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

"Well done!"

Yun Feiliang let out a low shout, his hands forming palms, his soul power condensing, attempting to counterattack with a soul skill.

However, Lu Yu's fist technique was as smooth as flowing water, with the power of his fist increasing layer by layer. He could withstand the first few punches, but by the ninth punch, the wind of the punch was like a mountain pressing down. Yun Feiliang felt his arm tremble, and a tingling sensation rushed to his shoulder. He was knocked back several feet and staggered when he landed, his face changing slightly.

"Your boxing skills..."

Yun Feiliang gritted his teeth and tried to circulate his soul power, but found that his arm was sore and numb, and he was unable to condense a soul skill for a while.

He was startled, thinking to himself, "How can this guy's physical skills be so domineering?"

Meanwhile, other battles on the field were equally intense.

Wang Sheng's figure was like an iron tower, and his punches and kicks carried the force of thunder, forcing the vice-captain of the Royal Team to retreat repeatedly.

Xiao Wu's movements were agile, and her grappling techniques flowed like water, entangling her opponents. Every strike was incredibly precise, locking their joints before they could even unleash their soul skills, rendering them unable to move.

Zhu Zhuqing moved through the crowd like a ghost, her claws flashing. The Royal Team's support-type Soul Master tried to retreat and unleash his Soul Skill, but was knocked away by a heavy blow and fell unconscious to the ground.

"Stop! Don't back down!"

Seeing his teammates suffer setbacks one after another, Yun Feiliang shouted urgently, but he himself was firmly suppressed by Lu Yu's fist wind. When the ninetieth punch was thrown, he could no longer hold on. He flew out like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily to the side of the martial arts arena, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Admit defeat!"

Yun Feiliang struggled to his feet, gritting his teeth as he shouted, his eyes filled with resentment.

Seeing their captain defeated, the other members of the Royal Team lost all morale and stopped playing, leaving the arena in complete silence.

Qin Ming stood on the sidelines, dumbfounded, muttering, "This... Shrek Academy actually crushed the Royal Team with just physical skills without using any soul skills? How is this possible?"

Flander clapped his hands with a smile and walked towards Lonely Fu, "Dean Lonely, you flatter me."

The Shrek Academy kids only used a bit of cleverness; if Yun Feiliang could unleash his soul skill, the outcome would be uncertain.

Lonely Fu's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his smile. "Dean Flander is too kind. Shrek Academy is indeed full of hidden talents. Their physical skills are truly amazing."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Lu Yu and the others, "However, with the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament approaching, the two academies still need to communicate more."

"Dean Flander, how about we talk privately?"

"Good, very good."

Flander nodded and walked side by side with Lonely Fu towards the side hall outside the training ground, their figures gradually disappearing into the distance.

Lu Yu stood still, his gaze following the two figures as they walked away, but a strange unease rose in his heart.

He frowned and muttered, "Something feels... off."

As night fell, the dormitory area of ​​the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was sparsely lit, and the moonlight shone on the bluestone path, casting long shadows.

Lu Yu pushed open the dormitory door, only to find Qin Ming already waiting inside, his face grave.

He whispered, "Lu Yu, quickly call everyone in, I have something important to tell you."

Before long, the Shrek Academy members gathered in the inner room. Qin Ming closed the doors and windows and lowered his voice, "I overheard Gu Du Fu's conversation. He seems to have become greedy for your boxing techniques and plans to capture you and force you to reveal your cultivation methods."

"what?"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, her tone tinged with anger, "How could a dignified dean do such a thing?"

Qin Ming smiled wryly, "The Royal Academy prioritizes its own interests; Lonely Fu has always been like that."

I also discovered that Dean Flander and Vice Dean Zhao were sent away tonight, leaving the college unguarded. Lonely Fu might very well take advantage of this opportunity to strike.

Lu Yu frowned and said in a deep voice, "So, we have to leave tonight?"

"Yes, let's go immediately!"

Qin Ming said urgently, "I have arranged the horses and they are waiting for you at the back door."

Time is of the essence, do not delay!

The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with seriousness.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, his gaze resolute. "Alright, pack your bags, let's set off immediately!"

The night was as dark as ink, the starlight dim, and in the dense forest behind Shrek Academy, the wind whispered, carrying a hint of uneasy chill.

Lu Yu stood beside a boulder, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring at Qin Ming, whose expression was complex.

The Shrek Seven Devils members around them—Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Wang Sheng, Huang Yuan, and others—stood or leaned, the atmosphere so heavy it seemed as if even the air itself had frozen.

“Junior Brother Lu Yu, believe me, Gu Du Fu has ulterior motives!”

