Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 161 Life and Destruction, Pushing the Limits!

The lights were bright, and the night was silent.

When Mu Ye, who was sitting in the main seat, saw Jiang Xiu return, his eyes lit up slightly. He pointed to the chair on the side and said, "Little Xiu is back. Please sit down. Your master has something to tell you."

Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, gave his senior brother a look, and asked what major event had occurred. Aruheng shrugged, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Little Xiu, during the time I was in seclusion, besides those two old fogies, Zhuoshi and Cai Yue'er, were there any other shameless old fogies who came to bully our Body Sect?" Mu Ye asked softly after Jiang Xiu sat down.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu felt a surge of warmth in his heart and shook his head slightly, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Master. No one else is bullying me, but there is something I decided without your permission..."

"Are you talking about going to Shrek Academy for an exchange program?" Seeing Jiang Xiu hesitate, Mu Ye waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's a small matter for you to decide. I won't interfere with your thoughts."

"Besides, I've heard from Master Leng that Shrek Academy is willing to use money to save face, so let's give them that face. We can also use Shrek Academy's resources to strengthen ourselves, so why not?"

Makino's expression was completely genuine, and his tone was extremely carefree.

If even his own apprentice doesn't believe him, he'll feel like he's not a good enough master.

Having taught Jiang Xiu for nearly five years, he naturally understood Jiang Xiu's personality perfectly, and knew that Jiang Xiu could never be brainwashed by Shrek Academy.

Perhaps his apprentice could even brainwash... no, persuade...

"Thank you, Master." Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered as he solemnly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude.

"There's no need for such clichéd formalities." Mu Ye raised his hand and used his soul power to help Jiang Xiu up, saying with a smile, "I won't interfere with your decision, but I'm still very curious about what you'll be doing at Shrek Academy. If you'd like, you might as well tell me."

Upon hearing this, Aruheng, who was standing nearby, immediately perked up his ears.

Because he was also curious.

"Hmm..." Jiang Xiu considered for a moment and said softly, "Master, the conditions offered by His Holiness the Holy Spirit are quite good. There are both top-grade soul bones and cultivation resources. Just as you said before, we shouldn't refuse them."

Upon hearing this, Makino stroked his chin, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Xiao Xiu truly inherited his skills.

After a pause, Jiang Xiu's eyes turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Similarly, Master, I want to see if Shrek Academy has been keeping our Body Sect's Body Secrets hidden."

As Jiang Xiu finished speaking, Mu Ye's expression changed slightly, and he frowned, saying, "No, you are outnumbered and outmatched at Shrek Academy. You are surrounded by people from Shrek Academy. Without anyone to help you, how can you investigate?"

"It might even put you in grave danger, and I will not agree to that. I care more about your safety than the secret of your true form."

Seeing that Jiang Xiu had remembered his casual remark, Mu Ye felt a surge of relief, but still refused with a cold expression.

“Yes, junior brother, you mustn’t take the risk. Those elders at Shrek Academy are all eccentric. It’s not too late to question Shrek Academy after we two brothers break through to the Limit Douluo level,” Aruheng advised from the side.

“Of course I know all that. I have never put myself in danger. Master and senior brothers, you don’t need to worry.” Jiang Xiu said with a glint in his eyes.

He used to have no helpers at Shrek Academy, but he'll have them after entering the Golden Tree tomorrow...

Even Shrek Academy's treasure trove was built on Jin Lao's body.

As for what his senior brother said, Jiang Xiu simply shook his head slightly. By the time the two of them broke through to the Limit Douluo level, Shrek Academy would be long gone...

"Look at you, you're in a hurry."

Mu Ye nodded helplessly at Jiang Xiu. He knew his disciple's temperament well; once he made a decision, he would see it through to the end.

"But if you want to do it, then go for it!"
The Body Sect will always be your strong support.

Mu Ye sat up slightly and said in a deep voice, while Aruheng cast a trusting look at Jiang Xiu.

Jiang Xiu nodded heavily, determined to get everything he was entitled to tomorrow.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now. I have some good news to tell you about your second soul spirit." Mu Ye changed the subject, saying that some things don't need to be said, and actions speak louder than words.

"A second soul spirit?" Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and he instantly became interested. He was already level 39 and would soon break through to the Soul Master level, so it was indeed time for him to consider his second soul spirit.

However, it seems that his master has already prepared everything for him.

"That's right, this soul spirit is extremely special. It has the bloodline of a god-level soul beast, and it's even just one step away from truly reverting to its ancestral form!" Mu Ye said loudly, enunciating each word clearly. "And this soul beast is called the Scorpion Tiger, and the bloodline it's about to revert to is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which is known as the one where an evil god once descended!"

When Jiang Xiu heard the name Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, his eyes widened in surprise, his throat tightened slightly, and a hint of eagerness flashed in his eyes.

He had certainly heard of this spirit beast's reputation; in terms of bloodline and cultivation level, there were few spirit beasts in the entire vast spirit beast world that could surpass it.

The only one recorded in history was the one that Tang San killed 20,000 years ago. He also knew that after the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger died, its escaped inner core created a god in another world, namely the God of Destruction, Zhou Weiqing.

