Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 140: The Soul Duel Begins

Tai Long scratched his head with a silly grin, feeling proud as he noticed Gu Yuena's approving gaze.

This feeling was even better than when he had managed to knock his father, Tai Nuo, down.

The Power Clan was straightforward—or, one could say, their heads were filled with muscle. They didn't like to think too much. Once they recognized a master, they would serve with unwavering loyalty, even unto death.

Otherwise, why would Tang Hao have been able to put the Power Clan through so much suffering?

Yet Titan still called Tang Hao his master. He would rather resent the Clear Sky Sect than speak a single bad word about Tang Hao.

This was what true loyalty was!

And now, Tai Long felt the same deep loyalty toward Dan Heng and Gu Yuena.

"Little orangutan, you did a good job, follow me in the future."

Tai Long immediately puffed out his chest and responded loudly, "Thank you, Mistress!"

Dan Heng's mouth twitched slightly. Seeing Tai Long like this, he had a bad feeling.

But since it was Gu Yuena's decision, he couldn't refute it now—he could only stay silent.

Besides, he trusted Gu Yuena to have a sense of propriety. She wouldn't let these relationships disrupt their peaceful life.

Thinking this way, Dan Heng's tolerance for Gu Yuena grew even greater.

Gu Yuena noticed the change as well. She wrapped her arms around Dan Heng's neck, her eyes burning with passion, and even her breathing became slightly hurried.

Tai Long immediately turned away, not daring to interrupt his master and mistress in their moment.

Gu Yuena looked at Tai Long approvingly. He had at least more awareness than Zi Ji.

If she trained him well, he could help share some responsibilities.

She lowered her head and kissed Dan Heng's cheek. Not satisfied, her moist lips went back to the same spot again.

Dan Heng could only respond passively, feeling somewhat helpless.

From her appearance and temperament, no one would believe just how passionate and proactive Gu Yuena actually was.

If it weren't for the fact that even Gu Yuena couldn't escape the constraints of nature, they would probably never have a single night of rest in the entire year.

After about as long as it takes to drink a cup of tea, Gu Yuena finally pulled away, satisfied. She straightened up and left with Tai Long.

—

On the other side, Yu Luomian was practically about to explode with rage.

He never expected that, as the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he would be so humiliated by a mere married couple!

Could he endure this?

If he endured it, then he wouldn't be Yu Luomian!

Returning to the room Liu Erlong had arranged for the Blue Tyrant Battle Team, Yu Luomian forcefully pushed open the door. The door slammed into the wall with a loud BANG!

Inside, Yu Tianxin had been telling his team about his experiences.

Hearing the sound, they turned around and saw Yu Luomian's face, filled with a murderous fury.

All of them felt uneasy.

Yu Luomian's status carried true weight and intimidation!

Yu Luomian strode forward, grabbed Yu Tianxin's shoulders, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Tianxin, during the match against the Blue Tyrant Battle Team, I want you to cripple that brat named Tai Long!"

Yu Tianxin froze. The Blue Tyrant Battle Team was Liu Erlong's pride and joy.

If he actually did that, Liu Erlong would probably kill him!

"Second Grandfather..."

Yu Luomian's eyes were bloodshot. He stared intensely at Yu Tianxin and leaned in even closer.

"Don't disappoint me. You must cripple Tai Long. Understood?"

A chill ran through Yu Tianxin's body, and he even trembled slightly.

Yu Luomian's current state was terrifying.

He was like a caged beast, desperate to tear everything apart.

"I... I understand."

Yu Tianxin replied with a trembling voice.

Yu Luomian smiled in satisfaction, patted Yu Tianxin's shoulder, and nodded. "That's more like it. That's my good grandson!"

Then, Yu Luomian turned his gaze toward the rest of the Thunderclap Battle Team.

A sinister smile stretched across his face, appearing particularly eerie against his enraged expression.

"You all must work hard as well. Cripple as many of their members as you can, understood?"

Yu Luomian thought to himself, I'll make sure Gu Yuena learns a lesson!

So what if you're a top teacher in the genius class? I'll make sure all your students are ruined!

Of course, he wouldn't stop there.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be Yu Luomian.

Since he had set his sights on Gu Yuena and she had no real background, he would use any means necessary to get her!

With these thoughts, Yu Luomian left the room.

The members of the Thunderclap Battle Team finally breathed a sigh of relief after he was gone.

One of the young men chuckled, "Captain, your grandfather is way too scary. I seriously thought he was going to eat us alive!"

"Right? Captain, what should we do? If we don't follow his orders, we might not even make it back to Thunderclap Academy. He is the vice principal, after all."

"No matter how you look at it, crippling someone's main team members in a sparring match is going too far."

"..."

Everyone voiced their concerns, struggling with the situation.

