Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Peerless Swordsman, obtains Lin Dong's inheritance.

Chapter 18 The Real Person Arrives

Even though the Body Sect is the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, many people within the Heavenly Soul Empire are unaware of its existence because it is a reclusive sect.

But Jiang Peng happens to be an exception.

As the current top student of Di'ao Academy, and a genius soul master who may enter the imperial center in the future, he knows many secrets that are unknown to others.

For example, on the day Shrek Academy came to demand Xuanzi's return, it was ostensibly Prince Xuexin who forced Xuanzi to retreat, but in reality, it was the Sect Master of the Body Sect who secretly intervened, clashing with Xuanzi and forcing him to retreat.

"How did you find out about the Body Sect?"

Jiang Peng's gaze became wary.

Since Huo Yuhao knew to use the Imperial Academy as a clue to find the Body Sect, it meant that he knew about the relationship between the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire.

At this point, if Jiang Peng tries to pretend to be stupid and deny it, he's just fooling himself.

"Even if it's your original martial soul, you shouldn't know that you should seek out ways to join the Body Sect from the Imperial Academy, or more precisely, from the Heavenly Soul Royal Family."

Jiang Peng couldn't help but think about it.

The current situation appears peaceful on the surface, but undercurrents are actually surging.

The friction between the Sun Moon Empire and the Empire on the border is becoming increasingly intense. No one knows whether Huo Yuhao is a spy that the Sun Moon Empire reluctantly planted.

Huo Yuhao didn't explain, but simply put away the two spirit rings of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

"Brother Jiang Peng, this way please." Huo Yuhao arrived at a corner where no one paid any attention.

Jiang Peng quickly followed up.

He was confident in his strength and believed he would soon become a six-ring Soul Emperor, so he was not afraid of Huo Yuhao trying to trip him up.

However, in the next instant, Jiang Peng felt a violent pressure, like that of a prehistoric beast, surge over Huo Yuhao like a tidal wave.

In Jiang Peng's eyes, Huo Yuhao's figure was undergoing an astonishing change.

A blinding, cold light erupted from between his brows, and the snow-white dragon pattern instantly spread wildly as if it were alive.

Ice-blue dragon scales grew layer upon layer on Huo Yuhao's skin, emitting a metallic clanging sound as he moved.

The water elements in the air were frozen into tiny ice crystals that fell down. When Jiang Peng recovered from the pressure, he was horrified to find that Huo Yuhao had transformed into a dragon-man with dragon scales and dragon armor on his face.

A spirit ring, purplish-black in color, rose up from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.

In an instant, Huo Yuhao's already violent aura became as turbulent as boiling oil on a hot fire.

"I possess twin martial souls."

Huo Yuhao raised his arm, and an eyeball-shaped piece of ice condensed on his dragon claw: "The first martial soul, the Spirit Eye, the original martial soul."

"Second Martial Soul: Azure Sky Ice Dragon, the Ultimate Martial Soul."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao had a thought and withdrew his Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon Martial Soul, instantly reverting to his noble appearance as a young man.

Jiang Peng felt a chill run down his spine, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

Ultimate Martial Soul?

This kind of martial spirit that only exists in legends actually appeared right in front of me!

Jiang Peng no longer doubted Huo Yuhao's identity.

No Soul Master faction would be willing to set a trap for Huo Yuhao, a Soul Master with twin Martial Souls at his age.

Especially the combination of the original martial soul and the ultimate martial soul.

Because this is a talent that is enough to change the entire landscape of the Soul Master world!

Jiang Peng took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock in his heart.

His gaze swept back and forth over Huo Yuhao, as if he wanted to get to know this young man again.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Now, Brother Jiang Peng, can you believe my identity?"

"I am an orphan of the Star Luo Empire. I once read a description of the Body Sect in the Imperial Public Library, so I know that there is such a Soul Master sect in the Heavenly Soul Realm."

"The reason I joined the Body Sect is because of my ultimate martial soul."

Huo Yuhao's fingers transformed into dragon claws.

The dragon claw gently gripped the wall, and instantly a thick layer of solid ice emanated from its claw.

Huo Yuhao's gaze became extremely profound: "We all know that twin martial souls can only be born when the two martial souls are of comparable quality."

