Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

The mental imprint only served to signify identity. Mu Ye easily broke it open, revealing two large, flamboyant characters written on the white paper.

The true self.

"Sigh, the true self... Hmm? The true self!!"

Chapter 30 Ginseng Soup is Here! Makino, the dog, sneaks around, hehehe (4K)

Mu Ye nearly bit his tongue. He was a smart man and instantly understood Han Tianyi's meaning!

The young man before them possessed the very same divine-level Body Martial Soul that the Body Sect had always dreamed of: True Self!

"Uncle-Master, I knew that even though you're in the Spirit Pagoda, your heart is with the Body Sect! Whenever something good happens, your first thought is always the sect!"

Mu Ye inwardly gave Han Tianyi a big thumbs up, then excitedly grabbed Zhao Xuanzhen's shoulders, his eyes fixed on that handsome face:

"Come, let me see your martial spirit."

Judging from Mu Ye's state, Zhao Xuanzhen roughly guessed the contents of the secret letter. With his Martial Soul True Self in action, three jet-black ten-thousand-year soul rings rose from his feet and pulsed around his body.

His vital energy spread out without reservation, causing the pupils of the Divine Craftsman Zhenhua to dilate involuntarily. In the Soul Master system of Douluo Continent, vital energy is almost equivalent to physical strength. Zhao Xuanzhen's vital energy was so powerful that it even surpassed that of most five-ring Soul Kings of the power-attack type!

"That's so right! This is exactly how my true self should be!"

Mu Ye clenched his fist tightly, his old face filled with unparalleled excitement. Among all the original martial souls he had ever seen, none of them at the same level could rival Zhao Xuanzhen!

"Om-"

The next second, the spiritual energy of the Spirit Sea Realm swept across the entire room, and the black and white yin-yang energy swirled like the wind, reflecting the three ten-thousand-year soul rings. Behind Zhao Xuanzhen, a humanoid phantom materialized, its gaze distant and serene, looking down upon the mortal world.

"A body comparable to the Golden Dragon King, a spirit comparable to the Silver Dragon King... There's no mistake, there's absolutely no mistake!"

Mu Ye gazed at the enlarged phantom of Zhao Xuanzhen and murmured softly.

The Body Sect believes that humans are the masters of all things, possessing infinite possibilities. Therefore, there must exist in the world a god-level Body Martial Soul that humans awaken on their own, combining an indestructible body with a vast and boundless spirit.

The two Dragon Kings that split from the Dragon God were exactly like this, so the Body Sect named its God-level Body Martial Soul "True Self" in comparison to the Dragon God.

In reality, the true self only exists in the imagination of the Body Sect. Some members of the Body Sect think that their ancestors were being delusional. The most powerful martial souls in human history are the Sea God and the Six-Winged Angel, which are still far from the Dragon God.

Only a few of the original disciples firmly believe that the true self will surely descend upon the continent and rule over humanity!

After calming down a bit, Makino asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhao Xuanzhen".

"A good name, a perfect match for my true self!"

Even if it were Zhang Gou Dan, Mu Ye would have to force himself to say that a humble name makes one easier to raise. He reached out and removed the chef's hat from his head, which was detrimental to his high-class image, straightened his chest, raised his head, and spoke in a loud and impassioned voice:

"My name is Mu Ye, the current sect master of the Body Sect and the Body Douluo."

Without exaggeration, I am the most suitable Title Douluo to be your teacher in the Douluo Continent. Even quasi-gods like Sky Douluo Yun Ming and Vast Ocean Douluo Chen Xinjie do not have as much understanding of their original martial soul as I do!

Xuanzhen, you are destined to be with me, and you are destined to be with the Body Sect!

"If you become my disciple, I will impart to you the secret techniques of the Body Sect, allowing you to unleash the full power of your True Self Martial Soul and become the most powerful Body Douluo in history!"

Upon hearing this, Zhenhua couldn't help but smile. Today seemed to be a good day. He had found Jiutian, who was qualified to inherit the mantle of the Divine Craftsman, and Muye had met Zhao Xuanzhen, who possessed a divine-level Martial Soul. The two of them should have a big drink together!

Beside him, Gu Yue didn't know Zhao Xuanzhen very well yet. She turned her head to look at him, wondering if he had changed his allegiance, left the Spirit Transmission Tower, and joined the Body Sect to become Mu Ye's disciple.