Yu Tianxin rubbed his temples. The noisy chatter made his head ache. With a dark expression, he said:

"Just wait for my instructions..."

Leaving those words behind, he walked away.

----

The idea of crippling the Blue Tyrant Battle Team was simply too shocking.

Yu Tianxin could not possibly agree to it. While the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was one of the Upper Three Sects and held a prestigious position, they were not villains.

However, since this was an order from Yu Luomian, it was not easy for him to oppose it either.

Thus, he went to find Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong was in Gu Yuena's office, chatting with her, curious about the source of Gu Yuena's confidence.

"Knock, knock, knock...!"

Yu Tianxin knocked on the door and entered. Upon seeing Gu Yuena, he immediately lowered his head. Suddenly, he understood why Yu Luomian had been so furious.

"Tianxin, why are you here? Did he start causing trouble again?"

Liu Erlong asked with a grin.

From her mouth, one could never expect to hear a single good word about Yu Luomian.

Back when her mother passed away, she had been asked to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to recognize her ancestry, but she couldn't be bothered, knowing exactly what kind of person Yu Luomian was.

Later, when Yu Luomian sabotaged her relationship with Yu Xiaogang, their ties were completely severed.

Yu Tianxin hesitated for a moment before slowly explaining, "It's like this..."

After hearing him out, Liu Erlong's expression turned pitch black.

She practically spat out her words through clenched teeth:

"That old bastard! I'm going to skin him alive! How dare he bully me?"

Cursing loudly, Liu Erlong immediately got up, ready to confront Yu Luomian.

Gu Yuena, however, stopped her and smiled. "There's no need for that. Besides, he's not targeting you—he's targeting me and Tai Long."

Gu Yuena then recounted the whole sequence of events.

A faint smile played on her lips, but it was cold, not truly a smile at all—more like she was calculating how to deal with Yu Luomian.

Liu Erlong grasped Gu Yuena's delicate hand, her expression apologetic."Teacher Gu, I... you... sigh! This has nothing to do with you at all. That old bastard is entirely at fault!"

"He's always been such a scumbag! Don't worry, I won't let him harm you!"

After speaking, Liu Erlong suddenly remembered that Gu Yuena's soul power surpassed her own, meaning she was naturally also above Yu Luomian.

If Yu Luomian really tried anything, he would undoubtedly suffer a major loss!

In reality, by stopping Yu Luomian, she was actually saving him.

"That old bastard!" Liu Erlong cursed again in frustration.

"Yu Tianxin, just follow his orders." Gu Yuena said calmly. "Don't worry, the ones who will win will definitely be the Blue Tyrant Battle Team. Instead, you all should be careful and protect yourselves."

Yu Tianxin looked at Gu Yuena in surprise, unable to understand why she was so composed.

Liu Erlong took a deep breath, patted her chest, and said, "Alright then. Since Teacher Gu said so, just do as he asks. Afterward, I'll write to my uncle and have that disgraceful old bastard taken back! Otherwise, my own face will be lost!"

Yu Tianxin nodded and turned to leave.

After the door closed, Liu Erlong turned around and held Gu Yuena's hand awkwardly. "Teacher Gu, that old bastard is still my father, but don't worry, I won't let him harm a single hair on your head!"

Gu Yuena chuckled lightly, saying nothing.

She could hear the deeper meaning in Liu Erlong's words—not only was she making a promise, but she was also subtly pleading for Gu Yuena to spare Yu Luomian.

But she, the mighty Silver Dragon King, was no saint.

For now, Yu Luomian had not disgusted her to an unbearable degree.

However, if he truly dared to take action—

Even if her husband chose to spare him, she absolutely would not!

That evening, Dan Heng and his wife returned home.

"Xue Qinghe" visited once again, bringing an entire roasted lamb for Dan Heng to prepare.

At the dinner table, she once more began enthusiastically praising Dan Heng.

This time, it was about the imperial examination system. The Heaven Dou Empire had already prepared for the first official imperial exam. Since it was in its infancy, there would only be three rounds.

This was meant to select talented individuals for the nation. As long as they recruited people, it would be a success.

Furthermore, it would serve as a trial run for the newly empowered minor nobles under the Enfeoffment Edict.

If the system proved effective in the future, it could be fully implemented across the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

At that time, the nobility would no longer dominate the court.

Commoners would finally have a place in the government!

"...Dan Heng, you truly have an extraordinary mind!"

"Xue Qinghe" concluded, gazing at Dan Heng with deep gratitude and admiration.

Dan Heng had long since become immune to her flattery and simply ate his meal in silence.

Bi Ji, however, was listening with rapt attention. She was growing more and more impressed with her brother-in-law, finding it impossible to believe Zi Ji's previous complaints.

"The Enfeoffment Edict, the imperial examination system... They all sound so complex and unimaginable..."

