Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 201 Zhu Zhuyun and Davis, with Different Fates

The group continued towards Wuhun City, and the incident of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang being kidnapped by bandits was just a joke to be told over tea.

Ever since Bibi Dong labeled Yu Xiaogang a "farting master," he has become a laughing stock. However, his kidnapping by bandits has only made him more famous, truly making him known throughout the world.

Wuhun City, situated at the border of the two great empires of Tiandou and Xingluo, is a sacred place in the hearts of countless soul masters and the third most prosperous metropolis after the two imperial capitals.

Besides the Papal Palace, there is another temple, also known as the Angel Temple, located on a high mountain at the deepest part of Wuhun City. All the titled Douluo there are above level 96, which is the most powerful force of Wuhun Hall.

Of course, the current Pope Bibi Dong is also quite strong, having reached level 98. She also has two level 95 Title Douluos, Gui and Ju, under her command. In addition, there are several other Title Douluos below level 95. Her overall strength is second only to the Hall of Worship.

"Everyone, please follow us."

The participating teams arrived in Wuhun City. As the host, Pope Bibi Dong dispatched the Wuhun Hall Knights to arrange for everyone to stay in the hotel.

"Is this Wuhun City? It's so magnificent!"

The students from various academies looked at the magnificent city with amazement. Even Xiao Wu from the Shrek Academy team was attracted by the bustling city and completely forgot that she was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form.

"Hoo! Spirit Hall..."

When Yu Xiaogang returned to the city, his face was extremely gloomy, and he was roaring with impotent rage in his heart.

"What a terrible Spirit Hall! One day, I will destroy this place and avenge my teacher."

Tang San, like Yu Xiaogang, also looked unwell, secretly vowing in his heart that he would destroy the Spirit Hall in this lifetime.

"Everyone, once you come to Wuhun City, please don't cause trouble. This is not the Heaven Dou Empire. Be careful in everything you do, or you will lose your life. Especially Mu Bai and Hong Jun, please don't go out and cause trouble."

Flander instructed the little monsters to be careful. He noticed the expressions on Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's faces and secretly prayed that the master and disciple pair wouldn't do anything reckless.

Zhao Wuji didn't come this time; that guy is still a wanted criminal of the Spirit Hall and wouldn't dare risk coming to Spirit City. So only Flander led the Shrek team. As for Yu Xiaogang, now that he's in this terrible state, Flander didn't expect him to be of any use.

"The Spirit Hall, oh the Spirit Hall..."

Looking at this colossal city, Ning Fengzhi felt immense pressure. The Spirit Hall was like a mountain pressing down on all the major sects, making them unable to lift their heads.

Sword Douluo remained expressionless, instead turning his gaze towards the Hall of Offerings. He recalled the scene of his father's defeat and subsequent death in despair, and felt a pang of resentment. A hint of fighting spirit flickered in Sword Douluo's eyes, but he also knew that challenging Qian Daoliu with his current strength was like throwing an egg against a rock.

Tang Dachui, who was following the large group of people, did not dare to enter Wuhun City for the time being. Instead, he hid in a certain place in the suburbs, secretly observing everything, and waiting for a suitable opportunity to enter Wuhun City. If he rushed in now, he might be noticed by the titled Douluo of Wuhun Hall, especially that old man Qian Daoliu.

"The mistress exposed her Clear Sky Hammer spirit, and Bibi Dong didn't send anyone to intercept her. That's strange; it's not like the Spirit Hall's style!"

"This time, Yu Xiaogang failed to extract the method for cultivating twin martial souls from Bibi Dong. Instead, he ended up looking like that grotesque creature. Just as people say, he's nothing but a good-for-nothing who talks big!"

"It seems that to deal with the mistress's twin martial souls, we need to find an opportunity to ask that prodigy Ye Liangchen. Perhaps the powerful figure behind him has a way to solve it."

Tang Dachui muttered something to himself, then disappeared into the shadows, continuing to lurk somewhere.

"We've arrived at Wuhun City. Let's go down and take a look."

"We really need to take a good look; this is a sacred place in the hearts of us Soul Masters!"

Ye Liangchen, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er and the others got out of the carriage, ready to take a good look at this bustling metropolis.

As soon as the members of the Tianshui team stepped out of the carriage, they immediately attracted people's attention, especially the soul masters of Wuhun City and the people of the Star Luo Empire, who all cast curious glances at them.

Everyone was incredibly envious of Ye Liangchen, who was surrounded by beautiful women, and at the same time, they admired him greatly. This guy had fulfilled the dream of every man.

