141 The Five Elders of the Body Sect

  Time flies, and soon a full year has passed.

  The training ground of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect looked extremely dangerous and terrifying at this moment.

  Yang Xiong stood alone in the center of the parade ground, surrounded by five thousand-year-old soul beasts. Each soul beast was over 3,000 years old and looked extremely ferocious.

  In particular, these five soul beasts have different attributes. There are the swift-attacking Wind Wolf, the Fiery Bear with excellent defense, and even a giant python.

  But Yang Xiong was not afraid at all. He held a sword in his hand and fought desperately with the five soul beasts. Even though he did not need to use his soul power, he felt more at ease.

  As time passed, several soul beasts were gradually seriously injured by Yang Xiong using various means. At the last moment, only a terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex was left on the scene, which was also the oldest and strongest among all the soul beasts.

  When the Tyrannosaurus Rex attacked with all its strength, the sword in Yang Xiong's hand actually cut out a sword energy, which seemed to tear the space apart directly, and finally cut the Tyrannosaurus Rex's throat. It seemed that it would not live long.

  After this final blow, the sword in Yang Xiong's hand broke into pieces. He seemed to have exhausted all his strength and sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

  Jian Douluo waved his hand, and several soul masters appeared and controlled the five soul beasts. They even provided some treatment to them. These were all top-level thousand-year soul rings and should not be wasted easily.

  After Yang Xiong stood up, Jian Douluo nodded with satisfaction: "Well, Yang Xiong, you have met the expectations of Old Bone and me this year. Both your combat effectiveness and control over your body have improved. You really didn't disappoint us."

  Yang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. Just two days ago, Yang Xiong finally broke through to level 50, but before he could be happy, Jian Douluo arranged this brutal battle.

  Over the past year, Yang Xiong's training was extremely cruel and hard. He basically hovered between life and death every day and did not even have a moment to truly relax.

  After much thought, Yang Xiong finally asked Jian Douluo to teach him swordsmanship.

  Although the original martial soul is powerful, it is still insufficient to attack with pure strength and skill, and learning swordsmanship may be able to make up for it to a certain extent.

  Jian Douluo was originally very disdainful, thinking that it was a waste of time for Yang Xiong, a non-sword spirit, to learn swordsmanship.

  But Yang Xiong was not discouraged. He spent a lot of money to make a very heavy and large sword. The sword weighed three thousand pounds. Although it was not sharp, its design was very suitable for Yang Xiong's body.

  Yang Xiong wielded the heavy sword every day to practice basic sword skills, including stabbing, chopping, poking, lifting, picking, cutting, slicing and pressing. He practiced these eight movements with the heavy sword a thousand times every day. Finally, he made some progress and reached level 50, and finally comprehended a trace of sword energy.

  Originally, Sword Bone Douluo was a little disdainful of Yang Xiong, thinking that Yang Xiong was wasting time, but Yang Xiong used the time after training in the afternoon to practice every day, so the two did not object.

  However, in comparison, Yang Xiong felt that there seemed to be a hint of excitement in Jian Douluo's eyes, and felt that this was a bit like Jian Douluo's disciple.

  After a year of hard training, both his combat and defensive abilities have basically met the requirements of his two teachers.

  In terms of defense, when facing the attacks of five soul beasts, Yang Xiong not only had an extremely fast reaction speed, but also had a strong ability to withstand attacks.

  Especially when facing the attack of the Millennium Tyrannosaurus, he was able to resist it with his body. Even when the Tyrannosaurus hit Yang Xiong's shoulder, his shoulder seemed to have fully adapted to the powerful attack. In addition to his strong muscles and skin, he could also unload some of the force at the moment of being hit, making his defense much stronger than before.

  As for attacking, apart from occasionally using a sword, most of the time he is extremely ferocious and brutal. Fighting with this kind of soul beast for a long time not only greatly improves his body's ability to withstand pressure, but even murderous aura begins to gradually condense on his body, making him appear extremely ferocious.

