concealing their emotions, but they weren't exceptionally good either. However, due to Shrek Academy's renowned reputation and the lingering effect of Xu Zihuang's earlier crushing of three students from Silvers Academy, no one noticed anything amiss.

The Shrek Academy team once again left Star Plaza under everyone's watchful eyes, maintaining a high degree of mystery.

Once outside Xingluo Square, Wang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the others also relaxed.

Wang Yan stopped and turned to face the crowd, speaking with a gratified and serious expression.

"To be honest, the other teams in our Shrek Academy team are very strong, but on the surface, there's only one team whose overall strength is above ours. Even if Xiao Tao and the others don't return for the round-robin stage, the pressure we face to advance isn't actually that great. There's no need for everyone to be too nervous."

Of course, his judgment was based on Yu Tianhuang's powerful personal strength.

With Yu Tianhuang, Bei Bei who can control the awakening of the Holy Light Dragon bloodline, and Xu Sanshi who can use the awakening of the Xuanwu bloodline, they can be used as three Soul Kings.

It can be said that Xu Zihuang's performance in the first round of elimination matches and this round-robin tournament has given him ample confidence.

"However, this deterrent effect can still be maintained for a while. It might play an unexpected role in the matches we face next," Wang Yan said with a slight smile.

"Alright, everyone go back and rest. I'll go back to Xingluo Square and observe our opponents in the same group."

Watching Wang Yan's departing figure, Xu Sanshi asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the opponents we face in the round-robin tournament are very strong, and Coach Wang said that to deliberately reassure us?"

"If Teacher Wang had this idea, why bother with all this trouble? You idiot." Bei Bei couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Do you think every student at every advanced Soul Master or Soul Master Academy on the mainland can compare to us?"

“That makes sense.” Xu Sanshi nodded smugly, but then he seemed to realize something and glared at Bei Bei.

"Who are you calling an idiot?!"

Xu Zihuang watched the two bickering with a gentle smile. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked up towards the roof of the Star Emperor Hotel.

With the amazing eyesight granted by his golden eyes, two strangely shaped middle-aged men appeared in his line of sight.

The two middle-aged men had ordinary appearances, but their physiques were quite peculiar. One had an unusually large right arm, while the other was thin with an extremely large head, resembling a bobblehead.

"Noumenon Sect?!"

Chapter 169 The Body Disciple and Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu

Seemingly sensing Xu Zihuang's gaze, a hint of surprise flashed in the big-headed man's gentle eyes, and then he nodded kindly to Xu Zihuang.

The man with the thick arms also exclaimed in surprise.

"The distance from the edge of Xingluo Square to the roof of this Xinghuang Hotel must be at least several thousand meters. With such keen perception, this kid's mental strength should be no weaker than that of a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level."

Although this person was trying his best to suppress his speech, he still exuded a terrifying and intimidating aura.

"Lang Ya, it seems this kid is basically the type who awakened innately. If he hadn't already completed the second awakening of his main martial soul, even if his martial soul is of the spiritual attribute, his spiritual power wouldn't be this strong. Moreover, this kid's martial soul is eyes, so it's at least a silver-level second awakening of his main martial soul. We must bring such a talent back to the sect."

The big-headed man known as Langya frowned, and an invisible wave spread out from his big head, making the surrounding space seem to distort.

"Don't be impulsive, Yu Tao. He is, after all, from Shrek Academy. But in any case, let's go see this little guy first."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two figures mysteriously disappeared from the rooftop of the Star Emperor Hotel.

While Lang Ya and Yu Tao were talking, Xu Zihuang, who had turned his gaze away, also followed the group toward the Xinghuang Hotel.

The area outside Xingluo Square is located in the very center of Xingluo City, and should have been the most prosperous and bustling area. However, in order not to disturb the rest of the students participating in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, the Xingluo Empire ordered the army to impose martial law on this area.

Especially the area from Xingluo Square to Xinghuang Hotel. No one except participating students and their accompanying teachers is allowed to enter.

The fact that Langya and Yutao were able to bypass these soldiers and reach the rooftop of the Xinghuang Hotel to watch the battle is enough to prove that the two are extraordinary.

As they entered the spacious and luxurious lobby of the Star Emperor Hotel, two strangely shaped middle-aged men blocked their way. These were Lang Ya and Yu Tao, the two men who had just disappeared from the rooftop of the Star Emperor Hotel.

Xu Sanshi, who was walking at the front, paused for a moment, looked up at the other person, and felt a chill run down his spine.

With his current cultivation level, he certainly couldn't see through Langya and Yutao, but that didn't stop him from feeling a strong sense of pressure from them.

He had felt this way before when facing the sect elder, and that elder of their Xuanming Sect was a genuine Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.

The pressure from the two people before him was even greater than that from their Xuanming Sect elder. How could he not be alarmed?

On the contrary, Xuan Lao, a super strong person at the peak of the Soul Master realm, has already shown a sense of returning to simplicity and nature, and usually gives people the feeling of an ordinary old man.

The others naturally noticed Langya and Yutao, who were blocking their way.

He Caitou, Jiang Nannan, and Wang Dong all looked puzzled, while Bei Bei and Ning Tian's gazes fell on Lang Ya's large head and Yu Tao's exceptionally thick right arm.

Because of their unusual backgrounds, they vaguely guessed the identity of the newcomer.

Bei Bei, the captain of the reserve team, stepped forward and approached Xu Sanshi, saying in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, is there something you need?"

