Douluo: Starting Out by Furiously Confronting the Grandmaster

Lu Yu snapped, "What could possibly happen? At most, he'll be bedridden for a while. It's nothing serious."

Only then did Lu Fei breathe a sigh of relief.

But he could not help cursing, "That bastard Tang San is unbelievable. He actually stole our swordsmanship."

Lu Yu said, "I already knew. It doesn't matter."

"Huh?" Lu Fei stared at him blankly.

Lu Yu explained, "If he can learn it, that's his ability. It's no big deal. Besides, he's still no match for me."

Lu Fei suddenly understood. "That's true."

Lu Yu looked at Xiao Chenyu. "For the next while, follow Lu Fei and learn properly. How much you can comprehend will depend on yourself."

"Thank... thank you, Brother Yu." Xiao Chenyu immediately became excited.

Lu Yu merely nodded.

Teaching Xiao Chenyu was no big deal. He had never taken it to heart. His focus going forward still had to be on raising his Soul Power Level.

His talent was inferior to Tang San's, and the system's potential enhancement was not as exaggerated as he had imagined. If he did not work hard, today's situation would sooner or later be completely reversed.

So, the moment he returned to the dormitory, Lu Yu began cultivating.

Meanwhile, Lu Fei took Xiao Chenyu off somewhere to study swordsmanship.

"What happened?" The Grandmaster, who had rushed to the infirmary after receiving the news, immediately flew into a rage when he saw Tang San lying half-dead on the bed.

Tang San had been injured this badly right under his nose. If Tang Hao found out, would he not skin him alive?

"Well... he... he was sparring with a classmate, and they failed to hold back, so he ended up like this." Xiao Wu did not want to make things worse, so she could not help stammering.

"Outrageous!" the Grandmaster cursed. "Is this sparring? This is clearly attempted murder! Tell me, who did this? Was it Lu Yu?"

Other than Lu Yu, he truly could not think of anyone else.

First, in all of Notting Academy, no student besides Lu Yu was Tang San's match. Second, Lu Yu already had several prior offenses.

Tang San had been seriously injured several times before. The Grandmaster had even personally warned Lu Yu, but the other party had clearly not taken his warning seriously.

"Huh?"

Xiao Wu stared at the Grandmaster in confusion.

She did not understand.

She had not even said anything. How had he guessed it in one go?

"So it was that wretch again." Xiao Wu's eyes had already told him everything, and the Grandmaster's expression immediately darkened to the extreme.

He was angry because Tang San had been seriously injured.

But even more so because Lu Yu had never taken him seriously.

Who was he?

He was the Grandmaster. Across the entire Soul Master world, who would not respectfully address him as Grandmaster upon seeing him? Yet now, a little brat had repeatedly humiliated him.

If he did not teach him a lesson, that brat truly would not know his place.

With that thought, the Grandmaster turned to leave.

Xiao Wu hurriedly stopped him. "Grandmaster... where are you going?"

Although Lu Yu had been a little ruthless, it had ultimately just been a private spar between the two of them. If the Grandmaster interfered, this matter would become difficult to resolve.

The Grandmaster said coldly, "At such a young age, yet he is already so vicious. If he is not taught a lesson, he will only bring disgrace upon the academy after graduation."

With that, the Grandmaster flicked his sleeve and strode straight out of the infirmary.

Xiao Wu furrowed her brows and hurried after him.

She knew things had become troublesome.

But there was nothing she could do. She could not stop the Grandmaster, so she could only follow and try her best to hold Lu Yu back.

She knew Lu Yu's strength.

Although the Grandmaster was a Soul Grandmaster, if he truly fought Lu Yu, he would only end up getting beaten. And once Lu Yu beat up the Grandmaster, the nature of the matter would change.

Fights and scuffles between classmates were normal.

But if a student dared to attack a teacher, the consequences would be far more serious. Lu Yu might even be expelled.

Very soon, the two arrived at Dorm Seven. From afar, the Grandmaster shouted angrily, "Lu Yu, get the hell out here!"

Inside Dorm Seven.

Lu Yu opened his eyes, his brows tightly furrowed.

Being so violently interrupted during cultivation, one could imagine his mood.

Grandmaster, Grandmaster, you really are courting death.

He did not dare do anything to Tang San, but he had never taken the Grandmaster seriously.

"Brother Yu..."

The others had also awakened and cast worried looks his way.

Lu Yu calmly said, "It's not a big problem. I want to see what exactly he wants."

With that, Lu Yu stood and walked out of Dorm Seven.

The moment he emerged, he saw the furious Grandmaster, as well as Xiao Wu at the side constantly signaling him with her eyes. Lu Yu directly ignored the latter.

Staring at the Grandmaster, Lu Yu said coldly, "You call yourself a teacher? Don't you know that forcibly interrupting someone's cultivation can cost lives? There are more than ten people in this dormitory. If even one of them had gone wrong today, you would not be able to atone for your crime even with a hundred deaths."

You're Quite Proud of Yourself

After being rebuked by Lu Yu, most of the Grandmaster's anger instantly dissipated, replaced by panic. But he recovered in an instant.

A bunch of paupers.

Even if something had really happened, what could they possibly do to him?

Besides, nothing had gone wrong, had it?

