Beibei's Impulsive Heart, Shattered by a Single Punch

Xu Jiujiu smiled.

Was it worth it? The answer was simple: it was worth it.

As a disciple of the Dragon God Douluo, the future Sea God Pavilion Master, and possessing the ultimate Martial Soul, the Golden Dragon, he was naturally worth looking forward to.

Qing Ya had no idea how important this condition was.

It was a condition that could save the Star Luo Empire from dire straits, a condition that could save a nation.

This condition might never be used in a lifetime, but if it was, it would be a huge profit.

Wasn't this Dragon Blood meant to be used? What was there to be worth it or not?

However... if it were Dai Yueheng and Beibei, Xu Jiujiu would have to seriously consider whether to withdraw the auction, as the future prospects of the two were not as good as Yu Daoyun's.

The entrance to the auction house.

Tang Ya kept looking inside, waiting for Yu Daoyun to come out.

Since he had bought so many things for her, she definitely had to thank him, and they could return to the academy together.

At this moment, Yu Daoyun walked out from inside.

Tang Ya immediately went up to him, smiling, "How was it? Did you get it?"

Yu Daoyun nodded, "I got it, but they didn't mention that condition."

"Then they should bring it up when you grow stronger in the future. Let's head back to the academy first." Tang Ya said.

Yu Daoyun "Mm"ed, thinking that the Tang Sect Master's mind was quite sharp at this moment.

With the Dragon Blood obtained, he could proceed to unlock the Golden Dragon King Seal upon returning.

Soon, the two walked towards the academy.

Along the way, Tang Ya chattered incessantly like a little sparrow.

Yu Daoyun just smiled slightly at this, not expecting her to be so enthusiastic.

However, as they reached the academy entrance, Yu Daoyun and Tang Ya encountered Beibei and Xu Sanshi.

They seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Tang Ya blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Beibei, you guys haven't returned to the academy yet!"

"No."

Beibei responded curtly, his face grim as he approached Yu Daoyun and said, "I challenge you. You must defeat me today, or you won't be allowed back into the academy."

Yu Daoyun was stunned, noticing Beibei's expression was very wrong, as if he was about to explode at any moment.

He glanced at Tang Ya again and seemed to understand everything.

It was probably because he had snatched the Dragon Blood for Martial Soul Evolution at the auction, and then snatched the girl Beibei liked. The hot-blooded youth was enraged for the sake of his beloved.

What a situation this was.

He really didn't want to beat Beibei down.

"Are you crazy!"

Tang Ya exclaimed, unable to help but worry for Beibei.

She really hadn't expected Beibei to challenge Yu Daoyun. What was the difference between this and seeking death? Xu Sanshi had already been sent to the hospital with one punch.

Beibei responded coldly, "Xiao Ya, this is a fated duel between me and Yu Daoyun. Unless you defeat me today, I won't let you pass."

Tang Ya cursed, "Idiot!"

Beibei remained stubborn and refused to yield, while Xu Sanshi cheered him on from the side, applauding his good brother's spirit.

Yu Daoyun sighed and said to Beibei, "Actually, you don't need to think of me as so bad. Do you need Dragon Blood? I can give you two drops."

Beibei was about to soften but then insisted, "I don't want it. I want to challenge you."

Yu Daoyun asked, "Because of Tang Ya?"

Beibei said seriously, "I want to challenge you."

"Come on!"

Yu Daoyun was truly helpless, having never encountered such an unreasonable request. He then raised his hand to Beibei, signaling him to make his move.

Hearing this, Beibei suddenly retreated. Three Soul Rings lit up beneath his feet, and his entire body was enveloped in Blue Lightning, his aura suddenly surging.

"Third Soul Skill, Wrath of Thunder."

The moment the third Soul Ring lit up, the lightning around Beibei surged again, boosting all his attributes.

This was his strongest amplification Soul Skill, with an attack boost of over 50%. Even a high-level Soul Ancestor with four rings would find it difficult to withstand.

The next moment, Beibei's second Soul Ring lit up again. His fists were covered in fine blue scales, and he suddenly charged forward, swinging his fists at Yu Daoyun.

Instantly, lightning crackled, and the Fist of Thunder struck down.

Facing this punch, Yu Daoyun casually raised one hand.

BOOM--!

A sonic boom erupted, and while the electricity of the Blue Lightning still crackled, Beibei's figure came to a dead halt, unable to advance even an inch further.

It was as if he were facing a massive mountain, an insurmountable peak.

Yu Daoyun remarked, "Your soul power isn't low, but your force is a bit weak."

Having said that, he exerted a casual burst of strength, sending Beibei flying backward until he slammed into the academy wall.

Xu Sanshi immediately rushed over, shouting, "Beibei, are you alright?"

"Sanshi, I'm fine."

Beibei struggled to his feet, looking as if he had lost all his strength; his gait was unsteady, and he appeared deeply dejected.

He had lost!

The outcome had been decided in a single strike.

Or perhaps, he had been heading toward defeat from the very beginning, knowing full well he was no match for Yu Daoyun, yet stubbornly choosing to challenge him anyway.

Now that he had received a definitive result, Beibei felt a sense of release.

Soon, Beibei's lonely silhouette grew increasingly blurred until he vanished into the academy.

Xu Sanshi chased after him to offer support, only to be pushed away.

Watching the dejected scene, Yu Daoyun sighed with pity, "Knowing you couldn't win, why bother? I truly don't understand."

With that, he also departed, leaving a bewildered Tang Ya standing in place.

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Ya followed him into the academy.

Upon returning to the Sea God Pavilion, Yu Daoyun requested permission from Mu En to enter seclusion, intending to unlock the seal of the Golden Dragon King.

Mu En only pondered for a brief moment before granting the request, opening the best room within the Golden Ancient Tree for Yu Daoyun to cultivate in peace.

Mu En was well aware of the importance of this child; he was the successor.

However, thinking of the Dragon Blood, Mu En cautioned, "The power of the Dragon Blood and those spirit fruits is incredibly tyrannical. You must refine them carefully, or you risk falling into demonic obsession."

Yu Daoyun nodded, "Rest assured, Elder Mu, I have it under control."

Hearing this, Mu En continued, "Your seclusion this time will be quite long. I fear that if I wait too long to speak, it might be too late, so I wish to entrust these matters to you now."

"Please speak, Elder Mu," Yu Daoyun said sincerely.

Mu En's expression turned solemn in an instant, his voice dropping, "What I must tell you now is that I do not have many years left to live—ten years at most, perhaps as few as five. But the only thing I cannot let go of is Shrek Academy."

"If I meet with an accident or depart from the academy, you will be the next Sea God Pavilion Master, possessing absolute authority. When that time comes, I will grant you the power to command the Golden Ancient Tree."

"I have already arranged everything for the academy, and Elder Xuan will assist you."

Even though Yu Daoyun had mentally prepared himself, he couldn't help but be startled.

It seemed Mu En had foreseen something.

Still, the old man's arrangements were truly thorough; he had even accounted for Elder Xuan.

One might call that man unreliable, but when faced with matters of absolute principle, he would not hesitate for a second—he was, after all, a level 98 powerhouse.

Thinking of this, Yu Daoyun bowed in salute and turned to enter the secret chamber.

Shortly after, the door to the chamber sealed shut.

Mu En sighed, turned to leave the Sea God Pavilion, and headed toward the Outer Court.

He intended to comfort Beibei; after all, the boy was a child of that lineage.

Of all things Beibei could have done, he had to go and spar with Yu Daoyun, and now that he had suffered a setback, the old man had to go and console him.

Truly, not a single one of them was easy to worry about.
