"That fool sure was lucky. He actually got saved."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"It's impossible for someone who isn't a Soul Master to move a Ten Thousand Jin Giant Stone. Absolutely impossible—unless... he was born with Divine Power."
"Forget that fool. You believe everything he says? I'll put it right here: aside from Soul Masters and soul beasts, there is absolutely nothing else on the continent that can move this Ten Thousand Jin Giant Stone! Not even someone born with Divine Power could do it! If there is, then I, Wang Defa, will stand on my head and eat shit!"
"Oh? Here to scam food and drink?"
The crowd broke into heated discussion.
As they chimed in one after another,
Liu Erlong began her performance as well.
As a Power System Soul Saint with a beast martial soul, Liu Erlong possessed astonishing strength.
Yet before the enormous boulder,
she first stretched her muscles and bones, then carefully inspected it before stepping forward to move it.
Off to the side,
seeing this,
Lu Yunzhu did not step forward.
Lu Yunzhu paid no heed to the doubts and mockery of the surrounding crowd.
Instead, he silently fixed his gaze
on the fat Soul King who had just harbored killing intent toward him.
Quick to resort to murder—
as a certain God King would say,
this fat man already had a path to death!
Perhaps sensing Lu Yunzhu's gaze,
the fat Soul King glared back at him without backing down and even made a throat-slitting gesture.
The fat man's meaning was obvious:
he was telling Lu Yunzhu to wash his neck and wait for death.
"Idiot."
In response,
Lu Yunzhu merely uttered this timeless truth.
Like Arthur from the national server,
Lu Yunzhu's two words—"idiot"—instantly left the fat Soul King speechless.
Hearing Lu Yunzhu's words,
the crowd immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahahahaha! How does this kid dare? He isn't... he isn't even a Soul Master, yet he... he dares insult a Soul King-level expert. Isn't he afraid of dying?"
"Did you forget? This kid is a fool, the kind of fool who fears neither heaven nor earth. What wouldn't he dare to do?"
"Exactly. He's a fool. Otherwise, how could he say something so ignorant? Someone who isn't a Soul Master wants to move a Ten Thousand Jin Giant Stone? That's simply impossible! Even someone born with Divine Power couldn't do it!"
"For an ordinary person, being able to move a hundred-jin boulder would already be impressive. Let alone ten thousand jin!"
"This fool is hilarious. He even dares curse a Soul King! Hahahahaha!"
Clenching his fists,
gritting his teeth,
and listening to the crowd's unrestrained laughter,
the face-conscious fat Soul King's eyes filled with unmistakable resentment.
He swore
that once he caught Lu Yunzhu,
he would make him understand just how formidable his methods were.
In the distance,
watching Lu Yunzhu,
the old man who appeared to be a coachman but was actually Spirit Hall's Snake Lance Douluo, Yu Long, said with a smile,
"This kid is quite interesting."
"Are all fools like this?"
"Never mind his absurd claim that someone who isn't a Soul Master can move that boulder. Now he even dares insult that fat Soul King. Does he not know the difference between life and death? What a laugh."
After saying that,
a clear smile appeared on Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long's face.
His smile was filled with amusement and interest.
At this,
inside the carriage,
Qian Renxue, who was posing as Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, said nothing after hearing those words.
Her expression still as calm as an ancient well, she continued to watch and observe Lu Yunzhu.
"A fool facing the ridicule and doubts of so many people would never remain unmoved. Yet his indifference is full of calmness and confidence. This... is not a state an ordinary person could attain, much less behavior a fool should display."
"So..."
"He... is extraordinary... and far from simple!"
How deep were Qian Renxue's schemes and calculations?
It was precisely because of this that she easily noticed something unusual about Lu Yunzhu.
Hearing Qian Renxue's murmur,
Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long smiled and said,
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I checked with my spiritual power just now. There truly isn't the slightest trace of Soul Power fluctuating, circulating, or spreading within this boy's body. At such a young age, his strength couldn't possibly surpass mine either. So he truly is an ordinary person."
"Moreover, he is either a fool or... a madman."
Upon hearing Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long's words,
Qian Renxue's brows furrowed slightly,
while her curiosity toward Lu Yunzhu only grew stronger.
A woman's sixth sense was usually accurate, and Qian Renxue only believed what she herself believed, what she herself had confirmed.
Therefore,
she did not pay attention to Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long's words.
At the same time,
she believed Lu Yunzhu was not as simple as he appeared. Absolutely... not!
"Seventh Soul Skill: Fire Dragon True Body!"
To move this ten-thousand-jin boulder, Liu Erlong immediately used her ultimate seventh soul skill.
The instant this soul skill was unleashed,
blazing, scorching flames emerged from the surface of Liu Erlong's skin and erupted outward.
After successfully activating her soul skill,
Liu Erlong received an all-around enhancement.
Thus, she gave it everything she had, and after exerting tremendous effort, she finally managed to move the ten-thousand-jin Cold Meteorite away.
From then on,
the city gate was clear!
Seeing this,
the caravans and merchant groups at the scene all spoke up in unison.
"Dean Liu truly possesses the strength to uproot mountains and overwhelm rivers! A Ten Thousand Jin Giant Stone is truly nothing to you!"
"Dean Liu truly proves that women are no inferior to men! A heroine does not yield to a man!"
"Dean Liu, a role model for us all! A role model for us all!"
The giant stone had already been moved.
So Lu Yunzhu's task
had... failed?
Explosions—Can Stones Explode Too? Crisis!
"Come on. I'll take you into the city with me."
Patting her hands, breathing heavily,
and drenched in sweat, Liu Erlong had successfully moved the forty-thousand-jin Cold Meteorite away. She then spoke to Lu Yunzhu.
At the same time,
Liu Erlong did not forget to explain why she was saying this.
"That Soul King from before won't let you go. If you enter the city alone, you'll definitely suffer his retaliation. Although I spoke up for you, he may not give me face. So you'll only be safe if you follow me. Understand?"
Hearing Liu Erlong's words,
and faced with her goodwill,
Lu Yunzhu did not refuse. After giving a slight nod, he followed Liu Erlong into the city.
Seeing this,
the crowd did not continue wasting their precious time on an ordinary person like Lu Yunzhu.
They merely felt
that from this day onward, there would be another joke:
someone who wasn't a Soul Master... claiming he could move a Ten Thousand Jin Giant Stone.
Watching Lu Yunzhu's departing back,
the killing intent in the fat Soul King's eyes became increasingly obvious.
He... would not let Lu Yunzhu go.
"Young Master, this time, you were mistaken. That young man in white truly is an ordinary person, and... a somewhat foolish one."
Seeing Lu Yunzhu, dressed in white, leave with Liu Erlong,
Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long spoke with a smile on his face, respectfully saying this.
Upon hearing that,
Qian Renxue could not help but feel somewhat surprised.
Could it be that this time... she had truly misjudged him?
While her thoughts wavered,
Qian Renxue gave a slight nod and said, "In that case, let's go. Those in the imperial palace have likely been waiting for us for quite some time."
After Qian Renxue finished speaking,
having received the order, Snake Lance Douluo Yu Long said no more. He resumed playing his role... as a coachman.
Could it be...