Bi Ji murmured, tapping her forehead. With her brain, she felt she could never come up with such grand policies even in a lifetime.

Zi Ji rolled her eyes and sneered, "Bi Ji, you're turning into a bootlicker. Are you trying to act cute in front of Xue Qinghe so she'll take you away?"

"Huh?" Bi Ji blinked at Zi Ji, stunned.

Gu Yuena rapped her chopsticks against Zi Ji's head. "If you have nothing useful to say, keep quiet."

This wretched woman was always trying to push Bi Ji away!

"Xue Qinghe" chuckled and shook her head. "Bi Ji is talented and intelligent. If she followed me, she would only be held back."

"Tch." Zi Ji scoffed.

She rubbed her head, dodging Gu Yuena's gaze, then muttered, "Stop praising my brother-in-law already! My sister is even more amazing. She's a teacher at Blue Tyrant Academy now! That's impressive, isn't it?"

"Xue Qinghe" nodded slightly, intrigued."I heard that the Blue Tyrant Battle Team is going to spar with the Thunderclap Battle Team and that other soul master academies were also invited?"

"Are you the instructor for the Blue Tyrant Battle Team?"

Gu Yuena nodded and smiled lightly. "I was just appointed a few days ago."

"Xue Qinghe" immediately said, "Then I must go watch. I believe that under your guidance, the Blue Tyrant Battle Team will surely perform even better."

Zi Ji snorted, "Of course!"

Tonight, she refused to believe there was anyone more formidable than her Lord!

The next day.

Inside the library, Dan Heng was reading.

He had nearly finished all of Poison Douluo's collected books, yet he still had not found a way to cure him.

Of course, that did not mean he had gained nothing.

At this point, Dan Heng was undoubtedly the greatest alchemist on the Douluo Continent—an unrivaled medical genius!

Ning Fengzhi arrived once again. As usual, he picked up a book and read beside Dan Heng.

For some reason, being near Dan Heng helped him settle his mind.

Once Dan Heng finished reading, Ning Fengzhi spoke up.

"Dan Heng, I heard that your wife's Blue Tyrant Battle Team is going up against the Thunderclap Battle Team today. Why don't we go take a look?"

Dan Heng was about to decline but paused. Gu Yuena seemed to genuinely want him to be there.

After all, she had put effort into training the Blue Tyrant Battle Team.

"Alright."

In the soul battle arena, aside from the higher-ups of both teams, the only outsider present was "Xue Qinghe."

When Dan Heng and Ning Fengzhi arrived together, "Xue Qinghe" had a brief unnatural flicker in her eyes before casually greeting them.

Dan Heng and Ning Fengzhi then split up, with Ning Fengzhi joining "Xue Qinghe."

Dan Heng, merely a librarian, preferred not to associate too closely with Ning Fengzhi in public.

Sitting in the corner, he was immediately spotted by Gu Yuena, whose stunning face lit up with a delighted smile.

After giving a few final instructions and letting the Blue Tyrant Battle Team enter the arena, she walked over to Dan Heng.

Yu Luomian snorted coldly at her retreating figure.

Sooner or later, that woman would be his!

For now, however, the Thunderclap Battle Team would utterly crush the Blue Tyrant Battle Team, satisfying his grudge!

Ning Fengzhi sat beside "Xue Qinghe." As master and disciple, they shared a close relationship.

"Qinghe, who do you think will win this match?"

"Xue Qinghe" analyzed, "Theoretically speaking, the Thunderclap Team has more abundant resources, their students have greater innate talent, and their soul power surpasses that of the Blue Tyrant Team. I don't see any possibility of the Lanba Team winning."

At the same time, "Xue Qinghe" had to pretend not to recognize Gu Yuena in front of Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and nodded. "Yes, looking at it overall, the Blue Tyrant Team has no advantages at all. However, I have a strange feeling that the winner of this match will be the Blue Tyrant Team."

"Xue Qinghe" looked at Ning Fengzhi in surprise. "Teacher, why do you think that?"

"Just a hunch."

Ning Fengzhi left it at that, not explaining further.

At that moment, the battle in the arena began.

"Boom!!!"

On the Thunderclap Team's side, all seven members were lightning-attribute soul masters. Though their martial souls varied, arcs of electricity flickered around each of them.

Almost every member had reached the Soul Elder level, with optimal soul ring configurations of yellow, yellow, and purple.

At the same time, the Thunderclap Team launched an attack.

A water-attribute soul master suddenly unleashed a massive spray of liquid toward the Blue Tyrant Team.

There was no way to dodge it—everyone on the Blue Tyrant Team was splashed.

Simultaneously, the ground became slick and wet.

This was precisely their strategy. Water conducts electricity, and while lightning-attribute soul masters were not afraid of their own electricity, they were not entirely immune to external electric shocks!
