Douluo Dalu 2: The True God King-Chapter 274: [DD2]:

Elder Lin and Elder Song—one a control type, the other an agility-attack-type—joined forces, and surprisingly, they managed to hold off Du Busi for a short time.

However, Du Busi's physical body was simply too powerful. Their attacks felt like mere scrapes, hardly causing any real damage. In contrast, Du Busi's punches and kicks were incredibly heavy, posing a significant threat to both of them.

In less than fifteen minutes, as Du Busi unleashed another wave of overwhelming power, both Elder Lin and Elder Song found themselves in a dire predicament.

Though both of them were Rank 97 Titled Douluos, the gap between them and Du Busi was simply too great.

Du Busi's foundation was far beyond theirs. He possessed three hundred-thousand-year soul rings, while they had none. His Martial Soul was on par with a Super Martial Soul, whereas theirs was inferior. He was just half a step away from the Ultimate, while they were merely ordinary Rank 97s.

The fact that the two of them together could hold him off even briefly was already impressive. But as Du Busi fought with his full strength, they became increasingly powerless.

"Is this all? Is this all?"

"Two old geezers on the verge of death think they can stop me? What a joke!"

After exchanging over a hundred blows, Du Busi sent Elder Lin flying with a single punch. Elder Song, thanks to her speed, barely managed to dodge.

Du Busi laughed wildly and roared, "Too weak! You're all far too weak!"

"Is this the strength of Shrek Academy?"

"What about the Ice God's Palace?"

"Didn't you claim to have allied with them?"

"Hah! I knew you were just spouting nonsense. Those arrogant bastards would never see you as their equals."

"Shrek Academy, you're regressing with each generation! Today, I, the Sect Master, will teach you all a lesson!"

Du Busi transformed into a green-skinned giant, charged at the Sea God's Pavilion, and swung his fist down.

Xuan Zi rushed forward to block him, only to be slapped away like a ragdoll.

"Annoying flea, get lost!"

Like swatting away trash, Du Busi sent Xuan Zi flying, dealing a devastating blow to his already fragile psyche.

With Xuan Zi out of the way, Du Busi sneered and launched another devastating strike toward the Sea God's Pavilion.

It seemed like no one could stop him this time.

However, at that very moment, the entire Sea God's Pavilion suddenly lit up.

A gentle golden light spread outward, forming a golden barrier.

Du Busi's fist struck the barrier, but it merely caused ripples to spread across its surface.

"What?!"

His expression changed, shocked by this unexpected turn of events.

In the next moment, the soft golden light expanded further, and the immense aura surrounding Du Busi abruptly dissipated.

All the pressure in the sky vanished in an instant.

The golden light spread rapidly, not only covering Shrek Academy but also enveloping the entire Shrek City in the blink of an eye.

The entire city seemed to transform into a golden fortress.

"The old man has finally made his move."

At the rooftop of Starlight Hotel, Su Yu's forehead glowed, forming a blue-tinged barrier that shielded those around him from the golden radiance.

The power of the world's origin manifested within Shrek City, creating a sanctuary amidst the golden glow.

"This… what is this?"

Wang Dong'er stared in amazement at the golden city before her, utterly astonished.

"One of that old man's trump cards. But since he's using it now, his time is almost up."

Su Yu idly played with Snow Empress's delicate hand as he murmured.

"Time's almost up?"

"Who's almost out of time?"

Wang Dong'er was confused.

"Don't ask so much, just keep watching," Su Yu replied casually.

"Oh."

Wang Dong'er nodded and picked up a binocular, focusing on Shrek Academy in the distance.

—

Above Sea God Island.

Staring at the soft, sacred golden light before him, Du Busi's face contorted in horror. He staggered back several steps, exclaiming in shock, "Sea God's Light?!"

"Impossible!"

"Shrek Academy still has someone who can use the Sea God's Light?!"

The ever-dominant Du Busi was stunned by the golden radiance and immediately took a few more cautious steps back.

His eyes were filled with unease as he warily observed the now fully golden Sea God's Pavilion.

"Du Busi, after all these years, it seems you've truly forgotten about me."

A frail yet authoritative voice resonated through the air.

An elderly figure slowly emerged, speaking in a calm yet firm tone.

