Yu Tianheng, the Dragon King Returns?

"Almost forgot, thanks, put it on my tab!"

Chu Men had just greeted the waiter when the gourmet food in his hand was snatched away by a certain tyrannosaurus.

Chu Men: "Sister Erlong..."

Liu Erlong: "Hmm?"

Chu Men: "Nothing, it was meant for you anyway."

Liu Erlong: "Mm."

Xiao Wu: "..."

Xiao Wu looked at Chu Men: I'm saying, you're a kidnapper at least, aren't you being a bit too spineless?

Chu Men glared at Xiao Wu: Debts of the heart are hard to repay, what would a kid know!

Chu Men and Xiao Wu escorted Liu Erlong all the way to Blue Tyrant Academy.

Just as they reached the cluster of wooden cabins belonging to Liu Erlong, a bolt of blue lightning suddenly struck down!

The rainwater along the path was evaporated into wisps of white mist by the lightning, and a figure drenched from head to toe stood in the rain, blue electric arcs crackling across his body.

It was only when the man saw Liu Erlong standing to the side that the electric light on his body vanished.

The rain poured down without obstruction, and a drowned rat dressed in blue athletic gear made his grand entrance.

The torrential rain soaked his black hair, streaming continuously down his gloomy face.

It was none other than Yu Tianheng, who had been waiting there for a long time!

[Who is this guy? Standing in the rain like this on a day like this, is there something wrong with his head?]

[Look at all that lightning, he must be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]

"Tianheng?"

Liu Erlong was stunned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Yu Tianheng seemed not to hear her, staring straight at Chu Men, his killing intent overflowing.

Seeing this, Liu Erlong led everyone directly into the room, activated a Soul-Guided Device for lighting, and sat down primly:

"Speak, what is going on?"

Seeing that Yu Tianheng remained silent for a long time, Chu Men feigned confusion and asked:

"Who are you?"

"I am Yu Tianheng! The heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and said, "You publicly insulted our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan during the open lecture today, saying that Yu Tianxin is my ancestor. I want to duel you!"

[Hahahaha, Yu Tianheng is absolutely furious!]

[Dying of laughter, Yu Tianxin just got a massive promotion in seniority!]

[Yu Luomian:...]

Hearing this, Liu Erlong looked at Chu Men with a very strange expression.

She knew Chu Men was unreliable at times, but she hadn't expected him to be this unreliable.

Chu Men shook the rainwater off his body with a blank expression, skipping the small talk:

"Oh, so you're here to fight, right!"

When dealing with this kind of hot-headed young man, knocking him down first was more persuasive than any explanation!

"That's right, for the honor of the clan!"

"Bang!"

Yu Tianheng collapsed heavily to the ground.

One-punch KO!

Talking so much nonsense while trying to fight without even activating his Martial Soul—he was just spoiled!

Chu Men took out a towel and calmly wiped the water stains off his fist.

Yu Tianheng struggled to climb up from the ground, sporting a bruised right eye, and let out a roar:

"Martial Soul Avatar!"

Two yellow soul rings rose abruptly from his body, and he immediately transformed into a bolt of blue lightning, pouncing forward with crackling electric arcs.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Chu Men stood motionless, waiting until the dragon claw was about to touch his chest before slowly raising his fist.

To deal with a Great Soul Master, there was no need to use a Martial Soul, or even soul power.

Chu Men gathered his strength, planted his feet firmly, and aligned his waist and stance.

Striking after, yet arriving first!

"Bang!"

Another muffled thud echoed!

Yu Tianheng was sent flying, slamming heavily into the wall as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

The entire room fell into a deathly silence, with only the sound of the pouring rain outside echoing in everyone's ears.

[One Punch Man? That's awesome, streamer!]

[Wait, so Yu Tianheng is only a two-ring Great Spirit Master at this point? Challenging a Spirit Ancestor—who gave him the courage?]

[Chu Men: You should go back and train for another ten years. If you're still not convinced, come back and fight then!]

