Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, Allows Me to Defy Fate

Page 149

Yu Xiaoheng turned to the side and pointed to the Blue Lightning Sect camp not far away.

Dugu Xin was flattered and nodded repeatedly, his words stammering.

"It is my honor to receive an invitation from the young master! It is my honor!"

He followed the directions to Lan Dianzong's seat.

All eyes were constantly drawn to them.

Dugu Xin's back, however, stood even straighter.

Once upon a time, slightly stronger Soul Masters would look at the Dugu family with pity or contempt.

Born with a deadly poison, destined to die young!

Dugu Xin had also grown accustomed to bowing and shrinking his head, accustomed to his frail body weakened by the toxins.

Things are different now.

In their eyes, there was more surprise, confusion, and even... jealousy!

The crowd erupted in a torrent of suppressed chatter.

"Why?"

"What merits does a family that practices drugs possess to earn such favor from the young master of Blue Lightning?"

"The strongest member of the Dugu family is only Dugu Bo, a mere Soul Douluo."

"Young Master Yu... what exactly is he thinking?"

Dugu Xin heard all of these disturbances.

But he doesn't care.

A surge of heroic spirit rose from my chest.

He thought of the other members of his family who were also tormented by the poison.

I recalled the fear and disgust people felt when they talked about the word "Dugu".

In the eyes of the world, poison is an evil path, a trick, and something that cannot be openly discussed.

But Yu Xiaoheng said that their toxicology techniques were "exquisite" and "turned the tide"!

A scholar will die for one who understands him!

Dugu Xin's eyes welled up slightly.

In this world, everyone regards the Dugu family as outcasts and poisonous creatures.

Only him, only the Blue Lightning Sect!

They understand!

They understand the Dugu family!

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaoheng casually dealt with several small family patriarchs who squeezed forward to offer their congratulations.

After doing all this, he turned around and looked at the Shui sisters who were still frozen in place.

His mind was clear.

The strength I displayed in that battle will surely win the favor of these two sisters.

However, this goodwill must not be mixed with "unwarranted fantasies".

If they think they can be manipulated based on this affection, or even develop romantic feelings for you, then you'll be in trouble.

After all, the mainland, with its prevalence of romance-obsessed people, must be guarded against.

It would be better to distance yourself from them and treat them as someone of high status.

To him, the Shui sisters were merely "tools" for him to acquire elemental patterns.

A casual acquaintance is enough.

"Your martial soul fusion technique is very powerful."

Yu Xiaoheng spoke up.

"The Ice Crystal Phoenix condenses very quickly, but when the soul power is circulating, the connection between the ice and water elements is still somewhat sluggish."

"If this aspect can be further optimized, its power can be increased by at least 10%."

Shui Yun'er and Shui Lingxi, however, did not pay any attention to this "coldness".

Instead, they listened attentively.

Shui Lingxi flipped her wrist and took out a small booklet from her storage soul tool, then picked up a pen to make notes.

“Young Master Yu is right! We’ve always felt there was some lag during the fusion process, but we just haven’t found the key to the problem…”

Shui Yun'er nodded repeatedly, her usual domineering captain demeanor, which she always commanded in the team, completely gone.

She bowed slightly, exuding docility, and her tone softened considerably.

This scene was witnessed by members of the Tianshui team not far away.

Everyone's eyes twitched, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is this... is this still the same leader who was always right on the training field and dared to contradict even the instructors to their faces?

Why is she like a completely different person in front of Yu Xiaoheng?

Chapter 133 Target, the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Further away.

The atmosphere was even more delicate within the camps of Shenfeng Academy and Chihuo Academy.

Feng Che, the captain of Shenfeng Academy, and Huo Yan, the captain of Chihuo Academy, stared in the direction of the Shui sisters, their faces turning pale and then red.

Both of them also harbored some affection for the Shui sisters.

In the past, due to the gap in strength, he could only suppress this thought deep in his heart and secretly vow to become stronger so that one day in the future he could defeat the Tianshui team fair and square and make them look at him with new eyes.

But now, what I see before me...

The "goddess" they longed for day and night didn't even get a proper look in front of Yu Xiaoheng!

"Oh shit……"

Huo Yan squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

Feng Che did not speak.

But deep in his eyes, a hint of envy and jealousy kept flashing.

Shui Lingxi had filled a small section of the booklet in her hand with notes.

"...So that's how it is! The point where the soul power flows went wrong here!" Shui Yun'er said excitedly.

Beside them, Liu Erlong and Rou'er exchanged a glance, and for some reason, both felt a faint, uneasy feeling.

It's as if... something you cherish has been coveted by someone else.

Shui Yun'er took a deep breath, and a charming blush appeared on her face.

She glanced at her younger sister beside her, and Shui Lingxi understood, gently nudging her arm.

Having mustered her courage, Shuiyun'er stepped forward, her voice soft.

"Young Master Yu, we sisters have no way to repay your guidance today. May we... have the honor of inviting you to dinner?"

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly became ambiguous.

Countless eyes converged on this place.

There was envy, jealousy, and amusement at the prospect of watching the drama unfold.

"Hiss... The two beauties from Tianshui are taking the initiative to invite you out!"

"This is a scene that countless geniuses in the Four Elements City have dreamed of!"

"A hero and a beauty are a perfect match! Young Master Yu has made a name for himself in this battle and won the heart of a beauty. It is a wonderful story."

Even the envoys from powerful forces smiled knowingly.

In their view, this was almost a foregone conclusion.

A young genius and a stunning beauty—a dinner together becomes the start of a beautiful story.

Huo Yan felt his heart turn cold.

Feng Che lowered his eyes, unable to bear looking any longer.

however.

Yu Xiaoheng, who had been calmly discussing things with the Shui sisters, instantly changed his expression.

"No."

Two words reached everyone's ears.

The blush on Shui Yun'er's face faded instantly.

She was stunned.

Yu Xiaoheng seemed to feel that he hadn't explained things clearly enough, so he added two more words.
