Douluo Continent: Revitalizing the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan

Chapter 208 Shi Nian sets his sights on Tang 3

With a wave of his hand, Yu Tianyun caused the Ruyi Treasure Pouch at Dugu Bo's waist to disappear without anyone noticing.

Then, Yu Tianyun asked, "Grandpa, how many days have passed?"

"Twenty-four days have passed," Dugu Bo said without looking up, his hands still stroking Yu Tianyun's armor. The aura emanating from the armor made him feel very comfortable, and it felt very high-quality to the touch, making him reluctant to put it down.

"Twenty-four days? That means the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies has been underway for fourteen days. It's time to go back."

Yu Tianyun pondered for a moment, then forcibly broke free from Dugu Bo's poisonous claws, picked up the soul tool that had been thrown on the ground, and put the clothes that had been thrown on the ground earlier into the soul tool.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving now."

Without waiting for Dugu Bo's response, Yu Tianyun stomped his left foot on the ground and shot out like an arrow.

A deafening roar was heard, but the ground where he stepped remained unchanged, without any dent forming due to the force exerted.

But an invisible shockwave surged through the air, and some barely perceptible black threads flashed by.

Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, as if he were bewildered in the wind. His gaze clearly caught the black thread, and he instantly recognized it as a spatial rift.

"What level of power and control does that require?"

"Hey? You brat, wait for me!"

Dugu Bo had no time to sigh, because Yu Tianyun had already disappeared into the horizon, leaving only a series of sonic booms.

Immediately, he took to the air and headed towards Tiandou City.

He had originally planned to watch his granddaughter's match, but because he was worried about Yu Tianyun, he stayed here.

Now that Yu Tianyun has left, there is no need for him to stay.

……

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Huyanli's mountain-like body was forcibly embedded in the hard rock ground.

On the arena, a huge crater suddenly appeared, and cracks spread from the center of this crater to every corner of the arena in an instant.

Hu Yanli was covered in blood, with lacerations all over his body, and looked extremely miserable.

However, there's nothing we can do about it. The Elephant Armor Academy team has strong defenses, so if we can't just knock them out and finish them off easily, we can only let them bleed more.

"Still not admitting defeat?" Dugu Yan asked mockingly, her left foot slamming heavily on Hu Yanli's shoulder.

"I surrender." Hu Yanli said with difficulty. He was not sure if his team could last even a minute, but he was sure that if they had continued, he would probably have been killed.

His injuries were already very serious. If he continued to resist, he would suffer even more serious injuries, perhaps so serious that he would not have a chance to compete for a spot in the qualifying rounds. Therefore, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan slowly withdrew her foot and looked at the referee.

"Round 13, eighth preliminary match, Blue Tyrant Academy defeats Elephant Academy." The referee was stunned for five or six seconds before he remembered to announce the result.

This match was even more one-sided than the one between Blue Tyrant Academy and Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

The Elephant Armor Academy team, known for its defense, couldn't even last a minute against the Blue Tyrant Academy team. They were completely suppressed and had no chance to fight back.

It's truly shocking.

However, this was also the result of Blue Tyrant Academy mobilizing all its members, so Elephant Armor Academy's defeat was not unjustified.

"Awooooo!"

"Blue Tyrant Academy! Blue Tyrant Academy!"

"Goddess stepping on..."

"Fuck you!"

As the referee's voice faded, an unprecedented roar of cheers erupted from the stands, including from the small number of supporters of the Xiangjia Academy.

In the end, the seven girls from the Blue Tyrant Academy team left the stage amidst cheers and applause from the audience.

In the VIP section, Hu Yanzhen, seeing his grandson severely injured, was ashen-faced, his fists clenched tightly, and he slammed his fist against the armrest of his seat.

He was filled with rage, especially when he saw his grandson being trampled underfoot by a woman, powerless to resist. His large, bell-like eyes seemed to spit fire.

This is a disgrace, a tremendous disgrace, especially since it happened in front of so many people.

How could he, as one of the four lower sects, ever hold his head high again?

But when he saw Yu Yuanzhen not far away, he had to forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.

Dugu Bo was not afraid of Hu Yanzhen. In his eyes, even the weakest titled Douluo, who was only level 91, could not do anything to him.

However, Yu Yuanzhen, a level 95 Title Douluo, was not someone he could easily mess with. (The true soul power levels of Dugu Bo and Yu Yuanzhen were not revealed.)

Salas, who was standing next to Huyan Zhen, also looked unwell, but that was all.

What else can he do? It's not his Spirit Hall that's losing face, and it's not his grandson who's getting beaten up, so why is he in such a hurry?

