Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 253 The Idea That Poison Cannot Kill
Faced with Zhou Sichen's humble and sincere attitude in seeking knowledge, Du Busi's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hint of admiration.

He nodded with great satisfaction, his expression filled with pride and arrogance, and said, "In the research of the Body Martial Soul, in the entire Soul Master world, if my Body Sect claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first."

"Looking at the world, it is unparalleled among heroes. You have made the right choice to come to my Body Sect."

"However, I'm really curious about how much of your strength you used in that battle with Aotian?" Poison Undying's eyes gleamed with a probing light.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen calmly replied, "If we only consider the power of my physical spirit, I only used about 30% of it at the time."

"Thirty percent? And that's just the original martial soul?" Upon hearing this, Poison Undying raised his eyebrows high, his face filled with shock and disbelief, and asked, "Then what if you went all out?"

Zhou Sichen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile: "If I were to go all out with my current strength, Brother Long probably wouldn't even last one round."

Poison Immortal's eyes were full of doubt. He shook his head slightly and said with a hint of warning, "At such a young age, you can't make such boastful remarks. If you can't keep your word, you'll become a laughing stock."

Zhou Sichen didn't argue, but just smiled slightly. In an instant, his soul power surged, and the Martial Soul of the Book of Contracts once again displayed its domineering power.

At the same time, five spirit rings slowly rose from his body. The spirit rings were arranged in a pattern of three black, one red, and one black, exuding a powerful aura that made people's hearts tremble.

Poison Undying's gaze was instantly drawn to the five spirit rings. He was first stunned, then his eyes widened in disbelief.

Even though he couldn't die from the poison, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "How is this possible? Your first martial soul is also the number one soul ring of ten thousand years? This is absolutely impossible! There has never been such a precedent in history!"

Looking at the conspicuous 100,000-year fourth spirit ring on Zhou Sichen's body, in Du Busi's understanding, how precious is a 100,000-year spirit ring? It is already difficult for an ordinary spirit master to possess one.

The boy before him had a first spirit ring that was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, and a fourth spirit ring that was a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. This completely overturned his understanding.

Zhou Sichen remained calm and explained unhurriedly, "Senior, you may not know this, but my Contract Book Martial Soul is even more powerful than my original Martial Soul."

Subsequently, Zhou Sichen explained in detail to Du Busi the special features and unique abilities of the Contract Book Martial Soul.

As Zhou Sichen recounted the story, Du Busi's expression gradually shifted from initial shock to blankness, and finally he was completely stunned on the spot.

He never imagined that this exceptionally talented young man would possess such a heaven-defying martial spirit.

After listening to Zhou Sichen's explanation of the abilities of his Contract Book Martial Soul, Du Busi felt as if he were dreaming. The Zhou Sichen in front of him was no ordinary Soul Master; he was clearly an unparalleled genius.

Five rings, seemingly an ordinary five-ring Soul Master, but the power contained in Zhou Sichen's five rings is enough to rival that of a Title Douluo.

From the moment he met Zhou Sichen, Du Busi had been shocked countless times, each time refreshing his understanding of this young man.

After a long while, Du Busi slowly came to his senses, sighed softly, and said with emotion, "So that's how it is. In this light, Ao Tian's defeat was not unjust at all."

"If it were me at the same time, I probably would have had a hard time dealing with someone like you."

Soon, Du Busi understood why Zhou Sichen had chosen to come to the Body Sect.

With the heaven-defying Contract Book Martial Soul and the top-tier dual-attribute Body Martial Soul, Zhou Sichen's talent is arguably the most monstrous existence in the history of the entire Douluo Continent.

Even the renowned six-winged angel martial soul, possessing god-level quality, from ten thousand years ago, paled in comparison to Zhou Sichen.

With these two supermodels possessing martial spirits, Zhou Sichen's future is full of infinite possibilities, even more anticipated and inspiring than the seven gods from Shrek Academy who ascended to the God Realm ten thousand years ago.

Poison Immortal stared intently at Zhou Sichen, and said thoughtfully, "With a genius like you at Shrek Academy, it's no wonder that Mu En took the initiative to propose cooperation with my Body Sect. The deeper meaning behind this is probably not simple."

Zhou Sichen smiled but didn't say anything.

Poison Undying's heart stirred, and he boldly guessed: "I'm afraid your ideas are not just a simple cooperation, are they? Is there a deeper plan?"

Zhou Sichen nodded slightly and frankly admitted, "Senior has keen insight; nothing can be hidden from you."

Seeing Zhou Sichen's reaction, Du Busi was certain of his guess.

He remained silent for a moment, pondering the pros and cons and the impact of the matter.

After a long while, Du Busi continued to lead Zhou Sichen toward the sect.

Throughout the journey, Poison Undying fell into deep thought and remained silent.

His mind was constantly racing with thoughts of the terrifying talent Zhou Sichen had displayed, and the intentions of Shrek Academy, which he represented.

It wasn't until he saw the imposing and majestic mountain gate of the Body Sect that Du Busi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He slowly turned around, his gaze sharp and fixed on Zhou Sichen, and asked seriously, "Does your Shrek Academy intend to integrate the three former empires, and then attack Sun Moon Empire to unify Douluo Continent?"

Zhou Sichen nodded in response without hesitation: "To be precise, this is my opinion."

"My teacher saw my potential and decided to lead Shrek Academy to become my strong supporter and help me achieve this goal."

Poison Immortal closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, a fierce glint was revealed in his eyes: "Given your terrifying talent, I have no doubt that you will possess the strength of the Invincible Continent in the future." "However, if you want the Body Sect to join your plan, fine, but I have one condition."

