Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 212 Preparation
"Yuhao, what did you say? You've mastered a method to make someone's martial soul awaken a second time?" Jing Hongchen was somewhat incredulous, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels.

In this world, only the Body Sect has mastered the method to awaken the Body Martial Soul a second time.

As for other sects, academies, and empires, none of them have mastered the method of allowing a martial soul to awaken a second time. As far as Jing Hongchen knows, even Shrek Academy seems to be unable to awaken a person's martial soul a second time.

Secondary awakening is the evolution of a martial soul, a fundamental transformation of the martial soul, a fact that no one can deny. However, achieving secondary awakening of a martial soul is by no means a simple matter.

The Sun Moon Empire also researched the second awakening of martial souls in order to make the soul masters within the empire stronger, but it ended in failure. The root cause was that the difficulty of the second awakening of martial souls was simply too high.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao did not deny it. "However, this method carries a certain risk of death, so we must bring a few strong people to guard the area. If any problems arise, we can immediately launch a rescue operation."

Even when Tang Wulin from Douluo Continent III was practicing the Deep Sea Training Method, Mu Ye, the sect leader of the Body Sect, was watching over him. If things went wrong, Mu Ye would immediately take action to bring Tang Wulin out of the sea.

Jing Hongchen paced back and forth excitedly. He felt that Huo Yuhao had brought him too many surprises. He had lived in the Sun Moon Empire for many years, but this was the first time he had met someone who had made such a great contribution to the Sun Moon Empire.

He put his hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder and patted him: "Yuhao, don't worry, there's no problem with this."

"If it weren't for the fact that no gods have appeared on the Douluo Continent for many years, I would even think that you are a god descended to earth. If a portion of my Sun Moon Empire could undergo a second awakening of their martial souls, the Sun Moon Empire's national strength would be further enhanced."

Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, also had a look of admiration in her eyes. She agreed with her grandfather's statement. After all, what Huo Yuhao had done was truly outstanding. Even Tang San, who was constantly praised by Shrek Academy, did not make as many contributions to the Soul Master world as Huo Yuhao. After all, all Shrek Academy could boast about was that Tang San had dealt with the Spirit Hall and maintained peace in the Soul Master world.

'If Xiao finds out about this, he'll probably be hit hard again. Junior Brother Yuhao is the number one genius of Sun Moon Academy, while Xiao is self-proclaimed as the second-best. But the gap between the number one and number two geniuses hasn't narrowed with time; instead, it's widened further.'
Huo Yuhao looked at Jing Hongchen and Meng Hongchen and said, "However, this method of awakening a martial soul a second time will bring great pain to people. This is different from absorbing a soul spirit. Therefore, if your willpower is not strong, then there is no need to try to awaken your martial soul a second time. Otherwise, it will only add trouble."

The pressure of the deep sea is indeed immense. This training method, which stimulates the potential of Soul Masters, becomes increasingly painful as one progresses. Therefore, it requires not only strong physical fitness but also exceptional willpower.

Even though Mu Ye, the sect leader of the Body Sect in Dou San, completed the second awakening of his martial soul in twenty-eight days, he still vividly remembered the painful experience of this deep-sea training method.

"Pain?" Jing Hongchen hesitated, then glanced at Meng Hongchen, thinking to himself, 'I wonder if Xiao Meng and Xiao Xiao can endure the immense pain. If they can't, wouldn't that be a huge loss?'

Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen looked at Meng Hongchen with hopeful eyes: "Xiao Meng, you heard what Yuhao said, so do you want to participate in the second awakening of your martial soul?"

With a smile on her face, Meng Hongchen said, "Grandpa, of course I want to participate in this plan. If my martial soul can awaken a second time, my strength will definitely increase. The next Soul Battle Tournament will be held in the Sun Moon Empire. I hope that our Sun Moon Empire can defend its championship title instead of handing the championship position to Shrek Academy."

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief. He actually hoped that Meng Hongchen would participate in the second awakening of her martial soul, after all, the second awakening of a martial soul was of great significance to a soul master. Jing Hongchen promised Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, I will go and gather the people now. After the gathering is complete, we will set off. Don't worry, I will carefully select them based on their usual performance. As for Xiao and the others, I will also gather them back temporarily as soon as possible."

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "This efficiency is too slow, Dean. I can use spatial power to quickly bring Xiao Hongchen and the others back."

"What! Spatial power? This..." Jing Hongchen's face showed surprise. Then he thought about it and realized that Huo Yuhao could even create something like a "demi-plane of the dead," so it seemed normal for him to use spatial power.

"Alright, Dean, go and gather the people. I'll be back in a bit. Oh, Dean, remember to invite Elder Kong along. I want to see if Elder Kong can awaken his martial spirit a second time."

Shrek Academy.

With his face bruised and swollen, Xiao Hongchen looked at the shimmering Sea God Lake, his hands behind his back, and said indifferently, "Lin Xi, in my opinion, the geniuses of Shrek Academy are nothing special. They are no match for me in a one-on-one fight, and they even resort to a series of battles."

Otherwise, I would never have lost to them, those shameless bastards! One day, I will shatter Shrek Academy's championship dream on the Soul Fighting Tournament stage.

Beside him, Lin Xi, whose face bore bruises, muttered, "Xiao Hongchen, are you out of your mind? It's one thing for you to lead us Sun Moon exchange students and Shrek Academy students in a Soul Fighting Tournament, after all, it's our way of getting to know them better."

The problem is, why did you say things that humiliated the students of Shrek Academy, making them unwilling to treat our injuries? Even though these are just superficial wounds and not fatal, does it look good to have a face full of injuries?

Xiao Hongchen's face darkened: "What do you mean by humiliating them? I'm not that tasteless. I'm just telling the truth. Is that wrong? Shrek Academy was caught cheating, so they withdrew from the competition! Can't people even talk about what they did wrong?"
Who would have thought that the students of Shrek Academy would be so enraged by this incident, resorting to a relentless barrage of attacks! They've completely lost all sense of shame!

Xiao Hongchen was also speechless. He had only pointed out the Shrek Academy cheating incident during the Soul Battle Tournament, hoping to cause his opponents to have a violent emotional fluctuation and use more methods so that he could collect more information about Shrek Academy's soul masters. However, he did not expect that the quality of Shrek Academy's students would suddenly drop, and they would directly engage in various kinds of tag-team battles.

Even if he proclaimed himself the second genius of the sun and moon, he couldn't withstand the relentless onslaught.

Lin Xi took a deep breath: "Xiao Hongchen, even if it's true, you shouldn't say it. After all, we're on someone else's turf."

Although Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are bound by an agreement to guarantee our safety, they can still pull strings for us in minor matters.
