With that, Yun Luo turned and walked over to Du Busi.
Watching Yun Luo return to his side, Du Busi's mouth twitched.
He had never expected this brat to be such a show-off. He really had misjudged him.
But this is good too. This is how the Holy Son of my Body Sect should be, fearing no one.
"Since no one has stepped forward to challenge him, Yun Luo will be the Holy Son of our Body Sect from now on."
With that, Du Busi vanished.
"Jin Peng, handle the rest. I'm going to the sect treasury."
"Yes, Sect Master. Leave it to me."
Hearing Du Busi's mental transmission, Jin Peng answered respectfully, then rose and came to stand before Yun Luo, looking at everyone below.
He first offered some words of encouragement, then dismissed everyone.
Once he heard that the sect ceremony was over, Yun Luo breathed a sigh of relief, left the martial training grounds, and returned to his residence.
"Ugh, I'm exhausted."
After returning to his residence, Yun Luo lay straight down on his bed and muttered to himself.
His fight with Long Aotian had looked easy, but unleashing a hundred-thousand-year soul skill as a Soul Emperor had still consumed too much Soul Power.
Moreover, if his spiritual power had not reached the late Spirit Sea Realm, he would not have been able to use that soul skill at all.
His sixth soul skill, Confinement Prison Captive Eyes, could only drag an opponent into an illusion if his spiritual power exceeded theirs.
If his opponent's spiritual power was about equal to his, this soul skill could not even last ten seconds.
If there had not been two Soul Douluos among the evil soul masters hunting him back then, he could have fought his way out with his sixth soul skill, Illusory Hell Imprisoning Eye.
He could only blame himself for going softhearted back then. Seeing people being carried off by evil soul masters, he had thought he could save them, only to fall into an ambush.
Recalling what he had said on the martial training grounds, Yun Luo was so embarrassed he could almost have dug out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.
He had no idea whether his brain had cramped up at the time, making him blurt out those words.
"That was so cringe."
"But I've achieved my goal."
Yun Luo had done this to show the Body Sect's younger generation just how powerful he was.
Defeating the strongest of the Body Sect's younger generation in an instant was the best proof.
Yun Luo had not been lying down for long when a knock came at the door.
"Senior Du, is there something you need me for?"
After opening the door, Yun Luo looked at Du Busi standing outside and asked in some confusion.
"I'm here to deliver your resources. These are what you are entitled to as the Holy Son."
As he spoke, Du Busi handed over the storage soul-tool ring in his hand.
"Thank you, Senior Du."
"Tsk, you're the Holy Son of our Body Sect now. Calling me Senior isn't appropriate anymore. Call me Sect Master from now on."
Hearing Yun Luo's form of address, Du Busi clicked his tongue.
"All right, Sect Master."
"Mm. Go cultivate, then. I still have matters to attend to."
"Wait, Sect Master."
Just as Du Busi was about to leave, Yun Luo called him back.
"What is it, brat? Something else?"
Hearing Yun Luo's words, Du Busi stopped and turned to look at him in confusion.
"Yes, Sect Master. There's something I'd like you to help me look into."
"Oh? What is it?"
"A person. His name is Huo Yuhao, and he's from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."
"But please don't interfere with him while looking into him."
After Yun Luo finished speaking, he felt no overwhelming pressure descend upon him and breathed a sigh of relief.
"System, I'll never be able to repay your kindness."
"Mm, understood."
"I'll send someone right away."
Seeing Yun Luo's serious expression, Du Busi knew this person might be important. He nodded, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
A day later, Du Busi came to Yun Luo's room again, bringing news of Huo Yuhao.
"Brat, the information you wanted on Huo Yuhao is here."
Du Busi had been very disappointed when he received the information.
It was worlds apart from when he had first heard about him.
When he had learned of this, he had sent a Titled Douluo who was in the sect at the time to the Star Luo Empire.
Yet the result had disappointed him greatly. Having read through the entire report, he had found nothing outstanding.
The only thing worth mentioning was that his Martial Soul was Spirit Eyes.
This was because the disparity he felt after meeting Yun Luo had led Du Busi to measure everyone with the same Martial Soul against Yun Luo's talent.
"Thank you, Sect Master."
Looking at the information Du Busi held out, Yun Luo reached for it and began reading.
Yun Luo saw that Huo Yuhao was already twelve years old and had yet to leave the Duke's Mansion.
Delight filled Yun Luo's eyes.
This proved that the plot had not yet begun.
All the opportunities that belonged to Huo Yuhao ought to be his.
"Hey, brat, have you lost your mind?"
"Can't you hear what I'm saying to you?"
Only upon hearing Du Busi's words did Yun Luo return from his thoughts and look at him.
"It's nothing, Sect Master. What did you just say?"
"I said that this person's talent is so poor. The only thing about him that catches my eye is his Body Martial Soul."
"Sect Master, I can't say much more. Just have that person keep an eye on him. If he plans to leave the Duke's Mansion, let me know."
"All right. I'll tell him."
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving."
"Yes, Sect Master. I'd like you to bring the sect's two strongest Titled Douluos and accompany me to the Extreme North."
"What, brat? Do you want me to wipe out the Extreme North?"
Hearing Yun Luo's words, Du Busi spoke jokingly.
"Of course not. We're only going to make a deal with the Ice Emperor, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North."
"???"
"Brat, has a fever scrambled your brains?"
"I know you're someone from the future, but don't think you can make deals with fierce beasts."
Du Busi looked at Yun Luo before him, his eyes full of shock.
"Sect Master, I'm not joking. I'm confident."
The first reason Yun Luo planned to seek out the Ice Emperor first was that she was currently the one he felt most confident he could persuade to join him.
The second was to lay plans for the Skydream Iceworm.
Say I went to the Star Dou Great Forest with Huo Yuhao to find the Skydream Iceworm. If Huo Yuhao's protagonist halo kicked in, wouldn't I end up with one less cheat?
But as long as I bring the Ice Emperor along, that simp Skydream will definitely come scampering over and choose me.
"All right, I'll take the gamble. When do we leave?"
Du Busi took a deep breath. Seeing Yun Luo's supremely confident expression, he gritted his teeth.
After all, if three of the Body Sect's top experts left and someone attacked, it would spell utter disaster.
Had Du Busi not trusted Yun Luo, he would never have agreed to this.
"In three days."
"I need three days to prepare a few things."
"All right, I'll make the arrangements."
Du Busi nodded, turned, and left.
After watching Du Busi leave, Yun Luo walked over to the window. As he gazed at the gradually darkening sky outside, a trace of coldness flashed through his ice-blue eyes.
"Sorry, Huo Yuhao."
"I'll be taking the opportunities that belong to you."
