The next morning, Minghui got up early.
After a brief stretch and breakfast, he began learning the Body Sect's core manual under the instruction of his teacher, Du Bushi. The secret technique was known as:
"The Mystery of the Body."
"A human anatomy encyclopedia!"
That was Minghui's heartfelt evaluation.
The manual recorded an incredibly detailed breakdown of the human body—including the internal organs, skeletal structure, distribution of meridians and blood vessels—everything.
It even came with anatomical sketches so precise that Minghui was both amazed and a bit unsettled. Clearly, someone had done dissections before. As for Minghui, this was his first exposure to anything like it.
From this foundation, the Body Sect developed a top-tier meditation method, complemented by a stretching routine designed to activate and guide muscles and meridians. The process was simple:
Stretch to activate the organs and speed up blood circulation → Calm the mind for meditation → Reach the best cultivation state.
With long-term practice, not only would the body grow stronger, but meridians would be unblocked, and the full potential of the body would be unlocked.
As for cultivation speed—well, it was definitely faster than his family's methods!
"It might even rival Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill," Minghui thought, genuinely impressed. No wonder the Body Sect, a sect dedicated solely to the study of the human body, could develop something so intricate—perhaps even beyond what Tang San's previous world could achieve.
This was the true foundation of the Body Sect.
With such a foundation, creating this kind of technique felt completely natural.
These people weren't just cultivators—they were scientists cultivating with science!
In addition to all that, The Mystery of the Body also documented known body-type martial souls and their methods for secondary awakening.
That was the focus of his afternoon training.
The principle was fairly straightforward—stimulus training.
After some testing, it was confirmed that Minghui's body martial soul—the Pineal Gland—not only let him perceive the spiritual realm, but also gave him extremely potent mental sensing.
His first soul skill allowed him to simulate things in his mind and project them within a certain range.
Range, of course, represented distance.
He could only create illusions where his spiritual sense could reach.
As a result, his training centered entirely on strengthening his mental perception.
Spiritual pressure drills to enhance mental toughness and danger perception.
Evasion drills to strengthen spatial awareness and dynamic perception.
Combat drills to train real-time awareness, further improve danger sense, and enhance physical conditioning all in one go.
And what did combat training look like?
Lock the door—release the soul beast!
Maximum adrenaline. No fluff, just raw, primal training.
And that wasn't all. As Du Bushi had explained earlier—the body is the foundation of everything. No matter what body-type martial soul you have, you need a solid physical base to unlock its full potential.
Thus, the Body Sect also developed a unique body-tempering method, so detailed that it broke training down to every single bone and muscle.
After all, a body martial soul could be based on any part of the human body.
Du Bushi customized a detailed, targeted schedule just for Minghui—his whole day was now fully packed.
Archery training was scheduled for the morning.
Soul power cultivation and illusion practice were assigned to the evening.
If the moon was out, he'd also practice his Moon Gaze Eyes.
Since absorbing his first soul ring, the internal damage to his organs had improved considerably, allowing him to undergo moderate training. Still, to be safe, Du Bushi kept the intensity controlled and only used ten-year soul beasts in the beginning.
After all, Minghui was still only six years old—and had been chronically ill.
Even at this level, the training was already intense.
Once his condition stabilized, the next step would be the final awakening ceremony, allowing his martial soul to break through its limits and complete a secondary awakening. As for what this ritual involved—Du Bushi didn't say.
He only warned: "Knowing too much ahead of time can disrupt your mental state and backfire."
Minghui didn't question it. He simply focused on completing the training in front of him.
After just a few days, he was thoroughly convinced—and deeply impressed.
"The Body Sect's research into the human body is truly the best on the continent—even Shrek Academy's Mu En would have to admit defeat."
In the original story, Ma Xiaotao once said that the Body Sect's overall strength surpassed even Shrek Academy's.
And Shrek Academy was known as the number one soul master academy on the continent—a place that gathered all the elites.
If the Body Sect surpassed even that?
If it wasn't because of better teaching methods, then it had to be due to some unique advantages.