  In response to Jian Douluo's praise, Yang Xiong saluted quickly: "Thank you for your cultivation, teacher. I will work hard to become stronger."

  Jian Douluo nodded: "Well, you have reached level 50 now. You can talk about future cultivation after you obtain spirit rings. It's up to you to get which spirit ring you want. I have a lot of things to do recently, so let Lin Gong help you deal with this ten thousand year old spirit beast."

  Yang Xiong has improved by 5 levels in this year. Although the speed is not extremely fast, it is still very good.

  Especially after each training session, whether it was Bone Douluo's defense or Sword Douluo's offense, it was basically a destruction of the body.

  It is precisely this kind of desperate fighting and body training that greatly improves the body's ability to withstand attacks, and the speed of cultivation has actually increased slightly.

  After bidding farewell to Jian Douluo, Yang Xiong followed Lin Gong to Yunwu Mountain.

  In the hall of Yunwu Mountain, Yang Xiong sat in the center, surrounded by five people, namely Lin Gong, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He and Dragon Lord Meng Shu.

  Yes, Lord Long Mengshu has also led his family to join the Body Sect, and even the Exotic Beast Academy controlled by Lord Long has moved to the vicinity of Tiandou City.

  In order to win over Meng Shu, Yang Xiong put a lot of thought into it. In addition to a thousand-year-old elixir and various supports, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect also paid a lot of price.

  The most crucial one is Lin Gong. Lin Gong has now cultivated to level 89 and is not too far away from becoming a Titled Douluo.

  Originally, Lin Gong was one level lower than Meng Shu, but now his soul power has surpassed Meng Shu by one level, which makes Meng Shu psychologically very unbalanced.

  Moreover, Lin Gong and Meng Shu had a shocking battle. The two fought for a full day and night, and finally Lin Gong won with great difficulty.

  The bet between the two sides in this battle was very high, so Lord Dragon Meng Shu agreed to cooperate with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and also agreed to join the Body Sect. He is now the fifth elder of the Body Sect.     In order to win over the Meng Shu family and the Exotic Beast Academy, Yang Xiong made a great effort. He also used Lin Gong's past friendship with Meng Shu and even promised to help the two of them kill Ju Douluo in the future. If he could not fulfill his promise, Long Gong could lead his people away.

  However, Lord Long also brought hundreds of soul masters to the Body Sect. The martial soul inheritance of Lord Long's family is the dragon head cane and the snake head cane, which are also top-notch weapon martial souls and have martial soul fusion skills.

  This time, Long Gong was won over with the guidance of Ning Fengzhi and even the full cooperation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

  Just as Ning Fengzhi said, the relationship between the three single-attribute families is so good that they seem to be a whole. Only by bringing the Longgong family in can they be restrained.

  As for why the Long Gong family was not allowed to join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it was because a proud person like Long Gong would never be able to become a subsidiary of other sects, while joining the Benti Sect would mean becoming half a master, and not only would they become sect elders, but the various training methods set up by Yang Xiong in Yunwu Mountain also amazed Long Gong himself.

  Now Yunwu Mountain has also changed a lot. Yang Xiong has designed various training methods, so the core position is a huge and weird layout.

  This is a flat land with a radius of dozens of meters. The ground is all granite and the surface is covered with iron pillars.

  Each iron pillar is about three meters high and only ten centimeters in diameter, so you can only put your toes on it. The distance between each iron pillar is about one meter.

  This was set up by Yang Xiong based on the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. There are certain rules between all the iron pillars. It looks like a huge Bagua formation and was named Bagua Post by Yang Xiong.

  There are two training programs in Baguazhuang. One can train a person's balance while sitting on the pole, which is somewhat similar to the practice of Qinggong in the world of martial arts. It can even make a person's soul power more stable.

  Another method is to practice footwork between the Bagua Postures. Yang Xiong combined the Bagua Steps and Bagua Postures he had researched, and moved forward quickly within the Bagua Postures without hitting the pillars.

