Background / History
Family and adoption
Du Busi is the younger brother of Du Bisou. Mu En killed his elder brother, leaving Du Busi with a longstanding desire for revenge that he initially lacked the strength to fulfill 100.
He found Ye Chen as a child and brought him to the Body Sect after noticing his unusually bright eyes. He intended to train the boy whether or not he awakened a Body Martial Soul. Ye Chen became his second disciple and was doted on by the sect’s members 5 7.
Before the sect’s displacement through time, Du Busi had already encountered Di Tian and participated in the Body Sect’s struggle against a beast tide 44.
Displacement into the past
Ye Chen’s Martial Soul awakening triggers Spacetime Turbulence, transporting the Body Sect, its mountain, and its inhabitants roughly ten thousand years into the past. Du Busi leaves Golden Body Douluo to stabilize the sect and takes Ye Chen to investigate. His immediate concern is the boy’s health rather than assigning blame for the disaster 1.
After learning that Ye Chen has inherited the God of Space’s legacy, Du Busi views him as a possible means of returning home. Discovering the era’s poor understanding of Body Martial Souls also gives him an opportunity to recruit disciples using the sect’s Second Awakening method 1 2.
Immortal Herbs and seclusion
Outside Notting City, Tang Hao demands that Ye Chen acknowledge Tang San as his master. Du Busi treats this as an insult to himself and the Body Sect and attacks. Tang Hao survives by detonating all nine Soul Rings and using his hammer strike as an escape feint 2 3.
Ye Chen redirects Du Busi toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well rather than immediately pursuing Tang Hao. There, Du Busi intimidates Dugu Bo into surrendering his herb garden and secures its Immortal Herbs for the sect. He chooses the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum for his breakthrough and receives the poison-amplifying Snow Colored Swan Kiss from Ye Chen 3 4 5.
After helping Ye Chen obtain his first two Soul Rings, Du Busi enters seclusion and entrusts his disciple to Golden Body Douluo. Over the following six years, he reaches Level 99 while the sect gains additional high-level experts 6 7 13.
Appearance
After reaching Level 99, Du Busi appears approximately thirty to forty years old, noticeably younger than when Tang Hao first encountered him 23.
- Build: Broad shoulders, a thick back, sharply defined muscles, and an upright posture 23.
- Face: A gleaming bald head, hard facial lines, and a sharply defined jaw in his post-breakthrough appearance 23.
- Skin: Dark bronze under normal conditions 23.
- Eyes: A restrained, blade-like intensity that makes his gaze feel threatening 23.
- Martial Soul Avatar: Dark, inky-green skin covered in flowing poison patterns, with green hair extending toward his neck. His transformed body resembles a statue cast from poisonous bronze 35 77.
Personality
Du Busi’s defining trait is fierce partiality toward his own people. He raises Ye Chen as a son, gives him freedom to act with the Body Sect’s backing, and is willing to challenge powerful sects and divine representatives to protect him. His affection is not conditional on Ye Chen’s talent: he planned to train him before knowing what Martial Soul he would awaken 5 7 77.
That loyalty coexists with extreme ruthlessness toward enemies. During the Clear Sky Sect campaign, he explicitly states that he keeps his word only to his own people, cancels further opportunities to bargain, and orders the sect destroyed and its treasury seized. He likewise refuses Mu En’s offer to settle their conflict through a personal duel while sparing Shrek Academy 53 100 101.
Despite his arrogance, Du Busi recognizes practical limits. He pursues Level 99 because his earlier strength is insufficient to reliably confront Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, delegates Ye Chen’s protection while managing the sect, and admits that his disciple’s understanding of space exceeds his own. Ye Chen also considers him hopeless at romance, making Lovesick Heartbreak Red unsuitable for him 3 4 55 58.
Abilities & Skills
Body Martial Soul
Du Busi’s Martial Soul is his own body. He has mastered golden-grade Body Martial Soul secret techniques and knows the sect’s method for unlocking Body Martial Souls through a Second Awakening 2 4.
- Uses overwhelming physical and Soul Power pressure to suppress powerful Soul Beasts 6.
- Activates his Martial Soul Avatar through his seventh Soul Ring, turning his body into a continuous source of poison 35 77.
- In Avatar form, his surrounding poisonous mist is described as a bodily instinct that requires neither a separate Soul Skill nor deliberate control 35.
- His strength does not originate from a Divine Trial or service to a god 35 77.
Body Poison Mist and Natal Poison
Du Busi’s poison corrodes flesh, meridians, organs, terrain, and opposing manifestations of energy. The Snow Colored Swan Kiss strengthens it to a level described as godly, without making Du Busi himself a deity 23 37 77.
- Internal poisoning: Releases poison inside Tang Hao’s body, destroying his organs and meridians and preventing him from using Soul Power 23.
- City-wide deterrence: Covers Spirit City with poison that threatens nearly everyone except Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong 37.
- Soul Beast suppression: Heavily wounds the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python so prospective Body Sect elders can finish them 44.
- Precise withdrawal: Removes poison to preserve the quality of harvested Soul Bones or spare a defeated opponent 37 44.
- Limit: Expertise in inflicting poison does not make him a detoxification specialist; he defers Dugu Bo’s inherited poison problem to Ye Chen 5.