From Minghui's perspective, after experiencing it firsthand, the Body Sect's mastery over body-type martial soul cultivation—be it teaching or methodology—far surpassed Shrek.
After all, while Shrek was still having new students run laps with weights, Minghui was already training individual muscles.
Now that was professionalism.
They simply weren't on the same level.
"These are the results of generations of devoted research into a single field—something a multi-disciplinary academy like Shrek could never match."
"It's not that Shrek lacks the foundation or capability—it's that they lack an almost fanatical level of focus."
The longer Minghui trained, the more clearly he could sense the gap between the two systems.
But none of that mattered right now.
"Train hard!" That was his only thought.
Having crossed over to this world and awakened twin martial souls, he had no intention of living an ordinary life.
He still planned to one day take revenge on Tang San for blowing him up!
Half a Month Later – Princess Weina Returns
Two weeks later, Princess Weina returned from the Heaven Soul Empire's royal palace to resume training at the sect.
"What?! The Sect Master took in a personal disciple during his trip?" She was shocked when she heard the news from her close friend, Long Aotian.
Even she—born with twin martial souls—had never been accepted as Du Bushi's personal disciple.
"Yeah. Teacher said he's the son of Radiant Wing Douluo. His name is Minghui, and he has twin martial souls too," Long Aotian replied casually.
He preferred close combat, so he had chosen an elder who specialized in hand-to-hand combat as his teacher rather than Du Bushi.
"Twin martial souls…" Weina murmured, then asked, "Aotian-ge, what are his spirits?"
"Pineal Gland and the Radiant Wing Divine Bow," Long Aotian replied.
The fact that someone from the Qing family, known for their hereditary Qingluan Martial Soul, awakened a body-type spirit was already odd. Long Aotian had long suspected that Minghui might have twin spirits.
What he hadn't expected was that the second one would be Radiant Wing Douluo's own martial soul.
To think he had a child at over seventy—it was shocking.
As for why Minghui was sent to the Body Sect—it was no secret that the Radiant Wing Divine Bow had innate flaws. Only here could those be properly managed.
"No wonder…" Weina muttered. Training the body spirit first would indeed help offset the risks from using the Radiant Wing Bow.
"A spiritual-type martial soul enhancing an offensive-type soul tool… it's a perfect combination."
"No wonder even the Sect Master was moved to accept him," she said, genuinely impressed.
Long Aotian nodded slightly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. "I'm really looking forward to seeing how he grows."
"Teacher said Minghui's body spirit gives him immense spiritual perception. If he fully develops it, he'll be able to counter most close-range soul masters."
"And with twin martial souls—once he becomes a Titled Douluo and attaches all his rings—his physical body might rival that of any melee specialist. Even without using his second spirit, he could become one of the continent's strongest."
"Fighting someone like that—what an honor!"
Weina smiled. In her eyes, Long Aotian was a true martial fanatic—pure and focused.
Though they were both still children, his inner pride was no less than any adult's. That was why they became close friends.
Who says girls can't match boys? Even as a princess, she was determined to protect her people—just like her father.
Because of her twin martial spirits, her father had always placed high hopes on her, and she had always worked hard to live up to them.
"Aotian-ge, do you know where Minghui is now?" she asked with a gentle smile.
As a princess of the Heaven Soul Empire, she naturally wanted to make diplomatic contact with a genius like him.
"He should be training right now," Long Aotian said, his eyes lighting up even more.
"Teacher said the Sect Master gave him a very tight schedule, and Minghui's been pushing through without a single complaint."
Excellent!
That's the kind of person worthy of being my rival!
"I see," Weina nodded. "Then I'll wait for when he's free to visit him."
"Oh, one more thing." Long Aotian added quickly.
"There's going to be a sect assembly next month. All disciples have to attend."
He looked serious. "They say it's related to a god. Teacher said the Body Sect will soon establish its own faith."
"God?" Weina was taken aback.
"I don't know the details—Teacher didn't say," Long Aotian shook his head.
"Well, Weina, it's getting late. I should get back to training. Let's talk more next time!"
With that, he waved and strode off confidently.
Weina stood there for a long time, lost in thought.
