Grandmaster's Shock
"Then why won't you let me kill him?" Hu Liena looked at Lu Yuan with a puzzled expression.
"Sigh!" Lu Yuan sighed and said, "Although he is a scumbag, he taught me some Martial Soul knowledge when I was young. How can I lay a hand on him before I repay this kindness? Wouldn't that make me a heartless and ungrateful person?"
"Senior sister, you don't want me to become like this, do you?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Alright then, let him go this time. It's too easy for him!" Hu Liena said reluctantly, but she still gave up the idea of killing the Grandmaster.
After all, although the Grandmaster was disgusting, in Hu Liena's eyes, nothing was more important than Lu Yuan. For Lu Yuan's sake, what did it matter if she let the Grandmaster go?
However, once Xiao Yuan repays his debt of gratitude, I will definitely find an opportunity to kill the Grandmaster.
Hu Liena thought to herself.
"Are you coming with me later, Senior Sister?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Forget it, that kind of scumbag makes me sick just looking at him. I'm not going. You go by yourself!" Hu Liena said.
"Alright then, I'll go by myself. You stay here and don't wander off!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"Okay!" Hu Liena smiled and said, "Come back soon!"
"Okay, I got it!" Lu Yuan pinched Hu Liena's cheek and walked towards the Grandmaster.
Hu Liena's absence actually suited Lu Yuan's wishes better.
After all, although the Grandmaster has never met Hu Liena, if something goes wrong, he might still discover Hu Liena's identity, which could also expose his own. And now is not the time for him to reveal his identity.
According to his plan, he might infiltrate Shrek Academy in the future. It is said that the Shrek Seven Monsters Shrek Seven Devils are one and connected by fate. He wants to see if the Shrek Seven Monsters can still become gods after their fate is broken up.
If it could cause the Shrek Seven Monsters to fall apart, or even turn against each other, that might be interesting.
After all, when it comes to the final battle, the Shrek Seven Devils working together can be equivalent to the same number of Titled Douluo. Now that Lu Yuan is a member of the Spirit Hall and has ties to Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and even Bibi Dong, he will never allow the Spirit Hall to suffer the same fate as in the original story.
Since that's the case, he has no choice but to break up the Shrek Seven Devils, and he will also take away the opportunities from the original story, doing everything he can to suppress the growth of Tang San and the others.
Yu Xiaogang, who later became Shrek's training mentor, did play a role.
So even though Lu Yuan was somewhat annoyed with him, he still had to meet him to pave the way for future missions.
Over the course of three years, Lu Yuan's opinion of Yu Xiaogang changed drastically. He had initially felt some goodwill towards Yu Xiaogang, but after becoming Bibi Dong's disciple, his relationship with Bibi Dong grew closer, and he became increasingly determined to kill Yu Xiaogang. Ultimately, Lu Yuan didn't care about the lives of others; he only cared about the people around him.
Cold on the outside, hot on the inside?
That doesn't suit Lu Yuan. He can be incredibly kind to his own people, but Lu Yuan harbors the greatest malice towards his enemies or those who have harmed his loved ones.
Does Lu Yuan really care about the Spirit Hall?
Actually, that's not the case!
He cared about Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, Bibi Dong, and perhaps half of the Golden Crocodile Douluo. As for the others, Lu Yuan didn't care about them at all.
Especially after the God-Slaying Spear awakened, Lu Yuan's mentality became even more serious.
Perhaps there wasn't any huge commotion, but the influence of the God-Slaying Spear was subtly changing Lu Yuan's personality, and what was terrifying was that Lu Yuan himself was completely unaware of it.
Walking along the path of the Nuoding Academy, Lu Yuan soon arrived at the Grandmaster's wooden house. It was the same wooden house, but Lu Yuan's mindset was completely different from that of three years ago.
"Knock knock!" A knock sounded at the door.
"Who is it?" the Grandmaster's rough voice rang out.
"It's me, Lu Yuan!"
"Tap tap tap, creak!" A series of footsteps sounded, and the door was opened.
"You are Xiao Yuan?" Looking at Lu Yuan, who was almost 1.7 meters tall, the Grandmaster could hardly believe that Lu Yuan had changed so much in just three years.
"It's me, Grandmaster!" The Grandmaster was dressed as always, thin and somewhat hunched.
"Come in and sit down!" Although the Grandmaster was startled, he quickly recovered and said to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan nodded and walked into the wooden house.
"Xiao Yuan, you've changed so much! I heard from Ferros that you went out to train and study. You must have made great progress in the past three years!"
"It's alright, my strength has increased somewhat!" Lu Yuan said.
"Have you reached level 20 yet? With your talent, you should be almost there. Little San is already a level 21 Soul Grandmaster. Just a few days ago, it was Ferros who took him to get his Second Soul Ring, a Ghost Vine that's about 700 years old. It's quite suitable for Little San." Grandmaster spoke of Tang San with pride on his face.
A nine-year-old Soul Grandmaster is extremely rare.
"So you've broken through to level 20, are you showing off to me?" Lu Yuan scoffed inwardly. Blue Silver Grass, a mere level 21 Soul Grandmaster, he could have swept through three years ago.
And is a nine-year-old Soul Grandmaster really that powerful?
His senior sister Hu Liena was a level 20 or higher Soul Grandmaster when she was nine years old, and now at fourteen she is already level 38.
If Tang San didn't have Immortal Herb and External Soul Bone, could he have reached level 38 at the age of fourteen?
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
"Really? That's quite impressive!" Although he was disdainful in his heart, Lu Yuan still smiled on the surface.
"Xiao Yuan, what level are you now? Your Martial Soul is Golden Dragon, and you Innate Full Soul Power. Your Soul Power must be increasing rapidly. You must be at least level eighteen or nineteen by now!" the Grandmaster asked.
"Level 18 or 19? Who do you think you are?" Lu Yuan thought to himself.
Seeing the Grandmaster's arrogant attitude towards Tang San, Lu Yuan scoffed. "Isn't he just trying to show off how well you taught him?"
Are you going to make a sarcastic remark about me again?
If I had become your disciple back then, I would be Soul Grandmaster by now.
Lu Yuan found it amusing, but a mischievous urge suddenly arose within him. He said, "As for me, I haven't improved much in these three years!" He sighed, his tone tinged with regret.
"You're not even level 18 yet? You were already level 14 back then! After three years, are you only level 17?" The Grandmaster's face showed a hint of anger but no pride. Sigh, who told you not to become my disciple back then? You wasted three years of your Shiguang!
"I'm only a level 28 Soul Grandmaster now. In three years, I haven't improved much, maybe only by 14 levels!" Lu Yuan sighed.
"What? Xiao Yuan, you're not lying to me, are you? Let me tell you, lying is not a good habit!" The Grandmaster was startled, and then he was about to start lecturing.
Suddenly, two beams of light, one yellow and one purple, rose from Lu Yuan's body, causing the Grandmaster beside him to gape in astonishment.
"How is this possible?"
