Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 244: The Family’s Road Is Narrow!

The flames Gu Yuena released were the ultimate of the ultimate.

Huo Lin and the others all looked like country bumpkins seeing the big city for the first time, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden—each one of them wide-eyed in astonishment.

Even Huo Wu couldn't help but swallow hard.

She was drooling.

The Blazing Fire Academy claimed to have a mimicry cultivation field imbued with the essence of ultimate fire, but that was pure self-praise.

What Gu Yuena casually unleashed now? It blasted them ten streets away in comparison!

Gu Yuena glanced around but didn't see a place that could withstand the power of ultimate fire.

"Mom... Mom, be careful..."

Huo Wu called out dryly.

Right now, even the rest of them had the impulse to call her "Mom."

Gu Yuena raised her other hand and pointed toward an area in the distance where construction was underway.

In the next instant, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently.

"RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...!!!"

Everyone staggered from the tremors.

They looked in the direction Gu Yuena had just pointed.

Suddenly, a metallic tower shot up from the ground, as if it had grown straight out of the earth.

"This... This..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The methods Gu Yuena used were still at the level of a Titled Douluo—

But definitely not something any ordinary soul master could do, and perhaps not even the gods!

The metal tower was completely silver, dazzling under the sunlight, standing over thirty meters tall.

Then Gu Yuena threw the fireball in her hand at the tower.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM...!"

The fireball disintegrated mid-air, transforming into flaming dragons that coiled around the metal tower, fusing completely with it, becoming its "outer coat."

Everyone stared at the magnificent tower, their hearts pounding with excitement.

"Oh my goodness..."

Huo Wu murmured softly.

At this moment, she really wanted to take Gu Yuena's last name!

Huo Lin's eyes were bloodshot. Now, without question, the academy that had the best fire-attributed mimicry training ground was Blue Tyrant Academy!

Forget just the soul master students—even he, the dean, wanted to switch sides!

As long as Blue Tyrant team achieves a good ranking in the upcoming Soul Master Tournament—

Blue Tyrant Academy would definitely thrive year after year!

Surpassing the Four Element Academies or even the two Royal Academies was totally within reach!

"Now then, do you still have anything to say?"

Gu Yuena crossed her arms and asked calmly.

Huo Wu, now filled with pride, shouted at Huo Lin, "See how powerful my mom is?! Are you still going to take me away? If you're taking someone, just take my brother... Huo Wushuang instead!"

"..."

Huo Wushuang stared at Huo Wu with dead eyes. Like hell he was going anywhere!

He was determined to cling to this place too!

"..."

Huo Lin gave an awkward smile and glared at the traitorous Huo Wu.

"Sorry to bother you, sorry to bother you. It's really great that the Blazing Fire Team can train here... Principal Liu, I think our two academies should definitely engage in more exchanges!"

He decisively turned to Liu Erlong with a big, ingratiating smile, clearly wishing he could stay too.

Liu Erlong smiled and nodded slightly to Gu Yuena before replying, "Let's talk outside, so we don't disturb their training..."

"Yes, yes, of course..."

Huo Lin gave the metal tower another burning look before reluctantly leaving with Liu Erlong.

The other teachers from Blazing Fire Academy also dragged their feet as if every step hurt...

Once they were gone, Huo Wu let out a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and then looked eagerly at Gu Yuena.

"Mom..."

She blinked her eyes, trying to pass it off casually.

She wanted to take this chance to make the title official!

Gu Yuena smiled gently and shook her head, "Little girl, don't call me that recklessly. My husband hasn't agreed yet."

"Whatever you say, Mr. Dan Heng will definitely listen."

Huo Wu smiled flatteringly.

Gu Yuena chuckled, "Even so, it's still a no."

Huo Wu immediately slumped—so in the end, she still had to get through Mr. Dan Heng...

But Teacher Gu is obviously the strongest! Why can't she have the final say?

Gu Yuena had everyone return to training.

But deep down, her heart was stirred.

Hearing Huo Wu call her "Mom" again and again actually warmed her heart.

If she never managed to conceive a child, didn't that mean she'd never have a baby of her own with Dan Heng who would call her "Mom"?

Just thinking about it made her heart ache even more.

"No, that won't happen. My husband and I will have a child together!"

Elsewhere, Sea God Poseidon and Zi Ji arrived at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The two were obviously not getting along.

Even on the same path, they walked on opposite sides.

