Douluo: When the piano sounds, the hidden weapon returns to the factory

Chapter 29 Battle with Yu Tianheng
"Kid."

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the ears of the three people, and Feng Yao's fingertips subconsciously trembled violently. Dugu Bo had unknowingly stood under the shade of the locust tree, the shadow of the Green Phosphorus Snake King looming behind him.

"Senior Dugu?" Feng Yao quickly stood up and slowly saluted him.

Yu Feng's body stiffened, his folding fan fell to the ground with a "clack", and he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Greetings, greetings to His Majesty Poison Douluo!" His voice changed in tone.

Dugu Yan snorted coldly and turned her head away deliberately, not looking at her grandfather.

A trace of embarrassment crossed the old poisoner's face, and he winked at Yufeng. Yufeng was as if he had been pardoned. He didn't even bother to pick up the fan and ran away, leaving only a wisp of green smoke.

When Yufeng's figure completely disappeared, Dugu Bo's majestic posture as a Titled Douluo instantly collapsed. He rubbed his hands together and approached Dugu Yan, like an old servant who had done something wrong: "Yanyan, what's wrong? Are you still angry with grandpa?" His voice was so soft that it could drip water.

Dugu Yan shook her purple hair and deliberately turned her body to the other side.

"Oh my little ancestor," Dugu Bo said with anxiety that his beard stood up, "Grandpa was hunted down by the Spirit Hall and was half dead. If it weren't for Xue Xing leading the Royal Knights..." As he spoke, he suddenly winked at Feng Yao frantically, like an old fox.

Feng Yao suppressed a smile, gently stroking the body of the zither and chiming in, "Yes, Sister Yan, even if Senior Dugu hadn't been here this time, the Xue Beng gang would have found trouble sooner or later. With Shrek's abilities, if he were to leave this golden cage, he might even be able to soar into the sky."

"That's right!" Dugu Bo quickly replied, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. "Those little brats wouldn't be popular anywhere. Why are they doing it here?" He suddenly got stuck, noticing his granddaughter's shoulders shaking suspiciously. He immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Great! You little girl are deliberately teasing grandpa!"

Dugu Yan finally couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing. At this time, Dugu Bo also realized that he had been fooled by his granddaughter.

"Okay, grandpa, we expected this to happen." Dugu Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, with a cunning look in her eyes.

Dugu Bo finally came to his senses and turned to glare at Feng Yao: "You little bastard, are you teaming up to tease me?"

Feng Yao spread his hands innocently, and the strings of his zither rang out a clear sound spontaneously: "Junior didn't say anything."

"Hmph!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly as he flicked his sleeves. "You'd better be careful recently and don't get too close to Xue Qinghe. If it weren't for me, you would have ended up like the Shrek guys."

Feng Yao's expression froze, and he bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you, Senior, for your mediation."

Dugu Bo's expression brightened slightly. A drop of emerald venom condensed on his fingertips. The shadow of the Jade Scaled Snake King loomed behind him. He said calmly, "A genius is only a genius after all." The venom reflected an eerie light in the sunlight. "Just like those little guys today, in front of a truly powerful person..."

"I'm grateful for your advice, junior." Feng Yao bowed again.

Dugu Bo suddenly grinned, revealing his white teeth: "But you, kid..." He patted Feng Yao on the shoulder, "know how to survive in this golden cage better than those young people from Shrek."

"Grandpa, it's better for you to stay out of the public eye recently." Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with cunning, "There's a little girl from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in Shrek."

"What is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? Wait, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?" Dugu Bo suddenly choked in the middle of his sentence, his beard standing up.

Seeing his grandfather's frustrated look, Dugu Yan couldn't help laughing out loud.

"He's just a collateral descendant." Dugu Bo tried to save face and stroked his beard, saying, "Those two old guys wouldn't..."

"He is the greatest genius of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the past hundred years." Dugu Yan added lightly.

"Hmph! Even if those two old guys come." The shadow of the Green Phosphorus Snake King was looming behind Dugu Bo, but his voice unconsciously lowered a few degrees, "If I can't beat them, can't I go to their sect and poison them?" After saying this, he glanced at his granddaughter guiltily.

Feng Yao played the zither at the right moment and chuckled, "Senior, you're worrying too much. With the wisdom of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, we will definitely not make things difficult for you on this matter."

"Well, that makes sense." Dugu Bo walked down the stairs, his figure beginning to fade away. "Boy, take good care of Yanyan." Before he finished speaking, he had turned into a green shadow and disappeared, leaving only a few leaves corroded by the poisonous mist slowly falling.

