Chapter 141: The Shameless Strength Clan!
In the matches that followed, the Heaven Dou Team did not send out a second member.
"Next!"
One by one, she defeated the remaining members of Blue Tyrant Academy who came on stage, including Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and the others.
Thus, this so-called exchange competition ended in a rather ridiculous yet somewhat shocking manner.
To give Liu Erlong a bit of face, Sun Buyu stepped forward and asked,
"Dean Erlong, shall the match end here… or should we still have a team battle?"
"The academy has already prepared a banquet for you. Why not go eat first?"
Looking at the dispirited students, Liu Erlong shook her head helplessly. Continuing the match would only bring more humiliation.
"Let's leave it at that."
Liu Erlong sighed, a trace of complexity in her voice.
"This exchange competition was really just meant to bring them here to broaden their horizons."
"To let them know that there are always stronger people out there and motivate them."
"I just didn't expect that this year's students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be so strong."
"Especially that little girl. Her second soul ring is actually a thousand years old. How did your academy manage that?"
Hearing this, Sun Buyu could only give a bitter smile.
"Well… to be honest, I don't know either."
…
As Sun Buyu left to arrange the banquet, only Lin Yuan's Heaven Dou Team and Liu Erlong's Blue Tyrant Academy group remained at the scene.
Looking at the young man before her with an extraordinary temperament, a trace of complexity flashed through Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes.
This time, she had personally led the team here. Nominally, it was for an exchange competition, but in reality, she came to get close to Lin Yuan.
Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Liu Erlong simply started a conversation. Pretending to be curious, she walked up to Lin Yuan.
"You're the captain of Heaven Dou Team One, Lin Yuan, right?"
"I heard Teacher Sun say earlier that you seem to be very strong."
She deliberately turned her gaze toward Yu Tianheng beside him and asked meaningfully,
"I'm a little curious. Between you and Tianheng, who is stronger?"
The moment the question was asked, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Yu Tianheng's face instantly turned ugly. He lowered his head awkwardly, wishing he could crawl into a crack in the ground.
"Aunt Erlong… please don't ask."
Beside him, Dugu Yan's mouth twitched. She thought to herself: Is Liu Erlong really this clueless, or is she pretending?
She clearly knew that just a few days ago, Yu Tianheng had been beaten badly by Lin Yuan with a single spear strike, nearly losing an arm.
Yet now she asked such a question in front of so many people. Wasn't that basically stabbing someone in the heart?
That was ruthless!
Liu Erlong was also quite helpless. Among the people here, the only one she was somewhat familiar with was Yu Tianheng.
After all, nephews were meant to be "sold" when necessary.
She used the matter of Yu Tianheng to start the conversation.
Xiao Wu also asked knowingly:
"Dean Liu, are you very familiar with Yu Tianheng? He was beaten by my brother just a few days ago."
"So who do you think is stronger?"
The moment those words came out, Yu Tianheng's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. His fists clenched tightly, nails digging into his flesh.
This Xiao Wu didn't give him any face at all!
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan thought for a moment. Coincidentally, he hadn't used this month's binding slot yet, so he used it on Liu Erlong.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, binding successful!]
[Liu Erlong is confirmed to be a holder of a diary copy.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the binding reward: one of Liu Erlong's soul skills, Explosive Dragon Flame.]
[Note: This skill will merge into the host's Dual Pupil Martial Soul and can be activated through the Dual Pupils.]
[Skill effect: Both eyes release extreme explosive flames with powerful penetration and explosive force, carrying the dual attributes of "Burning" and "Explosion"!]
Lin Yuan was delighted.
As his body martial soul, the Dual Pupils had always lacked strong offensive methods aside from its supportive abilities. After all, aside from its innate soul ring, he had never added any other soul rings to it.
Now that he had obtained [Explosive Dragon Flame], combined with the external soul bone attached to his eyes, it finally gave him a powerful offensive method.
As Lin Yuan led everyone toward the banquet hall, he summoned the diary in his mind and began writing:
'Since you came up to me yourself, how could I not expose your embarrassing history? And while I'm at it, I might as well drag the Strength Clan out for a stroll too.'
[Today is the day Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Blue Tyrant Academy held their exchange competition.]
[However, to give Liu Erlong some face, the academy chose a closed-door match. There were no extra spectators present.]
[That was actually a wise decision.]
[Because, as expected, the strength of Blue Tyrant Academy's soul masters was indeed a bit weaker.]
[Xiao Wu alone defeated their entire team. Among them, the big guy named Tai Long was beaten the worst.]
[His face was bruised blue and purple. I wonder if, after he goes back today, his father will come to the academy to cause trouble for Xiao Wu.]
[The Strength Clan is famous for protecting their own, even to the point of being shameless.]
[In the original story, that big fool Tai Long took a fancy to Xiao Wu and thought Tang San wasn't worthy of her, so he challenged Tang San.]
[Naturally, he was completely crushed by Tang San.]
[Then came the classic sequence: beat the young one, and the old one appears!]
[Tai Long's father, Tai Nuo, a Soul King, actually went to the school to trouble Tang San, who was only a Soul Elder, under the guise of "sparring."]
[Of course, Tai Nuo was also beaten by Tang San.]
[And then something even more shameless happened. Beat the old one, and an even older one appears!]
[The Strength Clan's patriarch, the rank eighty-six Soul Douluo Tai Tan, personally stepped forward!]
[An elder powerhouse actually went to bully a junior.]
[He even wanted to make a bet with Tang San. Truly shameless!]
[But this time, things are different from the original story. The Strength Clan has already declined and can only linger in Heaven Dou City now.]
[Bullying someone like Tang San from Blue Tyrant Academy, who had no background (or so they believed), was one thing.]
[After all, that was Liu Erlong's territory—basically an internal conflict within the academy.]
[At that time, Liu Erlong was only a Soul Saint. She wasn't as strong as Tai Tan, so even if she knew, she could only persuade them and didn't dare truly fall out with them unless she sought help from her family. But her relationship with her family wasn't particularly good.]
[But now, things are different. Where is this place? Heaven Dou Royal Academy!]
[If Tai Tan dares to come here to cause trouble and lay a hand on Xiao Wu, that would be equivalent to slapping the face of the Heaven Dou royal family and provoking the authority of the entire Heaven Dou Empire!]
[Would the three Soul Douluo of the Three Education Committee really sit by and do nothing?]
[I'm actually a little curious. After Tai Long goes back today, what will his father and grandfather do?]
[Will they continue to carry forward their proud tradition of "protecting their own"?]
