Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 88 Elder Mu's Concession

After a moment of silence, Du Busi's emotions suddenly calmed down, and he looked intently at Elder Xuan.

“Xuanzi, I don’t want to waste any more time with you. That little fellow from the Ye family is a matter of our sect’s fate. Today, no matter what, we will bring him back to the sect. If you know what’s good for you, hand him over now, or don’t blame me for going in to find him directly. And then, the methods won’t be so peaceful.”

"I knew you were here for Xi Xuan." Elder Xuan sneered, unmoved by Poison Undying's threat.

"What, are you going to go back on your promise?"

"A promise?" Poison Immortal said indifferently, "Compared to the future of this sect, what does a mere promise matter if I break it?"

"I never expected you to be so shameless." Elder Xuan curled his lip in disgust, but a gentle smile appeared on his old face. After all, all confidence comes from strength. No matter how powerful and domineering the Body Sect is, it cannot help but be wary of the foundation of Shrek Academy.

"Heh, old monster, do you really think your Body Sect can threaten Shrek Academy? I don't believe you dare to bring people into the academy. That would be tantamount to declaring war on Shrek Academy. I advise you to think carefully. I'm not afraid to tell you, if you really dare to take that step, Shrek Academy will fight to the death to keep all the people you brought here here forever, including you!"

Poison Undying gradually lost his patience, having discerned Shrek Academy's attitude from Elder Xuan's words. His dark green eyes flashed with ferocity as he roared arrogantly.

"You really think I'm afraid of you?! All members of the Body Sect, charge in and find them! Anyone from Shrek Academy who dares to obstruct us will be considered a mortal enemy of our sect! Xuanzi, I hate being threatened more than anything. Since you won't back down, today I, on behalf of the Body Sect, formally declare war on your Shrek Academy! Let's settle our scores and settle all our old and new grudges!"

"You dare to poison me?!" At this moment, Elder Xuan was no longer as composed as before. His face was contorted with rage, and his heart was filled with horror. He was both shocked and terrified.

Although he knew that Du Bu Si would not give up easily, he never expected that Du Bu Si would go to such lengths for Ye Xi Xuan.

The formal commencement of war between Shrek Academy and the Body Sect is a tremendous shock to the entire continent. If a true life-or-death struggle were to break out, the consequences would be unbearable for both sides, potentially resulting in the fall of more than ten Title Douluo-level powerhouses, directly impacting the continent's political landscape.

Elder Xuan is now beginning to regret his actions. Even with his strength and status within Shrek Academy, he would never dare to shoulder such responsibility. One wrong move, and he could very well become Shrek Academy's eternal sinner.

Meanwhile, the group of Title Douluos from the Body Sect behind Du Bu Si began to unabashedly release their auras. The sky above Shrek Academy, which had been clear and sunny, was instantly shrouded in thick, dark clouds, creating an atmosphere of impending doom and an invisible sense of oppression that quickly spread.

One after another, imposing spirit rings emerged around the ten titled Douluo elders of the Body Sect, each with a spirit ring configuration that defied conventional understanding. Most terrifyingly, the vast majority of them possessed red 100,000-year spirit rings.

It should be noted that the reason why the Star Dou Great Forest launched that beast tide against Shrek Academy a hundred years ago was because the experts of the Body Sect infiltrated the Star Dou Great Forest and hunted down eight 100,000-year-old soul beasts in one go. The beneficiaries at that time were these titled Douluo elders of the Body Sect.

Considering the lifespan of Title Douluo-level powerhouses, the past hundred years have been their prime, and their cultivation has actually improved considerably. Among these people, Super Douluo alone account for more than half.

The Body Sect has a history of ten thousand years, and while very few sect leaders throughout its history have possessed the cultivation level of a Limit Douluo, the minimum potential of a Body Spirit is exceptionally high. Once a Body Spirit Soul Master breaks through to the Title Douluo level, they often find it easier to cultivate to the level of a Super Douluo (level 95).

If it weren't for Elder Mu's presence at the Sea God Pavilion, Shrek Academy's top combat strength would be roughly equivalent to that of the Body Sect.

Chaos erupted within Shrek Academy as powerful auras surged forth, instantly rising into the air and arriving beside Elder Xuan, standing in mid-air. Among them were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, as well as the three deans, Xian Lin'er, Cai Mei'er, and Qian Duoduo, all of whom were Title Douluo-level powerhouses.

Whether in the inner or outer courtyard, countless students were captivated by the sight in the sky, their eyes wide with amazement.

This kind of confrontation between top-tier experts is not something you can see every day.

Even the inner court disciples had never seen such a scene before, and they were even more shocked to discover that, including Elder Xuan, the number of Title Douluos on Shrek Academy's side was not much better than that of the Body Sect.

