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

However, just as his right arm was about to touch Xu Zihuang's shoulder, a dazzling starlight suddenly formed a silver barrier in front of Xu Zihuang.

Yu Tao quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and unconsciously looked up at the thin old man who appeared behind Xu Zihuang, dressed in the robes of a Star Luo Empire royal courtier.

An indescribable powerful aura burst forth from the gaunt old man, its astonishing power even causing the surrounding light to dim.

Langya also suddenly stood up, surprised and puzzled.

"Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo. I thought you were long dead, but I didn't expect you to have defected to the Star Luo Empire."

Huang Jinxu simply responded with a curt reply.

"This is Xingluo City."

In the past, when he was all alone, he would indeed have been extremely wary of the domineering Body Sect. But now that he has the backing of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, the situation is different. Moreover, his actions this time were carried out on the orders of Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire.

"So what if this is Xingluo City? Are you trying to teach us brothers how to do things?"

Yu Tao snorted coldly, making a move to unleash his martial spirit and fight Huang Jinxu.

Although Huang Jinxu is a Title Douluo, both of them are Soul Douluos with a Soul Power of Level 85 or above, and they also possess the ability to awaken their original Martial Souls a second time. Huang Jinxu may not be able to defeat the two brothers decisively.

But Langya calmly reached out and stopped Yutao.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Huang Jinxu's words. Their Body Sect was indeed powerful, but it was impossible for them to offend the Star Luo Empire's royal family so easily.

Xu Zihuang's heart stirred slightly, and he stood up and respectfully bowed to Huang Jinxu.

Whether out of respect for a titled Douluo-level powerhouse or out of principles of conduct, his gesture of respect was not beneath him.

Huang Jinxu nodded stiffly to Xu Zihuang.

Back then, he was aloof and arrogant, offending several major sects of Soul Masters, which led to his particularly miserable pursuit and killing later on.

Through his own experience, he realized that the martial arts world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.

Given Yu Tianhuang's talent, barring any unforeseen circumstances, his future achievements will undoubtedly surpass mine. Befriending him would certainly be entirely beneficial.

"Sit down first," Lang Ya said coldly.

Langya was clearly the leader of the two of them. Although Yutao was somewhat unwilling, he did not intend to disobey Langya.

Then, Lang Ya actually apologized sincerely to Xu Zihuang.

"I apologize to you on behalf of Yu Tao. Actually, neither of us had any ill intentions towards you. The promise I made before still stands, and I hope you can seriously consider it. As I said before, only our Body Sect truly understands the Body Martial Soul."

"Seniors, I understand, but I am not ready to join the sect yet." Xu Zihuang smiled gently, seemingly without any reservations.

Although he knew perfectly well that Lang Ya had completely tacitly approved of Yu Tao's actions, there was no point in showing displeasure or dissatisfaction at this point.

Lang Ya gave Xu Zihuang an appreciative look, then turned to look at Huang Jinxu, his smile instantly vanishing.

“We brothers understand what the Star Luo Empire’s royal family means. However, we need to talk to this young man who possesses a Body Martial Soul about some secrets of Body Martial Souls. We hope Brother Huang can excuse us for a moment.”

Although Huang Jinxu was somewhat dissatisfied with Lang Ya's tone, he did not say anything.

The secrets of the Body Spirit are an absolute taboo for the Body Sect. Lang Ya's words were already quite harsh.

Even with the Star Luo Empire's royal family as his backer, he couldn't possibly be so reckless as to completely offend the Body Sect.

With a flash of starlight, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu vanished from his spot in the next instant.

But when facing Xu Zihuang, Lang Ya's attitude changed completely, and he spoke with a gentle smile.

"If you don't mind, you can show me your second awakening of your Body Martial Soul. Although I can't teach you the sect's secret techniques before you join our Body Sect, my Martial Soul is also of the spiritual attribute, so I should be able to give you some guidance."

Since forceful methods are not working, he can now choose to let Yu Tianhuang personally experience the Body Sect's profound research on Body Martial Soul.

However, this only applies to the period when Yu Tianhuang is in Xingluo City. They are determined to bring Yu Tianhuang back to their sect.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, senior."