The figure was extremely thin as if a strong wind could blow him over. His body was hunched, making him appear frail and weak.

Yet, the moment Du Busi saw him, he froze, as if he had just witnessed something unbelievable.

"You… You're… Dragon God Douluo?! You're still alive?!"

Du Busi's face twisted in shock as he stared at Mu En, the man he had assumed long dead.

This old bastard—how was he still alive?!

"If I had died, wouldn't you have had free rein to trample over my Shrek Academy today?"

"Du Busi, you have some nerve to act so recklessly in my academy."

Mu En's voice turned stern.

As he spoke, the golden light intensified, making Du Busi feel a tremendous threat.

"An Ultimate Douluo…"

Du Bushi narrowed his eyes, his expression filled with deep unwillingness.

Years ago, his elder brother, Du Bisi, had fought Mu En. In the end, Du Bisi had died, while Mu En had survived—and now, he had even broken through to become an Ultimate Douluo?!

How was that fair?!

Why did Mu En get to live?!

Damn it!

Already enraged, Du Busi felt even more frustrated.

Yet, in the face of Mu En, an Ultimate Douluo, he didn't dare act recklessly anymore.

Ultimate Douluos were not to be underestimated.

"Du Busi, for the sake of your late brother, I'll let this slide. Leave now, or I won't be so merciful."

Mu En spoke indifferently, issuing an ultimatum.

Du Busi gritted his teeth. "Not unless you hand over Huo Yuhao!"

"We've already made it clear—Huo Yuhao was expelled from the academy long ago."

"If you continue making a fuss, I will ensure you never leave here alive. Think carefully—ask yourself if this is truly worth it."

Mu En's voice carried a deadly threat.

Du Busi's expression shifted repeatedly. He was utterly unwilling to accept this, but the current situation was entirely against him.

He could see the killing intent in Mu En's eyes.

That old man wanted to kill him.

No—he hadn't yet found a successor. He couldn't afford to die here, or the Body Sect's lineage would be severed.

At that thought, Du Busi decided to retreat.

He stared at Mu En for a long moment before finally spitting out a warning:

"Dragon God Douluo, today I'll give you face. But let me make this clear—our Body Sect will never give up on Huo Yuhao. This isn't over."

With that, he abruptly snatched up Lan Luoluo and Lan Susu before soaring into the sky.

The other Body Sect members also swiftly retreated.

Watching Du Busi leave, Yan Shaozhe let out a sigh of relief. But soon, his expression turned grim.

In the end, they still needed the teacher to step in.

The Seagod's Light had been immensely powerful just now, but the cost behind it was tremendous.

I wonder how Teacher is doing.

Yan Shaozhe's figure flickered, and he appeared beside Mu En.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mu En's body suddenly go limp, nearly collapsing. Yan Shaozhe hurriedly supported him.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

Yan Shaozhe asked anxiously.

Mu En shook his head and said, "Don't make a fuss. Du Busi hasn't gone far yet. Let's head into the Seagod Pavilion first."

Yan Shaozhe helped Mu En into the Seagod Pavilion, and the other elders quickly followed.

Xuanzi returned to his human form and looked into the distant sky, a flash of hostility in his eyes.

The humiliation and disdain he had suffered from Du Busi today had deeply stung his heart.

That feeling of helplessness in front of Du Busi made Xuanzi despise his weakness even more.

He needed power. Immense power.

If he had still possessed his Rank 98 strength today, Du Busi wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant at Shrek Academy.

Everything was because he wasn't strong enough—so much so that even Elder Mu had to step in.

Xuanzi clenched his remaining left fist tightly, his nails nearly piercing into his flesh.

A flicker of crimson flashed in his eyes but quickly faded.

Forcing himself to suppress his emotions, Xuanzi stepped into the Seagod Pavilion.

...

Inside the Seagod Pavilion,

Mu En lay weakly on a recliner, gasping for breath.

Healing Xuanzi earlier had already nearly drained him completely.

For Xuanzi to maintain his Rank 96 soul power, Mu En had paid a heavy price.

Now, after today's incident with Du Busi, Mu En had to put on a display of strength to drive him away, leaving him utterly exhausted.

"Elder Mu, how are you?"

Xuanzi asked painfully, hating his incompetence.