  Both the three single-attribute families and Lord Dragon Meng Shu were extremely surprised by the Bagua Posture, which was very beneficial to their cultivation.

  The Min clan originally had the fastest speed in the world, but after practicing the Bagua Steps and using the Bagua Posture, a certain rule was added to their actions. It was no longer just about speed, but also gained some dodging ability.

  The Yu clan was originally slow, but after practicing the Bagua Steps, they were able to make up for their lack of mobility.

  As for the Po Yi Clan, Yang Wudi and Long Gong often like to fight on the Bagua piles and restrict the use of soul power and soul skills.

  Yang Wudi used the Soul-Breaking Spear and Long Gong used the Dragon Head Cane. The Bagua Posture seemed to be very suitable for their spear and cane skills. It seemed that both of them had improved a lot after this period of time.

  Yang Xiong also invited Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to Yunwu Mountain. The two teachers were not as reserved and dull as before, nor as condescending as before.

  Jian Douluo and Yang Wudi fought a fierce battle. Although Yang Wudi lost miserably, Jian Douluo also recognized the power of the Soul-Breaking Spear and even personally gave some instructions on the application of the weapon spirit.

  Bone Douluo and Niu Gao had a purely defensive competition. Even Niu Gao, who was proficient in defense, highly respected Bone Douluo's defense. If Niu Gao had not been too old, Yang Xiong would have doubted that Niu Gao wanted to worship Bone Douluo as his master.

  In short, Sword Bone Douluo stood behind Yang Xiong, and the five elders became more respectful to Yang Xiong.

  The Exotic Beast Academy was another surprise. Although the entire academy was nominally led by Duke Long, it was now affiliated with the Body Sect.

  After some arrangements and processing, it has been renamed the Body Academy. It is mainly responsible for the study and training of disciples of the three single-attribute families and the Longgong family. It also recruits some ordinary civilian students.

  After a year, Ning Fengzhi mobilized the power of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to help Yang Xiong collect more than a dozen children with original martial spirits.

  Although these children had average talent and even average innate soul power, and were obviously not taken seriously in the past, in Yang Xiong's eyes, these people were the future team of his Body Sect, and even the foundation for changing the world pattern.

  Not only did Yang Xiong invite Lin Gong to personally educate these people, but he also invested a lot of resources and effort, and even personally designed the training methods, which made these ordinary children flattered one by one.

  Of course, a small incident also happened during this year. The patriarchs of the four single-attribute families held a gathering.

  Titan was originally very happy that Yang Wudi and the other two moved their family to the Tiandou area, but when he heard that Yang Wudi and the other two highly praised the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, his expression became not very good.

  Ever since the battle with Haotian Sect that year, the four single-attribute families have been extremely repelling the upper three sects. Unexpectedly, now the three major families have shown a tendency to join the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, which makes Titan himself a little depressed.

  But Titan admired Tang Hao very much in his words and always regarded Tang Hao as his real master, which made Yang Wudi and others very ashamed. After all, Yang Wudi and others hated Tang Hao very much.

  Although the four of them had a good brotherly relationship and deep feelings, they did not fall out, but cracks appeared between the four single-attribute families that were originally united.

  Titan did not explain anything about his young master Tang San. Now Tang San was not ready to establish the Tang Sect. Titan was not a fool. Seeing that the families of Yang Wudi and the other two had become better off, he could only wish them the best.

  When Yang Wudi and the other two knew about Titan's loyalty to Tang Hao, they no longer had the idea of ​​bringing Titan and the Li Clan into the Body Sect.

  Yang Xiong knew Titan's personality very well. The two had never even met each other and he had no intention of winning him over. Bai He was already a hidden danger, and with the addition of Titan, the sect he had worked so hard to create might fall apart at any time.

  According to Yang Xiong's plan, with the original martial soul as the core of the sect, plus the five elders at this stage, plus a main body academy that can train students, plus the financial cooperation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, the structure of becoming a large sect in the future will be completed.
