Douluo: Defying the Grandmaster from the Start

Tang San's face immediately darkened.

If one had to ask what the Grandmaster had given him, it seemed there really wasn't much.

Theoretical knowledge.

Although what the academy taught was not as detailed as his, what use was that? He could just find some books, or attend an advanced Soul Master Academy later. Anyone could learn it.

As for Soul Rings...

From his First Soul Ring onward, he had relied on himself.

In fact, if it had not been for him, the grass on the Grandmaster's grave would probably be taller than him by now.

There was even less to say about his Second Soul Ring.

He had wanted to try breaking through his limit, but the Grandmaster and the dean had frantically stopped him, telling him not to imitate Lu Yu or someone would die.

Who knew whether they were truly doing it for his own good, or whether they were afraid they could not handle a Soul Beast of a higher age.

In short.

Other than a set of bedding and some everyday care, the Grandmaster really had not given him anything.

Oh, right.

There was also a Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges. That was probably the most precious thing the Grandmaster had given him.

PS: Thank you to [Brother Tian] for the monthly ticket, and thank you to Q Reading's [Baitian Bu Xielao] for the reward. Your support is my greatest motivation. Thank you!!!

Is Being Fat a Crime?

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

"Your Holiness, information has come in from Nuoding City regarding those two little ones."

Yue Guan stood respectfully below, a trace of delight between his brows.

"Oh? Is that so? Let me hear it."

Bibi Dong immediately became interested. News had arrived at this time.

Could it be that they had already broken through to Soul Grandmasters?

Their Innate Soul Power had only been Rank Five. Their cultivation speed was completely disproportionate to their talent.

Yue Guan said, "The two little ones have now broken through to the Soul Grandmaster realm, and their Soul Power Levels are Rank Twenty-Three and Rank Twenty-Four respectively."

Bibi Dong smiled. "Then their Second Soul Rings must both be at the thousand-year level, correct?"

Yue Guan said, "Yes. Lu Fei's Second Soul Ring is one thousand seven hundred years old, while Lu Yu is even more outrageous. He directly obtained a two-thousand-year Second Soul Ring."

"Hahaha..." Bibi Dong laughed. "Outrageous is good. The more outrageous, the better. Spirit Hall never lacks freaks."

"It is good, but..." Yue Guan's expression grew somewhat troubled.

Bibi Dong asked, "You are worried about their wish to take me as their master, aren't you?"

Yue Guan nodded.

Although he also wished for Lu Yu and Lu Fei to be as exceptional as possible, he had acted on his own initiative in this matter. He still needed to see the Pope's attitude.

Although Bibi Dong had not blamed him before, that was because none of them had believed Lu Yu could accomplish it. Things were different now.

The gap was still enormous, but it was no longer completely impossible.

"It does not matter!" Bibi Dong waved her hand. "If he can truly reach Rank Thirty before the age of twelve, so what if I accept him as my disciple?"

Taking on one more disciple was no big deal.

As long as he displayed enough talent, who would not want more geniuses under their wing?

Hearing this, Yue Guan was relieved. "Also, the two little ones have already applied for early graduation from their academy. Next, they will be heading to Heaven Dou City."

Bibi Dong said indifferently, "Then send word to Salas and have him keep an eye on them. Heaven Dou City is not some small place like Nuoding City. Do not let anyone plot against them."

"Yes!"

The reason Yue Guan had brought it up was precisely because he had that in mind.

The two little ones were still young, after all.

Heaven Dou City.

"Brother Yu, so this is Heaven Dou City! It is so big and lively. As expected of the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. Nuoding City cannot compare at all."

Ever since entering the city, Lu Fei had fully displayed the manner of a country bumpkin entering the city. Everything seemed new to him. He looked here, then there.

Lu Yu said helplessly, "Xiao Fei, can you pay a little attention to our image? Can't you see everyone is looking at us strangely?"

Meeting the strange looks from the surrounding people, Lu Yu felt his face burn. He only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible and get farther away from Lu Fei.

It was not a major matter, but there was a soul from Earth living inside him after all. He still cared about dignity.

Lu Fei, however, said unconcernedly, "Let them look. Looking at us will not cost us a piece of flesh. They can look all they want."

Lu Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry.

You really are shameless.

Lu Fei then asked, "Brother Yu, where are we going next? Should we find somewhere to eat first, or what?"

At the thought that such a large city must have plenty of delicious food, Lu Fei began drooling.

In this world, only family and good food must never be let down.

Lu Yu said irritably, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. Have you even looked at how fat you are? Keep eating, and sooner or later you will eat yourself to death."

After hearing Lu Yu's words, Lu Fei did not care at all. He lightly asked, "Is being fat a crime?"

He then added, "Besides, I do not think I am that fat. I have not even reached two hundred jin yet. It is not a big problem."

