At the same time, Sun Moon Empire was high in the sky in the distance.
The two figures faced each other across the clouds. Neither one moved first, but just the collision of the two breaths between the clouds had already cleared a vacuum within hundreds of feet of Sky Manipulation.
The clouds higher up were torn into pieces by invisible forces and fled in all directions, revealing the clear sky behind them.
Xuan Zi is hanging in the clouds, his shabby gray robes are blown by the high air currents, and his disheveled hair is dancing wildly in the wind.
But he had no intention of caring about his own image at the moment, because all his attention was focused on the figure opposite.
The man stood with his hands behind his back, his posture calm, and his trademark long dark green hair spread behind him. His hair was not messed up in the wind, as if even the airflow did not dare to offend the tips of his hair.
His face was as rosy as a baby's, and his skin was so smooth that no trace of age could be seen.
If it weren't for the cold and sharp edge that can only be condensed after countless life-and-death battles in the depths of those eyes, no one would associate the man in front of him, who seemed to be in his prime, with the words "the top strong man in the world".
And he is Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Busi.
Level 98 Super Douluo, one of the pinnacles of Soul Master in the whole continent.
But what Xuan Zi sensed at this moment was a fact that made his heart sink slightly. The other party's aura was no weaker than his own.
It's even faintly stronger.
Although it is far from reaching the threshold of Level 99 Limit Douluo, there is a difference between Level 98 and Level 98.
"Thank you, Xuan Zi."
Du Busi was the first to speak, with a meaningful smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, but strangely, there was no gratitude in that smile, only unabashed ridicule and pride.
"When I met Soul Master, a genius with such outstanding talent, you Shrek did not choose to keep it to yourself, but informed us of the news. To a certain extent, Xuan Zi, you have helped me a lot."
When he said this, every word was like tasting a delicious dish.
He had already learned more about Xuan Zi's failure on Lu Ren through his own channels.
If Xuan Zi hadn't been locked up by that boy with a set of Martial Soul oaths, how could Shrek be willing to share this level of genius intelligence?
This is borrowing Body Sect's knife to cut one's own flesh.
It's a pity, Du Busi is happy to take this knife.
Xuan Zi looked heavy and snorted coldly.
"I didn't expect that it would be you, the old poisonous person, who took action in person."
"What if?"
Du Busi asked back, the sarcasm in his tone getting stronger.
He tilted his head slightly, and his long dark green hair fell down his shoulders as he moved. "This is Body Martial Soul of Brain. Brain is the most important organ in the human body. Now a genius of Brain Body Martial Soul has appeared. As the leader of the sect, why do I sit back and do nothing?"
He paused, and the coldness in the corner of his eyes flashed like a blade. "In addition, our Body Sect talents are withering, and there is still no candidate for the inheritance seed."
"Tell me, should I pay attention to it?"
Xuan Zi secretly thought something was wrong.
Misstep.
On Sea God Pavilion Meeting, why did Mu En just silently acquiesce to his plan without saying a word from beginning to end?
At the time, he thought it was tacit approval, but now that he thinks about it, it was Mu En trying to save face for him.
Not publicly vetoing a plan that is destined to go wrong is giving this old brother the final step.
Killing two birds with one stone turns into setting oneself on fire, killing someone with a borrowed knife turns into driving a tiger to devour a wolf.
Level 98's Super Douluo made such a low-level mistake in a top-level game. It was simply embarrassing and was thrown into the grandma's house.
"Isn't this Long Aotian enough to meet your inheritance requirements?"
Xuan Zi snorted in dissatisfaction and tried to find some place elsewhere.
"Fifteen-year-old Soul King, level 59, has also entered Heaven-Man Unity Realm. My dear, none of our Shreks have ever produced such a genius. You actually say that this Long Aotian is not qualified?"
Du Busi stood with his hands behind his back, his long dark green hair motionless behind him, and his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, as if what Xuan Zi said was nothing in his eyes.
"Then wasn't he knocked down by Lu Ren's punch?"
He spoke with a smile.
