Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 141 Xuanzi's Head Full of Bumps

After Huo Yuhao returned from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

As originally agreed, he first fulfilled all the contractual terms he had discussed with the immortal herbs.

Compared to the time spent on experiments and reflections conducted in the far north.

Huo Yuhao has become quite adept at helping the immortal herbs rebuild a suitable place for growth.

After all, the soil required by the immortal herbs did not actually have the terrifying elemental concentration requirement that Huo Yuhao had when he created the Xuanbing Cave.

Then, it was supported by the large amount of soil and spring water crystals brought from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Huo Yuhao found it much easier to recreate a suitable environment on a proportional scale, as he only needed to make it able to maintain its own cycle.

After establishing a place for the growth of immortal herbs, Huo Yuhao naturally had nothing left to do.

After all, as the young sect master of the Body Sect, he was only bothered by certain matters that were absolutely necessary for him.

Huo Yuhao focused most of his time and energy on cultivation, and just as he entered a period of uneventful cultivation...

At this moment, Du Bu Si was in the main hall of the Body Sect, gathering a group of elders for a meeting.

Because of the close alliance with the Heavenly Soul Empire during this period, the only remaining elders in the Body Sect at this time are the five titled powerhouses who had previously accompanied Huo Yuhao to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

However, in addition to them, an elder from the Body Sect who had not appeared for a long time also came here after successfully completing his seclusion.

Golden-bodied Douluo Jinpeng, originally a level 96 Super Douluo martial soul body.

Now, he is a super Douluo powerhouse whose soul power has reached the peak of level 97, and whose martial soul has even transformed into his own true martial soul.

"Old Jin, that old bastard Xuanzi has caused quite a stir in Tiandou City this time," Du Busi sneered.

Although not everyone knows about Xuanzi, the Gluttonous Douluo, those powerful forces naturally have some understanding of him.

In addition, Xuanzi had been indulging in food and drink in Tiandou City these days, and had not concealed his arrival or identity at all, which naturally aroused the attention of the Tianhun Empire's royal family.

Upon discovering this, the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family immediately sent people to suppress the news and simultaneously probe Xuanzi's attitude.

Unexpectedly, Xuanzi revealed the reason for his arrival without any attempt to hide it.

He indicated that he had no other business here than to see the original form of Douluo Du Bu Si.

Although this purpose was not particularly special, Xuanzi's arrogant attitude and words at the time made it difficult for the Tianhun Empire's royal family to determine whether he had come to cause trouble.

In the end, they could only temporarily ignore Xuanzi's situation and inform the powerful members of the Body Sect about it, who would then report it to Du Busi.

At this moment, Jin Peng spoke up, saying, "Sect Master, why should you be troubled by this matter? There is no need for you to condescend to see that Xuanzi."

"If we don't respond to such provocation, wouldn't that imply that our Body Sect is weaker than Shrek Academy?"

"Although my cultivation level is indeed not as high as Xuanzi's, after rebuilding my cultivation using the Young Sect Master's theories, I can feel the real power of my original martial soul."

"Xuanzi's Taotie Divine Ox is just right to be my current opponent. Let me go and meet Xuanzi first and suppress his arrogance."

Poison Undying laughed loudly, "Alright, then let me see just how strong you are now, Old Jin."

"The others will stay behind to handle various matters. This operation is more than enough for me and Lao Jin to go."

"Yes, Sect Master." The other elders exchanged glances, and although they felt a little regretful, they still reluctantly agreed.

After all, Huo Yuhao had already put forward the theory of the evolution of the main body martial soul a long time ago.

Even with the strongest belief, it was still just theory and data on paper before. Now, the only strong person who has successfully completed the reconstruction is the Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng.

They also wanted to be there in person to see just how powerful Jinpeng's original martial soul was, and how it differed from the original martial soul that Du Busi obtained through the Seed of Inheritance.

After all, Huo Yuhao distributed suitable immortal herbs to the group after they returned, although they might not be as powerful as the Earth Dragon Golden Melon obtained by the Golden Body Douluo.

However, it was enough for them to cleanse their martial spirits and complete the path of rebirth by tracing back to their origins.

If they could witness the changes in Jinpeng's martial soul, they might have a better chance of success.

