Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

Du Busi is bald and more than two meters tall, with a broader build than an ordinary person 35 36 59.

• His voice is rough and booming 28 51.
• While hiding in Shrek City after his defeat, he wore torn clothes and had a dirty, unkempt face 73.
• His Martial Soul Avatar transforms him into a dark-green giant; its Second Awakening produces brilliant green light edged with gold 36.

Personality

Du Busi is short-tempered, outspoken, and accustomed to settling disputes with his fists. Shen Yichen repeatedly provokes him in the Diary chat, but Du Busi also seeks his advice when force alone cannot solve a problem 31 35 73.

Despite publicly dismissing the danger posed by Tang San, Du Busi privately fears him. He nevertheless protects Huo Yuhao and prepares for the Body Sect’s survival by sending disciples away with copies of its secret art 29. His hostility toward Shrek does not prevent him from trying to avert the deaths of its Inner Court disciples 33 35.

Du Busi becomes an enthusiastic defender of the Diary. He later admits that he recognized some of its Daily Essays as false but had enjoyed the story too much to expose it before its ending 85 100.

Abilities & Skills

Body Martial Soul

Du Busi’s Body Martial Soul grants exceptional physical strength and defense. At Level 99, he overwhelms Da Ming and Er Ming before they draw on Tang San’s power 57 59.

• Martial Soul Avatar: His Seventh Soul Skill transforms him into a giant. At Level 99, the avatar reaches several hundred meters in height 36 57.
• Second Awakening: This transformation greatly increases his fighting power. He uses it to defeat Xuan Zi and later against the two divine beasts 36 59.
• Flawless golden body: A Diary reward associated with unity of heaven and man, strengthening the Body Martial Soul’s overall capabilities 57.
• Limit: Once Da Ming and Er Ming use Tang San’s power, Du Busi cannot break their defenses even with his Golden Awakening 58 59.

Body Secret Art

Du Busi cultivates the Body Sect’s secret art, which is especially effective for a Body Martial Soul. Even after losing most of his Soul Power, he believes his tempered body cannot be subdued by anyone below Soul Douluo level 57 73.

Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores

After reaching Level 99, Du Busi deduces a method of forming dual Soul Cores. He attempts to detonate them during his battle with Da Ming and Er Ming, but Sea God’s Power restrains him and prevents the explosion 57 59.

Heavenly Restriction

A later reward strengthens Du Busi’s body while costing him the ability to use Soul Power in the future. Combined with the Body Secret Art, it restores his strength to what he describes as his former peak 105.

Background and History

Du Busi’s elder brother, Du Bisou, fought Mu En and died after their battle. Although Du Busi has personal feelings about the loss, he acknowledges that his brother was fairly defeated. Du Bisou had told him about the Sea God’s Light, which reversed the course of that fight 32 37.

After receiving a Diary Copy, Du Busi learns of Tang San’s plans for Huo Yuhao. He offers Yuhao the Body Sect’s protection while preparing for retaliation against the sect 28 29. He later scatters its disciples, preserving its legacy even as the sect breaks apart 53 55.

The Diary also reveals an original Fate Trajectory in which Evil Soul Masters devastate the Body Sect, Du Busi’s cultivation is damaged, and he dies by self-detonation while attempting to assassinate the Sun Moon Emperor. He considers his actual circumstances preferable because the sect’s legacy survives 87.

Story Role

Confrontations with Shrek

Concerned that Xuan Zi will lead Shrek’s students into disaster, Du Busi asks the chat how to make the academy take a warning seriously. Shen Yichen suggests beating Xuan Zi publicly and threatening him whenever he leads students 33 35.

Du Busi attacks Shrek at dawn and defeats Xuan Zi, but flees when the Golden Ancient Tree’s power emerges. He later identifies the power as the Sea God’s Light and warns that Shrek cannot be defeated without dealing with the Sea God 36 39.

When Xuan Zi subsequently comes to the Body Sect on a mission to retrieve Huo Yuhao, Du Busi and the sect’s experts overwhelm him. Mu En intervenes by voice transmission, and Du Busi releases Xuan Zi with a controlled kick 49 52.

Battle in the Star Dou Great Forest

Du Busi hides in the Star Dou Great Forest with Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun’er while the Body Sect’s disciples scatter. Anticipating danger, he asks the other Diary holders to help preserve the sect’s disciples and legacy if he dies 55 56.

After reaching Level 99, he confronts Da Ming and Er Ming and initially overpowers them. Tang San orders the beasts to use his Divine Sense; unable to defeat them afterward, Du Busi attempts to detonate his Soul Cores. The Sea God’s Power prevents the explosion, and the beasts strike him down 57 59.

Du Busi survives with most of his Soul Power lost. Rather than abandon the fight, he vows to settle his grudge with Tang San 61.

Schemes and Recovery

Du Busi infiltrates Shrek City while disguised as a destitute man. With Shen Yichen’s help, he stages a threat against Huo Yuhao, prompting Xuan Zi to guard Yuhao’s courtyard 73 74. He later goes to the Sun Moon Empire and offers Shen Yichen his help there 78 90.

Huo Yun’er’s decision to encourage Yuhao to accept Xuan Zi as his master angers Du Busi, although he concedes that a connection to Shrek could benefit the boy. He later receives Heavenly Restriction, restoring his strength through a different means 96 105.

Relationships

• Du Bisou — His elder brother, who died after fighting Mu En and warned Du Busi about the Sea God’s Light 32 37.
• Huo Yuhao — His disciple, whom he trains and protects against Tang San’s designs. Yuhao later accepts Xuan Zi as another master 49 53 96.
• Huo Yun’er — Yuhao’s mother and a fellow Diary holder. Du Busi protects her but resents being drawn into Tang San’s conflict through her and Yuhao 29 56 87.
• Shen Yichen / Great Sage Equal to Heaven — A frequent provocateur who becomes Du Busi’s ally against Tang San. When Shen Yichen reveals his identity, Du Busi recognizes that, despite being guided, he acted according to his own convictions 30 74 113.
• Xuan Zi — A Shrek expert whom Du Busi defeats twice. Du Busi later helps lure him into guarding Huo Yuhao 36 52 74.
• Mu En — Shrek’s Sea God Pavilion Master and Du Bisou’s former opponent. His intervention persuades Du Busi to release Xuan Zi 37 52.
• Tang San — The Sea God whom Du Busi opposes over his plans for Huo Yuhao. Tang San’s power is used to defeat and cripple him 29 58 59.
