Chapter 104: The Indestructible Weakness of Du Bisi

There was no helping it; this blockhead refused to say a word, so Su Yu could only let the matter drop.

When Wang Dong came out of seclusion, Su Yu had been staying by Wang Dong's side the whole time. Although Su Yu knew that the Body Sect's goal was Shrek's Huo Yu Hao, the matter had eventually fizzled out under the deterrence of Mu Lao.

Mu Lao's Soul Ring configuration seemed to be two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red. He was also the Bright Sacred Dragon, one of the two Light and Dark Dragons of that era. His strength was undeniably formidable; later, he even defeated Du Bisi—who was also a level 98 Peak Douluo—in a decisive battle by his own power, breaking through to become a Super Douluo.

With such strength, he was qualified to inherit a God Position, but he was not the protagonist, so he had to be forcibly killed off by the plot to pave the way for the protagonist. Just like the Seven Monsters of the Shrek Inner Court, apart from Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yaoheng, and Ling Luochen, they all basically vanished without a trace.

Gazing at the atmosphere in the sky that had become oppressive to the extreme, Su Yu knew that the people from the Body Sect had arrived.

Their goal was Huo Yu Hao. When everyone was arranged into a safe area, the elders in the Sea God Pavilion all emerged to confront the people of the Body Sect in the sky. Shrek had the absolute advantage in the number of peak combatants, but this was Shrek Academy; once these people started fighting, it would inevitably lead to the destruction of Shrek Academy.

When Su Yu stood beside Mu Lao, Wang Dong was clutching Su Yu's arm somewhat tightly. Mu Lao looked with a calm expression at Xuan Zi, who was still confronting Du Busi in the sky.

"Su Yu, are you worried about Xuan Zi?" Mu Lao's gentle voice rang in Su Yu's ear.

Su Yu shook his head and said, "Actually, I am not surprised at all that the Body Sect descended upon Shrek. Last time, they had people invite Huo Yu Hao back to the sect, and after being taught a lesson by Xuan Zi, the Body Sect naturally wouldn't give up on Huo Yu Hao. As long as Huo Yu Hao remains at Shrek Academy for one day, the Body Sect is destined to never give up their greedy intentions."

For a hundred miles around, the entire sky had changed color because of their battle; one side was a deep yellow, while the other was an imposing, ink-green.

Each occupied one side of the sky, and the place where the two colors intersected was filled with surging winds and clouds accompanying the battle between Xuan Zi and Du Busi. This was truly a terrifying contest that caused the heavens and earth to change color!

In mid-air, Xuan Zi, transformed into the Taotie Divine Ox, charged forward ferociously, the yellow light behind him crashing toward Du Busi like a monstrous wave.

The ink-green giant transformed from Du Busi ran through the void with long strides, meeting the charge head-on without the slightest retreat.

Amidst a thunderous roar, the two collided in mid-air.

At this very instant, whether on the side of Shrek Academy or the Body Sect, all the powerhouses who had been hovering in the sky descended rapidly, each returning to the ground.

The contest between Xuan Zi and Du Busi continued. Although Xuan Zi's Taotie Divine Ox was also one of the top martial souls of the current age, he was at a disadvantage regarding Soul Rings. Du Busi possessed a powerful configuration of two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red; it was no wonder he dared to lead people to charge directly into Mingde Hall and turn it upside down.

In the Sun Moon Empire, there were simply no Super Douluo above level 95...

Xuan Zi's Soul Ring configuration was a bit more common: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. If a normal Soul Master followed the optimal Soul Ring configuration brought up by that Yu Xiaogang, it would probably be like this, just without a hundred-thousand-year one, because they couldn't kill one...

In mid-air, the fierce collision between the two great powerhouses made the sky seem to suddenly explode like a blooming firework. The ink-green light behind Du Busi suddenly formed large, vortex-like shapes. Meanwhile, the yellow light behind Xuan Zi instantly formed countless enormous yellow light orbs, turning into a massive meteor shower that crashed directly toward the ink-green vortex.

Huo Yu Hao had seen many meteor shower-type soul skills, with Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Meteor Shower being the strongest, followed by Dai Yaoheng's White Tiger Meteor Shower. However, those meteor showers were merely soul skills that simulated a meteor shower, and the area they covered was at most a few hundred square meters. Yet the meteor shower Xuan Zi was unleashing at this moment was like true heavenly might! It was overwhelming, with no end in sight. It was as if the sky itself had been torn apart.

But Du Busi was indeed powerful; the massive ink-green vortex formed a funnel shape in the air, remaining completely unmoved despite the impact of the terrifying meteor shower. The yellow light entered it and vanished instantly, as if a clay ox had entered the sea.

