Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 69 Avalanche and Yu Tianheng, who were lined up to get beaten up

Just as Yu Tianheng was preparing to fight Ye Liangchen, the office building of the Tiandou Royal Academy's Teaching Committee also became lively.

The Education Committee has three Soul Douluos: Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin. When Dugu Bo proposed that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling withdraw from the Royal Academy, the three members of the Education Committee vehemently disagreed.

"Your Majesty, this is a huge matter. Forcing two talented students to leave the academy at once—how are we supposed to explain this to the royal family?"

Meng Shenji was in a real bind. If the other party had only taken Dugu Yan, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but now they had even taken the girl from the Nine Star Begonia family. That girl was a super support! With that girl gone, all their hard work over the years had been for nothing.

"It was also Clan Chief Ye's idea for Lingling to drop out of school. She entrusted me to handle this matter. As you all know, the Nine Star Begonia Soul Masters are cursed, and our Dugu family's Martial Soul is also troubled by the poison. We heard that there is an unparalleled expert with extraordinary medical skills, so we decided to visit him to see if he can solve our Martial Soul problem."

"You saw that my poison disappeared, but that was only a temporary suppression. In a few months, the poison will rebound. To completely cure it, I need to go and have that powerful person treat me. I want to completely solve my granddaughter's poison problem. I can't let her stay in school any longer."

"I'll compensate you for the resources those two girls consumed at your school."

Dugu Bo didn't want to intimidate people with his title of Douluo, so he followed Ye Liangchen's instructions and fooled the three education committee members. It turned out to be quite an interesting method.

"So that's how it is." The three education committee members were stunned by Dugu Bo's words. The academy really had no way to solve the problem of the two women's martial souls.

"Mr. Dugu, I heard you're going to expel Ye Lingling and your granddaughter from school. Why is that?"

Just then, a voice rang out, and then an elderly man dressed in gorgeous clothes arrived at the Education Committee.

This person was Prince Xuexing, who was also the direct person in charge of the Tiandou Royal Academy. Previously, when Dugu Bo proposed to expel the two girls from school, a teacher reported this to him, so he rushed over immediately.

"Prince Xuexing, your arrival is just in time. From today onwards, I will no longer serve as your guest retainer, and I have repaid your favors."

Dugu Bo originally intended to go to Xue Xing to resign from his position as a retainer, but unexpectedly, she came directly, which saved him the trouble.

"What? Ah...this..."

"Mr. Dugu, haven't we always worked together very well? Why would you resign from your position as a retainer?"

If Dugu Bo leaves, the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family will be without a titled Douluo to oversee it, leaving Xue Xing completely dumbfounded.

"You three should explain to Xue Xing!" Dugu Bo was too lazy to explain to Xue Xing. He figured the old man would probably be killed by Ye Liangchen in the future, so he didn't want to say anything.

"Prince Xuexing, His Majesty Dugu is preparing to take Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to find a peerless expert to resolve their martial soul problem..."

Meng Shenji had no choice but to recount what Dugu Bo had said to Prince Xuexing.

"Mr. Dugu, is there really no way to salvage this situation?"

Prince Xuexing was extremely reluctant to let Dugu Bo leave, as he was a Title Douluo! Moreover, the other party's claim of seeking an unparalleled expert to resolve his martial soul issue seemed to him to be nothing more than an excuse.

"Prince Xuexing, we've known each other for many years. Let's part ways amicably!"

"These two girls have used some resources at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy over the years. Here are 50 gold soul coins as my gratitude to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he immediately bid on a card worth 50 gold soul coins. Ye Liangchen had given him 100 million, which he thought was too much, so he bid on 50 first to see how these old guys would react.

"Mr. Dugu, this is not about money."

Seeing that Dugu Bo directly bid 50, Xue Xing and the three education committee members' eyes lit up, but they were all shrewd and experienced, so they pretended to decline.

"You think it's not enough?"

"Slap slap..."

"Prince Xuexing, one should not be too greedy."

Dugu Bo calmly said something and then bought two more Gold Soul Coin cards with a limit of 10 each, for a total of 70. He knew he definitely wouldn't give away the 100 million.