Xu Zihuang hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed.

Langya and Yutao meant him no harm and were from the Body Sect, so he had no reason to refuse if they could offer him some guidance.

One's own exploration is certainly no match for the accumulated wisdom of the Body Sect over thousands of years.

Moreover, he also had doubts about the ability of his original martial soul to awaken a second time.

Xu Zihuang's gaze sharpened, and four spirit rings—three purple and one black—emerged one after another from beneath his feet. Under his control, the spiritual power within his sea of ​​consciousness instantly surged, radiating a dazzling purple-gold light. His pair of brilliant golden eyes also shone brightly at this moment.

Even the sleeping Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was startled by the sudden changes in Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.

A terrifying aura emanated from Xu Zihuang's body, and a phantom image of a vertical eye gradually solidified behind him. However, this vertical eye only lasted for a moment before Lang Ya stopped it.

"Stop!" Lang Ya shouted anxiously, grabbing Xu Zihuang's shoulder. Even when facing the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu earlier, he hadn't reacted this strongly.

Xu Zihuang could even clearly feel Lang Ya's right hand, which was patting his shoulder, trembling slightly.

Yu Tao's pupils contracted sharply, and his thick right arm instinctively exerted force, crushing the sofa beneath him into dust.

Langya took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his mind again.

"With your current cultivation level, you absolutely must not use this power lightly, otherwise it will definitely cause irreversible damage to your body. This is where my brother and I live. We will be in Star Luo City during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. You can come to us anytime if you need anything."

Lang Ya handed a special metal plaque to Xu Zihuang, then pulled Yu Tao along and walked out of the Xinghuang Hotel without looking back.

Once he blended into the bustling crowd, Yu Tao finally came to his senses and, utterly shocked, transmitted his voice to Lang Ya using his soul power.

"How is this possible?! How could this level of secondary awakening be innate awakening?!"

"Yu Tao, you don't need to say anything now. Return to the sect immediately and inform the sect leader! Such a promising talent must be brought back to the sect! Even if it offends the Star Luo Empire's royal family and Shrek Academy, it doesn't matter."

Chapter 170 Second Awakening of a Semi-Gold-Level Body Martial Soul

The competition at Xingluo Square was in full swing when Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo, standing atop the imperial city wall, suddenly glanced over.

As if responding to his gaze, Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo who had previously helped Xu Zihuang block Yu Tao in the lobby of the Star Emperor Hotel, suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Huang Jinxu's lips moved slightly.

Xu Jiawei frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed, and sighed softly.

"As expected, the Body Sect has made its move. Of course, how could anyone not be tempted by a genius of this caliber? Moreover, this little guy already possesses a Body Martial Soul, which gives the Body Sect an even stronger reason to act."

"Why isn't such a genius a member of our Star Luo Empire?" the emperor exclaimed once again.

In the lobby on the first floor of the Star Emperor Hotel, Xu Zihuang, who had retracted his martial spirit, had a thoughtful look in his deep purple eyes.

Judging from Lang Ya and Yu Tao's performance just now, his second awakening of his original martial soul is definitely extraordinary.

If it were merely a second awakening of a Silver-level Body Martial Soul, it shouldn't have caused the two of them to lose their composure so much. However, it also couldn't be a Gold-level Body Martial Soul second awakening, something only a breakthrough to the Title Douluo level could accomplish.

Therefore, the most appropriate explanation would be a second awakening of the main spirit, somewhere between silver and gold level. Or perhaps a semi-gold level awakening?

However, he himself couldn't be completely certain. After all, he was still exploring his own martial soul, the Golden Eye.

Just then, Tianmeng Bingcan's slightly apprehensive yet solemn voice suddenly rang out in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Zihuang, were you just about to use the ability of your original martial soul's second awakening?"

"What's wrong, Tianmeng?" Since part of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's spiritual essence had merged with Xu Zihuang, he keenly sensed Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's unusual emotions.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm pondered, "That guy with the big head was right. Using your second awakening ability of your original martial soul will indeed cause irreversible damage to your body. Just now, you only used it for a moment, and the spiritual power in your spiritual sea was already showing signs of being drained. With your current physical condition and the strength of your spiritual power, it is difficult to support such a burden. Moreover, according to my deduction, once you really use it, it is likely that not only your soul power and spiritual power will be consumed, but even your life force."