Even in such a state, Elder Mu still had to worry about the academy's future.

Mu En took shallow breaths and weakly said, "I... I don't think I have much time left."

"Releasing the Seagod's Light cost me a great deal. I fear my time is nearly up."

"But Du Busi is still watching. I can sense that he hasn't truly left—he's still lurking outside Shrek City, clearly unwilling to give up."

"I wanted to use the last of my strength to kill him at all costs."

"But I feared that in his final struggle, he might self-destruct and take the academy down with him. This is our home—if Du Busi were to act in desperation, the academy would face utter destruction."

"So I had no choice but to let him go."

"But Du Busi won't stop until he gets what he wants. You must do everything you can to find Huo Yuhao and get him out of here. That's the only way to truly put an end to this."

"Cough, cough..."

As Mu En spoke, he began coughing violently, causing the elders around him to tighten their hearts in concern.

"Teacher, you..."

"Shaozhe, listen to me. You used the name of the Ice God's Palace today to scare Du Busi away, but that was reckless."

"If Su Yu pursues this matter, you must sincerely apologize. Right now, our academy cannot afford to make any more enemies."

Mu En spoke with deep sincerity.

"Teacher, I understand."

Yan Shaozhe nodded repeatedly.

"Where's Lexuan?"

"Why isn't she here today?"

Hearing Su Yu's name, Mu En thought of Zhang Lexuan and immediately asked about her.

Yan Shaozhe replied, "Lexuan went out early this morning. I heard Su Yu invited her to explore the city."

Mu En revealed a relieved smile. "Lexuan is a good child. A fine student."

"If she ever needs help with anything, you all must do your best to assist her. Do you understand?"

"We understand, Teacher. Please rest for now."

Looking at Mu En's pale complexion, Yan Shaozhe was visibly anxious.

Mu En's condition was worsening.

"I... I'll be fine. The important thing now is resolving the crisis the academy is facing."

"Go and make the necessary arrangements as I instructed."

"And if Lexuan returns, have her see me immediately. There's something I need to tell her."

"Yes."

The elders exchanged glances before quietly withdrawing, leaving only Xuanzi behind to accompany Mu En.

...

Starlight Hotel

On the rooftop,

Su Yu stretched lazily while holding a small Snow Empress in his arms.

"That's it? Is it over already?"

Snow Empress looked disappointed.

The battle hadn't even really begun—where was the bloodshed she had been looking forward to?

"What else did you expect?"

"Did you think they'd fight to the death? With that old man Mu En there, it was never going to happen."

"But this is far from over—this was just the prelude."

"Oh, right. Mu Wu, Du Busi is still outside the city, isn't he?"

Su Yu asked as if remembering something.

Mu Wu nodded. "Yes, he's still lurking outside. Looks like he can't bear to give up on Huo Yuhao."

Su Yu chuckled. "The inheritance seed of the Body Sect has yet to find a successor. Du Busi is in a hurry—if he gets the chance, he won't give up so easily."

"Although he backed down today, he's probably also questioning Mu En's true strength."

"Mu En put on a good act, but he can't fool everyone completely."

"When he fought Du Bisi back then, Du Busi knew that Mu En had sustained old injuries that would never fully heal."

"So while Du Busi fears Mu En, he doesn't see him as unbeatable."

"But that's not the most important thing. The real issue is that Du Busi dared to look down on my Ice God's Palace."

Su Yu possessed immense spiritual power and had overheard everything discussed within Shrek Academy.

Du Busi's name was already written down in his little blacklist.

"Elder Hai."

Su Yu called out.

A figure suddenly appeared—Hai Bodong, as if he had been there all along.

"Young Master, what are your orders?"

"Elder Hai, I need you to do something for me. Go outside the city and give Du Busi two slaps. Teach him a lesson."

"No matter how mighty the Body Sect thinks it is, in front of my Ice God's Palace, a dragon must bow, and a tiger must lie down."

"I want these bastards to understand."

Su Yu spoke coldly.

Hai Bodong grinned.

Beating people up?

Now, that was something he was good at.

Du Busi? Not even worth considering.

"Young Master, leave this little task to me. I'll take care of it perfectly."

As his words fell, Hai Bodong's figure vanished in an instant.
