Chapter 24: Lu Yunzhou VS Yu Yuanzhen – Chen Xin?

Recalling Dugu Yan's words when she had asked for his help, Lu Yunzhou responded to Meng Shenji's question:

"My condition is simple. Since my sister Dugu Yan is studying here at your academy, I ask that you take good care of her and make sure she is not mistreated."

Hearing Lu Yunzhou's "condition" was this straightforward, Meng Shenji and the other two deans exchanged surprised glances. They could hardly believe it—such a simple request!

Quickly, to prevent Lu Yunzhou from changing his mind, Meng Shenji immediately replied, "Rest assured, sir. We will handle this matter with the utmost care and ensure Miss Dugu suffers no grievances."

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

Yu Yuanzhen: "..."

Xue Qinghe: "..."

To be honest, none of them—neither Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, nor "Xue Qinghe"—expected Lu Yunzhou's condition to be…so simple! Just asking them to look after one person, and he had already given them such a "generous" gift. Wasn't this Lu Yunzhou a bit… too magnanimous?

After a moment's thought, "Xue Qinghe," or rather Qian Renxue in disguise, realized this was indeed typical. After all, she had only led Lu Yunzhou around, and he had already gifted her a priceless Soul Bone. To him, such matters were obviously normal.

"Do all cultivators have wealth beyond measure?" she wondered to herself, her curiosity growing.

At that moment, a purple bolt of lightning tore through the clear sky, and a long sword, descending in a flash, struck the ground. Soon, the Thunderclap Douluo Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo, Chen Xin, appeared before the group. Behind them, Ning Fengzhi, looking as refined as ever, followed at a measured pace.

Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi, "Xue Qinghe" offered a respectful greeting, "Greetings, Teacher."

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly in acknowledgment and then turned his gaze toward Lu Yunzhou. "Mr. Lu, greetings."

Next, the other two men introduced themselves.

"Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan greets Mr. Lu."

"Chen Xin of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect greets Mr. Lu."

The arrival of these prominent figures—a clan head, a sect master, and a renowned Titled Douluo—stirred the students nearby into a frenzy.

"Wow, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Master Ning is here! Isn't he supposed to be busy managing sect affairs?"

"And not only Master Ning—our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader is here, too! We only see him once a year at the family gathering; I never thought I'd see him today!"

"Sword Douluo Chen Xin! He's my idol!"

Seeing these important figures arrive, Bai Baoshan quickly took the hint and directed the instructors to usher the unrelated students away, leaving only the three deans, Dugu Yan, and her close friend Ye Lingling from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

With Chen Xin, Ning Fengzhi, and Yu Yuanzhen present, Bai Baoshan sensed that something significant was about to happen. Thus, he ensured any unrelated personnel were gone, allowing these distinguished guests to speak freely.

Lu Yunzhou looked at them with a hint of interest. "I wonder, what brings the three of you here today?"

Without hesitation, Yu Yuanzhen stated his purpose. "I am here… to test myself against Mr. Lu."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin stepped forward, his tone direct and open, "I am here… to challenge Mr. Lu."

With his words, purple lightning began crackling around Yu Yuanzhen's body, while a fierce and overwhelming sword aura radiated from Chen Xin. Clearly, these two would not leave without testing themselves against Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou's lips curved upward, his interest piqued. "Are you certain?"

Both Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen nodded firmly, answering in unison, "We are certain!"

Before Lu Yunzhou could respond, the cold, mechanical voice of his system echoed in his mind:

[Challenge detected from Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Thunderclap Douluo Yu Yuanzhen. Task issued.]

[Task Title: Reduced to Ashes in a Flick]

[Task Description: Easily resolve this battle and make Chen Xin and Yu Yuanzhen aware of the might of a cultivator.]

[Task Reward: Transformation Art (a technique that converts Soul Power to Spiritual Energy, enabling Soul Masters to become cultivators!)]

A task had arrived, and Lu Yunzhou wasn't one to pass up on free gains. With that, he responded confidently, "If that's the case, then please, pardon my impoliteness."

Hearing his response, Yu Yuanzhen looked to Chen Xin. "Sword Douluo, will you go first, or shall I?"

Before Chen Xin could reply, Lu Yunzhou cut in, "No need to decide who goes first. Why don't both of you… come at me together?"

The words fell, and silence filled the air. Ning Fengzhi stared at Lu Yunzhou's imposing figure, double-checking to see if he'd misheard. The sheer confidence Lu Yunzhou displayed was… astonishing.

Thunderclap Douluo Yu Yuanzhen—rank 95 Titled Douluo, possessing the premier beast Martial Spirit of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Under normal circumstances, he could contend with a rank 96 Titled Douluo.

Meanwhile, Chen Xin, the Seven Kill Sword's successor, could hold his own against a rank 97 Titled Douluo. And yet, here was Lu Yunzhou, telling both of them to come at him at once. It wasn't just confidence; it was downright audacity.

Watching him, "Xue Qinghe" felt a ripple of awe. "Is he truly so domineering?"

"Go, Brother!" Despite Lu Yunzhou not being her real brother, Dugu Yan had long since regarded him as family. Seeing him about to face off against two renowned Titled Douluos, she couldn't help but cheer him on, worried yet full of admiration.

"To challenge the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and face off against the 'Pillar of Glazed Jade' of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect… Is this even… possible?" 

Meng Shenji was left speechless by Lu Yunzhou's decision, completely stunned.
