Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death

As Lu Yu listened to these discussions, his brows gradually furrowed.

He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and his gaze darkened.

Tang San asked in a low voice, "Brother Yu, what do you think? This year's opponents all seem formidable."

"really."

Lu Yu put down his teacup and said in a low voice, "The True Black Dragon has extremely strong explosive power. If Dai Weisi really obtained the Divine Martial Soul inheritance, he probably has so many trump cards that it's impossible to defend against them."

Yu Chen's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul is solid and reliable, and He Zhiyun's teamwork is almost flawless... Although our Shrek team is strong, our chances of winning this time are probably less than 50%.

"Fifty percent?"

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened. "Brother Yu, aren't you being too conservative? We have you, Tang San, and Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, what are we afraid of?"

"What we fear is not the strength of our opponents, but our own weaknesses."

Lu Yu sighed, "Although our team has good teamwork, our individual styles are too distinct, making us easy targets."

Especially Devas, whose royal resources are unfathomable. If he possesses a divine martial soul inheritance, I'm not even confident of defeating him in a one-on-one fight.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

Ning Rongrong frowned and said, "Then what should we do? We can't just admit defeat before we've even started, can we?"

"Of course we won't admit defeat."

A sharp glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. "The stronger the opponent, the more vigilant we need to be."

After returning, we will intensify our training and develop strategies for each opponent.

Especially Davies, we must figure out his trump card!

"Correct!"

Dai Mubai slammed his hand on the table, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "I refuse to believe that my older brother can be that strong! Brother Yu, you tell us how to fight, and we'll do it!"

Lu Yu nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "After we get back, I will discuss with the master and readjust the tactics."

Right now, let's help Wang Sheng resolve his 'major life event' first.

Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere finally eased.

Wang Sheng scratched his head and chuckled, "Brother Yu, you're the most righteous one! Let's go, let's go to the escort agency right now!"

The escort agency in the south of the city was bustling with people, its escort flags fluttering in the wind, and the stone lions at the entrance stood majestically.

Lu Yu and his group followed Wang Sheng and saw a woman standing in front of the security agency, directing several bodyguards to move goods.

She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and slender, with long legs that were particularly eye-catching under her tight-fitting clothes. Her waist was slender yet powerful, and the curves of her chest were even more striking, exuding a hint of fiery charm.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, with a touch of heroism in her brows and eyes. Her gaze was clear yet seemed to hold a fierce fire within, making one's heart skip a beat with every glance.

"It's her!"

Wang Sheng pointed at the woman in a low voice, his tone tinged with excitement, "Brother Yu, what do you think?"

Lu Yu squinted and examined her for a moment, then nodded and said, "Not bad, she is indeed a beauty."

Her fiery temperament combined with her clear eyes suggests a straightforward and unpretentious personality.

"You have good taste."

Wang Sheng was a little embarrassed by the praise and scratched his head, saying, "Then... Brother Yu, what do you think I should do?"

"Go over and say hello first, and see how she reacts."

Lu Yu said in a low voice, "Don't rush to confess your feelings, get to know me first."

Remember to be sincere; don't let her think you're frivolous.

"Row!"

Wang Sheng took a deep breath and patted his chest. "Brother Yu, I'll listen to you!"

Just then, the woman seemed to notice their gazes, and suddenly turned her head, her eyes sweeping over like knives, meeting Lu Yu's gaze directly.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and she snapped, "It's you again, you scoundrel! You bumped into me yesterday, and now you dare bring people to stare at me?!"

Wang Sheng was taken aback, then quickly waved his hands: "Misunderstanding! Miss, it's really a misunderstanding! I didn't mean to yesterday, I just wasn't paying attention while walking—"

"Still quibbling!"

The woman snorted coldly, took a step forward, and exuded an imposing aura. "Your eyes seem to see right through me! You lecherous scoundrel, you dare to come here today? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

The bodyguards and passersby gathered around at the sound, pointing and whispering among themselves.

Seeing this, Oscar muttered to himself, "This is bad, Brother Yu, should we retreat first?"

"Why retreat?"

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes at him, her tone slightly teasing, "Oscar, you single dog, don't cause trouble! Brother Yu has a plan!"

Lu Yu ignored the two of them, patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, and whispered, "Don't panic, go up and explain clearly."

Remember to be sincere, apologize first, and then talk things over.

Don't mention anything she likes; let her calm down first.

