Douluo Dalu 2: The True God King-Chapter 273: [DD2]:

"A Super Douluo like me at rank 98 only plays in high-level matches. A rank 96 Super Douluo like you isn't even qualified to challenge me."

"You should learn to accept your weakness, just like that brat Yan Shaozhe."

"As a person, the first thing you need is self-awareness."

Du Busi's sarcastic tone directly stabbed at Xuanzi's pride.

Xuanzi was furious, his entire body trembling.

But there was nothing he could do—no matter how despicable Du Busi was, his strength was undeniably real.

Even though Xuanzi wanted nothing more than to smash Du Busi's head in, he had no choice but to endure.

"Du Busi, you barged into my Shrek Academy with a group of people in such a grand fashion—are you here just to mock me?"

Xuanzi questioned loudly.

Du Busi sneered. "I don't have the time to waste mocking you. Do you even deserve that?"

"I came here to settle a score with Shrek Academy."

"You bastards dared to recruit disciples from my Body Sect without permission! Do you think our Body Sect is nothing to you?"

"If you know what's good for you, I suggest you hand over our disciples. Then, I might just let you off."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for tearing down your Shrek Academy today."

"When I lose my temper, even I get scared."

Xuanzi's face changed as he retorted, "Du Busi, don't be unreasonable. How could our academy have anyone from your Body Sect? You need evidence before making accusations!"

"Evidence? Screw your evidence! I don't need evidence to do things. Are you handing them over or not?"

"If not, I'll kill you."

Du Busi's voice was ruthless.

Just as Xuanzi was about to speak, Yan Shaozhe pulled him back.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Du Busi and said, "Senior Du, could you give us some time to check? If there are Body Sect disciples in our academy, we will return them to you."

Du Busi's expression softened slightly. "Now that's more like it. I'll give you half a quarter of an hour—go quickly."

Yan Shaozhe hurriedly assigned people to investigate, and Director Du Weilun ran so fast that his legs almost caught fire.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a pair of twin sisters were brought over.

The two girls looked around fourteen or fifteen years old, both with long blue hair. Their bodies had already developed well, showing signs of beauty in the making.

These two sisters were none other than Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu, whose martial souls were their hair.

Du Weilun had searched both the inner and outer courts but could only find these two students.

At this moment, the two girls, who had been brought over, looked completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening.

"Sect Master Du, the people you wanted have been brought."

Yan Shaozhe signaled to Du Weilun, who immediately had the two girls release their martial souls.

Four soul rings flickered—yellow, yellow, purple, purple. Their long hair instantly grew.

Hair-based martial souls—there was no doubt that they were Body Sect, martial souls.

Yan Shaozhe finally felt relieved, thinking that the task was completed.

Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu had decent talent and even possessed the martial soul fusion skill Heavenly Net. But they were far from top-tier geniuses.

For the sake of Shrek Academy, handing them over was no big loss. Yan Shaozhe didn't feel too distressed about it.

However, who would have thought that Du Busi would explode with rage upon seeing them?

"Ridiculous! You bastards are trying to fool me?"

"Do you think these are the ones I want?"

"You think you can get rid of me like this?"

"Where is Huo Yuhao?"

"Where are you hiding him?"

"I came here for Huo Yuhao!"

Du Bushi roared, his aura surging dramatically.

Yan Shaozhe was dumbfounded, and Xuanzi almost dropped the chicken leg in his hand.

Huo Yuhao?

They knew him.

After all, Wang Yan had reported about him before—a rare eye-based martial soul and a spiritual attribute soul master.

But his talent was terrible. He was a total waste.

So, they stopped paying attention to him.

And now, Du Busi was here for him?

Yan Shaozhe quickly asked, "Weilun, is Huo Yuhao here?"

"If he is, bring him over immediately."

Du Weilun replied, "I couldn't find anyone named Huo Yuhao. Maybe he was expelled?"

"Expelled?"

"That's possible. His talent was so poor, after all."

"I remember he was a student of Zhou Yi. Bring her here and ask her."

Du Weilun swiftly left and returned with Zhou Yi.

Yan Shaozhe asked, "Zhou Yi, is Huo Yuhao still in the academy?"

Zhou Yi scoffed in disdain. "Huo Yuhao? He was expelled two years ago. He couldn't even meet the promotion requirements, so of course, we didn't keep him."

