55: Chapter 55 The Sect Master of a Different Generation

Sect Master Du Busi thought carefully about the eight words Lin Feng had spoken, lowering his head in contemplation.

After a long while, he raised his head again, staring at Lin Feng with burning eyes. "How do you explain these eight words?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly, a profound expression on his face. He refilled his jade cup with Spirit brew, holding it in the air, but did not drink. Instead, he said in a low voice:

"Revered Master, what do you think the current trend of the era truly is?"

Sect Master Du Busi thought seriously. After a moment, as if he had thought of something, his expression became somewhat unsightly, but he still said it: "spirit tools!"

Lin Feng nodded with a smile. "Exactly right!"

"If Revered Master wants to curb this decline, it is not as simple as introducing a few new policies or taking in more Disciples with a Body Martial Soul."

"Instead, it is necessary to launch drastic reforms against the conservatism within the Body Sect and ignite a determined spirit tool revolution!"

Sect Master Du Busi's calm eyes widened instantly, and his body jumped up with a start.

Lin Feng raised his hand to press down, saying with a smile: "Revered Master, don't be excited, listen to me finish..."

"Although change is difficult, the results are worth a try!"

Sect Master Du Busi frowned, but still listened to Lin Feng and sat back down. Lin Feng talked eloquently:

"I have the following points to support my argument for Revered Master!" Lin Feng met Sect Master Du Busi's gaze and extended one finger:

"The first point starts with the core Legacy of the Body Sect — 'The Secret of the Body'."

"The opening of this Secret Manual points out: Spirit Masters possessing a Body Martial Soul are naturally favored by the heavens and can achieve a perfect integration with spirit tools, unleashing power far greater than ordinary Spirit Masters!"

Speaking to this point, Lin Feng paused, thought for a moment, and replied slowly: "As for the core principle, I think it lies in the four words: innate compatibility."

"What is innate compatibility? Two reasons: physical constitution and Mental Energy perception!" Lin Feng said calmly:

"The secondary Awakening of our Body Martial Soul itself greatly enhances the body of a Spirit Scholar, enabling them to withstand and drive more powerful spirit tools."

"Secondly, the superb vision and powerful Mental Energy that come with the Body Martial Soul allow us to be far more precise than ordinary spirit tool Revered Masters when engraving spirit tools and spirit tool arrays."

Sect Master Du Busi's eyes were moved; he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and signaled for Lin Feng to continue.

After brewing for a moment, Lin Feng extended his second finger: "The second point is the application of spirit tools by the Body Martial Soul."

"A powerful Spirit grants us maximized output efficiency when driving spirit tools, precise control effects, and wide-range group combat capabilities."

"Based on these points, the Body Martial Soul and spirit tools are a match made in heaven, existing to complement each other. When we Spirit Masters with a Body Martial Soul wield spirit tools, we are more intimidating than other Spirit Masters!"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, raised his wine cup, and drank silently, saying no more. From time to time, he glanced at Sect Master Du Busi to observe his expression.

At this moment, Sect Master Du Busi was touched to the Soul by Lin Feng's words, lowering his head to think silently, not even drinking the wine on the table.

Half an hour later, Sect Master Du Busi finally came back to his senses from Lin Feng's words, looked at him with a frown, and said: "That may be true, but I still do not favor the development of spirit tools."

"First, for the strong, spirit tools are already dispensable. Even the pinnacle of spirit tools, the Level 9 spirit tools, are just icing on the cake for us and would not actually improve our combat power."

"Second, the most powerful spirit tool Revered Masters in the World are in the Sun Moon Empire. The spirit tool technology of our Original Three Kingdoms is very backward, and I do not believe that we in the Body Sect can achieve reforms that the Empire cannot."

"Third, I am worried that excessive reliance on external objects will weaken us Spirit Masters ourselves. Therefore, I once had such thoughts, but I denied them."

"No, Revered Master, you are wrong," Lin Feng shook his head. "It is precisely because the Empire cannot do it that we can!"

"Revered Master, think carefully, where are we stronger than the three great Empires, or other forces?" Lin Feng looked into Sect Master Du Busi's eyes and said softly.