"I'm telling you, don't do anything stupid and embarrass yourself," said Poseidon.

Zi Ji snorted, crossing her arms smugly:

"At home, I'm the most dependable one! Even my sister and brother-in-law rely on me! And now you're lecturing me? You're totally clueless! You know what this is called? It's called an idiom!"

"..."

Poseidon gritted his teeth—he really had a cultural disadvantage here.

After all, a lot of modern knowledge only appeared after he ascended to godhood.

Being mocked by a little she-dragon? Unbearable!

Zi Ji saw his expression and got nervous. She knew Poseidon's true identity and was worried he'd teach her a lesson now that Dan Heng wasn't around.

"I'm telling you, they say the younger sister-in-law is half of the brother-in-law's face—if you dare disrespect me, my brother-in-law will definitely put you in your place!"

Poseidon squinted his eyes, curling his lips, "Oh? I should be scared then... You and Dan Heng are really that close?"

Zi Ji, now emboldened, boasted without restraint: "Of course! After my sister, he loves me the most! For me, he..."

Poseidon didn't know the truth, so she just started spewing nonsense.

Poseidon feigned shock and gasped repeatedly.

Zi Ji, encouraged by his reactions, got even more carried away, talking complete nonsense.

Meanwhile, Poseidon discreetly took out a conch shell and recorded everything she was saying.

As they spoke, they arrived at the main hall of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The clan's senior members immediately came out to greet them but looked a bit puzzled upon seeing Zi Ji.

Poseidon explained, "She's also here to protect Liu Erlong. She's quite strong."

Zi Ji glanced at the senior soul masters and scoffed,

"A bunch of weaklings. I doubt they could hurt that red-bearded fire dragon."

She was extremely arrogant, giving those senior soul masters no face at all.

"..."

Everyone's expressions turned dark. They really wanted to put this arrogant woman in her place—

But no one wanted to lower themselves by arguing with her.

"Mr. Poseidon, we appreciate your help. The second patriarch won't be back for a while. Shall we have a feast in the meantime?"

One senior asked with a smile.

Poseidon stroked his chin and replied, "Sounds good. Zi Ji, go find Liu Erlong later. Yu Yuanzhen will escort her back."

Zi Ji rolled her eyes, "Why should you get a feast while I starve? I want to eat too!"

"Then join us." A soul master of the clan chuckled awkwardly.

Poseidon frowned, "Aren't you worried..."

"They wouldn't dare."

Zi Ji replied smugly.

"..."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's soul masters exchanged glances.

Their smiles were practically frozen on their faces now.

Zi Ji really wasn't giving them even a sliver of face.

As the sun was about to set—

Liu Erlong and Yu Yuanzhen returned together.

A wide road led directly to the clan's main gate.

This was a privilege of the Upper Three Sects.

There was no one else on the road, making it very peaceful.

The two strolled and chatted.

"Uncle, actually, you don't—"

Before she could finish, several black shadows suddenly shot out from the nearby bushes.

Liu Erlong's eyes flashed, and she immediately turned to look—several figures quickly darted away from the bushes.

All of them were flying-type soul masters, dressed in black, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Yu Yuanzhen looked down at the red-bearded fire dragon.

The calf-sized fire dragon let out a dull thud and collapsed to the ground, several arrows lodged shallowly in its neck and chest.

Most of the arrows were deflected by its scales—

But though the wounds were small, the arrows glowed blue, clearly laced with poison!

And extremely potent—strong enough to instantly kill even a millennium-class soul beast!

Liu Erlong bent down and placed a hand near its nostrils.

No breath—and black blood had begun seeping from its seven orifices.

"!!!"

She froze on the spot.

Yu Yuanzhen unleashed his soul power and roared, "WHO'S THERE?!"

A powerful soul force blasted out, flattening the nearby trees and grass.

But by then, no one was around.

"Erlong, this..." Yu Yuanzhen's expression was grim.

Right outside our gate... Actually, that didn't even matter—what mattered was, now that the red-bearded fire dragon was dead, there was no doubt that someone within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had done it!

An assassination right at their doorstep—clearly to avoid being blamed by outsiders.

Liu Erlong's face was dark and stormy. She stared hard at Yu Yuanzhen. "Uncle..."

Yu Yuanzhen sighed, realizing there was no way to hide it.

"Erlong, I... I really don't know... But this millennium soul beast was rare, and I also..."

He tried to explain.