The Nine Heavens remained cold and silent. The Eight Deceitful Gods never cared about the background of the Master of Qimen. They only wanted to follow the Master of Qimen to transcend the limits of the world's rules and live up to the prestige of the gods.

As for Na'er... she was already sweating profusely!

Na'er lived in the Spirit Pagoda for four years and knew all too well how much Leng Yaozhu cherished Zhao Xuanzhen. She was extremely grateful that the other party was not here, otherwise, as soon as Mu Ye uttered the word "teacher", Leng Yaozhu would definitely have gone berserk instantly!

Both titled Douluo were four-word Battle Armor Masters; their battle armors canceled each other out, so it all came down to soul power. The huge difference between level 99 and 94 meant Leng Yaozhu practically devoured Mu Ye alive on the spot!

Completely unaware, Mu Ye's world consisted only of Zhao Xuanzhen. His eyes were overflowing with fervor, and his vivid expression seemed to speak volumes.

Come to the bowl!

"I apologize, Senior Muye, my master's title is Heavenly Phoenix," Zhao Xuanzhen said apologetically.

"Tianfeng Douluo Leng Yaozhu!?"

Upon hearing this title, Makino gasped in shock.

The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo's fame resounded throughout the world. A Limit Douluo, a four-word Douluo Armor Master, the Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, and the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, a family that has held power in the Spirit Pagoda for generations... Leng Yaozhu was not someone that the dilapidated Body Sect could afford to offend.

He suddenly realized that with Zhao Xuanzhen's monstrous talent, how could he not be valued by the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda? It was perfectly normal for Leng Yaozhu to take him as her disciple.

Although the Heavenly Phoenix and the True Self are completely unrelated, the relationship between master and disciple has always been unrelated to their respective martial souls. The two most famous master-disciple pairs in Douluo Continent, Tang San/Yu Xiaogang and Huo Yuhao/Dragon God Douluo Mu En, had almost no connection between their martial souls.

"Too late!"

Mu Ye was heartbroken. He had missed out on the God-level True Self Martial Soul today. If the ancestors of the Body Sect could crawl out of their graves tonight, his great-grandmother would slap him twice!

Zhao Xuanzhen's expression remained calm and composed, showing no sign of lingering attachment. The sect and the academy were two different things. After graduating from the academy, everyone would go back to their own homes and find their own mothers, but the sect meant responsibility, which could not be easily abandoned.

For example, in the Tang Sect, disciples must return the martial arts techniques they have learned to the sect before leaving. In the Body Sect, disciples must swear an oath with their Body Martial Soul that they must not privately teach the secrets of their Body to outsiders.

The Body Sect has a history of ten thousand years, recording the precious secrets left by many Body Soul Masters over the past ten thousand years. Zhao Xuanzhen naturally hopes to borrow and learn from it, and gain some inspiration for Body Martial Souls and a second awakening.

However, if he absolutely had to become an apprentice, Zhao Xuanzhen could only regretfully give up and undergo extreme training to awaken his second awakening, or he could take the example of Huo Yuhao and consume a medicinal herb of the immortal level.

In another timeline, the juvenile form of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass appeared at an auction. With the immense energy of the Spirit Pagoda, one could search the entire Douluo Continent and have a chance to obtain a divine herb.

Leng Yaozhu regarded him as her only disciple, and Zhao Xuanzhen also did not want anyone to be ranked alongside Leng Yaozhu.

I, Zhao Xuanzhen, am loyal!

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Zhenhua, Muye's good friend, quickly stepped forward and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Xuanzhen, you've come all this way to deliver a message, why don't you have a meal together and try Muye's cooking?"

This is my newly accepted disciple, Jiutian. He should be about the same age as you all. It's beneficial for peers to get to know each other and exchange cultivation experiences.

"Yeah!"

Makino received Zhenhua's signal: no matter what, keep the person here first.

"Ten thousand years ago, the Martial Soul of the Body was considered to be a disciple of the Body Sect. Now things are different. We are all family members connected by blood!"

"Since we're already here, let's have lunch here!"

"Well... I apologize for disturbing you two seniors."