"Many high-level Soul Masters from both empires are gathered in this city. There are all sorts of people here, so be careful and protect the children."

"Don't worry! We understand."

Shui Lanxin instructed Shui Lanyue, Ye Cailan, Su Lin, Ye Suling, and Dugu Bo, the titled Douluo, to remain vigilant at all times. The powerful figures surrounded Ye Liangchen and Shui Bing'er in the center, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

Although this place is Bibi Dong's territory, she is currently busy worrying about the finals, and Shui Lanxin doesn't want to trouble her with everything.

……

As evening fell, a man and a woman arrived at the hotel where the Tianshui team was staying. The woman looked very much like Zhu Zhuqing and had a super hot figure. The man looked somewhat like Dai Mubai.

Behind them were several powerful figures, presumably their guards.

These two were Zhu Zhuyun and Davis from the Royal Academy of the Star Luo Empire. After finding out where the Tianshui team lived, they came to visit.

"Who are you two? What brings you to our Tianshui team's residence?"

Shui Lanxin looked at the two calmly. Judging from their appearances, she knew they were Zhu Zhuyun and Davis. So she pretended to be curious and asked.

"We are Zhu Zhuyun and Davis from Xingluo Royal Academy."

"Two or three years ago, Zhu Zhuqing disappeared without a trace. We all thought she had met with some misfortune. Now that we know she is at your Tianshui Academy, we came here specifically to see her. We would like to ask Dean Shui for your help."

Zhu Zhuyun and Davis dared not put on airs in front of Shui Lanxin, who was said to be a titled Douluo.

"Oh! At least you're not here to cause trouble. Then you two can talk!"

Shui Lanxin glanced at the guards behind the two of them, then went into the hotel and called Zhu Zhuqing out.

Upon learning that a strange man and woman had come looking for Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Liangchen and his group followed them out to see who they were.

"Zhu Zhuyun".

When Zhu Zhuqing saw her eldest sister, she greeted her calmly. At that moment, she also felt sad for Zhu Zhuyun's fate.

"Is it you?"

When Zhu Zhuyun saw Ye Liangchen's appearance, she was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly. She would never forget the scene of this peerless genius instantly killing her guards.

"Hey! Beautiful lady, we meet again. What are you afraid of? I'm not going to kill you."

Ye Liangchen also greeted Zhu Zhuyun, after all, she was Zhu Zhuqing's older sister.

"Zhu Zhuyun, what brings you here?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked calmly. Although the other party was her eldest sister, she couldn't bring herself to call her by her first name because she remembered what the woman had done to her second sister and herself.

"Sister, can we talk alone?" Zhu Zhuyun was now regretting what the girl had done.

"Alright! Let's talk in my room!" Zhu Zhuqing said casually.

"Ah...this!"

When Zhu Zhuyun heard that her younger sister was going to take her to her room, she became a little scared. This girl was much stronger than her now.

Zhu Zhuyun originally wanted Zhu Zhuqing to talk outside with her, but she didn't expect the little girl to bring her to the room. This was not what she had imagined!

"What? You're scared now? Zhu Zhuyun, so you're afraid now? Don't worry, I'm not as shameless as you, capable of harming your own weak sister. Besides, if I want to fight you, I'll defeat you in the finals and make you accept your defeat wholeheartedly."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke domineeringly to Zhu Zhuyun, sensing that the other party's soul power had not yet reached the Soul King level. She thought to herself: My dear sister, where did that ruthlessness you showed when you suppressed me go? Did you think that having a prince of Xingluo Kingdom meant you were guaranteed to win? Too bad I have Brother Chen, a peerless prodigy destined to become a god.

Davis, standing nearby, looked extremely embarrassed upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing's domineering demeanor.

"Hey! Beautiful lady, what are you standing there for? Do you think your sister is going to kill you?" Ye Liangchen reminded her from the side.

"Exactly! Zhuqing is such a kind girl, would she really lay a hand on her own sister?"

"Let's get to the point and not waste each other's time."

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er found it somewhat amusing to see Zhu Zhuyun's frightened appearance. She had come to talk to him herself, but now she was backing down.

"Zhu Zhuyun, my dear sister, come in!"

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward, grabbed Zhu Zhuyun's hand, and led her to her room.

"Are you the young man that Zhu Yun spoke of back then?"

Davis looked at Ye Liangchen and immediately understood why Zhu Zhuqing had run away with this guy. This guy had both good looks and strength. According to the information gathered by the Star Luo Kingdom's spies in the Tian Dou competition area, this guy was only 14 years old, but his soul power was as high as level 55, and his soul ring combination was even more incredible.

