Bringing Everyone to the Battle Through the Heavens World

Ning Rongrong's eyes darted. She hurried forward, her voice sweet enough to be cloying.

"Brother Lu Chuan~ Could I trade two Fifty Thousand Year Soul Bones instead? Five plus five equals ten, after all. Rongrong's a little silly~ But that should be right, shouldn't it~?"

She blinked her big eyes, looking utterly innocent as she tried to bluff her way through.

Lu Chuan beamed at her and praised her.

"Wow~ Rongrong, you're so clever~"

The moment he finished speaking, he rapped Ning Rongrong on the forehead.

"Do you think I'm a fucking idiot?! Go play with mud somewhere!"

"Ow!"

Ning Rongrong clutched her forehead, tears welling in her eyes as she pouted.

"You could've just said no. Why hit me?"

Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly and buried his face in the Dou Technique manual.

After reading through it, he settled on two movement techniques, three defensive techniques, and four offensive techniques.

Lu Chuan took out the copies Ning Fengzhi had chosen and laid them on the stone table.

"Remember one thing. Ning Rongrong and I made a contract before. Whoever reads the contents of these Self-Created Dou Techniques first gets the chance to learn them. Anyone else who reads them afterward won't understand a thing."

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

Rongrong had mentioned that before, though he was still curious what kind of contract could exert such power.

Just as he was about to stand and take his leave, Lu Chuan took out a neatly folded sheet of paper and placed it on the stone table.

"If you want to practice these Self-Created Soul Skills, you'll need a diagram of the Meridians. One sheet costs ten thousand Gold Coins."

Ning Fengzhi froze, his expression stiffening.

Beside him, Ning Rongrong's eyes went wide.

"Shouldn't that come with them? Why do we have to buy it separately?!"

Lu Chuan wagged a finger in front of her.

"Not so. You can choose not to buy it, but don't blame me for how your training turns out."

Ning Fengzhi looked at Lu Chuan helplessly.

"We'll buy it. Is there anything else? Please tell us all at once, my friend."

"I don't think so. But I might've forgotten something."

Ning Fengzhi's temples throbbed. Suppressing his irritation, he handed Lu Chuan ten thousand Gold Coins.

"In that case, we'll take our leave."

He gathered everything up, turned, and led the others away.

Standing at the back, Xue Qinghe looked thoroughly pleased to see them getting fleeced just as he had been.

Yes! That's it!

That stifled look when you've been ripped off but still have to hold your nose and pay up!

I love seeing those stunned faces of yours!

It was Dugu Bo's first time watching Lu Chuan sell things this way.

He silently gave him a thumbs-up.

Only you could pull this off. Your heart's even blacker than mine.

In this, I'd call you the strongest!

Lu Chuan put all the Gold Coins into his system storage, then turned to Dugu Bo.

"Old man, get back to guarding the gate."

"Again? Sigh..."

Dugu Bo sighed but did not dare argue. He slunk back to the courtyard gate and squatted down.

"Come on, Zhu Qing, Lingling. Let's keep practicing. If you want to master movement techniques, you have to get your leg positions right. I'll help you adjust."

Lu Chuan turned to Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately adjusted her stance, bending her knees slightly and lowering her body.

Ye Lingling stretched quickly and took the opening stance for the movement technique, sending gentle Soul Power through her Meridians and into her legs.

Lu Chuan stepped forward and adjusted their knees and the angles of their hips, correcting each small flaw in their movements.

"Keep your center of gravity low. Don't let it drift. Drive from your thighs, not your ankles, or someone will easily break your stance in a close fight."

The two women listened intently, repeating the movements again and again under his guidance.

At the courtyard gate, Dugu Bo squatted on the ground, idly picking at the gaps between the paving stones with a thin twig to pass the time.

Lu Chuan's voice carried out from the courtyard as he guided their training. Dugu Bo listened for a moment and curled his lip.

He muttered under his breath.

"We're all his subordinates, but I'm stuck outside guarding the gate while they're in there practicing Self-Created Soul Skills. Talk about unfair."

Despite his complaints, he did not dare slack off. His gaze swept the area outside the residence from time to time, watching for strangers.

Fortunately, Lu Chuan had not shortchanged him.

At one point, Lu Chuan had given him an Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

After he consumed it, his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul grew stronger. Dragon horns sprouted from its head, transforming it from a serpent into a flood dragon.

Two days later.

After Zhu Zhuqing helped Lu Chuan dress and he finished breakfast, he summoned Dugu Bo.

Then he handed each of them an Immortal Herb.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and he spoke excitedly.

"Young Master, I can't possibly accept this! Didn't you just give me one the day before yesterday? How am I supposed to take another?"

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes.

"What are you thinking? These are for you to trade with me. I'm taking you to another world..."

He went on to explain the rules of the Battle Through the Heavens World and how they differed from the Douluo World.

When he finished, he raised a hand and conjured three contracts.

"Trade your Immortal Herbs for the right to spend one day in the Battle Through the Heavens World. If your lives are threatened, you'll return automatically."

Zhu Zhuqing pressed her hand to her contract without hesitation.

Ye Lingling followed immediately.

Seeing that the two young women had done it, Dugu Bo dared not hesitate either. He feared the unscrupulous man would hold it against him.

A moment later, the three of them felt their vision blur.

They found themselves in an old-fashioned courtyard.

Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the requests of clients Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Bo.

Obtained Immortal Herbs—Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, and Narcissus Jade Muscles and Bones. Host's mental strength greatly increased, cultivation speed permanently increased by 20%, and physical resilience increased by 30%.

The system notification sounded in Lu Chuan's mind.

His mind cleared, his thoughts growing unusually sharp. A pleasant warmth spread through his muscles and bones.

Dugu Bo looked astonished. His Soul Power surged as he clearly sensed unfamiliar energy streaming into his body and gradually assimilating his Soul Power.

"This Dou Qi really is good stuff! The quality of my Soul Power has improved so much!"

He clenched his fist. Tremendous strength surged through his limbs, leaving him marveling inwardly.

As I am now, I could crush my former self without a problem!

Ye Lingling looked around curiously.

"Young Master, the buildings here seem different from ours."

"Of course. Different worlds have different styles. When we get the chance, I'll take you around this one.

For now, old man, take us into the city."

Dugu Bo used his Soul Power to carry the other three straight into the sky.

The houses and courtyards beneath them rapidly shrank. Below lay a city of the Dou Qi Continent, its buildings stretching into the distance and its streets bustling with carriages and pedestrians.

Lu Chuan could tell Wutan City was far livelier than before.

People in the attire of various clans and sects were everywhere.

Ye Lingling looked down at the bustling streets, her eyes full of curiosity.

The clothes people wear here are so strange. Why does everyone like robes?

As Dugu Bo carried them through the air, his powerful aura drew many experts in the city to look up at the unexpected figures overhead.

Yun Yun, who had just arrived in Wutan City and was regulating her breathing at an inn, opened her eyes and frowned.

That cold aura...

It doesn't seem to belong to anyone I know.

Could someone from the Jia Ma Empire have heard the news and come to Wutan City?

People from the Jia Ma Empire favor poison, and relations between our nations are poor.

There are still many Misty Cloud Sect disciples and ordinary citizens in the city. I can't let them run amok.

The thought flashed through her mind. Yun Yun rose at once, a pair of cyan Dou Qi wings spreading from her back. She leaped through the window and shot into the sky.