"This Lu Ren is really not simple. He is obviously the Soul Master of Spiritual System, but his physical body is so strong - it's interesting. He, I, Du Busi, have taken over, and no one can stop me."
Xuan Zi's pupils suddenly contracted.
At this moment, near the Alleyway where Lu Ren is located below, three Titled Douluo level auras are approaching quickly.
Those are the three Titled Douluo of ----Body Sect!
Body Sect How many people came this time?
Did they go out in full force for one Lu Ren?
Xuan Zi's eyes instantly turned red.
He clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles, and his whole body was shaking with anger.
He did something stupid again.
He far underestimated the importance Body Sect attached to Lu Ren.
In his opinion, if Body Sect knew the news, they would at most send a few Soul Douluo-level elders to rob him. When the time came, he Xuan Zi would step in to stop him, and he would beautifully act like a hero saving the genius, and naturally bring Lu Ren back to Shrek.
But he didn't expect that Du Busi would come in person.
Not only did he come in person, he also brought at least three Titled Douluo with him.
"It's a mistake, it's a mistake!"
Xuan Zi gritted his teeth, and the sound came out from between his teeth.
"Now, you better watch it honestly." Du Busi took in Xuan Zi's reaction, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little deeper, "This is Sun Moon Empire's territory. It is definitely not a wise move for you and me to take action here."
"What's more, these Soul Engineers are not vegetarians. You and I don't want to have dozens of Soul Tools pointed at our heads during a battle, right?"
He paused, licked the corners of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"What's more, even if we really take action, will you be my opponent?"
Xuan Zi was silent.
His chest heaved violently, and it felt like a hot stone was stuck in his throat.
He did not refute because what Du Busi said was true.
Du Busi's strength is something he knows only too well.
They have fought each other so many times, but they have always been overwhelmed by Du Busi.
Even if they are both Level 98, the gap is clearly there.
However, in the next moment, a gentle voice quietly sounded between the two of them, "Xuan Zi can't stop you, what about me?"
Du Busi's smile froze, and Xuan Zi's body shook violently.
A soft halo of light was released from behind the two people without warning.
The halo is not dazzling, showing a very light golden color, like the first ray of sunshine in the winter morning, warm and genial.
However, the speed of its spread seems to be slow but actually it is fast. In just one breath, it covers the entire airspace.
In front of this halo, the majestic momentum of Du Busi, like mountains, melted like ice and snow, disappearing completely in an instant.
The coercion in Sky Manipulation that even birds dared not approach also collapsed, as if it had never existed before.
Du Busi, who had always been imposing and had the absolute initiative from beginning to end, suddenly changed his expression.
"This, this is----"
His voice actually had a hint of trembling.
So thick Radiance Attribute!
"Immortal, I haven't seen you for many years. It seems that you have forgotten about me."
The kind voice sounded again.
The sound was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the high-altitude wind and the barrier of clouds, and seemed to spread directly over the entire sky.
Du Busi turned around suddenly, and behind him and Xuan Zi, an old figure was slowly walking out.
Level 99 Limit Douluo, Dragon God Douluo Mu En!
He stood so quietly above the clouds, like an ordinary old man leaning against the old tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the shade.
But there were beads of sweat on Du Busi's forehead.
"You, you are----"
How could he forget this face and this voice?
When his eldest brother was still alive, this old man was a big mountain weighing on the head of the entire Body Sect.
Decades later, he thought the mountain had collapsed long ago. The injuries from that battle were enough to make any Super Douluo hate him, but the mountain was still alive and standing in front of him.
"Mu En!"
Xuan Zi shouted in surprise.
Mu En came out of the mountain. He never dreamed that Dragon God Douluo, who had not left Shrek Academy for many years, would actually come in person.
But the next second, the surprise in Xuan Zi's heart faded away like an ebbing tide, replaced by a chill and guilt that surged up from the depths of his bones.
No one knows Mu En's physical condition better than him.
The old wounds left from that war, coupled with the erosion of time, have long since exhausted this Level 99 Limit Douluo's vitality.
He usually lies on the broken recliner at the door of the Sea God Pavilion, just to preserve the little life left.
And the reason why he had to go out today was all because of his Xuan Zi stupidity.