Feng Yao stroked the strings of the zither with his fingertips and chuckled, "It's time to go back to training, Sister Yan." He turned and walked into the academy. The morning light flowed on his moon-white robe, and "Fuxi" in his arms was shining with a cool and clear light.

Dugu Yan's lips curled up brightly, "Hmm." She followed lightly, but as her gaze settled on Feng Yao's tall figure, the smile in her violet eyes faded. The sunlight shone brightly on the boy's shoulders, making the figure playing the zither seem even more lonely. She unconsciously clenched her fists, a glimmer of sadness lingering in her eyes.

The figure in front of him was clearly very close, yet it seemed extremely far away, and Feng Yao's eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of fog.

A suffocating silence filled the training ground. The Royal Fighting Team members were either standing or sitting, their expressions varied. The news of Qin Ming's departure weighed heavily on everyone's mind like a huge rock.

As Feng Yao and Dugu Yan entered the arena, Yu Tianheng suddenly stood up, his body shrouded in the violent soul power of a blue lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and strode towards them. Feng Yao frowned slightly, and his figure flashed in front of Dugu Yan, his "Fuxi" faintly emitting a strong soul power fluctuation.

"Get out of the way." Yu Tianheng said in a low voice, with lightning flashing in his eyes.

"Xiao Feng." Dugu Yan gently pressed Feng Yao's shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, he doesn't have the courage yet."

Feng Yao stepped aside, but his fingertips were still lightly resting on the strings.

"Why?" Yu Tianheng stared at Dugu Yan and asked, "Why, Yanzi, why did you drive away Teacher Qin and Uncle?"

At this moment, Yu Feng flashed over and pulled Yu Tianheng from behind, saying, "Captain, this is not Yan Zi's fault."

Yu Tianheng's soul power trembled, and he pushed Yu Feng away directly, staring straight at Dugu Yan: "Answer me!"

"Teacher Qin chose to leave on his own." Dugu Yan sneered, his face full of impatience. "As for your good uncle, why not ask him what those students did yesterday? They set off an avalanche."

"He's just a dandy prince!" Yu Tianheng clenched his fists until they creaked.

"Heh," Dugu Yan's eyes shone brightly, "Do you really think that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan can run rampant in Tiandou? Don't forget, your uncle has long been expelled from the sect. Even if you—" she said word by word, "have touched the fourth prince of the royal family, this Tiandou Royal Academy will not tolerate you!" When Yu Tianheng mentioned that Yu Xiaogang had been expelled, his face instantly darkened: "Yanzi, you have crossed the line."

"Who's crossing the line?" Dugu Yan refused to budge. "Yu Tianheng, this isn't your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan. I know what you mean. Grandfather did it on behalf of Prince Xuexing to drive your uncle and his men away. This is the price they paid for crossing the line. If you like your uncle so much, you can choose to leave here and join them."

Yu Tianheng's eyes suddenly burst out with dazzling lightning, and the shadow of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex fully appeared behind him. The four soul rings also slowly evaporated around his body. The violent power of thunder and lightning split the ground of the training ground into scorch marks.

"Enough!" He roared, and his right arm completely turned into a dragon, with crackling thunder and shocking dragon roars, he went straight for Dugu Yan's face.

Feng Yao's pupils shrank, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Fuxi" instantly lay horizontally, its first soul ring illuminating. The seven strings of the zither vibrated simultaneously, emitting a visible ice-blue sonic barrier.

"boom--"

Lightning and sound waves collided, unleashing a deafening roar. The powerful gust of air instantly lifted the robes of several nearby team members, forcing Yufeng, who was close at hand, to spread his wings to steady himself.

"Yu Tianheng! Are you crazy?" Feng Yao's voice was colder than ever before. "You attack your classmates. Is this the way of being taught by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan?"

The "Fuxi" zither instantly lit up, reflecting a rainbow of colors in the sunlight. Three soul rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared beneath Feng Yao's feet.

"I've been wanting to meet you for a long time." Yu Tianheng turned a deaf ear and talked to himself, then the second soul ring lit up: "Thunderous!" Countless electric snakes rushed out of his body and intertwined in the air to form a huge electric net.

Dugu Yan was about to step forward when Feng Yao stopped her with a look. His slender fingers brushed the strings, and a powerful, murderous sound suddenly rang out. The sound waves materialized, shattering the electric grid.

"Third Soul Skill, Thunderous Fury!" Yu Tianheng completely lost his mind, his entire body covered in blue dragon scales, his aura nearing that of a high-level Soul Master. This was his ultimate skill, one he never used during training.