Wang Sheng gritted his teeth, steeled himself, stepped forward, and cupped his hands, saying, "Miss, yesterday was truly a misunderstanding! My name is Wang Sheng, and I'm a student at Shrek Academy. I'm definitely not some lecher! I accidentally bumped into you yesterday, and I'm here to apologize!"

The woman sneered, sizing up Wang Sheng with disdain: "Apologize? All that talk, who knows what you're really thinking?!"

"I……"

Wang Sheng wanted to explain, but then he saw the woman suddenly raise her leg and kick him! The kick was fast and fierce, carrying a bit of soul power. Wang Sheng was caught off guard and was kicked three meters away, falling to the ground and wincing in pain.

"Ouch!"

Oscar couldn't help but burst out laughing, quickly covering his mouth. "Wang Sheng, your plan... has failed before it even started?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "This girl has quite the temper! Wang Sheng, you'd better put in some real effort this time!"

Wang Sheng rubbed his back and got up, saying with a wry smile, "Brother Yu, is it... no chance for me?"

"No chance?"

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, "This girl has a fiery temper, but that doesn't mean she has no chance."

Go back and think carefully about how to apologize, and try again another day.

Remember, sincerity is the most important thing!

The crowd burst into laughter and escorted Wang Sheng away from the escort agency. The laughter and chatter in the teahouse lingered for a long time.

As dusk fell, the afterglow of the setting sun cast long shadows on the official road.

The Shrek Academy students were traveling along the wide road, the wheels rolling, the sound of horses' hooves mingling with the wind, conveying a sense of weariness and anticipation from their journey.

In the group, Wang Sheng rode a chestnut horse, his eyes frequently glancing into the distance, as if searching for something.

He looked somewhat nervous, his fingers unconsciously stroking the reins, clearly preoccupied.

"Wang Sheng, you seem so distracted. Are you thinking about that girl in the tight-fitting outfit again?"

Dai Mubai, mounted on his horse, glanced at him sideways, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Wang Sheng blushed, scratched his head, and stammered, "No... I was just... just looking at the scenery."

"Scenery? Haha, the scenery along this official road isn't as beautiful as that lady you met last time." Oscar leaned in, winking and teasing, "Seriously, you haven't sorted out what happened when you offended her last time, have you? Want us brothers to give you some advice?"

Wang Sheng quickly waved his hand, his embarrassment deepening: "No, don't mention it! I've already apologized to her as Lu Yu instructed."

"Oh? You apologized?"

Riding on another horse, Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, her tone tinged with curiosity, "Tell me quickly, what terrible idea did Lu Yu give you? Did that woman beat you up?"

Wang Sheng gave a wry smile, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards Lu Yu at the front of the group.

Lu Yu and Ning Rongrong walked side by side, whispering to each other. Ning Rongrong occasionally covered her mouth and giggled, looking charming.

Lu Yu looked relaxed, occasionally glancing at Ning Rongrong with a teasing smile in his eyes.

"Lu Yu taught me to apologize sincerely first, and then say some nice things."

Wang Sheng lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard by the person in front of him, "I did as I was told, and that lady's anger subsided a bit, but she was still quite cold and said she didn't want to see me again."

"Tsk tsk, this is not good."

Oscar shook his head and sighed with feigned maturity, "It seems you still have a long way to go in your pursuit."

"but……"

Wang Sheng paused, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, "I told her I wanted to be friends. After she heard that I was a member of Thanos's team, her attitude improved a bit, and she even wished our Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament a great success."

"Hey, isn't this pretty good progress!"

Dai Mubai patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder and grinned, "Looks like they don't have such a bad impression of you, at least they don't see you as an enemy."

Wang Sheng shook his head with a wry smile, turned to Lu Yu, and called out, "Lu Yu! Come here quickly, I have something to tell you!"

Hearing the shout, Lu Yu turned around and glanced at Wang Sheng. He smiled and said something to Ning Rongrong. Ning Rongrong glared at him, her cheeks slightly red, and gently pushed him.

Lu Yu laughed heartily, patted his horse's back, and rode up to Wang Sheng's side.

"What's wrong, Wang Sheng? You look so worried. Did that lady scold you again?"

Lu Yu asked with a smile, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing.

Wang Sheng glared at him irritably and said in a low voice, "Don't make fun of me! I apologized as you taught me, and it had some effect, but she still doesn't really pay attention to me."

