Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

"Then let's stay within the sect."

So many beautiful women, it's truly not to be missed.

As for cultivation... he can always find time amidst his busy schedule, and besides, he has already broken through to level 77, which is not slow.

……

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

The Sun Moon Empire remained silent, as if nothing had happened. The exchange students sent by Shrek Academy were recalled ahead of schedule, but it wasn't until both sides arrived in Maple Leaf City to exchange hostages that the powerful leader of the Sun Moon side realized that Xiao Hongchen was not among them.

They wanted to regret it, but it was obviously too late. Yan Shaozhe didn't give them a chance at all, and even brought out Xuanzi, forcibly bringing back all of his disciples.

The leader of the Sun and Moon team was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Considering that Xiao Hongchen's political attributes were now close to zero, and he was at most a punching bag for the royal family's high-ranking officials to vent their anger, he had no choice but to lead the team back.

Immediately afterwards, the Sun Moon Empire announced that all sects and forces could participate in this competition without any restrictions, which instantly ignited public opinion across the continent. After all, the competition clearly stipulated that only academies were eligible to register, and countless hidden sects were overjoyed and returned to their mountain gates.

After all, the competition generates a huge amount of traffic; as long as you make it into the top sixteen, you won't have to worry about student recruitment in the future.

It's also a form of publicity for the sect itself.

While the mainland was buzzing with discussion, Zhang Lexuan and others within the Body Sect were extremely surprised, because the development of this matter was exactly as Lu Cheng had said: they were going to use bait to lure out most of the forces on the mainland, and then wipe them all out in Mingdu.

This is a harbinger of a great war.

Originally, the sect wanted to use the Snow Demon Sect as a substitute name for the battle, but Lu Cheng made the decision directly: the Body Sect is the Body Sect. No need for all those roundabout ways. Everyone knows this. The Sun Moon Royal Family can't be so stupid as not to see that the so-called Snow Demon Sect is just a shell of the Body Sect.

They can't cause trouble at the beginning; they'll at least wait until the competition is about to end or during the finals before starting.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the small courtyard.

Lu Cheng exhaled a breath of stale air, his upper body bare as he soaked in the hot spring. On the other side, Ma Xiaotao's pretty face was slightly flushed, her delicate hands restlessly kneading something under the water, while she occasionally glanced at Lu Cheng to observe his reaction.

"Sister Xiaotao, I'm really angry."

Lu Cheng opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

"Well……"

Ma Xiaotao stared at Lu Cheng with her long, narrow, beautiful eyes, then dived underwater. As a burst of bubbles rose to the surface, a look of relief appeared on Lu Cheng's handsome face.

He leaned his arms against the edge of the bathtub, feeling completely at ease.

For the past six months, I've been living in the Land of Women. Apart from Wang Dong'er, I've basically made a move on everyone else, including Jiang Nannan, who usually seems shy but is actually incredibly crazy, Tang Ya, who is "repaying a debt of gratitude," Zhang Lexuan, who often harasses the main wife, and Ju Zi, among others.

Now, his strength has finally reached the Soul Douluo level. He only needs to acquire one more Soul Ring to advance to the Soul Douluo level.

As for their actual combat strength...

In short, he has never fought Du Busi one-on-one. As for ordinary Title Douluos, even those with strong original martial souls are no match for him. Super Douluo, without using his trump cards, is still an insurmountable threshold.

“It’s time to go to Sunset Forest again.” Lu Cheng pressed down on Ma Xiaotao’s head, which was half-submerged in the water. The beauty’s red hair was draped over the water and floated on the surface, like a blooming rose. Combined with what she was doing, it made people even more furious.

He pondered for a moment.

There are still many treasures in Sunset Forest that haven't been completely taken away.

Especially the two dragon bones buried beneath the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, those things were a great tonic for him, and also a powerful boost to his physical body. In the original work, Huo Qubing was able to condense a soul core at the Soul Saint realm by using the dragon core to nourish his body.

Of course, that dragon pill had already been nurtured by Mu En, washing away the dragon's ferocity.

But what will become of the Immortal Herb Garden? That is also a question.

After all, it was Jiaojiao who helped him in the first place, and he couldn't just follow the example of Tang Shenwang and take all the benefits, leaving only a mess behind.

"No need for anything. When you ascend to the upper realm, just take us with you," Jiao Jiao said calmly from within the sea of ​​consciousness.

"That's true." Lu Cheng nodded slightly, pressing Ma Xiaotao's head harder, while Jiao Jiao in the sea of ​​consciousness rolled her eyes and dived back into the sea of ​​consciousness.

If her soul weren't devoid of a physical form, then...

"Pfft..."

Ma Xiaotao suddenly popped out of the water, her bright red hair wet and draped over her shoulders. Her pretty face was flushed, and she glared at Lu Cheng with her beautiful eyes.

A beautiful woman emerges from her bath, a scene of breathtaking beauty.

Lu Cheng, however, seemed somewhat distracted.

Besides indulging in the comforts of a gentle home, various orders were also issued throughout the year.

Jing Hongchen did not disappoint him. He managed to set up a "mini Mingde Hall," juggling both talent development and scientific research, keeping himself extremely busy. Together with Xuan Ziwen, he researched methods to break through the Sun Moon Empire's linked defense soul guidance device.

