—------------------—

In recent years, the Body Sect has been in the news constantly, and this latest information has stirred up a thousand waves.

It was so good it felt unreal.

But soon, Body Sect Master Mu Ye's public speech made the public understand the reason:

The unscrupulous Shrek Academy had forcibly occupied a Secret Manual for ten thousand years. The Body Sect, with the support of the Federation, recovered the Secret Manual. Out of immense gratitude, they decided to make the Secret Manual public to express their thanks to the Federation and their blessings to all Spirit Masters under heaven.

Its content was compiled by the Body Sect Master and his Disciples. All non-Shrek heroes are welcome to study and exchange ideas, and the Body Sect will henceforth establish an outer Sect.

Soon, the Qi and blood Cultivation method from the "Secrets of the Body" appeared on the desks of the Sect Leaders of various renowned forces.

Due to Shrek's negative publicity and the Federation's extreme approval of the Body Sect, intending to establish them as an exemplary model, the Body Sect's reputation quickly resounded throughout the Douluo Continent, even spreading to the other two continents.

Past stories, after being embellished, spread widely, inevitably revealing the true faces of various forces in that real history.

For example, the Body Sect, as the guardian Sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire back then, fought until its Sect Master died in battle and young Geniuses like the Young Sect Master were all wiped out. They were truly loyal to the core, forming a stark contrast with a certain Academy that 'shouted slogans to shake the heavens, but surrendered when it came to action'.

Another example was their warm-hearted act of rushing to Shrek's aid during a beast tide, despite their long-standing grudges. The tragic story of Sect Master Du Busi entrusting his orphan to Spirit Ice Douluo, enabling her to complete three Awakenings only to be cruelly betrayed, quickly caused a strong reaction.

Shrek, aren't you bullying honest people?!

Nearly a year later, Shrek Academy was once again inundated with negative articles, pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

The day after the public opinion fermented, Cai Yue'er, the Dean of Shrek's Outer Court and an elder of Sea God's Pavilion, came forward to respond:

"This is a historical regret, an oversight by our predecessors, and it has nothing to do with us. We hope the public remains rational and calm, and we also hope the Body Sect does not attribute the mistakes of their predecessors to us."

These words, clearly shifting blame, quickly aroused strong dissatisfaction. A massive number of people, centered in Mingdu, organized protest marches, openly expressing their contempt for Shrek's actions.

What do you mean historical responsibility should not be pursued, and past mistakes cannot be attributed to you? Before the Federation intervened, we didn't see you spontaneously return it out of a guilty conscience!

Since we can't blame you for past mistakes, then it's also fine for us to take to the streets to curse you and boycott your economic trade. If you pursue accountability later, you'll be pursuing our past selves!

The failed public relations led to increased pressure. Ya Li, who had an excellent image, was forced to come forward, stating that "Shrek and the Body Sect were close comrades ten thousand years ago, and Shrek is willing to negotiate with the contemporary Body Sect Master to offer certain compensation."

Originally, Shrek wouldn't care about such things, but the current situation was special, and Shrek had no choice—

Feng Zaixing had timed it perfectly. Shrek enrolled new students every three years, and the enrollment period was approaching. Damaging their reputation now would definitely affect the quality of Shrek's new batch of students.

If this continued, their Foundation would be ruined.

Mu Ye came forward and called out from afar: "Historically, we had a close relationship, so compensation is not necessary."

The vast public uproar began to subside with this statement. Some people pondered its meaning, each with their own thoughts.

The Body Sect was ultimately in decline, not even daring to ask for a bit of compensation—this was the thought of most people...

On the Angelic Altar in the clouds, Feng Zaixing completed his final sacred fire purification. Countless golden light particles merged, transforming into a soft halo, concentrating on the six pure white wings.

"Boom—"

At that instant, Feng Zaixing's dark hair glowed golden, and a low roar erupted from him, like a melodious horn guiding warriors to charge.

"The Angel Martial Soul is complete."

Le Zhengyang slowly smiled, a hint of fatigue on his face.

The halo covering the face of the Angelic phantom slowly dissipated, revealing its true appearance, and the old man's pupils instantly contracted.

"How... is it his own likeness?" Le Zhengyang looked surprised.

The Angelic light figure was tens of meters tall, with six wings spread, sacred and majestic.

However, unlike the feminized appearance of other Angels, the face of the Angel behind Feng Zaixing bore a ninety percent resemblance to him.

The only difference was that Feng Zaixing's face was youthful, while the Angel, in the form of a young man, had a mature appearance, as handsome as jade, like an adult Feng Zaixing.

This situation was unprecedented in history.

"Buzz buzz—"

The Angel God Sword vibrated, and circles of golden fire waves rippled out, as if responding to a summons.

