Du Busi: You dared provoke someone from my Body Sect? Tired of living?

Where is Cheng Gang? Where did Cheng Gang go?

The summit of Star Luo Imperial City.

Xu Jiawei saw his sister approach Lu Cheng with a hopeful look in his eyes. He saw the boy from the Shrek Academy's rest area below shake his head, sighed helplessly, sat back down, and then, as if remembering something, looked around and frowned slightly.

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Duke Sect pondered, "It's said that Cheng Douluo has gone into seclusion. It seems that last night's events have clearly had a significant impact on him."

"Hmph, that's for the best." Xu Jiawei sneered.

They didn't call him an idiot or anything like that.

Even if that guy causes a huge mess, he'll still have to clean up the mess. The Star Luo Empire has invested heavily in cultivating a top-tier combatant at the Titled Douluo level. If Shrek Academy and other forces were to secretly kill him, it would be like cutting off a piece of flesh for the Star Luo Empire.

And at this moment.

Star Luo City, in a lush forest.

A frustrated figure stood rooted to the spot, looking around with considerable annoyance. "Who exactly are you, and what business do you have with me here?!"

He had already embarrassed himself terribly last night, and he was extremely annoyed.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, I was summoned to the outside of the city by a mysterious voice.

"Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to touch my men?" An old man, dressed in a long black robe and with a burly build, who showed no signs of abnormality, stood with his arms crossed, smiling as he sized up Cheng Gang.

"Your people? You're from the Shrek Academy?"

Cheng Gang's pupils suddenly contracted. Last night he messed with Lu Cheng, and today the powerful figures from the Shrek Academy came knocking on his door. That made perfect sense.

"No."

Du Busi chuckled and shook his head, "Guess."

"Heh." Cheng Gang sneered, cracked his neck, clenched his fists, and slammed them together with terrifying force, as if crushing the air.

With a sharp stomp of his toes, he shot out, a jet-black Soul Ring rising from the soles of his feet, his entire body covered in a hard, thick shell. His fist, carrying a sharp gust of wind, slammed towards Du Busi's cheek with lightning speed.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Du Busi Si laughed loudly, his eyes reflecting Cheng Gang's approaching figure, filled with mockery.

Cheng Gang punched Du Busi in the face, but his pupils suddenly dilated, and then his body was violently thrown backward, spitting out blood. His punching arm twisted into a deformed shape and broke off, and his face changed drastically.

His body slid down the grass, leaving two long scratches on the soles of his shoes.

Cheng Gang clutched his broken arm in terror, letting the blood flow freely. His throat tightened, while the black-robed old man in the distance remained completely unperturbed, his face, clearly struck by Cheng Gang's fist, showing no sign of injury...

"May I ask who you are, senior?" Cheng Gang knelt on the ground, his head drooping, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and asked in a trembling voice.

It was only today that he realized how insurmountable the mountains beyond were.

This punch completely shattered his arrogance and confidence.

"Guess?" Du Busi said with a smile.

"Shrek Academy, Elder Bai?" Cheng Gang's throat bobbed as he spoke softly.

"Clatter~"

But in the next instant, a sharp pain shot through his other arm. The old man in black robes had appeared beside him at some point and snapped his other intact arm with a crisp, clear sound. His Soul Bone was also completely shattered.

"Aaaaaah!!!" Cheng Gang knelt on the ground, his expression contorted in pain, his arms hanging limply at his sides.

"Keep guessing." Du Busi stroked his beard leisurely, then shook his head in disappointment.

Cheng Gang was terrified, but he could only endure the pain, his mind racing. "Could it be from the Dou Ling Empire... Ah!"

His left leg was crippled.

"No." Du Busi shook his head.

"The Heavenly Soul Empire's Worship Hall... Ah!"

With all four limbs crippled, Cheng Gang's body was mangled, his blood staining the surrounding green grass, blood flowing from his eyes, as he looked up at the black-robed figure with a hint of pleading.

"The last thing to be snapped off will be your head, kid. Think carefully before you answer," Du Busi said with a grin.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Cheng Gang finally found a useful fragment in his mind. "You are a senior from the Body Sect Body Martial Soul?!"

"Hahahaha..." Du Busi laughed and patted Cheng Gang's face, his smile gradually turning sinister. He squatted down, staring indifferently at Cheng Gang: "Little brat, I held back for a long time last night. If it weren't for a few old guys around to prevent us from being exposed, I would have rushed in and broken your limbs and thrown you in front of my Lu Cheng to apologize."

"Dare to provoke someone from my Body Sect... Don't you want to live?"

"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!!" Cheng Gang cried out in a pitiful voice.

"Hehe, I'll spare your life this time, but remember, next time you see that boy, take a detour..." Du Busi snorted, then slowly got up and left.

All that remained was Cheng Gang, whose limbs were crippled and who lay helplessly on the ground.

His eyes were filled with regret.

Yan Shaozhe wasn't a good person either. Shrek Academy did not value that boy, but they never mentioned that he had the Body Sect behind him. I was an idiot. Body Martial Soul... I should have made that connection earlier.

But now, it's too late.

With his entire body crippled and his Soul Bone shattered, even if he were to be repaired in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to continue improving his combat power and cultivation.

The list of the top eight has been released.

The lineups for the quarterfinals have been announced.

In the match between the Shrek Academy and Heavenly Soul Team, Lu Cheng did not play. It was not that he was unwilling to play, but Yan Shaozhe forced him to sit on the bench. In addition, Ling Luochеn, Gongyang Mo, Ma Xiaotao, the three main players, finally made their first appearance.

This drew cheers from the audience.

Ma Xiaotao, naturally impatient, unleashed her full power as Soul Saint, turning the entire arena into a sea of fire with her Divine Phoenix Fire. This infuriated Wang Yan, who had repeatedly warned Ma Xiaotao before going on stage to prioritize the overall situation, as she was Shrek Team's ultimate ace. However, the latter ignored his words.

Ma Xiaotao's series of moves revealed almost nothing she held back, exposing her entire strategy.

Yan Shaozhe was equally dissatisfied, but knowing his apprentice's temperament, he gave him a few stern reprimands and didn't say much more.

As for the semifinals, they faced the Di'ao Team, one of only two teams with Soul Emperor level experts.

Yan Shaozhe was reluctant to let Lu Cheng play, but with Bei Bei crippled, his team only had three main players left, and the opposing team had a Soul Emperor. Shrek valued this championship too much and couldn't afford any mistakes, so he didn't stop Lu Cheng from playing.

The outcome was obvious: Jiang Peng, the captain of the Di'ao Academy, was targeted and quickly kicked off the field, allowing Shrek Academy to win easily once again.

And soon, a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Then came the day of the finals.

The arena was packed with people, all eagerly awaiting the final showdown between Shrek and the Sun Moon rivals.
