Chapter 1573: Body Sect (Please Subscribe)_1

At the moment Pan Wen stood up, his gaze flickered to the list of upcoming battles as he announced, "The next match will feature Shrek Academy against the Body Sect!!"

This proclamation set the spectating crowd abuzz with conversation...

"Shrek Academy is done for. Their previous victories were all due to luck, but the Body Sect relies on real, crushing strength all the way!"

"No way, no way, surely nobody actually believes Shrek Academy could make it into the top eight just by luck?"

"Tsk, the outer courtyard students of Shrek Academy made it to the top eight. If the inner court students were here, they could easily take the championship!"

"Cut the crap, so what? It's not like the inner court students of Shrek are competing. How could they possibly stand against the Body Sect!"

"I still believe in Shrek Academy. The reputation of being the number one academy on the Continent isn't just for show!"

As for Xie Xie and the others, their faces revealed an expression of surprise...

They had all been preparing to face Xingluo Imperial Academy, but now, to their surprise, they were up against the Body Sect!

Gu Yue's Beautiful Eyes narrowed, "Hm? We're not facing Xingluo Imperial Academy?"

Xu Xiaoyan propped her chin in thought, "I always feel like the royal household wants us to face Star Luo Monster Academy in the end."

Xie Xie stretched himself lazily, "Well, it might be a good thing. The Body Sect couldn't possibly be stronger than Xingluo Imperial Academy, could it?"

Wu Siduo glanced at him, "That's not necessarily true... The Body Sect's Martial Soul is a part of the body itself, which also means they have exceptional strength in certain aspects!"

After a pause, she continued, "The most important thing is... the Body Sect has already researched a method for the second awakening of their self martial souls!"

These words caused Tang Wulin's pupils to tighten as he murmured to himself, "The second awakening of a self martial soul? That means... the day I fainted in my room, it felt as though my body had improved in various aspects!"

Could it be... someone was secretly helping me at that time?

But why would someone help me for no reason?

Seeing him lost in thought, Gu Yue reminded him, "Wulin, what are you spacing out for? Get ready to go up to the ring!"

Tang Wulin immediately snapped back to reality and walked together with the others to the center of the ring...

Across from them, the disciples of the Body Sect had already taken their positions...

It was clearly visible that these disciples of the Body Sect were all exceptionally tall, especially their solid muscles that seemed to hold terrifying power...

An intangible aura around them was enough to send a chill down anyone's spine!

And their team leader, stepping forward, extended his hand and said in a hearty tone, "I am the team leader of this group, Wang Kai. I didn't expect to meet you in the second match of the top eight. I'm not sure if this is luck or misfortune..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin also responded with a light smile, "Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin. If possible, we would prefer not to face the Body Sect!"

After speaking, he also reached out for a brief handshake with the other...

But this simple touch surprised Wang Kai inwardly, thinking, "Hmm... This kid's palm is very hard!"

Even the students of Shrek Academy practiced tempering their bodies!

Becoming increasingly curious, Wang Kai couldn't help but increase the strength of his grip...

Tang Wulin, feeling the change, also inconspicuously increased the strength of his palm, choosing to go head-to-head with him...

For a moment, neither could outdo the other...

Finally, taking a deep breath, Wang Kai asked, his tone burning with passion, "Although younger than me, your physical strength is not inferior. Could it be that you have a self martial soul?"

Tang Wulin shook his head and said lightly, "No, my Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."

Hearing this, Wang Kai's mouth twitched wildly, and his face suddenly darkened...

He... was outmatched in strength by a Soul Master with a Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul?

```

This... This is like strangling the confidence he's had for so long!

And other members of the Body Sect naturally witnessed the scene that had just occurred...

"Just now... Was the captain competing with that Tang Wulin in secret? I saw their palms trembling slightly!"

"The key is that this Tang Wulin seemed nonchalant, which means... his strength is almost on par with the captain's!"

"Pfft, the captain's strength is actually inferior to a Soul Master with the Bluesilver Grass Martial Soul, hahahaha!"

"I'm dying of laughter here, the Sect Master must be watching too. I can already imagine the brutal trials the captain will face when he returns to the sect!"

Wang Kai, feeling his face flush with embarrassment, steeled himself and scolded, "Shut up! You know nothing!!"

"This guy's strength is stronger than any of you, so give it your all out there!"

Hearing this, his teammates were skeptical...

What a joke, could the owner of a trash Martial Soul really be physically stronger than the disciples of the Body Sect?

How embarrassing would that be if it were true!

Pan Wen, who also served as the referee, looked at the palms Wang Kai and Tang Wulin held together and reminded them unexpectedly, "Ahem... Gentlemen, it's time for the duel, please reserve any exchanges for afterwards!"

Wang Kai then released his hand and seriously said, "Tang Wulin, right? I've taken note of you. After this duel, come have tea at the Body Sect!"

Tang Wulin smiled faintly, "If I get the chance!"

After speaking, both teams retreated a few steps backward...

Xie Xie whispered, "Hey, Wulin, that guy didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Xu Xiaoyan also chimed in, "Yeah, I saw the veins on his arms popping out!"

Tang Wulin replied calmly, "Don't worry, it's nothing. He must have just been curious about my strength!"

Unlike the Body Sect disciples who went through grueling physical conditioning, the strong body and dominant strength he possessed were all thanks to the bloodline running through his veins!

Clearly, this wasn't exactly fair to them!

But then... there is no such thing as absolute fairness in the world!

Pan Wen's voice rang out once more, "Please release your Martial Souls! The duel will officially begin in five seconds!"

In an instant, each person on the ring released their Martial Soul...

Visibly, among the disciples of the Body Sect, there were three Soul Kings and four Soul Ancestors!

In terms of soul power rank, they were also a notch above Tang Wulin and his team...

When five seconds had passed, the captain of the Body Sect, Wang Kai, bellowed, "First Soul Skill, Harden!"

The skin on his arms and the rest of his upper body darkened several shades as he followed up with a fierce stomp of his robust right leg. With a "bang," he shot out like a cannonball, charging at Tang Wulin without any clear strategy...

Cold sweat beaded on Tang Wulin's forehead as he thought to himself, "Such incredible speed... But, Purple Demon Eyes!"

His eyes emitted a profound purple hue as he instantly locked onto his opponent's figure, narrowly dodging the latter's assault...

This realization dawned on him!

Although his strength was not less than his opponent's, he was far behind in terms of speed!
