Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 134 One Man Fights Alone in the Imperial Battle

Dugu Bo was stunned when he heard You Xing's words.

No, no... I call you brother, and you call my granddaughter sister, isn't this all messed up?!

Dugu Bo was still in a daze, but You Xing's words could be said to have offended everyone present.

"A glimpse of a spot reveals the whole leopard," "In such a circle"... Doesn't this "whole leopard" allude to the other members of their Royal Fighting Team? As for the last sentence, it's almost an explicit reference.

Even though Dugu Yan had a natural fondness for You Xing because he was handsome, young, and seemed to have a good relationship with her grandfather, she still felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.

"Hey kid, are you trying to sow discord here?"

Following Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, the rest of the Royal Fighting Team members also stepped forward.

The handsome young man speaking was none other than Yu Feng, a speed-attack type Soul Master whose Martial Soul is the Wind Chime Bird.

Judging from his appearance, if Dugu Bo hadn't been following Youxing, he would most likely have come up and started beating him up.

Osro, the Soul Master with the Ghost Leopard Martial Soul and an Agility-type, who seemed calmer to the side, glanced at Youxing and quietly walked to Yu Tianheng's side, lowering his voice to say, "Boss, should I teach him a lesson?"

Even though You Xing was clearly someone brought by Dugu Bo, they weren't afraid at all.

Perhaps this is just youthful exuberance.

By this time, Dugu Bo had come to his senses.

Putting aside the issue of address, how could he not understand that Yusei was deliberately stirring up trouble in the current situation?

Just as he was pondering this, he overheard Oslo secretly telling Yu Tianheng what was going on, and his eyes widened immediately.

Good grief, don't they know that Yusei came with me? I'm still here, and they're already plotting how to sabotage him?

Dugu Bo actually thinks there's some truth to what You Xing said.

Arrogant and unscrupulous... Such behavior would be acceptable under normal circumstances, but the Douluo Continent is currently calm on the surface, but in reality, there are turbulent undercurrents.

Who knows, we might have really offended someone.

Dugu Bo frowned. What kind of person was this old poison master? Even if Youxing would never be hurt by these little karami, how could he tolerate these juniors openly plotting how to teach Youxing a lesson?

However, Youxing had already anticipated Dugu Bo's thoughts. He forced his voice into a line and transmitted it, saying, "Brother Dugu, just watch. Watch your brother put on a good show for you."

Dugu Bo was surprised to find that Youxing had such a unique skill. Just then, Yu Tianheng spoke again.

He waved his hand at Oslo, then looked at Yusei with a rare grim expression and said, "Kid, even if you're young, that doesn't give you the right to spout nonsense!"

Dragons have their own scales, and Yu Tianheng's scales include his face, his self-esteem, and Dugu Yan! You Xing essentially trampled on all three of them.

After Yu Tianheng finished speaking, he paused, but then quietly glanced at Dugu Bo beside him. Seeing that the other party was just secretly watching the show, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems this kid's relationship with Senior Dugu isn't quite there yet. At least... I, as Yan Yan's prospective boyfriend, clearly carry more weight!"

Yu Tianheng was not only reassured, but also secretly pleased by Dugu Bo's favoritism. However, his face remained grim and solemn as he said, "Apologize! I want you to apologize to me, my teammates, and Yan Yan right here! Otherwise… just as you said yourself, your reckless and unrestrained behavior easily attracts the wrong people, causing unnecessary trouble and danger! Today, I will teach you the same lesson!"

Seeing Yu Tianheng's domineering demeanor, the other members of the Royal Fighting Team showed expressions of anticipation and excitement.

Only Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and advising, "Tianheng, this... this child is still so young, why bother arguing with him like this?"

Then she looked at Yusei and said, "Everyone in the Royal Fighting Team is my friend, little brother. Even if you were brought by Grandpa, insulting them will make me angry! For my sake, quickly apologize to everyone!"

Although he wanted to be a peacemaker, the bias in his words was obvious.

The phrase "for your sister's sake" in particular made Yusei frown.

