Body Sect

== Description ==
The Body Sect is a sect whose members have to possess a Body Spirit. They seek out anyone with a Body Spirit, bring them into the sect, and undergo the Second Awakening of their Spirit. They are neither good nor evil, they do whatever they please and are extremely ruthless.
One of the most important principles that the Body Sect had was that its disciples should never use their soul skills lightly, because their opponents would become familiar with one’s soul skills after each use. They should only be used at the most critical moments in order to achieve a decisive effect. Body Sect had always used one’s body as a weapon, so any part of one’s body could be used as one.
Because of this, the Body Sect was considered one of the best in terms of their research into fighting techniques. In this aspect, even Shrek Academy couldn’t compare to them. It was also one of the reasons why the Body Sect was so strong.
== Second Awakening ==
The Body Sect has a method of teaching its disciples to initiate a Second Awakening in the midst of a battle. This elevates the quality of the martial soul and the Body Sect categorizes them into four levels. After the Second Awakening is completed, light projections formed from the individual’s martial soul will appear behind him as he unleashes his evolved abilities. The color of this projection is very key to understanding the level of his Second Awakening. According to Mu Ye, historically, there are only certain clans with exceptionally profound inner secrets and martial souls passed down from ancient times that have a higher chance at a second awakening.
=== Iron-Level ===
A black projection carrying a metal glow appears during an Iron-ranked Second Awakening. After this Awakening, the fighting strength of the individual’s martial soul will increase by thirty percent or more. This is the most common one among the Body Sect members.
=== Bronze-Level ===
A bronze glow represents a Bronze-ranked Second Awakening. After this Awakening, the fighting strength of the individual’s martial soul will increase by sixty percent. This level is considered rare to find.
=== Silver-Level ===
One level higher is Silver. Such an Awakening will only appear in more important body parts, such as the skeleton or head. Once the Awakening is completed, one’s fighting strength can double. Some can even increase their fighting strength by a level. A Soul King can temporarily possess the offensive abilities of a Soul Emperor. This is already very rare, with not more than 10 members possessing this talent.
=== Gold-Level ===
The rarest and scariest rank is a Gold-ranked Second Awakening. The light projection created will be golden. If you meet such a soul master, you should not fight him unless your soul power is more than a level higher than his. Such a soul master possesses great explosive power, but this will vary between different soul masters depending on the strength of their martial soul. When they undergo their Second Awakening, their offensive strength might even increase up to three times their normal standard. However, at the Gold-ranked level, one’s life power might be completely drained! It has only ever been achieved by the Body Sect leaders in the past.
== Innate Secret Technique ==
=== Body Forging ===
Body Forging involved tearing apart a person’s body completely before putting back the body parts using the finest method. The process usually required countless elixirs to support the body and extreme willpower to endure the excruciating physical pain. Its profound meaning defined the process as using the mighty forces between heaven and earth to penetrate, cleanse, and remold one’s body.
Body Forging was divided into four levels: Body Penetration, Marrow Cleansing, Remolding, and the Golden Body. When these four levels were completed, one could proceed to the Body Sect’s third martial soul awakening. The latter three levels were painful as well, but at least, it could be endured, unlike the first level.
==== 1st Level: Body Penetration ====
* Using the soul energy to penetrate one’s body was equal to tearing apart one’s body completely before putting them back together.
* The first level requires condensing the blood essence core.
* This stage is the most painful.
==== 2nd Level: Marrow Cleansing ====
==== 3rd Level: Remolding ====
==== 4th Level: Golden Body (Golden Body Ahrat) ====
* The highest cultivation level of the Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique under God rank, known as 'Godmaking'. In the legends, a Body Douluo would be able to enter the Golden Body Arhat realm when he cultivated the Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique to perfection. At this realm, the strength of one's body could rival that of a real God. It could be said that he would possess the most powerful body in the world. A Ruheng achieved this level by the time he was a Hyper Douluo.
** It has severe requirements:
*** The person must be a virgin to reach this cultivation level.
*** They would need to begin laying the foundation of the Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique at a very young age to recuperate one's health. Only the disciples cultivated by the Sect Master would be able to adopt this method. The disciples would need to endure countless tortures during the process and suffer through extreme hardships, cultivating both body and spirit.
*** Only through immortal qi of the Divine Realm can one advance beyond this level.
** As soon as the Golden Body Arhat realm was achieved, the person would be immune to all negative conditions. Any auxiliary-type soul skills that would result in negative conditions would be rendered ineffective. Moreover, it would cleanse the person’s body and deter all poisons. All the control-type soul skills including energy-type attacks would all be ineffective against it.
** The Golden Body Arhat was described as ‘born and bred by the heavens, leakproof golden body’ in Body Sect! Any form of energy between heaven and earth would become a part of the person’s nourishment. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible to wait until the Leakproof Golden Body was exhausted.
** There was only one possible way that could defeat A Ruheng. It was to unleash an instant attack to the extent that he was almost incapable of withstanding anymore. Or, outnumbered him with powerhouses in a battle until the Leakproof Golden Body was exhausted. Yet, it was easier said than done.
** Even though the Golden Body Arhat did not make a human being’s body achieve god-rank, it was not far from that extent. The soul master’s ability to sustain his fighting capacity was at least three times more than another soul master of the same rank. Even though A Ruheng had just recently achieved this rank and had yet to achieve three times more, it was at least two times more for sure.
* Leakproof Golden Body: Another name for the Golden Body Arhat. A successful Golden Body Arhat-Leakproof Golden Body would not be encountering any more bottlenecks from this point onward until one reached quasigod rank in one's cultivation. Everything would be free from obstruction and one would be able to achieve that rank in a short period of time. The Golden Body Arhat could certainly become a quasigod rank.
** Through his natural endowments and Tang Wulin's experience with the Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique, A Ruheng comprehended and successully completed this cultivation level.
