Wena accepted the three soul bones without ceremony.
This was to express her recognition of Yuwentuo. At this point, being overly modest would actually hinder the relationship between them. It would be better to simply give them back to Yuwentuo if he needed to absorb any of them later.
"Princess, there's one thing I must remind you. That Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone has an absorption condition: one must possess an attribute close to ultimate ice to absorb it, otherwise, they will suffer a backlash from the ultimate ice within the soul bone," Yuwentuo said.
Wena nodded, "Thank you for the reminder. We will be careful."
She had originally intended to use this soul bone for herself, as it wasn't suitable for Yuwentuo. Conveniently, her first martial soul was the ice-attributed Snow Lotus. Furthermore, when this Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone was auctioned, it was stated that its soul skill was fixed, meaning that no matter who obtained it, the soul skill gained would be the super-strong ice-attribute attack skill, Ice Burst.
Thus, it could compensate for her weakness in physical attack power.
She just hadn't expected the absorption requirements for this Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone to be so high. Although her Snow Lotus had an ice attribute, it was healing-type. The power of its ice was still miles away from ultimate ice.
"Excellent, Brother Yuwen. You've given our Body Sect such a grand gift upon your arrival. From now on, our Body Sect will definitely treat you well. I, as the Body Sect's successor, guarantee you that what you experienced at Shrek Academy will absolutely not happen in the Body Sect. We will do our utmost to nurture you. If you become stronger and more outstanding than me in the future, I would willingly give up my position as Sect Master to you." Long Aotian clapped Yuwentuo's shoulder and said with a hearty laugh.
Long Aotian's palm was heavy and powerful, just like the man himself.
These words should have come from Immortal Doubt, the Sect Master, but the Body Sect's actions were always unconventional. Rules, etiquette—they simply didn't care about these things.
Yuwentuo looked at Immortal Doubt, Golden Peng, Long Aotian, and Wena, the four most crucial people of the Body Sect, and said solemnly, "Sirs, Yuwentuo is eternally grateful for your help. I, Yuwentuo, will never regret joining the Body Sect, but I do not covet the position of Sect Master."
"Haha, little Yuwen, do you think Aotian is testing you?" Golden Peng laughed. "Then you're overthinking it. Our Body Sect is different from the imperial family; there's none of that infighting. If you become stronger than Aotian in the future, Aotian probably wouldn't even have the face to be Sect Master himself."
"Senior, it's not like that." Yuwentuo shook his head. Of course, he knew Long Aotian didn't have such ulterior motives. It was just that he had his own goals.
"Sect Master, I presume you've guessed that I already have a master."
Immortal Doubt nodded, "These past few days, I've carefully studied that set of 'Spirit Calming Secret Tome'. Such a supreme body refining divine technique, more exquisite than our Body Sect's secret arts, definitely cannot be created by a child like you. This must have been given to you by your master, right? Otherwise, I would have long ago proposed taking you as my disciple."
"Yes, my master shares my name. He is no longer in this world, and I have inherited his name. Therefore, I wish to carry on what he passed down to me and make it flourish. In the future, when I have achieved mastery, may the Sect Master permit me to establish my own sect? This... shouldn't be considered betraying the sect, right?" Yuwentuo asked tentatively.
Immortal Doubt froze, then burst into laughter, "Haha, so that's it. Good kid, you have ambition and respect your master. What's wrong with that? If you were to join another sect, our Body Sect would absolutely not allow it. But if you achieve mastery within the Body Sect and establish your own sect as an elite disciple of the Body Sect, it would actually bring fame to our sect. Wasn't Sea God Tang San also from the Clear Sky Sect, yet he established his own sect, the Tang Sect, outside? The world recognized him both as a Clear Sky disciple and as the master of the Tang Sect. There's also a small sect within the Heavenly Soul Empire called the Snow Devil Sect, which was actually established by a disciple of our sect. Just remember one thing: as long as you always acknowledge your identity as a Body Sect disciple, the Body Sect will always support you."
Yuwentuo smiled, "Thank you, Sect Master."
It was precisely because of Tang San's precedent that Yuwentuo had the confidence to make this request.
He hadn't expected that someone within the Body Sect had already done this—the Snow Devil Sect. No wonder in the later stages, they would use the identity of the Snow Devil Sect to hide the Body Sect and participate in the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament.
"Hmph, talking about this makes me angry." Golden Peng raged, "That good-for-nothing, he thought he could establish his own sect after graduating, but after all these years, the sect is still lukewarm. Besides within the Heavenly Soul Empire, who else has heard of the Snow Devil Sect? He's practically disgraced the Body Sect! Little Yuwen, remember this: if you're going to establish a sect, then make sure you make a name for it. Don't be all talk and no action, otherwise, if word gets out, people will think that's the standard for elite Body Sect disciples after graduation, and that would be too shameful."
No wonder Golden Peng was so angry; the person who established the Snow Devil Sect was his own disciple.
He possessed the Body Martial Soul, Snow Devil Body, a powerful physique similar to the legendary Titan Snow Demon, naturally imbued with ice attributes and considerable power.
However, despite his powerful martial soul, he himself was mediocre. He had yet to advance to Title Douluo and remained stuck in the late stages of Soul Douluo.
A sect without a Title Douluo in charge was truly difficult to develop, filling Golden Peng with the fury of disappointment.
"Then this matter is settled. After we return, we will hold your initiation ceremony. And one more thing, Nana, you tell Brother Yuwen," Long Aotian said.
Wena responded, "Xiao Tuo, during this period, we discovered the strange attitude of the three great empires towards you. So, we thoroughly investigated your background. It's so complex that I'm somewhat hesitant to believe it. Do you... want to hear it?"
Hearing this, Yuwentuo fell silent. Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Xiao spoke up, "Sister Nana, I want to know. Can you tell me?"
She knew that while Yuwentuo genuinely didn't care about his parents, he definitely still wanted to know.
Since he felt awkward, as his girlfriend, she would speak on his behalf.
She also wanted to know who her future father-in-law and mother-in-law were, and why they abandoned Yuwentuo.
"Actually, this is related to the current continental situation, Xiao Tuo. In your opinion, if we were to rank the great empires by strength, how would you arrange them?" Wena intended to test Yuwentuo and hear his insights on the current continental situation.
"From strongest to weakest: Sun Moon, Star Luo, Heavenly Soul, Dou Ling!" Yuwentuo replied.
Wena nodded, "Precisely. The Sun Moon Empire, capable of rivaling three nations, is undoubtedly the strongest country. If not for the existence of Shrek Academy, our three great nations would have long ago been annihilated by the Sun Moon. Second is the Star Luo Empire.
They have a complete inheritance of ten thousand years of foundation, numerous strong experts in their Hall of Worship, and in recent years, their soul tool development has also achieved great success. The Star Luo army stationed at the Mingdou Mountain Range is the main frontline force resisting the Sun Moon Empire on the Douluo Continent."
