Chapter 184 Poison Undying Makes His Move (Daily 10,000 words)

"Senior Poison Undying, what brings you here today? We Shrek Academy and your Body Sect have kept to ourselves all these years, haven't we?"

Qian Duoduo recognized the person in front of him and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Although he and Du Busi were both Super Douluo, there was a gap between them. Du Busi's strength was so exaggerated that he could overpower him and make him breathless even with just one hand.

"Keep to your own business? That sounds nice."

Poison Undying snorted coldly, and a dense, dark green light suddenly shot into the sky, dyeing half of the sky dark green.

Two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red—the terrifying aura unleashed by these three 100,000-year soul rings seemed to shatter even the air itself.

"Three 100,000-year soul rings?"

Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise, "Is this really a soul ring configuration that a normal person can have?"

"Boy, you want some? Join the Body Sect, and let alone three, as long as you can absorb them, it won't be difficult for me to get you a few more."

Du Busi didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move. After seeing the surprise in Huo Yuhao's eyes, he instead began to try to win Huo Yuhao over with great interest.

"Old Master Poison, this isn't the attitude you'd use to recruit someone into the sect."

Huo Yuhao looked at the nine spirit rings rising and falling on Du Busi's body and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Any Soul Master who possesses a physical Martial Soul is considered a disciple of this sect. I won't hold it against you for not knowing that before."

Du Bu Si didn't think that the Body Sect's rules for recruiting people were particularly domineering, since their Body Sect had always done things this way for many years.

Although Huo Yuhao didn't fully understand the gap between Super Douluo, he was well aware that there was a three-level difference between them. He knew that Qian Duoduo could never stop Du Busi, no matter how hard she tried.

"Senior, if I join your Body Sect, can you accept that I already have two teachers?"

Huo Yuhao spoke after a moment's thought.

If Du Busi really tries to force Huo Yuhao to leave, Qian Duoduo really doesn't have any good solutions. So, since that's the case, Huo Yuhao might as well step forward himself and see if there's any room for reconciliation between the two sides.

"No, once you go to the Body Sect, you will be my disciple. How can you have other teachers?"

Du Bu Si immediately rejected Huo Yu Hao.

"If I join the Body Sect, will I still be able to study at Shrek Academy? After all, joining a sect and studying at a school shouldn't conflict, right?"

Huo Yuhao settled for second best, hoping to get some concessions from Du Busi.

"What can Shrek Academy teach you? Martial Soul knowledge? You possess a Body Spirit Martial Soul, and only my Body Sect in the world has mastered the secret technique for the second awakening of a Body Spirit Martial Soul. What's the point of you staying at Shrek to learn?"

A hint of arrogance flashed in Du Bu Si's eyes: "Or are you interested in these soul tools that are like toys? I can tell you with certainty that in the face of absolute power, these soul tools are meaningless."

Huo Yuhao made concessions and lowered his demands twice, but both were directly rejected by Du Busi. For a moment, both Huo Yuhao and Qian Duoduo frowned.

The situation was beyond their control, and Huo Yuhao and Qian Duoduo had no choice but to back down. They couldn't just let Du Busi kidnap them for no reason. But Du Busi wouldn't budge an inch, acting like a bandit leader who had come down from the mountain to snatch his wife.

"Old Master Poison, are you teaching me to betray my master and ancestors? Do you want to take on a disciple who would do such a thing?"

Huo Yuhao stared intently at Du Busi. It has to be said that Huo Yuhao's words did indeed shut Du Busi up.

Although Du Busi does everything as he pleases, he doesn't expect his closed-door disciples or his successors to be treacherous and disloyal, even if he personally instructed them to do so.

Seeing that Du Busi's eyes softened, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up: "Grandpa, as you know, I'm not affiliated with any sect, so joining one is something I need to think about carefully. How about you let me and my teacher go back first, and I'll tell you after I've thought of a perfect answer?"

Just as Du Bu Si was about to agree, he suddenly realized something: there's no such thing as a perfect answer to this kind of thing.

Once this kid returns to Shrek Academy, I won't have such a good chance to catch him again. If he tells me with a regretful look that he couldn't think of a perfect answer, so he can only regretfully refuse me, then where can he go to complain if he can't be poisoned to death?

"No, you have to give me a perfect answer right now. At worst, I'll accept you as a disciple who betrays his master and ancestors."

Poison couldn't kill him, so unreasonable that Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, it's impossible for Huo Yuhao not to be curious about the Body Sect's second awakening technique for martial souls, but that doesn't mean he would give up everything at Shrek Academy for such a martial soul awakening technique.

At Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao has friends, brothers, mentors, and projects that excite him and energize him. Why would he give up everything that is like home to join the Body Sect?

"Teacher, how long can you hold off this person?"

Huo Yuhao's mental fluctuations quietly appeared in Qian Duoduo's mind.

"Three seconds or less, but it won't be less than one second."

Qian Duoduo didn't understand why Huo Yuhao suddenly asked that question, but she still answered him.

"What if?"

"As long as we catch you, Poison Undying will dare to bet everything on Shrek Academy to fight us. On the other hand, Ning Ge and I are worthless to Poison Undying. If we touch the two of us, it will only drive Shrek Academy crazy, and the Body Sect will not gain any benefit."

"Have you made up your mind?"

Poison Undying's slightly impatient voice rang out.

"I've thought it through."

Huo Yuhao raised his head, his vertical pupil between his brows suddenly opening wide, and two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, fell to the ground beneath his feet: "I refuse to join the Body Sect."

"Hmm, a good choice. You were forced to be taken back by me. Good idea, that's what I was thinking too."

Poison Undying seemed to have figured something out, and nodded, saying that perhaps he really thought so, or perhaps he didn't, but in any case, the final result would be the same.

The indestructible, dark green aura burst forth from his body, transforming into a gigantic, dark green hand that blotted out the sky and lunged at Huo Yuhao. Qian Duoduo's Black Dragon Shield grew longer in the wind and blocked the attack, but he was blasted away.

Without pausing, Huo Yuhao activated his second spirit ring, and two whirlwinds emerged beneath his feet, drastically increasing his speed to the level of a typical agility-based spirit master. In the blink of an eye, he had darted dozens of meters away.

But for a Poison Undying, this speed is as slow as a tortoise crawling!