"Very well, since Mr. Dugu is going to take those two girls away, then I wish you all the best in your future endeavors."

Prince Xuexing was surprised that Dugu Bo would take out 70 gold soul coins. It was too unexpected, so he was too embarrassed to keep him any longer. Otherwise, if the old man went back on his word and didn't give him a single penny, there would be nothing they could do.

Seeing that the old guys had nothing to say, Dugu Bo thought to himself that Ye Liangchen had said before that problems that money could solve were not problems at all. Sure enough, he had only spent 70 yuan and had already convinced them.

……

Ye Liangchen followed Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling leisurely toward the Soul Fighting Arena of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, admiring the various scenery as they walked. The two women accompanied him on either side, chatting and laughing, making others envious.

"That guy seemed to be just sightseeing at the school."

Countless male students were furious at Ye Liangchen's leisurely demeanor; the treatment of being accompanied by beautiful women was simply too enviable.

Just then, a few spoiled young men walked over from a distance. They were startled to see Ye Liangchen walking with the two most beautiful girls in the academy, so they walked over to the three of them.

"Hey! Who are you? How dare you just barge into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

One of the men, dressed in splendid clothes, blocked Ye Liangchen's way and arrogantly questioned him. His small eyes kept glancing at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling beside him. His shifty and sneaky appearance was extremely annoying.

"Sister Yan, who is this idiot?" Ye Liangchen asked curiously.

Ye Liangchen calling that guy an idiot immediately drew gasps of surprise from the other students:

"My God! That guy is incredibly bold to call the Fourth Prince an idiot."

"Exactly! This is going to be interesting."

Many students around thought Ye Liangchen was a fearless newborn calf, and that ignorance is bliss. Even Yu Tianheng and his group in front of them stopped to watch the show.

Even Xue Beng was stunned. He had never encountered such a situation before and wondered where this hothead came from.

When they saw Ye Liangchen call Xue Beng an idiot, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling almost burst out laughing. This little guy doesn't play by the rules!

"Little Chen, the opponent is Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Dugu Yan rubbed her forehead and quietly introduced Xue Beng's identity to Ye Liangchen.

Holy crap! This idiot actually caused an avalanche? He's such a drama queen.

Ye Liangchen looked at the man in front of him. The man was furious and baring his teeth. He really was a thug. This guy's acting was too realistic. Or was this his true nature?

"Oh! So this idiot is actually the Fourth Prince."

"Hey! Fourth Prince, why are you blocking my way? And you're so ugly, you're scaring the beautiful lady away."

Since the other party was Xue Beng, Ye Liangchen ignored him and started to confront him directly. Anyway, this guy wasn't a good person. His character was similar to his uncle Xue Xing's. He was very lecherous and had done many shady things in secret.

"Who are you calling an idiot?"

At this moment, Xue Beng felt like a million grass mud horses were running through his mind. He thought that he was pretending to be a playboy, but this guy was not afraid of his prince status and even dared to call him an idiot and a moron. How could he tolerate this?

"Give him a beating."

To put on an act, Xue Beng directly ordered several of his men to teach Ye Liangchen a lesson.

"Boy, now that you've come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, if you're a dragon, you have to coil up; if you're a tiger, you have to lie low."

Just as Xue Beng's men rushed over, Ye Liangchen dodged and charged towards them like lightning, followed by a series of screams.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Ahhhhh..."

Twenty seconds later, several spoiled brats under Avalanche's command were sent flying, lying on the ground howling in pain.

"Boy, you...you actually dared to lay a hand on me! I am the Fourth Prince of Tian Dou! You're dead! I will capture you and throw you into the Heavenly Prison!"

At this moment, Xue Beng pointed at Ye Liangchen with a fierce look in his eyes and directly threatened him by invoking his status as a prince.

"Bang... Ah..."

Before Xue Beng could finish speaking, Ye Liangchen jumped up and used a 360-degree spinning kick, a move often associated with Hollywood kung fu stars, to strike Xue Beng in the face, sending him flying.

I must say, the 360-degree spinning kick from a standing position was incredibly cool, eliciting gasps from countless students.

