Lying Flat, Heaven Dou Auction House

Until the match began, Yu Xiaogang never stopped berating Mu Yu.

The host announced the start of the match.

Mu Yu dashed forward in a single stride.

"Fourth Spirit Ability, Thread Pull!"

"First Spirit Ability, Parasite!"

Before the Shrek Academy group could react, Dai Mubai and Tang San had already been thrown out by Mu Yu.

"Brother!" Seeing Tang San thrown out, Xiao Wu's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as she lunged at Mu Yu.

But before she could use Waist Bow, Mu Yu kicked her straight out. Then, a sword appeared in Mu Yu's hand, its tip resting against the side of Xiao Wu's neck.

"Xiao Wu!"

Mu Yu paid no heed to Tang San's furious roar.

"Are you getting down yourself, or do I have to kick you down?"

Seeing that Xiao Wu did not respond, Mu Yu showed no mercy and kicked her off the stage.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who remained on the field, tensed all over. The two girls simply walked off the Soul Arena, since they had no desire to be beaten up by Mu Yu.

Mu Yu charged toward Ma Hongjun. He immediately surrendered. "Sister, sister, sister! I'll get down myself, no need for you to do it!" Then he dragged Oscar off the stage, leaving even the host dumbfounded.

Mu Yu looked at the host impatiently. "Are you still not going to announce the end?"

"O-oh! Congratulations to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for winning this spirit duel!"

After the match ended, Mu Yu, Dugu Yan, and the others gracefully walked off the stage, leaving Dai Mubai and the others looking utterly disheveled.

"Xiao Yu'er, that was the most comfortable match we've ever fought."

"Yeah, Boss Mu carried us straight to victory!"

"Boss Mu is mighty!"

Things were not so pleasant on Qin Ming's side, but he still went to meet Flender and the others, explaining that he wanted Shrek Academy to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Flender readily agreed. After all, the environment at Heaven Dou Royal Academy was certainly much better than Shrek Academy's.

As for what came next, Mu Yu did not want to get too involved. Her top priority was to send off these living King Yamas who kept trying to drain her money.

In any case, Shrek Academy would never settle into the Royal Academy, not while Dugu Bo was still around.

If they wanted to go to Blue Tyrant Academy, then they could go. She could have Jiang Zhu keep an eye on them when the time came; it would not be a problem.

If they participated in the Soul Master Tournament... then let them participate. She would definitely join the Royal Academy's team, and with Spirit Hall involved as well, the spirit bones would never end up in Tang San's hands.

"Yanyan, I think Shrek Academy might make some moves soon. I have a bit of a grudge against them, so make sure they don't cause trouble."

"Mm, no problem."

"Boss Mu, don't worry. With us brothers around, there definitely won't be any problem!"

"Mm, then I'll be counting on you guys~"

While Mu Yu was still chatting with everyone, Yu Xiaogang appeared. He had originally come to find Yu Tianheng... but then he saw Mu Yu...

"Good! So it was you, deliberately targeting my disciples! You..."

Yu Xiaogang's insults were so unpleasant that everyone from the Royal Academy frowned in displeasure.

Dugu Yan was just about to fly into a rage when Mu Yu stopped her.

Mu Yu glanced at Yu Tianheng. Clearly, his expression was not good either.

Although Mu Yu was not as close to Yu Tianheng as she was to Osler and the others, they could still be considered friends. On top of that, Mu Yu was close with Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng...

So Yu Tianheng was somewhat furious as well. If the man before him had not been his uncle, he might have killed him already.

Mu Yu could not be bothered to waste words on someone like Yu Xiaogang and simply ignored him.

After Mu Yu left, the people from the Royal Academy suppressed the urge to give Yu Xiaogang a good beating and departed one after another.

Yu Tianheng had no desire to pay Yu Xiaogang any attention and left angrily.

As for Qin Ming, he still wanted to bring the Shrek Academy group to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so he began praising Shrek Academy to the education committee in every possible way.

Mu Yu paid absolutely no attention to this. Thus, the original plot did not change. With Dugu Bo stirring things up, the Shrek Academy group could only leave, along with Qin Ming.

Then they met Liu Erlong and went to Blue Tyrant Academy... (There was too much that happened afterward, so the timeline skipped straight to Dugu Bo capturing Tang San~)

"Do you know who Little San's father is? He's someone you can't afford to provoke!"

"Oh? There aren't many people I can't afford to provoke."

"His father is Tang Hao!"

"So what if he's Tang Hao? Why are you shouting so loudly..."

Yu Xiaogang was somewhat shocked by his attitude. "Dugu Bo, aren't you afraid that Tang Hao will take revenge on you?"

At that moment, Mu Yu came out carrying Tang San in one hand.

"I'm afraid Tang Hao wouldn't dare confront me head-on."

Mu Yu's voice reached the ears of the three men, and they froze.