He had actually been bluffed by a single sentence from this little brat. That made the anger that had mostly dissipated in the Grandmaster's heart flare up even more fiercely.

He immediately berated him, "Tell me, why are you so vicious? Tang San is your classmate, yet why did you strike him so heavily?"

"Do you still have any respect for the law? Any respect for the academy? You are already this vicious at such a young age. If you graduate, who knows what you might become?"

Lu Yu dug at his ear, then looked at the Grandmaster and asked indifferently, "Are you done?"

"You..."

Seeing his attitude, the Grandmaster became even more enraged.

Lu Yu asked, "Before coming here to spew nonsense at me, did you even ask what happened?"

The Grandmaster froze, then said, "That is not important. All I know is that Tang San is lying half-dead in bed right now, while you are perfectly fine."

"Hahaha..." Lu Yu laughed loudly. "As a teacher, you did not ask about the process or the reason before running over to question me, and you are still so self-righteous. Where is your shame?"

"I'm vicious? I struck too heavily?"

"Then why don't you ask your precious disciple why, at such a young age, he keeps trying to kill his classmates? Who exactly is vicious here?"

"Knowing he was outmatched, he still rushed over to get himself killed. Is this the disciple you taught? And you still have the nerve to ask me why? Why the hell didn't you properly teach your disciple how to conduct himself?"

"You..."

"What about me?" Lu Yu cut him off. "I haven't even mentioned you yet. Damn it, instead of teaching him anything good, you taught him to be a thief like you. You seem pretty proud of yourself, huh?"

"Huh?"

The Grandmaster was instantly dumbfounded. When the hell had he taught Tang San to be a thief?

Lu Yu continued cursing, "Now, immediately, this instant—get as far away from me as possible. Otherwise, I don't mind sending you to the infirmary to keep your disciple company."

"Don't think I won't beat you up just because you're some bullshit 'Grandmaster.' I have no obligation to indulge your bad habits. If you don't believe me, feel free to try."

As he spoke, Lu Yu directly summoned his Martial Soul and locked onto the Grandmaster.

In that instant, the Grandmaster felt as though some terrifying beast had fixed its gaze on him. Every hair on his body stood on end, and cold sweat poured down his back.

How... was this possible?

The Grandmaster stared at Lu Yu in utter disbelief.

He was merely a lowly Soul Master. How could a simple aura lock be this terrifying?

That was...

Then, the Grandmaster saw Lu Yu's deep yellow Soul Ring.

How was that possible?

When it came to theoretical knowledge, the Grandmaster believed no one on the entire continent could compare to him. How could he fail to see the unusual nature of Lu Yu's Soul Ring?

But precisely because of that, Lu Yu's Soul Ring deeply shocked him.

"Your Soul Ring... how many years is it?" By now, the Grandmaster had completely forgotten why he had come here.

He saw hope—the hope of rising to prominence.

He could conclude that Lu Yu's Soul Ring age had absolutely exceeded the limit of ordinary Soul Rings.

If he could uncover the secrets within it...

Then...

He would surely be able to truly establish his title as Grandmaster and earn the respect of every Soul Master in the entire Soul Master world.

"None of your damn business. Get lost already." Lu Yu showed him no courtesy at all.

The Grandmaster frowned. "I'll ask you one more time. How many years is your Soul Ring? If you tell me, I can let Tang San's matter go."

"What? Hahaha..."

Lu Yu laughed. "Let it go? Who the hell do you think you are? You're going to let it go? Go ahead and try holding something against me, then."

The Grandmaster's face darkened as he stared coldly at Lu Yu and threatened, "I may not be your match, but with my relationship with the headmaster, having you expelled would not be difficult."

He was not stupid. From the aura Lu Yu emitted, he already understood that he was definitely no match for Lu Yu. Therefore, he could only force Lu Yu through other means.

The academy was his greatest leverage against Lu Yu.

This was not empty boasting.

With his relationship with the headmaster of Notting Academy, expelling a student was merely a matter of a single sentence.

"Tsk, tsk..." Lu Yu mocked, "Grandmaster, Grandmaster, your shamelessness has truly overturned my understanding."

"Don't you claim to be the foremost authority on theory? Then use your own knowledge to research it. You can't even see through such a small issue, and you call yourself a Grandmaster?"

"As for expelling me?"

"You can try."

"Whether I attend this academy or not does not really matter much to me. But I'll put my words here today: if I get expelled, you die."

The moment the word "die" fell, Lu Yu's eyes narrowed, and the killing intent around him surged. It frightened the Grandmaster into staggering back several steps.

The Grandmaster looked at Lu Yu with utter terror.

At that moment, he did not doubt whether Lu Yu would dare kill him, because the killing intent radiating from Lu Yu was absolutely not an act.

"Expel Brother Yu? Go ahead and expel him. Let me see you try."

Ling Feng walked over.

Ling Feng and the others had arrived as early as when the Grandmaster confronted Lu Yu, but they had not stepped forward. Now, however, they had no choice but to do so.

Someone actually dared threaten Brother Yu.

What a joke.

There were places beyond their control, but in Nuoding City, only they threatened others. Since when had it become someone else's turn to threaten them?

Boss Xiao was not here, but Ling Feng was no pushover either.