While the two of them were in a bad mood, the atmosphere on the other side was much more pleasant.

Emperor Xueye smiled and said, "Sect Master Yu, your grandson is truly blessed. Each of your granddaughters-in-law is exceptionally talented."

"Your Majesty flatters me," Yu Yuanzhen said, stroking his beard and laughing.

He was quite pleased with the praise from the Snow Night Emperor, but he still humbly replied, "My good-for-nothing grandson has attracted so many fine girls; I feel ashamed!"

Is this humility? This is blatant boasting.

Salas and Huyan Zhen were even more displeased after hearing this.

Salas could still hold back, but Huyan Zhen couldn't, and he was so angry that he took several deep breaths.

This was like rubbing salt into his wounds.

The people of the Elephant Armor Sect were already somewhat rugged-looking due to their martial spirits, making it difficult for them to find wives. Now, hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, he didn't want to stay there for another second. He left after saying, "I have other things to do."

Even Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo on the other side were thinking to themselves, "You old guy, you can feel guilty? You'd probably be laughing in your sleep."

Inside a private room at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Tang San's face was extremely gloomy. The better Dugu Yan and the others performed, the more certain he became that they had taken the immortal herb.

Frustrated and angry, Tang San didn't want to stay there any longer; he wanted to vent his anger.

Tang San turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, "Teacher, I want to return to the academy early."

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback. "Aren't you going to watch the game?"

"Teacher, the battle between Blue Tyrant Academy and Elephant Armor Academy is over," Tang San said calmly. "The other five elemental academies didn't encounter each other in today's matches. They won't show their true strength against weaker teams. Instead of studying their performance after they've hidden their strength, we should strengthen ourselves."

"If my soul power level increases further, it will be easier to face them."

How can I increase my soul power faster?

Tang San's answer was definitely the union of Yin and Yang.

"You don't need to worry about my safety. The game isn't over yet, everyone is focused on the game, no one will notice me."

"Okay then." Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly. "But remember to change your clothes before you go out, and be careful on the road."

Yu Xiaogang wasn't too worried about Tang San's safety. If nothing unexpected happened, Tang Hao would be secretly protecting Tang San.

"Third Brother, I'll go back with you too," Xiao Wu said immediately.

Uh… Tang San’s lips twitched. If Xiao Wu was with him, how could he relieve his pent-up desire?

Although Xiao Wu had told him she didn't mind him going to that kind of place, it seemed rather impulsive for him to go there in broad daylight.

But looking at Xiao Wu's pitiful eyes, Tang San couldn't bear to refuse her.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang San said, "Alright."

Xiao Wu was immediately delighted. She had long noticed that Tang San had been acting strangely lately, always disappearing without a trace, which was why she wanted to find out what was going on.

Soon, the two changed out of their Tian Dou Royal Academy team uniforms and quietly left the team.

"Blue Tyrant Academy is really strong, they even have a Soul Emperor." In the Canghui Academy's viewing area, all the students had solemn expressions.

Shi Nian's eyes flickered as she glanced at the group of girls from Blue Tyrant Academy who were walking into the passage.

Over the past few days, he had not found an opportunity to assassinate them. Now, Dugu Yan had revealed her Soul Emperor cultivation level, which made him even more troubled.

His Remnant Dream Martial Soul is very effective at crushing weaker opponents, but it is difficult to inflict significant damage on opponents whose levels are not much different from his own; at most, it can only trap the opponent.

Just then, Shi Nian, who had been frowning, suddenly brightened up.

"When you encounter Blue Tyrant Academy again, just admit defeat."

After saying those words, he disappeared from the sight of the students of Canghui Academy.

After changing their clothes, Tang San and Xiao Wu quietly slipped out of the Great Soul Arena.

At this time, apart from the audience who couldn't buy tickets and the scalpers, there weren't many people outside the Grand Arena, so it was relatively quiet.

After leaving the Great Soul Arena, Tang San and Xiao Wu hurried towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

At this moment, Tang San was thinking about how to slip away from Xiao Wu after returning to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and then head to that place that captivated him.

It was morning, and the sun wasn't scorching; it felt warm against his skin. Perhaps it was the plant-based martial spirit's love of sunlight, but Tang San really enjoyed basking in it, walking and thinking at the same time. His whole body felt relaxed, and even his desire to vent had lessened slightly, but only slightly, not enough to deter him from his craving.

As Tang San walked, his pace suddenly slowed down; he sensed something was wrong.

Even though they had already left the city gate and the mountain of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was right in front of them, looking up, it seemed that there was still a short distance to go.

The sun was shining on me, but I couldn't feel any warmth. Instead, a chilling feeling came from all directions.

