A Failed Chicken Theft, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone

The sky.

Du Busi had already been suppressing Xuan Zi.

With the gap of two Hundred-thousand Year Soul Rings, there was a clear disparity in their combat strength.

Du Busi struck in fury, putting his full power into every blow. Within just a few exchanges, he had suppressed Xuan Zi.

Hearing Mu Yuan's shout, he immediately turned to look.

Seeing Yan Shaozhe about to attack Mu Yuan, he laughed angrily. "Shrek, of course it produces scoundrels!"

He roared, his voice rolling like thunder.

Yan Shaozhe, who had yet to reach Level 95, was locked onto by him, and his movements immediately stalled.

That instant of hesitation made him miss the best opportunity to capture Mu Yuan.

Du Busi was wrapped in Dark Green energy, plunging down like a massive drill.

Yan Shaozhe's expression turned ugly. A pair of Crimson Gold wings spread from his back as he quickly retreated.

"You cultivate the light element, yet I never expected you to be such a petty villain!"

Du Busi snorted coldly.

So petty. No wonder the Bright Phoenix had been cultivated into such a state.

Du Busi looked at Yan Shaozhe's nine Soul Rings with disdain.

With Shrek Academy's support, and as Mu En's direct disciple, Yan Shaozhe only had two yellow, two purple, and five black Soul Rings.

He did not even have a single Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring.

One had to know that for Soul Masters, fusing a Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring as their Ninth Soul Ring was normal.

This did not even count as absorbing a Soul Ring beyond one's level.

Even if Shrek's hypocritical sense of morality prevented it from wantonly slaughtering Soul Beasts, there were plenty of Sea Soul Beasts in the ocean.

It was not as though there were no Evil Soul Beasts among the Sea Soul Beasts.

Could they not have sought those out?

To put it bluntly, they had merely been eager to become a Title Douluo sooner and unwilling to spend the time searching for a Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring.

Du Busi's gaze stabbed into Yan Shaozhe's heart.

He possessed the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul and had even become the disciple of Mu En, the Bright Sacred Dragon, yet his achievements were mediocre.

After snorting, a killing intent flashed through Du Busi's eyes.

"What were you trying to do to my sect's disciple just now?"

Only then did Xuan Zi catch up, landing before Yan Shaozhe and shielding him.

His expression was grave.

Du Busi's strength placed tremendous pressure on him.

Wasn't the reason he cared so much about the Body Martial Soul because he felt inferior to Du Busi?

It was not as though he had never fought Du Busi before.

Because they had fought, and because he had often lost, he had remained obsessed with the Secondary Awakening of the Body Martial Soul.

After today's battle, he understood this even more deeply.

He could not defeat him, and his opponent still had a trump card he had yet to use.

If they truly fought to the death here, then his side would definitely be the one to die.

With that thought, Xuan Zi's attitude softened somewhat.

"Old Monster Du, I already said it. That child has a Body Martial Soul, but he does not meet Shrek's requirements. Recommending an academy for him was already the utmost of my goodwill. Could it be that you expect Shrek Academy to recommend Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls to your Body Sect?"

When he said that last sentence, he did not feel guilty in the slightest.

Shrek and the Body Sect had always been at odds.

For a moment, Du Busi also felt that Xuan Zi had a point.

After venting some of his anger, he had calmed down somewhat.

"This matter cannot simply be forgotten. And Yan Shaozhe—he ambushed a disciple of my Body Sect right in front of me. If you do not give me an explanation, all of you will stay here today!"

As he spoke, his blood and qi surged throughout his body, and Dark Green Soul Power dyed half the sky.

Faintly, a trace of golden radiance was about to erupt.

Seeing this, Xuan Zi was greatly alarmed.

"Old Monster Du, have you gone mad?!"

He did not release his Soul Power to provoke Du Busi further.

Du Busi had always been the crazy type. If he were provoked any further, he might truly unleash a Gold-level Second Awakening.

And a Gold-level Second Awakening consumed one's origin.

Once it was activated, Du Busi could not possibly stop.

At that point, the four of them would be in serious trouble.

Not only would the two outstanding Inner Court disciples perish here, but he and Yan Shaozhe, the academy's two pillars, would also fall.

Mu En's condition was worsening by the day, and he did not have many more days left to protect the academy. If something happened to him and Yan Shaozhe as well, the academy would truly suffer a devastating blow.

With that thought, Xuan Zi became inclined to yield.

"What do you want?"

"One Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."

"Impossible!" Xuan Zi immediately retorted.

"Hehe, it is impossible for Shrek Academy not to possess a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone," Du Busi said.

Xuan Zi's expression was ugly.

Having one did not mean they would give it to you.

The academy's collected Soul Bones were naturally reserved for outstanding students. How could they possibly hand one over to an outsider?

Moreover, Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones were truly precious. Even Shrek Academy had only a very small number passed down through the years.

"Then it seems the two of you are worth less than a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone." As Du Busi spoke, killing intent burst from his eyes, and the golden light behind him grew even brighter.

Seeing this, Xuan Zi gritted his teeth.

"I do not have one on me."

"Then go back and prepare a Soul Bone." Du Busi sneered.

He crossed his hands before his chest.

"At the next Soul Master Tournament in Star Luo City, have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone ready. My Body Sect will send someone to collect it."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi rapidly weighed the pros and cons.

He was just about to agree.

After all, once he returned to the academy, Du Busi could not possibly force his way into Shrek.

With Mu En guarding Shrek, Du Busi truly could not be that arrogant.

However, Du Busi's next words made him abandon any thought of reneging.

"If my Body Sect does not receive a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone at the next Soul Master Tournament, I would not mind personally taking action and hunting down Shrek Academy's Shrek Seven Devils!"

Du Busi let out a sinister chuckle.

"My Body Sect has barely over a hundred people in total, yet a Title Douluo from Shrek attacked a Soul Grandmaster from my sect. It is truly hateful!"

"In that case, I will kill one percent of Shrek Academy's students. The Shrek Seven Devils from two consecutive tournaments should be about enough."

Du Busi's way of thinking left even Mu Yuan, who stood behind him, dumbfounded.

So this was how he calculated the debt.

The Body Sect had around a hundred people, and one person had nearly lost his life.

Therefore, Shrek had to pay with the lives of one percent of its students.

Tsk.

Those with nothing truly had no fear of those with everything.

The moment Du Busi said this, Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe both changed expression.

"Madman!"

They cursed in unison.

He was a genuine madman.

Yet they both felt that Du Busi truly could do such a thing.

The Body Sect was both righteous and wicked, unconstrained by convention and acting entirely as it pleased. Since Du Busi had said it, he might truly throw all dignity aside and do it.

Especially since Yan Shaozhe had been the one to use his strength to bully the weak first.

At this moment, Xuan Zi had the urge to strangle Yan Shaozhe to death.

Why did he have to ambush Mu Yuan for no reason?

What petty-minded behavior.

Even if he could not defeat Du Busi, he could have invoked Shrek Academy and Mu En to scare Du Busi away.

But Yan Shaozhe's interference had directly given Du Busi a new pretext.

Now, they had no choice but to give up a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

At the side, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, who had remained silent throughout, both revealed pained expressions.

They were still only students.

They naturally still lacked many Soul Bones.

Hearing that the academy's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone would be given to the Body Sect as compensation made their hearts ache.