Zhou Sichen looked serious and said directly, "Please speak, senior. I was born in the Douling Empire and originally belonged to one of the three great empires."

Zhou Sichen unleashed an Oscar-worthy performance: "My desire to integrate the three original empires, defeat the Sun and Moon Empire, and unify the continent is not out of personal greed, but because I genuinely want to end this chaotic world and allow the people of the world to live in peace."

"Unless it is a necessary war, I do not want to harm any innocent ordinary people."

“I know very well that the Heavenly Soul Empire is the home of the Body Sect, and I have always kept this in mind.”

"Therefore, senior, you can rest assured that as long as the royal family is willing to relinquish power, I can guarantee them a life of wealth and comfort for the rest of their lives."

After Zhou Sichen finished speaking sincerely, Du Busi was slightly taken aback, and then a carefree and unrestrained smile bloomed on his face.

A hearty laugh echoed around: "You've spoken so frankly and sincerely. If I were to hesitate and refuse, it would make me seem petty."

"If that's the case, what reason is there to refuse?" With that, he waved his hand, looking relaxed, as if most of his concerns had dissipated.

But after a pause, he changed the subject, "But besides that, I have another question on my mind that I've been holding back. I can't hold it in any longer, so I have another question to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen bowed slightly in a humble manner and said, "Senior, please speak freely. As long as I know it, I will tell you everything I know without reservation."

Poison Immortal slowly said, "After you unify the continent in the future, if you had to choose a sect to protect the country, between the Sea God Pavilion and the Body Sect, what would you choose?"

He had been pondering this question for a long time, as it concerned the future direction of the Body Sect and also involved the redistribution of power on the continent, so he asked it with great care.

Upon hearing this question, Zhou Sichen did not answer immediately, but frowned slightly and fell into a brief moment of thought.

After a moment, he raised his head, looked at Poison Undying, and asked in return, "Senior, do you mean the guardian sects that will be responsible for protecting the peace and demonstrating the majesty of the empire after it is unified in the future?"

Poison Immortal nodded solemnly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes: "That's pretty much the idea."

“You come from Shrek Academy and have a deep connection with the Sea God Pavilion, but I also value your talent and potential and intend to entrust the Body Sect to you, which is why I am particularly concerned about this issue.”

Poison Undying's tone was sincere, making no attempt to hide his high regard for Zhou Sichen, which also indicated the Body Sect's attitude on this matter.

Zhou Sichen gently shook his head, his tone calm and firm: "Even if the continent is unified in the future, Shrek Academy will still be Shrek Academy, and its status as the number one academy on the continent will remain unshakable."

"Over the years, Shrek Academy has cultivated countless outstanding Soul Masters, making indelible contributions to the development of the continent. Its foundation and heritage are unmatched by other forces."

Upon hearing this answer, Du Busi's previously tense face immediately lit up with joy, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "And what about the Body Sect? In your heart, where does the Body Sect hold such a position?"

He was eager to know Zhou Sichen's plans for the Body Sect, as this concerned the sect's future fate and glory.

Zhou Sichen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and he said unhurriedly, "The Body Sect is still the Body Sect. Its unique martial soul research and powerful strength make it stand out on the continent."

"Of course, if Sect Master is willing, the Body Sect is also fully qualified to become a national guardian sect." His answer left the Body Sect with ample room for development, respecting its independence while acknowledging its strength and value.

Poison Immortal's face lit up with a gratified smile, and he nodded repeatedly: "That's right. Shrek Academy has been the number one academy on the continent for ten thousand years. It has a profound foundation and a far-reaching reputation. This is a fact that no one can deny."

He acknowledged Shrek Academy's status and was also pleased that the Body Sect had the opportunity to become a national guardian sect.

Seeing this, Zhou Sichen further explained: "It's mainly because everyone on the continent has the potential to awaken their own martial soul, and the inheritance method of the original martial soul is different from other martial souls."

“It is indeed more appropriate to have a sect that can benefit everyone and awaken their own martial spirit as the sect that protects the country.”

"This will not only inspire more people to pursue the power of their martial souls, but also allow the research results of the Body Sect to benefit more people and promote the prosperity and development of the entire continent's soul master community." He explained the rationale for choosing the Body Sect as the national guardian sect from the perspective of martial soul inheritance and continental development.

Poison Undying wholeheartedly agreed, nodding emphatically: "That makes sense, your insight is very unique."

"However, I have a small hope. I hope that the Body Sect will have the opportunity to conduct research across the entire continent and develop more Body Martial Soul Masters."

Poison Immortal is passionate about researching Body Spirits, hoping to awaken powerful Body Spirits in more people and improve the strength of Soul Masters across the continent.

Zhou Sichen nodded: "That's natural. The potential of a Body Martial Soul is well known. Developing Body Martial Soul Masters is of great significance to improving the overall strength of the continent, which is what I hope to see."

His ideas coincided with those of Du Bu Si; both were confident in the future development of the Body Martial Soul and hoped to contribute to the prosperity of the continent.

Poison Immortal smiled, a hint of emotion in his expression: "I don't actually have any great ambitions. The reason I have this idea is because, after so many generations of dedicated research, we have discovered that, theoretically, before a Soul Master awakens their Martial Soul at the age of six, their original Martial Soul can be awakened through postnatal stimulation."

"Although the probability of success is not high at present, I firmly believe that as research continues to deepen in the future, there will definitely be more breakthroughs and possibilities."

Poison Undying's eyes sparkled with longing and anticipation for the future. For the research of the Body Martial Soul, every generation of the Body Sect had devoted countless efforts and was full of confidence in the future development.