"That guy's kick was really cool."

Many students who disliked the avalanche felt a great sense of satisfaction when they saw Ye Liangchen send his opponent flying with a roundhouse kick.

"Boss, maybe you shouldn't fight Lan Chen. I feel like you can't beat him."

Oslo and Yu Feng, who were far away, quietly tried to persuade Yu Tianheng, thinking that the guy dared to fight even the Prince of Avalanche, he must be a ruthless person, and Yu Tianheng was nothing.

"Tch! I'm not some useless prince like Avalanche."

The challenge was initiated by Yu Tianheng against Ye Liangchen, so how could he dare to give it up?

Ye Liangchen didn't know if Xue Beng was really acting, but he figured the other party was probably. Ye Liangchen found it very funny: Xue Beng, since you want to act, then I'll play along. Anyway, you're the one who'll get beaten up.

"Sisters, it feels so good to hit people without using your martial spirit."

Ye Liangchen said something to the two beautiful women beside him, then continued walking forward, ignoring the avalanche group.

"Little Chen, you've triggered an avalanche, which might alert the royal family's higher-ups," Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling warned from the side. At this moment, Dugu Yan was starting to regret bringing this guy to the academy.

"Sister Yan, don't worry, your grandfather and Prince Xuexing are probably watching from somewhere!"

Ye Liangchen wasn't worried about any safety issues at all. Xue Beng was just putting on an act for Xue Qinghe. He had no power to mobilize the royal family's forces. With Dugu Bo by his side, Prince Xue Xing wouldn't dare to do anything.

After Ye Liangchen left, Xue Beng's men were unsure how to proceed, so they asked Xue Beng for advice.

"Your Highness, the other side is a tough opponent. What should we do?"

"Help me up, let's get out of here first, we'll deal with him later."

At that moment, Xue Beng had a string of curses running through his mind, but he didn't know whether he should say them or not. He quickly led a few of his men away from the place, preparing to go back and call his uncle to settle the score.

……

Yu Tianheng's challenge to a stranger also attracted the attention of many teachers in the academy, including Qin Ming.

"Tianheng, who is the other party? Why did you challenge that boy?" Qin Ming asked his student curiously.

"Teacher Qin, the other person's name is Lan Chen, but we don't know where he's from."

"Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling brought that guy to the academy this time, and then..."

Yu Tianheng brought up the matter of the two girls dropping out of school, which greatly surprised Qin Ming. However, upon hearing that Dugu Bo had personally intervened to negotiate with the Education Committee, Qin Ming was powerless to do anything about it.

"Teacher Qin Ming, that guy is here."

"That guy just beat up those guys from Avalanche, and he's not scared at all. He's still acting all calm and collected. It's unbelievable."

Just then, Oslo, the Stone Mill brothers, and others saw Ye Liangchen, who had arrived late, and reminded their teacher.

Upon seeing Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Qin Ming immediately walked over and asked, "Yanzi, Lingling, why did you drop out of school?"

"Teacher Qin Ming, I need to resolve the issue of my martial soul. If I continue to stay in the academy, I might suddenly die one day. Lingling will suffer the same fate and also needs to resolve the curse issue."

Dugu Yan simply made up an excuse to get by, since the entire academy knew about the problem between her and Ye Lingling's martial souls anyway.

"Alright then! Good luck to you."

Hearing Dugu Yan say this, Qin Ming was also helpless, as the academy had no way to help them solve the problem of their martial souls.

"Yu Tianheng, are you ready?"

Ye Liangchen stepped into the arena and calmly called out to Yu Tianheng.

"Lan Chen, it's all ready."

"Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Level 39 Battle Soul Venerable."

"Lan Chen, please use your martial spirit and let me see what gives you the right to be so arrogant."

Yu Tianheng stood opposite Ye Liangchen and introduced his martial soul to him according to the rules of soul master combat.

"I've already said that I won't use my martial spirit in our duel. If you want to know about my martial spirit, you'll have to see if you have the ability to do so."

Ye Liangchen gestured for the other side to start fighting quickly. Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, who were watching from a distance, were very nervous, fearing that something might happen to the little guy.

