Chapter 132: Establishment of the Body Sect

Yang Xiong saw that both Niu Gao and Bai He were already stirred, so he added a spark.

"Elders, if you are willing to join, I can guarantee that both of you will break through to Title Douluo level within ten years, perhaps even sooner."

Niu Gao and Bai He were startled, while Yang Wudi, far away, twitched his mouth corner; after all, Yang Xiong had said the same to him, and he believed it.

Niu Gao and Bai He instantly became serious; after a lifetime of cultivation they were only at Soul Douluo level, and they were already quite old, their soul power had long stagnated, so they feared they would never break through to Title Douluo in this life.

Niu Gao said, "Yang Xiong, you can't speak such words lightly; I know my own strength and potential, and I doubt I can break through in this lifetime."

Yang Xiong said nothing, but glanced at Yang Wudi.

Yang Wudi finally spoke, "Old Rhino, Lao Bai Niao, you still need to trust Yang Xiong on this; I am confident I can break through to Title Douluo within ten years, but it also requires your sincere joining, otherwise I cannot help you."

……

After some discussion, the group finally convinced Niu Gao and Bai He, who resolved to join Yang Xiong.

Originally, according to Yang Xiong's plan, there was no intention to establish a sect early, but now that the three major Single Attribute Families are willing to pledge allegiance, it shows there is a certain foundation.

Yang Xiong examined the four around him carefully, his expression unusually solemn, and said, "Since everyone has made up their minds, I will not hesitate any longer; from today, the Body Sect is officially established."

"From now on, the Body Sect's main members include Po Yi Zu, Yu Yi Zu, and Min Clan; I will also recruit some talents. Henceforth, Teacher Lin Gong will be the Grand Elder of the Body Sect, Senior Yang Wudi will be the Second Elder, Senior Niu Gao will be the Third Elder, and Senior Bai He will be the Fourth Elder."

"I have great confidence in the character of each senior, but I must say in advance: traitors to the sect die; I hope all seniors keep this in mind."

Originally seated, the most important Yang Wudi also stood up at this moment; the four all bowed to Yang Xiong and said, "Salutations, Sect Leader; we will certainly live up to your expectations."

Lin Gong had been merely watching the scene, but after Yang Xiong's words, he reluctantly bowed along with the others, after all his name was attached to the title of Grand Elder of the Body Sect.

Yang Wudi asked with some doubt, "Sect Leader Yang, now that the Body Sect has been established, how shall we interact with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect moving forward?"

Yang Xiong shook his head, "It is still early; my strength is still too weak. The Body Sect should not be too conspicuous. Only the five of us need to know about the sect's founding; for now, do not tell your clanspeople, and even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect must not be informed."

"The world is chaotic now; the Spirit Hall's power is unrivaled, and they will eventually strike at all Soul Grandmaster forces worldwide. We all despise the Spirit Hall and are its greatest enemies, so we should not reveal ourselves in the short term."

"Let me outline the core of all Body Sect actions in the near future: amass provisions, slowly claim kingship, and build high walls."

Niu Gao was a bit puzzled, "Sect Leader, what do you mean? This Old Rhino doesn't quite understand."

The three beside them looked at Niu Gao with extreme contempt; no matter how you look at him, he appears a brute, or even an illiterate.

Yang Xiong, helplessly, said, "Elder Niu, we should not expose ourselves now, so the sect will temporarily be situated near the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, forming an Offensive and Defensive Alliance with them, leveraging their wealth for development."

"By 'amass provisions' we mean we must quickly accumulate wealth and Soul Grandmasters, at least to reach the lower Four Sects level soon; only then can we possibly become the upper Three Sects level, perhaps even attain dominion over the world."

"As for 'slowly claim kingship', we need no reputation, only strength; in this world, power is fundamental. The Spirit Hall and the upper Three Sects are strong because they have Title Douluo and sufficient strength. We also need strength and do not require high fame for now."

Yang Wudi thought for a moment, "Although that's what you say, without enough reputation we cannot attract many Soul Grandmasters."

"Moreover, every powerful sect has an excellent base; if we remain within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's sphere, our development will likely be limited."

"We do not follow the Spirit Hall's model; the Spirit Hall is more like an open audition tactic, recruiting massive numbers of low‑level students from civilian Soul Grandmasters, and eventually those talents rise and become their mid‑high ranks."

"Our path is streamlined; we won't compete with the Spirit Hall on numbers. We aim for each Soul Grandmaster to become an elite, not only strong in combat. With my cultivation method, many masters should emerge later. You know this is the world's order: the outcome is decided by top experts, while lower‑level Soul Grandmasters are merely cannon fodder."

"Regarding the sect's base, I've considered it; I've identified a location, but it's currently occupied by strong individuals, perhaps we must wait until our strength is sufficient to contend with them."