Without much hesitation, Tang San immediately became alert and summoned his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. He first wrapped a vine tightly around Xiao Wu's waist, then spread other vines around her. With his other hand, he took out the Zhuge Crossbow from the Twenty-Four Moon Bridge and held it in his hand.

Xiao Wu also sensed something was wrong. Without Tang San's prompting, she immediately activated her martial soul and warily looked around.

Just then, everything suddenly went quiet, and the sounds of insects and birds disappeared.

The scenery before my eyes seemed to be veiled by a thin gauze, and everything became hazy in that instant.

The next second, a figure slowly walked out from in front, gradually becoming clearer, and finally stopped more than ten meters away from Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"As expected of outstanding students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, your senses are very sharp. However, you discovered it a little too late."

The figure was Shi Nian, dressed in white. Although Tang San did not recognize Shi Nian, his heart sank deeper and deeper because Shi Nian had seven spirit rings pulsating around him.

Tang San gestured for Xiao Wu to calm down, then looked calmly at Shi Nian and said, "May I ask who you are? And what brings you to stop us here?"

"Hehehe!" Shi Nian let out a strange laugh, staring directly at Tang San. "I won't offer any guidance; you'll soon disappear from this world. However, I'll let you die knowing the truth. Remember, I am Shi Nian, an instructor at Canghui Academy!"

Tang San was taken aback. He had only had some minor grudges with Canghui Academy two years ago, but they were nothing more than that. Why make such a big fuss?

But he quickly guessed, and said coldly, "Are you trying to help Canghui Academy advance to the next round?"

Shi Nian did not answer Tang San's question again, a trace of regret appearing in his eyes, "It's a real pity that you are not a student of my Canghui Academy."

Having said that, Shi Nian fell silent, the regret in his eyes turning into a sinister ruthlessness.

Tang San acted decisively, and Zhuge Divine Crossbow aimed at Shi Nian, unleashing sixteen bolts.

The gap between the two sides was too great. With a Soul Saint fighting against two Soul Venerables, he could only rely on unexpected attacks to have a sliver of hope.

Seeing the crossbow bolt pierce Shi Nian's chest, Tang San was about to beam with joy, but his expression immediately turned extremely grim. Not a single drop of blood flowed from Shi Nian's chest; the crossbow bolt seemed to have vanished into thin air, without even a sound.

Shi Nian scoffed and began to get serious.

After a series of futile struggles, Tang San and Xiao Wu were eventually pulled into Shi Nian's illusion, and their vision changed rapidly.

"Mom?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened as she saw the figure of a young woman that she knew all too well.

The surrounding environment has transformed into an ancient forest filled with towering trees.

The young woman turned around. Her appearance was ninety percent similar to Xiao Wu's. Her face was full of sorrow. She gently instructed Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, hide well. Mom will lure them away. After Mom lures them away, you should quickly go find Daming and Erming."

"Mommy, no, I don't want to leave you!" Xiao Wu cried out, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.

The young woman ignored Xiao Wu and ran off in one direction.

Xiao Wu knew that there were three human soul masters—two men and one woman—in that direction, and they were there to capture her and her mother.

She could only clutch the comb in her arms, daring not to shout any louder, because this hard-won chance to escape was bought with her mother's life.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Wu sadly glanced in the direction her mother had left, then turned and fled into the depths of the forest. Only by finding Daming and Erming could she ensure that her mother's sacrifice would not have been in vain.

……

On the other side, a cliff appeared in Tang San's field of vision, a cliff he would never forget—Ghost's Sorrow!

"A dream? Could it be that everything that happened on Douluo Continent was just a dream?" Tang San stared blankly at the cliff in front of him, his whole being becoming dazed.

"Tang San, you are incredibly audacious to steal our sect's Xuan Tian Treasure Record! Your crime is heinous."

"Tang San, the Tang Sect raised you and taught you their skills, yet you committed such a heinous and despicable act..."

More than ten Tang Clan elders appeared one after another behind Tang San, accusing him of his evil deeds.

"Aaaaaah!" Tang San screamed repeatedly as the elders beat him until every bone in his body was broken. Finally, the elders abandoned Tang San on the edge of the cliff like a dead dog.

The excruciating pain surged from all parts of his body, so real that it caused Tang San's body to spasm and convulse continuously.

He couldn't tell whether the other world was a dream or this world was a dream.

Gradually, he felt his body growing weaker and weaker, as if his life was coming to an end, and the world in his eyes began to blur.

"Third Brother, Third Brother, save me, save me..." Suddenly, Xiao Wu's pitiful cries rang in her ears. (End of Chapter)
