Chapter 118 Seeking the Secret Method of the Body Sect

As soon as the voice fell, the whole place fell into a dead silence. After a while of silence, Du Bu Si actually looked at Lin Dong and smiled faintly:
“Haha, interesting boy, do you want to come to my Body Sect? You should have seen that their strength is far superior to that of their peers. As long as you are willing to follow me, we admit defeat in today’s match.”

Before everyone recovered from their shock, they were shocked beyond words by Du Bushi’s words. Is this competition a toy for you big shots? That is a ninth-level soul guide that no one in the Three Kingdoms of Douluo has, and also the extremely rare soul bone.

These are resources that everyone dreams of, but he ignored them so lightly, just to poach a young man with arrogant words.

Lin Dong was just dissolving a half-finished martial soul fusion technique. Was he really worthy of such favor from the leader of the Body Sect?

Du Bu Si’s behavior was too difficult to understand. Even though he had just been rejected, he still spoke without caring about his dignity, so that Lin Dong’s arrogant words were ignored by everyone.

Vina’s eyes were hesitant, and she seemed to want to persuade them. After all, considering the degree to which the Body Sect rejected soul guides, those soul guide rewards could most likely be given to the Heavenly Soul Empire for research.

This is a pile of inestimable treasures. How can we give it up just because of Lin Dong? After hesitating for a while, he said timidly:

“Master, even if we win the competition, won’t he still be able to join the sect?”

Du Bu Si shook his head calmly and stared at Lin Dong:

“How have you considered it, kid? This is a favor from me. You should know how powerful the body spirit will be once it awakens for the second time. Only my body sect possesses that secret method. Don’t miss it.”

Looking at Lin Dong who had fallen into silence, Ye Yulin wanted to speak anxiously, but seeing that Jing Hongchen hadn’t spoken yet, he had to suppress his inner panic, even though in his opinion Lin Dong was not worth such a high price.

But if Lin Dong agrees, doesn’t it mean that they, the Sun and Moon Sect, are no match for the Body Sect? Whether they try to stop them or not, if they really fight with those lunatics from the Body Sect, they won’t gain any benefit at all.

Jing Hongchen hesitated for a while before looking at Lin Dong with a somewhat wimpy look and said in a conflicted tone:

“Well, Lin Dong, if you want to go, then go ahead. Although you have been in the academy for so long, you are a man who can accomplish great things. You cannot be held back by this small Sun-Moon Empire.”

Du Bu Si looked at Jing Hongchen’s appearance and cursed in his heart: Oh no, this damn old fox is actually playing the emotional card!

However, he was not worried. In his opinion, Lin Dong was already facing a losing situation, and no one could refuse his conditions.

Meng Hongchen was anxious and wanted to persuade him. Lin Dong, who had been silent all this time, could not help but smile bitterly and said:
“Dean, since you’ve said so, if I, Lin Dong, abandon the academy, wouldn’t I be a heartless and heartless beast?”

Although Lin Dong had seen through Jing Hongchen’s intentions, the academy was different from the sect. Once he joined the sect, he would be bound to have many ties. Moreover, who said that one had to become a disciple to obtain the secret method of the Body Sect?
Looking at Du Bu Si, he clasped his fists with a smile on his face:

“Senior, if I agree, you won’t worry that I will join other forces for other things in the future?”

Seeing Du Bu Si moving his lips in a noncommittal manner, Lin Dong spoke again and added:

“I am indeed very interested in the secret method of the body that the senior mentioned. How about we make a bet?”

Du Bu Si glanced at him, seeming a little unhappy because he was rejected twice in a row: “What bet?”

“In your opinion, I currently have no chance of winning this match. Why don’t we bet on the outcome of this match? If I win, the secret technique belongs to me. If I lose, I’ll go with you.”

After hearing this, Jing Hongchen couldn’t help but persuade:
“Don’t be impulsive, Lin Dong. I will definitely find a way to get that secret method for you, Lin Dong. Don’t use that method again.”

Seeing Jing Hongchen’s slightly worried look, Lin Dong patted Jing Hongchen’s palm and whispered:

“If I don’t do this, the only way for us to get the secret method is probably to destroy the Body Sect. This is obviously impossible to achieve in a short period of time. Don’t worry, Dean. I know my limits and will not use that method unless it is absolutely necessary.”

Then he turned his gaze to the hesitant Du Bu Si and chuckled:

“What do you think, Senior?”

Du Bu Si narrowed his eyes into a narrow arc. After a moment, he looked at Lin Dong with interest and said, “You mean, winning three games in a row?”

Under his sharp gaze, Lin Dong calmly hummed and replied, “Of course.”

In an instant, all kinds of gazes in the crowd rushed to the Sun and Moon people including Lin Dong, including smug joy, contempt, ridicule, sympathy, resentment, and so on.