"hold head high…"

"Lan Chen, you're arrogant. Let me see just how arrogant you really are!"

Yu Tianheng directly released his martial soul, and a blue-black dragon surrounded by lightning appeared behind him. His right sleeve burst open, turning into a Qilin arm, and his fingers turned into dragon claws. Three soul rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, appeared, which looked pretty good.

"Lightning Dragon Claw"

Yu Tianheng shouted and took the lead in attacking, his right arm transforming into a dragon claw that reached out to grab Ye Liangchen.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen activated the Five Elements Bewildering Steps, transforming into a blur as he dodged Yu Tianheng's dragon claws and circled behind his opponent with lightning speed.

"Where is he?" Yu Tianheng's claw missed its target, and he was stunned to find that the other party was gone.

"hold head high…"

Ye Liangchen, standing behind Yu Tianheng, unleashed a Dragon Fist, using his soul power to create a phantom of a dragon claw that attacked Yu Tianheng.

"This is also a dragon claw?"

Upon hearing the sound behind him, Yu Tianheng immediately turned around to meet the attack. His lightning dragon claw collided with the phantom dragon claw that Ye Liangchen had unleashed, producing a loud bang.

"Bang…"

Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary daze, Ye Liangchen instantly accelerated and appeared in front of Yu Tianheng. With an uppercut, a left front kick, a right whip kick, and a 360-degree spinning kick, combined with his level 49 soul power, he stunned Yu Tianheng in a few moves.

Of all martial arts techniques, speed is the only one that cannot be broken. In a battle between two armies, offense is always the best defense. Since Ye Liangchen does not use his martial spirit, he must defeat his opponent with speed.

"This guy's soul power fluctuations are already close to those of a Soul King, and how old is he anyway?"

Qin Ming, who was watching the battle from a distance, was shocked when he saw the aura emanating from Ye Liangchen. No wonder he said he wouldn't use his martial soul; he was truly capable.

"Teacher Qin, Little Chen's soul power has reached level 49. Yu Tianheng wants to challenge him. Isn't he just asking for trouble?"

Dugu Yan said something that surprised everyone.

In the center of the arena, Ye Liangchen was nowhere to be seen; all that could be heard was the sound of Yu Tianheng being hit.

"Bang bang bang..."

Yu Tianheng couldn't react at all. Before he could even use his soul skill, he was knocked down. Then, Ye Liangchen grabbed his feet and used them like hammers to smash him back and forth. The scene was extremely brutal.

"Ahhhhh..."

After being hit a few times, Yu Tianheng's martial spirit dissipated, and he lay on the ground, utterly despondent, screaming inwardly: What kind of monster is this guy? His strength is astonishing, he feels like a ferocious beast.

"What did you see?"

"I only saw a blur before Lan Chen completely dominated him. What kind of monster is this guy?"

"Did you hear what Yanzi said? That guy's soul power is already level 49, almost reaching the Soul King level."

Oslo, Yufeng, and the others finally understood why the other side dared to fight without using their martial spirit.

The onlookers were stunned: "That guy's fighting power is incredible! What kind of skill was that phantom dragon claw he just used?"

"Could it be a soul bone?"

Many people believe that Ye Liangchen possesses a soul bone, and some teachers, including Qin Ming, also believe that his move was a soul bone skill.

"Yu Tianheng, you've lost."

"Like a rat's tail juice, reflect on your actions."

After beating Yu Tianheng to the ground, Ye Liangchen calmly said something and then turned to leave.

Since the other party had no grudge against him, Ye Liangchen did not go all out, but only made him suffer a little physical pain so that he would realize the difference in their abilities.

"Lan Chen, I lost. I was defeated by you, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

Yu Tianheng finally realized what the difference was. His opponent had level 49 soul power, and he had foolishly challenged him. Wasn't that just asking for a beating?

"Yu Tianheng, it was just a friendly spar, don't take it to heart. Let's leave it at that, everyone go home and find your own mothers."

Ye Liangchen waved to Yu Tianheng, then left the Soul Fighting Arena with the two women.
