Douluo: Rebuking the Grandmaster at the Start

"Go on, go right now. I'd like to see whether he dares expel Brother Yu." Ling Feng stared coldly at Grandmaster. "And you, don't fucking think that just because we call you Grandmaster, you're actually somebody."

"What the fuck are you? You dare threaten Brother Yu? Believe it or not, I'll find someone right now and make sure you don't live to see tomorrow's sun."

"You..."

Grandmaster glared at Ling Feng furiously, yet he did not dare retort.

He knew Lu Yu had a good relationship with this group of noble brats, but he had not expected it to be this good. They were actually willing to stand up and openly confront the academy for Lu Yu.

"What are you staring at? Point that finger again and see if I don't chop it off." Ling Feng was not the least bit afraid when dealing with Grandmaster.

Others might need to give him some face, but they did not.

What fucking Grandmaster.

He was nothing more than trash who could not break through Rank Thirty.

If he were really that amazing, he would not be holed up in this backwater.

Seeing Grandmaster, who was so furious he could barely catch his breath yet had no choice but to withdraw his finger, Lu Yu could not help laughing inwardly.

The mighty Grandmaster, born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of the Upper Three Sects, had actually been angered into speechlessness by a minor noble in tiny Nuoding City.

What a disgrace. He had disgraced his ancestors.

He had utterly thrown away the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's dignity.

Bibi Dong's Shock

"Fine. Very fine!"

Grandmaster gritted his teeth and forced out several words, then flicked his sleeve and left.

A tiger fallen to the plains was bullied by dogs.

He had truly experienced that today.

Just wait.

One day, all of you would pay for today's stupidity.

Lu Yu fell silent as he watched Grandmaster's retreating back.

He did not particularly care.

But Ling Feng and the others were different.

Regardless of his background, Grandmaster was still a member of the Golden Iron Triangle. If he truly wanted revenge, Ling Feng and the others might not be able to stop him.

This had started because of him. If not for him, how would Ling Feng and the others have offended Grandmaster? How could he simply stand by and do nothing?

However, he truly had no good solution for now.

He could only take things one step at a time.

"Brother Yu, why was that old bastard giving you trouble?" Ling Feng came over to Lu Yu with several young nobles and asked in confusion.

"It was nothing. I hit Tang San a little too hard when we sparred." Lu Yu smiled as he explained.

Ling Feng's mouth twitched.

A little too hard?

The man was furious to this extent, and you were sure it was only a little too hard?

Still, Ling Feng did not say anything else.

After all, they understood Lu Yu's personality to some extent.

Wasn't it just lying in bed for a while? Tang San knew all about that.

Lu Yu's gaze swept across Ling Feng and the others before he asked, "Do you want to learn my swordsmanship and movement technique?"

Repaying kindness was one of Lu Yu's few virtues. Teaching one person was teaching, and teaching a group was teaching too.

"W-We can?"

Ling Feng and the others immediately became excited.

"You can. Go find Xiao Chenyu and Lu Fei. Tell them I sent you." After saying that, Lu Yu looked toward Wang Sheng and the others. "The same goes for you."

"Brother Yu is awesome! Thank you, Brother Yu!"

Everyone immediately howled like wolf pups spotting milk.

Lu Yu merely smiled faintly.

"What, you want to learn too?" Seeing Xiao Wu approach with a guilty look on her face, Lu Yu shot her an annoyed glare.

It was not that he was unwilling to teach her. With her lazy, food-loving nature, how could she endure that hardship? Even if she learned, she would practice for three days and slack off for two.

Xiao Wu pouted. "I'm not learning."

Lu Yu smiled. "Then why aren't you keeping Tang San company? What are you lingering around me for?"

"I was worried you'd be upset. But judging from how things look, it should be fine now." Xiao Wu had originally felt somewhat guilty when Grandmaster came looking for trouble, but seeing that Lu Yu was fine, she relaxed.

She had a good relationship with Tang San, but that was limited to Tang San.

As for Grandmaster...

Why should she give a damn whether he lived or died?

"Alright, I'm fine. Go do whatever you want." Lu Yu had already given up on Tang San and Xiao Wu.

They could do whatever they wanted. They would deal with the future when it came.

There would be plenty of opportunities.

Xiao Wu asked tentatively, "Then I'm going?"

Lu Yu rolled his eyes. "Go on, go on."

He knew Xiao Wu's mind was entirely on Tang San right now. There was no point in forcing her to stay.

"Hehe..." Xiao Wu grinned. "Then I'm off."

