Are You Threatening Young Master?

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Inside the Education Committee's office, Bai Baoshan, the third seat of the committee, suddenly sensed trouble. His right eyelid twitched wildly, as if something bad was about to happen.

Boom!

An air wave swept through the sky, and Bai Baoshan's expression changed drastically inside the office.

He flashed outside the teaching building and looked up.

There, he saw a young man arriving while carrying Meng Shenji in one hand.

"Bold!"

Eight Soul Rings appeared as Bai Baoshan stepped into the air.

His Martial Soul, the Heaven Star Furnace, emerged, Soul Power circulating through his chubby hands.

"Stop!"

With a wave of his hand, the Heaven Star Furnace smashed toward him.

Shen Tianyu sneered and threw Meng Shenji from his hand.

Bang!

Meng Shenji slammed into the Heaven Star Furnace, his body plummeting straight down.

"Damn it!"

Bai Baoshan gritted his teeth and stepped through the air to catch Meng Shenji.

After settling him down, he hoisted the Heaven Star Furnace over his shoulder and charged into the sky once more.

"You're courting death!"

He pressed two fingers together and used Burst Step to tread through the air.

Like a bolt of lightning, he arrived before Bai Baoshan in an instant.

"Break!"

His two fingers descended and struck the Heaven Star Furnace.

A tremendous force surged forth. Bai Baoshan felt both arms tremble, his bones seeming ready to explode.

Boom!

The Heaven Star Furnace exploded, and Bai Baoshan spat out blood.

"My Martial Soul!"

Pain covered Bai Baoshan's face. A shattered Martial Soul was an immense blow to any Soul Master.

Without a long period of recovery, his Martial Soul could not possibly be restored.

"Do you still dare resist?"

With that thunderous shout, Sound Waves surged into the heavens.

Bai Baoshan felt as though a force of a thousand jun had descended upon his fat body.

At that moment, vines shot through the air one after another.

The vines gathered from below, forming something like a long spear.

Shen Tianyu merely glanced at them before reaching out and grabbing a large bundle of vines.

With a slight exertion of one arm, he dragged the third committee seat, Zhi Lin, out from hiding.

Zhi Lin was also a Soul Douluo, and his Martial Soul was called Azure Vine.

After reporting to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, he had immediately rushed back to the academy.

He had only just arrived when he saw Shen Tianyu stepping through the air.

They had exchanged only a single move, yet Bai Baoshan's Martial Soul had already been shattered.

He had thought he could seize the chance to launch a sneak attack.

But he had clearly underestimated Shen Tianyu!

"You dare sneak attack Young Master!"

Gripping the Azure Vine, he pulled Zhi Lin directly before him.

He kicked Zhi Lin in the abdomen. The gaunt old man's face stiffened as blood poured endlessly from his mouth.

"Get down!"

Bang!

Spiritual energy burst forth, crushing Zhi Lin to the ground on the spot.

By then, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy students had also run out of their classrooms.

Shen Tianyu swept a cold gaze across them. Spiritual-energy pressure descended directly, forcing everyone to crawl on the ground.

"Your Excellency has quite the nerve. Causing trouble at Heaven Dou Royal Academy—are you trying to wage war against the imperial family?"

Outside the academy, a well-equipped royal army advanced in orderly formation.

The old man at its head wore magnificent garments and sat proudly upright atop a fine horse.

The newcomer was Prince Xue Xing, Xue Ye's biological younger brother and the current authority of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

When Zhi Lin had reached the palace to report, Xue Ye had dispatched Prince Xue Xing to personally lead troops and investigate the situation.

They had originally been heading to Shrek Academy, but Shen Tianyu had come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy instead, so Prince Xue Xing naturally brought his army here.

"What? You refuse to accept this?"

Shen Tianyu turned and asked. Prince Xue Xing's face darkened with anger.

"Hmph! Could it be that Your Excellency thinks Heaven Dou has no one?

Our imperial family also has Titled Douluo experts.

If you dare touch even a single thing at Heaven Dou Royal Academy today, I will invite that lord to act.

