Do You Want to Be My Lackey?

Thud!

Another soft sound rang out.

Yu Tianheng slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.

The intense pain of his broken arms made him keenly aware that he was still alive.

"I-I'm not dead?"

Yu Tianheng looked around in disbelief.

Tang Xuan's Heaven Collapse Earth Crack had struck the desk beside him.

Yet strangely enough—

The desk, which any Spirit Master could casually smash apart, remained completely intact beneath Heaven Collapse Earth Crack.

It looked as good as new.

At the podium behind them,

Qin Ming silently withdrew his possessed Blazing Flame Wolf.

Ever since Tang Xuan had swung his first sword, he had concluded that Yu Tianheng could not possibly be Tang Xuan's match.

Worried that things might get out of hand, he had been ready to intervene at any moment.

Fortunately, Tang Xuan had shown restraint.

That saved him quite a bit of trouble.

"Tian Heng, are you alright?" Dugu Yan rushed over anxiously, looking him over from side to side, afraid that something might be wrong with Yu Tianheng. "Ling Ling, hurry."

The girl called Ling Ling wore a veil of light gauze over her face.

A beautiful Begonia Flower bloomed in her palm.

"Nine Heart Begonia, heal!"

Nourished by the Nine Heart Begonia,

Yu Tianheng's broken arms healed at a visible rate.

In just a few minutes, they had fully recovered.

Seeing this,

Tang Xuan could not help clicking his tongue in amazement.

Ye Lingling of the Nine Heart Begonia.

The greatest healer on Douluo Continent—when she was around, dying was easier said than done.

It was precisely because she was here

that Tang Xuan had broken Yu Tianheng's arms without any reservations.

"Y-your Heaven Collapse Earth Crack... was it just meant to scare me?" Yu Tianheng stared at the undamaged desk for a long time.

It could not even break a wooden desk.

This third strike was probably not even as powerful as the first.

"Scare you? Was there any need? Didn't you see it dissolve your second Soul Skill?" Tang Xuan withdrew his Martial Soul and glanced at him.

Yu Tianheng fell silent again.

Indeed, if Heaven Collapse Earth Crack had merely looked impressive,

how could it possibly have erased his strongest Soul Skill?

"Then why did you hold back?" Yu Tianheng muttered, with a trace of anger hidden in his voice.

As proud as he was,

he could accept defeat.

But he could never accept a Spirit Master with ten levels less Soul Power than him holding back against him.

"I wanted to defeat you, not kill you." Tang Xuan extended a finger and gently tapped the seemingly intact desk.

In an instant,

wood chips... no, they should not have been called wood chips.

They were powder as fine and delicate as milk powder.

"Gasp—" Everyone in the classroom sharply sucked in a breath.

They made a strong yet insignificant contribution to Douluo Planet's greenhouse effect.

"Is this really strength a one-ring Spirit Master should possess?" someone asked blankly.

"I don't know. I feel like all these years of cultivation have gone to the dogs."

"Heaven Collapse Earth Crack. What a Heaven Collapse Earth Crack. It truly lived up to its name." Yu Tianheng sighed, then laughed bitterly. "I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

If that Heaven Collapse Earth Crack had landed squarely on him,

it probably would not even have left a whole corpse.

He had used every trick he had, yet he could not harm Tang Xuan in the slightest.

Even if he refused to accept it, there was nothing he could do.

"Your strength is impressive too. You took one of my strikes head-on and only had your dragon claws broken. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon truly lived up to its reputation." Tang Xuan offered a few polite words.

The Level 18 Mysterious Iron Heavy Sword

already weighed over four hundred jin.

Add in the force of his swing and gravitational acceleration,

and its impact easily reached eight or nine hundred jin.

Yet even that had failed to shatter Yu Tianheng's hand bones.

That was enough to show just how extraordinary the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was.

If Yu Tianheng broke through Level 30 and gained Dragon Transformation,

then it would be hard to say who would win in a battle like today's.

"Heh, haha, I'll take that as a compliment." Yu Tianheng gave a dry laugh.

A Soul Grandmaster had been injured while fighting a Spirit Master.