The two great powerhouses in the center were also confronting each other; the pair of giant hands of the green giant transformed from Du Busi tightly gripped the pair of massive ox horns of Xuan Zi. Both sides seemed to be testing their strength, yet neither could do anything to the other. The light on their bodies flickered on and off. Their true bodies remained in a semi-static state.

The battle between Xuan Zi and Du Busi continued. It appeared to be a draw, but in reality, Xuan Zi was already at a disadvantage. If their battle continued to drag on, Xuan Zi would lose; if it were a life-and-death struggle, Xuan Zi would die!

That is how battles between Peak Douluo are; once they reach this realm, it is basically very difficult to kill someone of a higher level. Of course, that guy Huo Yu Hao, when he was at level ninety-something, directly slaughtered and could briefly hold his own against Di Tian, and even injured the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord...

This damn thing is a bug. Di Tian, who had nearly eight hundred thousand years of cultivation, was hung up and beaten by Huo Yu Hao, who had only cultivated for twenty-odd years. No matter how you think about it, it's absurd. With his orange-gold gear and his Beast status, it's normal that he couldn't win; after all, the title of Huo Gua is no joke.

"It seems you observe quite meticulously; why not share your thoughts?" Mu Lao was not worried that Xuan Zi would fall into a disadvantage in the short term; after all, Mu Lao knew Xuan Zi's strength better than anyone.

Looking at Mu Lao's appearance, then looking at the nervous Huo Yu Hao, Su Yu asked tentatively, "Are you sure you want me to say it?"

"Mm, go ahead." In fact, Mu Lao had already had a strategy in mind. Having managed the Sea God Pavilion for many years and traversed the continent for over two hundred years, if he didn't have a bit of wit and means, Mu Lao could not have lived until now, nor could he have his current strength.

Su Yu nodded and said, "Since Mu Lao wants me to speak, then I will say it. If there is anything incorrect, please forgive me."

"Actually, this time, Shrek is not in the right. Although the Body Sect is overbearing, while Xuan Zi's actions that day were not wrong, they were truly a bit excessive. After all, this Douluo Continent has always had an unwritten rule, but once such an unwritten rule is formed, it becomes recognized by all parties. At this moment, as long as someone breaks this rule, it is bound to cause disputes, and today's situation was formed because of this."

Hearing this, Mu Lao's eyes trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the youth before him with surprise. He was too mature; this youth was simply a born decision-maker. Not only did he analyze the key reasons, but his seasoned experience was so mature that it didn't seem like that of a youth!

"Then how do you think it should be resolved?" Mu Lao had new thoughts in his mind. In fact, it wasn't just Mu Lao; even Yan Shaozhe and the others beside him, at Mu Lao's signal, all looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu knew that Mu Lao was testing him. Since you asked, I naturally have a compromise, otherwise why would I be chatting with you about all this?

Supporting Mu Lao, Su Yu reached out and pointed at Du Busi, who was still fighting fiercely with Xuan Zi. "Actually, my method might not be perfect, but it is definitely a compromise. The Body Sect's goal is simple: they came to demand someone because of Huo Yu Hao's Body Martial Soul. But we at Shrek also have a Martial Soul Department, don't we? Isn't Huo Yu Hao's Second Martial Soul, the Ice Jade Scorpion, a normal martial soul?"

Mu Lao was naturally not a person without intelligence. Having lived for over two hundred years, even if he wasn't a very clever person, two hundred years of experience were there, so he naturally understood at once. "You mean to negotiate with the Body Sect, letting them be responsible for guiding Huo Yu Hao's Body Martial Soul, while we are responsible for teaching him his Second Martial Soul, just like how you dual-cultivate in the Martial Soul Department?"

"Mu Lao is truly brilliant. This way, we can avoid Huo Yu Hao leaving Shrek Academy, and also ensure the Body Sect cannot find an excuse to cause trouble. We have already given them the opportunity; if the Body Sect still doesn't agree, then they are the ones in the wrong. If they continue to be relentless, then we can only choose to decide it with strength."

Under the current circumstances, Su Yu's method was a perfect solution. With the Body Sect's temperament, they would definitely not stop until they reached their goal, especially since Mu Lao had dealt with the Body Sect many times and naturally knew them very well.

This led to Su Yu's suggestion being fully affirmed by Mu Lao. Sure enough, Mu Lao began to talk with Huo Yu Hao. Although they were both in the Sea God Pavilion, because of his cultivation, Huo Yu Hao was also by Mu Lao's side at this moment.