Yan Shaozhe immediately looked at Du Busi and said, "Senior Du, you heard it yourself. Huo Yuhao was expelled. He's no longer in our Shrek Academy."

"Expelled, my ass! You bastards are putting on a show, thinking I can't see through it?"

"Hand over Huo Yuhao right now, or I'll destroy this place!"

Du Busi was furious.

Yan Shaozhe quickly explained, "Senior Du, you may not know this, but Huo Yuhao had terrible talent. Even though he had an eye-based Body Martial Soul, it was a spiritual attribute. His first soul ring was only a ten-year soul ring. He had no value for cultivation."

"He couldn't meet our promotion requirements, so we expelled him. We're not lying to you."

"Lying? You're full of nonsense!"

"In my eyes, you're spewing absolute bullshit."

"An eye-based martial soul with a spiritual attribute? No value for cultivation?"

"Do you even understand what that means? It means his true martial soul is his eyes and brain! That's an incredibly powerful martial soul, and you're telling me he's trash?"

"Someone with a martial soul like that—how could his innate soul power be low?"

"How could he fail to meet your promotion requirements?"

"Who the hell are you trying to fool?"

"As I see it, you're just trying to hide Huo Yuhao and steal our Body Sect's genius for yourselves."

"You're mocking me like this—do you think I'm too old to wield a blade?"

"Do you believe I won't turn Shrek Academy into a river of blood today?"

Du Busi was truly enraged.

He felt like Yan Shaozhe and the others were insulting his intelligence.

Did they think he was that stupid?

Calling Huo Yuhao a waste?

If anyone was a waste, it was them!

Seeing that Du Busi didn't believe them and was only getting angrier, Yan Shaozhe became even more anxious.

At this moment, the Lan Luoluo sisters suddenly spoke up.

"Dean Yan, Huo Yuhao is still in Shrek City."

"We saw him selling grilled fish at the east gate."

"He was with Senior Bei Bei."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up. He immediately called for Bei Bei.

"Bei Bei, is Huo Yuhao selling grilled fish outside the east gate?"

Bei Bei, understanding the gravity of the situation, didn't deny it. "Yuhao sells grilled fish outside the east gate every day. But recently, he's been unwell and undergoing treatment, so he only sells for half a day now."

Yan Shaozhe immediately said, "Go bring Huo Yuhao here at once! The academy needs him."

"But Yuhao is no longer an academy student. Shouldn't we respect his life choices?" Bei Bei frowned.

"Who cares about that? Just bring him here first. Don't you see Senior Du waiting?"

"Weilun, take Bei Bei and fetch Huo Yuhao!"

At this point, Yan Shaozhe couldn't care less about formalities.

Getting rid of Du Bushi as soon as possible was the priority.

Bei Bei had his thoughts, but under Du Weilun's pressure, he had no choice but to comply.

Du Busi coldly watched the entire time.

He wanted to see how much more Shrek Academy was going to try and deceive him.

This was the last chance he was giving Shrek Academy.

If they still refused to cooperate, then he was going to lose his temper.

Time quickly passed—fifteen minutes went by.

Du Weilun and the others had yet to return, and Du Busi clenched his fists, growing impatient.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and still, there was no sign of them.

Du Busi tightly gripped his fists, his patience wearing thin.

Another ten minutes passed. Just as Du Bushi was about to explode in fury, Du Weilun finally returned.

But what he brought back was bad news.

"Bad news, Dean! Huo Yuhao is missing! Beibei and I searched almost the entire Shrek City, but we couldn't find a trace of him!"

"What did you say?"

Yan Shaozhe could no longer sit still. He grabbed Beibei and questioned him urgently, "Huo Yuhao is missing?"

Beibei hurriedly replied, "Yuhao is truly gone! We searched not just the East Gate and his residence but even scoured the entire city—he's nowhere to be found!"

"He just disappeared mysteriously. I don't understand what happened either!"

Yan Shaozhe's heart skipped a beat, and he took several steps back in shock.

He understood that at such a critical moment, Huo Yuhao's disappearance would ignite an unimaginable fury in Du Busi.

Du Busi would think that Shrek Academy had played him for a fool again and again.

If his anger erupted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And sure enough, Yan Shaozhe's fears came true.

At this moment, Du Busi was already completely enraged.

"Good! Very good! After all this waiting, this is the news I get? Wonderful!"

"So, Shrek Academy is treating me like a fool, huh?"

"If I don't tear down Shrek Academy today, then I'm not Du Busi!"