Originally, he only wanted to meet these "plot characters" and use their fate to get a first-kill reward, while also trying to sow discord between them and Dugu Yan. However, considering the relationship between Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing, he decided to save face for the members of Huang Dou.

But now, Yusei has decided to change his mind a little.

He suddenly turned to look at Dugu Bo and said, "Uncle Dugu, we showed your token to the guard when we came in, right? He just didn't recognize you."

Dugu Bo stroked his chin calmly: "That's right."

Yuxing deliberately feigned a questioning expression: "Then why does Sister Yanyan make it sound like we did something wrong? This bad guy in blue can convict us just because we trespassed, calling us troublemakers. Why can't I just accept his casual judgment and say they're acting recklessly?"

Yu Tianheng's expression immediately froze, and his face darkened slightly.

Although he was more thoughtful than the other members of the Royal Fighting Team, he was still just a teenager. Asking him to "cause trouble for others" was already the limit. How could he possibly argue with a logic master like Yusei?

The other members of the Royal Fighting team looked at each other, feeling that Yusei had completely gotten into the mess. They thought about it carefully and realized that what he said didn't seem to make any real difference.

However, their mindset did not last long.

Because of the next sentence, Youxing looked at them with a condescending expression and said, "Through what just happened, I am now truly certain that you are indeed a bunch of ignorant trash. You must learn how trash should behave when facing humans. Although my niece Yanyan seems a bit hopeless, she is, after all, Uncle Dugu's junior. I'll just have to take her back for further education."

"Rubbish!?"

At this moment, the emotions of the Royal Fighting Team members were united.

Oh, wait, there's one more person who's a little different.

"niece?"

Dugu Yan's lips twitched as she looked at You Xing's otherworldly face, but she didn't find it cute at all at the moment.

At least, Yusei's provocation has successfully triggered a group mission due to strong shared emotions.

With the first blood reward and the group mission, Youxing slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

Perhaps because of the mission involving the young Yusei in the second mission line, and the fact that the members of the Royal Fighting Team are at most in the third tier in terms of Destiny Power, and are not at their peak, the difficulty of the mission is not outrageous.

Most importantly... he discovered some new tricks for the group's missions.

"Given Yu Tianheng's power of destiny and such intense emotions, his emotional threshold should have already reached the threshold for triggering the mission. The reason he held back until now, directly forming a group mission, is only possible in one way."

That means [his mission trigger determination was delayed]. Presumably, if there's a group objective nearby that matches the group mission criteria, the system will prioritize the group mission. If the trigger conditions are met within the trigger time, the group mission will trigger; otherwise, the individual mission will trigger. Although this is an isolated case and difficult to prove, given the system's behavior, this is probably the case.

In other words, in the future, I won't have to worry too much about raising someone's emotional value too high, causing them to miss group tasks... because if it wasn't triggered, it just means it couldn't have been triggered in the first place.

As the number of task objectives increases, the elements evaluated by the system become highly diverse, and the rarity of group tasks becomes extremely high.

In other words, with such a group where everyone has high Fate Power, Yusei is confident that he can trigger it in one go.

While Youxing was summarizing the information, Yu Tianheng wasn't going to wait for him.

"You are indeed sharp-tongued; I can't argue with you."

Yu Tianheng said coldly, "But I can beat you to a pulp!"

After saying that, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul was activated, and he rushed towards You Chen at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Qin Ming silently walked to Dugu Bo's side and asked hesitantly, "Senior Dugu, is this really alright...?"

He looked at Yusei's still somewhat immature face and felt a little sorry for him. Although Yusei's words made him feel uncomfortable, he still didn't want anything to happen to such a child or for his confidence to be broken.

Considering Yusei's age and the fact that he was taken under Dugu Bo's wing, his talent must be exceptional, so it's not surprising that he developed such an arrogant personality—after all, aren't all the members of the Royal Fighting Team like that?

Dugu Bo remained calm and composed: "It's alright, these kids can't hurt my nephew Youxing."

