Gu Yuan Wanted a Marriage Alliance

After Lei Dong finished speaking, Gu Qingyang clenched his fist, circulated his Dou Qi, and charged straight at Lei Dong.

"Whoosh~!"

When the wind-swept punch thundered toward Lei Dong, Lei Dong casually raised his hand and blocked it.

At that moment, Gu Qingyang spun around. His left leg had just lifted when he kicked toward Lei Dong's face, only for Lei Dong to casually grab it and swing him around.

Lei Dong had trained his body for many years, and his arm strength was several times greater than that of his peers. Combined with his Dou Emperor strength, swinging Gu Qingyang around was as easy as playing with him.

The instant Gu Qingyang was swung up, he directly released the might of a Dou Emperor, hoping to shake Lei Dong away.

Unfortunately, he was thinking too much.

That little bit of pressure was completely insignificant before Lei Dong.

"Bang~!"

After flinging him away, Lei Dong flipped up and struck Gu Qingyang directly in the stomach with one kick!

Following a loud explosion, Gu Qingyang was sent flying.

But it was not over. Although Gu Qingyang was in so much pain that sweat broke out, he still stubbornly formed Dou Qi Wings and remained suspended in midair.

"Huff~..."

Clutching his stomach, Gu Qingyang's face twisted slightly. After recovering for a moment, his somewhat pale face turned toward Lei Dong. "Next, I will use my full strength. Be careful!"

This was merely a friendly spar, so Gu Qingyang still gave him a warning to avoid any accidents. He intended to decide the victor with one move, because judging from their close-quarters battle just now, Lei Dong's physical toughness was actually no weaker than that of a Rank 6 Magical Beast.

Although Lei Dong was disdainful inside, he still wore a calm expression on the surface. He extended a hand and said, "Please!"

In the next moment, Gu Qingyang extended a finger toward Lei Dong. Explosive energy began gathering and surging around his fingertip.

"Heavenly Slaughter Finger!"

After Gu Qingyang shouted, the energy at his fingertip thundered straight toward Lei Dong.

Just by sensing the piercing force of this finger, Lei Dong immediately understood that it was no simple attack.

"Thunder Fury of Nine Heavens!"

"Rumble..."

If Lei Kong and the others could previously unleash only one-tenth of this Dou Skill's power, Lei Dong could already bring out half of its might.

And that was without using Nine Heavens Divine Lightning as assistance. Otherwise, its power would naturally have doubled, or even stacked several times over.

"Boom~!"

After the two energies collided in midair, a Mushroom Cloud appeared! The resulting shockwave even shook blood from Gu Qingyang's mouth. At that moment, however, both of them were enveloped in smoke inside the arena.

No one knew the outcome... Lei Dong was not hindered by the Mushroom Cloud. Following Gu Qingyang's aura, he appeared before him in an instant.

"Palm Thunder!"

In the next moment, Lei Dong saw that Gu Qingyang had exhausted too much Dou Qi and struck his body with one palm.

Although Palm Thunder was only a Mystic Rank Battle Skill, when released by Lei Dong, it displayed power almost comparable to an Earth Rank Battle Skill!

"Pfft~..."

Gu Qingyang had already been injured, and then Lei Dong suddenly ambushed him. He immediately fell from the air and crashed onto the arena.

Since this was only a friendly spar, Lei Dong naturally could not kill him.

After the smoke dispersed, everyone looked over and saw Lei Dong standing tall in the arena, completely unharmed.

As for Gu Qingyang, he had passed out and lay there, his fate unknown.

When Elder Gu Yi saw this, he hurriedly flew over. After examining Gu Qingyang's body, he finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Young Clan Leader Lei, for showing mercy!"

Gu Yi was no fool. Lei Dong had suffered only some Dou Qi depletion and did not have a single injury on his body. Was that not proof that he had shown mercy? Otherwise, Gu Qingyang would have suffered far more than minor injuries.

Lei Dong smiled and said, "Elder Gu, there is no need to be polite. It was only a friendly spar. How could I have killed him?"

After Gu Yi left with Gu Qingyang, he had no intention of challenging Lei Dong again.

Everyone understood that although the people before him were not weak, they were ultimately still mere juniors. They still had a chance to win against those people, but the person before them now? He was an existence far beyond their reach!

After a while, when no one came to challenge him again, Lei Ming appeared on the arena once more and announced the end.

