Talks Break Down
"Um... no, senior, why is Qian Renxue angry? And why should I try to coax her? Why is she angry about my relationship with Sister Na?"
She Long looked at Yu Tianshuang as if she were a fool. His series of questions left this die-hard fan of Qian Renxue speechless... How could His Highness have fallen for such a clueless person...?
"Are you really that naive, or are you just pretending? I can see it all. His Highness likes you, can't you feel it?"
She likes me? I had no idea. I think she actually hates me, since I always seem to make her quite angry every time we meet...
"She Long!!! What nonsense are you spouting?"
Just as the two were whispering secrets in the corner, a golden figure walked out of the Spirit Hall. With a flash of golden light, it appeared in front of the two, glaring at them with undisguised rage.
"So beautiful..."
The two looked embarrassed. They were speaking so softly, how could Qian Renxue have heard them...? Just as She Long was about to say something, She Long, who was Huo Wu with Ling Yuan Douluo, looked at Qian Renxue's profile and couldn't help but marvel at her unparalleled beauty. She couldn't help but utter a stunned voice.
Who is this person? I've never seen her before. She's so beautiful! Huo Wu suddenly felt a sense of crisis. This stunning beauty who had suddenly appeared before her was truly the most beautiful woman she had ever seen in her life, in terms of appearance alone. Even her Pope sister paled in comparison. Huo Wu was confident that in terms of figure and appearance, she was second to none, whether it was Shui Bing'er or Hu Liena. But this blonde woman made her feel a sense of defeat. She, a woman, couldn't resist her beauty...
"Ahem, uh, what are you doing here? Let me introduce you. This is Xue Qinghe, the Heaven Dou Empire, and also the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined Elder of our Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue... This is Huo Wu, my partner..."
Upon seeing Qian Renxue in her true form again, Yu Tianshuang, though prepared and knowing she would likely meet her again on this trip, couldn't help but marvel at her beauty. It seemed Qian Renxue had overheard her conversation with She Long, and Yu Tianshuang was somewhat embarrassed to have her misunderstanding of Qian Renxue's feelings for her exposed.
"Hello, I know you. You're the daughter of the Dean of the Blazing Fire Academy, the genius who almost burned Yue Guan to a crisp in the Spirit Hall. Hello, um... do you also like Yu Tianshuang?"
Qian Renxue gave Yu Tianshuang a reproachful look, then strode gracefully to Huo Wu's side, smiled slightly, and extended her hand.
"You, hello, I, I'm Huo Wu, I... I do like him, wait... what do you mean 'also'? Sister, do you also like this pervert?"
As she drew closer, Huo Wu slightly raised her head, gazing at Qian Renxue's tall figure. She was so beautiful, and so tall... Somewhat shyly, she grasped Qian Renxue's outstretched, Huo Wu hand, and said nervously, then suddenly realized what she'd done, a look of shock crossing her pretty face...
"Yeah, I just like this cocky brat, so what?"
Qian Renxue spoke very naturally, as if she were talking about something very ordinary, which Huo Wu found hard to accept. How could such a beautiful woman like Yu Tianshuang, that lecherous scoundrel, be interested in her...?
"Qian Renxue, don't talk nonsense. We've only met a few times, how could you like me... Stop fooling around, we're here on important business..."
Yu Tianshuang glanced at She Long, who had an expression that said, and stepped forward, speaking with a serious face.
"What? Why can't I like you? Never mind, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Just know that I like you. If you have something important to do, then do it. I just came to see my future man..."
Qian Renxue was very satisfied with Yu Tianshuang's arrogant reaction this time, and secretly chuckled to herself. Then she glanced at She Long, turned into a golden light, and disappeared from the spot.
"See? I told you, Her Highness likes you. But Her Highness's behavior today was a bit off; his reaction was too normal..."
She Long recalled how Qian Renxue had been furious when she found out that Yu Tianshuang and the Holy Maiden were together. Given her personality, she shouldn't have reacted like this today upon seeing a new rival.
"That smug brat... he's hooked up with another one, really... Bibi Dong, it's all your fault! If I hadn't stayed here, so many women wouldn't have had the chance... I'm so angry..."
Upon returning to the palace, Qian Renxue closed the door. The gentle expression she had just displayed at the Spirit Hall vanished instantly, replaced by a look of resentment as she clenched her fists.
"You've traveled for so long today, you must be tired. Get some rest and recharge your energy. Tomorrow we'll head to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan together..."
