Yu Tianheng Expelled; Dugu Bo Stumbles into a Heavenly Family Secret

Before long, a decree from the Eastern Palace arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the news was immediately sent back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's stronghold in Heaven Dou City.

Upon learning that one of the clan's heirs had actually been forcibly expelled by the imperial family over a private spirit battle spar,

Yu Tianheng himself, along with the clan elders stationed in Heaven Dou City, flew into a rage.

"What the hell do those bastards from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family mean?!"

Inside the stronghold's main hall, Yu Yuanba, the clan's Sixth Elder stationed there, smashed the wooden table beside him with one slap, burning with fury.

"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's greatest prodigy was willing to lower himself and attend their lousy academy—that was already giving them tremendous face! Yet that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe dared to publicly humiliate our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for the sake of some peasant brat from the countryside!"

"Please calm down, Sixth Elder."

A middle-aged man who appeared to be a steward spoke up from below, his tone filled with undisguised mockery.

"That boy Yu Tianheng really is a useless fool who ruins everything. Is this how he handled the clan's foremost assignment?"

Everyone in the hall understood the situation perfectly well.

Getting Dugu Yan through a marriage alliance among the younger generation, then using that to bind the Poison Douluo firmly to the clan's war chariot—that had been the true reason they sent Yu Tianheng to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The candidate the Council of Elders had strongly recommended back then had actually been Yu Tianxin from the branch of Yu Luomian, the second-in-command.

After all, the clan leader's line had produced an absurd piece of trash like Yu Xiaogang. They truly did not dare place their bets on that line again.

Back when Gangzi's martial soul had yet to awaken, nearly everyone had believed he would be the clan's future.

The resources invested in him had not been few, either.

After all, faced with a supreme genius who had begun studying soul master theory at the age of three—and who was also the clan leader's beloved son—anyone else might have invested even more recklessly.

But clearly, Gangzi had exhausted all the elders' hopes for Yu Yuanzhen's bloodline.

Unfortunately, Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen had insisted on using his authority for personal gain and forcibly shoved this assignment onto his own grandson, Yu Tianheng.

The steward paused, then asked tentatively,

"Sixth Elder, that brat named Lin Nuo caused our clan to lose so much face, and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has been so ungrateful as well. Should we act in secret and teach them a painful lesson?"

Hearing his subordinate's request, a sharp glint flashed through Yu Yuanba's eyes. After weighing it briefly, he waved a hand and rejected the proposal outright.

Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had always held itself in high regard. They simply could not bring themselves to secretly assassinate an eight- or nine-year-old child.

Besides, for Lin Nuo to make the Crown Prince personally step in to protect him, the waters behind him had to run deep.

More importantly, Yu Tianheng's failure this time was simply a heaven-sent opportunity for their branch!

Right now was the crucial moment for Yu Tianxin to fight for the authority of young clan leader. All they needed to do was watch Yu Tianheng continue making a fool of himself. They would not be stupid enough to clean up the clan leader's branch's mess and invite trouble for no reason.

"Forget it. We don't need to do anything."

Yu Yuanba sneered and set the tone.

"Since Heaven Dou Royal Academy won't keep him, just send Yu Tianheng off to that Blue Tyrant Academy.

For the time being, everyone at the stronghold is to behave yourselves. No one is allowed to stir up any additional trouble!"

The announcement of Yu Tianheng's forced expulsion spread through Heaven Dou Royal Academy as though it had grown wings, leaving countless people stunned.

The academy's three Education Committee Members naturally found the matter deeply regrettable.

With Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and exceptional talent, if he could have remained on the Imperial Fighting Team,

he might truly have led the team to an outstanding result in the future Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

However, those three old men were all seasoned schemers, and they understood the situation clearly.

For the imperial family to suddenly issue such a merciless decree, there had to be political maneuvering behind it involving the Eastern Palace and a major clan.

When immortals fought, lowly mortals suffered. As Education Committee Members, they were best off keeping their mouths shut and absolutely could not rashly choose a side.

Lin Nuo, who had also received the news, had a trace of undisguised surprise flash through his eyes.

Finding a way to kick Yu Tianheng, that stumbling block, out of the academy had indeed been part of his long-term plans.

But he had never expected that Angel Lady would handle things with such decisive efficiency this time, directly anticipating his anticipation before he could act.

"Looks like my stupid sister doesn't rely entirely on that World-Shocking Wisdom to get things done. She does have a little brain after all."

Lin Nuo sat at the desk in his dormitory, a satisfied smile curling across his lips.

The situation now could be called exceedingly favorable.

Next, as long as Qian Renxue continued to hold her ground and kept Ning Fengzhi, that old fox full of schemes, from stuffing people into the team,

then, once the timing was right, he could find any excuse to kick out Qin Ming, that damned founding Celestial Dragon lackey whose heart belonged to Shrek.

By then, the Imperial Fighting Team, forged from the Heaven Dou Empire's finest resources, would naturally become Lin Nuo's initial force in his campaign to dominate the continent!

"My young friend, what has made you so happy?"

From a blind corner hidden in the room's shadows, a hoarse, low voice suddenly rang out without warning.

Immediately afterward, a faintly fishy stench that made one's skin crawl spread through the enclosed air.

Lin Nuo's heartbeat skipped violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

That distinctive stench, coupled with such ghostly stealth—there was only one possible identity for the intruder.

Why had Dugu Bo, that Old Poison, slipped into his room without any warning?!

At that moment, Dugu Bo slowly emerged from the darkness, still wearing the manner of a lofty senior, convinced that everything was under his control.

He narrowed his dark green eyes at Lin Nuo's conspicuous purple-haired back, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

However, when Lin Nuo suppressed the turmoil in his heart and slowly turned around, fully revealing his face beneath the lamplight,

the Poison Douluo, whose name shook the world, saw his pupils contract sharply. He froze rigidly in place as if struck by lightning.

That face... Bibi Dong?!

No! The age didn't match. This was clearly a blood descendant of Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall!

Dugu Bo had naturally met that lofty Pope of Spirit Hall.

He would swear upon the dignity of a Title Douluo that he could never mistake those stunning, domineering brows and features!

But...

Why was this peerless monster, who appeared to be the Pope's child, at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

In that instant, Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine, regretting it so badly his guts nearly turned green.

He had merely come to secretly probe the boy's background at his granddaughter's request.

Yet now, it seemed that he had accidentally uncovered a terrifying secret!

This time, it seemed he had truly stumbled into a Heavenly Family secret...