"Vitality?" Xu Zihuang's expression turned solemn.

Consuming life force is a characteristic of using a Gold-level Body Martial Soul for a second awakening. This is also why a Gold-level Body Martial Soul's second awakening is so powerful.

It's like igniting the flame of life in an unconventional way.

For example, the power unleashed by level 98 Super Douluo like Du Busi and Xuan Lao once they ignite their life flame at any cost is enough for them to directly confront a level 99 Limit Douluo.

However, the cost of consuming life force was not too heavy for Xu Zihuang.

Because he possesses the Gold of Life, he can replenish his life force at any time.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm clearly realized this as well, and its tone returned to its usual languidness.

"I almost forgot about the Life Gold you have. Anyway, I was just mentioning it casually. What you do with it is up to you. By the way, I see that your physical condition has improved significantly. You must have taken that piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue. Now that I'm awake, I'll release the energy that was sealed in your fourth spirit ring."

"Given your current physical strength, it seems you'll be able to absorb a spirit ring of around 50,000 years once your soul power reaches level 50. No wonder you're the one I've set my sights on." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled, released the portion of the sealed energy, and then happily went back to sleep.

"Alright, I'm going back to sleep."

Every time Xu Zihuang wakes up, his overall strength increases significantly, so there's no need for it to worry about him.

There's nothing more satisfying than this.

Most importantly, Xu Zihuang's extraordinary talent gave him a clear hope of achieving immortality.

Xu Zihuang ignored Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and focused his mind on his body, guiding the energy released by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to merge with his own.

This is where the advantage of a spirit-attribute soul master becomes apparent. If an ordinary soul master were to absorb such a large amount of soul ring power, they would definitely need to sit cross-legged and meditate. However, Xu Zihuang, relying on his strong mental power, could complete the process while standing.

The energy of the spirit ring, which was about five thousand years old, posed no burden on him at all, and it was completely integrated into his body in no time.

From this moment on, the age of his fourth spirit ring officially reached 35,000 years. At the same time, his spirit power cultivation also improved to a certain extent.

The energy of a 30,000-year spirit ring is still too enormous. Even though he is an ultimate martial soul possessor, his spirit power directly reached the latter half of level 42 after fusing with the spirit ring of the Silver Spirit Beast.

After a period of cultivation and merging with the sealed soul ring power, his soul power is now just one step away from breaking through to level 43.

Feeling the surge of power within him, Xu Zihuang subconsciously clenched his fists.

At this moment, the other members of the Shrek reserve team, including Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Chen Zifeng, and Gongyang Mo from the regular team, all walked up the stairs.

Ma Xiaotao walked at the front, drifting over like a red cloud. She first glanced at Xu Zihuang with concern, then asked with an air of domineering confidence.

"Where are those two guys? What kind of bullshit Body Sect are they? They dare to cause trouble for Shrek Academy. I'll roast them into dried meat."

Ma Xiaotao does have a very short temper, but she's also very protective of her own. Moreover, she had previously relied on Xu Zihuang's help to resolve her internal fire issues several times, so naturally she wouldn't hesitate to step up.

"Senior Sister Xiao Tao, those two seniors from the Body Sect meant me no harm. They just chatted with me about Body Martial Souls." Xu Zihuang smiled and took the initiative to greet them.

"Is it really the Body Sect?" Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly. Knowing the Body Sect's style of doing things very well, she couldn't help but ask.

"They didn't let you join their sect?"

"I did say so, but I didn't agree. I don't want to join a sect and be bound by its rules for the time being," Xu Zihuang replied, and seeing the confusion in the eyes of the inner disciples, he explained knowingly.

"Just now, the Guardian Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, Senior Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, stepped forward."

"Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo?" Dai Yueheng's expression changed slightly. As the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, he knew some secrets about the Star Luo Empire's royal family. This Heavenly Fiend Douluo always obeyed only Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire.

He said with a hint of joking, "Junior Brother Yu, this Heavenly Fiend Douluo is someone close to His Majesty. It seems you are highly regarded by His Majesty."