Qin Ming lowered his voice, his tone urgent, and beads of sweat were visible on his forehead. "He came here tonight not to test us, but to kill us!"

Lu Yu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Qin Ming, but as a Title Douluo, Gu Du Fu's reputation had already resounded throughout the continent. How could he easily attack a few young Soul Masters? "Senior Brother Qin Ming, do you have any evidence for your statement?"

Lu Yu's voice was steady, with a hint of probing.

Qin Ming gritted his teeth and said urgently, "I overheard him talking to someone in private, mentioning your name and saying that your talent threatens the interests of certain people! Lu Yu, you must be careful!"

Lu Yu remained silent for a moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He raised his wrist, activated the AI ​​soul guide on his wrist, and whispered, "Analyze the truthfulness of Qin Ming's words, and extract emotional fluctuations and logical loopholes."

The soul tool emitted a soft hum, and a pale blue light swept across Qin Ming's face.

A few breaths later, a cold voice rang in Lu Yu's ears: "Normal emotional fluctuations, no obvious signs of lying, the probability of authenticity is as high as 90%."

Lu Yu's heart sank. He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be alert and prepare for battle!"

His voice, though not loud, carried an undeniable authority.

Xiao Wu's pretty face tightened, her rabbit ears trembled slightly, and she asked softly, "Xiao Yu, is there really danger?"

"Qin Ming's words are true."

Lu Yu responded in a low voice, his soul power flowing secretly, his senses spreading deep into the dense forest. "Be careful, the enemy may have already arrived."

Before the words were finished, a chilling laugh came from the woods, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, sending shivers down one's spine.

"As expected of Lu Yu, his vigilance is quite high."

A figure slowly emerged from the darkness, his green robes fluttering, his face sinister—it was none other than the titled Douluo, Lonely Fu.

His aura was as oppressive as an abyss, and dark green soul power swirled around him, emitting a faint fishy smell.

"Senior Lonely Fu!"

Qin Ming stepped forward, trying to ease the tension, "What brings you here so late at night? Our Shrek Academy students haven't offended you!"

"Qin Ming, shut up."

Lonely Fu glanced at him coldly, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent. "It's none of your business to tell me what to do."

Lu Yu's heart tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "Senior, what brings you here so late at night? If it is to instruct a junior, there is no need to be so secretive."

Lonely Fu sneered, his gaze fixed on Lu Yu like a venomous snake: "Guidance? Lu Yu, your talent is indeed amazing, but unfortunately, too dazzling a light is destined to bring about annihilation."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hands, and a dark green mist gushed out from his palms, instantly filling the entire dense forest with a pungent, fishy stench that made people dizzy.

"Hold your breath! Watch out for the poisonous fog!"

Lu Yu shouted loudly, his soul power surging as he tried to dispel the poisonous mist. However, the mist was incredibly strange, ignoring the barrier of soul power and quickly invading everyone's bodies.

"what!"

Oscar was the first to succumb, collapsing to his chest, his face deathly pale, black blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. "This poison...it's so potent..."

He managed to utter a few words before fainting.

"Oscar!"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda instantly appeared, attempting to amplify everyone's soul power. However, as soon as she activated her martial soul, her body swayed and she collapsed to the ground, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and stood up, his soul power protecting his body, but he was still swaying precariously: "Damn it, this poison has invaded my soul power, I can't stop it at all!"

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Huang Yuan, and the others persevered through sheer willpower, but their faces had turned pale and their soul power was sluggish.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and frantically circulated his soul power to try to suppress the poison, but the poison was like a leech, corroding his meridians and causing cold sweat to pour down his forehead.

"Lonely Fu, what exactly do you want?"

Lu Yu suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, his gaze sharp as a knife as he stared at the green-robed figure.

Lonely Fu sneered, slowly approaching, his tone chilling: "The Shrek Seven Devils are all incredibly talented, especially you, Lu Yu."

If we allow you to grow up unchecked, you will surely become a major problem in the future.

Today, I will eliminate the hidden dangers for certain people.

He paused, a sly glint in his eyes, "As for who's behind it all, you don't need to know, since you won't live to see tomorrow anyway."

"you!"

Xiao Wu angrily rebuked, her delicate body swaying, but she forced herself to stand up straight, "Despicable villain, a dignified Title Douluo, how dare you poison us juniors!"

"Younger generation?"

Lonely Fu sneered, "In the world of Soul Masters, only the strong are qualified to live."

Your talents have sealed your fate today.

Just then, a clear yet infinitely majestic voice came from the void: "Gu Du Fu, how dare you! You dare to touch the little princess of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, do you think I, Ning Fengzhi, am just a decoration?"