"It's you!" Yu Xiaogang glared at Mu Yu through gritted teeth.

"Little San!" The moment he saw Tang San, he lunged at him.

Liu Erlong was also stunned. Wasn't this the girl who had saved Jiang Zhu and the others? Why was she here?

Flender was the first to react. "Your Highness! Please, spare our lives!"

Mu Yu snorted softly. "Old Poison, give me some face this time and let them go."

Hearing Mu Yu's words, Flender let out a breath of relief.

"But he took your things. One matter is one matter—I can't plead for him on this."

Flender's whole body tensed again. Dugu Bo was famously vengeful... This kid actually...

"If I hadn't been there, Old Poison's apothecary might have been cleaned out by him."

Mu Yu spoke calmly, but Dugu Bo was anything but calm. "What did you say? This brat dared to take my things?!"

"How about this? Old Poison just happened to concoct a new poison recently. Let him test it."

"I think that's a fine idea."

While Mu Yu and Dugu Bo were loudly plotting together, Yu Xiaogang suddenly went mad again.

"If you've got the guts, come at me! Don't touch Little San!"

Dugu Bo: He had never heard such a request in his life.

"Fine. Then I'll use you to test the poison."

Afraid that Yu Xiaogang might regret it, Dugu Bo immediately jabbed a silver needle into Yu Xiaogang's neck.

Dugu Bo had already learned that Yu Xiaogang had cursed Mu Yu. This was the perfect excuse to deal with him. Though Dugu Bo had never needed an excuse to deal with anyone...

"Alright, you can leave now. And remember, if this brat dares provoke me, my granddaughter, or... her again—"

Dugu Bo pointed at Mu Yu.

"Then death will be unavoidable for him."

With that, he turned and left.

"Everyone, off you go. Remember what Old Poison said~"

After making a dashing exit, Mu Yu planned to get some proper rest. Once the Soul Master Tournament began, she probably would not have it so easy anymore.

(Mu Yu's schedule: eat at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, eat at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, return to Suotuo City to eat, return to Spirit Hall to eat.)

Oh, right. To keep Your Excellency the Pope from becoming lovesick, Mu Yu had gone to great lengths, crying to Bibi Dong every day about how Yu Xiaogang had bullied her.

Bibi Dong was left utterly bewildered by what she heard, but when she learned of the vile things Yu Xiaogang had said about Mu Yu, she felt that even if Mu Yu had cut him down on the spot, there would have been nothing wrong with it...

Tang San was not having an easy time at Blue Tyrant Academy either. He often clashed with his classmates. Although Liu Erlong favored him because of her feelings for Yu Xiaogang and treated Tang San like her own son, she could not openly side with Tang San in front of so many students...

Furthermore, the school uniforms made by Flender had already stirred widespread dissatisfaction among the students. Now, no one even spared Shrek Academy's students a proper glance.

The Soul Master Tournament proceeded as usual. Although Jiang Zhu and the others were reluctant to serve as substitutes, there was no helping it.

Mu Yu had already arranged things with the Royal Academy in advance. She was merely a nominal substitute team member.

She had decided to deliver justice from the heavens to Tang Hao when the Soul Master Tournament ended, so for now, she needed to rest properly~

"Xiao Yu, you're saying you want to participate in the Soul Master Tournament?" Qian Daoliu asked in confusion.

"That's right."

"Representing Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Mm."

"Why not represent Spirit Hall?"

"...Because it makes me happy."

"..."

After a deathly silence, Mu Yu walked over to Qian Daoliu.

"Grandpa, representing the Royal Academy makes the most sense. Besides, isn't all this for the sake of dealing with Tang Hao~"

"Fine..."

Two days before the tournament, Mu Yu returned to the Royal Academy to learn the rules. Although she had known quite a bit about Douluo in her previous life, her memory of the Soul Master Tournament was truly rather vague.

Meng Shenji attached great importance to this tournament, so he personally explained the rules to the team members.

"Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, Osler, and Yu Feng will form the main team. You will advance directly to the finals. Student Mu Yu will serve as a substitute."

"The rest of you will form the second team. Make sure you listen carefully to the tournament rules."

"The two great empires will each have two teams. The main teams and Spirit Hall's team will be seeded teams."

"The second teams will participate in the preliminaries first. The Heaven Dou Empire has six preliminary divisions, with over a hundred participating teams competing for only fifteen spots."

"Because the Heaven Dou City division has many advanced Soul Master Academies, it will have five qualifying spots."

"The preliminary round and advancement round had different formats. The preliminaries were conducted as team battles, while the advancement round sent out seven participating students to duel one by one."

"The thirty-three teams in the finals would then draw lots for an elimination tournament. The finals used a knockout format, with three seeded teams receiving byes in the first round."

"In the second round, the two highest-ranked teams from the advancement round would receive byes. The third round would be the same as the second."

