Deep into the Star Dou Great Forest

"Um... sorry, I don't need that kind of support."

Lu Cheng took a sip of tea and said calmly without showing any mercy, "The standards I have for my disciples are unimaginable to ordinary people, let alone this good-for-nothing from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

A woman with a romantic mindset who falls for her uncle.

He wouldn't have been so quick to refuse anyone else.

"..." Yu Tianlong's expression changed slightly, but the other party was still Limit Douluo. Last time he made a move, he directly blasted back that 100,000-year-old Ferocious Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

At the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, a beast tide was attacking a human village.

The young man's figure appeared, and soon the battlefield was littered with the corpses of beasts. Under the crushing force of his terrifying physical strength, even the 100,000-year-old Ferocious Beast Titan Giant Ape was sent flying with a single punch. Not to mention, when he charged into the beast tide, his corpses flew everywhere and blood splattered. His Golden Dragon Spear could even absorb the blood of Soul Beast to replenish itself.

It was after that day that he began to have the idea of becoming an apprentice.

but...

"Alas, since you are unwilling to accept her as your disciple, then she is not destined for this opportunity. This is a small token of my appreciation from Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon; I hope you will accept it."

As he spoke, he gave a wink to the man behind him, who quickly had some boxes brought in. "They're just a small gift, please accept them."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng did not refuse.

Yu Tianlong's eyes lit up with joy. He grabbed six-year-old Liu Erlong, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then turned and left.

Spirit Hall.

Qian Xunji's face flushed red as he pointed at Bibi Dong in front of him, panting heavily. "You, you really have a lot of nerve, daring to meet with him in secret behind my back!"

"Teacher, I am not a tool, I am a living, breathing person, and Yu Xiaogang is not as bad as you say. He is very strong in theory, you don't understand him at all!" Bibi Dong stiffened her neck, stared straight at Qian Xunji, and refused to give an inch.

"I..."

Qian Xunji fainted.

"What could someone with a congenitally Trash Martial Soul possibly know? What could he possibly research? Every single one of his so-called theories is based on existing theories in the current Soul Master World; there's not a single bit of originality in them."

"I won't allow you to talk about him like that!" Bibi Dong glared back, not backing down an inch.

Qian Xunji: "..."

Huffing and puffing.

He recalled what his friend had said: his silly apprentice was completely love-struck; once she fell in love, even a fool would be completely and utterly devoted to her.

For the first time, he even considered changing the saintess.

but...

He took a deep breath, glanced at Bibi Dong, and said coldly, "I said no, and that's final. Don't you even listen to your master anymore? Is that little beast more important than me?"

"Yes! So what if it is!" Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her temper flaring.

"Fine! Fine! I've raised such an ingrate for nothing!" Qian Xunji furious. He raised his hand to slap her, but seeing his disciple's stubborn eyes, he stopped. He glared coldly at Bibi Dong and left.

Bibi Dong watched Qian Xunji's departing figure and the slowly closing hall. A new resolve hardened within her; she was determined to escape this suffocating cage. In her eyes, Qian Xunji's control over her was both suffocating and terrifying. She recalled Yu Xiaogang's earlier words, "Let's elope..."

"Yeah, how about... we elope?"

"Old Lu, I'm having a hard time..."

On the other side, Qian Xunji gulped down several mouthfuls of wine, trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol. His eyes were fixed on the distance, his usual majestic Pope demeanor gone, as he poured out his grievances to Lu Cheng beside him.

"Don't tell me." Lu Cheng said calmly, taking a sip of tea.

"You chose this path, you have to finish it, even if you have to crawl on your knees."

"Sigh..." Qian Xunji sighed deeply, "She was so obedient when she was little, how come she became like this when she grew up..."

I thought she was older now and would understand my good intentions, but who knew...

"Some people can't be changed. If you still have that idea, you might as well give up now." Lu Cheng glanced at Qian Xunji and said calmly.

"..." Qian Xunji remained silent for a long time.

Lu Cheng thought that Bibi Dong, and was finally relieved.

Changing the subject. "The riots in the Far North are becoming more and more frequent, and I've discovered that besides Da Ming Er Ming, there are other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Soul Beast the Star Dou Great Forest."

"How is this possible?!" Qian Xunji looked at Lu Cheng in astonishment. "If there were other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, why didn't I notice them?"

"Perhaps they've simply fallen into a deep slumber, in the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest. Only by going there can we detect their presence. I plan to..."

"You're not going to tell me you're going there, are you?" Qian Xunji asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Not bad." Lu Cheng took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

He planned to go and see for himself what was wrong in the core area of Star Dou Great Forest that was causing the Soul Beast to attack humans so frequently.

And this is probably the key to this Simulation.

"If what you say is true, then that's far too dangerous..." Qian Xunji scratched her head and said.

"How about I send my father with you? He's also Limit Douluo, so he'll be there to help you if anything happens."

"And you?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"I've only recently advanced to the Titled Douluo, my strength is too weak... I'd better give up." Qian Xunji chuckled.

"By the way, to avoid Yu Xiaogang, I plan to send that girl to the Slaughter City for some training. It will take at least three to five years for her to come out. I suppose she will have forgotten everything by then."

"..."

Lu Cheng was speechless.

She shook her head and ignored him.

[That same year, you ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest and encountered Da Ming and Er Ming. You personally beat them both up, attempting to extract some information, but were rescued by a beam of light. You recognized it as the aura of Di Tian. To uncover the truth, you fought Di Tian for three hundred rounds. The latter was no match for you and fled injured. However, at the same time, another pale silver light also severely injured you—it was the Silver Dragon King...]

[You returned severely injured, causing Qian Xunji to be shocked and panicked. He hurriedly dispatched the best physicians to treat you, but you refused. You knew that this injury was not so easy to heal, after all, you were Demigod (the Silver Dragon King was injured and not as strong as at his peak), so you secretly recuperated.]

[Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. You've heard a lot of news. The two twin stars of the Clear Sky Sect have gone out to explore the continent and met a woman, forming a new Golden Triangle. Qian Xunji has also sent Bibi Dong to the Slaughter City. You went there before she left and discovered that Bibi Dong has developed hatred for Qian Xunji, but he hasn't noticed. You felt somewhat helpless, but you didn't interfere.]
