Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 227: Huo Wu Breaks the Theoretical Limit! Star Luo Clown!
Chapter 227 - 227: Huo Wu Breaks the Theoretical Limit! Star Luo Clown!
Shrek's members, including Dai Mubai, were all present.
Naturally, they all saw Huo Wu attempting to absorb a soul ring of nearly 7,000 years.
Ma Hongjun clicked his tongue in amazement, shaking his head:"This is insane! The generally accepted best age for a fourth soul ring is around four to five thousand years. Isn't she afraid she'll burst from pushing it this far?"
Tang San's expression was grim."According to my teacher's 'Ten Core Competencies' theory, the theoretical limit for a fourth soul ring is 5,000 years. She's exceeding that by nearly 2,000 years—this might not end well..."
As he spoke, Tang San couldn't help but secretly look forward to Huo Wu failing in her absorption.
Ever since arriving at Blue Tyrant Academy, nothing had gone well for him and his teacher.
Where once his teacher was respectfully addressed as 'Grandmaster', now even Ma Hongjun was making jokes—this spoke volumes about Yu Xiaogang's damaged reputation.
Naturally, Tang San didn't want to see this situation continue. He hoped it could be turned around.
Dai Mubai, meanwhile, stared coldly at Zhu Zhuqing. All along the way, his eyes had been fixed on her.
"Just keep being smug. You won't be for long. Your time is coming."
His heart seethed with hatred. He had already fantasized about how to deal with Zhu Zhuqing—how to make this woman who embarrassed him pay, once he had the chance to capture her.
At that moment, Huo Wu—still absorbing the soul ring—suddenly cried out in pain.
Her whole body emitted waves of heat. Her skin turned bright red, and her face twisted with agony.
Above her head, the four soul rings trembled.
Especially the fourth ring—a deep purple, thousand-year ring—appeared close to shattering at any moment.
"!!!"
Everyone was shocked by what they saw.
This was a clear sign that the absorption was failing!
"Huo Wu, don't force it! If you can't absorb it, give up immediately—we'll help you deal with it!"Liu Erlong called out urgently.
Although giving up halfway could harm a soul master's foundation, it was still better than forcefully absorbing and exploding!
Huo Wu gritted her teeth and remained silent, shaking her head slightly.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her, her mind stirred.
If Huo Wu succeeds in this, then I could probably attempt to absorb a soul ring of over 15,000 years!
That would even surpass the level of a Soul King!
"Ahh...!!"
Huo Wu continued to cry out in pain.
But still—she refused to give up. The fourth soul ring shook even more violently, worrying everyone present.
Suddenly, Flender looked toward a nearby patch of bushes.
"Who's there?! Come out!!"
Flender immediately released his martial spirit. Seven soul rings rose from the ground—Four-Eyed Owl!
He flew into the air, eyes locked on the spot.
The teachers from Blue Tyrant Academy all summoned their martial spirits as well.
All the Shrek teachers were here now—and the weakest of them was still a Soul King!
"Hurry up and get out! Are you thinking of making a move on one of my students?!"
Liu Erlong, already on edge due to Huo Wu's situation, roared as she too summoned her spirit. She was also a Soul Sage, and while her level wasn't as high as Flender's, her combat strength was even more terrifying.
It was something you could feel.
From the dark bushes, a figure slowly emerged.
If he didn't show himself, these soul masters would have launched their soul skills into the area.
"No need to be so aggressive. I just happened to be passing by."
It was the Soul Sage from the Star Luo Empire, assigned to escort Davis.
He had originally planned to find an opportunity to strike—but hadn't expected Liu Erlong to reunite with a large group of powerful soul masters!
And now that they'd gathered, their strength...
The Star Luo Soul Sage quickly scanned everyone, trying to assess the viability of their original plan.
One Soul Sage—Flender. Hmm.
Another Soul Sage—Liu Erlong. Hmm?
Another Soul Sage—Zhao Wuji. Huh?!
And yet another Soul Sage—Shao Xin, a food-type spirit master. What?!!
The Star Luo Soul Sage immediately felt his scalp go numb.
What the hell?! How does a soul master academy go soul ring hunting with four Soul Sages?!
This was just ridiculous.
And three of those Soul Sages weren't just for show—they were extremely powerful.
Liu Erlong in particular was stronger than him!
No way to fight this!
"What do you want? If you're a friend, leave immediately!"
Liu Erlong's voice was icy."If you stay here, we'll attack without hesitation!"
She didn't care about subtleties—if you wanted a fight, you'd get one. Straightforward and brash.
And the others followed her lead.
Flender chuckled, "I'd take her seriously if I were you... she always means what she says."
The Star Luo Soul Sage took a deep breath, furious inside.
