This is a Limit Douluo!
Dragon Subduing Douluo, who had fought him just days ago, had actually succeeded in condensing a second soul core and become a Limit Douluo.
How was that possible?!
Poison Busi stared at Dragon Subduing Douluo in disbelief, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.
Every level after Titled Douluo was a heavenly chasm. Taking even one step forward required an incredible stroke of fortune.
And now Dragon Subduing Douluo had risen two levels in a row, condensed a second soul core, and become a Limit Douluo.
He must have stumbled upon some heaven-defying opportunity.
The Dragon Subduing who had once been on the back foot against him could now beat him senseless.
With control over the seven elements, Poison Busi knew he was no match for Dragon Subduing Douluo.
Then Poison Busi turned his gaze to Guangyu Douluo, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
A level 96 Super Douluo.
With that old child's Martial Soul aptitude, becoming a Super Douluo should have taken every blessing in the heavens. Yet after just one month apart, he had actually made it.
How the hell was that reasonable?
He glanced at Ye Que and Yu Mengdi, too, and his last shred of hope finally died.
It was safe to say they had all stumbled upon an enormous opportunity and received a tremendous boon.
Especially Ye Que.
Poison Busi couldn't even see through his depths.
He was a level 98 Super Douluo, after all, only one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo, yet he had been stuck at that step, unable to advance.
After mulling it over for a long while, Poison Busi managed to force out a smile. "Congratulations on your great fortune. Now that you've returned to the Body Sect, is there something you need from us? If not, I'm going into seclusion."
He was feeling discouraged, bowing to fate.
A hundred years of hard training couldn't beat being born lucky. Poison Busi accepted his lot. He just wanted to get away from these show-offs as quickly as possible, then return to his cultivation.
He wouldn't emerge until he became a Limit Douluo!
Dragon Subduing Douluo said, "We can spar again sometime. But this time, our young master wants to make a deal with the Body Sect."
"Oh?"
Poison Busi perked up with interest. He ushered them into the main hall and had a maid bring tea, then activated a Level Eight soundproof Soul Tool Shield.
He'd stolen this soundproof shield from the Sun Moon Empire. Even Titled Douluo couldn't overhear a thing.
After all that, Poison Busi took a sip of tea and said, "You've all received such great fortune, and you still thought of this old man. What a blessing for me."
He silently added, At least I hadn't wasted my time guiding that kid.
Ye Que was a pretty decent kid after all—much better than those ungrateful wretches from Shrek.
"Senior, you flatter me..."
Ye Que picked up his tea and took a sip, then said seriously, "This time, I need to obtain two super Soul Beasts of around a hundred and fifty thousand years, along with one Soul Beast of around eighty thousand years. They must have one of these attributes: sacred, light, or fire."
"But we don't have experience hunting this many Soul Beasts, and we're worried something might go wrong. So we came to invite you to join us, Senior Poison Busi."
"After all, the Body Sect is the expert when it comes to hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."
Poison Busi drew in a sharp breath.
Two incredibly rare Soul Beasts with attributes, each just shy of two hundred thousand years old, to be hunted in one go—and an eighty-thousand-year-old one thrown in for good measure.
This wasn't just a Soul Beast hunt. It was taking a dump right on Beast God Di Tian's head.
Together, those two Soul Beasts could match a Beast King. Wouldn't Di Tian go berserk on the spot?
And creatures like these only lived in the core region, where they could run into Ferocious Beasts at any moment.
This deal was far too big. He didn't dare accept it.
Poison Busi sighed. "Young Ye, it's not that I don't want to do you this favor. But hunting two rare Soul Beasts with attributes and lifespans of a hundred and fifty thousand years is an enormous undertaking. Even Shrek wouldn't dare do such a thing."
"Do you know what happens when the Beast God flies into a rage? A million corpses litter the ground."
"Never mind how hard the hunt would be. Even if we succeeded, it would surely trigger a beast tide. Di Tian wouldn't let us go, and then Shrek would come after us again, pinning the blame on the Body Sect."
"I'd originally planned to hunt a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast for you. That wouldn't have been too difficult. But now that you've received this opportunity and can absorb Soul Rings with such high year counts, I'm happy for you."
"But this is too great a burden. I can't do it, and I don't want the Body Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire dragged into this quagmire again, stirring panic across the continent and earning everyone's scorn."
Ye Que wasn't the least bit worried. If anything, the refusal was just what he'd expected. He smiled and said, "With Dragon Subduing's strength, hunting these three Soul Beasts shouldn't be too difficult."
"But you know as well as I do that Dragon Subduing's Martial Soul is a Silver Dragon, while the Beast God's true form is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King. Dragon Subduing will surely be suppressed, and he might not be able to bring his full strength to bear."
"And there are too many variables. Even with several Super Douluo fighting alongside us, if we alarm the Ferocious Beasts, it'll create complications and could cost lives. That's the last thing I want to see."
"Besides, Shrek definitely won't stand aside. They can get here in less than half an hour. Then they'll slap the label of Spirit Hall remnants harming the continent on us again, making things difficult for my future plans."
So I'm supposed to be the one with nothing left to lose... Poison Busi was getting annoyed.
"For this operation, I hope the Body Sect will send ten Titled Douluo. Senior Poison Busi, you'll join us, and together we'll hunt the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts."
"Then even if something unexpected happens, we'll have enough powerful people to handle it."
Poison Busi shook his head. "That's impossible. The Body Sect does have that many powerful people, but what if something goes wrong? And Shrek getting involved would be a real headache. The risk of this Soul Hunting Operation is far too high. I'm afraid I can't agree."
"Young Ye, the Body Sect doesn't belong to me alone. My brother entrusted it to me. I can't lead it straight into the abyss."
"Ten thousand years ago, Body Martial Soul Soul Masters came from common folk and received kindness from Spirit Hall. But that doesn't mean you can hold me hostage."
"If a beast tide breaks out, the Body Sect will inevitably bear the blame. So let's forget it."
Ye Que didn't get discouraged. Instead, he smiled.
We've come this far. I'm the one who seems rude now.
Ye Que immediately activated the storage ring on his hand.
In an instant, several kinds of Immortal Herbs appeared before them. Though they were all ordinary, unintelligent Immortal Herbs, their auras still shocked Poison Busi.
Ye Que spoke unhurriedly. "This junior understands the consequences, so I don't want to put Senior Poison Busi in a difficult position. But I'll say this first; whether you do it is up to you."
"I imagine you've been stuck at level 98 for a long time, unable to break through that final level. I can tell you plainly that what I have here are Immortal Herbs, and they can certainly help you reach the realm of a Limit Douluo."
"Also, our branch of the descendants of Spirit Hall will owe the Body Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire a favor each. As long as it's within our power, we won't refuse."
"This junior admires Senior Poison Busi as well, so I plan to give you three Immortal Herbs and one Immortal Herb seed. I hope the Body Sect can flourish, with every sect master becoming a Limit Douluo."
"Long Aotian and Vina are the Body Sect's hope. You don't want them getting stuck at the Super Douluo level either, do you, Senior..."