But Liu Erlong suddenly picked up the corpse of the fire dragon, bent her knees, and leapt—

Soaring more than a hundred meters straight over the gate!

"Erlong!"

Yu Yuanzhen panicked. If she went berserk and attacked, it would be a disaster!

He immediately gave chase at full speed.

--------------

"Bang...!!!"

The corpse of the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon slammed into the main hall doors, shattering them instantly.

Inside, the senior members who had been feasting all cried out in shock.

Among them were also Sea God Poseidon and Zi Ji. They stood up at once, staring at the dragon's body which had crashed through, overturning tables and scattering food all over the floor.

Liu Erlong stepped to the doorway, her gaze ice-cold as she looked at everyone in the hall.

These people were all senior soul masters of the family.

Yet in the face of Liu Erlong's chilling gaze, not one of them dared to speak up.

"Who did this?"

Liu Erlong gritted her teeth and asked.

The senior soul masters exchanged glances, all reluctant to answer, trying instead to smooth things over:

"Erlong, it's just a soul beast, nothing more. It died, that's all..."

"Making such a scene—if outsiders saw this, they'd mock our family. Is our friendship worth less than a soul beast?"

"Exactly, Erlong. You have boundless potential. You've caught the attention of the gods. How can you risk everything over a mere soul beast?"

"..."

One after another, the crowd tried to persuade her.

But Liu Erlong's expression remained unchanged—dark and deadly.

In that moment, she even felt the urge to go berserk and start a massacre!

"Enough!!!"

"All of you, shut the hell up!!!"

Zi Ji finally reacted, stomping hard and shouting loudly.

An aura more terrifying than Liu Erlong's erupted from her body, almost tangible, like a massive, invisible mountain crushing down on everyone.

In that instant, no one could move.

All of them wore looks of terror.

Zi Ji's display of strength was beyond their understanding!

If she wanted to, she could kill everyone here without effort!

Just then, Yu Yuanzhen arrived. Feeling the pressure from Zi Ji, his expression changed and he tried to resist—only to instantly be crushed by even greater force.

With a muffled grunt, he fell flat on the floor!

Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's strongest Title Douluo was no match for Zi Ji.

Only now did the senior soul masters realize they had poked a hornet's nest!

The only one unaffected was Sea God Poseidon.

But even Poseidon's face was dark.

Zi Ji turned to him, pointed a finger, and shouted:

"It's all your fault! That Red-Bearded Fire Dragon died because of YOU!"

"???"

Poseidon's face instantly changed. He almost laughed from the sheer absurdity.

This damned little dragon girl was being way too unreasonable!

"I was just about to take over when this happened!" Zi Ji kept defending herself, trying to absolve blame.

Poseidon's face turned grim as he retorted, "I told you to go fetch Liu Erlong! You insisted on eating with us instead! There are plenty of witnesses!"

Zi Ji froze. That... was true.

Which meant not only did she fail to help her sister...

But she also caused Dan Heng's mission to fail?

Just thinking about it made Zi Ji's chest explode with fury!

She gritted her teeth so hard it sounded like bones cracking.

Her breathing grew heavier, her mouth started to split backwards, and purple scales appeared on her skin.

In that moment, she made no attempt to hide her killing intent.

"In that case, all of you... can DIE with the Red-Bearded Fire Dragon!"

Her crimson eyes swept coldly over the crowd.

Yu Yuanzhen and the rest were utterly stunned.

Wait—the entire upper clan of the Three Great Sects... executed for a millennium-old soul beast?

Wasn't that a little... excessive?

"It was me! I did it! If you want to kill someone, kill me!"

One senior soul master quickly confessed.

Better for one man to die than all of them!

Right now, with Zi Ji in a rage, no one doubted her power to kill them all!

Yu Yuanzhen quickly pleaded, "Your Majesty! We've been blessed by the gods! Please think twice! It's just a thousand-year soul beast—"

"Screw your damn gods! Even if one comes here, I'll kill them too!"

A glowing purple energy orb formed in Zi Ji's palm, expanding rapidly, dazzling and radiant, releasing an aura of destruction that drove people mad.

Poseidon opened his mouth and looked at her.

Though he too was furious with those who ruined his plan...

He hadn't expected Zi Ji would go this far!

Of course, he couldn't use his divine powers right now—so all he could do was stand there, helpless.

"You're all going to die!"

Zi Ji roared.

"Stop..."

Just as everyone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan closed their eyes, waiting for death—

A voice rang out.