"You refuse to hand over Huo Yuhao? Then I'll make a bloodbath out of this place! I want to see just how long you can keep him hidden!"

Overwhelmed by his extreme fury, Du Busi could no longer hold back.

He felt like a clown, toyed with by Shrek Academy over and over again.

He was furious.

Truly, utterly furious.

With a single movement, his body erupted with a dense, dark green radiance that shot into the sky, dyeing half the sky in the same eerie hue.

A formless yet overwhelming pressure spread out, making it nearly impossible to breathe.

Yan Shaozhe's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Senior Du! We're telling the truth! Huo Yuhao is really missing!"

But Du Busi ignored him, his aura growing more terrifying by the second.

Yan Shaozhe gritted his teeth and, steeling himself, shouted, "Senior Du! Shrek Academy has a strategic alliance with the Ice God's Palace!"

"The Young Master and the Grand Guardian of the Ice God's Palace are both in Shrek City. Do you want to start a fight here?"

Du Busi's eyes narrowed, and he let out an enraged laugh. "Yan Shaozhe, you little brat! Are you trying to use the Ice God's Palace to pressure me?"

"So this is why you dared to toy with me?"

"You think I'm afraid of the Ice God's Palace?"

Yan Shaozhe's words only fueled Du Busi's fury.

What did this mean? Did they truly believe his Body Sect feared the Ice God's Palace?

Years ago, the former sect master of the Body Sect had been thrown out of the Ice God's Palace, leaving the Body Sect humiliated. That shame had always weighed on Du Busi.

And now, Yan Shaozhe had poked right at that sore spot, making him even more enraged.

"Today, I'm going to flatten Shrek Academy! Let's see if the Ice God's Palace will step in for you!"

"You dare use them to threaten me? Who do you think you're scaring?"

"You think I was raised to be afraid?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Busi's body suddenly expanded more than ten times its original size.

His dark green skin bulged, transforming into massive granite-like muscles, leaving only a single pair of shorts to cover his lower half.

In an instant, Du Busi had turned into a green-skinned giant.

But the most terrifying thing was the soul rings around him—two yellow, two purple, two black, and three red!

Three hundred-thousand-year soul rings emitted a demonic glow, and his overwhelming aura seemed powerful enough to shatter space itself.

In the next moment, Du Busi swung his massive fist and smashed it straight toward the Sea God's Pavilion.

"How dare you!"

A thunderous roar rang out as Xuanzi erupted with endless golden light, radiating an immense and solid energy.

Eight black rings and one red ring glowed brightly. Under the golden radiance, Xuanzi transformed into the true form of the Taotie Divine Bull.

The soul rings that had once been forcefully advanced due to his bloodline mutation had never regressed, even after his Taotie power had been suppressed.

To Xuanzi, that was an unexpected benefit.

Transformed into a massive thirty-meter-long Taotie Divine Bull, he lowered his five-meter-long horns and charged straight at Du Busi.

Xuanzi's attack was undoubtedly formidable, but compared to Du Bushi, the difference was clear.

Du Bushi's fist collided with the Taotie Divine Bull, and in an instant, the enormous beast was sent flying.

Xuanzi was blasted hundreds of meters away, crashing straight toward the Sea God's Pavilion.

At the crucial moment, Yan Shaozhe flared with radiant light, transforming into the Light Phoenix. He managed to catch the Taotie Divine Bull just in time.

However, the sheer force of the impact forced Yan Shaozhe to retreat continuously.

"With such weak strength, you dare to show off?"

"Xuanzi, you're not even worth my time!"

Du Busi laughed loudly, his gaze filled with ridicule.

Xuanzi, who had once been able to fight him, was now barely qualified to stand in front of him.

A mere Rank 96 Super Douluo was nothing.

Du Busi snorted coldly. "Today, I'm tearing down Shrek Academy."

He swung his fist down once more, but at that moment, two more figures rushed out from the Sea God's Pavilion.

Two powerful auras surged forth, even stronger than Xuanzi and Yan Shaozhe's.

"Two Rank 97 Super Douluos?"

"So, Shrek Academy does have some foundation. But… it's still far from enough."

Du Busi roared in anger, striding forward through the air as he charged toward the two of them.

In his transformed state as the green giant, every punch and kick carried the force to move mountains and fill seas.

Elder Lin and Elder Song coordinated their attacks, engaging Du Bushi in battle.