In their opinion, Lin Dong was just an arrogant boy who didn’t know his place. Riyue was also unlucky to be implicated by this boy and to lose both people and treasures. However, as a hostile country, they were naturally happy to see this.

Ye Yulin and some of the people from Riyue have begun to look at Lin Dong with strange eyes. They even suspect that Lin Dong made this losing bet in order to make himself leave in a decent manner. Isn’t this just giving a reward to the other party?
Jin Peng and another Super Douluo from the Body Sect were instantly delighted. They didn’t expect that this kid would be so rampant. This time, their Body Sect is going to make a lot of money!
Another Super Douluo looked at Jin Peng, cupped his hands and said with a hearty smile:
“Damn it, your good disciple has made another great contribution. I’m afraid the position of the Punishment Elder will definitely belong to your good disciple.”

Jin Peng did not hide his inner joy, he looked at Du Bu Si and patted his chest:
“Master, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and agree. This is a good thing that can kill two birds with one stone. Why are you still hesitating?”

Du Bu Si nodded, and quickly thought in his heart that even if Lin Dong could defeat Chen Cheng and Chen Tong, his soul power would be exhausted by then.

Jin Ke, who had one foot in the realm of Soul Saint, would naturally not be surprised when facing Lin Dong, who was at the end of his rope.

Since he could capture Lin Dong and Ri Yue’s generous reward at the same time, the risk was worth taking. He really didn’t believe that Lin Dong could use the move he just made several times in a row.

He nodded heavily under Lin Dong’s calm gaze, but when he noticed his calm face, he suddenly felt a little worried and couldn’t help but urged:

“In that case, let’s get started. Chen Cheng, you go ahead.”

Chen Cheng pursed his lips excitedly: “It’s the Sect Master!” This opportunity to make a contribution to the sect was finally given to Chen Cheng. He couldn’t wait to step onto the stage and raised his chin towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong took a step forward, and suddenly a monstrous evil spirit emanated from his body. Chen Cheng’s eyes suddenly shrank. This kid has such a strong evil spirit. I didn’t feel it during the team competition just now. What’s more, how can his aura recover so quickly! His eyes flickered slightly, and he gritted his teeth. How could I, a genius of the Body Sect with a silver-level awakening Body Martial Soul, lose to you, a kid with the cultivation level of Soul Venerable! A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he rushed towards Lin Dong to kill him.

Du Bu Si in the audience also noticed Lin Dong’s changes. This kid’s recovery ability seemed to be not simple, but it shouldn’t affect the overall situation too much.

He glanced at Jing Hongchen out of the corner of his eye and caught the worry between his brows that could not be faked. He couldn’t help but feel relieved. Since Jing Hongchen was not very sure, then he had nothing to worry about.

But soon, his heart, which had just been at ease, was suddenly suspended again. Facing Chen Cheng, who wanted to test and humiliate Lin Dong at the beginning, Lin Dong did not intend to hold back at all.

A brilliant light burst out from his body, and his momentum suddenly increased several times compared to before. He moved his body and flashed out, leaving a series of blurry afterimages wherever his body passed!
Moreover, what shocked people the most was that with the appearance of each afterimage, the fluctuations of soul power surging out of Lin Dong’s body became more violent!
In an instant, Lin Dong’s figure appeared in front of Chen Cheng, who had a fierce look in his eyes, and behind him, nine afterimages emerged.

At the same time, the fluctuations of soul power were extremely violent. Above Lin Dong’s fists, the powerful soul power actually emitted a dark luster like crystal.

“Nine Breaks of Purple Shadow!”

The soul power surged in Lin Dong’s eyes, and he threw a punch. Suddenly, the soul power with devouring attributes in his body continued to surge out.

Feeling Lin Dong’s terrifying aura, Chen Cheng’s original intention to test it out disappeared instantly. Why didn’t this kid’s soul ring light up when he released his soul skills? The most damning thing was, why did he use his ultimate move right at the start!
Feeling that Lin Dong’s move was not simple, he gritted his teeth and urged the soul power in his body to condense in his left arm. The green light surged and collided fiercely with Lin Dong’s fists.

When the two collided, Lin Dong did not retreat at all. As the speed of his punch increased, the power in his fist became more fierce, and Lin Dong’s momentum also reached its peak, suppressing Chen Cheng tightly.

Every time Chen Cheng and Lin Dong clashed, he couldn’t help but feel bitter. This kid’s fist was too weird, and it felt like his soul power was being absorbed by him.

After throwing out eight punches in a row, Lin Dong’s ninth punch was already extremely powerful. Three different mysterious energies attached to his fists, and with an astonishing murderous aura, he slammed down towards the grim-looking Chen Cheng.