"I believe that the Spirit Eye, which can coexist with the ultimate martial soul, is not so simple. Therefore, I came to the Heavenly Soul Empire, wanting to join the Body Sect and unravel the mysteries of the Spirit Eye martial soul."

"As for why I sought out the God's Academy..."

Huo Yuhao shrugged and spread his hands: "I just wanted to take a gamble. If even the Heavenly Soul Royal Family doesn't know where the Body Sect is, where else am I supposed to look?"

Jiang Peng nodded thoughtfully.

He did not doubt Huo Yuhao's explanation.

After all, no one would have expected that Huo Yuhao's Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon Martial Soul was something he had only acquired a few days ago.

Jiang Peng looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, lowered his voice and said to Huo Yuhao, "Brother, hurry up and take this piece of solid ice. Then I'll take you to the Dean and have him introduce you to someone from the Body Sect."

After saying that, Jiang Peng rubbed his hands together and turned around excitedly: "My god, this is an ultimate martial soul! We're rich! The Heavenly Soul Empire is really rich this time!"

Huo Yuhao followed behind Jiang Peng, secretly relieved.

His explanation is completely untenable.

But he had calculated it perfectly. No one would doubt that a second martial soul could be obtained after birth, which is why he dared to swagger into the Imperial Academy.

Jiang Peng led Huo Yuhao through the main campus of Di'ao Academy, heading straight for an ancient building at the very back.

The teaching buildings here are solemn and dignified in style, showcasing the grandeur of Di'ao as a royal academy.

Huge soul-guiding lamps hang between the pillars, with signs indicating the way to the various classes at Dio. Whenever a student passes by, they are given directions to the next class based on the nameplate on their chest.

"Senior Jiang Peng, who is this?" A student noticed Huo Yuhao following behind Jiang Peng.

Jiang Peng walked briskly, clearly not wanting to linger.

"New transfer student, don't ask too many questions," he said without turning his head.

Soon, Jiang Peng led Huo Yuhao to a towering tower.

The tower is entirely gray, making it stand out starkly against the surrounding opulent school buildings.

"This is the Dean's office," Jiang Peng explained in a low voice. "The Dean is the current Emperor's younger brother and will soon become a Title Douluo. If you want to join the Body Sect, you can only contact them through the Dean."

Huo Yuhao followed Jiang Peng up the spiral staircase.

When they reached the top floor of the tower, an ancient wooden door appeared before them, carved with intricate patterns, and faintly emanating fluctuations of soul power.

Jiang Peng knocked respectfully on the door: "Dean, your student Jiang Peng has important business to discuss with you."

Ordinary students would never have a status like Jiang Peng's.

However, as the first genius student since the founding of Di'ao Academy who had the potential to break through to become a Soul Emperor before the age of twenty, Xue Xin provided Jiang Peng with many conveniences at Di'ao Academy.

For example, whenever Jiang Peng's soul power level reaches its peak, he can come directly to the dean's office without reporting and request the Heavenly Soul Empire to send someone to help him hunt souls.

After a moment of silence, a gentle voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Then, with a creak, the wooden door opened automatically.

A middle-aged man dressed in a moon-white robe sat behind a large desk.

He had a refined and scholarly appearance, and his bright eyes were like spring water; just one glance from him would make people unconsciously relax.

"This student looks unfamiliar." Xue Xin's gaze fell directly on Huo Yuhao.

Jiang Peng quickly stepped forward and explained Huo Yuhao's situation to Xue Heng.

Xue Heng's teacup froze in mid-air. His eyes flickered violently for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

But the air in the room seemed to freeze at that moment.

He slowly stood up, an invisible pressure spreading out. Huo Yuhao keenly noticed that a serious light flashed in Xue Xin's originally gentle eyes.

Xue Xin came to Huo Yuhao's side, her moon-white robe fluttering without wind.

He gently patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, trying his best to suppress his excitement, and said in a trembling voice, "Child, can I see your martial soul?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

He first released his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, slowly rotated beneath his feet.

Upon seeing the second ring, which represented a millennium level, Xue Xin's pupils dilated sharply.

Then, Huo Yuhao switched to the Azure Sky Profound Ice Dragon Martial Soul, and terrifying cold air instantly erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire dean's office and covering it with a layer of frost.

