Naturally, Jiang Shengyu wasn't worried that Du Busi would somehow learn the method to undo the seal that bound him. The seal set by Ditian had recognized a master—aside from Ditian himself, no one could break it. And for Ditian to undo it required no special method; if he willed it, it would come undone.
This alone was enough to show just how terrifying Ditian's understanding of seals truly was!
Jiang Shengyu raised his hand and pressed it against that man's chest.
As a wisp of black-gold mist drifted out of the man's body, the soul core that had long been dormant once again began to absorb soul power from the surrounding space. A terrifying storm of soul power even erupted around him!
Jiang Shengyu involuntarily stepped back a little.
The moment he felt his soul core turning again, felt that majestic soul power flowing through his limbs and bones once more, the man's face lit up with joy. He immediately shouted toward Du Busi:
"Patriarch! It's undone! The seal has been broken!"
Du Busi turned and glanced at him, then said flatly:
"Undone is enough. What's there to be so worked up about? Getting all excited like this—people might think our Body Sect is some unruly, ill-mannered little sect!"
"Isn't it, though?"
The words slipped out of Jiang Shengyu's mouth before he realized it.
As soon as he spoke, he knew it was a mistake. Du Busi had already strode up to him and knocked him on the head with a fist.
No soul power was used—just sheer physical force.
Du Busi knew that if he used soul power on Jiang Shengyu, it would trigger the defensive soul tool on him. Who knew who would come out worse in that situation?
Jiang Shengyu clutched his head with a yelp of pain. But just then, this scene was spotted by Wang Dong'er. She immediately shouted:
"Hey! Who are you? Why are you hitting Brother Shengyu?"
Although Du Busi had appeared before during the friendship tournament, at that time Wang Dong'er's entire attention had been fixed on Jiang Shengyu. Naturally, she had ignored this unfamiliar man, especially since Du Busi's appearance had been brief and the tournament itself was already nearly three months past.
Du Busi turned to look at Wang Dong'er, then asked:
"Boy, is this your girlfriend?"
Hearing this as she ran over, Wang Dong'er's face flushed red. Jiang Shengyu said helplessly:
"Senior, you can eat anything, but you can't say just anything."
Even as he spoke, Wang Dong'er had already reached them. She frowned at Du Busi and asked:
"Who exactly are you? There's no teacher in the Academy that looks like you! What gives you the right to hit Brother Shengyu?"
"Old man Du Busi, Sect Master of the Body Sect." Du Busi straightened his posture slightly and lifted his chin as he spoke.
Hearing him report his identity, Wang Dong'er froze for a moment, then looked him up and down before stepping back and offering a respectful salute:
"I greet the Body Sect Supreme! I am Wang Dong'er, of the Clear Sky Sect!"
"The Clear Sky Sect?"
At her self-introduction, Du Busi's brows furrowed.
Although it had been thousands of years since the Clear Sky Sect had made a large-scale appearance—back when the Douluo Continent and Sun–Moon Continent had first collided—even after all this time, the Clear Sky Hammer was still recognized as the number one attack-type martial soul on the continent. No other martial soul dared to challenge its might!
In the face of such a sect, even Du Busi had to tread carefully.
What's more, judging by the girl before him, she was most likely a direct descendant of the Clear Sky line. Otherwise, there was no way the reclusive Clear Sky Sect would send her to study at Shrek Academy!
Thinking this, Du Busi chuckled. In a softer tone, he asked:
"So it's a prodigy of the Clear Sky Sect! May I ask, this generation's Clear Sky Douluo—who might it be, and what's your relation to them?"
"Senior, isn't that a bit improper to ask?" Wang Dong'er didn't answer, her expression shifting.
Seeing her reaction, Du Busi dropped the matter. Since she was unwilling to say, he wouldn't press. He turned back to Jiang Shengyu, gave a snort, and said:
"Brat, looks like your romantic blessings run deep! The old man will be taking his leave!"
Those words made Wang Dong'er's face burn crimson, while Jiang Shengyu was left sweating in embarrassment. Looking at Du Busi already departing with his followers, he shouted:
"Senior, please don't spout nonsense!"
"How is it nonsense?"
Wang Dong'er looked at Jiang Shengyu and said slowly:
"Isn't it true? Besides me, doesn't Ling Luochen also harbor feelings for you? And she's the famed Ice-Beauty of the Inner Court! If that's not being surrounded by romantic fortune, what is? So, I don't think the Body Sect Supreme's words were wrong at all."
"You harbor feelings for me?" Jiang Shengyu, though aware of the schemes behind Wang Dong'er and Tang San, still hadn't expected her to say it outright so brazenly.
Friend!
That's not how this works, friend!
"What? Am I not allowed to?" Wang Dong'er, seeing his astonished look, bit her lip, stomped her foot, and demanded.
"It's… not exactly allowed…" Jiang Shengyu muttered.
Hearing this, Wang Dong'er's eyes reddened. Gritting her teeth, she said:
"You! You bastard! And here I was thinking of inviting you to my home!"
"That makes it even less appropriate." Jiang Shengyu spread his hands. "We're just ordinary classmates. How could I just go to your home like that?"
Wang Dong'er lashed out with a kick, shouting:
"What are you thinking! I'm not shamelessly throwing myself at you! You're not the only one I invited!"
"Who else?" Jiang Shengyu asked.
"Qingtong, of course. I invited her too!" Wang Dong'er replied.
Jiang Shengyu gave her a long look and asked:
"You're sure?"
Unaware of the ties between Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong, Wang Dong'er nodded.
"Of course! Not just you and Qingtong—once Senior Nan Nan and Xiao Xiao return, I'll invite them as well! Oh, and Meng Hongchen too! Yes, Meng Hongchen will be invited as well!"
It seemed that just to get Jiang Shengyu to agree, Wang Dong'er was even dragging Meng Hongchen into the plan.
Jiang Shengyu understood her intent and asked:
"So when do you plan on taking us to your home?"
"Isn't there just over a month until vacation? We'll go then, all together!" Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up as she asked with delight: "So you'll come?"
Jiang Shengyu didn't agree right away. After thinking it over, he said:
"I'll consider it. Wait for my notice."
Wang Dong'er: "…"
She couldn't shake the feeling that something about his words was off, though she couldn't quite say what.
Still, the fact that Jiang Shengyu hadn't flat-out rejected her was already a good start! She decided she would first win over Jiang Qingtong—in her mind, if Jiang Qingtong agreed, Jiang Shengyu would have no choice but to agree as well!
After Wang Dong'er left, Xiao Hongchen suddenly shot up from beneath the lake's surface, saying to Jiang Shengyu:
"You can't go!"
"Good grief!"
Startled, Jiang Shengyu jumped back several steps. Staring at Xiao Hongchen, half his body still in Sea God Lake, he exclaimed:
"What are you doing? Imitating a water monkey?"