He appeared calm and collected, but was actually speechless inside.

"No way, my dear brother, you're actually playing with these kids?"

I have to say... I'm speechless, but I'm also a little itchy to try it.

"Damn it, if I had that kind of convenient transformation ability, I'd go blast fish in the pond too!"

Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel envious.

The loneliness of a master fisherman is not contradictory to the pleasure of frying fish in a fishpond.

Qin Ming, unaware of Dugu Bo's craving for fried fish, was deeply shocked by his words and remained speechless for a long time.

"Did I hear that right? That child looks to be only twelve or thirteen years old at most!"

Qin Ming began to doubt himself.

While Qin Ming was doubting himself, Yu Tianheng's first attack had already missed.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Yu Tianheng was slightly surprised to see Yu Xing effortlessly dodge his punch.

"After all, he's a young man who can be associated with Senior Dugu, so it's not surprising that he possesses such strength."

But he quickly regained his composure.

But then Youxing's cold voice came from behind: "Are you sixteen or seventeen again? Never mind, it doesn't matter. At such an old age, you're not even a Soul Master, and instead of focusing on cultivation, you're thinking about flirting with girls. I'm truly ashamed for you."

After saying that, he delivered a powerful spinning kick to Yu Tianheng's back, sending him flying and crashing into the nearest wooden stake with a loud clang.

The members of the Royal Fighting Clan, who were either filled with righteous indignation or looking forward to Yu Tianheng teaching Youxing a lesson, were all greatly surprised.

In the current situation, even Ye Lingling, who was usually the calmest, had a slightly lower voice: "That soul power fluctuation is a level higher than the captain's. There's no mistake, that child... is at least a Soul Venerable."

Soul Master!?

Oslo and Mikaze, who had just been thinking of teaching Yusei a lesson, gasped in shock.

At that age, his soul power level already surpassed their leader's? What a monster!?

Shi Mo, the elder of the Shi brothers who possessed a top-tier defensive martial spirit, couldn't help but ask, "Lingling, you're not mistaken, are you?"

"What's the point of saying all this now?"

Dugu Yan said irritably, "He directly called us a bunch of trash. What does his age or whether he's a Soul Master have to do with it?"

Yu Feng couldn't help but whistle: "Oh, niece Yan Yan, are you really going to show no mercy to your uncle?"

Dugu Yan grinned: "Yu Feng, do you want to experience what it's like to be so poisoned by me that you can't get out of bed for three days?"

"Are we discussing who's next?"

Yusei's calm voice chimed in: "There's no need for that. Trash should be dealt with all at once, all at once."

The sound was very close.

"When!?"

Yu Feng's eyes widened, and he hurriedly performed the Martial Soul Possession.

However, before he could take off and create distance, You Chen's palm was already on his forehead, and with great force, he slammed him hard into the ground!

Just then, the Shi brothers, one in front and one behind, one supported the impact of Yu Feng's body that was about to crash to the ground, while the other directly used a grappling technique to pounce on You Chen from behind.

Shi Mo, the younger brother who was supporting Yu Feng, suddenly felt his shoulders sag. Realizing that this was only the remaining force, his expression changed drastically: "What immense strength!"

He quickly looked up and yelled at his brother, "Brother, step back!"

But that would be far too late.

As if Yuxing had eyes in the back of his head, he delivered an elbow strike that pierced through the tortoise shell of the graphite, causing the graphite's chest to cave in, spitting out blood, and its eyes to roll back as it collapsed to the ground.

A top-tier defensive Soul Master was caught off guard and was instantly defeated by You Chen's fatal blow!

Ye Lingling had already activated her soul power, and the healing power of the Nine Heart Begonia surrounded Shi Mo, and his wounds healed considerably in an instant.

But then Youxing flashed forward and grabbed Ye Lingling's slender neck.

"Clang!"

Ye Lingling's eyes widened, her fair face flushed red, and her mouth opened slightly, unable to hide her despair and fear.

"Lingling!!!"

