"As long as I, Du Busi, Patriarch of the Body Sect, am alive, who would dare to harm my successor?"
Terrifying soul power fluctuations enveloped the surrounding area of three hundred meters like raging waves. Not even a single speck of dust was beyond Du Busi's control.
Neither Zhou Yi nor the six members of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion could move. However, their thoughts were unrestricted. When they heard the words "Du Busi, the Patriarch of the Body Sect," their hearts instantly chilled.
The Body Sect was considered a terrorist organization in the former Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, and even more so.
If Shrek Academy was a sanctimonious hypocrite, the Body Sect was a martial artist who was both righteous and evil.
If you didn't provoke them, things would be fine. But if you did, they'd wipe out your entire family without hesitation.
At this moment, Zhou Yi was utterly disheartened. Although she knew Huo Yuhao possessed a body spirit, she didn't know he was connected to the Body Sect.
After all, only members of the Sea God Pavilion knew Huo Yuhao's identity. In the past, Qian Duoduo might have hinted some information to Fan Yu.
But now, Qian Duoduo even wanted to kill Fan Yu. If Fan Yu weren't skilled in soul tool research, Qian Duoduo would have already ordered his suspension and awaited punishment.
Now, being in the hands of the Body Sect, and with the sect leader personally acting, Zhou Yi was doomed. Not even Dragon God Douluo Mu En could save her from the fiercely protective Body Sect.
"Young Master, are you alright?!"
Yu Tao dashed out, looking at Huo Yuhao with fear. He had been tasked with delivering a voice transmission soul tool to Du Busi outside Shrek City and wasn't there to protect Huo Yuhao. Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao was attacked.
If not for Huo Yuhao's quick thinking and strength, he would have been in real trouble. Yu Tao would have faced the harshest punishment from the Body Sect for failing to protect him.
"You bastards, you really dared to attack our Young Master!"
In a fit of rage, Yu Tao kicked Zhou Yi's head, knocking her unconscious. He then mercilessly punched the assassins from the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, almost beating them to death.
"Stop, don't kill them. I still have questions!" Huo Yuhao hurriedly stopped Yu Tao.
These assassins were valuable. He had plans for them, and they couldn't die here.
As for Zhou Yi, Huo Yuhao had a clever plan in mind to surprise her.
"Yuhao, your strength has improved rapidly!"
Du Busi had noticed the terrifying power of the black-and-white fire lotus earlier. But now, it seemed that his powers had increased again!
"That's thanks to Brother Yu Tao accompanying me to the Extreme North. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had such an opportunity," Huo Yuhao chuckled.
Du Busi understood that Huo Yuhao was pleading for Yu Tao. Considering Yu Tao was executing Huo Yuhao's task when the incident occurred. So, with a snort, he considered the matter settled.
"By the way, Yuhao, you mentioned a second extreme ice martial soul with the Ultimate Ice attribute and absorbed a soul ring and a soul bone. Where did these come from?" Du Busi asked.
While he had learned of this before Shrek Academy, he was still puzzled.
If Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice spirit was of high quality, it could coexist with his body spirit to form twin spirits. However, Huo Yuhao never mentioned a second spirit before.
Moreover, if Huo Yuhao indeed had twin spirits, his innate soul power wouldn't have been so low. This didn't make sense for a soul master!
"Patriarch, I don't know either! When Brother Yu Tao and I were in the Extreme North, we were frozen by an unknown cold force for a month. Due to my Flame God Eye spirit, I regained consciousness earlier."
"When I woke up, I saw a scorpion over a meter long not far from me. It was pure white except for its green tail, with crystalline structures on its shell. Though it was dead, I could feel its power."
"Ice Jade Scorpion?" Du Busi exclaimed.
"Patriarch, what is an Ice Jade Scorpion?" Huo Yuhao asked, looking puzzled.
"It's a powerful beast from the Extreme North, one of the true rulers of that harsh land. They have the Ultimate Ice attribute and usually live in the core area of the Extreme North. Even titled Douluo level experts dare not enter that area. It's surprising you encountered one and survived."
"I see! I don't know how it died, but its body soon melted like ice under heat, disappearing. Then I felt a new power within me. When I tried to use my soul power, I discovered it was a new spirit."
A pitch-black soul ring emerged from Huo Yuhao's feet, pulsing slightly. An indistinct icy blue shadow appeared behind him, mirroring his form.
The temperature within ten meters dropped sharply, making even the Soul Douluo-level Yu Tao shiver.
"A ten-thousand-year soul ring?" Despite being informed earlier, Du Busi was still surprised. But considering Huo Yuhao also absorbed a soul bone, it made sense.
After pondering for a moment, Du Busi said, "Yuhao, I don't recognize this spirit, but based on what you said, it was likely your original spirit. Due to your weak body at birth, it didn't manifest during your spirit awakening."
"The Ice Jade Scorpion might have been at its end or injured, leaving the core area and encountering you. You two were frozen by its Ultimate Ice attribute. At that moment, it died, and you absorbed its soul ring and soul bone."
"Absorbing the Ultimate Ice soul ring and soul bone likely triggered your second spirit's full awakening. With your current body, you can now handle both spirits."
"Though Yan Shaozhe is a scoundrel, he was right about one thing. With a god-level body spirit and an Ultimate spirit as twin spirits, your talent is unprecedented in Douluo Continent's history."
Huo Yuhao looked at Du Busi with admiration, lightly clapping.
The Patriarch's imaginative reasoning was impressive. If he were Green Lantern, the DC Universe would have ended long ago!