Secondly, they also took on the task of manufacturing soul tools for the Body Sect. They tailored suitable combat soul tools for the elders of the Body Sect who were above the titled Douluo level. Don't think of them as a burden. High-level soul tools can significantly enhance the power of titled experts.

The reason why the original continent's titled powerhouses rarely used soul tools was simply because there were no suitable, level nine soul tools.

After all, soul tools of level nine and above are generally priced at several million gold soul coins, which is ridiculously expensive. Even for a titled Douluo, it would still hurt to buy one, or even be unaffordable.

As for the fully armed members of the Body Sect, there are some interesting stories to tell.

Secondly, there is the path of full awakening.

In Tiandou City and several surrounding large cities, the promotion proceeded without any resistance. Perhaps because they knew the terror of the Body Sect, even if those nobles or reclusive sects knew that this was detrimental to them, they dared not say anything, for fear that the domineering Body Sect would simply scatter their ashes.

But the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.

Perhaps it's because the emperor is far away and the forces there are complex and intertwined, making it impossible to pinpoint the source. The other side only sends small fry to stir up trouble.

Among them, the most rampant was one.

It is the Xuanming Sect located in Xuanming City...

Chapter 205 Xuanming Sect, New and Old Debts

Ontology.

In a secluded little courtyard.

Lu Cheng, dressed in a light blue robe, lay lazily on a bench, while Ma Xiaotao sat to one side, her long, beautiful legs crossed, her slender fingers gently massaging his shoulders.

"Young Sect Master." Lang Ya pushed open the door and entered, his expression slightly somber.

"Still the Xuanming Sect?" Lu Cheng asked calmly, his eyes closed.

“Not bad.” Lang Ya nodded slightly, somewhat annoyed. “Those bastards don’t allow any external forces to touch the city. They are an ironclad entity, having operated for thousands of years. Their influence in the local area is deeply entrenched. Moreover… they have colluded with dukes from many surrounding provinces, as well as powerful hidden sects to resist them.”

"This time, we were turned away again. We were planning to call in people to take action, but at the crucial moment, people from Shrek Academy appeared."

Lang Ya said with a face full of resentment, clearly having suffered a great loss.

It might even lead to losing face.

He only brought a few third-generation disciples, all of whom were powerful Soul Douluo level experts, while the opposing side directly sent several Title Douluo, led by Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, who suppressed them so much that they could not raise their heads.

The Body Sect and Shrek Academy had a long-standing feud, and the last competition had completely turned them against each other, so Yan Shaozhe naturally couldn't say anything nice.

“Shrek Academy?” Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Those guys actually have the mind to care about these things?"

"You've already attacked them right at their doorstep, how can we just ignore it?" Lang Ya's eye twitched, and he said helplessly.

Lu Cheng nodded. Shrek Academy and Xuanming Sect were indeed interdependent, and being geographically close, any attempt to harm Xuanming Sect would be closely related to Shrek Academy.

In addition, what they were going to do was rather sensitive. The Spirit Hall was Shrek Academy's mortal enemy, and even the old men and women of the Sea God Pavilion were almost irritated by the mention of the Spirit Hall.

What he just said was indeed quite domineering.

Ultimately, however, he didn't really take Shrek seriously.

"If that's the case, then so be it..."

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Let me go and see if Shrek Academy can protect the Xuanming Sect."

"Hehehe, that would be the best." Lang Ya chuckled. There's nothing that can't be broken by force. He had been hesitant before because he didn't want to disrupt the local ecosystem and the balance of power. Now that someone was courting death, he didn't mind teaching them a lesson.

"transfer order!"

Lu Cheng slowly stood up, the smile on his face gradually fading.

He casually tossed a crimson-gold token to Lang Ya: "The upper six elders will select three, the lower six elders will select three, and ten disciples from the third generation will gather here within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"Here!"

Lang Ya put away his playful smile, his expression turned solemn, and he spoke respectfully.

This is the sect leader's order, which carries the highest authority within the sect. Even the six elders are not allowed to disobey it. Of course, given Lu Cheng's current prestige within the sect, no one would be foolish enough to disobey.

With a flash, he disappeared into the courtyard.

Ma Xiaotao smiled slightly: "What, decided to go all out?"

"We'll wreck this bastard pond sooner or later."

Lu Cheng gave a soft snort.

The three of them, including Jiang's mother, suffered at the hands of the Xuanming Sect years ago; they'll get their revenge sooner or later!

……

Xuanming City.

In a magnificent courtyard, occupying the most luxurious location in the city, sits countless pavilions and towers, made of precious ancient wood, exuding a faint fragrance, and carved with various Xuanwu-shaped window patterns.

And it was in a courtyard.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a long black robe and with a burly and powerful physique, sat at the head of the table, looking down at everyone gathered here. Those who had come here were all powerful leaders of their respective regions, and even the weakest among them were experts at the Soul Douluo level.

Of course, this was by no means the source of his confidence in confronting the behemoth that was the Body Sect; his true trump card lay in…

Beside him, a handsome older man with gold-rimmed glasses, a scholarly air, and a gentle, refined demeanor smiled at him.

It was Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy.

I felt a little more at ease.

This is Shrek Academy, his pillar of strength!

Although the matter of the Xuanming Sect elders had once caused the two forces to become bitter enemies and almost turn against each other, the intervention of a stronger external enemy has now forced them to temporarily put aside their grudges and unite against a common enemy.

Yan Shaozhe also brought his sincere apologies and personally apologized to him for what happened back then.

His anger gradually subsided.
