At this moment...
As Liu Yuan focused intently on the colossal creatures ahead, Du Busi's emerald-green eyes remained fixed on him, carrying an inscrutable scrutiny.
According to common knowledge in the Soul Master world, there was an extremely strict division between Ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts and human Soul Masters.
Generally speaking, a Soul Beast with twenty thousand years of cultivation possessed combat strength comparable to a human Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
Once its cultivation crossed the fifty-thousand-year threshold, it could even stand toe-to-toe with a Seven-Ring Soul Saint.
Liu Yuan had only just reached the threshold of Level 40 as a Quasi-Soul Ancestor. Faced with such an absolute gap in rank, Du Busi should not have asked whether he wanted to fight personally.
However, Liu Yuan had never been someone who could be measured by common sense.
Du Busi kept a very detailed account in his heart.
Although Liu Yuan's visible cultivation was only at Level 40, the spiritual destructive power granted by his Double Pupil, combined with the unpredictable Qilin Precious Technique that integrated offense and defense, had already allowed him to single-handedly kill a level 50 Evil Soul Master when he was only in his thirties.
In terms of true overall explosive power, Liu Yuan was probably already firmly standing at the threshold of a level 55 Power Attack System Soul King.
More importantly, Liu Yuan possessed the nearly unsolvable Second Soul Skill—Undying Body.
This meant he had an extremely high margin for error in battle. Even if he made a bad decision, he would not die instantly.
Thus, Du Busi had two purposes in asking.
First, he wanted to test whether Liu Yuan possessed the courage to draw his sword and fight when facing an enemy he could not defeat.
Second, he intended to temper him.