Before leaving, she said she had a mission to complete and didn't have time to chat.

Do you think she doesn't want to talk to me at all?

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, brother."

Since they wish you good luck in the competition, it means they have a good impression of you.

She probably really has a mission and is busy.

Don't be too anxious, take your time, I'll try to think of another way for you.

"Really?"

Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a lifeline. "Lu Yu, you have to help me! I feel like you have experience in this area."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong rode over on her horse, snorted, and said in a sour tone, "Lu Yu, when did you become an expert at chasing girls? Tell me, who else have you given advice to?"

Lu Yu was taken aback, turned to look at Ning Rongrong, and saw that her eyes were smiling, but with a hint of teasing. He immediately laughed: "Rongrong, you're wronging me."

I was just helping Wang Sheng out of pity. Besides, I have no experience whatsoever; I'm just learning as I go.

"Hmph, learning something new and then putting it into practice?"

Ning Rongrong snorted and glanced at him sideways, "I think you're exceptionally talented, aren't you? You've even taught a blockhead like Wang Sheng to behave quite well."

Wang Sheng blushed even more at her words and quickly waved his hand, "Sister Rongrong, please don't make fun of me! I just... I had no choice."

Lu Yu laughed and patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, brother, I'll definitely help you win this lady's heart! But you have to listen to me, take it slow, don't rush."

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and muttered, "Lu Yu, don't you dare corrupt Wang Sheng."

If he learns your sweet talk and gets into trouble, I'm not going to clean up his mess.

Lu Yu spread his hands, feigning grievance: "Rongrong, you've really hurt my feelings."

Was that sweet talk? That was sincerity!

"sincere?"

Ning Rongrong chuckled, but her cheeks flushed involuntarily. She glared at him and said, "Stop with the act. Let's go. Don't keep Dean Flander waiting."

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, then rode back to Ning Rongrong's side. He whispered something to her, and Ning Rongrong, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, pinched his arm, which made Lu Yu exclaim exaggeratedly, causing Oscar and the others around them to burst into laughter.

Three days later, the Shrek Academy team, led by Flander and Zhao Wuji, finally arrived near the Royal Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The long journey had left everyone somewhat exhausted. Flander waved his hand and decided to rest for the night at a nearby inn before officially entering the Royal Academy the next day.

Outside the post station, everyone was busy unloading their luggage, feeding the horses and watering them. The air was filled with dust and the smell of horses.

Oscar was helping to move the luggage when his eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed to a镖局 (armed escort agency) carriage not far away and exclaimed, "Wang Sheng, look! Isn't that your sister's carriage?"

Wang Sheng looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a familiar caravan parked next to the post station, with the woman in tight-fitting clothes standing beside it.

She was dressed in a light blue outfit, with a short sword at her waist, looking heroic and capable.

At that moment, she was speaking in a low voice to a burly middle-aged man beside her, her expression serious.

"is her!"

Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up. He turned to look at Lu Yu and asked, "Lu Yu, shall I go say hello?"

Lu Yu was helping Ning Rongrong pack her bags when he heard this. He looked up, smiled, and nodded: "Go ahead, but remember not to be too reckless."

"Talk to her for a bit, try to get a feel for her."

Wang Sheng took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and mustered his courage to walk towards the woman.

Hearing footsteps, the woman looked up and saw Wang Sheng. She frowned slightly, but quickly regained her composure.

"This...sister, we meet again!"

Wang Sheng forced a smile, trying to make his tone sound natural, "I haven't properly thanked you for forgiving me about what happened last time."

The woman glanced at him indifferently, her voice cold: "There's no need to bring up what happened last time."

"You're from Shrek Academy, right? What are you doing in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Wang Sheng scratched his head and chuckled, "We're here to exchange ideas with the Royal Academy and also to prepare for the Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, and she nodded: "I see."

The Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is no easy feat. Good luck to you all.

She paused, as if hesitating, before saying, "My name is Ma Yunlu."

"Ma Yunlu!"

Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "My name is Wang Sheng! Sister Ma, are you from the escort agency? What kind of goods are you escorting this time?"

Just as Ma Yunlu was about to speak, the burly middle-aged man next to him frowned and interrupted, "Yunlu, say less, lest the news leak out."

He gave Wang Sheng a sharp look, his gaze carrying a hint of warning. (End of Chapter)