A proud royal soul master—being threatened by Liu Erlong?!
"I already said I was just passing by. Since you're all so unreasonable, I'll leave right now!"
He didn't dare linger another second and turned to leave immediately.
He couldn't risk a direct confrontation here.
Liu Erlong snorted coldly, about to say more—
Suddenly, a burst of cheering erupted from behind.
"She did it!"
"Huo Wu actually absorbed a soul ring of nearly 7,000 years!"
The students erupted in excitement.
Liu Erlong and the others quickly turned back toward the scene.

Huo Wu stood up. Her body was still red with heat, but not nearly as intense as before.
Having just finished absorbing the soul ring, her aura was still unstable—but the pressure she gave off was unmistakably that of a Soul Ancestor!
"Godmother! I did it!"Huo Wu gleefully threw herself into Liu Erlong's arms.
Liu Erlong ruffled her hair, smiling:"Good, good! You crazy girl—you were reckless, but you actually pulled it off!"
"Of course! After all, I was trained by Mr. Dan Heng!"Huo Wu whispered proudly.
Liu Erlong nodded slightly, her eyes reflecting a sense of inevitability.
With Mr. Dan Heng's endorsement, she would've dared to let Huo Wu absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring if needed!
"This really breaks records! If only this girl would join our Shrek Academy..."Flender said with envy.
Huo Wushuang opened his mouth slightly, a mixture of pride and sadness in his eyes.
Huo Wu was already this outstanding... Zhu Zhuqing must be even more incredible.
How could he possibly be worthy of Zhu Zhuqing?
Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, a gleam flashing in her eyes.
She had a bold idea.
If Huo Wu could exceed the limit by nearly 2,000 years, why couldn't she aim for the same?
Meanwhile, the Star Luo Soul Sage returned to the rendezvous point.
Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were waiting for him.
When they saw him return alone, without any signs of battle, they knew something had gone wrong.
Davis asked,"What happened?"
The Soul Sage replied awkwardly:"They... they had four Soul Sages. And many Soul Emperors, Soul Kings..."
With that kind of lineup, if they'd gone ahead with the original plan, he would've been killed!
And if Davis and Zhuyun had gone in themselves, it would've been the same fate!
Davis's face darkened,"How could this be?! It's just a high-level soul master academy! Why the hell do they have four Soul Sages?!"
Zhu Zhuyun looked toward the direction of Blue Tyrant Academy, secretly relieved.
In truth, she hadn't wanted Zhu Zhuqing to be taken away.
Now that the opportunity was gone, she was genuinely happy.
Suddenly, Davis said,
"This can't be the end of it! Go to the nearby sects, hire soul masters, promise them wealth and glory—have them help us attack!"
The Star Luo Soul Sage hesitated:"If I leave, Your Highness..."
"We'll follow them and leave markers along the way. Don't worry—there won't be a problem. Go!"
Davis urged him.

...
Early the next morning.
Liu Erlong and the others immediately set out again, this time to help Zhu Zhuqing hunt for her spirit ring.
Their target this time was a region of higher elevation, as moose were known to appear there. According to the data and maps provided by Mister Dan Heng, a type of spirit beast called the Blue-Shadow Wolf was supposed to inhabit the area.
They arrived at a highland area and came to a stop.
Flender descended from the sky, holding a male moose in his hands.
"Can it really be like Mister Dan Heng said? That as long as this male moose calls out, it'll attract the Blue-Shadow Wolf? Isn't that a little too far-fetched?"
Flender pressed down on the moose, skeptical.
Liu Erlong rolled her eyes and said smugly, "Flender, how dare you underestimate Mister Dan Heng?"
"I didn't mean it like that..."
"Then what did you mean? Just do as you're told! Mister Dan Heng is always right! He said that the Blue-Shadow Wolf is a pack creature—if we're lucky, we might even be able to solve the spirit ring needs of other students too!"
Liu Erlong was full of enthusiasm.
Flender shook his head helplessly. Right now, Liu Erlong was Mister Dan Heng's number one fangirl—no matter what he said, she would support him blindly!
"Alright, let's begin then!"
Flender started punching the moose to force it to cry out.
"Moooo...!!!"
The moose let out a low, resonant call that could travel very far.
Everyone waited, curious to see if it would really attract a spirit beast.
Huo Wushuang sighed. "We've tried all kinds of methods before—either we couldn't even catch sight of a spirit beast, or we ended up attracting something too strong and had to run away in a panic..."
Huo Wu chuckled. "That's because your methods were bad! Just watch Mister Dan Heng's technique—it'll definitely work! Look, Zhuqing is already preparing!"