"Hey bro, who are you?"

Ye Liangchen glanced at Davis and deliberately asked, "This guy is actually quite talented, but we have different positions and classes, so we're not on the same path."

"Prince Davis of the Star Luo Empire," Davis introduced himself.

"The Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, possessing the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Martial Soul, a level 48 Soul Master, the future Star Luo Emperor—his future is bright!"

"Dai Mubai is only level 42 now, he's no match for you at all."

"However, I heard that you are 7 years older than Dai Mubai, and you are only level 48 now. He used to spend his days indulging in pleasure in Soto City, and now he has reached level 42."

"Davis, you're almost 25 years old now, and you haven't even broken through to the Soul King realm. You're practically trash. To be honest, you're not even as good as Dai Mubai."

Looking at Davis's soul power now, Ye Liangchen felt it was too weak. This guy's innate soul power was at least level seven or eight. He had all the superior resources in the Star Luo Empire, yet he only had that little bit of strength. Ye Liangchen really didn't know how he cultivated.

"you…"

Davis was mortified. The Crown Prince of the Empire had been called trash by Ye Liangchen.

Everyone says this peerless prodigy is arrogant, and Davis has finally witnessed it firsthand today.

"Pfft...! Xiao Chen, he's the Crown Prince of Xingluo Kingdom, after all. You called him trash. Where does that leave his dignity?"

Shui Lanxin and the others were also helpless; this little guy was really infuriating.

"Young Master Ye, isn't it inappropriate for you to speak of our Star Luo Empire's Crown Prince like that?"

The guards behind Davis couldn't stand it anymore. This young man actually dared to call the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire trash. He was incredibly audacious.

"What? Is it wrong to tell the truth? People are afraid of comparisons. Compared to Dai Mubai, your eldest prince's strength is really not that great."

Ye Liangchen spread his hands, thinking: I've just said it, so what can you do about it?

"Young Brother Ye, you're right, my strength is indeed trash compared to yours. But as a member of the royal family, I need to learn not only strength, but also other aspects."

After Ye Liangchen's reminder, Davis realized that his skills were indeed terrible.

"This world follows the principle of the strong ruling. Without great strength, you can't control the situation. So your Dai family can only form an alliance with the Zhu family through marriage, the purpose of which is to maintain your rule by obtaining that Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul Fusion Technique. The Zhu family has also gained wealth and glory through this method. But a cat is always a little inferior to a tiger. In a sense, the Zhu family can only be considered a tool and vassal of your Dai family."

"Brother Ye is joking. The Dai and Zhu families have been intermarrying for generations, making it a win-win situation. The relationship is equal, and we have never regarded them as vassals."

Upon hearing Ye Liangchen bluntly state the true situation of the Star Luo Empire's royal family, Davis was terrified. If these words were to reach the ears of the Zhu family, it would be a real problem. So Davis immediately expressed his opinion.

Davis's guards were also taken aback. They had long heard of how terrifying this prodigy was, and seeing him today, they were certain that his reputation was well-deserved!

"Davis, what you're saying is just to fool those brainless people in the Zhu family. Don't say such things in front of me. What kind of equal relationship is that? That's all nonsense. If we're really equal, why don't you let the Zhu family be emperors and see what happens?"

Ye Liangchen could tell that Davis was a little scared.

"Your Highness, let's go!"

Several guards behind Davis immediately reminded him that if he continued talking to this prodigy, the secrets of the Star Luo Empire might be completely exposed.

"What's the rush?" Davis stopped his subordinates from urging him. As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he couldn't panic about anything.

Meanwhile, in the hotel room, Zhu Zhuyun was also stunned by Zhu Zhuqing's words.

"Zhu Qing? You're going to rule the entire Star Luo Empire in the future? Are you kidding me?" Zhu Zhuyun felt that her younger sister was bragging, thinking that this girl was going to rule the entire Star Luo Kingdom in the future.

"My dear sister, this is not my idea, it is Brother Chen's idea. He once said that he wants ninety-nine percent of the world, and as for who is the emperor, he decides."

"For the sake of our sisterhood, I advise you not to get hung up on Davis. You should know when to pull back from the brink. Of course, if you're willing to die with Davis, then I can't stop you."

"I don't want the fate of the Zhu family women to be forever tied to the Dai family. I want to seek justice for my second sister and all the women who have died tragically under the unfair competition rules of the royal family throughout the ages. Therefore, I am determined to destroy the Dai family."

"Brother Chen is a man destined to become a god. With his help, what's a small Star Luo Empire to me?"

