The Use of a Chance to Act

Yu Wuyi merely smiled and let Xuanzi speculate as he pleased.

As long as there was no sufficient proof, he would definitely submit a commission request.

"Then, what is the price of the first commission?"

The first commission concerned the other party's identity.

Since it was related to Shrek Academy, he truly needed to know, so long as the price was within what he could bear.

Shrek Academy actually had a powerhouse he did not know about?

"It's simple. I only need one opportunity for Senior Xuanzi to make a move, provided it does not violate your principles."

"Just that?"

Xuanzi was somewhat surprised. This price was far better than he had expected.

"Then how do I make this commission request?"

It was his first time doing this, and he had no idea what the procedure was.

"Just press your thumb on the lower-right corner of the commission. Either hand will do."

It was the same standard procedure as before.

Once it was done, the commission document floated into Yu Wuyi's hand and scattered into motes of light.

He did not keep them in suspense and said directly, "Senior Xuanzi, have you heard of Long Xiaoyao?"

Xuanzi abruptly rose to his feet, his eyes filled with shock.

Of course he knew that name. It belonged to Long Xiaoyao, the Dark Holy Dragon Dragon Emperor Douluo, who stood alongside the Light Holy Dragon Dragon God Douluo Mu En as one of the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons!

He had even met him in his early years, but for some unknown reason, Long Xiaoyao had later vanished without a trace!

He never expected to hear that name spoken by someone else now. And judging from the traces left by that battle—

There was no doubt that, like Elder Mu, Long Xiaoyao had broken through to the level of an Ultimate Douluo, and was still secretly active to this day!

Rather than being related to Shrek Academy, he was more closely connected to Mu En.

But the most important question now was what Long Xiaoyao was doing, and which faction he belonged to.

The impact an Ultimate Douluo could bring was far greater than that of an ordinary sect.

"Then why did Shopkeeper Yu clash with Long Xiaoyao in such a battle?"

He did not believe Yu Wuyi would start a war with an Ultimate Douluo for no reason, nor did he believe Long Xiaoyao would casually fight someone in a battle powerful enough to alter the environment.

Yet Yu Wuyi answered with an action.

He gestured toward the other commission.

It was the commission Xuanzi had just asked about concerning evil soul masters.

Could it be...

An absurd thought emerged in Xuanzi's mind. Could Long Xiaoyao, the Dragon Emperor Douluo, actually be connected to evil soul masters?

Could he even be on the same side as the evil soul master faction?

The emergence of an Ultimate Douluo among evil soul masters would be terrifying, but it would also explain why evil soul masters had recently become so rampant.

Was the amount of information he had inferred already this enormous...?

Xuanzi's head began to ache. He had never been someone who liked thinking.

Normally, such matters were left to the others in Sea God's Pavilion. Every day, all he needed to do was eat chicken legs, drink wine, steadily improve his strength, and serve as a deterrent.

He had only come this time to see what was going on with that energy fluctuation.

Who would have thought it would directly involve such a massive secret?

Originally, both of these questions fell into the category of things he could learn if possible, but would not be a big deal if he did not.

That the Ultimate Douluo Long Xiaoyao was still alive was fine—merely very surprising.

That evil soul masters were becoming rampant and seemed to have formed an organization was also fine, since evil soul masters had difficulty achieving anything great with their own abilities.

But if these two things were connected, then it was not fine at all!

It meant that the evil soul master organization very likely had an Ultimate Douluo like Long Xiaoyao backing it!

"Then, Shopkeeper Yu, what is the price of the second commission?"

Xuanzi held his head. How had a single trip so far from home turned into such a huge matter?

Seeing him like this, Yu Wuyi secretly found it amusing. This is only the beginning.

There were only three Ultimate Douluos on the continent, and Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui occupied all three spots.

On top of that, the relationship between those three was unbelievably complicated—a massive, twisted romance in the making.

"The second one is also simple. I only need one opportunity for Senior Mu En to make a move, and likewise, it will not violate Senior Mu En's principles."

This time, Xuanzi hesitated. It was not because the request was difficult; based on his understanding of Elder Mu, even if Elder Mu himself were here, he would probably agree.

What he was considering more was why Yu Wuyi needed their chance to make a move.

Whether he only wanted his chance to act or only wanted Elder Mu's could be easily explained.

But wanting both of their chances at the same time was somewhat thought-provoking.

Yu Wuyi was in no hurry at all, merely watching him quietly.

He could roughly guess what Xuanzi was thinking.

But in truth, there was no profound scheme or long-term plan behind his demand for this chance to act.

Well, that was not entirely true. He had indeed intended that at first, because back then, his strength had still been limited to that of a Super Douluo.

But now, this chance to act had only one purpose.

That was to find a way to trap Tang San's spiritual avatar once it descended.

Then let these people take turns sneaking up on him with clubs! Let Tang San experience a beating from Douluo Continent!

He had even come up with the reason for having them act when the time came. He would say that this spiritual avatar was an enemy from beyond the realm, and that the Odd Jobs House, bound by the rules and order of the universe, had no choice but to apprehend it.

But the locals of the invaded world could attack the invader without restraint, so they needed their help!

You got angry after looking at me once, and showed killing intent after looking again?

Then I'll make you explode after one more look!

Xuanzi was still pondering. Although he understood Elder Mu, it was ultimately inappropriate to make decisions on someone else's behalf.

"Alright."

At that moment, a voice Xuanzi had never expected appeared.

He turned toward the door and saw a kind-faced, stooped old man slowly walking in.

He pressed his fingerprint onto the commission form.

"Elder Mu, why are you here?"

Xuanzi was dumbfounded. Hadn't he merely been sent out to observe? Why had the man himself come in person?

Yu Wuyi served a cup of hot tea and placed it before Mu En.

In fact, as early as when Xuanzi accepted the first commission, he had noticed Mu En appearing near the Odd Jobs House. This was Acheron's sensory ability.

Although he had not transformed, it was similar to how, after transforming into Firefly outside the shop before, he had been unable to change back.

During a commission, Yu Wuyi could transform into Acheron at any time, and even when he had not transformed, he possessed a certain degree of sensory ability.

It was precisely for this reason that he had changed the price of the second commission to this.

While speaking with Xuanzi, Yu Wuyi had also relayed their conversation to Mu En.

This was a method of using spiritual power, likewise derived from Acheron.

It had to be said that the system was extremely meticulous in this regard, allowing him to replace Acheron's willpower and memories with equivalent spiritual power at any time.

After all, things like spiritual attacks existed in the Douluo world. Without powerful spiritual power, it was easy to be caught off guard.

"Then, Senior Mu En, based on your understanding of Long Xiaoyao, do you think he would join the Evil Soul Master faction?"