"..." Huo Wushuang glanced at Zhu Zhuqing sitting cross-legged on the ground in meditation and couldn't help but show a trace of envy in his eyes.
Among the Shrek group—
Dai Mubai looked anxiously at Zhu Zhuqing in the distance.
The Star Luo Empire's Soul Sage actually retreated?!
This was completely outside of his expectations!
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing perfectly fine now made him furious!
"Xiao San, do you think this method can really attract a spirit beast?" Ma Hongjun asked casually.
Tang San's face was dark. "I don't know."
"Hey, you're Grandmaster's top disciple—if even you don't know, maybe your teacher isn't that amazing after all," Ma Hongjun said, shaking his head theatrically.
"!!!" Tang San shot a cold glare at Ma Hongjun, clenching his fists.
Oscar said thoughtfully, "Huo Wu managed to absorb a spirit ring way beyond the normal limit. Could it be that she used some kind of evil technique? Or... maybe it wasn't an evil technique at all?"
That line caused all the Shrek members to fall silent.
If it wasn't an evil technique, then Zhu Zhuqing had received the best training on the whole Douluo Continent!
Younger age, faster cultivation, and even the ability to absorb more powerful spirit rings!
How could they not be tempted? How could they not be envious?
Tang San's expression shifted repeatedly. Admitting his teacher was wrong would be more painful to him than death!
At that moment—
There was a sudden rustling in the forest in the distance.
"Something's not right! Something's coming!" Flender warned just as a signal was fired from a Blue Lightning Tyrant Academy scout.
A plume of black smoke shot up into the air.
"A ten-thousand-year spirit beast!" Liu Erlong exclaimed in delight.
Flender muttered, "This actually worked? That's insane! Who's really the master here?"
Liu Erlong promptly killed the moose with a single kick, then her body ignited with flames as she leapt toward the direction of the incoming spirit beast.
"Everyone else, protect the students!" Flender instructed, and he and Zhao Wuji also rushed forward.
The students remained calm and watched eagerly in the direction the teachers had gone.
In an instant—
A blur of movement shot out from the forest.
It was a blue-green wolf about five meters long, with a pitch-black wound on its waist, but no blood was flowing.
It was fast, but its movement was unstable.
"Beast! Stop right there!" Liu Erlong roared and crashed head-on into the Blue-Shadow Wolf!
BANG!!!
A red and a blue figure collided.
Liu Erlong was pushed back a few meters, but she managed to clamp both hands on the wolf's jaws, holding it firmly in place!
"AWOOOOO...!!!"
The Blue-Shadow Wolf couldn't close its mouth, flailing wildly with its claws.
One paw swung toward Liu Erlong's body.
But she was unafraid—her body was now covered in a layer of dragon scales. The massive wolf paw slammed into her, but did nothing.
"Down you go!"
Flender and Zhao Wuji struck simultaneously—targeting the wolf's limbs and waist.
For wolf-type spirit beasts, the waist was the biggest weakness.
Instantly, the wolf's limbs were broken and its waist collapsed.
"AWOOO...!"
The wolf howled in pain, but the next second, Liu Erlong forcibly tore its jaw apart!
Forget crying out—it couldn't even close its mouth anymore!
"..."
Everyone watched Liu Erlong's brutal technique in fear.
This woman was savage!
Flender looked at the wolf's teeth, frowning slightly.
"According to Mister Dan Heng's information, this beast is about 15,000 years old..."
Liu Erlong didn't hear that—she had only glanced at it quickly and was already yelling excitedly:
"Zhuqing! Come here! A ten-thousand-year Blue-Shadow Wolf! This is the perfect spirit beast for you!"
Just then, a voice rang out.
"Stop! That beast is mine!"
Before the voice even faded, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Liu Erlong and the others didn't even have time to react—the Blue-Shadow Wolf they had just subdued was taken away by the stranger!
"!!!"
Flender's face changed drastically. Only a Titled Douluo could do this!
"Who the hell are you?! You dare rob me—" Liu Erlong began shouting.
Flender quickly grabbed her arm and stomped on her foot. "Don't be impulsive, Erlong! Show respect before a Title Douluo!"
Only then did Liu Erlong realize they had just run into a Titled Douluo!
The figure before them was none other than Ghost Douluo.
Ghost Douluo let out a cold snort and pointed to the injury on the Blue-Shadow Wolf's waist. "This is my prey. Don't say I bullied you."
"..."
Just then, Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived with Hu Liena and two others.
"Grandpa Gui, did you catch the spirit beast for my brother?"
Ghost Douluo turned and smiled. "Yes, come quickly."
Liu Erlong looked angry and dissatisfied.
Flender immediately sent her a voice transmission, "Erlong, don't you dare mess this up!"