When Dugu Yan saw her best friend in such a miserable state, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

With Youxing and Ye Lingling so close, she dared not release her soul skill carelessly. She hardened her heart and disregarded her identity as a control-type soul master. She sprang forward and shot out. With her martial soul attached, the snake tail with her legs together suddenly wrapped around Youxing and then quickly tightened.

Yu Xing seemed completely oblivious to this, staring intently into Ye Lingling's eyes, and said, "Alright, you're eliminated. If you need treatment, wait until this match is over."

With that, he flicked his right hand and threw Ye Lingling away like a rag without any mercy.

"roar!"

At this moment, Yu Tianheng finally stood up, surrounded by two spirit rings, one yellow and two purple. The third spirit ring lit up directly. Under the amplification of the Thunder Fury spirit skill, Yu Tianheng, wrapped in lightning, looked like the God of Thunder from the movie.

He saw Dugu Yan's legs wrapped around You Xing's body, and his eyes widened in fury.

laugh--.

Stimulated by the power of lightning, Yu Tianheng's speed was no slower than that of agility-type soul masters of the same level. In just an instant, he arrived in front of You Chen. His first soul ring lit up, and a lightning dragon claw transformed into a dragon directly grabbed at You Chen's face.

Ding.

You Chen extended a finger and gently pressed it against Yu Tianheng's dragon claw. Yu Tianheng's attack was stopped at this point, blocked by a single index finger, and could not advance even a fraction further.

Witnessing this horrifying scene at such close range, both Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng felt their worldviews shattered.

When did a Soul Master with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul ever get suppressed to this extent by a Soul Master of the same level after unleashing their full power?

Yu Tianheng's face contorted.

He felt his pride being crushed by the young man in front of him.

"Let's go back and practice some more."

With a flick of his index finger, You Chen parted Yu Tianheng's dragon claw. Yu Tianheng felt his strength suddenly vanish. Before he could extend his dragon claw further, You Xing's index finger was already pressed against Yu Tianheng's chest, and he flicked it.

Hey!

As if struck by an invisible cannon, Yu Tianheng was sent flying backward, tumbling six times in mid-air before crashing to the ground.

At this moment, the Royal Fighting Team still had Shi Mo, Yu Feng, Dugu Yan, and Oslo, more than half of whom still maintained their fighting power. However, after witnessing what You Chen did without even releasing his martial soul, their fighting spirit was completely extinguished, and the light in their eyes dimmed completely.

It could be said that his Dao heart had collapsed. You Chen confirmed this through the system notification.

Then, Youxing, who had just been extremely cold and aloof, suddenly lowered his head and asked Dugu Yan, "Sister Yan, how long are you going to keep pestering me?"

"Huh? Uh, oh."

Dugu Yan wasn't sure what her emotions were either. Just being stared at by those clear, transparent eyes, like black glass beads, made her unable to muster any will to resist.

It's just that... the power that Yusei displayed was too absolute and too shocking.

After Dugu Yan left Youxing and dispelled her martial soul possession, the others also wore expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

Judging from your expression, Yusei, it seems like... you've suddenly decided not to fight anymore?

Didn't they just say they were going to teach them all a lesson?

But then Youxing suddenly turned to look at Dugu Bo: "Uncle Dugu, we should be done by now, right?"

Dugu Bo was secretly criticizing You Xing for bullying the children in a disrespectful manner, but he wasn't worried about their injuries. With his discerning eye, he could see that You Xing's every move was extremely precise and would never harm the children's foundation.

He was momentarily stunned when he heard the sudden roll call.

Even Dugu Bo felt a little offended when he saw the questioning looks directed at him, including from his own granddaughter.

He looked at Yusei, opened his mouth slightly, and said, "No, you've had your fun, so you're leaving the cleanup entirely to me, right?"

Yusei certainly wouldn't be that unkind.

He quickly transmitted his thoughts: "Like this, like this."

Upon hearing You Xing's secret telepathic message, a strange expression flashed across Dugu Bo's face. "Wait, you're too good, my brother?"
