Blue Tyrant Mutations Have Been Common Since Ancient Times

Douluo Continent, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

A crowd had gathered outside the council hall, with most of the clan assembled here.

Yu Mingfei knelt in the center of the council hall, his expression conflicted.

Since being reborn in Douluo, this was the first time I had ever knelt.

For six years, I had endured nothing but scorn in the Yu Family. I thought I had already grown used to life in this other world.

Who would have thought that merely kneeling once would make me feel this awful?

Clan leader Yu Yuanzhen sat at the head of the hall, staring at Yu Mingfei with a dark expression.

Second Master Yu Luomian spoke expressionlessly, his voice cold.

"Yu Mingfei, when you awakened at the age of six, your martial soul mutated, and you possessed rank-nine Innate Soul Power.

"The clan spared no effort in nurturing you and sent you to study at Blue Tyrant Academy.

"But who would have thought that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon would mutate into a trash martial soul in your hands? Your Soul Power was fixed at rank nine, unable to advance even an inch. What you were six years ago is what you remain six years later." Yu Luomian let out a mocking laugh. "That alone would have been fine. The clan can afford to raise an ordinary person.

"But—"

Yu Luomian's tone abruptly rose.

"You were arrogant and spread some bullshit theory from who knows where, causing Poison Douluo's Granddaughter to suffer from toxins devouring her body and implicating the clan!"

Hearing this, Yu Mingfei suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide as he stared at Yu Luomian in disbelief.

After transmigrating to Douluo, what transmigrator wouldn't want to seek out Dugu Bo for a gift package?

Naturally, Yu Mingfei had considered it too.

But first, he was not capable enough. Second, he lacked exceptional talent. Even his background was unremarkable.

Dugu Bo would never have bothered with him.

So Yu Mingfei took a roundabout approach. During his studies at Blue Tyrant Academy, he got to know Dugu Yan, who was also in Heaven Dou City. Then, through the clan, he subtly conveyed to Dugu Bo the method for resolving the toxins devouring her body.

It was precisely what Tang San had said in the original story. He had not changed a single word when he told Yu Luomian everything, leaving it to the Second Master to handle the arrangements.

This would facilitate cooperation between Dugu Bo and the Yu Family. On one hand, it would win Dugu Bo over and do everything possible to prevent the Yu Family from being destroyed in the Soul Hunting operation years later.

On the other hand, Yu Mingfei had hoped to use this cooperation to obtain Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, breaking through the shackles of his Mutated Martial Soul.

And continue walking the path of a Soul Master.

But now, the original method had actually gone wrong?

And Yu Luomian had pushed all the responsibility onto twelve-year-old Yu Mingfei!

One had to know that this matter involved Dugu Bo, a dangerous Titled Douluo. Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian had spent days discussing it with numerous elders, only contacting Dugu Bo after confirming the method was viable.

And now, all responsibility rested on Yu Mingfei alone!

Cold.

So cold...

Yu Mingfei felt as though an icy hand had crawled up his back and torn apart all the strength he had to speak.

He could not even muster the strength to argue.

Yu Luomian's judgment continued.

"After discussion by the clan, from today onward, Yu Mingfei will be expelled from the clan and may no longer call himself a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."

Yu Mingfei listened without expression.

At that moment, he saw the clan's true face.

Just then, a sudden chime rang in Yu Mingfei's ear, followed by the beat of drums.

[The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul is highly prone to mutation. Your clever elders had a sudden idea and gathered every mutated bloodline in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]

[After the bloodlines were mixed, congratulations—your parents invented you, the one with the Dragon Race Trash Martial Soul.]

The system? Is it mocking me too?

"Something's wrong, Clan Leader!"

A shout came from outside the council hall, interrupting Yu Mingfei's thoughts.

A travel-worn clansman rushed in, leaned close to Yu Yuanzhen's ear, and quickly whispered something.

Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed. He shot Yu Mingfei a disgusted glare.

He swept his gaze across the room. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

"Word has come from our clansmen in Heaven Dou City. Poison Douluo Dugu Bo is heading for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to demand an explanation."

That single sentence threw the council hall into an uproar.

Every clansman began talking at once, and the hall became unbearably noisy.

"Silence!"

Yu Yuanzhen roared, and the council hall immediately fell silent. The clan leader's authority was plain to see.

"He is a Titled Douluo. Am I not one as well? What is there to panic about?"

Then he sighed and looked at Yu Mingfei with feigned concern.

"Yu Mingfei, although the clan cannot protect you after what you have done, we will not simply hand you over.

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is one of the Upper Three Sects, not some soft target for Dugu Bo to knead as he pleases.

"While there is still time, leave through the back mountain. Move quickly. Hide outside for a while and live as an ordinary person."