Eighth Soul Skill: Death Feast
Death Feast is a hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill that releases a massive corrosive poison attack. It is identified as Du Busi’s strongest area-of-effect strike during his first battle with Tang Hao 2.
- Devastates the outskirts of Notting City during the clash with Tang Hao’s Ring Detonation 3.
- Corrodes stone and forces Bibi Dong backward, injuring her despite her defensive efforts 35.
- Can leave persistent Body Poison after destroying its target 39.
- Ye Chen copies it through Void Reflection using a drop of Du Busi’s blood; the copied attack consumes eighty percent of Ye Chen’s Soul Power during its first test 39.
Ninth Soul Skill: Yellow Springs Jade Starfall
Du Busi creates an emerald curtain overhead and rains poisonous beams onto a targeted area 36 77.
- Bombards Bibi Dong while she is trapped within his Poison Domain 36.
- Spans dozens of li during his battle with Bo Saixi, contaminating the surrounding sea 77.
- Poisons Mu En, though Holy Light Dragon Breath counters much of the initial attack 101.
Spatial Soul Core
Du Busi’s Spatial Soul Core develops from laws encountered during the Spacetime Turbulence. It forms part of his Yin-Yang Complementary dual-core configuration 22 35.
- Long-distance teleportation: Travels from the Body Sect to intercept Tang Hao near Suotuo City 22 23.
- Spatial distortion: Splits Bo Saixi’s giant divine hand and breaks her spatial water vortex 77.
- Regeneration suppression: Stretches the routes between fragments of Bibi Dong’s body, delaying her reconstruction while poison corrodes them 36.
- Defense: Layers three spatial barriers against Mu En’s Golden Ancient Tree-enhanced sword attack, although the strike penetrates them and wounds him 101.
- Spatial traversal: Follows Ye Chen through spatial crevices by reproducing his movements 55.
- Limit: His spatial comprehension is inferior to Ye Chen’s; he acknowledges that his disciple’s future teleportation range will surpass his own 55.
The stated teleportation range varies between passages:
| Passage | Stated Range | Context |
|---|---|---|
| 22 23 | Five hundred li | His arrival from the Body Sect, slightly over four hundred li from Suotuo City. |
| 55 | Five hundred kilometers | Du Busi’s description of his maximum single teleportation distance. |
Poison Domain
Du Busi combines his Poison Domain with spatial control to trap an opponent in poisonous mist and force continuous defensive expenditure 36.
- Appears beneath Bibi Dong without warning 36.
- Works with Yellow Springs Jade Starfall and spatial separation to counter her Undying Body 36.
- Can be withdrawn together with the spatial energy sustaining his suppression 37.
Self-Created Soul Skill: Ten Thousand Poisons as One
Du Busi compresses his accumulated poison into a fingernail-sized core of dark-green light and fires it as a concentrated attack 102.
- Uses spatial pressure to lock onto Mu En before launching the poison 102.
- Combines with Xiao Bai’s Cold Abyss Roar, carrying Natal Poison within an Ultimate Ice assault 102.
- The combined attack fatally wounds Mu En after Xiao Bai’s spatial Divine Power bypasses the Golden Ancient Tree’s defenses 102 103.
- Du Busi’s poison alone is explicitly insufficient to overcome that protection 102.
Mentorship and Sect Leadership
- Selects suitable Soul Beasts, supervises dangerous ring absorption, and personally tests Ye Chen’s new abilities 5 6.
- Assigns multiple Titled Douluo as Ye Chen’s guards and adjusts their deployment when Snow Empress assumes his protection 13 41.
- Recruits Body Martial Soul users through outside contacts such as Dugu Bo 4.
- Sends sect experts into Slaughter City in batches to obtain Divine Slaughter’s Domain 41 45 58.
- Uses hostile Titled Douluo as combat-training opponents for Ye Chen before completing the Clear Sky Sect’s destruction 50 53.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum — Chosen for its compatibility with his Body Martial Soul and its capacity to strengthen his physique and support his Level 99 breakthrough 3 4.
- Snow Colored Swan Kiss — Given to him by Ye Chen; amplifies toxins hundreds or thousands of times and enables his godly poison deterrent 5 37.
- Communication token — Allows Ye Chen to contact and summon him within five hundred li; its sensing ability weakens with distance 24.
- Tang Hao’s seven Soul Bones — Retrieved after killing Tang Hao. Du Busi subsequently delivers one non-hundred-thousand-year bone to Zhao Tieshan 23 24.
Relationships

- Qian Renxue — Ye Chen’s wife and an ally whose grievances Du Busi treats as the Body Sect’s own 101.
- Snow Empress — Fellow protector of Ye Chen and later identified by Du Busi as his disciple’s wife. He defends her against Spirit Hall and accepts her as an ally despite her Soul Beast identity 41 68 103.

- Xiao Bai — Allied Limit Douluo who calls him “Grandmaster” and helps him overcome Mu En’s Golden Ancient Tree-enhanced defenses 101 102.
- Tang Hao — Enemy whose repeated attacks on Ye Chen lead to his death by Du Busi’s poison 2 23 50.
- Bibi Dong — Enemy punished for targeting Ye Chen. Du Busi spares her only after Qian Daoliu intervenes 35 36 37.