At this moment, Du Busi and Jin Peng had already transformed into two streams of light and escaped from the Body Sect.

As two streaks of light, one green and one gold, streaked across the sky, they were rushing toward Tiandou City at top speed.

The largest restaurant in Tiandou City has been booked out for the past few days.

Or perhaps it was because of Xuanzi's presence that the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family dispersed other unrelated personnel.

Although Xuanzi did not do so, his pride as a Shrek Academy student would prevent him from refusing this kind of treatment.

Since the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family had done this, Xuanzi still generously paid for the entire venue.

After all, this is different from him shamelessly competing for resources that are extremely important to soul masters, or those high-level soul tools.

Even the most extravagant food and drinks are something Taotie Douluo Xuanzi can afford; he wouldn't want to lose face for himself and Shrek Academy in a place like this.

Just as Xuanzi was still indulging in his feast, an unpleasant voice reached his ears.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Taotie Douluo, but seeing you today, I feel that you are not as good as before, just like Shrek Academy is declining day by day."

Although the voice sounded somewhat familiar, Xuanzi's mind was currently dominated by rage: "Who? Who dares to slander Shrek Academy?"

Through his spiritual and soul power, Xuanzi quickly located the owner of the voice, who was currently high in the sky outside Tiandou City.

Because of the alcohol, and because Shrek Academy had indeed been declining under his leadership over the years, lies wouldn't hurt anyone; the truth was the sharpest weapon.

Enraged, Xuanzi smashed through the roof of the restaurant, threw down a Shrek Academy exclusive gold card, and then chased after the person.

Sensing Xuanzi's approach, Jinpeng did not immediately confront him. Instead, he gradually increased the distance while continuing to provoke Xuanzi until he led him to a deserted place.

"No wonder that voice sounded so familiar. It's you, Jin Peng! Where's Poison Old Monster? Could it be that he sent you, the Grand Elder, to see me, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion?"

When the two met, Xuanzi said coldly that after a period of chasing, he had sobered up quite a bit, but his anger had not yet subsided.

"Xuanzi, you're really getting worse with age."

Jin Peng retorted sarcastically, "The strong are respected, and strength is paramount. My Body Sect Master is now an unparalleled powerhouse, a Limit Douluo."

"Even as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, you are merely a Super Douluo. How dare you presume to have our Sect Master deign to meet you?"

"If you have come to Tiandou City to see my Body Sect, just tell me what you want. If it is to fight, then I will gladly oblige."

After hearing Jin Peng's words, Xuan Zi, who was already furious at Jin Peng's provocative words along the way, roared, "Hmph, so what if he's a Limit Douluo? How could I be weaker than that Poison Old Monster?"

"But since you're asking for a beating, Jinpeng, then come on!"

"I'll show you the insurmountable gap between a level 98 Super Douluo and an ordinary Super Douluo!"

Xuanzi roared, and the Taotie Divine Ox Martial Soul possessed him, manifesting the true form of the Taotie Divine Ox, which was forty or fifty meters tall.

Without probing or maneuvering, he recklessly aimed to defeat Jinpeng in one move, thus demonstrating his strength.

Jin Peng laughed heartily, and with his own martial spirit in hand, he met the attack head-on without any fancy moves.

Compared to the two original Douluo, Du Busi and his brother Du Bisi, who evolved by stimulating their own martial souls with their natal poison, the enhancement of their martial souls was not entirely focused on the physical strength of their original martial souls.

Jin Peng, known as the Golden Body Douluo, was originally famous for his tough body spirit.

There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. The name "Golden Body" is taken from "Invincible Golden Body," which shows how terrifying the strength of its body is.

After the martial soul completed its transformation and evolved into its original martial soul, Jinpeng's already very powerful golden body martial soul has now undergone a qualitative leap.

Amidst the dazzling golden light, the earth-yellow energy bombardment formed by the powerful attack of the Taotie Divine Ox was actually directly withstood by the Golden Roc, and even showed a faint tendency to push back.

"How is this possible? You've broken through!"

Xuanzi said in disbelief, "No, it's not just soul power, it's also your martial soul! How is that possible? Wasn't your original martial soul your torso?"

