Chapter 95: It Was Indeed You
The black-robed man's scalp tingled. Without activating his Martial Spirit True Body, it was not easy to execute a hundred-thousand-year soul skill from the ninth soul ring. Not to mention, a three-second charge time was quite normal.
But what the black-robed man hadn't expected was that Du Qianjue, this youngster, truly had no sense of decorum for the powerful, taking advantage of others while they were charging their attacks!
Slap!
A right roundhouse kick!
Slap!
A left front kick!
And behind him, two old wind avatars aimed their swords at the black-robed man's kidneys, ready to deliver a lasting cure.
The face under the black-robed man's hood twisted with rage, not just for the lack of martial ethics, but also for the cunning attack points!
Utterly low!
He was being forcibly pushed to the brink of soul skill backlash!
Now he faced two choices: either forcibly interrupt the hundred-thousand-year soul skill, causing his own soul power to backlash and injure himself, or be stabbed in the kidneys by the two old wind avatars behind him, suffering a lasting cure.
Is there even a choice here?
The black-robed man shuddered, forcefully terminating the half-charged hundred-thousand-year soul skill, which unleashed a soul power shockwave from his body, scattering all the wind avatars besieging him.
"Pfft—"
Soul skill backlash was definitely not pleasant, especially for a hundred-thousand-year soul skill.
The black-robed man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his black robe was torn to shreds by the soul power, turning into black cloth fluttering down from the sky.
And the old face under the black-robed man's hood now appeared in Du Qianjue's view.
"So it was indeed you, old Bi Deng!" Du Qianjue narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.
"So what if it is me," responded Xuan Zi, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, his old face dark, his eyes flickering with a sharp cold light.
"Now that you know who I am, I won't hide anymore. You forced my hand, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Martial Spirit True Body!"
Indeed, the black-robed man was Xuan Zi, a member of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, a level ninety-eight super Douluo with the martial spirit Gluttonous Divine Ox! His goal had always been clear: he came for the Dragon Pill in Du Qianjue's possession.
The Gluttonous, one of the nine sons of the dragon, has a bloodline almost as pure as that of the nine great god-level dragons. Although Xuan Zi's Gluttonous Divine Ox spirit was far from a pure Gluttonous, it was still an extremely powerful super spirit with a pure Gluttonous bloodline.
But Xuan Zi was too wasteful. Such a super spirit in the hands of a normal person would have reached the limit at two hundred years old. Especially since Shrek also had Mu En, a limit Douluo. With Mu En's guidance, as long as there was hope, the limit was achievable.
It was only Xuan Zi, who spent his days eating chicken legs and drinking, who couldn't even see the shadow of his limit.
Now, he even set his sights on Du Qianjue.
It's not that he didn't want to buy the Dragon Pill directly at the auction; mainly, he had no money! Xuan Zi, who regarded food and drink as more important than his life, had spent most of his money on various delicacies. Never worrying about money at Shrek, how could he carry a large amount of cash?
When he saw that the main auction item was the Dragon Pill, Xuan Zi regretted it so much. Not regretting why he didn't save money, but why he didn't ask the academy for more liquid funds when coming to Star Luo City...
It was unbearable.
But for Xuan Zi to give up, he couldn't bear it, so he kept his eyes on guest room number three, wanting to see who actually bought the Dragon Pill.
Who is Du Qianjue?
Young sect master of the Body Sect, his uncle is the Yin-Yang Complementary limit Douluo Du Busi, his wife is the Snow Emperor with eight hundred thousand years of cultivation.
With such a background, even if it was Tang San's two dogs from the Haotian Sect, Du Qianjue wouldn't fear them, as neither Niu Tian nor Tai Tan could exert god-level strength to deal with Du Qianjue.
With such a powerful background, Du Qianjue just walked out of the auction room with the Dragon Pill openly.
Naturally, Xuan Zi recognized Du Qianjue; they had met when he fought with Du Busi.
So the moment the young sect master of the Body Sect stepped out, Xuan Zi had his eyes on Du Qianjue.
If it were someone else, Xuan Zi might have felt guilty, but if the person who bought the Dragon Pill was from the Body Sect or the Sun Moon Empire, he wouldn't feel any burden and would dare to rob.
This led to the series of events that just unfolded.
Even now, with his identity exposed, Xuan Zi had not given up on seizing the Dragon Pill.
He even developed a killing intent.
The allure of reaching the limit was too great for him, and he could not give up on the Dragon Pill, which could help him break through his limits.
But the strength of Du Busi and the power of the Body Sect also made him extremely wary.
If Du Qianjue managed to relay the message back, a war between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy would become inevitable.
Already infamous in Shrek for leading the elite team on a pre-tournament inspection mission that resulted in heavy casualties, if today's events, sparked by his greed, led to a war between Shrek and the Body Sect...
Then his reputation in Shrek would stink to the heavens, becoming a pariah.
There's no turning back the arrow once it's released from the bow.
Xuan Zi had no choice but to go down this dark path, even though he had a chance to leave before exposing his identity, but greed ultimately dragged him into the abyss.
Du Qianjue also sensed the subtle killing intent in Xuan Zi's demeanor. Reaching a state of unity between heaven and man at the age of eight, with a spiritual realm near tangible form, and his martial spirit being a body martial spirit, Du Qianjue was extremely sensitive. He noticed the moment Xuan Zi's killing intent surfaced.
"Heh, Old Bi Deng, got angry from being exposed and want to kill to silence me?" Du Qianjue sneered.
"Do you think you have the strength? Do you think you can, kill, me?"
"I said, you don't really understand what a strong man is," Xuan Zi said calmly, but the chilling murderous intent contained in his words was hair-raising.
"Don't think that just because you've fought me for so long, you can truly contend with a super Douluo. I admit your strength has surpassed that of ordinary Titled Douluo, but I am not an ordinary Titled Douluo!"
"Strong man?" Du Qianjue laughed derisively.
"Maybe, maybe I really don't understand what a true strong man is, but I know, you, Xuan Zi, do not deserve the title 'strong man'!"
"Come on, show me the strength of a level ninety-eight super Douluo!"
"Third round!!!"
Du Qianjue roared to the heavens, his radiance intensifying once more.
Facing a level ninety-eight Gluttonous Douluo from Shrek Academy, an old and powerful figure, even if Du Qianjue looked down on Xuan Zi, he would not underestimate his strength.
The third round, the final battle!
Level ninety-eight Gluttonous Douluo vs. level seventy-seven Du Qianjue!
