The Wager

"Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao!" Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes widened suddenly. This name was extremely famous in the Heaven Dou Imperial City. He was a person who could make Titled Douluo vomit blood and fly backward with a wave of his hand, and whose aura could make three Soul Douluo prostrate themselves.

Such a person would naturally attract the attention of many powerful forces.

In comparison, although Lu Yuan is Long Xiaoyao's master, his reputation in the Heaven Dou Imperial City is not as high as Long Xiaoyao's. The deterrent power of an Ultimate Douluo is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

Especially in the Douluo Continent, where gods are absent, the Titled Douluo are the most powerful combat force. An Ultimate Douluo is basically the most powerful being in the human world. A person who can even make the Heaven Dou Imperial Family back down is hard for others not to remember.

Although Liu Erlong usually prefers quiet and being alone, she has heard of the title of Dragon Emperor Douluo.

"Yes, the man behind me is the Dragon Emperor Douluo, Old Long!" Lu Yuan said with a slight smile.

"Hiss!" Looking at Long Xiaoyao behind Lu Yuan, Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes flashed with shock. No wonder this old man in black, although he looked inconspicuous, was impossible to ignore. Even Dugu Bo showed a hint of respect for him. It turned out that this person was the Dragon Emperor Douluo had been the subject of much rumors.

He sent Dugu Bo flying back and coughing up blood with a single wave of his hand, no wonder Dugu Bo respected him so much. After all, no matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn't dare to disrespect a powerful figure who could easily crush Dugu Bo.

Moreover, with the Dragon Emperor Douluo accompanying him, wouldn't the identity of this young man be obvious?

"You're the Lu Yuan who caused havoc at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy back then?" A hint of relief flashed across Liu Erlong's eyes as Liu Erlong looked at Lu Yuan. No wonder the name seemed familiar. So this Lu Yuan was the same Lu Yuan from back then, the one who trampled the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy underfoot.

"It's me!" Seeing that Liu Erlong had realized what was happening, Lu Yuan immediately admitted it.

"Dean Liu, this proves that I'm not on the same side as the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, right?" Lu Yuan said.

"That's acceptable." Now that she knew Lu Yuan's background, Liu Erlong's wariness lessened considerably, replaced by a bit more goodwill. She herself disliked the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is too corrupt. Although it has improved a bit now that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is in charge, the school rule of only admitting nobles has not changed. Liu Erlong still has a lot of opinions about this.

Moreover, it is said that the reason why Lu Yuan caused such a scene at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was because the Four Emperors of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family bullied a commoner student.

Whether this rumor is true or false, it at least shows that Lu Yuan is relatively approachable to commoners, unlike other nobles who often look down on them.

Therefore, Liu Erlong had come to believe a great deal of what Lu Yuan had said.

"Then Dean Liu doesn't need to worry that I have any bad views on students from ordinary backgrounds, right? Actually, I have a lot of goodwill towards students from ordinary backgrounds," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"I heard that you gave Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan a good beating back in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Liu Erlong didn't answer, but instead asked Lu Yuan another question.

"Yes, what, Dean Liu wants to get revenge for Yu Tianheng? If I remember correctly, although Dean Liu comes from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, his relationship with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan doesn't seem to be very harmonious, right?" Lu Yuan said.

"You seem to have figured me out quite well," Liu Erlong said casually.

"Heh, since I want to buy Blue Tyrant Academy, I naturally need to do some homework beforehand. I just happen to know a little bit about Dean Liu's affairs," Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Really?" Liu Erlong raised her beautiful eyes and carefully examined Lu Yuan.

"What's wrong, Dean Liu? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?" Lu Yuan asked.

"That's not it!" Liu Erlong said, "I see that although you are tall, you don't seem to be very old, but your Soul Power Level is very high. You are truly a rare genius. No wonder you were able to defeat Yu Tianheng back then."

"If you want me to agree to your request, we can make a bet," Liu Erlong said.

"What bet?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Since you are a genius, able to defeat the combined forces of several Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder two years ago, your strength must be even greater now. I won't say anything else, as long as you can force out my fifth Soul Skill, I will agree to your request and sell Blue Tyrant Academy to you," Liu Erlong said.

Now that she knew Lu Yuan was the same Lu Yuan from two years ago, Liu Erlong's worries naturally eased considerably. As long as Lu Yuan wouldn't mistreat commoner students, selling the academy to him wouldn't be a big deal, since her heart wasn't really in the academy.

In the original story, when Flender arrived, she readily handed over the position of dean to Flender without any hesitation. In Liu Erlong's heart, what she longed for more was love. This academy was just something she created to pass the time when she was bored, and at the same time, she also had the intention of helping ordinary students.

As long as ordinary students can still enroll as usual, Liu Erlong doesn't really care whether she becomes the dean or not.

Although she didn't care much, she wouldn't sell the academy so easily. She wanted to see just how much strength this supposedly amazing genius really possessed.

She will only sell the academy to him if his strength is recognized by her; otherwise, what good is it if he has two Titled Douluo?

She, Liu Erlong, would not be afraid.

"Forced you to use your fifth Soul Skill?" Lu Yuan blinked, finding it somewhat amusing.

"Let's change the terms of the bet," Lu Yuan said.

"What, are you scared?" Liu Erlong said calmly. If Lu Yuan was really scared and didn't even have the courage to fight, then she would look down on him. For some reason, she hated men who lacked courage.

"Afraid? Dean Liu underestimates me too much. What I mean is that it was too easy to force out your fifth Soul Skill. Let's switch the bet. If I win, you sell Blue Tyrant Academy to me. If I lose, then naturally, I'll turn around and leave." Lu Yuan said.

"Boy, you seem a bit too arrogant." A hint of displeasure flashed in Liu Erlong's eyes. For some reason, she disliked men who were somewhat cowardly, but at the same time, she also hated those who were arrogant, such as Lu Yuan in front of her.
