Chapter 628 From Earth!
Dai Mubai did not have the cunningness of his brother. His eyes were fixed on Lu Yu, and his face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
He snorted coldly, his voice filled with undisguised hostility: "Lu Yu? I didn't expect you to be still alive.
A year ago, I heard you were in the Slaughter City, but I never thought you would actually be able to crawl out alive."
Hearing this, Lu Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Dai Mubai, it seems that you have had a good year.
The Soul Saint realm actually surprised me a bit."
Dai Mubai sneered, a trace of resentment flashing in his eyes. "Accident? Lu Yu, back then you made me lose face at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition and caused me to lose Zhu Qing. Now that I've broken through to Soul Saint, do you think you can still be as arrogant as you were back then?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened and she angrily shouted, "Dai Mubai, that's enough! You are a Soul Sage, and Lu Yu is only a Soul Emperor. Why are you proposing a duel? You are bullying the weak, how dare you?"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but interrupt, glaring at Dai Mubai and saying, "That's right! Mubai, if you're really capable, don't bully others by relying on your Soul Sage strength!"
Dai Mubai remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on Lu Yu. His voice was low and full of provocation: "Lu Yu, do you dare to fight me? Let me see how capable you, a guy who has been in the Slaughter City, are!"
A hint of teasing flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He slowly stood up and said in a calm voice with unquestionable confidence: "Okay, Dai Mubai, since you are so interested, I will play with you."
The head of the Zhu family frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave and make room.
Lu Yu and Dai Mubai came to the open space in the Zhu family's backyard. The Zhu family guards and servants gathered around to watch, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Dai Mubai stood in the center of the field, his soul power suddenly erupting. Seven soul rings rose from his feet—yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black! From the fourth soul ring on, they were all ten-thousand-year soul rings. A terrifying aura swept across the entire field, almost suffocating everyone around him.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed, and she whispered, "Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring... How is that possible?"
Xiao Wu also widened her eyes and looked at Lu Yu worriedly: "Lu Yu, this guy's spirit ring..."
Lu Yu, however, remained calm as he glanced at Dai Mubai's spirit ring. In his heart, he secretly asked the Qilin Remnant Soul, "Senior, this guy's strength is not right. A Soul Sage shouldn't have such a terrifying aura."
The voice of the Qilin Remnant Soul rang out in Lu Yu's mind, with a bit of disdain: "Humph, this kid's aura is not naturally cultivated. It seems that he has obtained some kind of broken inheritance and forcibly improved his strength.
Not only that, he also sacrificed his lifespan in exchange for power, his foundation is unstable and poses great hidden dangers."
A hint of understanding flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
He looked at Dai Mubai and said calmly, "Dai Mubai, you've invested a lot this year.
Do you think it's worth it to sacrifice your lifespan in exchange for Soul Sage strength?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's face suddenly changed and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he immediately suppressed it.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Yu, stop playing tricks here! A year ago, you killed the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and I knew you were not dead! Today, I will make you pay for the shame you suffered that year!"
On the sidelines, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's expressions became increasingly solemn.
Zhu Zhuqing whispered, "Lu Yu, be careful, his aura is too strong..."
The little loli Aqiong beside her suddenly sneered, and her crisp voice echoed in the crowd: "Humph, it's just a broken inheritance. You dare to be so arrogant here with the power you bought with your life? Dai Mubai, at the Soul Sage level, I'm afraid you won't even survive ten years, right?"
Dai Mubai suddenly turned his head to look at Ah Qiong, his face livid, and roared, "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Ah Qiong curled his lips, crossed his arms and said disdainfully, "Nonsense? Your soul power fluctuations are chaotic and your aura is weak. It's clearly the result of forcing things to grow.
It would be easy for Brother Lu Yu to deal with you!"
Davis frowned, his eyes moving between Aqiong and Lu Yu, feeling vaguely uneasy.
The head of the Zhu family watched this scene with great interest, with a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
Lu Yu smiled lightly, took a step forward, slowly released his soul power, and said calmly: "Dai Mubai, come on, let me see how strong the power you exchanged your life for is."
Dai Mubai laughed in anger, his spirit ring glowed brightly, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire audience: "Lu Yu, today is the day you die!"
In the Xingluo Empire shrouded in darkness, the Zhu family's martial arts training ground was brightly lit. The surrounding stone pillars were carved with ancient soul beast patterns, exuding a majestic aura.
In the center of the field, Lu Yu, dressed in a black robe, stared at Dai Mubai opposite him with eyes as sharp as knives.
In the surrounding audience seats, everyone in the Zhu family held their breath in concentration. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing stood aside with complicated expressions.