The moment this punch hit Chen Cheng’s left arm, he was knocked back dozens of meters and flew out of the ring, with blood spurting out of his mouth.

The defense of his left arm, which was comparable to that of a level 62 Soul Emperor, was broken so easily by Lin Dong. Looking at the foot that was stepping outside the ring, Chen Cheng pulled the corner of his mouth bitterly.

He felt so frustrated in this fight! Why is the evil spirit on this kid so strong? And shouldn’t he test him first in the match, and then both sides release their soul skills?
Not only did he use his trump card right from the start, but his fighting style was so desperate that only by fighting with him in person could you know how weird this guy is.

I was just careless for a moment, and he took advantage of the opportunity to knock me out of the ring. I didn’t even have the chance to use my trump card!

He is really suffering in silence now. He was not like this in the team competition. Except when he was forced to take on the spirit fusion technique, he was hiding the rest of the time. Why did he become a different person when it came to the individual competition?

Shouldn’t the gun-shaped soul guide be his trump card? Why did he just use his fists? Although I know that this kid is strong physically, how could he be so strong?
How could a Soul Master possess a body stronger than mine? Coupled with the power of that mysterious skill, I really suffered a great loss because of my carelessness!
While he was cursing in his heart, the crowd watching had already fallen into endless shock. What just happened?
A genius Soul King of level 59 who was among the top three of his peers in the Body Sect was killed in one move by a Soul Lord?
They couldn’t even believe their own eyes, even though Lin Dong behaved quite…smoothly in the team and was very good at judging the situation.

But the fighting power he displayed was only with the help of Xiao Hongchen and his sister, and he was barely able to resist the martial soul fusion technique. How could he suddenly burst out with such power?

What surprised everyone even more was that in the team competition, Lin Dong completely relied on the peculiarity of the soul guide and adopted the most energy-saving method to fight, but when it came to the individual competition, he fought desperately as soon as he met the opponent.

They had never seen anyone who could launch an attack with power comparable to that of a ten thousand year old soul skill without releasing that skill.

The confused audience could only sigh and look at the calm-looking boy with curiosity, and they couldn’t help but look forward to the subsequent battle.

Jing Hongchen finally put down the worry in his heart temporarily. He only used 30% of his soul power to deal with the first opponent. And judging from his posture, he would be able to recover soon, so he could feel more relaxed.

Ye Yulin and the others looked at Lin Dong with more admiration. At least from the battle, they had seen Lin Dong’s attitude and no longer doubted Lin Dong’s motives for the bet.

Lin Dong looked indifferent as he watched Chen Cheng run off the stage in disgrace. He was lost in thought:
He didn’t expect that the low-profile version of Purple Shadow Nine Breaks, which he improved with his soul power, combined with the characteristics of Devouring Ancestral Talisman, would really have an unexpected effect.

Thanks to the opponent’s carelessness, he did not thoroughly investigate his physical strength. His neutral character of “using soul guides to save energy in fighting” in the team competition also successfully confused the opponent.

The effect of using martial arts right from the start was much stronger than expected. Fortunately, it was Chen Cheng who was on the field. If it were the other two meticulous guys, it would definitely not be possible for him to be effective with just one move.

Thanks to Chen Cheng, the following battle would be much easier. While thinking in his mind, he urged the Devouring Ancestral Talisman to restore his soul power.

Feeling the soul power in his body filling up quickly, Lin Dong couldn’t help but laugh. Although his realm was low, it also had an advantage. With the help of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, his recovery speed was much faster than his opponent.

Du Bu Si glared at Chen Cheng who was walking off the stage. Although he thought that Chen Cheng was no match for Lin Dong, he did not expect that he would be killed instantly by Lin Dong. He said in a bad tone:

“Go to the Punishment Hall to receive your punishment this time. If you weren’t so arrogant, you wouldn’t have been killed in one move.”

Chen Cheng nodded with a red face: “Yes!”

Although Du Bu Si was feeling a little depressed, he did not intend to give Lin Dong a chance to rest. He immediately looked at Chen Tong and smiled:
“I’ll leave it to you, Chen Tong. You won’t be too arrogant, right?”

Chen Tong nodded calmly: “Chen Tong will not let the Sect Master down.”

Seeing that he was about to step onto the stage, Chen Cheng quickly reminded him:

“This kid’s body is stronger than mine, and he has no spirit rings when releasing his spirit skills. His spirit power is also very strange, and he can devour part of his opponent’s spirit power. This is all the information I have so far, and I’m leaving it to you.”

Chen Tong hummed and stepped onto the stage with a calm expression. Lin Dong had also recovered to his best condition at this time. A gleam of light suddenly burst out in his eyes, and a strong fighting spirit surged from him.

The moment the two looked at each other, a strong smell of gunpowder instantly filled the entire arena…