"That goes without saying, it is of course our strength. The strength of our Body Sect is one of the best even when looking at the entire Douluo Continent; there is nowhere in the World we cannot reach."

Sect Master Du Busi slapped the table and said domineeringly.

"Exactly, Revered Master, you hit the nail on the head. This is our greatest advantage, and it is also where Shrek Academy cannot compare to us: the power of our high-level combatants!"

Lin Feng was full of gratification. His cheap Revered Master had finally become enlightened. It was time to let Sect Master Du Busi witness the chess skills he had inherited from the Grand Han Chess Saint.

"Revered Master, the Body Sect is already old, thoroughly old!"

Lin Feng sighed, his voice complex: "This old age not only exists in the lack of connection between the young generations but also in the fact that we in the Body Sect are just a group of frogs in a well, raised in mountain gullies, voluntarily looking at the sky from the bottom of the well, unwilling to accept new things from the outside."

"spirit tool resources can be snatched, saved, exchanged, or seized, but once the vision is locked, the overall strength will become weaker with each generation, until it is eliminated by the era and devoured by the strong."

"Revered Master, this is not your fault alone, but lies in the historical limitations of the Body Sect's thousand-year development, which have hindered its progress!"

"The precious resources left behind by the ancestral stones of past generations are only the temporary confidence for our development. Only vision is the fate of a lifetime. Without foresight, no matter how thick the family foundation is, it will become vulnerable in the face of the torrent of the era."

"This is what... I really wanted to say to you."

Sect Master Du Busi was silent. Lin Feng knew how great an impact his words had on him.

It was just like the feeling of someone scolding the books of sages you read since childhood as pedantic in modern times.

This was equivalent to asking the other person to deny everything they had done in the past. The collision of ideas blurred the boundaries of right and wrong. Anyone with low psychological endurance would probably go crazy facing such words...

Sect Master Du Busi picked up the jade cup and drank the sullen wine sip by sip. Lin Feng did not disturb him, just accompanying him quietly to drink and discuss the Dao.

Ideas are things that require a hundred schools of thought to contend and a hundred flowers to bloom. They are not created out of thin air, but obtained through collision.

The night grew deeper, and the wine jars beside the two were bottoming out one after another. In the end, Sect Master Du Busi even flicked his hand, shattering the jade cup into pieces of clear light, and grabbed a jar directly from the ground, drinking it over his head. The wine splashed, and the sound of drinking was endless.

Until the jar was empty, Sect Master Du Busi slammed the wine jar heavily on the table and looked at Lin Feng with firm eyes:

"Lin Feng, how about you sit in this Sect Master position?"

"What?!"

Lin Feng didn't hear clearly, or rather, couldn't believe it. His eyes widened suddenly; he would rather believe that something was wrong with his ears...

"I said, let you be the successor Sect Master of the Body Sect!"

"Bang!"

Lin Feng couldn't even sit steadily in his seat, tipping backward. He hurriedly got up, mouth wide open, "Revered Master, you aren't joking, are you?"

"You have drunk too much and are talking nonsense, haha..."

"Come, come, I will accompany you for another three hundred rounds!" Lin Feng laughed it off, also picked up a wine jar, and began to drink heavily.

However, Sect Master Du Busi stared at him with burning eyes; his clear state showed he was not joking at all.

Lin Feng could not pretend any longer. He put the wine jar on the table and looked at him, biting the bullet:

"Revered Master, actually, what I just said..."

Sect Master Du Busi reached out to stop him, took a deep breath, and dispelled some of the drunkenness on his face. "I am serious. You are right, the Body Sect is indeed old."

"It needs a more visionary young person to lead it, and that person is none other than you!"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes indignantly. "Revered Master, surely you aren't trying to shirk responsibility and dump this mess of the Body Sect onto me, right?"

"I am still busy Cultivating and have no time to deal with these political affairs. Instead of that, it would be better to just wait until my cultivation reaches Limit Douluo."

Lin Feng pouted helplessly: "At that time, I will just beat up whoever I am unhappy with. Once the Body Sect becomes the number one force on the continent and we bring Mingde Hall under our command, these problems will naturally be solved!"

Sect Master Du Busi scratched his head and sat down awkwardly.

He had said it on a whim while drunk, but he hadn't thought of this aspect.