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded. The Chinese people could not resist the four-word mantra. In addition, they could take this opportunity to make connections with the Nine Heavens and lay the groundwork for the Nine Heavens to help them forge battle armor metal in the future.

Zhenhua led the four teenagers to their seats, and the five of them chatted about everything under the sun, gradually building up the atmosphere. Mu Ye rushed into the kitchen, turned on his soul-guided communicator, dialed Han Tianyi's number, and used his soul power to seal off the surroundings to prevent the conversation from leaking out.

“Makino…”

Before long, Han Tianyi's cheerful voice came through the soul communication device.

"What's going on, Uncle-Master!"

Mu Ye had no time for beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "I saw your letter. Zhao Xuanzhen's martial soul is indeed the true self!"

"I thought you sent him to me so he could become my disciple and lead the Body Sect to revive, but how come he has a teacher? It's none other than the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, Leng Yaozhu!"

"Don't get excited."

"Was I excited?" Mu Ye's eyes widened. "Okay, I admit I was excited... That was my true self! Which sect leader wouldn't be excited!"

"Calm down, listen to me," Han Tianyi said. "Xuanzhen's mother came from the Lingfeng lineage, a branch of the Phoenix family. His parents died in battle not long after he was born."

Because the Phoenix family's descendants were dwindling, and the main branch of the Leng family was even extinct, Tianfeng adopted him and raised him as a precious child. "Your martial uncle advises you to give up the idea of ​​taking on a disciple as soon as possible. The fact that you're meeting him alone today is already a huge sacrifice on my part, and I have ulterior motives."

"Uncle-Master, you know that the Body Sect has declined. After you and Uncle-Master Hu Jie left, only Aruheng and I were left. I am unlikely to break through to Super Douluo in this lifetime. Aruheng has excellent talent for cultivation, but he is not very bright and cannot shoulder the great responsibility of revitalizing the sect!"

"If I don't accept Zhao Xuanzhen as my disciple, I... will be ashamed before my ancestors!"

A hint of dejection appeared on Mu Ye's face. Ever since the war between the four kingdoms ten thousand years ago, the Body Sect had rapidly declined, falling from the top power on the continent and never recovering. He felt that Zhao Xuanzhen was a gift from heaven, the next leader of the Body Sect.

"Look further ahead. Who said that revitalizing the Body Sect requires you to take Zhao Xuanzhen in as a disciple?" Han Tianyi chuckled. "That child is exceptionally talented, with a calm and rational temperament. With Leng Yaozhu and the Spirit Pagoda protecting him, he will be the next Yun Ming to dominate the era."

As a former member of the Body Sect, I am grateful for the sect's nurturing and will give you a chance to get on board.

Moreover, Xuanzhen remaining in the Spirit Transmission Tower would, in some ways, be even more helpful to the Body Sect than if he had directly joined the sect.

"I didn't understand. Please explain in detail, Uncle-Master," Mu Ye said, looking puzzled.

"Fool!"

Han Tianyi laughed and scolded: "Why has the Body Sect declined? First, there are fewer and fewer disciples in the sect. Body Soul Masters have been recruited by major forces such as Shrek Academy, Spirit Pagoda, and War God Hall. Second, there is a lack of top-level combat power to guard the sect. Even you, the sect leader, are not a Super Douluo."

To address the first point, the Spirit Pagoda can be of great help, since every Soul Master needs to fuse with a Soul Spirit. The Spirit Pagoda possesses absolute monopoly power over Soul Spirits, and in the realm of information, it is number one on the continent.

Imagine if Zhao Xuanzhen agreed to prioritize introducing Body Soul Masters to the Body Sect in the future. At that time, the sect would be prosperous, and you would have the face to meet your ancestors.

The second point is equally easy. So what if you don't join the Body Sect? You can just force yourself to teach. You can use techniques like second awakening and sect secrets in turn. I remember you're a level nine mecha engineer, which makes you even stronger than Tianfeng in this aspect.

You may not have the title of teacher, but you have the substance. In twenty or thirty years, when Xuanzhen has fully matured, invite him to be a guest elder and honorary vice sect leader of the Body Sect. It's just a nominal position, but you'll use it to make the sect famous throughout the world. Do I need to teach you this little trick?”

"Thank you, uncle, for your guidance!"