"Lu Yu, today I, Dai Mubai, will prove to you who is the king of the younger generation of the Xingluo Empire!"
Dai Mubai's voice was like thunder, his soul power surged, his seventh soul ring shone, and the white tiger shadow behind him roared with overwhelming momentum.
With the help of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, his muscles swelled and his skin glowed with golden light, making him look like a god of war.
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, "Dai Mubai, half a year ago you inherited the power of a great being, paying ten years of your life in exchange for the cultivation of a Soul Saint. This is indeed a cause for celebration.
But do you really think that no one in your realm can defeat you?"
"Without further ado!"
Dai Mubai roared, clenched his fists, and his soul power turned into a storm that swept across the entire arena, "White Tiger Fierce Light Fist!"
His figure flashed, his fist was wrapped in golden light, and with a whistling sound that tore through the air, it rushed straight towards Lu Yu's face.
Lu Yu's eyes focused, and he moved sideways, barely avoiding the fist wind. The ground was cracked by the force of the fist.
His steps were as fast as the wind, his soul power flowing through his body, and he said in a low voice: "Dai Mubai, your strength is not enough!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly swung out with his right fist, his soul power condensed, and a faint explosion was heard in the air.
"First punch!"
Lu Yu's fist collided head-on with Dai Mubai's fist, and a dull sound of impact echoed throughout the martial arts field. Lu Yu's body swayed slightly, and he took three steps back. The bluestone ground under his feet cracked with fine lines.
Dai Mubai sneered, "Lu Yu, you're nothing special!"
"It's just a warm-up."
A hint of teasing flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and his soul power gathered again, "Second punch!"
He took a step forward and punched out with great force, even stronger than before. Dai Mubai crossed his arms to block, but his arms went numb from the shock and he staggered back.
"Third punch!"
Lu Yu's voice was cold and his fist created a gust of wind. Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and resisted, but a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The audience outside the arena was in an uproar. Zhu Zhuqing clenched her hands and whispered, "Lu Yu's boxing skills... are so strong."
"Fourth punch! Fifth punch!"
Lu Yu's punches were like a tide, each one heavier than the other. Although Dai Mubai's White Tiger Vajra Transformation was powerful, it gradually showed signs of decline when facing Lu Yu's Baji Collapse.
His golden body protection began to crack and his breath became disordered.
"Sixth punch!"
Lu Yu roared, and his fist was filled with terrifying soul power. The air seemed to be torn apart, making a shrill scream.
Dai Mubai roared angrily, his soul power burst out, and he tried to fight back, but before his fist touched Lu Yu, he was blown away by a huge force and fell heavily to the ground, creating a cloud of dust.
"The seventh punch!"
Lu Yu's body was as fast as lightning, his fist fell to the ground like a meteor, and his domineering force directly hit Dai Mubai's chest.
Dai Mubai screamed miserably, and his body fell like a kite with a broken string, crashing down the gate of the martial arts field and embedding into the ground. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, which was a shocking sight.
The whole place was silent, and everyone in the Zhu family was stunned.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but exclaim: "Lu Yu's Baji Beng is so terrifying!"
A complex light flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, showing both shock and worry.
Dai Mubai struggled to get up, his eyes full of madness, "Lu Yu, do you think this is the end? White Tiger Killing Slash!"
His soul power exploded, and the seventh soul ring shone brightly. The white tiger phantom behind him condensed into a golden light blade dozens of meters long, slashing towards Lu Yu with a breath of destruction.
Lu Yu looked calm, his steps were mysterious, and he easily avoided the light blade, which cut a bottomless ravine into the ground.
He said coldly: "Dai Mubai, I respect you as the prince of Xingluo, so I will spare your life today.
But if you don't know what's good for you again, I won't show mercy next time!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and his right fist condensed eight dark forces. The soul power accumulated in his body, turning into sixty-four times the terrifying power, and he punched out.
"The eighth punch!"
This punch was like thunder, and the air erupted with continuous sonic booms. Dai Mubai didn't even have time to react before he was blown away by the punch, crashing through the wall of the martial arts field, and fell in the rubble in a mess, his breath weak.
"Dai Mubai, you lose."
Lu Yu stood with his fists clenched, his eyes cold, "Get out of here with your resentment."
Dai Mubai gnashed his teeth and struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with resentment and resentment. "Lu Yu, I, Dai Mubai, will remember today's humiliation! I will repay you one day!"
He staggered away, his back revealing a sense of loneliness.
