Lu Yang's explanation
"Do you have feelings for them?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow. He put down his chopsticks and reached out his hand to Qian Renxue beside him.
Qian Renxue looked at Lu Yang in confusion, but the next moment she froze. Because Lu Yang's hand was already pressed against her forehead.
This scene left She Long and Ci Xue glances. Just as they were wondering what to say, they suddenly heard Lu Yang say, "He doesn't have a fever, so why is he talking nonsense?"
"Smack!"
Qian Renxue slapped Lu Yang's hand away and said irritably, "I'm just worried about you, what do you mean by talking nonsense!?"
"Tsk." Lu Yang clicked his tongue. "Snow Sis, how old am I? What does it matter to me whether it's interesting or not?"
"Besides, I'm not even Titled Douluo yet, how could I have time to talk about these things?"
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Qian Renxue's eyes widened in surprise.
"What does this have to do with whether you're a Titled Douluo Titled Douluo not?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.
"Feelings will only hinder my cultivation! Obstructing someone's cultivation is an unsolvable grudge! It's comparable to killing their entire family!" Lu Yang said very seriously.
"Hiss!" Qian Renxue gasped. "You kid, aren't you going a bit too far?"
"What? Isn't this normal?" Lu Yang retorted.
"Look, how many of those renowned titled powerhouses on the mainland are married? Take She Long and Uncle Ci Xue for example, aren't they old..."
"You little brat, shut your mouth!"
Hearing this, She Long and Ci Xue, who were hiding in the shadows, could no longer bear to listen and hurriedly spoke up to stop Lu Yang from continuing.
Lu Yang shrugged at Qian Renxue, giving her a "you see" look.
Qian Renxue was amused by his appearance. She waved to She Long and Ci Xue, signaling them to step back for the time being, before continuing, "Alright, I hadn't thought about these things before. I was just thinking that if you were interested in them, I could help you check them out and play matchmaker. Since you're not interested, then I won't interfere."
"Yes, Snow Sis, don't worry. We still need to focus on our cultivation. Look, I've already reached the Soul Ancestor."
"Although my cultivation speed is much slower than before, it's still faster than others. In the future, I'll reorganize all the records for the youngest Soul King, Soul Emperor, and even Soul Saint," Lu Yang said proudly.
"Okay, you're amazing!" Qian Renxue smiled helplessly.
"By the way, Snow Sis, I remember you're still Soul King, right?" Lu Yang asked with a smile.
"I'm confident I can reach the Soul Emperor level before I'm twenty. If you don't work hard, I might catch up with you."
"You brat, you're teasing me now. You think I won't beat you up?" Qian Renxue admitted that she was angry. Or rather, she was hurt.
Outside the door, She Long and Ci Xue exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing the words coming from inside the room.
"This kid's got guts. Isn't he afraid the Young Mistress will deal with him?" Ci Xue transmitted his voice to She Long.
"I think this is a good thing," She Long replied telepathically.
"Young Mistress is a genius with Innate Soul Power of Over Twenty, but her current cultivation level is indeed a bit low. A few years ago, she felt pressured by that kid Lu Yang, and initially put aside some official duties to focus on cultivation, but it didn't last long before she became lax again. If Lu Yang's provocation can wake her up and make her more focused on cultivation, I think it would actually be a good thing for Young Mistress."
Hearing She Long's words, Ci Xue nodded thoughtfully.
Inside the room, Lu Yang waved his hand with a smile, pleading, "Just kidding, just kidding, but Snow Sis, you still need to focus on your cultivation. In this world, only your own cultivation strength truly belongs to you. Everything else is just so-so."
"Alright, you little devil, lecturing me now. Eat your food!" Qian Renxue tapped Lu Yang with her chopsticks in annoyance, then picked up a piece of Soul Beast for him, hoping to shut Lu Yang up.
Lu Yang smiled and responded, but didn't continue the previous topic.
Although his words were meant to appease Qian Renxue, they also reflected his true feelings. In this turbulent era of the Douluo Continent, a rookie like him with no ability to protect himself had no time to waste on romance.
Otherwise, given how often he spends time with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, he could have long ago enjoyed the pleasures of having such beauties in his arms. Why would he be spending his days alone in an empty room like this?
Until he gains enough strength to feel secure, Lu Yang will absolutely not slack off in his cultivation. He admits he has lustful desires and has even considered living a more extravagant life. But he will absolutely not let those emotions cloud his judgment. Once he's strong enough, what kind of woman can't he find?
With the Winged Dragon of the Sun Martial Soul, he will one day be able to roam the continent freely. Wouldn't it be better to spend time and effort finding love then? Why bother with getting all lovey-dovey with some young girls right now, at this crucial time for his cultivation? Lu Yang just felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.
However, it was quite Lu Yang that Qian Renxue would bring up this topic with him. But on second thought, Qian Renxue herself is a typical love-struck person. In addition, considering the underlying logic of the Douluo Continent, it doesn't seem so strange that she would bring up this topic.
Lu Yang only hoped that his influence would make Qian Renxue a little more sober. She was destined to become Angel God; if she continued to indulge in romance, then the Spirit Hall would truly have no future.
A few days later, at the Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City.
Lu Yang sat on the dais with "Xue Qinghe".
Today is the day for the Heaven Dou Team to spar with the Soul Fighting Blue Tyrant Team. Although Lu Yang will not be participating, as the nominal captain of the Heaven Dou Team, he still came to the scene.
However, his task today was to accompany "Xue Qinghe" and he didn't need to meet up with the other members of the team.
At this point, the players from both teams were lined up and began exchanging names under the referee's guidance.
Judging from their Soul Power cultivation, the seven members of the Heaven Dou Team have a significantly higher Soul Power Level than the seven members of the Blue Tyrant Team. Although 80% of the noble children in the Heaven Dou Academy are just coasting along, their cultivation is still quite impressive thanks to the abundant resources they receive.
As soon as the two sides exchanged names, the expressions on the faces of the teachers from the Blue Tyrant Academy became more serious. Lu Yang deliberately looked around but couldn't find Liu Erlong among them. Clearly, this Dean Blue Tyrant Academy was not Steward anything, just as described in the original novel.
Besides Tai Long, Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and Jiang Zhu, who appeared in the original work, the other three members of the Blue Tyrant Team are only Soul Grandmaster of the Second Soul Ring. Compared to the members of the Heaven Dou Team, the difference in strength is not small.