The flowing halo converged and then shot out, enveloping Feng Zaixing.

In an instant, the three pitch-black ten-thousand-year spirit rings were covered with a golden glow, as if some change was occurring.

"Awoo~"

The Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger leaped out, its amber eyes filled with scrutiny, roaring to stir the surrounding winds and clouds.

A new little brother was coming to eat in its territory. Was he not even going to pay respects?

Its entrepreneurial path collapsed in life, and after death, it still had to fight against the heavens; Tiger King Lord, majestic and awe-inspiring, was about to welcome his first subject.

In mid-air, the floating halos merged, condensing into a delicate little Angel. She lazily stretched the wings on her back and landed on the shoulder of the Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger.

She was only half a foot tall, with plump, fair cheeks, three pairs of illusory white wings on her back, and a golden halo above her head, as if she had just woken up.

The Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger glanced at her, and its tiger eyes immediately twitched—this was another being with divinity.

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, only they and the True Dragon Clan had divinity. Now, following Feng Zaixing, divine beings appeared one after another, which was simply absurd!

But, how mighty was its Tiger King Lord! It immediately expressed its protest in the universal language of Spirit souls:

"Awoo~ Awoo— Little one, my shoulder is not a place for you to stand..."

"Big Tiger, you're so beautiful and look so powerful. Baby likes you so much."

The little Angel looked up and met the giant tiger's gaze, her bright eyes filled with joy.

The Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger narrowed its eyes, and its tail involuntarily swayed:

"Awoo— Baby, how can you speak human language as soon as you are born?"

"I don't know. Baby has been sleeping in that big sword all this time. It seems I was born knowing how."

The little Angel pulled at her fingers and smacked her little mouth.

"Let me explain this. All the Legacy Spirit souls in our family have the ability to speak," Le Zhengyang explained with a smile, his tone proud.

The Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger lifted its head, letting out a questioning roar: "Awoo??"

Feng Zaixing descended from the air and translated: "Heavenly Saint says her divinity is very strong and asks if all our Legacy Spirit souls are as powerful as her?"

"This..."

Le Zhengyang looked at the little Angel who was reaching out her small hand to stroke the tiger's fur, her babbling quickly making the Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger forget its aspirations. A hint of surprise also flashed in his eyes.

"She is different from the little Angels of our clansmen. Theirs all have two wings; hers has six, though very illusory."

"My little Angel has far more energy than her, but in terms of divinity, it seems to be a step behind..."

Hearing this, Feng Zaixing chuckled, "Could it be that because of my martial soul, I received special treatment?"

"That's the only explanation." Le Zhengyang pondered for a moment, then asked seriously:

"What abilities has she brought you? Or what changes have you experienced after fusing with her?"

Feng Zaixing closed his eyes to sense, and quickly replied: "Closeness. Light and fire elements are more intimate with me, my mental force has greatly improved, and also..."

The halo of the Angelic Domain appeared at his feet, spreading outwards at an incredible speed.

"The range of my innate Domain has expanded; a hundred-meter radius is now within my control."

"Swish—"

Le Zhengyang flashed in front of Feng Zaixing, extended his finger to Feng Zaixing's glabella, and the expectant expression on his face quickly turned to surprise, with a deep layer of unexpectedness in his brows.

"Before fusing with her, your mental force was about two thousand points; now, your mental force has exceeded three thousand."

Le Zhengyang stroked his beard and exclaimed: "With such a fortuitous encounter, you will probably break the record for the Spirit Abyss Realm."

The Spirit Abyss Realm, like an abyss and a prison, reaching up to the highest heavens and down to Yellow Springs, where all things submit to one's will, is the Foundation for a Spirit Master to possess a legendary Spirit soul, and also the level of most Titled Douluo and Super Douluo.

Furthermore, the mastery of mental force is even more important than spirit power for elemental Spirit Masters. This relates to how many elemental forces of heaven and earth they can mobilize for their own use, directly affecting their combat power.

Feng Zaixing belonged to a semi-elemental Spirit Master. If he wished, he could be the Dominator of light and fire elements.

"Your martial soul is complete. You can come out of seclusion. In the near future, the Spirit Master's world will be shaken because of you!"

Mu Ye stepped forward, chuckling: "Having publicly slandered Shrek, I feel much better. What are your plans next, Zaixing? Are you going to the East Sea to see your Junior Martial Uncle?"

Two days ago, a rare paper letter arrived from Donghai City, personally written by Mu Chen, inviting Feng Zaixing to the Tianhai Competition soon to be held in Tianhai City.

He was to represent the headquarters and serve as a judge for the forging competition.

Feng Zaixing nodded, then shook his head, and said with a smile: "Before going to the East Sea, I'll go make trouble for the Evil Soul Masters."