Outside the martial arts arena, Zhu Tianxing, the head of the Zhu family, had a complicated expression on his face. He walked slowly over and said in a deep voice, "Lu Yu, although this battle has enhanced the reputation of our Zhu family, it has also completely torn apart our relationship with the Dai family.
The Dai family is deeply entrenched in the Xingluo Empire and I'm afraid they won't give up."
Lu Yu smiled calmly, "Master Zhu, Dai Mubai has brought this upon himself.
If he provokes me again, I don't mind making sure he's completely unable to get up."
His tone was calm, yet it revealed an unquestionable dominance.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned and whispered, "Lu Yu, Dai Mubai is the prince of Xingluo after all. Will you... cause trouble for the Zhu family?"
Xiao Wu also interjected: "Yeah, Lu Yu, you were a bit too harsh. Dai Mubai is in such a state that he will need to be taken care of for several months."
Lu Yu waved his hand, "If he doesn't bother me, I won't take the initiative to cause trouble for him.
Master Zhu, am I right?"
Zhu Tianxing sighed, "Forget it, Lu Yu, you are very powerful, and you have established the prestige of my Zhu family today, I will protect you.
If the Dai family dares to attack, the Zhu family will not be easy to deal with either.
You and the two girls will stay here for the time being. The Dai family won't dare to act rashly within the Xingluo Empire."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Zhu."
Late at night, in the Zhu family's study, the flickering candlelight illuminated Zhu Tianxing's solemn face.
He looked at Lu Yu and said in a deep voice, "Lu Yu, there is something I don't understand.
With your Soul Emperor cultivation, how could you possibly kill ten Title Douluo? Today, you severely injured Dai Mubai with your Eight Extreme Collapse, which makes me feel even more unfathomable."
Lu Yu smiled slightly and took out a peculiarly shaped shotgun from his soul guide. The gun body emitted a cold luster.
He said calmly, "Master Zhu, this is one of my trump cards."
Zhu Tianxing frowned, "What is this? A soul guide?"
Lu Yu shook his head and glanced out the window, as if sensing something. "Master Zhu, someone is peeping outside the window. How about I solve a hidden danger for you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pulled the trigger. There was a deafening gunshot, flames gushed out, and a scream came from outside the window.
A figure fell from the darkness, without a trace of breath.
Zhu Tianxing was shocked. He sent out his soul power and his face changed suddenly. "This... this is the Titled Douluo who infiltrated my Zhu family three years ago! Lu Yu, how did you find him?"
Lu Yu put away the shotgun and said calmly: "This gun is from my hometown, it is called a shotgun, and it is powerful enough to threaten a Titled Douluo.
Only I can control it, no one else can.
Master Zhu, this man has been lurking for three years. I'm afraid he's a pawn planted by the Dai family. Eliminating him today will also be considered removing a hidden danger for the Zhu family."
Zhu Tianxing's eyes flashed with shock, and then he said solemnly: "Lu Yu, your weapon is really terrifying.
Since this is the case, my Zhu family needs to be on good terms with you.
If there is any need in the future, Zhu Jiading will provide full assistance."
Lu Yu bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Zhu, for your trust."
After leaving the study, Lu Yu walked in the corridor of the Zhu family with Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing and A Qiong.
Ah Qiong suddenly stopped and looked at the shotgun in Lu Yu's hand with a complicated look. He whispered, "Lu Yu, this weapon... why is it so similar to what I remember? You... are from Earth?"
Lu Yu was startled, stopped, and looked at A Qiong with a deep gaze, "What did you say? The Earth?"
Ah Qiong bit his lip and lowered his voice, "I am not from this world.
I vaguely remember that I came from a place called Earth, where there were similar weapons called guns.
Lu Yu, are you from there too? Do you know...how to get back?"
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, "Aqiong, what are you talking about? Where is Earth?"
Lu Yu waved his hand to signal the two to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Aqiong, I am indeed from Earth.
I exchanged this shotgun from the system for 50,000 lucky points.
But about going back…”
He paused, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, "I once asked the system and learned that it needs to be upgraded to an extremely high level before I can break through the void and return to Earth.
But my system is only at level three right now, and I’m still a long way from that.”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Ah Qiong's eyes, and he murmured, "Level 3... How long will it take? Lu Yu, do you have any other ideas?"
Lu Yu shook his head, "At present, the only thing we can do is to continue to improve our strength and upgrade the system.
Ah Qiong, if you are really from Earth, we are fellow travelers.
If there is hope of returning home in the future, I will share it with you."
Ah Qiong nodded, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "Okay, Lu Yu, I believe you."
Xiao Wu couldn't help but interrupt, "What exactly is this Earth you're talking about? It sounds so mysterious!"