Makino nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice. The old artist was indeed experienced and lived up to his reputation as a genius with a brilliant mind!

In the illusory realm of the Spirit Pagoda, Han Tianyi disconnected the soul-guided communication and said with a smile, "Troublesome on both sides, do you think it's easy for this old man!"

……

Tian Dou City Blacksmith Association, Zhenhua's Exclusive Little Kitchen.

"Ginseng soup is served!"

Makino's gloom vanished, and a bright smile bloomed on his face, like a chrysanthemum. The soup rippled with emerald waves, and translucent ginseng slices floated among them.

Zhao Xuanzhen leaned back tactically, seriously suspecting that Mu Ye was hiding a codename. Beside him, Na'er had already eagerly picked up a porcelain cup, the pale blue soup reflecting off her silvery-white pupils, making them sparkle.

"Gudong, Gudong——"

"It's delicious! Zhao Xuanzhen, drink it quickly!" Na'er urged.

"Hmm... okay, I'll try it."

The broth slid down his throat, the liquid as cool as snow. The moment it entered his stomach, it exploded into a blazing fire, burning along his meridians to his limbs and bones. Underneath the pale blue veins on the back of Zhao Xuanzhen's hand, the patterns of jade could be faintly seen.

"You're being generous today, using ginseng to make soup. You usually wouldn't even make it for me!" Zhenhua joked.

"For the children!"

Makino sneered: "You benefited from their success."

The Jade Ginseng grows in desolate swamps and marshes, taking a hundred years to grow even an inch. It possesses the powerful effects of purifying impurities in the body and nourishing qi and blood. Mu Ye could feel that after drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, Zhao Xuanzhen's qi and blood fluctuations became extremely vigorous.

The copper plates jingled softly as the dishes arrived one after another. The Starry Rice, each grain coated with a shimmering stardust, tasted like a flowing galaxy. The Crimson Flame Fruit Pastries were stacked into a pagoda, their crisp crust embossed with fiery dragon patterns. Gu Yue's red lips bit into the pastry, and the molten fruit filling flooded her mouth, causing her earlobes to flush crimson.

Hiss—not spicy!

Everyone was satisfied with the meal. Huo Yuhao was the number one chef in Douluo Season 2, and Mu Ye was a strong contender for the title of chef in Season 3!

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Mu Ye warmly took Zhao Xuanzhen's hand and said, "All beings under heaven are one family. Stay a few more days and let's get to know each other better!"

Na'er suddenly felt a chill, and Gu Yue frowned. This kind of enthusiasm, like a dog seeing shit, was extremely strange!

At Mu Ye's warm invitation, the three agreed to stay at the Blacksmith Association in Tian Dou City for a few days.

The master craftsman Zhenhua dragged Jiutian along to learn forging, while Muye told Zhao Xuanzhen about the glorious history of the Body Sect.

Na'er and Gu Yue were flanking Zhao Xuanzhen, listening intently until Mu Ye casually mentioned that the Body Sect had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest and killed seven 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Gu Yue's expression instantly changed, and she tilted her head to examine Mu Ye, seemingly observing whether his head was round or not...

As night fell, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

In the stillness of the night, Zhao Xuanzhen's door quietly opened a crack, and a dark golden figure slipped in with a stealthy air. Looking at the young man meditating on the bed, a pair of large hands slowly reached out, and a wicked grin spread across his face.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Chapter 31 Extreme Training in Death Valley, All Pain Flies Away, Lung Mist Na'er and the Divine Doctor Gu Yue (4K)

"Senior, your laughter doesn't sound like that of a good person."

The giant hand was only 0.01 centimeters away from him. Zhao Xuanzhen opened his eyes, his tone containing a hint of helplessness.

"is it?"

The dark gold color slowly faded, revealing Mu Ye's face. The sect master rubbed his chin and said in surprise, "Although I did not deliberately conceal my aura, it is still not something a Soul Venerable in a meditative state can detect. Your perception seems to be too sharp."

Zhao Xuanzhen smiled without saying a word. The wind was his second pair of eyes, observing everything around him in his place.

"Since you've discovered me, then this sect leader might as well stop pretending!"

Mu Ye chuckled, and then Zhao Xuanzhen felt a tightness around the back of his neck, and his whole body flew up as if riding on clouds.
