Chapter 617 Hulena's Surprise: "Brother Yu, you've become so strong?"_1

Inside the black bungalow, three goddesses of various charms sat side by side on the bed.

Luo Yu paced within the room.

Thoughtfully.

Bi Bidong asked, "Brother Yu, now that we've found Nana, where do we go next?"

Feeling the gazes of the three women upon him, Luo Yu did not rush to answer.

Instead, he immersed his mind in the map provided by the System in his head.

Both the position marked by the black skull and the location indicated by the blood-red Jian seemed somewhat strange.

They were not on the surface.

But rather, far underground.

Luo Yu looked up and said, "Dong'er, do you know how to get to the location beneath Slaughter City?"

"Underground?"

Bi Bidong frowned.

"There seems to be no direct passage to the underground."

"But I remember that as long as one can pass the hundred-victory challenge of the Slaughter Arena, the Slaughter King will open the Teleportation Array to Hell Road."

"And Hell Road is set deep beneath the earth's surface."

Luo Yu nodded, understanding.

If he wanted to go to the location marked on the map.

He either had to pass the hundred-victory challenge of the Slaughter Arena or dig his way down there.

After estimating the approximate distance shown on the map.

Luo Yu dismissed the idea of digging.

Battling would be more to his liking.

He decisively said, "Let's go, we're heading to the Slaughter Arena."

"What?"

Bi Bidong asked, "Brother Yu, do you want to enter Hell Road?"

"Exactly, the place I'm looking for is inside Hell Road," Luo Yu replied.

Hulena said, "Brother Yu, Nana has already won sixty-four consecutive battles. Just thirty-six more victories and we can ask the Slaughter King to open the Teleportation Array."

"But it seems there's a problem."

"What problem?" Luo Yu gave an inquiring look.

After thinking for a moment, Hulena said, "It seems that the Hell Arena has a rule that only the person who achieves a hundred victories can enter the Teleportation Array."

Luo Yu waved his hand.

"That won't be a problem."

"It's not a problem?" Hulena hesitated.

Luo Yu's eyes sparkled.

"As long as that Slaughter King opens the Teleportation Array, we can just subdue him and all go together."

"What?"

Hulena's mouth fell open.

Are all men's solutions so brutally simple?

"What, you don't trust me?" Luo Yu teased.

"It's not that I don't trust you..." Hulena hesitated, "but the strong dragon doesn't suppress the local snake, and the Slaughter King is said to be unfathomably strong. If we conflict with him, will we really come out on top?"

"Will we come out on top?" Luo Yu's voice grew heavier as he repeated the question.

"Remove the 'will we', after all, if the Slaughter King conflicts with us, he definitely won't come out on top."

"This..."

Hulena's pretty face was full of surprise; having trained in Slaughter City for some time, she was well aware of the Slaughter King's terror.

"Brother Yu, I once saw the Slaughter King from a distance. He was bloodthirsty and brutal, with strength likely not inferior to that of the teacher."

"He has countless aides in Slaughter City; it would be wise for us to be cautious."

Luo Yu laughed, "What's there to fear? If your teacher cannot handle him, I'm still here, aren't I?"

"You...?"

Hulena started to speak, then stopped.

But Luo Yu understood the look in her eyes.

It was as if to say, what's your cultivation level compared to the teacher's?

If a being even the teacher can't beat, can we really rely on you?

However, Hulena's heart was already fully tied to Luo Yu; naturally, she would not speak to discourage him.

Luo Yu smiled and turned to Bi Bidong.

"Dong'er, it seems your precious disciple doesn't trust me very much, does she?"

"Pfft!"

Bi Bidong laughed.

"Is it so strange not to trust you?"

"How could she possibly guess that your strength has increased so terribly over these few short years?"

"If I were her, I'd think you were boasting too."

"Teacher, are you saying Brother Yu's strength has improved terribly in these few years?" Hulena asked curiously, her Beautiful Eyes wide.

Bi Bidong asked, "Can you guess what your Grandmaster's cultivation level is now?"

Biting her lip, Hulena fell into thought.

When she and Luo Yu parted ways back then, she was at the level of a level 40 Soul Ancestor.

Now, being a Soul Emperor would definitely not be a problem.

No, with Brother Yu's perverse and demon-like extent, being a Soul Emperor definitely wouldn't be enough.

Soul Sage?

Hiss—

Hulena took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes wide with enchantment.

"Brother Yu, you're not already a Soul Sage now, are you?"

Luo Yu shook his head with a faint smile.

"Actually reached above Soul Sage?"

Hulena covered her rosy lips, how many years had it been, to go directly from Soul Ancestor to Soul Sage?

This breakthrough is simpler than eating and drinking water?

"Senior Soul Sage?"

Luo Yu shook his head again.

"Heavens!!"

This time, Hulena was thoroughly shocked.

Even a Senior Soul Sage wasn't enough?

She forcefully controlled her astonishment, her voice trembling, "It couldn't possibly be a Soul Douluo, right?"

"How... how could that be possible."

"A Soul Douluo this young??"

Hulena felt her understanding had been utterly refreshed.

She never imagined the man she had secretly loved for years would have such terrifying talent in cultivation.

She thought that after not seeing Luo Yu for a few years, he would be very strong, but she never expected he would be this powerful.

Perverse and demon-like isn't enough to describe him.

He was simply unprecedented.

Watching Hulena guess at his being a Soul Douluo with disbelief, Luo Yu's gaze turned strange.

He couldn't help but say:

"Nana."

"Eh!" Hulena responded.

"What has limited your imagination? Making you think I only have the strength of a Soul Douluo."

"Huh?"

Hulena was completely dumbfounded; she thought her guess had already been quite bold, yet it still wasn't high enough?

She looked sideways at Bi Bidong and Bossi.

Bi Bidong said, "Brother Yu is not joking with you, he is truly very strong now."

"How strong?" Hulena swallowed hard.

"You should know what strength your teacher possesses."

Without a second thought, Hulena said, "Your strength has long reached the level of an Ultimate Douluo, standing at the peak among humans."

"The peak among humans?" Bi Bidong chuckled bitterly, "That, I cannot claim."

"This title of the number one human, only your Teacher Grandfather is worthy of it."

Hulena replied subconsciously, "Do I have another Teacher Grandfather?"

"Swoosh!"

Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes widened, and she lightly tapped Hulena's head with her slender jade finger.

"What nonsense are you saying, girl? You only have one Teacher Grandfather, where would a second one come from?"

"What... what?"

Hulena's delicate body trembled, her scalp tingled.

She pointed shakily at Luo Yu.

"Teacher, are you saying that Brother Yu's strength has reached that of a Titled Douluo, and even stronger than you???"

"Impossible, how could this be."

"Even if one cheats their way up the ranks, it couldn't be this fast."

Hulena shook her head repeatedly, her heart already in turmoil.

At that moment, Luo Yu came over and patted Hulena's shoulder.

With an air of vicarious experience, he said:

"Have more confidence. With Brother Yu covering for you, there's nothing to fear."

Hulena remained stunned for a long time, the news was just too explosive.

If she didn't know her teacher's personality, that he absolutely would not lie,

She wouldn't believe it if it came from anyone else.

Even after taking a long time to adjust her mindset, Hulena still couldn't break free from her shock.

...

Until the three of them arrived at the entrance of a magnificent inverted bowl-like structure.

The gate of Hell Arena.

Preparing to enter and participate in the competition.

Hulena was still in a daze.

Watching Luo Yu's upright figure, she kept swallowing her astonishment.
