Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 72 Handing Over the Secret Technique

Following the perspectives of Fan Yu and the white-robed Soul Saint, one can see an old man with a pale face lying unconscious next to a rather large soul tool.

"Is this the one? Such ruthless methods."

The white-robed Soul Saint's gaze lingered for a moment on the unfamiliar soul tool, but he quickly focused his attention on the unconscious old man.

While verbally questioning Fan Yu, the Soul Saint's hands were already moving. Raising his hands, a soft green light began to grow from his palms. As the seventh soul ring flashed with black light, emerald green leaves filled Fan Yu's vision, and a towering tree appeared in the inn room.

As if a gentle breeze had swept by, the leaves of the towering tree fluttered down and landed on the unconscious old man without a single one touching the ground.

As the leaves transformed into light and merged into the old man's body, his previously exhausted life force began to recover rapidly. Although, judging from the old man's complexion, this recovery was only a temporary fix, it at least stabilized his physical condition.

Eighty-one leaves of life fell upon the old man, and the towering tree in the inn room swayed slightly, transforming back into the white-robed man. However, compared to before, the white-robed man's expression was far more serious.

How is Teacher Ye doing?

The white-robed man's expression made Fan Yu's heart sink, and she immediately stepped forward and asked.

"This is very troublesome. The old man is very strong, but his methods directly target the Martial Soul. With my current strength, I cannot reach the Martial Soul's domain to deal with the injury."

However, I could sense that the old man's martial spirit was somewhat special; its vitality was incredibly resilient, constantly struggling to hold on. If the Elder were willing to intervene, there might still be hope.

"The martial spirit has a resilient life force? I think I know why. It's a secret, and even just for this secret, the Elder would be willing to take action. Please, Teacher Ye, take this old man back to the inner courtyard to begin treatment."

"What about Ms. Fan Yu?"

“It’s been said to be a secret, so I need to confirm it again and find someone who can explain it clearly. This old man can’t speak right now.”

"I apologize for being presumptuous. I'll take my leave now."

After a slightly refreshing breeze, only Fan Yu and the soul tool on the table remained in the room.

"A telegraph-based soul tool, and the highest-powered version at that. Long You's grandfather isn't bad at soul manipulation either!"

Seeing that the telegraph soul tool was still active, Fan Yu used it to contact Long You.

Long You responded quickly, and having received the answer he wanted, Fan Yu left the inn. Of course, before leaving, Fan Yu didn't forget to notify the city defense troops in the inn's lobby to evacuate, and also repaired the large hole in the ceiling of the inn's room that had been made by the Martial Soul True Body.

Long You and his father, who had set off before dawn using their invisible soul tools, arrived at the Shrek Academy gates before noon.

Ignoring the awe at the speed of the level-seven flying soul tool, Long You chatted with the students guarding the gate for a while before leading his father into the academy and rushing towards the Soul Guidance Department.

Fan Yu was waiting for Long You and Long's father in the office early in the morning. When she saw Long's father arrive, she pulled him and ran towards the direction of the Sea God Lake, obviously heading to the inner courtyard.

As for Long You, he is not qualified to go to the inner courtyard. Long You needs to write down the Long family's meditation techniques and the method for the second awakening of the martial soul.

Last night, Fan Yu asked Long You to confirm whether Grandpa Long had also completed the second awakening of his martial soul. After Long You gave his answer, Fan Yu told Long You that if they wanted to save Grandpa Long, they had to tell the academy about the second awakening of his martial soul and also share the method.

There's not much to say about that. It's impossible to ask the Elder of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy to intervene without paying a price. The Tang Sect's cultivation techniques couldn't be handed over, so after discussing it with Long's father, Long You handed over the Long family's meditation techniques.

Aside from being a little slower, there's no difference in any other aspect. Yes, no difference at all, that's it. Didn't you see that Long's father, Long's mother, and even Grandpa Long have all completed their second awakening of their martial souls? Absolutely no difference.

As for how much slower the martial soul consciousness would take to mature after the lack of fusion with the old version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Long You said he didn't know, he really didn't know.

In any case, once the trustworthy members of the Long family learn the method for awakening their martial spirit consciousness, they can awaken their martial spirit consciousness immediately, without the need for a process of nurturing it.

Long You had already invented the soul tool for printing and photocopying, so preparing the materials didn't take him long at all. However, his father had been missing for quite some time.

Helpless, Long You had no choice but to return to his forging chamber and begin wielding his hammer. Completely unaware, the island of Poseidon was already experiencing a disruption to its tranquility due to the news his father had brought there.

"Mr. Long, this matter is of utmost importance!"

"Precisely because this matter is of great importance, I dare not utter a single lie."

Although I have not personally participated in the investigation process, my Long family's Third Elder has indeed provided concrete evidence of his actions of betraying his clan and country.

However, if the information my father has gathered is true, my Xingluolong family cannot withstand this, and the families affected by this matter will definitely not be limited to my Xingluolong family alone.

"The Sun and Moon Empire is trying to provoke a war. But how dare they? Do they think Mingde Hall can already rival Shrek Academy?"

"I'm afraid it's not just Mingde Hall; the evil spirit sect that my father mentioned—the Holy Spirit Cult—should not be ignored either!"

According to the information my father relayed, he only probed the Holy Spirit Cult organization in a small county town. This isn't a big city; for the Holy Spirit Cult to send a Soul Saint-level evil soul master to such a small town, their strength shouldn't be underestimated!

“That’s right, I almost overlooked that. Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Long. However, if we want to know more about the Holy Spirit Cult, we can only wait until Old Master Long comes to his senses.”

"Teacher Fanyu, what about my father's injuries?"

"Mr. Long, rest assured, although Old Master Long's injuries are complicated, the Grand Secretary is confident that he can be fully recovered."

The complexity of Old Master Long's injuries lies in the toxin that corrodes his martial spirit.

Grandpa Long's martial spirit is now far more resilient than imagined, and he's even sacrificing his life force to maintain its state. Therefore, the poison's erosion of his martial spirit hasn't reached an irreversible point. While significant damage to his vital energy is inevitable, death is impossible.
