Liu Erlong stood where she was, listening intently to this long-winded discourse.

Watching the look of utter confidence on Yu Xiaogang, her eyes, blinded by affection, suddenly lit up with a glow of adoration.

She nodded in deep agreement, praising him with a face full of admiration.

"Xiaogang, you truly are yourself!"

"I never even thought about these deeper aspects before. Your analysis is simply too thorough!"

Hearing the praise from the woman he loved, Yu Xiaogang lifted his chin slightly, his expression becoming incomparably arrogant.

"That goes without saying."

"There is still so much about the mysteries of theory in the Spirit World that you do not know."

Watching him like this, Liu Erlong grew even more adoring, feeling that the man before her was the wisest person in the entire world.

After basking in this worship, Yu Xiaogang suddenly remembered the real reason he had sought out Liu Erlong today.

His originally arrogant posture stiffened for a moment.

Then, he coughed twice in embarrassment, lowered his stance, and spoke with a tone of request.

"Erlong."

"Actually, I came to you today to ask if you could do me a favor."

Liu Erlong agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Xiaogang, what are you saying? As long as I can help you, I am willing to do anything."

"What do you need me to do?"

Seeing her agree so readily, Yu Xiaogang immediately stated his purpose.

"I want you to step forward and help me contact this Marquis of Wuyang. I want to meet him in person."

After listening, Liu Erlong pondered for a moment.

"That is not impossible."

"I am, after all, the headmistress of this Blue Tyrant Academy, and I have at least some standing in Heaven Dou City. Sending someone to deliver a formal request for a meeting shouldn't be difficult."

Having said this, she revealed a look of concern.

"However, he is, after all, a prince with power that shakes the imperial court."

"I can only be responsible for conveying your message that you wish to see him. As for whether he is willing to lower himself to meet you, I cannot guarantee that."

Upon hearing this, that mysterious confidence once again surfaced on Yu Xiaogang's face.

He straightened his back and gave his word with absolute certainty.

"Erlong, just go ahead and arrange it."

"As long as you can arrange for the two of us to meet, I have my own methods."

"My Spirit Core Theory is the most perfect research in this world. As long as I bring out this theory and tell him that I can make him stronger, I will use that as a bargaining chip."

As he spoke with growing excitement, Yu Xiaogang even clenched his fists.

"I firmly believe that once he hears my analysis, he will surely be convinced and submit to me!"

"At that time, having him release Zhu Zhuqing and return her to Shrek Academy will be a matter of course."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang looking so confident, Liu Erlong did not say anything more.

She nodded solemnly.

"Fine, since you are so certain, I will take care of this matter."

"There is no time to lose; I will head to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion myself to find Tang Yu for you."

This day.

Within the spacious and quiet courtyard of the Wuyang Marquis Mansion.

Tang Yu stood alone in the center of the yard, holding the divine artifact he had obtained not long ago.

The God-Slaying Spear was deep dark purple throughout, with heart-stopping lightning patterns flowing across the surface of the shaft.

Tang Yu reached out and gently stroked the cold, hard spear shaft.

He could clearly feel what kind of world-destroying power was contained within this weapon.

Tang Yu flicked his wrist, casually swinging the long spear through the air.

Hum!

A low, explosive sound suddenly rang out.

Where the spear tip passed, the space instantly produced a violent tremor, and a visible ripple in the void spread outward in all directions.

Under the impact of this ripple, the nearby rockeries were instantly reduced to powder filling the sky.

Looking at this scene, Tang Yu smiled with great satisfaction.

In the past, when killing enemies on the battlefield, he had always relied on pure soul power suppression, never having a weapon that felt truly right in his hands.

Now, with this divine artifact in his grasp, his true combat power had skyrocketed, soaring to a terrifying level.

Furthermore, his soul power had already reached level ninety-four.

Relying on the full set of hundred-thousand-year-level soul rings he possessed, he even had the strength to fight against those level ninety-nine peerless Douluo.

After admiring the power of the divine artifact, Tang Yu moved his mind and retracted the God-Slaying Spear into his storage space.

He walked over to the stone table in the courtyard, sat down, picked up a teacup, and took a sip.

Once he was idle, his mind involuntarily began to contemplate his next plans.

Although there were many prominent beauties in Heaven Dou Imperial City, very few could truly catch his eye.

Just as Tang Yu was secretly calculating, a series of hurried footsteps came from the arched gate of the courtyard.

A subordinate of the Marquis of Wuyang estate walked quickly to his side, respectfully knelt on one knee, and tapped the stone pillar nearby.

"Reporting to Your Highness."

"Someone outside the estate gate is asking to see you."

Tang Yu set down the teacup in his hand and asked nonchalantly.

"Who is it?"

The subordinate did not dare to delay and immediately reported truthfully.

"The visitor claims to be the headmaster of Blue Tyrant Academy and wishes to invite you to a meeting."

"She asked this subordinate to deliver a message first to inquire if Your Highness would agree to the meeting."

Hearing this report, Tang Yu raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment.

Liu Erlong?

That hot-tempered, equally hot-bodied dragon lady?

Tang Yu curled his lips, revealing a smile full of interest.

This was truly a case of someone bringing a pillow just as one felt sleepy.

Tang Yu waved his hand at the subordinate and issued an order in a flat tone.

"Let her come over."

Having received his master's instructions, the subordinate responded respectfully and quickly retreated from the courtyard.

Outside the tall, vermilion gates of the Marquis of Wuyang estate.

Liu Erlong stood at the bottom of the steps, took a deep breath, and could not help but feel a sense of nervousness rising in her heart.

Rumors about this newly appointed Marquis of Wuyang had been spreading like wildfire throughout Heaven Dou City recently.

According to the rumors, Tang Yu was decisive in slaughter on the battlefield, a ruthless character who would dare to start a massacre at the slightest disagreement.

Countless people in the imperial court and the public feared him, and ordinary citizens dared not even step within half a pace of this residence.

Although these were mostly street rumors, they were enough to illustrate the terrifying nature of the man inside.

Liu Erlong steadied her mind, stepped onto the stairs, and reached out to knock on the heavy door knocker.

Not long after, the tightly shut gate was opened from the inside.

The servant who had gone in to report earlier poked his head out, looked her up and down, and then stepped aside.

"His Highness is inside, follow me."

Liu Erlong followed the servant's footsteps, passing through the front courtyard and entering the quiet and profound inner courtyard of the Marquis of Wuyang estate.

The courtyard was arranged with great elegance, lacking the murderous atmosphere she had imagined.

Passing through a long corridor, a clear little lake appeared ahead, with an exquisite pavilion built by the lakeside.

The servant stopped in his tracks, bowed, and retreated.

Liu Erlong followed his line of sight and saw the person sitting in the pavilion at a single glance.