A nearly ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring, brimming with ferocious energy, rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.

Feeling the oppressive aura that made her Snow Cloud Martial Soul tremble uncontrollably, Xue Xin pursed her lips, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

His gaze lingered on Huo Yuhao for a long time, then he suddenly turned to Jiang Peng and said, "Jiang Peng, you go out first."

Jiang Peng bowed respectfully and then left the room.

Once the door was closed, a golden barrier suddenly appeared, completely isolating the office.

At this moment, Xue Xin's expression turned extremely serious: "Yu Hao, do you know what these two martial souls of yours mean?"

"This means that I will become the strongest person in the world of Soul Masters in the future."

Huo Yuhao answered frankly, "There is no other."

"That's right." Xue Xin nodded slightly, then asked, "Are you sure Shrek Academy doesn't know what your martial soul is? You really didn't reveal your martial soul to them?"

"no."

Xue Xin remained silent for a moment, then stared into Huo Yuhao's eyes and said, "Tell me your true purpose for joining the Body Sect. Don't try to fool me with the same tricks you used to fool Jiang Peng; you know it won't work."

Huo Yuhao took out the White Tiger Dagger, his expression remaining calm: "The White Tiger Duke's Mansion is the enemy who killed my mother."

"Their War God Ancestor Dai Mubai comes from Shrek Academy, and I have no good feelings towards that place. If I want to take revenge on the White Tiger Duke's Mansion in the future, they will not only not become my help, but will also be a hindrance to me."

"When I first awakened my martial soul, it didn't manifest for various reasons. It wasn't until I left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and obtained my first soul ring that it truly awakened."

Xuexin took the White Tiger Dagger and carefully sensed the aura emanating from it.

"It is indeed something from the White Tiger family."

His gaze became exceptionally profound: "It seems that Duke Baihu's lax management of his household led to the loss of his last chance to rise to power."

Huo Yuhao remained silent.

For someone like Xue Xin, the moment she sees the White Tiger Dagger, her true identity is no longer a secret.

There's nothing new under the sun. It's not just the White Tiger Duke's Mansion that experiences things like this; in the Heavenly Soul Empire, it happens almost every day that illegitimate children are bullied by the main branch.

However, none of those people had the same opportunity as me.

Xuexin turned and walked to the cabinet behind the desk, used her soul power to open a hidden compartment, and then took out a piece of jade with a bright green color and a crystal clear appearance.

"I'll contact the people from the Body Sect right away. But before that, I need you to promise me one thing."

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"No matter how high you reach in the future, always remember that you grew up in the Heavenly Soul Empire," Xue Xin said. "Until you have the ability to stand on your own, Heavenly Soul will always be your strongest support."

"Without exception."

Huo Yuhao clasped his hands and bowed, saying solemnly, "I understand. Huo Yuhao swears by his martial soul that as long as the Heavenly Soul does not betray him, Huo Yuhao will wholeheartedly protect the Heavenly Soul in the future."

Xuexin smiled with satisfaction, then suddenly squeezed the jade stone and crushed it.

In an instant, a blue light emanated from the jade, forming a complex pattern in front of him and Huo Yuhao.

Mysterious runes flowed, and a blurry figure gradually emerged from the light.

"Xuexin, what is it?"

A low voice came from the figure asking, "Could it be that Shrek Academy people are causing trouble again?"

"Poison Sect Master," Xue Xin said with a smile, pushing Huo Yuhao in front of the figure, "I've discovered an interesting little fellow that I'm sure you'll find interesting."

Upon hearing Xuexin's words, the figure immediately became more solid.

Huo Yuhao then got a clear look at the figure.

He was a bald old man with long, dark green hair.

His face was rosy like a baby's, and his body was full of muscles that contained explosive power. Even if he was just a phantom, people could feel a strong sense of pressure.

"Let the Poison Sect Master see your martial spirit."

Xue Xin patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder: "I believe the Poison Sect Master will definitely like you."

Huo Yuhao did as he was told.

Ten minutes later.

A huge, dark green meteor streaked across the sky above Tiandou City with lightning speed before crashing down toward Dean Di'ao's office.

"Xuexin!"

Poison Undying, panting heavily, shouted urgently, "I've come to pick them up!"