Under the pitying gazes of the Yu Yuanzhen brothers, Yu Mingfei numbly rose to his feet.

Amid the strange looks of the crowd, he lowered his head, passed through them, and left the council hall.

"Clan Leader! Are we really letting him leave just like that?"

"That's right, make him give an explanation!"

"Hmph! Luomian, arrange for someone to..."

At the back mountain of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Mingfei sprinted away from the clan's territory and plunged headlong into the dense forest.

Rage surged within him, while cold gnawed at his bones.

His legs kicked up afterimages as he ran at the greatest speed he could manage.

His heart pounded wildly in his chest, and his veins felt ready to burst.

This is the clan!

This is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!

This world, this era, really is born with hierarchy!

Talent is everything. Soul Masters are the rulers!

I have to live! I must live!

At least they didn't hand me over directly, hahaha...

As he fled, all the blood in his body rushed to his head, and countless thoughts exploded at once.

Then a sentence suddenly entered his mind.

"...although the clan cannot protect you, we will not simply hand you over."

No!

A chill ran through Yu Mingfei's heart as he instantly thought of one possibility.

Was a mutated trash martial soul important?

No.

Now that all blame had been pinned on Yu Mingfei, would the Yu Family risk war just to let him escape?

Impossible.

Yet Yu Yuanzhen had still done so. What did that mean?

There's a trap! For the sake of his dignity as clan leader, he won't hand me over directly.

But—

He can easily follow me while I escape, or knock me unconscious and wait for Dugu Bo to catch up!

At that moment, Yu Mingfei's thoughts raced, and he understood everything.

No, I can't keep running like this!

He made his decision in an instant. He stopped running, turned around, and ran back instead!

Behind the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect lay a vast forest. Layers of fallen leaves covered the ground, leaving no footprints at all.

Following the same route he had taken, Yu Mingfei ran for some distance and returned to a spot not far from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's territory.

He found a patch of bushes neither too large nor too small and, heedless of the leaves and thorns, burrowed straight into them.

Crouching beneath the bushes, he channeled Soul Power into both hands and began frantically digging.

For six years, Yu Mingfei's Soul Power had not advanced an inch, but he had never relaxed. If his Soul Power could not improve, then he would train his body and hone his combat skills!

Six years of effort gave him an extraordinary digging speed at this moment.

Yu Mingfei dug and burrowed at the same time. Before long, he had buried himself in the earth.

Finally, he used both hands to draw the parted bushes back together and gather the excavated soil.

Yu Mingfei tilted his head, with most of his face buried underground. Only his right eye and right ear remained above the surface.

The soft soil around his mouth and nose concealed the sound of his breathing well. Hidden beneath the shadow of the bushes, he watched the outside through gaps in the branches.

Before long, footsteps sounded from afar.

They came from the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Two figures rapidly approached.

"Your Excellency Dugu, that brat's aura went this way!"

Dugu Bo, his hair green, rushed past the bushes where Yu Mingfei hid under the guidance of an elder from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

I guessed right!

They really weren't that kind-hearted!

Beneath the bushes, Yu Mingfei suppressed his emotions and did not dare make a sound.

The two ran farther and farther away, but Yu Mingfei still did not move.

Not long after, having failed to find their target, they returned and began searching the area.

"Where is he? His aura suddenly vanished! Is your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect playing games with this Old Man?" Dugu Bo demanded impatiently.

"Please calm your anger, Senior! That brat couldn't have gone far. He must be hiding somewhere nearby!" the elder explained with a placating smile.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Bo suddenly lashed out. He grabbed the elder by the throat, his face twisted as he said, "Your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect! When you came to this Old Man and gave me the method of using a Soul Bone to contain poison, it was that brat Yu Tianheng! Once something happened to Yanyan, you claimed it was another junior, and now the person has disappeared again. Do you truly think this Old Man is easy to bully?

"If you can't give me an explanation, do you believe I'll poison every last one of the eighteen hundred members of your Yu Family?"

Green light surged around Dugu Bo as nine soul rings appeared at once!

The elder whose throat was gripped turned red in the face. He struggled with all his strength, yet still could not speak.

A voice rang out from afar.

"Wait!"

Yu Yuanzhen rushed over at high speed. After stopping Dugu Bo, he looked around, yet did not see Yu Mingfei.

"Dugu Bo, I know you are anxious, but killing someone will serve no purpose. My sect possesses a precious medicinal herb that can save your Granddaughter!"

Dugu Bo stared coldly at Yu Yuanzhen before slowly releasing his right hand.

"You had better be telling the truth."

The three gradually walked away until they disappeared from sight.

Yu Mingfei remained motionless in the soil.

Have they... left?