He will make you unable to live or die!"

Anyone capable of overpowering three Soul Douluos had to be a Titled Douluo expert.

Even so, Prince Xue Xing was not afraid.

He knew Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo whose poison was unrivaled beneath heaven!

"You mean Dugu Bo, right?"

"So Your Excellency knows of him as well."

Prince Xue Xing's expression eased slightly. Bringing up Dugu Bo had indeed been the right choice.

At the same time, he began making calculations in his heart.

If he could recruit another Titled Douluo expert, Xue Beng would have an extra safeguard in his future struggle for the throne.

"The Heaven Dou Imperial Family has always respected worthy talents. If Your Excellency is willing to become a friend of the imperial family, how about treating today's matter as a misunderstanding?"

"This trash imperial family is beneath Young Master's notice!"

Prince Xue Xing frowned, his expression turning icy as he lowered his head and shouted.

"So, Your Excellency insists on becoming an enemy of the imperial family?

Are you not afraid that the Poison Douluo will act and make your life miserable?"

"Xue Xing, stop using Dugu Bo to scare me. You don't know this yet, do you? That old poisoner was already killed by Young Master!"

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone froze.

Prince Xue Xing in particular. Dugu Bo had been his strongest supporter.

If he lost that man's support, his influence within the empire would likely suffer as well.

"You're lying! How could you have killed my grandfather!"

A purple-haired girl stepped out from among the students, her pupils emerald green.

With a single glance, Shen Tianyu knew who she was.

Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's granddaughter.

"My grandfather is the one and only Poison Douluo in the world. Even if your Combat Strength surpasses my grandfather's, it would still be impossible for you to kill him!"

"That's right!"

At Dugu Yan's words, Prince Xue Xing came to his senses as well.

At the Titled Douluo level, there were indeed stronger and weaker individuals.

But killing a Titled Douluo was far easier said than done.

Every Titled Douluo was a shrewd old monster who had cultivated for sixty or seventy years. Who among them lacked a few means of preserving their life?

"You don't believe it, huh? Fine!"

Shen Tianyu raised his hand, and the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch fell into his grasp.

"Dugu Yan, look carefully. What is this?"

Beneath flowing light, the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch floated in Shen Tianyu's hand.

Dugu Yan recognized it with just one glance.

"The Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch... Grandfather's item. Why is it in your hands? Could Grandfather... No, impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"What is impossible about it? I'll even tell you how I killed him. It was simple—I tore him apart with my bare hands!"

"No!!!"

Dugu Yan cried out in grief. "I'll avenge my grandfather!"

Her Martial Soul emerged, and Jade Phosphor Snake Poison spread outward.

"Hehe~"

With a Flick of a Finger, he released a strand of spiritual energy, and the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison instantly vanished without a trace.

Boom!

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground.

"Yan Yan! You!"

Yu Tianheng, her boyfriend, immediately tried to rise and attack.

"A bunch of little grasshoppers. Lie down obediently for Young Master!"

Boom!

Even greater spiritual energy erupted, crushing everyone present to the ground.

Prince Xue Xing's horse collapsed directly onto the ground, foam spilling from its mouth.

The well-equipped royal army behind him was knocked down by the spiritual-energy pressure, instantly losing all ability to resist.

"You dare attack this prince! What outrageous audacity!

There are still over two thousand Soul Masters within the imperial palace!

Even if they have to wear you down, they can still keep you in Heaven Dou City and kill you!"

"Are you threatening Young Master?"

Prince Xue Xing glared furiously and shouted through gritted teeth.

"That's right. You may take it as a threat! Let me also tell you that the imperial family has the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

If you do not wish to invite great trouble, leave at once! Otherwise, the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear!"

"Ignorant fool!"

With a backhand wave of spiritual energy, Prince Xue Xing's body was swept into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Before absolute strength, numbers mean nothing!

Xue Xing, Xue Xing, you dared threaten Young Master. Do you know that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will suffer a tremendous disaster because of you?

Young Master is truly going to pay a visit to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace today!"
