Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Reaction

"Hahaha!"

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes and let out a hearty laugh.

Gone was the usual decorum of a Titled Douluo; his expression was filled with pure, unadulterated ecstasy.

The snake venom that had plagued him for hundreds of years had finally been resolved.

His cultivation bottleneck, which had remained stagnant for so long, had also been broken through.

At this moment, Dugu Bo felt an incomparable sense of relief throughout his entire body.

The pent-up frustration that had accumulated over the years dissipated into nothingness.

Refreshing!

That was the only thought in Dugu Bo's mind right now.

"Young Master Yu, many thanks!"

As his excitement faded and he gradually calmed down, Dugu Bo cupped his hands toward Yu Shuangbai, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.

If not for Yu Shuangbai stepping in to resolve the snake venom in both him and Dugu Yan.

Let alone the improvement in his cultivation.

He would likely still be suffering from the torture of that venom every single day, wishing for death.

This could truly be considered a debt of rebirth!

Therefore, Dugu Bo was filled with gratitude toward Yu Shuangbai.

"It was merely a transaction, not worth mentioning."

Yu Shuangbai did not act arrogant or prideful, waving his hand dismissively.

They had simply taken what they needed; there was no talk of favors.

His own gains from this trip were, if anything, even greater than Dugu Bo's.

The foundation for godhood, and two half-step God King-level mentors by his side.

It could definitely be described as a bountiful harvest.

"No, no, no."

Dugu Bo shook his head.

"A transaction is a transaction, but the fact that you saved the lives of this old man and Yan-yan is an undeniable truth."

"This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was of limited use to me anyway; it cannot simply wipe the slate clean."

"I have recorded this debt of gratitude today. If Young Master Yu ever needs my help in the future, just speak up, and I will never refuse!"

Although Dugu Bo was ruthless and cruel, he was also a straightforward man.

He did not let Yu Shuangbai's comment about it being "merely a transaction" erase the debt of saving their lives.

Instead, he kept it in his heart, swearing to repay it in the future.

"Grandfather is right; a life-saving grace is impossible to repay."

Dugu Yan spoke up at this moment as well.

She placed her small hands over her chest, a strange, brilliant light flashing in her eyes as she looked at Yu Shuangbai.

Hearing this, Yu Shuangbai said no more.

By pure coincidence, he had gained yet another layer of protection.

Although, with the Snow Emperor and the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings as his primary safeguards, Dugu Bo's protection seemed somewhat redundant.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Inside the clan ancestral hall.

An old man with a resolute face and golden light in his eyes sat upright in the main seat.

Below him were Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng, the latter still pale and not yet fully recovered.

"Tianheng, are you saying that you were beaten into this state by a boy of only twelve or thirteen?"

The old man spoke slowly, his voice tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction.

The Twin Stars of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been beaten into such a state by a boy several years younger than them, in full view of everyone.

Where did that leave the face of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

Yu Tianheng pressed his lips together tightly; although he was unwilling to admit it, he had no choice but to nod.

"Grandfather, that brat is very strange."

"I, I..."

Yu Tianheng hesitated, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

Seeing this, the old man on the high seat furrowed his brows even deeper.

He had always been a man of forward momentum.

What he loathed most was this hesitant, affected display of weakness.

His voice dropped low:

"Speak."

A single, simple word, yet it made Yu Tianheng shudder from head to toe.

Only then did he stammer out the rest of his words.

"My... my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, in the face of his martial soul..."

"It was... trembling, in fear..."

Having finished this sentence, Yu Tianheng felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

Recalling the battle, the fear that had emanated from the very marrow of his martial soul, he still refused to accept it.

His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the source of his pride, had been as weak as a subordinate before that unknown martial soul of Yu Shuangbai!

For a man as proud and arrogant as Yu Tianheng, who had always taken pride in his martial soul, this was something he could not accept!

Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's words, the old man's first reaction was disbelief.

He felt that Yu Tianheng was merely making excuses for his own failure.

In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it was not just Yu Tianheng; almost all direct descendants who possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul held similar arrogant beliefs.

They believed that their own Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul should be the strongest assault-type martial soul in the world.

They never looked at other martial souls, always assuming they were inferior to their own.

Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was no different.

He, too, did not believe that his family's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could tremble before an unheard-of martial soul.

Thus, Yu Yuanzhen turned his gaze toward Yu Tianxin, who stood to the side.

"Tianxin, you were also present at the time."

"Tell me, what did you feel?"

Yu Tianxin gritted his teeth, but still nodded.

"Grandfather, what Brother Tianheng said is likely true."

"Although I did not face him directly and my experience was not as profound as Brother Tianheng's..."

"I could indeed feel my martial soul trembling and cowering."

Hearing Yu Tianxin's words, Yu Yuanzhen's expression gradually turned grave and somber.

If Yu Tianheng's words could be dismissed as excuses for his failure, what about Yu Tianxin?

He had not even fought the person; there was no failure to speak of.

There was absolutely no need for him to make any excuses.

Furthermore, Yu Tianxin was well aware of the consequences of lying in his presence.

Therefore, Yu Yuanzhen was eighty percent certain that Yu Tianxin was not lying.

In other words, what Yu Tianheng said was highly likely to be the truth.

Their family's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had become a subordinate before a martial soul of unknown origin!

Thinking of this, as the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen's face turned as dark as water.

The other high-ranking members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sitting nearby wore identical expressions, all of them looking incredibly grim.

How could the proud Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon be a subordinate to any other martial soul?!

"Tianheng, tell me everything you know about that boy."

Yu Yuanzhen's voice was heavy, like a suppressed volcano.

Yu Tianheng hurriedly recounted everything he knew, detail by detail.

"That man is named Yu Shuangbai, and he was brought by Skywater Academy..."

He narrated everything that had happened that day at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

However...

"Yu Shuangbai?!"

An abrupt voice filled with surprise rang out in the ancestral hall.

"Elder Yu Song, do you know this Yu Shuangbai?"

Noticing the commotion, Yu Yuanzhen turned his gaze toward him and asked.

The elder named Yu Song wore a hesitant expression as he replied:

"Sect Master, this old man is not entirely certain if this Yu Shuangbai is the same Yu Shuangbai I once knew."

"Our sect did indeed have a disciple by the name of Yu Shuangbai."

"His parents were both third-generation disciples who perished in that conflict over a decade ago."

"Later on, no one knew when or how, but this Yu Shuangbai simply vanished without a trace."

"However, his Martial Soul was merely an Ice Lizard, which does not match the Ice Dragon Martial Soul that Young Master Tianheng described, and his talent was nowhere near the Yu Shuangbai that Young Master Tianheng spoke of..."

"Perhaps it is just a coincidence that they share the same name."