Zhu Zhuqing directly expressed her stance to Zhu Zhuyun, giving the other party time to prepare.

"Sister, what should I do now?"

Zhu Zhuyun was incredibly envious when she heard that her younger sister was so lucky to be with a man destined to become a god.

"Have you and Davis... you know...?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, her face turning slightly red.

"Not yet! He hasn't even officially become the heir to the throne yet. How could I so easily give myself to him? I'm not stupid."

Zhu Zhuyun is a very pragmatic person. She wouldn't offer herself up so quickly before Davis truly ascended the throne, and there was nothing to hide from her sister.

"Then keep him hanging on for now, make sure you get yourself involved. Once the Dai family is destroyed, you'll be free," Zhu Zhuqing immediately suggested to Zhu Zhuyun.

"Okay! I'll do as you say."

Zhu Zhuyun was a smart woman. Knowing that Zhu Zhuqing had such a powerful force behind her, she decisively chose to prioritize saving her life.

"That's settled then! You can go back now."

After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she directly ordered them to leave.

"Little sister, I've wronged you before, can you forgive me?"

Zhu Zhuyun hugged Zhu Zhuqing tightly, begging the girl to forgive her. She wanted to improve their relationship and acknowledge that she would be that devilish older sister-in-law from now on. The thought was quite interesting.

"Let's talk about it later! I know you have no choice in the matter."

"Let's go out and take a look. Maybe Davis has been scared out of his wits by Brother Chen."

Zhu Zhuqing pried Zhu Zhuyun's hand away, then led her out of the room, thinking: If you want me to forgive you, at least wait until I beat you up in the Soul Arena. You messed with me so badly when I was a kid, so beating you up now isn't too much to ask, is it?

When the two sisters came outside, Zhu Zhuqing saw that Davis looked a little uncomfortable, and she knew that he must have talked to Ye Liangchen about something.

"Sister Zhuqing, as a woman of the Zhu family, you are engaged to my brother, yet you disregard the rules set by the royal family. Where does this leave the face of our royal family?"

"As a woman of the Zhu family, you should abide by the family rules..."

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was now more outstanding than Zhu Zhuyun, Davis's eyes flashed with greed. He began to make his own calculations, thinking he could use the rules set by the royal family to persuade her, hoping that he might have a better future in the future...

"Davis, you're all planning to kill me, why should I give you any face? Am I out of my mind? What does face matter? Is it more important than living?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Davis coldly. This guy was even more annoying than Dai Mubai. It was because of this guy that her three sisters killed each other.

"Sister Zhuqing is right, we support you. All those royal rules are bullshit."

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and others stood by, raising their fists in support of Zhu Zhuqing.

"What your Tianshui Academy is doing is a slap in the face to our Star Luo Empire. Aren't you afraid of our empire's army?"

Davis was visibly embarrassed. How dare a group of girls say that the Star Luo Empire's royal rules were bullshit!

"Don't be afraid! Xiao Chen has already slapped you in the face, but what can you do? Does he think Dai Tianfeng can come and bite us? If he dares to come, I'll kill him and make sure he leaves without any pain."

"A royal family that doesn't even have a single Title Douluo, what's so great about them? We're giving you face, can you even handle it?"

Shui Lanxin coldly addressed Davis, letting him know what it meant to kill someone by destroying their spirit.

"Buzzing..."

"Respect is earned by oneself, not given by others. Without strength, what is there to talk about regarding respect?"

When Ye Cailan saw that Davis actually dared to threaten Xiao Chen, she immediately lost her composure and released nine spirit rings—yellow, purple, four black, and one red—which dazzled Davis and his group.

"A 100,000-year spirit ring?" Davis and his group were dumbfounded.

"Sister Lan, don't reveal your Title Douluo strength to scare people so easily. If you frighten this future prince of the Star Luo Kingdom, people will say that we are bullying the weak."

Ye Liangchen told Ye Cailan to put away her soul rings. This woman always showed off nine big circles to scare people; it was really speechless.

"Your Highness, let's go!"

The guards from Xingluo Kingdom immediately urged Davis to leave quickly. If they continued to cause trouble, the titled Douluo would get angry, and they, as small fry, would not be able to withstand it.

"Weiss, stop talking and get out of here."

"Dean Shui, we apologize for disturbing you."

Zhu Zhuyun immediately pulled Davis away. Having witnessed the strength of Ye Liangchen's entourage, she was filled with envy. She genuinely wanted to join them, but the time wasn't right, so she could only follow Zhu Zhuqing's instructions and keep Davis hanging for now.
