Leaving the Sect, Academy Life, Starting as a Discarded Pawn

"Wait here, I'm going to go discuss this with your father."

Yu Ya left Yu Tianyu behind just like that, leaving him with no choice but to continue drinking his medicine and recovering from his injuries.

"What!!! Twin Martial Souls!!!" When Yu Yuanzhen learned that Yu Tianyu possessed Twin Martial Souls, he was so excited he nearly tore the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan apart, though he managed to restrain himself.

"Yes, I'm wondering, Xiaoyu, whether he should really be kept within the clan to study."

"Absolutely not."

Yu Yuanzhen replied to Yu Ya without a second thought.

"Why? Can't Xiaoyu also learn those Dragon Transformation techniques?"

"That is true, but while learning them, Xiaoyu will inevitably expose the fact that he has Twin Martial Souls. Xiaoyu hasn't grown up yet; if Martial Soul Hall or the people from other clans find out, do you think Xiaoyu could withstand the secret targeting from so many factions?"

Yu Ya's face turned pale; she had clearly envisioned the scene of her own child being hunted down.

"Then what should we do?"

"Aren't there good Junior Academies in Heaven Dou City? Can't we just send Xiaoyu there? As for the Dragon Transformation techniques, we can just teach them to him in secret. I believe you haven't forgotten the Dragon Transformation techniques we learned in our youth, have you?"

"Hmph! Back in our youth, you were the one I beat into the ground!"

Yu Ya thought about it and realized Yu Yuanzhen's solution was indeed the best one. Sending Yu Tianyu away might lead to gossip from outsiders, but with Yu Yuanzhen's authority within the clan, there wouldn't be any issues there.

"But if we send him away, will Xiaoyu be bullied?"

Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Yu Ya, and she understood the meaning in his eyes.

"That brat getting bullied? I'd thank the heavens if he didn't bully others instead."

"That's true." Yu Ya also knew Yu Tianyu's combat prowess; no one his age could beat him. Even at six years old, before he had awakened his martial soul, he had already hung Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin up to beat them.

"That's settled. Once that brat's injuries are healed, we'll send him away. He can come back during breaks to practice the clan's Dragon Transformation techniques, but he must not add any Spirit Rings to his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul. Once his physical constitution is strong enough, he will go straight for ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings or even hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings."

What Yu Yuanzhen was describing was exactly what Bibi Dong had done.

"Is that really going to work?"

"That female Pope succeeded, so there's no reason our child can't. Don't worry."

Seven days later, Yu Tianyu's injuries had basically healed.

Yu Yuanzhen stood in the courtyard, watching Yu Tianyu limbering up, and said in a deep voice, "Tianyu, pack your things. Tomorrow, I'm sending you to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Yu Tianyu paused his movements and turned around: "Father, are you really sending me to an outside academy?"

"Yes." Yu Yuanzhen nodded. "Your situation is special; it's easy to expose it within the clan. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is supported by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and several major clans. The faculty is good, and you'll be able to come into contact with geniuses from all sides. Remember, while you are there, you can only use your Dragon Slayer Magic martial soul. Your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul must never be exposed."

"Understood." Yu Tianyu's eyes were firm. "I will be careful."

Yu Ya walked out of the house and handed a storage Soul Tool to Yu Tianyu: "Inside are some changes of clothes, some Gold Soul Coins, and healing medicine. Take care of yourself out there. You can come home once a month."

"Thank you, Mother." Yu Tianyu took the Soul Tool, a warmth welling up in his heart.

The next morning, a magnificent carriage stopped in front of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Yu Tianyu had changed into ordinary noble attire: a dark blue coat with a white lining and a simple leather belt at his waist, making him look like an ordinary young noble master.

Yu Yuanzhen personally saw him to the gate: "Remember, keep a low profile while you're out, but don't lose face for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If anyone bullies you, fight back if you can win; if you can't, use my name."

"Father, are you teaching me to use power to oppress others?" Yu Tianyu couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmph, my son, Yu Yuanzhen's son, how could anyone be allowed to bully you?" Yu Yuanzhen patted Yu Tianyu on the shoulder. "Go on, cultivate well. Come back every month, and I will personally teach you Dragon Transformation techniques."

The carriage slowly pulled away from the Thunder Mountain Range, heading toward Heaven Dou City. Yu Tianyu leaned against the carriage window, watching the clan gradually fade into the distance, feeling both anticipation and a touch of reluctance.

Three days later, the carriage arrived in Heaven Dou City.

The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was located in the eastern district of Heaven Dou City, covering a vast area with magnificent architecture. A large number of students and parents had already gathered in front of the academy gates to register, making the scene incredibly lively.

Yu Tianyu stepped down from the carriage, immediately attracting many gazes. Although he was dressed simply, his refined features and unique temperament still made him stand out in the crowd.

"Name?" the teacher at the registration desk asked without looking up.

"Yu Tianyu."

"Age?"

"Six years old."

"Martial Soul?"

"Dragon Slayer Magic." Yu Tianyu replied calmly.

The teacher's pen paused, and he looked up at Yu Tianyu: "Dragon Slayer Magic? That's a rare martial soul. So you're that discarded child. What is your Soul Power Level?"

"Level ten."

"Innate Full Soul Power?" The teacher looked at Yu Tianyu again in surprise. "Not bad, not bad. Here are your dormitory key and uniform. Go settle into the dormitory area. Tomorrow morning at eight, gather in front of the teaching building for the placement test."

Yu Tianyu took the key and the uniform and followed the signs toward the dormitory area.

The academy dormitories were double rooms. Yu Tianyu's roommate hadn't arrived yet, so he chose the bed by the window, tidied up his luggage, and changed into his uniform—a white top with dark blue trousers, with the academy's emblem embroidered on the left chest.

Just as Yu Tianyu finished tidying up, the dormitory door was pushed open, and a very honest-looking, chubby boy walked in.

"My god, why, why do they have to set the floors so high? Isn't this making things difficult for me, Pang Hu?"

"Hello." Yu Tianyu showed his canine teeth and greeted Pang Hu.

"Oh, hello, hello! What a handsome guy. You must be that Yu Tianyu, the abandoned Young Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect who has been making such a huge stir in Heaven Dou City lately, right? I'm Pang Hu."

When Yu Tianyu heard the rumors about himself, the corner of his mouth twitched. So, he had already become an abandoned son? But then again, what kind of father would just toss his child out to go to school?

"There are no classes today. Do you want to walk around the academy? I didn't expect this public academy to be so big."

Yu Tianyu extended an invitation to Pang Hu, who looked at Yu Tianyu's dashing figure and then back at himself.

"Wait for me to change into something flashier first!"

Yu Tianyu: ...