At this moment, with his martial spirit possessing him, Jin Peng transformed into a tangible golden giant.

The golden statue, which is thirty or forty meters tall, remained completely undamaged despite the fierce collision with the attack of the Taotie Divine Bull.

On the contrary, the subtle counter-force made Xuanzi feel somewhat stifled and uncomfortable.

Xuanzi had naturally noticed something was wrong by this time.

During their fight, he only assumed that Jinpeng had made progress in his soul power, which was why he dared to provoke him.

However, I am confident in my depth and experience at the level of 98.

In addition, Jinpeng's original martial soul, the Golden Body, not only provides the strongest protection for his torso.

The protective capabilities of its golden body extending to other parts of the body are undoubtedly much weaker.

Xuanzi's attack just now was exactly for this purpose; on the surface, the attack directly hit Jinpeng's chest.

In reality, the greater power of this attack was concentrated in the aftershocks generated after the collision between the two sides.

Xuanzi wanted to use the aftershocks to attack the other parts of Jinpeng that were not fully enhanced by his Martial Soul True Body, in order to suppress him and then take him down.

Unexpectedly, the Golden Body Douluo was now completely flawless. Instead, after he received the attack with its dispersed power, he used his combat skills to return most of it to Xuanzi.

After retreating several hundred meters, Xuanzi quickly regulated his breathing, while wiping away the trickle of blood that had seeped from the corner of his mouth in disbelief.

After all, even if Jinpeng's martial soul evolved into his true martial soul, his actual soul power would still be weaker than his.

Even if he had been somewhat complacent and careless, allowing Jin Peng to turn the tables on him, it was still impossible for Jin Peng to achieve such a victory.

Jin Peng laughed loudly, "Haha, Xuanzi, judging from your appearance, you're probably still drunk! Let's fight again!"

Immediately, Jinpeng charged forward, giving Xuanzi no chance to catch his breath, and engaged him in battle once again.

Although many of Jin Peng's previous sarcastic remarks were exaggerated, this one was the only one that truly came from the heart.

Since Mu En's passing, Xuan Zi, with no one to control him, has naturally become unrestrained, indulging in wine and meat every day, and his control over his martial spirit has gradually weakened.

Although this small influence was not enough to cause Xuanzi's soul power to decline, it had an unimaginable corrosive effect on both his combat power and his mentality.

"How is that possible? How could I not even be able to defeat you?" Xuanzi's expression changed drastically.

After all, he had always considered himself the number one person below the Limit Douluo, and even the Limit Douluo was not an untouchable existence for him.

Now even a level 97 Super Douluo can fight him to a standstill. If he can't get his revenge, he will have completely lost face.

At this moment, Xuanzi could no longer hide. Under his control, although the Taotie Divine Ox possessed the Martial Soul True Body, it had not yet revealed its true strongest power.

Now, the true form of the Taotie Divine Ox, which is a thousand meters long, has appeared, standing on the earth as if it were reaching the sky. At the same time, its huge mouth is open, and the earthen yellow vortex is constantly sucking up the Golden Roc.

Seeing this, Jinpeng was not afraid at all. His body immediately swelled into a golden giant of similar size and rushed directly into the vortex of the Taotie Divine Ox's giant mouth.

Although he is called the Taotie Divine Ox, Xuanzi cannot actually use the Taotie power in his bloodline. This move is just an imitation of the Taotie power.

By attracting and solidifying large amounts of earth elements, this most substantial element is used to form a powerful seal to suppress the enemy's actions.

Even though the surrounding area was filled with incredibly deep and heavy earth element waves, Jinpeng's movements seemed to be unimpeded, and he rushed directly to Xuanzi.

The invincible golden body is not just a saying; it is only effective when the difference in strength between the two sides is not significant.

If Xuanzi doesn't use desperate measures to burn the power of his soul core and thus activate the strongest Taotie bloodline of his martial soul...

He was now helpless against Jin Peng, after all, a defensive Super Douluo with a level 97 peak original spirit would give even a Limit Douluo a headache.

Despite the relentless bombardment of the earth element waves, Jinpeng's simple and unadorned punches left Xuanzi dizzy and seeing stars.

Just as Xuanzi was about to explode from the humiliation, Du Busi made his appearance.
