How could someone with Level 1 Innate Soul Power cultivate at the same speed as someone with Level 9 Innate Soul Power?
He was even faster than Dai Huabin, who had Level 9 Innate Soul Power.
He didn't believe it!
Dai Huabin gritted his teeth as he stared at Huo Yuhao, who sat beside the Snow Empress.
Dai Hao faced Du Busi's gaze and said, "I've brought them here. Du Busi, I have just one question for you: will you still cause trouble for our White Tiger Duke's Mansion?"
Du Busi grinned when he heard that. "That depends on whether your White Tiger Duke's Mansion knows how to behave."
Dai Hao's gaze darkened slightly. Facing the pressure of a Level 98 Super Douluo was already his limit.
Du Busi's words made Dai Hao take a small step back.
"You!"
He wanted to say something, but swallowed the words when they reached his lips.
Dai Huabin and the duchess looked terrible.
Their father and husband, who usually threw his weight around at home, had no face at all before Du Busi.
Dai Hao took a deep breath and said coldly, "If you have nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Du Busi said impatiently, "Go on, go on. The farther away you go, the better. The Body Sect never welcomed you in the first place."
Dai Hao clenched his fists, but could only swallow the humiliation.
He turned and left without a single word of concern for Dai Huabin or the duchess.
In Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.
Electrolux asked, "Well, Yuhao? Have you learned all the Necromancy your teacher taught you?"
Huo Yuhao answered respectfully, "Elder Yi, this disciple has memorized all the Necromancy you taught me."
"I just don't have a good grasp of it when using it for the first time."
Electrolux nodded slightly. "Leave the matter of experience and control to this old man. You only need to experience the mysteries of Necromancy for yourself."
Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly. The thought of what he was about to do filled him with excitement.
The Snow Empress sent Du Busi a message through Soul Power, telling him that Huo Yuhao could put Necromancy into practice.
Du Busi said that with this old man here, as long as Huo Yuhao wanted it, even turning Dai Huabin and the duchess into undead would be no problem.
After Dai Hao left.
Xuan Zi arrived as Shrek's representative.
But to Du Busi's surprise, Xuan Zi wasn't the only one who had come.
Shrek's dean, Yan Shaozhe, and his disciple Ma Xiaotao had come as well.
The moment they saw Yan Shaozhe and Ma Xiaotao, the expressions of Du Busi, Huo Yuhao, and the Snow Empress gradually grew grave.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the Ice Empress stared at Ma Xiaotao, fuming.
"Why did she come too?!"
Du Busi asked in a low voice, "Xuan Zi, what does Shrek mean by this?"
Yan Shaozhe took a step forward and said with a composed bearing, "Exactly what it looks like. Du Busi, I need to make a deal with you."
"A deal that will let Shrek and the Body Sect cooperate to both our benefit."
Du Busi frowned slightly and brought his palm down on the armrest. It instantly shattered into chunks of stone, the sound echoing through the sect's main hall.
"Impudent!"
"I was asking Xuan Zi. How does a junior like you have the gall to interrupt?!"
That roar brought a tremendous pressure crashing straight into the depths of Ma Xiaotao's soul; her strength was comparatively weaker.
Her Soul Power seemed to have been pinned in place by something. No matter how she tried, she couldn't circulate it.
Yan Shaozhe regarded Du Busi, Huo Yuhao, and the Snow Empress with hostility.
He had come here today to use either Huo Yuhao's or the Snow Empress's Ultimate Ice to completely purify Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire.
Therefore, he only needed to provoke Huo Yuhao and the Snow Empress.
He said, "Old thing, the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife you want is in my hands, Yan Shaozhe’s."
An exquisite wooden box emerged from Yan Shaozhe's Storage Soul Tool and landed in his palm.
Yan Shaozhe held the hand bearing the wooden box out toward Du Busi and the other two.
Inside the box lay a carving knife no thicker than a finger.
The carving knife lay quietly in the wooden box. From bottom to top, its body tapered from wide to narrow, ending in a sharp-looking tip. It was plain and black overall, with special patterns carved into its surface.
In the Sea of Consciousness.
Electrolux immersed himself in the sensation of death and curses emanating from the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife's blade.
Yes, that was it-that familiar scent.
Huo Yuhao calmly watched the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife lying in the wooden box in Yan Shaozhe's hand.
"Now it's returning to its rightful owner." He stretched out a hand, and frost immediately spread across Huo Yuhao's palm.
Thin strands of Ultimate Ice poured from his palm. Threads of ice formed from the Ultimate Ice floated into the air, scattering snow and ice all along their path.
The temperature in the sect's main hall plummeted.
Yan Shaozhe watched the threads formed from Ultimate Ice warily.
The threads drifted beneath the wooden box in his palm. Frost formed underneath it, and the box floated toward Huo Yuhao.
"What an amazing ability. A Soul Grandmaster can even retrieve things from a distance," Ma Xiaotao exclaimed as she watched what Huo Yuhao had done.
The wooden box containing the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife landed in Huo Yuhao's palm.
Just then, a long-unheard voice sounded in Huo Yuhao's mind.
[Ding!] [Host detected intercepting the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife. Reward obtained: Eye of Life] [Materialization of the Sea of Consciousness (opens up a small world, a small world in the truest sense), Seed of Nature] [The above will be obtained after the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife has been purified]
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on the Seed of Nature.
The Seed of Nature was an important item that allowed Tang Wulin to become the Child of Nature in The Legend of the Dragon King.
He hadn't expected the system to give him this item ahead of time.
Child of Nature...
With that status, did it mean Plant-type Soul Beasts and Martial Souls couldn't cause me any harm?
Materialization of the Sea of Consciousness...
This reward was somewhat useful to the Ice Empress, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and Electrolux.
But it had no immediately apparent use to him. Since the system could give him the materialization of his Sea of Consciousness, that meant it would be useful later on.
Du Busi glanced at the wooden box in Huo Yuhao's hand and nodded in satisfaction.
He looked at Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Ma Xiaotao and said coldly, "The Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife is in our hands. You can get lost now."
Yan Shaozhe was in no hurry to leave. He looked coldly at Du Busi. "Don't be in such a hurry, Sect Master Du."
"We didn't come all this way just to give you compensation."
"You caused Shrek losses, so naturally we've come to claim them back."
"In exchange, my demand is simple: have Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao enter a marriage alliance!"
Those words confirmed Du Busi's suspicions.
He had long heard that Yan Shaozhe was an old fox, but seeing him once was worth hearing about him a hundred times!
He really had the nerve to ask-he must be tired of living.
At those words, the Snow Empress's breathtakingly beautiful face seemed like a vast expanse of ice; anyone who came near would be frozen.
Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness had long since become a world of ice and snow.
"I knew that old fox had nothing good to fart out!"