Yu Tao raised his thick arm and pointed to Xu Zihuang, who was standing in the middle of the crowd.

"You can go first, but this little guy can stay. My brother and I have something we want to talk to him about."

Just as Bei Bei was about to say something, Xu Zihuang took a few steps forward, passing by Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.

"Senior Brother Bei, Senior Brother Xu, you should go back first. I also want to have a chat with these two seniors."

As he spoke, Xu Zihuang nodded to Lang Ya and Yu Tao, and then walked to the lounge area on the first floor of the Xinghuang Hotel.

Because all the participating teams staying at the Xinghuang Hotel are currently competing in the elimination rounds at Xingluo Square, or watching the matches live, there are only the seven members of their reserve team and Langya and Yutao in the entire hall.

The spacious hall appeared unusually empty.

Beibei's eyes flickered for a moment, then she put on that gentle and refined smile again.

"Alright, Tianhuang. We'll head back now."

Xu Sanshi gave Bei Bei an inquiring look, but Bei Bei just shook her head and pulled him upstairs.

Others, unaware of what was going on, followed behind the two.

As they walked up the stairs, Beibei explained, "If I'm not mistaken, those two were probably members of the Body Sect. They approached Tianhuang simply because they admired his talent; they wouldn't harm him. Tianhuang's willingness to speak with them clearly shows he understood this. Furthermore, the fact that they chose to stop us at the Star Emperor Hotel indicates they wouldn't resort to force in a place like this. After all, it represents the face of the Star Luo Empire's royal family. However, just to be on the safe side, let's go and inform Senior Sister Xiaotao and the others."

……

Xu Zihuang calmly sat down on the sofa in the rest area.

Lang Ya and Yu Tao also sat down opposite Xu Zihuang one after the other.

Lang Ya smiled and looked at Xu Zihuang, his gaze unusually gentle.

"Little guy, aren't you afraid we'll do something to you?"

"The two seniors wouldn't do that, because we are all the same kind of people." Xu Zihuang smiled calmly, his tone full of certainty.

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Lang Ya's gaze narrowed slightly, and the strange, invisible fluctuation from before reappeared.

Xu Zihuang's deep purple eyes instantly turned into a brilliant gold, his gaze indifferent yet clear.

"Good! Using your Martial Soul without revealing your Soul Rings, you truly deserve to be the owner of our original Martial Soul." Lang Ya praised, patting the ground lightly, and his gaze towards Xu Zihuang became even more amiable.

“You’re right, we are indeed of the same kind. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lang Ya, and this is my brother Yu Tao. We are both from the Body Sect, which I believe you have heard of.”

“Actually, we noticed you during the first elimination round two days ago. Your name is Yu Tianhuang, right? You’re from the Tianhun Empire. Yu Tao and I are also from the Tianhun Empire, so we’re compatriots.” Lang Ya looked directly into Xu Zihuang’s eyes.

"I'm absolutely certain now that your spirit is your eyes. If I'm not mistaken, the second spirit skill you used in the competition was likely the innate spirit skill of the Demonic Orca, the Demonic Orca Mirror of Annihilation. Your fourth spirit skill was probably the imprint skill you gained from hunting Silver Elite Beasts. Moreover, after combining with your spirit, both of these spirit skills underwent positive changes, becoming even more powerful. Also, your eye spirit seems to possess a special spirit instinct that allows you to more easily detect the trajectory of moving objects. Am I right?"

Lang Ya's few simple words thoroughly analyzed the abilities Xu Zihuang had used.

However, Xu Zihuang was not surprised or suspicious at all, and even readily admitted it.

"Senior, you're right."

Lang Ya understood, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. The reason my brother and I have come to you is simple: we want to bring you back to our sect. Your original spirit should have already completed its second awakening, right? The quality of your original spirit is among the top tier of all original spirits that have ever appeared in the world. Although I don't know why you were able to complete the second awakening innately, once it's completed, it's at least a silver-level second awakening. This level of second awakening is not easy to completely control. Our Original Spirit Sect is the place most familiar with original spirits. As long as you come back to our sect, I guarantee that within twenty years you will soar to great heights and shock the soul master world of the continent."

"Furthermore, I can now make a promise on behalf of our sect leader: as long as your physical condition can withstand the impact of a 100,000-year spirit ring in the future, we will devote all the power of the sect to helping you hunt 100,000-year spirit beasts. Of course, the spirit rings and spirit bones produced from hunting 100,000-year spirit beasts will belong to you. At that time, you will be one of the candidates for the next sect leader. What do you say?"

Xu Zihuang remained silent, while Lang Ya patiently watched him.

But Yu Tao, who was always a bit impatient, couldn't help but stand up and say in a muffled voice.

"Little guy, what's there to consider? Does this lousy Shrek Academy really understand Body Spirits better than our Body Sect?"

Xu Zihuang is not actually opposed to the Body Sect, but it is not in his current interest to go to the Body Sect with Lang Ya and Yu Tao now.

It's obvious that a sect has more constraints than an academy. But he was indeed envious of some of the secret techniques related to the Body Spirit within the Body Sect, which put him in a difficult position.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to keep things hanging on to both ends for now.

"Seniors, I would like to stay at Shrek Academy for the time being. After graduating from the academy, I will seriously consider joining the Body Sect."

Before Lang Ya could speak, Yu Tao raised an eyebrow and reached out with his thick, long right arm to grab Xu Zihuang.

"No, you have to come with us now."