After hearing Yang Xiong's words, everyone gradually understood his thinking: at this stage, develop low‑key, improve personal strength, even cultivate some elites, and when strength permits, soar skyward.

However, as Yang Xiong said, if the four senior elders present all become Title Douluo, then from the high‑level perspective they would surpass the upper Three Sects, and then what in the world would be unattainable?

After further discussion, Niu Gao and Bai He, who originally came to admonish Yang Wudi, were instead persuaded by Yang Wudi and Yang Xiong, and now intend to move their families to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Bai He found it easier to speak; the Min Clan was already relatively poor with fewer assets, so relocation would not be too burdensome.

But the Yu Yi Zu excel in construction and have heavier assets, making relocation more troublesome.

Yang Xiong, also helpless, directly plundered Lin Gong, distributing most of his money to the three major families.

Seeing Lin Gong's plaintive gaze, Yang Xiong felt helpless again; after all, when Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Azure Bull Python were summoned, all his money was looted by Xiao Wu, and now he possesses nothing but Divine Medicine and Immortal Herb, utterly penniless.

After Yang Wudi and the other two left, only Yang Xiong and Lin Gong returned to the room.

At this moment Lin Gong was unusually solemn: "Xiao Xiong, establishing a new sect is too serious; aren't you afraid that Sect Leader Ning and his followers might strike you?"

Yang Xiong laughed, "Teacher Lin, it's not that serious. I have already brought back three top Soul Douluo to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, plus a thousand Soul Grandmasters. The Sect Leader hasn't even had time to thank me, how could he act against me?"

Lin Gong said, "Xiao Xiong, you think too simply; founding a sect on your own, in a sense, is already a betrayal, and no sect can tolerate that."

Yang Xiong shook his head, "If it were another sect, I would never do this; it would be courting death, but with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect it's entirely different."

"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is a support‑type sect; its core martial soul is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, lacking offensive power."

"Although Sword Bone Douluo is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's cornerstone, they will inevitably age and die; the future Body Sect will be a pure battle‑soul‑master sect, where support combined with battle soul masters is the best synergy."

"Moreover, Teacher Lin, you overestimate the current situation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; the Spirit Hall eyes the upper Three Sects greedily, but the Clear Sky Sect remains hidden, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been withdrawing these years; the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is essentially isolated."

"Now that the Body Sect appears, it will not only be an ally of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; both sides will cooperate and rely on each other, allowing Yi Wan Nian longevity. Otherwise the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect may soon face a catastrophic downfall."

Lin Gong said, "Although you say that, you are too optimistic and underestimate human nature; sometimes many people would rather destroy than help others, and even Ning Fengzhi might not tolerate you."

Yang Xiong's face showed a faint smile, "Precisely because Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi is who he is, I dare act now; Teacher Lin, you should know that Sect Leader Ning is more a businessman than a hero."

"I can now bring him unimaginable benefits, even elevate the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to unprecedented prosperity, and also help him resist the Spirit Hall; how do you think Sect Leader Ning will choose?"

Lin Gong sighed, "Fine, you have your own thoughts and ambitions; this old bone of mine can only walk step by step with you, and I don't know if I can truly witness the rise of the so‑called Body Sect."

Yang Xiong's face showed a faint smile, "All thanks to your support, Teacher Lin; though you aren't old—by your age you are not young, but if you break through to Title Douluo, your lifespan should increase greatly, so you wouldn't be an old man then."

Lin Gong's face darkened at those words, "You little Xiao Xiongzi dare to tease me; seems I haven't taught you in a long time. And you establishing some Body Sect, then looting all the money from me—how could you do that? That was my retirement fund!"

Yang Xiong quickly replied, "Teacher Lin, from now on I'll take care of your retirement; what else do you need retirement money for? Besides, you're still young, the age to strive, so why bring up retirement so early?"

Lin Gong rolled his eyes at Yang Xiong, "Your words are baffling, as if you dug a pit for me. Relying on you for retirement, I'd rather rely on myself; if it weren't for you, that little bastard making me angry, I might live a few more years."

Yang Xiong seemed to recall something, "Teacher Lin, besides the three Single Attribute major families, can you help me recruit others? I still feel our strength is insufficient."

Lin Gong's face darkened, "What do you mean? I've been in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for decades; I have few contacts outside now. Those old friends from back then are either dead or haven't been in touch for years."

Lin Gong, at this point, seemed to recall something, "Wait, Xiao Xiongzi, you aren't asking me to recruit that Meng Shu fellow, are you? The Meng family has some strength, but Meng Shu and I have long fallen out."

Yang Xiong laughed, "Long Gong should have been at level 88 for many years; if I can help him break through to Title Douluo, would he be willing to join our Body Sect?"