The next day, at dawn, at the entrance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Tianshuang! It's been a long time! Grandpa and the others were overjoyed to hear you were coming..."
Yu Tianheng, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw Yu Tianshuang and her group of four and smiled broadly before walking forward familiarly.
"Yeah, it's been a long time..."
To be honest, Yu Tianheng has a really good personality. He is friendly and doesn't think he is superior to others. However, Yu Tianshuang can't quite put her finger on it, but she instinctively feels disgusted by the people in this family and doesn't want to talk to them much.
"Alright, alright, alright, so you must be Xiaoruan's son. How come you haven't come back even once in all these years, and you've even joined the Spirit Hall..."
In the main hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the tall and burly Yu Yuanzhen looked at the four people who walked in and spoke to Yu Tianshuang.
"Greetings, Sect Master Yu. I have come to visit your sect for two main reasons. First, I have been entrusted by Her Majesty Bibi Dong, the His Holiness the Pope our Spirit Hall, to invite your sect to join our Spirit Hall. Second, I would like to inquire about the details of the deal you made with the former Pope Qian Xunji."
After sitting down, Yu Tianshuang looked at the burly man at the head of the table. This man, who led the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to become one of the Upper Three Sects, looked like a robust middle-aged man. Yu Tianshuang took a sip of tea, ignored Yu Yuanzhen's somewhat casual conversation, and spoke directly.
Hearing Yu Tianshuang's emotionless, businesslike demeanor, Yu Yuanzhen's smile froze for a moment. However, having been in a high position for a long time, he was still very shrewd and smiled kindly as he said:
"Look at you, we're all family, why are you speaking so formally? Don't call me 'Sect Leader,' just call me 'Great-Grandfather.' No rush, go see your grandfather first. We can talk about these things later..."
Yu Yuanzhen's self-control was quite impressive. He didn't answer Yu Tianshuang's question, but instead spoke as if he were a wanderer who had been away from home for many years.
"No need, Sect Master Yu. You must give me an answer to these two matters today..."
Yu Tianshuang had no desire to see her grandfather, who didn't even care about his own son and only knew how to hide here like a coward. Compared to her maternal grandfather, who dared to go to Spirit City alone to demand an explanation, he really didn't deserve to be called "grandfather."
"Young man, as an elder, I advise you not to be so arrogant. If you were only here today in the name of the Spirit Hall, I could answer your questions. My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will not join the Spirit Hall. And that deal you mentioned from back then, it never happened. Even if it did, why should I tell you?"
Upon hearing Yu Tianshuang's words, Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly, then spoke in Lengleng tone, glancing arrogantly at Yu Tianshuang and her group before continuing:
"Besides, what do you think this place is? This is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects Beast Martial Soul! Has the Spirit Hall become a bit too arrogant these past few years? They still want us to join the Spirit Hall? That's just wishful thinking!"
After speaking, Yu Yuanzhen stood up, and a terrifying Soul Power suddenly erupted from his tall and burly body, heading towards Yu Tianshuang and the other three.
"So powerful... This old thing, his Soul Power Level is at least 96..."
Ling Yuan Douluo and She Long felt Yu Yuanzhen's oppressive aura and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. It seemed that after so many years, this old fellow's strength had improved even more...
"Sitting upright amidst the frosty sky!"
So what if he's level 96? He's seen far more powerful people than him. Faced with the pressure released by Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianshuang simply raised his hand and summoned the Frost Dragon Martial Soul, instantly dispersing the level 96 Soul Power pressure.
"Not bad, not bad. I heard Tian Heng say that your Martial Soul, like that child Erlong's, is mutated. Judging from the degree of your Dragon Transformation, it's really quite impressive. Yu Tianshuang, I'll give you a chance. Leave the Spirit Hall, and I'll tell you everything you want to know. Moreover, I'll also allow your father to be reinstated into the family genealogy."
In truth, Yu Yuanzhen understood that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was now facing a generational gap. Apart from himself, the older generation had no other experts, and the middle generation was even more depleted of talent. Yu Xiaoruan, who originally had the best chance of becoming Titled Douluo, had also been drawn into the vortex of the Lower Three Sects, giving up her promising future for that woman. Among the younger generation, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin were considered among the best, but they had not yet matured. However, Yu Tianshuang was different.