Ye Lingling, who was watching the battle, hurriedly summoned the Nine-Hearted Begonia. The Shi Mo brothers also summoned their martial spirits and tortoise shells, ready to attack at any time. Oslo stopped them and said slowly, "The captain is not listening to advice right now. Let's not intervene for now. Xiaofeng is not necessarily going to lose."

"Strength gained by lowering your rationality? Then try a head-on collision!" Feng Yao sneered and suddenly changed his fingering. The original strong killing sound disappeared in an instant. As Feng Yao's three soul rings lit up, Yu Tianheng's dragon claws were only three inches away from Feng Yao's throat, and something strange happened - Feng Yao's hand suddenly swept across the strings, and a strong bass instantly slammed towards Yu Tianheng. In the strong air wave, Yu Tianheng's movements became slow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You!" Yu Tianheng was shocked and angry at this time. He found that no matter how hard he tried, he seemed unable to break through the air waves caused by the strong sound waves. The circulation of his soul power was being disturbed by some strange musical rhythm, and the lightning around him was melting like ice and snow.

"Within this strong bass, I can even use the sound of the piano to interfere with the circulation of your soul power. Go." The next second, Yu Tianheng could no longer resist the air waves caused by the strong sound waves, and was instantly blown away by the air waves.

This move is an original combat method that Feng Yao has developed over the past two months by combining Xuantian Gong with piano skills. In the process of comprehending Xuantian Gong, Feng Yao understood many key points in the operation of soul power. By influencing those key points through the sound of the piano, he can often effectively block the operation of the opponent's soul power. Of course, this also depends on the soul power strength of both parties. If the opponent's soul power is like the Yangtze River, how can he shake it?

"Give up." Feng Yao slowly walked up to Yu Tianheng. "You currently have no chance of surpassing my piano sound."

Yu Tianheng's eyes crimson as he desperately summoned his soul power, trying to break free. But every time his fourth soul ring lit up, Feng Yao would raise his hand and a single zither sound would shatter his summoned soul power. This feeling of being completely seen through was even more difficult for him to accept than simply being defeated.

"boom!"

Finally, Yu Tianheng knelt on one knee, his dragon form forced to end. He panted heavily, looking up at Feng Yao with a look of disbelief: "When did you..."

Feng Yao put away his zither and stood without answering. He spent every day practicing and thinking. How could the captain Yu Tianheng care whether he had a breakthrough or not?

Dugu Yan stepped forward, the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake condensing in her palm and then dissipating into nothingness. She asked with a slightly complicated tone, "Are you calm now?"

Yu Tianheng was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he ripped off the Tiandou Royal Academy badge on his chest and threw it away. "It's better not to stay in such an academy!" He turned around and glanced at each team member. "You will continue to be the playthings of the nobles in this golden cage!"

"Captain!" Yu Feng tried to catch up, but was stopped by Shi Mo. Everyone understood that with Yu Tianheng's pride, it would be difficult to turn back once he left.

Yu Tianheng paused. His clenched fists loosened and tightened again, and he disappeared at the end of the training ground without looking back.

"Boy, good job." A familiar voice came into Feng Yao's ears.

Feng Yao couldn't help but look helpless, thinking to himself, "This old man is really bad. He was watching from the dark, but he insisted on asking me to take action."

Dugu Yan also looked at Feng Yao at this time, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Xiaofeng."

Feng Yao shook his head slightly and said, "This is what I should do. Sister Yan, before the new team leader arrives, Sister Yan, you can arrange the training on his behalf."

Dugu Yan nodded, then looked at everyone in the Royal Fight and said seriously, "Training will continue as usual."

"Yes." Everyone in Huangdou responded.

That evening, Feng Yao awoke from his world of zither music. The setting sun stretched his shadow long, and Fuxi whimpered softly in the wind.

"Is it worth it?" Dugu Yan appeared behind him at some point. "In order to help me, you offended the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan."

Feng Yao didn't look back, but just gently plucked the strings of the zither and smiled slightly: "Sister Yan and Senior have also helped me a lot, and I believe that Senior will definitely take care of this matter."

After a moment of silence, Dugu Yan suddenly said, "I just received news that Yu Tianheng has applied to drop out of school."

"As expected, there's no place for him at the Tiandou Royal Academy anymore, so going to Shrek is kind of the answer to his wish." Feng Yao finally turned around, a faint smile on his face. "But I believe we'll see each other again at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition."

"Um"
