Capítulo 120: Chapter 120: Heavenly Court—Arceus!
"Well? Have you made up your mind?"
Xuan Zi crossed his arms over his chest, his vast soul power surging like a rolling river, completely unconcealed.
Even the Hall Master of the Xingluo Worship Hall could only grit his teeth, not daring to make a move…
"Xuan Lao, is that how I should address you?" Xu Cheng asked with a grin.
"Of course! We'll be family soon, hahahaha!" Xuan Zi laughed heartily.
"Then, do you think that since my missile was able to bypass all detection and strike the heart of Xingluo's imperial capital, would it also be able to reach your Shrek City?"
Xu Cheng clasped his hands behind his back, speaking leisurely.
In an instant, all the members of Shrek Academy shuddered.
What?!!
"Kid, jokes like that aren't funny," Xuan Zi's eyes narrowed, but his expression grew serious.
Although Shrek had Elder Mu guarding it, this so-called 'missile' had indeed arrived without warning. Even he hadn't detected it at first. If…
Hearing this, Xu Cheng smirked, while Xu Jiawei, despite his frustration, remained silent.
After all, this was the truth.
Everyone awaited Xu Cheng's response.
"It's here!"
As Xingluo lifted its defenses, a pure white carrier pigeon suddenly landed on Xuan Zi's shoulder like a bolt of lightning, moving at incredible speed.
Seeing this, in Shrek's resting area, Ma Xiaotao recognized the spirit beast immediately.
She spoke in a hushed voice: "Wind Pigeon, a thousand-year spirit beast. Due to its wind attribute, it's incredibly fast—even a typical Soul Sage would struggle to strike it down. I've seen one before with Elder Mu…"
Everyone fell silent.
In the sky, after reading the letter from the pigeon, Xuan Zi's face rapidly changed.
The handwriting belonged to Elder Mu. The letter's contents were clear: a missile had appeared over Shrek City. Through the investigations of Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er, they confirmed that it carried dozens of dummy warheads. However, even with the Golden Tree's protection, Elder Mu had only detected a faint trace of its presence the moment it arrived. If it had been carrying live warheads, Shrek would have been doomed…
"Well, Xuan Lao?"
Xu Cheng chuckled.
"Inconceivable…" Xuan Zi muttered.
But at that very moment, the expressions of many onlookers turned to shock.
Even Shrek couldn't detect it?!!!
Just how terrifying is the Sun-Moon Empire's soul tool technology?!
At last, when everyone looked at the calm young man, standing unshaken in the face of countless powerhouses, they finally understood.
So this… this is his confidence?
Xu Jiawei, who had once held himself in such high regard, now looked at Xu Cheng with complex emotions.
As a prince of the Sun-Moon Empire and a likely future emperor, how could he not have his own methods? But these methods… were beyond anything anyone had imagined.
"Shrek doesn't dare to touch him! Then what about my Body Sect?"
A booming voice rang through the sky.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Another powerhouse???
Xu Jiawei's mouth twitched.
He had thought himself the mantis hunting the cicada—only to realize he wasn't even the mantis.
But for the mysterious Body Sect to suddenly reveal itself was shocking. A hidden force that had remained isolated for years, powerful enough to rival Shrek Academy, had shown up at the tournament.
And all for one person.
The sky darkened.
A storm was brewing.
Twenty figures appeared in midair—twelve Title Douluo, eight peak Soul Douluo. The leading figure had a strength equal to Xuan Zi himself.
Xu Jiawei's heart shook.
This… was likely not even the full strength of the Body Sect. If they had this many elites, they were on par with Shrek Academy.
And unlike normal soul masters, Body Spirit Masters—like Evil Soul Masters—had unique buffs. Their spirits could awaken a second or even third time, giving them an overwhelming advantage in battle.
"Body Sect!"
Xuan Zi gritted his teeth.
"Heh, don't be in such a rush, Xuan Zi. Your Shrek Academy's location is public knowledge, but my Body Sect remains hidden. No one knows our whereabouts. So, even if this kid has some kind of… missile, it won't touch us." The speaker, Poison Immortal, sneered.
"Hmph, I never thought you old snake would crawl out of hiding. Planning to re-enter the world?" Xuan Zi's eyes narrowed.
"That's right. That's exactly my plan." Poison Immortal admitted without hesitation.
Everyone was shocked.
The Body Sect was terrifyingly strong and acted as they pleased, straddling the line between good and evil.
If they resurfaced, the future would be unpredictable.
And if they took Xu Cheng, their power would rise dramatically, leaving all other factions in the dust.
Even Shrek Academy would be left behind…
"Kid, those with Body Spirits are all my kin. Join my Body Sect, and if anyone so much as looks at you the wrong way, I'll gouge out their eyes and pickle them in wine!" Poison Immortal declared sincerely.
Xu Cheng coughed.
He actually believed this guy—unlike Xuan Zi, who was completely unreliable.
This old man truly cherished talent.
And, to some extent, he even seemed like a fanatic.
This might just be a trait of the Body Sect.
If Xu Cheng had no other options, then with his Blood Pupil martial soul, the Body Sect would indeed be the perfect place.
But…
"Sorry, I'm not interested in joining the Body Sect. But I do have someone to recommend." Xu Cheng rubbed his chin.
Then he turned to the utterly confused Huo Yuhao.
He waved a hand.
The latter quickly ran over.
Xu Cheng patted the young boy on the shoulder with a smile.
"Here. This kid's martial soul is also a Body Spirit. It's similar to mine—his eyes."
A stunned silence fell over the crowd.
A martial soul similar to his Blood Pupil?
Those demonic blood-red eyes…
They had already proven their terrifying power in this very tournament.
Even two Title Douluo had fallen prey to their abilities.
"His eyes too?" Poison Immortal raised an eyebrow, glancing at Huo Yuhao.
Then a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.
"His talent is lacking. But since he possesses a Body Spirit, he's still family. I'll take him! Didn't expect a 'buy one, get one free' deal, hahaha!"
Xu Cheng chuckled.
He turned to the slightly panicked Huo Yuhao and reassured him: "Relax, Yuhao. The Body Sect values talent. Go there and awaken your eyes' second form, then return. It'll massively boost your control over soul tools—think of it as a study abroad trip."
"Hahahaha! Good kid!" Poison Immortal laughed, delighted by Xu Cheng's attitude.
But just then…
Xu Cheng spoke softly.
"So, Poison Elder… do you think my trump card today is just a missile?"
The crowd stiffened.
The last time he said these words… the missile appeared.
Could it be that he had an even greater card to play?!!
"Heavenly Court—Arceus!"
Xu Cheng's voice rang through the sky.
And then—
Under countless horrified gazes—
A hundred-meter-tall mechanical titan slowly emerged in the air…
