Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 74 The Marriage Plan Between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect

Afterwards, Vina accompanied Du Busi on a stroll through the Heavenly Soul Empire's palace, asking him about his purpose in personally leading so many powerful members of the Body Sect out in full force.

"Grandpa, you brought all the elders from the sect this time, it can't be just because of me, right?"

"Besides wanting to personally check on your situation, I have an even more important purpose in coming out of seclusion this time." Poison Immortal laughed, his gaze becoming sharp and domineering.

"The genius from the Ye family of Tianling City who awakened the dark attribute martial soul has been found and is currently at Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy is still the same as always, but even if that Dragon God Douluo were still alive, it wouldn't stop our sect from bringing our heir back to the sect."

"The Heir?!" Vina stared in shock, her voice trembling.

"You mean he can accept the sect's inheritance seed?" Only the core members of the Body Sect know what the inheritance seed means to the Body Sect. One must have the potential for a second awakening of a Gold-level Body Martial Soul to have the possibility of accepting the Body Sect's inheritance seed.

Neither Vina nor Long Aotian possessed this kind of potential.

Poison Undying puffed out his chest smugly and said meaningfully, "Vina, everything in this world has two sides. Although we Soul Masters with our own Spirit Martial Souls are naturally gifted, it's almost impossible for us to control the abilities of various attributes like other Soul Masters. Even my innate poison isn't within the scope of elemental abilities. Unless you're a Soul Master with a Spirit attribute like yourself, but the Spirit attribute is ultimately different from other elemental attributes. After all, every Soul Master with considerable strength possesses powerful spiritual energy, which is ultimately an ability inherent to the Soul Master."

“That little guy from the Ye family not only possesses a physical martial soul, but also has dark attribute abilities. So there’s only one possibility: he must have an extremely rare, ultimate attribute.” Poison Undying raised his head with a confident tone and looked south.

"Only abilities with ultimate attributes can combine with the sect's divinely favored martial soul, because the two are at a similar level and can achieve a delicate balance."

“Ultimate attributes, original martial soul…” Vina couldn’t help but slightly part her red lips.

"Is it really possible for such top-tier talent to appear in the same person?"

"Haha! After I take you to the far north and successfully hunt down an Ice Jade Scorpion with ten thousand years of cultivation, won't you also possess such talent?" Poisonous Undying was in high spirits, envisioning the glorious future of the Body Sect. Ten thousand years ago, the Tang Sect was at its zenith, and now this is the era of their Body Sect!
“Vina, your godfather and your father were just discussing the matter between you and that little guy from the Ye family.”

"Grandpa, please speak." Meeting Poison Undying's gaze, Vina, as a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, already had some guesses in her heart. But ever since she was born into the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, she had anticipated that this day would come, and the education she received from childhood was different from that of ordinary people, so she didn't have much of a sense of rejection.

On the contrary, in her mind, her future partner's talents and potential are far more important than anything else.

Looking at the calm and gentleness in Vina's eyes, Poison Undying finally let go of his burden and sighed softly.

"Your father and I hope that after we bring that little one back to the sect, we will arrange your marriage. With your talents, your offspring are very likely to inherit your martial spirits, and may even ensure that the lineage of the sect will continue for generations. Your offspring will become the successors of both the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect, and will be even more inseparable from each other."

“Grandpa, as a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire and a disciple of the Body Sect, this is a responsibility I should shoulder.” Vina smiled, this was entirely her heartfelt thought.

"Moreover, I believe that feelings can be cultivated. As long as I treat him sincerely and meet all his needs, why should he resist?"

Compared to the methods of a certain Tang princess, this Princess Vina was far more skillful. Sincerity and genuine affection are always the ultimate weapons.

"It's good that you think that way." Poison Undying nodded with satisfaction.

"And then there's Aotian, he'll also be engaged to Muxue of the Snow Demon Sect. With the Sun Moon Empire as a formidable enemy, and our Heavenly Soul Empire bearing the brunt, we must unite closely to resist this external foe." "Sister Muxue?" Vina was both surprised and yet felt it made perfect sense.

Although Mu Xue is the heir of the Snow Demon Sect, she also has half of the blood of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family flowing through her veins. Her true identity is actually her cousin.

Shrek Academy was clearly unaware of the Body Sect's plans.

During the three months of intensive study, each freshman settled into a stable life at Shrek Academy.

Even Huo Yuhao is steadily improving every day.

At Tang Ya's suggestion, he started selling grilled fish outside Shrek City after his classes each day to earn a living. Because the grilled fish tasted quite good, he gained some fame in the foreign language department.

"Classes this afternoon are canceled." The bell rang, and Nan Ruyao, clutching her lesson plan, rushed into the classroom of Freshman Class 7. Standing behind the podium, she took a moment to catch her breath before addressing the class.

"I have two announcements to make. First, starting tomorrow is the most important upgrade assessment, and your results will determine whether you can continue to train in the academy. The other is to determine your future training direction. The freshman assessment will be conducted in a three-on-three team battle, and each team can only have one power-attack type Soul Master. Only after you have chosen your training direction can I better group you up."

"I'm handing out the forms now. Fill them out and then hand them back to me." Every class of this year's freshmen did this all afternoon.

The rules for the freshman assessment are simple, only restricting the use of soul tools and malicious harm to opponents. Each team will play ten round-robin matches by drawing lots, and the final ranking will be based on points. However, only half of the teams will be able to stay, meaning that nearly half of the participants will be eliminated.

Teams ranked in the top 64 will advance to the knockout stage. The top four teams in the knockout stage will receive generous rewards, especially the champion team.

After Nan Ruyao explained these details to everyone, the grouping process officially began.

"The first group: Ye Xixuan, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo." The three of them, Ye Xixuan, who were sitting together, stood up almost simultaneously.

Unlike Ye Xixuan's calm expression, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's eyes clearly showed a hint of shyness, but more so, joy.

"Ye Xixuan's soul power cultivation is the strongest in the class, while Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo's abilities are more compatible. You two are considered our class's seed team," Nan Ruyao said expectantly. "Whether the teacher can get a promotion and a raise depends entirely on your performance in the promotion assessment!"

"Teacher Nan, are you confused again? Is it appropriate to say such things in front of students?" Many students couldn't help but complain in public, but no one raised any questions.

Under Nan Ruyao's relatively relaxed teaching style, the atmosphere in the class was quite good, and there was a burst of laughter. Moreover, participating in the freshman assessment as a team meant that strong teams should naturally cooperate.

Nan Ruyao smiled somewhat innocently and continued dividing the group.

"The second group consists of Huang Chutian, Ye Mochen, and Ye Moyang."

"The third group……"