"I'm sorry, Mu En----"
Xuan Zi's voice was hoarse, as if he was using his last strength to squeeze these words out of his chest.
"It's all my problem, otherwise you wouldn't come here----"
"It doesn't matter."
Mu En waved his hand.
"I stayed at Shrek for so long that I thought no one knew me."
His tone was calm, but when he raised his hazy eyes and laid his gaze on Du Busi, the hairs all over Du Busi's body stood up.
"Immortality was given by your brother back then, and I still remember it fresh to this day."
"You and Brother Ling have exactly the same temper. Impulsiveness is the devil. If Brother Ling hadn't been impulsive at the time, perhaps he would still be alive now."
Du Busi's face turned completely gloomy.
The long dark green hair moved without any wind, and although the whole person's aura was suppressed by Mu En's pressure, he still refused to give in like a trapped beast.
He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "You're not dead yet!"
Mu En's tone was still as calm as water. "If I die, will you continue to bully us Shrek Academy?"
The moment these words fell, the strong golden light in the air suddenly flashed, like an invisible giant hammer striking Du Busi.
Du Busi's whole body trembled violently, his momentum weakened to the extreme at this moment, and his face that was originally as rosy as a baby finally showed a trace of paleness that should not belong to him.
This made him take a deep breath and suppress the fear and unwillingness in his heart.
Things couldn't get better today, but there was no way he could just watch Lu Ren being taken away by Shrek.
The genius of Brain Body Martial Soul is still Innate Full Soul Power, and the ability to knock down Long Aotian, who is above him and has a level 59 cultivation level with one punch--all these factors combined, what Lu Ren means to the Body Sect, outsiders will never understand.
"Dragon God Douluo, the first battle was more than just a battle of wills!"
Du Busi said coldly, "What's more, this child is not suitable for you at all Shrek! Don't rely on your old age to show off!"
Mu En's gaze fell on his face. There was no anger in the dim yellow eyes, only a calmness that saw through everything.
"Don't worry, this is the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, I won't mess around."
"In this way, I only give Xuan Zi ten minutes. If Xuan Zi fails to get Lu Ren to agree to join Shrek Academy within ten minutes, then I will take Xuan Zi away and I will no longer have anything to do with this matter."
"How?"
Du Busi was silent for a long time.
His long dark green hair rustled in the wind, covering half of his face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
But he was thinking quickly in his mind.
Ten minutes, a Level 98 Super Douluo, to convince a Soul King of a Level 50, or in other words, to catch a Soul King of a Level 50.
Everyone knows what the outcome will be.
This is not merciful at all!
After seeing through this, Du Busi said sarcastically, "For ten minutes, an elder with Level 98 cultivation is going to bully a junior with only Level 50 Soul King. You Shrek are really hypocritical to the extreme."
Ten minutes is enough for Xuan Zi to catch Lu Ren a hundred times, unless Lu Ren has special abilities or some other means to deal with Xuan Zi.
Mu En did not answer his words: "The choice is in your hands, not in ours."
Du Busi snorted angrily.
Does he have a choice?
If he refused, he didn't know whether Mu En would really not take action today, but he couldn't afford the gamble.
The eldest brother had all lost back then, and he didn't think he was an exception.
"Dragon God Douluo, even if you are still alive, I still don't believe that my elder brother didn't leave anything behind on you. I am no match for you, but if you want to kill me, the price you have to pay will definitely not be small!"
He paused, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"Shrek Academy's opponent is not just us Body Sect----hey."
Mu En's answer was still bland, "Stop talking nonsense and let me, a bad old man like me, watch the show here for ten minutes."
Du Busi snorted angrily and stopped talking.
He shook his long dark green hair hard and put his hands behind his back again, but in the depths of his eyes that were staring downward, there was an unconcealable anxiety.
Mu En nodded slightly, looked at Xuan Zi and said, "Xuan Zi, go ahead."
Xuan Zi nodded heavily.
He glanced at Du Busi with an almost ferocious look, and then his body turned into a stream of light and swooped down.
Ten minutes!
He only has ten minutes!