Of course, this does not include Elder Mu and Yan Shaozhe, who had gone into seclusion to cultivate a few years ago.

Foreign Languages ​​Department Teaching Building.

As soon as Zhang Lexuan led Ye Xixuan and the other two into her vice dean's office, she noticed the strange phenomenon outside the window.

Ye Xixuan walked to the wide crystal floor-to-ceiling window and gazed intently at the sky.

He could guess their identities without even needing to get a close look. On the continent, the only top powers capable of rivaling Shrek Academy were the Body Sect and the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire.

Mingde Hall often symbolizes the Sun Moon Empire behind it. Unless the Sun Moon Empire has invaded the heartland of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, it is impossible for the strongmen of Mingde Hall to appear at Shrek Academy.

Therefore, these people could only be from the Body Sect. Zhang Lexuan's expression was also solemn, and at that moment, she received a telepathic message from Elder Mu.

Silently nodding slightly, she looked at Ye Xixuan and the Lan sisters with gentle eyes and said, "They are from the Body Sect. You stay here for now. Don't worry, the academy will handle it."

Ye Xixuan exchanged a knowing glance with Zhang Lexuan; there were indeed some things that were not easy to say openly in front of outsiders.

The sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo exchanged bewildered glances. In truth, their martial souls were also considered body-based martial souls. And it wasn't just them; their captain, Ye Xixuan, also possessed a shadow martial soul.

Having three main martial souls clustered together is considered auspicious.

At the same time, Poison Undying in the sky completely ignored Elder Xuan's warning and suddenly waved his hand.

"What wouldn't I dare? Hmph! There's nothing in this world that our Body Sect wouldn't dare to do. Body Sect members, charge in and find them!"

The great battle between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy is about to break out.

The next instant, a soft halo suddenly emanated from Shrek Academy below, or more precisely, from the golden tree above the Sea God Pavilion.

The gentle golden light spread seemingly slowly but actually very quickly, soaring into the sky in an instant. The tense atmosphere between the two sides vanished completely under the golden light, and the oppressive force in the sky dissipated, leaving the sky completely dyed a bright golden yellow.

A clone formed from pure light elemental energy silently appeared beside Elder Xuan. It was none other than Elder Mu in his youth, with golden eyes that were both majestic and contained an indescribable grandeur.

Elder Xuan was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief. He respectfully called out to Elder Mu in a soft voice.

"Mr. Mu."

Elder Mu looked calmly at Du Busi and said indifferently, "Bu Si, it's been many years. It seems you've forgotten me. Compared to your brother, your impulsive temper is even more pronounced. Does your Body Sect really intend to wage war against Shrek Academy?"

"Dragon, Dragon God Douluo?! You're still alive?! How is that possible? Didn't you already..." Poison Undying was shocked and staggered back a few steps, beads of sweat appearing on his dark green forehead.

"If I die, will you then bully Shrek Academy?"

Old Master Mu said coldly, "If you leave with your men now, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, don't blame me for coming to you personally to demand an explanation. I still vividly remember your brother's situation back then."

"Dragon God Douluo, that battle back then wasn't just a matter of pride. Why should my elder brother back down?!" Poison Undying clenched his fists in frustration, his eyes filled with determination.

"Now that our sect has finally found a suitable successor, you have to interfere. Although that little fellow from the Ye family possesses abilities with extreme dark attributes, if he cannot complete the second awakening of his original martial soul, he will only be buried by you. As for our sect, his talent is unprecedented. If he grows up smoothly in the future, he may even create the history of our original martial soul. At our age, we are not far from our end. Rather than let the sect's inheritance end in my hands, I would rather fight you to the death today!"

An unusual look appeared in Old Mu's eyes, a mixture of surprise and doubt at Poison Undying's resolute attitude, and a sense of contemplation.

"Poison Undying, you should know that the Sun Moon Empire is the biggest threat now. With such a formidable enemy at hand, if we fight each other here, it will only ultimately harm the interests of our original Douluo Continent."

"So what?" Du Bu Si's attitude remained tough, but he was actually quite clear-headed from the beginning. In fact, he didn't really want to fight Shrek Academy to the death, and he vaguely sensed some of Elder Mu's thoughts.

Old Mu stared at Du Bu Si's dark green eyes.

"It is Xi Xuan's personal will to stay in the academy, and I cannot hand him over to you. This is the position of Shrek Academy. However, for the sake of our shared future in the Douluo Continent, I can make a slight concession. If he is willing, I will not prevent him from becoming a member of your Body Sect."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone, from Elder Xuan of Shrek Academy to the group of powerful figures led by Poison Undying of the Body Sect, stared in shock.

　I got off work late, there will be more updates later.