And all he got was an evaluation of "not bad."

If anyone else had said that, he would have made them pay.

But the one saying it was Tang Xuan.

So it was fine...

"Yu Tianheng, seriously, do you want to be my lackey?" Tang Xuan suddenly asked.

He had not forgotten why he had joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

But Tang Xuan felt that

making someone submit willingly was far more satisfying than crushing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon beneath his feet.

"Y-you said what?" Yu Tianheng seemed unable to believe his ears.

"I said, be my lackey." Thinking he had not heard clearly, Tang Xuan repeated himself with utmost seriousness.

"Snicker xN"

No one knew who started it in the crowd.

Stifled laughter rose one after another.

Even Qin Ming was desperately holding it in.

He was preserving Yu Tianheng's last shred of dignity.

Yu Tianheng felt a surge of blood rise from his chest.

His face turned red from his head to the tips of his toes.

If he really agreed, he would lose all his face.

"Impossible. Even if I died, even if I jumped out that window, I would never become your lackey. Give up on that idea." Yu Tianheng refused without hesitation.

Who was he, Yu Tianheng?

The young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

The boss of Heavenly Class One—formerly.

Become the lackey of a seven-year-old child?

Did that make any sense?

If word got out,

especially if it reached Yu Tianxin's ears, would he not be laughed to death?

"Believe me, you'll definitely regret this." Tang Xuan said meaningfully.

The law of "it smells so good" had already appeared.

Getting slapped in the face was only a matter of time.

They would be seeing each other every day for the next few years anyway.

There was plenty of time~

"Alright, you've all seen Tang Xuan's strength. He and Rong Rong have been exceptionally admitted into Heavenly Class One. Does anyone still object?" Qin Ming looked around at everyone.

Silence.

Not a single person spoke.

Tang Xuan had beaten Yu Tianheng, the strongest in the class, like a dog.

He had turned a perfectly good desk into milk powder.

He had even wanted to take Yu Tianheng as his lackey.

If someone like that could not remain in Heavenly Class One,

then they might as well go home and harvest corn.

Seeing that no one objected,

a satisfied smile flashed across Qin Ming's face. "In that case, I announce that Tang Xuan and Ning Rongrong are..."

"Wait! I object!"

At that moment, a somewhat indignant voice rang out.

Tang Xuan and the others turned toward the sound.

They saw Dugu Yan staring coldly at Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan was taken aback by that look.

What? What was this about?

What did that look mean?

What did I do to you?

"Yan Zi, do you have any other concerns?" Qin Ming was utterly confused.

Had they not agreed that defeating either Yu Tianheng or Dugu Yan would qualify someone to stay?

What was this supposed to be now?

"Tang Xuan defeated Tian Heng, but he hasn't passed my test yet." Dugu Yan crossed her arms and said proudly, "As long as he can neutralize my poison, I'll acknowledge that he is qualified to join Heavenly Class One."

As soon as she said this,

everyone present frowned.

"Yan Zi, don't mess around!" Qin Ming rebuked her sternly.

As Dugu Yan's mentor,

Qin Ming knew very well how terrifying the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison was.

It was absolutely the nightmare of low-level Spirit Masters without attributes.

"That's right, Yan Zi. Tang Xuan already defeated me. There's absolutely no problem with his exceptional admission into the class." Yu Tianheng hurriedly tried to persuade her as well.

But Dugu Yan remained unmoved.

The reason she had stepped forward to object now

was precisely because Tang Xuan had hurt Yu Tianheng.

In Dugu Yan's heart,

Yu Tianheng was her absolute Reverse Scale.

If Tang Xuan had not pulled back afterward,

she would definitely have made Tang Xuan beg for life and death!

After thinking briefly, Tang Xuan understood as well.

There seemed to have been a scene in the Original Work where Dugu Yan erupted after Yu Tianheng was injured.

This girl really did have deep feelings for Yu Tianheng.

He just had not expected Dugu Yan to develop feelings for Yu Tianheng so early.

"Since you insist on asking for a beating, then of course I'll oblige you." Tang Xuan released his Martial Soul again, its rounded sword tip pointing straight at Dugu Yan.