However, when Jiang Xiu thought of Zhou Weiqing, he couldn't help but think of the Destruction God King, one of the five great enforcers of the God Realm.

As far as he knew, after Zhou Weiqing ascended to the God Realm, he inherited the position of God of Destruction, which belonged to the God King of Destruction's camp.

However, at the crucial moment when the God of Destruction was expanding the God Realm, Zhou Weiqing sided with Tang San and betrayed the God of Destruction. In other words, after Zhou Weiqing rose from the lower realm, he had always been Tang San's man.

"What a pity..." Jiang Xiu sighed softly as he thought of the God King of Destruction who was single-mindedly devoted to the God Realm.

Of the five God Kings in the entire God Realm Committee, only the God King of Destruction cares about the God Realm. The God Kings of Goodness and Evil are practically slackers, while Tang San even dreams of making the entire God Realm belong to the Tang family.

In the end, the God of Destruction and the God of Life also burned their origins together to help the God Realm neutralize the strongest and most powerful spacetime turbulence. Therefore, even though the God Realm was later swept away by the spacetime turbulence, it did not damage the foundation of the God Realm.

"The Godhood of Destruction... the Godhood of Life..." Jiang Xiu murmured regretfully in his heart.

After the deaths of the God King of Life and the God King of Destruction, these two god-king-level positions fell into Tang San's hands. The God King of Destruction had said before his death that he and the God King of Life would be reborn.

However, since the divine positions have fallen into the hands of the "kind-hearted" Tang God King, these two naturally have no chance of being resurrected.

The God Realm has also come under Tang San's complete control. When Tang San returns with the Great God Circle in the future, he will definitely have to confront it. As far as he knows, the Great God Circle, which is composed of several God Realms, has a total of twelve God Kings.

Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, suppressing these thoughts. These things were still too far away for him. His immediate priority was to contact Elder Jin and find a way to deal with Tang Hao and A Yin, as well as the Abyss Plane that was eyeing him covetously.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed, as if he had remembered something. "Master, what you meant just now was that this soul beast hasn't completely reverted to its ancestral bloodline yet?"

“That’s right.” Mu Ye nodded slightly, and then told Jiang Xiu the specific details about this scorpion tiger spirit.

"I see." After listening, Jiang Xiu's eyes showed understanding. However, he happened to have the time attribute. If the Scorpion Tiger only lacked the time attribute, it wouldn't be difficult.

"That's how it is. Once you break through to the Soul Master level, go find Tower Master Leng. She put in a lot of effort for this Soul Spirit," Mu Ye instructed, his tone quite emotional.

"Disciple understands," Jiang Xiu said, cupping his hands in greeting, but inwardly he was somewhat taken aback.

Leng Yaozhu helped him so much along the way that he really didn't know how to repay her.

However, adhering to the principle of repaying a small kindness with a great one.

Once he had the strength, he planned to help Leng Yaozhu resist the Qian Gu family. He knew a lot about the dark secrets of the Qian Gu family, but he didn't know how far the Qian Gu family and the Ghost Emperor had progressed.

"Tell your fellow disciples that I will be going into seclusion tomorrow to cultivate and prepare to break through to the limit realm. If you encounter any problems, you can go to your grandmaster uncle or the tower master Leng."

After discussing the spirit, Mu Ye solemnly told the two about his seclusion.

The Body Sect cannot do without Limit Douluo, just as the Federation cannot do without Level 12 fixed-position soul-guided cannons.

During this period, a force was only worthy of being called a top-tier force if it possessed a Limit Douluo.

Whether for the sake of the bet or for the sake of his sect, he needed to break through as soon as possible.

"Wishing Master a speedy attainment of his limit!" Jiang Xiu and Aruheng exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement and surprise in each other's eyes, and then respectfully addressed Mu Ye in unison.

"Hmm." Mu Ye looked at his two disciples, feeling quite relieved. Then, as if remembering something, he hesitated and said, "Or, if you encounter anything extremely serious, you can go to Hall Master Hu of the Tang Clan..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly and instantly realized that the Master Hu mentioned by his master was Hu Jie.

But in his view, Hu Jie would not return to the Body Sect, so why is he now willing to help them?
"Could it be because of the butterfly effect I caused?" Jiang Xiu pondered silently, but in any case, it was good news.

"Alright, it's getting late, you should both go and get some rest." After giving them a few more instructions, Mu Ye gave the two of them a deep look and waved his hand.

"Yes." Jiang Xiu bowed slightly, then prepared to leave the main hall to conserve his energy for what he needed to do tomorrow.

"Junior brother, you go back first. I have something to say to Master." Aruheng scratched his head and said to Jiang Xiu.

Jiang Xiu naturally had no objection to this.

After Jiang Xiu left, Mu Ye looked at his somewhat secretive eldest disciple and said with amusement:
"Speak, what brings you here?"

Aruheng looked around, then quickly walked to Muye's side, his eyes flickering yet firm as he asked.

"Master, do you still have the medicine you gave me last time?"