Chu Men flexed his fist, adjusting to the numbing sensation left by the lightning.

Liu Erlong set down her teacup and looked at the disheveled Yu Tianheng, a flicker of disappointment crossing her eyes:

"Enough! You are no match for him."

"Cousin!"

Yu Tianheng shouted, unwilling to accept defeat, the lightning aura on his hands refusing to dissipate.

"Go back and cultivate properly!"

Liu Erlong's voice carried an unquestionable authority.

"I will teach him a lesson!"

Yu Tianheng caught Liu Erlong's stern gaze and saw that Chu Men didn't even take him seriously, so he forced himself to stand up.

The combative genes within Xiao Wu stirred faintly, but she merely stood in place, watching Yu Tianheng walk past in his wretched state.

After all, she was only a level thirteen little Spirit Master; she had no standing to intervene in this battle.

Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing his injuries, and opened his mouth as if to say more, but Liu Erlong waved her hand to cut him off.

In the Douluo World, a gap in strength is the original sin!

Instead of wasting time here, he would be better off going back to cultivate honestly!

Under Liu Erlong's gaze, Yu Tianheng lowered his head, then cast one last resentful look at Chu Men before fleeing the wooden cabin without looking back.

The blue figure vanished into the torrential curtain of rain.

[This Yu Tianheng is quite the character!]

[Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; don't bully a young man because he's poor!]

[Yu Tianheng: Just wait three years for the Dragon King to return! Then I'll challenge you to a duel on Mount Hua! Haha.]

"Alright, according to our bet, Xiao Wu's afternoon belongs to me. Let's spar again tomorrow morning!"

Chu Men held a black umbrella with gold trim, pulled the spectating Xiao Wu toward him, and said to Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong snorted in frustration and ignored him, instead handing a small booklet to Xiao Wu:

"Xiao Wu, these are my cultivation insights. Read them carefully. Remember, for a Spirit Master, the improvement of spirit power is the most important thing!"

Chu Men remained noncommittal to this statement.

One black and one pink figure disappeared into the curtain of rain.

Liu Erlong stood at the doorway, her chest rising and falling slightly; the anger suppressed earlier because of Dugu Yan had not yet fully dissipated.

She subconsciously touched the dark red mechanical watch on her wrist, the cold touch calming her mood significantly.

A faint, involuntary smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and the fire in her chest gradually transformed into a gentle expression:

"That guy!"

On the path in the rain.

"Xiao Wu, oh Xiao Wu, now that Sister Erlong is looking out for you, I can finally rest a little easier."

Xiao Wu replied with a mix of playfulness and pride: "That's right, Sister Erlong is the master I just acknowledged!"

The implication: You weird uncle, don't even think about bullying me easily from now on!

Although Xiao Wu didn't understand much about matters of the heart, she could clearly see that Liu Erlong was very good to her!

"You little girl, so violent at such a young age. You should learn less from that female tyrannosaur, Sister Erlong!"

Before Chu Men could finish his sentence, a sharp pain shot through his instep.

"Ah! Why did you step on me?"

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears stood straight up. "You are not allowed to speak ill of my Sister Erlong. She is the best to me!"

[Hahaha, serves you right for having a loose tongue!]

[Xiao Wu and Liu Erlong—is this the bond of fate?]

Chu Men had a way of dealing with Xiao Wu; he only needed to say one thing, coolly:

"Little rabbit, I'm punishing you with one hour of no snacks!"

"You, you're the worst!"

After saying that, Xiao Wu ran off into the distance.

The rain had eased up a little, but it still couldn't hinder the girl's skipping pace.

"Slow down, be careful not to trip!"

Returning to the Star Soul Guidance Shop.

Chu Men changed his clothes and took out the nearly finished Fire Dragon Battle Armor, placing it on the workbench.

Just as he rolled up his sleeves, preparing to get down to business, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

"Who is it? In such heavy rain."

Chu Men opened the door to see two guys wearing Great Soul Arena uniforms.

"Seriously, picking the exact moment I'm working to show up!"