With that, she turned and ran away.

Lu Yu did not linger either and headed straight back to the dormitory to continue cultivating.

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong rested her chin on her right hand as she sat lazily upon the throne. Even so, it could not conceal the noble aura she exuded.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Bibi Dong straightened up. Her lazy air vanished completely, and she instantly became a queen looking down upon all.

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

Almost at the same moment, an androgynous male voice came from outside the hall.

Bibi Dong said blandly, "Come in."

As her words fell, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan slowly entered from outside.

Bibi Dong asked, "What is it?"

Yue Guan gave a slight bow. "Your Holiness the Pope, the Notting City Branch Hall of the Heaven Dou Empire has submitted another piece of intelligence. I believe it will interest you."

"Oh?"

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow slightly.

Nuoding City again.

As the Pope of Spirit Hall, there was almost no intelligence on the continent that she could not obtain. Naturally, she knew Grandmaster was in Nuoding City.

And not long ago.

Nuoding City had sent intelligence regarding Tang San. Now there was another report. Who would this one be about?

Could it be him?

Yue Guan explained, "This is also intelligence concerning Soul Masters, but there are two of them. These two youngsters are quite interesting."

"Let's hear it." At the mention of Soul Masters again, Bibi Dong immediately became interested.

Tang San, with Innate Full Soul Power, had appeared not long ago. Now there were two more, and both came from Nuoding City. Where had so many talented individuals come from in such a small city?

Yue Guan said, "These two youngsters are named Lu Yu and Lu Fei. Their Martial Souls are the Eight-Faced Han Sword and the food-type Martial Soul Steamed Bun respectively. Both possess Innate Soul Power of Rank Five."

Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

Eight-Faced Han Sword? She had never heard of it. But with Innate Soul Power of only Rank Five, it presumably was not very impressive. As for a food-type Martial Soul, it was not bad, but with Innate Soul Power of only Rank Five, could they really be considered talented?

Yue Guan continued, "Although their talent appears ordinary, in just eight months, their Soul Power Levels have increased by a full eight ranks."

Bibi Dong looked directly at Yue Guan, a faint chill in her eyes.

If that were all, she would have to wonder whether Yue Guan was conspiring with those below to make a fool of her.

Eight ranks in eight months seemed exaggerated, but that was because their starting point had been low and early cultivation was relatively easy. It was quite good, but not enough to warrant her attention.

Seeing Bibi Dong grow angry, Yue Guan's heart tightened. He no longer dared to keep her in suspense and hurriedly said, "What truly deserves attention are these two youngsters' First Soul Rings. Their First Soul Rings..."

"Are both seven hundred years old!"

"What?"

Bibi Dong abruptly rose to her feet.

Seven hundred years?

To become the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was no fool. She instantly understood the value of this intelligence.

Those were seven-hundred-year First Soul Rings.

This exceeded the historical limit of a First Soul Ring by far too much.

If it had only been one person, it could have been called a coincidence.

But if both had done it, the implications were entirely different.

It meant the two most likely possessed a method for breaking through the Soul Ring limit.

If Spirit Hall could grasp this method, Spirit Hall's strength would surely increase greatly. Would unifying the continent still be a dream then?

This news was even more shocking than the Innate Full Soul Power child had been.

Innate Full Soul Power was good, but that person's Martial Soul was only Blue Silver Grass. Although he could be considered talented, he was not worth paying too much attention to.

But a method for breaking through the Soul Ring limit was different. Its value could not be measured by a single genius.

Bibi Dong asked, "Have those below tried to recruit them?"

If they intended to join Spirit Hall, everything would be easy. If not, some methods would have to be used.

Someone from Spirit City Arrives (1)

For people like this, if they could not be used by Spirit Hall, she would rather destroy them than allow them to join an opposing faction.

At that, Yue Guan's mouth twitched.

He said, "They did try to recruit them, but these two youngsters have rather strange attitudes."

"Strange?" Bibi Dong was somewhat puzzled.

Yue Guan explained, "According to the letter, the two youngsters do intend to join Spirit Hall, but they said they have personal matters to handle first. They will only consider joining Spirit Hall after those matters are resolved."

"Hahaha..."

Bibi Dong laughed, and she laughed happily.

What personal matters did they have to handle? They clearly believed the branch hall's status was too low and wanted to attract Spirit City's attention.

To put it bluntly, they were holding out for a better price.

They were young, but they had plenty of schemes.

Still, that was only right. Without a little cleverness, they could not have created something capable of overturning the Soul Master world's entire structure.
