Chapter 61: The Retreat of the Body Sect
However, by sheer chance, Du Busi actually found Huo Yuhao's weakness: Huo Yuhao indeed couldn't maintain this level of combat power for long, and he couldn't compete with Du Busi in terms of energy expenditure.
Huo Yuhao's physical strength is not yet sufficient to withstand poisonous attacks without dying, so it would indeed be troublesome to force a fight at this time.
Wanting to demonstrate his strength through the battle with Du Busi, Huo Yuhao wanted to confront Du Busi head-on as much as possible.
Otherwise, if Huo Yuhao had first used the simulated invisibility and then gathered his strength to use the Heaven and Earth Balance Technique, he would have truly been invincible.
After completing the charging of his combat skill, Du Bu Si dispersed the surrounding poisonous mist, creating an opportunity for Huo Yu Hao to attack.
With the help of mental detection, Huo Yuhao quickly discovered Du Busi's intentions and decisively took the initiative to strike first, smashing a hammer at Du Busi.
After taking Huo Yuhao's powerful hammer blow head-on, Du Busi did not use the retreat to deflect part of the attack, but forcibly stabilized his own body.
Ignoring the blood spurting from his injury, Du Bu Si slammed his fists, covered in golden light, towards Huo Yu Hao.
When Huo Yuhao attacked Du Busi, he was indeed unable to use the plant teleportation ability and took a solid punch from Du Busi.
Just as the Poison Undying Technique struck Huo Yuhao, he sensed something was amiss. Huo Yuhao's entire body had turned golden, and he had not suffered any harm.
Huo Yuhao had used his fourth soul skill to replicate the Invincible Golden Body in advance, and at this moment, he was taking advantage of the three-second invincibility effect below the god level to withstand the strongest attack of poison without dying.
Poison Undying's attack failed to turn the tide of the battle, and the duel came to a complete end.
Huo Yuhao once again used teleportation to widen the distance between himself and Du Busi, preparing to continue using Mu En's soul skills to deplete Du Busi's remaining soul power.
Knowing he was doomed to lose, Du Bu Si gave up and admitted defeat.
"Sect Master Huo, I have lost today's battle, and I can apologize to you on behalf of the Heavenly Soul Royal Family."
"Furthermore, I can guarantee that during my lifetime, the Body Sect will not clash with Shrek Academy again."
"Sect Master, how can this be? Wouldn't this make our Body Sect look inferior to Shrek Academy?"
Among the other elders of the Body Sect who had been watching for a long time, one of the more impatient elders quickly spoke up, trying to persuade Du Busi to change his mind.
"Yun Qing, don't be rash. Since it's the sect leader's decision, he must have his reasons. If you have any objections, we can discuss them when we get back."
Jin Peng, a level 96 Golden Body Douluo who had been watching from the sidelines, interrupted Yun Qing's questioning of Du Busi's decision.
"Since the Poison Sect Master has personally expressed his opinion on this matter, I can't refuse him. In the next ten years, the rare metals required for the Heavenly Soul Empire to customize battle armor will double."
"Ten years later, when we are restored to the same status as the other two countries, we will have him come with me to Shrek Academy to apologize to Sister Tang Ya, and then this matter will be over."
Huo Yuhao felt no pressure at all as he looked at the group of Title Douluos surrounding him. He and Elder Song stood suspended in mid-air, glanced at the tall, thin man, and then spoke calmly.
"Everything is up to Pavilion Master Huo's decision. Today's events were also due to my lack of consideration. I personally apologize to Pavilion Master Huo."
Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Soul Emperor immediately responded and gave Huo Yuhao a slight bow.
"That's all for today. The Pavilion Master has just finished his seclusion, and the academy has many decisions to make, so we'll take our leave now."
Seeing Huo Yuhao nod in acknowledgment, Elder Song explained, then grabbed the tall, thin man and pulled Huo Yuhao towards Shrek City.
"Jin Peng, in the future, we should back down from Shrek Academy matters as much as possible. We are now representing the Heavenly Soul Empire and are about to become enemies with the Sun Moon Empire. We may need their help in the future."
"Furthermore, that bastard Mu En is still alive. The Sea God Pavilion is currently too powerful. This new Pavilion Master is already quite strong, and Xuanzi has been at level 98 for a long time. A direct confrontation would probably not be beneficial."
The Golden Body Douluo was also quite shocked that Huo Yuhao could fight Poison Undying head-on at such a young age, and then replied:
"I understand, but should we explain this to the sect members? If we don't explain, some disciples might become dissatisfied, since our Body Sect has never bowed down to any power."
"The cultivation level of that other Pavilion Master Huo is also somewhat strange; he has almost never used his last few spirit rings."
"Is it possible that he hasn't reached the ninth ring? After all, a titled Douluo at this age is just too much of a genius."
Poison Immortal pondered for a moment, his expression still solemn. Even he, who was always impulsive, felt considerable pressure.
"I made a bet with the new sect leader, but I was wrong. Before I step down as sect leader, the disciples of the sect are not allowed to be enemies of Shrek Academy."
"If Huo Yuhao is really not at level 90 now, that would be a real problem. At the very least, he can reach the level of his elder brother in the future."
"We haven't nurtured Aotian enough. He won't reach Huo Yuhao's level now. Shrek Academy is really lucky."
The Golden Body Douluo ended his conversation with Poison Undying and returned to the sect with the rest of the Body Sect elders.
Du Bu Si then set off for the depths of the sea to prepare for Long Ao Tian's next training.
"Your Majesty, should we reconsider Princess Vina's marriage? This new Pavilion Master's strength far exceeds our expectations; even the usually arrogant Body Sect has retreated."
Emperor Tianhun remained unmoved by the advice of the Guardian Douluo and sat upright on his throne.
"Vina and Aotian have a long-standing relationship. Changing it now would be an insult to the Body Sect. We are truly one with the Body Sect, and we must distinguish between what is close and what is distant."
"Besides, with Princess Xingluo as a shining example, there's no point in having Vina imitate her. How could she possibly compete with the Xingluo Empire?"
After ordering the Guardian Douluo to step down, Emperor Tianhun frowned again as he calculated the amount of rare metals needed to customize the battle armor.
"Yuhao, your fifth soul skill is really good. This is the first time I've seen a soul skill that can increase soul power by nearly forty levels."
"But we need to go back and develop new admission standards as soon as possible. The admissions officers at the college have been having a headache for a long time."
Huo Yuhao looked at Elder Song, who was carrying him at high speed, speechless. He had thought that the Sea God Pavilion Master was usually quite idle because he had seen Mu En being very leisurely every day.
As soon as he took office, he had seven or eight decisions, big and small, waiting for him to make.
However, considering the numerous new policies he has introduced since taking office and the series of problems arising from the production of battle armor, it is not entirely unexpected.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Huo Yuhao presided over the meeting again, while the seats for Mu En and Xuan Zi on the left and right sides remained empty.
"Elders, Elder Mu and Elder Xuan have reached an agreement on the student exchange program with the Sun Moon Empire. Our future focus will still be on soul tools."
