Xuan Zi and Du Busi

Jin Peng listened, the dismissive look on his face gradually turning into understanding.

"I understand now."

He lowered his voice, a sharp gleam flashing through his eyes.

"The most powerful trap for luring an enemy out is one that makes them willingly expose themselves even when they know it is a trap."

"At the same time, Shrek must have prepared enough strength to deal with Wu Wei for this trap."

"But we are not Wu Wei, that mere Level 95 Super Douluo. If we strike suddenly, we can definitely catch Shrek off guard!"

"Hahaha! That's right!"

Du Busi laughed heartily and patted Jin Peng on the shoulder.

"Then it's settled!"

As he spoke, he straightened his robes, took a deep breath, and prepared to reveal himself.

However, Jin Peng stopped him once again.

"Sect Master!"

Du Busi paused and turned back to look at him.

"Shrek Academy is full of powerful experts. Do you really not need my help?"

Jin Peng's voice was filled with concern.

He knew that Du Busi was immensely powerful and could come and go as he pleased in most places across Douluo Continent.

But Shrek Academy was clearly not one of those places.

Hearing Jin Peng's words, Du Busi fell silent for a moment. He recalled the fleeting image in the Sky Screen, when Di Tian had seen his future.

The Dragon God Douluo Mu En, whom he had always believed had perished together with his elder brother, had appeared at a later point in time.

That meant Mu En was not dead yet!

The smile on Du Busi's face faded somewhat.

"That Mu En of Shrek Academy may not have died after fighting my elder brother years ago, but he must have suffered grave injuries and cannot act rashly."

"Among those in Shrek Academy who can act freely now, only Xuan Zi remains at my level. We are both Level 98. If I want to leave, he cannot stop me."

Du Busi's tone was arrogant by the end.

As the Body Sect Master and a Level 98 Super Douluo, he indeed had every right to say that.

Seeing that Du Busi was confident, Jin Peng said no more.

He nodded seriously, stepped back, and concealed himself in the shadows at the street corner.

"This is already the second day. There should be five more days."

With the help of a Soul Tool, Zhang Lexuan had successfully disguised herself as Xiao Xiao. As she walked through the streets, she silently calculated the days in her heart.

Before carrying out this plan, Xuan Zi had analyzed the situation with them.

Given Wu Wei's cautious nature as displayed in the Sky Screen, even with the bait placed right before him, he would need to observe for at least a week before he could no longer resist making a move.

And today was only the second day of the plan.

Zhang Lexuan had no objections to serving as bait.

Not to mention that this had been a plan she herself had proposed.

As the senior disciple of Shrek Inner Court, someone almost certain to enter Sea God Pavilion in the future.

At critical moments, she had to step forward and set an example for Shrek's younger generation of soul masters.

With that thought, Zhang Lexuan's gaze grew firmer.

She stopped at a roadside stall, picked out several hair ties, paid for them, and turned to continue wandering around Shrek City, doing something conspicuous.

Just then.

An abrupt change occurred.

A green afterimage shot toward her from the distance at an unbelievable speed!

It was astonishingly fast. Before the afterimage even arrived, a terrifying aura so oppressive it made one suffocate had already locked firmly onto her.

Zhang Lexuan was instantly alarmed.

She knew Wu Wei possessed the strength of a Super Douluo, while she was merely a Soul Douluo. Under normal circumstances, she should have had no ability to resist at all.

But she was the chief disciple of Shrek Inner Court, a genius among geniuses. Fighting above her rank was commonplace for her.

Combined with all the measures prepared for this plan, even if her opponent was Level 95, she definitely could not win.

She could still resist for a few moments and buy time for Xuan Zi to come to her aid.

But the aura of the person charging toward her now was so overwhelming that she could not even summon the thought of resisting.

The gap in strength far exceeded their original expectations!

Just as that green afterimage was about to reach Zhang Lexuan.

Another earth-yellow figure with an equally formidable aura suddenly cut in from the side and directly blocked the green afterimage.

"Bang!"

The sound of their collision exploded through the street. A shockwave spread outward, overturning the roadside stalls in every direction.

"Xuan Zi!"

Du Busi focused his gaze and slowly spoke the name of the man before him, a trace of wariness flashing through his eyes.

"Hmph!"

Xuan Zi snorted coldly and shook both arms, forcing Du Busi several steps back.

The two confronted each other in the street, their gazes clashing. Their invisible auras collided in the air, making the surrounding atmosphere seem to freeze.

The members of Shrek's Supervision Corps, who had originally been hiding in the shadows.

After recovering from their shock, quickly appeared behind Xuan Zi. Their expressions were grave, Soul Rings flashing around their bodies.

"Du Busi, it has been a long time. I never expected you to start doing such shameful things as well."

Xuan Zi's tone was full of contempt as his gaze remained fixed on Du Busi.

"What I do is my business!"

Du Busi replied without a hint of embarrassment, sounding thoroughly justified.

Then his gaze passed over Xuan Zi and fell upon Zhang Lexuan, who was disguised as Xiao Xiao. A hint of greed flashed through his eyes.

"Xuan Zi, I never expected you to personally protect this little girl. I thought you would keep gnawing on your chicken legs day and night."

At those words, Xuan Zi seemed to recall some unpleasant memory. His face immediately darkened.

With a wave of his hand, he said to the Shrek Supervision Corps members behind him, including Zhang Lexuan:

"You cannot participate in this battle. Next, take the civilians nearby away from the area."

Zhang Lexuan and the others nodded seriously.

They were Shrek's geniuses, capable of fighting above their ranks.

But among those who had reached the realm of Title Douluo, who had not once been a genius themselves?

So the question was.

You are a genius, and so am I. Why should you be able to fight above my rank?

Thus, they easily set aside the pride that came with being geniuses and turned to evacuate the civilians.

"Du Busi, it has been many years. Your strength has not improved, but your mouth certainly has."

Xuan Zi spoke in an unfriendly tone.

The next moment, the earth-yellow Soul Power around him surged violently. The robes over his upper body exploded apart, revealing the powerful muscles beneath. Veins bulged across his body, brimming with strength.

"Likewise. I merely did not want to fall behind a certain someone."

Du Busi glanced in the direction Jin Peng had just left. Green Soul Power burst forth from his body, contending against Xuan Zi's earth-yellow Soul Power.

The two forces collided in the air, whipping up fierce gusts of wind around them.

"Hmph! Since you like sneaking into Shrek so much, then stay here!"

Seeing that the civilians had mostly been evacuated by the Shrek Supervision Corps, Xuan Zi shouted and threw a punch directly at Du Busi!

The force of his fist howled through the air. Earth-yellow Soul Power condensed over his knuckles, carrying the might to split mountains and shatter stone.

Du Busi refused to be outdone. Green Soul Power wrapped around his fist as he met the blow head-on with a punch!
