It was for Huo Yuhao, after all.
Both the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire sighed in relief. They had thought this guy was also here to snatch Yuwen Tuo.
They all knew the Body Sect's way of doing things. All those with Body Spirit souls belonged to the Body Sect. From the day the Body Sect was founded, there was such a sect rule. Because of this, besides the power of their Body Spirit souls, the Body Sect was known throughout the world for its domineering and protective nature.
A few days ago, that old boy Jin Peng returned empty-handed. It seems he specifically went back to invite Dui Busu.
The Gluttony Douluo was filled with helplessness. Yuwen Tuo's matter hadn't been resolved, and now another troublesome old man popped out.
"Old Monster Du, a few days ago when your Golden Body Douluo appeared, Huo Yuhao stated clearly that his home is my Shrek Academy. On that day, even Senior Medical Immortal Douluo came forward to mediate, saying that the child's own wishes should be respected." Xuan Zi knew that he alone was no match for Dui Busu, and he didn't want to start a war on Star Luo's territory.
However, since this was Star Luo's territory, he certainly didn't mind leveraging Star Luo's influence. As the host, Huo Yuhao came here to participate in the competition. If he were forcibly taken away by Dui Busu right under their noses, what would become of the Star Luo Empire's dignity?
"Is that true?" Dui Busu looked up at Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo, who was seated on the high throne.
The four Title Douluo of Star Luo immediately stood beside Xu Jiawei. Everyone knew that old monster Du's temper was unpredictable and that he acted without regard for consequences. He might do anything to take Huo Yuhao away.
"Dui Busu, it is true!" A voice came. In the center of the arena, an ancient-faced old woman had appeared at some point. Her appearance was so sudden yet serene. Completely different from the domineering Dui Busu, she was his complete opposite in her gentleness.
It was precisely Medical Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er.
"Greetings, Senior Medical Immortal."
Wang Xian'er's seniority was truly too high, enough to be on par with Mu En. Even the arrogant Title Douluo, apart from Dui Busu and Xuan Zi who were currently confronting each other, all bowed to her in unison.
Wang Xian'er nodded. She hadn't wanted to appear, but the situation here was escalating, so she had no choice but to come out and exert her influence through her seniority and reputation.
"Another Title Douluo, and it's the legendary strongest healer in the world, Medical Immortal Douluo Your Excellency!"
Whether it was the common people who came to watch the finals or the participating academies, their hearts were inexplicably excited at this moment. So many Title Douluo gathered together, this was far more exciting than a small final.
"Dui Busu, would you give this old woman some face? Don't cause trouble in my Star Luo Empire. This old woman can promise you that one day, should you have a request, I will do my utmost to heal someone for you." Wang Xian'er knew Dui Busu's character.
Her seniority might be useful to others, but to this stubborn old man, it was useless. She had to give him some substantial benefits.
Dui Busu and Yuwen Tuo exchanged a faint smile. In fact, this was exactly what they wanted. They knew that as the matter escalated, the Star Luo Empire's Offering Group would inevitably intervene. Compared to humiliating Shrek, Wang Xian'er's offer was far more important. They had originally intended to bring it up as a condition during their negotiations, but they hadn't expected Wang Xian'er to be so perceptive and offer it proactively, saving them a lot of trouble.
Wang Xian'er was the world's number one ranked healing soul master, known to be able to bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on white bones as long as there was still a breath left.
She also possessed a unique secret technique: controlling the power of life. She could extract life energy from the air to perform healing. The more vibrant the life energy in a place, the stronger her healing ability would be. For example, in the Sea of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, her healing ability could ascend to another level, possibly even reaching a level comparable to a Limit Douluo.
This method of continuously injecting life force and awakening potential was absolutely a holistic healing method, the most high-end form of treatment.
Wang Xian'er didn't know that this promise of hers would soon create an extremely terrifying super monster.
Compared to this benefit, a Huo Yuhao who was unwilling to join the Body Sect from the bottom of his heart was no longer so important.
"Alright, Old Man still has to give face to Medical Immortal Douluo. Let's put Huo Yuhao's matter aside for now," Dui Busu said grandly.
Wang Xian'er was taken aback. Why was this old monster Du so amenable today? This didn't fit his usual style at all. But it didn't matter; as long as the matter was resolved.
At this moment, Yuwen Tuo stepped forward and said, "Yuwen Tuo greets Medical Immortal Your Excellency. This junior has a matter to inquire of senior."
"Speak, child, this old woman is willing to listen to you!" Wang Xian'er looked at Yuwen Tuo, her tone very kind. As one of the most powerful individuals in the Star Luo Empire, she clearly knew of Yuwen Tuo's background.
"Senior once said that where a child goes, their own wishes must first be respected. I wonder if this point only applies to Huo Yuhao?"
Wang Xian'er shook her head, "Of course not. For any child, as long as the place they wish to go is not a perilous realm of fire and swords, and not a place that falls into evil, as elders, we should support them."
"Not good, this Yuwen Tuo is trying to..." Zhou Yi was startled. How could she not see that Yuwen Tuo was also preparing to leverage the situation? They had just used the influence of the Star Luo Empire to prevent Dui Busu from bothering Huo Yuhao, and now Yuwen Tuo was going to use the same trick.
"Good, then today, I ask senior to be my arbiter. I have been trapped by Shrek for seven years, and wasted six years. From today onwards, I wish to completely separate myself from Shrek, and from now on, our relationship, apart from hatred, will be nothing else. Please bear witness, senior." Yuwen Tuo cupped his hands.
"Yuwen Tuo, I forbid it, absolutely forbid you to do this!" Ma Xiaotao exclaimed anxiously. She could accept Yuwen Tuo hating her, hating Shrek, but she absolutely would not allow him to leave Shrek. Furthermore, not in a legitimate way, otherwise, they wouldn't even have an excuse to bring Yuwen Tuo back.
"This young lady is very agitated. Calm down, calm down!" Wang Xian'er extended a finger towards Ma Xiaotao, and a beam of light struck Ma Xiaotao's glabella, instantly extinguishing the flames on her body.
"So powerful! Is she really a healing-type Title Douluo?" Yuwen Tuo was startled.
He could tell that Wang Xian'er's touch carried no offensive power. It was purely her vast and profound soul power forcefully suppressing Ma Xiaotao's soul power. She was clearly only at Rank 95, yet the quality of her soul power was purer than that of the Rank 96 Thunder Douluo Yu Yuancheng, and not inferior to a Rank 97 Super Douluo.
This also meant that auxiliary-type soul masters found cultivation increasingly difficult in the later stages. Otherwise, with the Medical Immortal Douluo's abilities, her current rank would probably not be inferior to Xuan Zi and Dui Busu.