These ten minutes were earned for him by Mu En using his short lifespan and his old face that had suppressed Body Sect for decades.
No matter what method he uses, even if it is tied up, lied, or forced, he must make that kid nod within these ten minutes.
There was not even a moment to mourn the failure of Long Aotian. The next person who rushed to the battlefield was - Xuan Zi!
"Bang!!!"
Xuan Zi's feet hit the ground, and a ring of air waves exploded where it landed. Rubble splashed in all directions like a heavy rain.
Alleyway The brick walls on both sides were shaken so much that dust fell from the cracks in the wall.
He slowly straightened up, his shabby gray robe fluttering in the aftermath of the air waves, and his messy hair covering most of his face.
Xuan Zi slowly raised his head, two gleams of light burst out from his cloudy old eyes, staring straight at the black-haired boy not far away, who was being protected by three Body Sect Titled Douluo.
"Boy, I'm curious, what other methods do you have to deal with me now?"
There was no surprise when he saw it was Xuan Zi, Lu Ren. He raised his eyes with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.
"Three seniors, please take Long Aotian and leave first."
Lu Ren looked at the three Titled Douluo who were protecting him. "You are no match for Xuan Zi, let me do it."
The three Titled Douluo looked at him in surprise. They were indeed no match for Xuan Zi.
In front of Level 98 Super Douluo, Titled Douluo is usually just a bigger ant, and the three of them together can't last a few breaths.
But the young man in front of him only has Level 50. Can he be able to deal with it?
"Let's go." Lu Ren's voice was not high-pitched, but it carried a sense of confidence. "Don't worry, I will be fine. Xuan Zi is here to let me join Shrek, so he won't kill me."
"But that's not necessarily the case for you. As long as I'm still here, I'll be your Body Sect. If that's the case, what are you worried about?"
This sentence spoke directly into the hearts of three Titled Douluo.
The leader, Titled Douluo, patted Lu Ren hard on the shoulder, his voice hoarse and urgent: ""Little brother----you are right, be sure to delay, we will find a way to save you with the sect leader."
"Yes, you must be careful!"
Another person picked up the unconscious Long Aotian from the rubble.
The three of them reluctantly took one last look at Lu Ren, then stood up and flew away into the distance.
Xuan Zi looked at this scene, full of sarcasm. "Haha, no one from the Body Sect will protect you, are you still unwilling to join Shrek?"
Lu Ren didn't answer. He lowered his head and started preparing for the on-site loan.
His fourth Soul Ring is Fifty-Thousand-Year, which is the oldest and heaviest Soul Ring he currently has. It is also the trump card that he has never disclosed the specific price to anyone.
Now, it's time to use it.
"At the expense of never being able to use the fourth Soul Ring, the performance of Cursed Speech Cursed Technique will be improved by more than ten times. At the same time, each time Cursed Speech is used, it will suffer double the backlash penalty."
Binding Vow The moment he made the decision, Lu Ren knew----
Done!
The age of the fourth Soul Ring is too high, and Fifty-Thousand-Year is the most valuable of his four Soul Rings.
Precisely because it is expensive enough, coupled with the double backlash penalty, Cursed Speech has achieved a very significant performance improvement of Cursed Technique, which has increased by more than ten times!
The original Cursed Speech is already very strong and can even affect Soul Emperor and Soul Saint----
Even Soul Douluo can affect it.
What if it increases more than ten times?
The corners of Lu Ren's mouth raised slightly.
As for the double backlash punishment - with Reverse Cursed Technique here, a broken throat can be repaired, and a cracked Meridians can be repaired. What is the difference between this punishment and scratching an itch?
It can be said that the existence of Reverse Cursed Technique has greatly increased the upper limit of Lu Ren's use of Blood Manipulation and Cursed Speech!
These two are currently the best Cursed Technique for Lu Ren.
Xuan Zi saw Lu Ren lowering his head and saying nothing, thinking that this kid was finally scared out of his wits.
He laughed loudly, the laughter echoed in the empty Alleyway, and grabbed Lu Ren with his big hands. "Boy, follow me honestly, no one can protect you now!"