"Fuck..."

Lu Yu was rendered speechless.

You are still so young, yet you are already aiming for two hundred jin.

Lu Fei was currently eight and a half, not yet nine years old. He was only one meter thirty tall, but his weight had already nearly reached one hundred and fifty jin.

To put it plainly, he was no different from a ball.

And that was not fat?

Was this what it meant to be fat without realizing it?

Forget it, forget it. He could do whatever he wanted.

Lu Yu shook his head helplessly. "Let us put food aside for now. We should go to Spirit Hall first and settle our accommodations."

They would be staying in Heaven Dou City for a long time. Living in inns or hotels every day would be far too extravagant.

"Fine." Lu Fei wore a miserable expression and spoke weakly.

Lu Yu ignored him.

After asking around all the way, the two finally arrived at the entrance to Heaven Dou City's Spirit Hall.

Entering the main hall, Lu Yu went to the information desk. After showing his Elder Token, he said, "Hello, I would like to see Platinum Bishop Salas."

After leaving Notting Academy, Lu Yu had specifically taken Lu Fei back to Soulless Village for a few days. They had also spent quite some time traveling to Heaven Dou City.

That much time was enough for Yue Guan to notify Salas.

Even if he had not notified him, it did not matter.

He had Yue Guan's Elder Token. Salas presumably would not refuse to show him respect.

"Bishop Salas is not someone you..." The receptionist was about to snap at him, but then he looked up and saw the Elder Token in Lu Yu's hand.

He immediately stood up in excitement.

"Um... I-I-I... Please wait a moment. I will notify him right away." With that, the receptionist ran off in panic.

Seeing the token was like seeing the person himself. The receptionist did not dare question them because of their age. After all, could two little brats have stolen a token from an elder?

They were most likely second-generation heirs from Spirit City.

Watching the receptionist hurry away, Lu Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Fortunately, there had been no clichéd drama.

The receptionist did not make them wait long and quickly returned to the hall.

"Gentlemen, Bishop Salas has asked me to take you upstairs. Please follow me." The receptionist's attitude had clearly changed drastically.

He was less panicked than before and much more respectful.

Lu Yu did not say anything further.

As for making Salas come down to receive them?

Come on, Lu Yu was not an idiot.

Salas was one of Spirit Hall's four great bishops. Aside from the elders, he could be said to stand below one person and above ten thousand.

And Lu Yu?

He was merely a small fry using someone else's authority as his own.

Not to mention him.

Even if Hu Liena had come, it would have been perfectly reasonable for Salas not to receive her personally.

Still, social etiquette had to be observed. If a disciple of the Pope truly came, Salas would certainly receive them in person.

The three arrived before an office with its door open. At a glance, Lu Yu saw Salas inside, wearing a five-pointed platinum crown.

The receptionist said respectfully, "Bishop Salas, I have brought them."

Salas, who had been lowering his head over some unknown documents, finally raised his head. His gaze fell directly upon Lu Yu and Lu Fei.

A Soul Saint-Level Bodyguard

"Greetings, Bishop Salas!"

Lu Yu gave a shallow salute, neither servile nor overbearing.

Lu Fei copied him.

Salas looked at them curiously. "You are Lu Yu and Lu Fei?"

From his tone, Lu Yu understood. It seemed Yue Guan had already informed him. That would make things easier.

Lu Yu said, "Yes, Bishop Salas."

Salas nodded and looked toward the receptionist. "Go back to your work first."

"Yes, Bishop Salas."

After bowing, the receptionist turned and left, closing the office door behind him.

Only then did Salas look at Lu Yu and Lu Fei. "Chrysanthemum Douluo has already informed me before your arrival. Tell me, what help do you need?"

Although he had never heard of the two, they might be the grandsons of some elder. Salas did not dare deal with them carelessly.

"It is like this." Lu Yu said, "We may be staying in Heaven Dou City for a long time in the future, so we came to see whether Bishop Salas could arrange a place for us to stay."

Salas replied readily, "A small matter. I will have someone take you there later. Other than that, is there anything else?"

Spirit Hall had operated in Heaven Dou City for many years and owned quite a bit of property. Arranging a residence for them was nothing difficult.

"Emmm..."

Seeing how agreeable he was, Lu Yu thought for a moment before saying, "Next, we will be training in the Great Soul Arena. We may reveal some things that draw attention, so could I trouble Bishop Salas to arrange someone to protect us as well?"

If they wanted to obtain Silver Soul Badges, their Soul Rings would inevitably be exposed.

Their Second Soul Rings were already thousand-year rings. Lu Yu did not believe no one would be tempted. They were not afraid of opponents at the same level; what they feared were those who used their seniority to bully the young.

Right now, even a random Soul Ancestor or Soul King was not something they could handle. Thus, the best solution was to borrow Spirit Hall's power.