"After the third round, the remaining teams would be the tournament's final six. In the fourth round, the six teams would draw lots for team battles. The top three would then compete through both team battles and individual elimination matches."

"That's the basic format. Does everyone understand?"

"Understood!"

So the Spirit Master Tournament was rather complicated too, Mu Yu thought.

It would be best if the Nightmare Beast could break through level eighty before the Spirit Master Tournament.

Thus, in the days before the tournament, Mu Yu basically stayed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well twenty-four hours a day, cultivating whenever she felt like it and chatting with Dugu Bo whenever she got bored.

Her greatest achievement was beating Xi Ruo and Di Tian several times at poker, swindling all the treasures off them.

Mu Yu, engrossed in her lavish pleasures, nearly missed the time she had arranged with Ning Fengzhi to auction items at the auction house.

She hurried back to the Heaven Dou Auction House in Heaven Dou City.

"Huh? Grandpa Jian? Where's Uncle Ning?"

"You little girl, you came so late. Fengzhi went in first and told me to wait for you."

"Grandpa Jian, I'm really sorry. Something came up, and I nearly forgot."

"Alright, alright, stop making excuses. Let's go in first."

After entering the auction house, Mu Yu put on the special mask she had brought and met up with Ning Fengzhi.

At that moment, the item being auctioned was Tang San's Hidden Arrow.

"Xiao Yu, what do you think of this thing? How about I buy it and take it back as a gift for Rongrong?"

"Uncle Ning, she'd probably tear it into eight pieces the moment you put it in front of her."

Although Ning Rongrong and Tang San seemed relatively peaceful on the surface, in truth, both of them were plotting how to kill the other.

"Why?" Ning Fengzhi had no idea about any of this and looked at Mu Yu in confusion.

"Because its maker has a grudge against us."

Ning Fengzhi immediately shut his mouth. Even if he were beaten to death, he would not buy it.

If only Ning Rongrong had a grudge against the maker, perhaps it was just the trouble caused by her Eldest Miss temper. But if Mu Yu had a grudge against him too... then that person was definitely no good person.

When Catwoman was brought onto the stage, Xiao Wu indeed could no longer sit still and began bidding. But without Ning Fengzhi this time, she failed to win Catwoman at auction.

She angrily slapped the railing.

"The people over there really don't follow the rules."

Chen Xin glared displeasedly at Xiao Wu and Tang San.

"That person? Is he the one who has a grudge against us?"

Chen Xin: Interesting...

"Uncle Ning, I don't think there's anything worth watching anymore. How about we go back? I know what gift Rongrong would like most."

"Hm? What is it?"

"Giving her a break so she doesn't have to train."

"..."

Ning Fengzhi/Chen Xin: 6

After returning to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Rongrong was indeed deeply moved by this gift from Ning Fengzhi.

"Dad, you're the best dad ever! I finally don't have to train!"

With Ning Rongrong no longer training, Mu Yu began training herself... After her tireless efforts, she finally successfully reached level ninety on the day before the Spirit Master Tournament!

"Well, well, well, little one, you're quite impressive. It's only been one short year, yet you've become this strong already?"

"Yeah, I've almost caught up to you."

"..."

God of Space: Was that polite?

Sea God: Our Xiao Yu is still as humorous as ever.

Asura God: Exactly, exactly. Xiao Yu is just too amazing~

God of Space: You two are going to such lengths to steal my successor, aren't you...

Mu Yu helplessly glanced at them. "The Sixth Trial is complete. Tell me the reward first, then talk about the next trial."

"As for the reward, I'm so poor that all I have are spirit rings. I can only give you a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring. As for those two..."

"Fine, give me the spirit ring first."

"Alright."

After obtaining the soul rings, Mu Yu's second martial soul reached level eighty.

Because she was now inheriting the legacies of three gods at once, completing each trial represented not just the God of Space, but all three deities.

"Lord Poseidon?" Mu Yu called out to the Sea God.

"I'm also... so poor that all I have left are soul rings..."

"..."

Soul rings it was, then... They would bring her right up to level ninety...

"Then, Lord Asura God?"

"...I'm doing a little better than them. How about a domain?"

"!!! Yes, yes, yes!!!"

"The domain I'm giving you will fuse your first martial soul with Divine Slaughter's Domain."

"Death Domain."

"It inherits the abilities of Divine Slaughter's Domain. Within the domain's effects, your Puppets will inherit the power of the undead, turning the Death Domain into a true hell."

"Asura God, this thing is great!"

"Hehe, right... I think so too."

At that moment, the God of Space edged closer pitifully. "Can I... announce the contents of the Seventh Trial now...?"

"Mm, go ahead."

"Actually, I don't know what else to test you on either... How about you do it, Asura?"

"Then go to the Land of Slaughter and draw the Asura Sword."

"OK."
