Huo Yuhao Becomes Du Busi's Disciple, Bainuo Makes the List!

"Is this the Holy Dragon's evolution?"

Kaifeng opened his eyes, sensing the changes in his Martial Soul and Soul Power.

With a slight thought,

"Roar—!!!"

A dragon's roar, far more resounding and majestic than before, burst forth from the body of the Holy Dragon Baros!

Even the plaza of the Dragon Martial Clan was covered in a layer of watery frost!

All Living Beings noticed that Baros's vertical pupils carried a cold, majestic air that looked down upon all living things!

"Wh-what a terrifying aura!"

Ziyao's little face was filled with shock and delight.

He could sense that the aura emanating from Baros had completely surpassed that of his own Gabudo.

It was the bloodline suppression brought about by the Holy Dragon's evolution!

"Kaifeng's luck is way too good..."

"Now only Ziyao and I haven't had our Martial Souls undergo Holy Dragon transformation yet."

Watching Kaifeng receive so many rewards,

Lan Tianhua stomped her feet in anger. Her eyes were full of unwillingness and envy as she said in confusion,

"Why did the Sky Screen give Kaifeng two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones? This is way too unfair!"

Although she had gained something from making the list as well,

it was completely incomparable to ready-made treasures.

Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones—how much would those even be worth???

"Tut, tut~"

Dongfang Mo leaned against a stone pillar and watched Lan Tianhua.

A rare hint of gentleness appeared in his usually proud eyes as he teased,

"Who told certain people not to cultivate properly and only know how to hunt for treasures? Now that it's time to see the results, they know how to regret it?"

The moment she heard that,

Lan Tianhua's anger flared up, and she clenched her fists as she prepared to argue with Dongfang Mo.

"Tianhua, calm down!"

Luo Xiaoyi hurriedly stepped in front of her. A bitter smile tugged at his lips as he persuaded her,

"Once you and Ziyao take part in the God Road Trial, you'll definitely complete the Holy Dragon evolution too."

"As for treasures and Soul Bones, we'll help you find them in the future as well."

"Isn't that right, Dongfang?"

As he spoke,

he shot Dongfang Mo a pleading look.

Dongfang Mo merely snorted when he saw it. He ignored Luo Xiaoyi and quickly walked to the side.

Countless living beings looked at the Sky Screen in utter horror,

and could not help crying out in alarm,

"How exactly does this Star Dragon Sanctuary train its disciples? First there was a quasi-god with nine hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, and now there's a Soul Emperor with six ten-thousand-year Soul Rings..."

"With six ten-thousand-year Soul Rings as a foundation, this kid will at least reach the realm of a Super Douluo in the future, right?"

"These rewards are getting more outrageous with each one! A Martial Soul evolving into a Holy Dragon, plus two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!"

All Living Beings could not help feeling apprehensive.

Even the fourth-ranked prodigy received such a tremendous reward.

Then what about the prodigies ranked in the top three? Could the Sky Screen directly reward them with Divine Positions?

Shrek Academy,

inside the Sea God Pavilion's meeting room.

Only Mu En, Xuan Zi, and Du Busi, who had just arrived, were in the meeting room.

Three of the most powerful experts of the present age had gathered together.

This was also the first time an outsider had been allowed into the Sea God Pavilion's meeting room.

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat subtle.

A moment later,

the meeting room door was pushed open.

Yan Shaozhe walked in, bowed slightly to the three of them, and said,

"Teacher, Elder Xuan, Sect Master Du, he has arrived."

After saying that,

Yan Shaozhe shifted slightly to the side.

The three looked toward the doorway and saw a lean figure walk in. It was none other than the Child of Destiny who had appeared on the Sky Screen earlier—

Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao entered the room and swept his gaze across the three elders present, his heart tightening slightly.

Mu En and Xuan Zi were both familiar faces.

Only the green-haired elder seated opposite him was someone Yan Shaozhe had told him about on the way here.

He was the Body Sect's sect master, the Rank 98 Super Douluo, Du Busi!

"Not a bad kid."

Du Busi sized Huo Yuhao up a few times. His tone was unexpectedly gentle as he said,

"I won't beat around the bush. I trust your teacher has already explained things to you."

"I am Du Busi, sect master of the Body Sect. No one in this world understands Body Martial Souls better than we do."

"You possess a Body Martial Soul, so you can naturally be considered one of the Body Sect. Now I ask you: are you willing to enter my sect and become my disciple?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao froze.

He had never expected the Body Sect's sect master to be so direct.

After all,

he had only just severed his connection to the Tang Family's destiny.

He had stepped out of Tang San's chessboard, and their retaliation would likely follow.

The Body Sect's sect master was extending an olive branch now. Was he not afraid of offending Tang San?

"I..."

Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes, deeply conflicted.

He truly had intentions toward the Body Sect and wished to learn the method of evolving a Body Martial Soul.

Yet he was even more reluctant to leave the academy.

Although Tang San was no decent person, Shrek Academy's kindness toward him had been real.

If the entire Body Sect were to suffer Tang San's wrath because of him,

that would truly be a loss that outweighed any gain.

Mu En and Xuan Zi exchanged a glance. Both of them saw through Huo Yuhao's concerns.

Mu En chuckled softly and said calmly,

"What God King Tang has done has already been exposed to the world. People of the God Realm cannot interfere with the lower realm."

"Based on Xuan Zi's and my calculations, the other enforcers of the God Realm may step forward because of this and stop Tang San."

"So you need not worry about implicating anyone. Simply follow your heart. Even if you join the Body Sect, you will still remain a disciple of Shrek Academy."

"Elder Mu is right."

Xuan Zi nodded as well and added,

"If you can develop better, the academy will only be happy for you."

With the two of them making it so clear, Huo Yuhao naturally understood what they meant.

He deeply clasped his fists toward Du Busi in salute. "This student is willing to join the Body Sect!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Du Busi said "good" three times in a row, his face full of gratified smiles.

He rose and walked over to Huo Yuhao, patting his shoulder firmly as he said,

"From today onward, you are a core disciple of my Body Sect!"

"Later, I will personally teach you the introductory secret method for Body Martial Souls."

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

Huo Yuhao clasped his fists again, a determined glint flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, smiles appeared on the faces of Mu En, Xuan Zi, and Du Busi.

Huo Yuhao's willingness to join the Body Sect meant that Shrek Academy and the Body Sect now shared a bond.

Whether they faced the Holy Spirit Cult, the Star Dragon Sanctuary, or other unforeseen variables, they would no longer be so passive.

Du Busi nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Mu En and said,

"Dragon God Douluo, now that we have formed an alliance, shouldn't your academy deal with that Daughter of the Sea God as soon as possible?"

At those words,

a trace of complexity immediately flashed through Mu En's profound eyes.

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said,

"No. Tang Wutong knows nothing of her father's schemes. We have no reason to expel her."

"However, concealing her gender did indeed violate academy rules. Give her a major demerit..."

Seeing this,

Xuan Zi and Du Busi could only nod silently.

Although Mu En hated Tang San deeply,

he still showed some leniency in deciding how to handle Tang Wutong.

After all, she came from the Clear Sky Sect.

The academy had to give the Clear Sky Sect this measure of respect.

Just as the three finished speaking,

the image on the golden scroll changed once more.

For a moment, countless living beings turned their gazes to the Sky Screen, awaiting the revelation of third place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking.

[Ding!]

[Third place on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, Star Dragon Sanctuary—Bainuo!]
