Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 136 The Zhu Family and Zhu Zhuqing Sever Their Relationship
Yu Xiaogang earnestly instructed, "Since Xiaosan's Clear Sky Hammer has been exposed, then four days later, when you face Team One of the Tiandou Royal Academy, the Clear Sky Hammer will be the key to your victory."

"Master, the Tiandou Royal Academy team is the favorite to win this Soul Master Competition. Can I go on the court and help my third brother and the others?"

Facing Ning Rongrong's request, Yu Xiaogang shook his head and refused.

"No, Rongrong, your special training isn't complete yet. The next battle will still be conducted using the same personnel as we did against Tianshui College."

"Don't worry, Rongrong. I'm a level 41 food-type spirit master. The improvement I can bring to the team is definitely no less than your Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda. And you're our team's last secret weapon. We have to save it for the finals."

When Oscar saw that Ning Rongrong was feeling a little down, he immediately ran to her and comforted her.

Yu Xiaogang looked at everyone and continued to plan the general strategy for the next game.
"Xiao San, although the Tiandou Royal Academy team has maintained a 16-game winning streak, it has also exposed their biggest weakness. I wonder if you have noticed it?"

Tang San pondered for a moment, then immediately said,

"The Tiandou Royal Academy team led by Ji Wuming is composed entirely of land-based spirit masters with extremely strong explosive power. They lack aerial superiority, and we can deal with them just like we did against the Xiangjia Academy."

"Yes, this is the key to your victory."

Following Yu Xiaogang's gaze, everyone looked towards Oscar who was standing next to Ning Rongrong. This battle depended entirely on his Flying Mushroom Sausage. After all, the effect of the Flying Mushroom Sausage's soul skill was that it could fly at the speed of a 1700-year-old cockatrice for one minute, which was enough to turn the tide of the battle.

Oscar looked at his companions' fiery eyes and quickly realized that the key to the next battle lay with him. Oscar replied firmly,
"Guys, I will try my best."

"Alright, take advantage of the hard-earned four days of rest and relax, kids. After four days, defeat Team One from Tiandou Royal Academy."

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, the nine members of the Shrek team were very happy and ran out of the lounge in pairs, walking away in a leisurely manner.

At this time, Dai Mubai was very depressed when he saw the two couples in the team. The anger in his heart was unprecedentedly high, especially after seeing her performance in Tiandou Royal Academy, he was even more frank.

Why should a woman he doesn't want be so strong over him now? He is not willing to accept this.

"I don't know if the family has received the letter I sent. This time, I will make sure that Zhu Zhuqing and the entire Zhu family disappear from our Xingluo Empire completely."

…………

At the same time, Xingluo City
The Xingluo Empire's Soul Master Competition preliminaries were successfully completed today. After Emperor Dai Xier returned to the palace, he had not yet sat down for a moment when a man in black with the strength of a Soul Sage appeared before him. A slightly old voice sounded,

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has sent a letter."

When Dai Xier heard the name Dai Mubai, his originally relaxed face suddenly became tense, and anger gradually appeared on his face.
"This cowardly and rebellious son still has the nerve to write back."

Dai Mubai's escape from the Xingluo Empire was equivalent to giving up the possibility of competing with Davis for the throne in advance. However, he was a prince after all, and Dai Xier still had feelings for Dai Mubai. He often sent people to send him some gold soul coins.
But I have never seen this unfilial son reply to a letter, but I didn't expect to receive a letter from him today.

Dashiell took the letter, opened it and looked at it. There were only about twenty words in the letter.
"I have severed my relationship with Zhu Zhuqing. She has now joined the Tiandou Royal Academy and serves the Tiandou Imperial Family." "Dai Mubai accepts this."

At first, when Dashiell saw the contents of the letter, he was furious and couldn't believe it. But when he saw the sender's signature in the lower right corner of the letter, he slammed the table and stood up, staring angrily outside the hall, and said angrily,

"Send Zhu Yu to the palace—"

Not long after, Zhu Yu, the head of the Zhu family, hurried into the palace hall. Before he could stand firm, he saw Dai Xier's fierce eyes that seemed to want to kill him.

He trembled and said, "Your Majesty is so anxious to see me here. Did I do something wrong?"

"Look for yourself! This is all the work of your third daughter."

Dai Xier threw Dai Mubai's letter towards the bottom of the throne. The letter was like a knife, and it stabbed directly into the ground.
Zhu Yu picked up the letter on the ground, opened it, and saw that his limbs were trembling more and more.

"boom--"

The whole person knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Dai Xier.

"Your Majesty, the Zhu family has absolutely no intention of betraying the Dai family. The Zhu and Dai families have been passed down for 3600 years. From the beginning to the end, the Zhu family's ancestral motto has always been to share honor and disgrace with the Dai family, and to rise and fall together."

Zhu Yu's words were already becoming incoherent. He was afraid that his rebellious third daughter would bring his Zhu family into danger of destruction.

Although the Dai and Zhu families are in a monarch-subject and subordinate relationship, and have an innate talent for martial soul fusion, the Xingluo Empire has more than one Zhu family's Netherworld Spirit Cat martial soul, and there are two other cat-type martial souls that can also produce martial soul fusion with the Evil Eyed White Tiger.
However, the martial soul fusion skills generated by the two families and the Dai family are not as stable as the Nether White Tiger. If the Zhu family makes a mistake, even if it is just a small matter that makes the Dai family unhappy, they are very likely to face the risk of being wiped out.

It's not just the problem of martial soul fusion skills, but also the huge prestige that the Zhu family has gained from marrying into the Dai family for hundreds of years. This is the most fundamental threat.
A country is only allowed to have one royal family with strong strength and prestige. If another family also has the same strength and prestige, then that family will inevitably be suppressed, and may even be exterminated if they are not careful.

"I am aware of your loyalty, Zhu Yu, and the entire Zhu family. The actions of your children not only represent your Zhu family, but also the entire royal lineage of the Xingluo Empire."

"But it's absolutely useless to just let me know. I can't stop Youyou from talking. Do you understand, Lord Zhu?"

"Your Majesty, I understand your difficulties. From today on, Zhu Zhuqing is dead. My Zhu family has no descendants of this kind, and her name will be completely erased from the family tree."

Zhu Yu did not hesitate at all and broke off all ties with Zhu Zhuqing, completely abandoning his third daughter.

For him, family interests, power and status are much more important than a daughter with only level seven innate soul power. What's more, he is still young and can have another child.

"Mr. Zhu, it is good that you understand my painstaking efforts. Zhu Zhuqing is an ungrateful traitor who has not thought about serving the country but instead has gone to serve the Tiandou Empire. It is better for the Zhu family to sever ties with him."

"You can quit."