In Huo Yu Hao's view, Su Yu's words were not wrong. This was for the sake of Shrek Academy; everything started because of him, and he could not let Shrek Academy be harmed because of his own stubbornness.

Huo Gua himself was not very old, and his experience was still at the level of a child. After the exhortation of Mu Lao, an old hand, Huo Yu Hao nodded tearfully with a sense of righteousness.

The battle between Du Busi and Xuan Zi continued, but the trash talk between these two had never stopped.

It must be said that Xuan Zi had a handful of trash talk, and Bei Bei also had a handful of trash talk, but when it came to trash talk, one had to look at Mu Lao. Thinking about it carefully, Xuan Zi was Mu Lao's junior fellow apprentice, and Bei Bei was Mu Lao's great-grandson; their trash talk was highly likely to be inherited from the same source...

The reason Mu Lao adopted Su Yu's strategy was that he knew his own time was running out. Whether it was for the Sun Moon Empire or for Shrek, he could not fall!

Especially after communicating with Su Yu, he became even more aware of the crisis of the Sun Moon Empire. If he, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek, were to fall, it would be even worse.

"Xuan Zi cannot stop you, but what about me?" Just then, a gentle voice rang out quietly. Immediately following, a soft halo of light was suddenly released from Shrek Academy below; to be precise, it was released from the Sea God Pavilion.

The diffusion of the soft golden light was seemingly slow but actually fast. In the blink of an eye, it had already rushed into the high sky. A miraculous scene appeared: the momentum of both Xuan Zi and Du Busi completely vanished under the shroud of this golden light, and the pressure in the sky dissipated along with it.

The soft golden light not only shrouded Shrek Academy but also covered Shrek City within it. At this very moment, looking at Shrek City from the outside, it was simply a city of gold!

Du Busi, who had been aggressive all along, couldn't help but change his expression upon seeing this. "Sea God's Light? How is this possible? How can there still be someone in Shrek who can unleash the Sea God's Light?"

"Busi, it has been many years. It seems you have forgotten this old man." The kind voice rang out again, but it only reached the ears of Du Busi alone.

"You, you are..." Du Busi looked in shock at the Sea God Pavilion below, which was releasing brilliant golden light. For a moment, sweat actually seeped out on his ink-green forehead.

This time, Mu Lao did not adopt overly forceful means; he simply politely invited Du Busi to Sea God Island to discuss matters.

In the end, Du Busi compromised, because the Body Sect was currently facing a situation where there were no successors, and coming to Shrek to snatch someone was a move of desperation.

However, Mu Lao was no righteous gentleman. If he caught your weakness and didn't properly knock you for a bit, it would be a disservice to you coming to his doorstep to smash the place.

In the end, Du Busi had to yield to the majesty of Mu Lao as a Limit Douluo and agreed to sign quite a few humiliating treaties...

When Du Busi returned, he looked at Huo Yu Hao with a bitter smile. He didn't know why, but when Mu Lao returned, Su Yu could clearly feel that Mu Lao seemed to have gained quite a lot.

The ink-green light on Du Busi's body suddenly burned fiercely, violently burning a hole in the gold of the Sea God's Light. After flying out, he waved his hand in the air, "Body Sect members, retreat."

More than twenty figures fled rapidly in the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The golden light in the sky also slowly retracted, returning all the way into the Sea God Pavilion.

At this time, not only was Shrek Academy in a state of agitation, but the entire Shrek City was filled with voices of discussion because of the miraculous situation earlier.

"Shaozhe, go and pacify the citizens. Xuan Zi, you and Su Yu come with me."

As he spoke, Xuan Zi followed Su Yu into the Sea God Pavilion. When Mu Lao lay back down on the lounge chair, Xuan Zi's expression was somewhat ugly. Mu Lao lay quietly on the lounge chair, looking as if he were still that frail, candle-in-the-wind old man. If one only looked at his appearance, who would have thought that he had almost single-handedly scared off the entire Body Sect?

"Mu Lao." Xuan Lao greeted him, feeling somewhat dejected.

Mu Lao smiled slightly and said, "What? Feeling dejected? You didn't lose. Being suppressed by Du Busi is nothing. Back then, if I hadn't been lucky, I would have ended up like Du Busi's older brother, having already left this world. Even if I had managed to save my life, I would have been permanently disabled in the end. Even if I had truly stepped in, I might not have done much better than you. After all, the Dragon God of today is no longer the Dragon God of the past."

The era belonging to Mu Lao will eventually pass; whether it be a Peak Douluo or a Limit Douluo, if one does not become a god, one will eventually become a handful of yellow soil.