Ever since the Soul Master Tournament, when he learned that Yu Xiaoruan's son was still alive, he had been paying close attention to Yu Tianshuang. From his initial emergence in the Soul Master Tournament to his powerful defeat of Tang San in the Clear Sky True Body, and then to the news that came from Spirit City not long ago that he was able to defeat Thunder Rhino Douluo with the cultivation of Soul Emperor, and it was said that he defeated him while that Old Rhino was in the state of having fully charged his Ninth Soul Skill, he was willing to make such a big concession. As long as he could return to the family and uphold the family's banner in the future, he would have found a chance for the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Impossible! I will not leave the Spirit Hall, Sect Master Yu! I truly do not know what gives you the right to challenge the Spirit Hall. I am an elder of the Spirit Hall, representing the Spirit Hall. Since you have already brought this up, then I tell you, you now have only two choices: submit!"
After saying that, Yu Tianshuang rushed towards Yu Yuanzhen in an instant, unleashing two first-level Frost Raging Dragon Strike Dragon Transformation Soul Skill in one hand and the other Dragon Claw. Huo Wu and the other two were also very frustrated when they saw that Yu Tianshuang was so powerful and chose to take action directly. They had long been unable to hold back because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was so powerful.
"Seventh Soul Skill: Martial Soul Avatar! Seventh Soul Skill: Tool Soul True Body! Eighth Soul Skill: Boiling Blood! Fifth Soul Skill: Thunderous Explosive Shattering Kill! Fifth Soul Skill: Blazing Flame Clone! Sixth Soul Skill: Blazing Flame Fire God Ring!"
As Titled Douluo whose physical body was extremely powerful after Dragon Transformation, the terrifying power and shockwave that erupted when Yu Tianshuang clashed with him directly shook the spacious hall beyond recognition. Furthermore, the Martial Soul Avatar unleashed by the two Titled Douluo, Ling Yuan and Snake Lance, completely destroyed the shattered hall.
"Playing with lightning in front of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? I think you really don't know your own limitations!"
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but re-examine Yu Tianshuang. As a level 96 Titled Douluo, members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could fully Dragon Transformation at level 70. Not only had he fully Dragon Transformation, but when he broke through to level 96, his Martial Soul evolved, gaining an extra dragon scale after Dragon Transformation, making him even more terrifying. However, this Yu Tianshuang, who was only Soul Emperor, had a physical strength that was only slightly weaker than his, which made him very unbelievable.
After sending Yu Tianshuang flying, Yu Yuanzhen shattered Huo Wu's Sixth Soul Skill, which was a single-target control skill, with just his physical strength. Then, with a sudden burst of power, he smashed She Long's Thunderous Might attack, grabbed She Long had transformed into a giant Snake Lance, and threw him away.
"So strong..."
The battle was brief, but Yu Tianshuang was utterly shocked. No one he had ever seen possessed a physical strength stronger than his own, yet this old patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was even stronger. This astonished him greatly. He had spent years tempering his body with the Big Dipper Seven Origins Purple Seal within him, and during the Soul Master Tournament, he had been imprinted with the Crimson and Scarlet and Blue Twin Dragon Shadows. Yet, even so, he had lost in a physical confrontation. In mid-air, Yu Tianshuang watched as he almost instantly dissolved the encirclement, and couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying strength of the level 96 number one Beast Martial Soul on the continent.
"Um?"
Yu Yuanzhen's attention was originally focused on Yu Tianshuang and the two Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall, but he suddenly felt an extremely scorching temperature in front of him. He looked at the inconspicuous woman in red and his eyes widened immediately. This was... the Ultimate Fire... No, he couldn't let her finish charging up.
"Get out of here!"
Everyone present could see through Yu Yuanzhen's intentions. The two fastest, Yu Tianshuang and Ling Yuan Douluo, attacked from the left and right, but they were easily swatted away by him with a casual strike.
"Senior She Long!"
Feeling the immense force coming from his chest and being thrown backward at top speed, Yu Tianshuang, Dragon Transformation, plowed two deep furrows in the ground with his legs and shouted as he watched Yu Yuanzhen Huo Wu.
"This kid, so that's why I brought this little girl along. Looks like that damned transvestite Yue Guan really got roasted pretty badly back then..."
Without Yu Tianshuang needing to remind him, She Long, who was thrown out by Yu Yuanzhen's immense force, immediately sensed the extremely hot temperature and dangerous aura of Huo Wu's Soul Skill.