Lei Ying, seated in the main position, was very satisfied with Lei Dong's performance. He also praised the other young clansmen under his command.

A month after the Lei Clan Grand Ceremony ended, Lei Ying returned one day and called Lei Dong out.

After Lei Dong came out, Lei Ying said bluntly, "Son, that old fellow Gu Yuan sent someone to deliver a message. He wants his daughter to form a marriage alliance with you. What do you think?"

When it came to marriage alliances, Lei Ying actually did not need to ask Lei Dong at all. After all, the Dou Qi Continent was still in an era of arranged marriages. The so-called freedom of love was not encouraged.

The reason Lei Ying asked Lei Dong after the Gu Clan sent its message was that he had once mentioned that Gu Xun'er was a stunning Heaven's Proud Daughter with extraordinary looks and a God Grade Bloodline. He wanted to see his son's reaction. Who could have known that his son had no interest in learning more about her at all...

When Lei Dong heard this, he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Father, are you sure you didn't propose to them yourself?"

The Gu Clan was publicly recognized as the foremost family of the Ancient Races. How could Gu Yuan lower himself to propose a marriage alliance?

What Lei Dong did not know was that on the day of the Lei Clan Grand Ceremony, although he had fought only two battles, he had still stolen the entire spotlight. Every Ancient Race now knew of his existence!

This included the Soul Clan. If the Soul Clan had not possessed more than one God Grade Bloodline, he would probably already have been placed on the Soul Clan's kill list.

Soul Emperor was ultimately someone who valued strength. He looked down on bloodlines and the like! After all, a lifetime was simply too long. Even a God Grade Bloodline had to fully mature before it was worthy of his attention.

Lei Ying curled his lips. "Although your father did have that intention at first, you didn't nod in agreement back then, did you? After that, I forgot about it too. Today, after a Gu Clan Elder came to propose the alliance, I came to ask you."

Hearing this, Lei Dong shook his head without hesitation. "Then forget it."

What a joke. Can I still marry Gu Xun'er as my wife now?

Am I tired of having black hair, or do I think green looks good?

Right now, Gu Xun'er probably had nothing in her mind except Xiao Yan!

Since he had not taken advantage of her when she went to the Xiao Clan, he had already completely missed the so-called chance of becoming husband and wife.

As for stealing someone else's woman?

With a woman like Gu Xun'er, even if he dug that corner until it collapsed, it would be difficult to win her heart. After all, in the original story, he was not the only one like that!

Lei Dong knew Gu Xun'er's situation, but that did not mean Lei Ying understood it as well. Thus, seeing Lei Dong reject her without hesitation, Lei Ying asked in confusion, "Son, you don't like women, do you!?"

Lei Dong said frankly, "Father, I'm not old enough to have those needs yet."

Lei Dong was not wrong. He had only just turned twelve. Even if he wanted such things, his own conditions had not yet met the requirements.

However, after hearing his answer, Lei Ying immediately understood.

Lei Ying continued, "Then if I reject Gu Yuan like this, won't I be offending him?"

They had come to propose a marriage alliance, and you rejected them. That truly was somewhat improper.

Lei Dong rolled his eyes and said, "How about this, Father? Tell Gu Yuan that if his daughter is truly willing, he can send her to the Lei Realm. As long as the two of us get along well, I will marry her!"

Lei Dong said this merely to have a reason to reject the marriage alliance. He knew very well that Gu Xun'er would absolutely not be sent over. After all, she was currently carrying out that so-called "mission" in the Xiao Clan.

What Gu Yuan had never expected was that after the Gu Clan seized all the foundation of the Xiao Clan, the Heaven's Proud Daughter with the Gu Clan's God Grade Bloodline would ultimately be given to the Xiao Clan for nothing. Moreover, this daughter was a typical Ungrateful Wretch. It truly was a case of karma...

Lei Ying pondered for a while before finally agreeing. Although he did not understand why Lei Dong was unwilling to marry Gu Xun'er, since he was unwilling, Lei Ying naturally would not force him.

After all, his thinking was not so conservative. Besides, with a son as outstanding as Lei Dong, he did not want to interfere too much in his affairs.

PS: As for how the female characters were handled in my previous book, this one will be the same. I guarantee it will be exciting. Those who have not invested yet, hurry up and get to it. Do something productive for once!