Before the words were finished, space distorted, and a figure stepped out from the crack.

The newcomer was dressed in a white robe, with a refined and scholarly demeanor, yet his brows carried an undeniable air of authority. He was none other than Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! Behind him, the illusory image of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared and disappeared, and the soul power fluctuations emanating from it caused the air to freeze.

"Sect Master Ning!"

Lonely Fu's pupils contracted, and cold sweat instantly seeped from his forehead.

Although he was a titled Douluo, he still felt immense pressure when facing the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects.

Lu Yu and the others felt somewhat relieved to see Ning Fengzhi appear, but they were still unable to move due to the poison's corrosive effects.

Ning Rongrong weakly raised her head and said in a trembling voice, "Father... why are you here?"

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Ning Rongrong, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes, then turned to Gu Dufu, his tone icy: "Gu Dufu, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no grudge against you, why did you attack my sect's little princess?"

Fu Qiang remained calm and forced a smile: "Sect Leader Ning, you misunderstand. I just wanted to test the strength of these juniors. I had no ill intentions whatsoever."

"Testing?"

Ning Fengzhi snorted coldly, his soul power suddenly erupting, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda shone brightly, transforming into an invisible pressure that directly approached Gu Du Fu. "Does testing require the use of deadly poison? Gu Du Fu, do you think my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has no one to rely on?"

Forced back several steps by the oppressive aura, Gu Du Fu's face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sect Leader Ning, I admit that I acted rashly, but this was done at someone's request. I owe Prince Xue Xing a favor, so I had no choice but to do it."

"Prince Xuexing?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a complex look flashed in his eyes. "Why is he targeting me?"

Lonely Fu sneered: "Lu Yu, your talent is too strong, threatening the interests of some people."

As for the details, you'll have to ask on the road to the underworld!

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand, and a poisonous mist condensed into a blade, slashing straight at Lu Yu.

"presumptuous!"

Ning Feng roared angrily, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda flashed with light, instantly dissipating the poisonous blade.

He stepped forward, his soul power surging towards Gu Du Fu like a tidal wave, "If I don't teach you a lesson today, do you really think my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is easy to bully?"

Knowing he was no match for him, Gu Du Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Sect Leader Ning, I admit defeat!"

He suddenly waved his hand, and a green light burst forth from his body. His soul power condensed into a barrier, blocking Ning Fengzhi's oppressive aura. He then turned to flee.

"Want to go?"

Ning Fengzhi snorted coldly, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda shone even brighter. A glazed light screen instantly enveloped the dense forest, blocking Gu Du Fu's retreat. "I'll leave you with one arm as a lesson for you!"

"what!"

With a scream, Lonely Fu's left arm was severed by the shimmering light, and blood gushed out.

He clutched his severed arm, glared venomously at Lu Yu, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Lu Yu, I will avenge this!"

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of green light, forcefully breaking through the light barrier and disappearing into the night.

Ning Fengzhi snorted coldly, turned around and looked at Lu Yu and the others. The light from the glass pagoda in his hand was soft, turning into beams of light that entered the bodies of everyone.

Lu Yu felt the toxins in his body rapidly dissipate and his soul power gradually recover. He said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me, Sect Master Ning."

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, his gaze falling on Ning Rongrong, and said softly, "Rongrong, are you alright?"

Ning Rongrong's expression softened slightly, and she managed to stand up: "Father, I'm fine, I just ran out of soul power."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, turned to Lu Yu, and said solemnly, "Lu Yu, you are exceptionally talented, but do you know why today's events happened?"

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It is my talent that has attracted the jealousy of some people."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "Not bad, but talent is not your fault."

In the world of Soul Masters, strength is the foundation for survival.

"You are strong now, but not strong enough to protect those around you, including Rongrong."

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he said respectfully, "I will remember Master Ning's teachings."

Ning Fengzhi's gaze was deep as he continued, "There is one more thing you need to be wary of."

Flanders' decision to bring you to the competition may seem like a sign of his high regard for you, but in reality, he values ​​the academy's reputation even more.

If you lack talent or offend a powerful enemy, he will abandon you without hesitation.

He prefers disciples with powerful backgrounds, such as Dai Mubai, Yu Chen, or my Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Upon hearing this, a complex look flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "I had already sensed what the sect leader was saying."

Dean Flander certainly values ​​influence and connections more.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, his gaze falling on Lu Yu's martial soul, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Lu Yu, your martial soul is somewhat special, it seems to be related to some ancient force."

Although I cannot confirm it, you are definitely not a rootless person.

Your family may still be waiting for you somewhere.

"family?"

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes. "Sect Leader Ning, are you saying that I might still have relatives alive?" (End of this chapter)
