Chapter 375: Dugu Yan vs. Yu Tianheng, Lin Yu's Dark Humor
"Hehe, what? Are you angry because I spoke ill of your uncle Yu Xiaogang?"
After rendering Yu Tianheng speechless with just two facts, making him seethe with impotent rage, Lin Yu couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth and speak again.
"Let's make a deal. I'll stop talking bad about your uncle Yu Xiaogang, but the condition is that you fight her in a soul battle..."
As he said this, Lin Yu suddenly patted Dugu Yan's shoulder.
Dugu Yan couldn't help but be stunned.
Lin Yu continued slowly, "If you win, not only will I stop speaking badly about your uncle, but I'll even apologize to him in the next live stream."
"But if you lose, then you have to shout out loud in front of all these people, 'My uncle Yu Xiaogang is a hypocritical and shameless waste!' Do you dare to take this bet?"
Looking at Yu Tianheng, Lin Yu's smile grew more playful as he issued a challenge that would strike at Yu Tianheng's very soul.
As a firm anti-Yu Xiaogang person, Lin Yu couldn't stand by and let Yu Tianheng, this die-hard fan of Yu Xiaogang, get away with it. He had to find a way to deal with him!
But as the master of the Immortal Palace, Lin Yu's status made it inappropriate to directly attack Yu Tianheng, as he was technically a junior.
So instead, Lin Yu cleverly backed Yu Tianheng into a corner and, through Dugu Yan, issued the challenge. This, in Lin Yu's mind, was a bit of malicious fun.
After all, in the original story, Dugu Yan was Yu Tianheng's girlfriend. But now, Dugu Yan was Lin Yu's, and he was going to have her beat up Yu Tianheng.
See? How despicable!
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Yu Tianheng, filled with rage, turned to look at Dugu Yan and hesitated for a moment.
Yu Tianheng knew Dugu Yan well.
If it was the old Dugu Yan, Yu Tianheng was confident he could easily defeat her.
But Dugu Yan had left the Royal Academy of Heaven Dou nearly three years ago and had been in the Immortal Palace for almost three years. Who knew how much she had learned from Lin Yu and what benefits she had gained?
Now, Yu Tianheng wasn't so sure he could defeat Dugu Yan.
"What's wrong? Looks like your resolve to defend your uncle Yu Xiaogang isn't that strong!" Lin Yu said with crossed arms, deliberately provoking Yu Tianheng.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's taunting, Yu Tianheng, who had been hesitating, suddenly felt his blood boil. He couldn't hold it back anymore and shouted in anger.
"Let's fight in a soul battle! You just wait to apologize to my uncle!"
"My lord!"
Hearing Yu Tianheng's challenge, Dugu Yan couldn't help but panic.
Although she had learned top-tier martial arts and techniques from Lin Yu, and with the help of the Celestial-Grade Ling Herb and pills, her martial soul had evolved and her cultivation had reached level 52, she still felt a bit uneasy about fighting a famous Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon soul master like Yu Tianheng.
"Don't worry! Trust me, with your current cultivation and strength, as long as you can effectively use the martial arts and techniques I taught you, defeating Yu Tianheng will be a piece of cake!" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"And don't forget, you still want to be the leader of the soul master team for our future soul master academy, right? You need outstanding strength for that!"
Lin Yu smiled at Dugu Yan's anxiety, gently brushing her hair as if petting a kitten.
With Lin Yu's comforting gesture, Dugu Yan's anxiety slowly dissipated, and she clenched her fist with newfound confidence.
That's right! I'm not the same person I used to be.
Since I've chosen the path of the battle soul master, I can no longer cling to the safety of being a control-type soul master!
Meanwhile, seeing Lin Yu gently caressing Dugu Yan's hair, Yu Tianheng felt a sudden pang of frustration, as if something had been taken from him.
In short, it was annoying!
"My lord Lin Yu, let us build the arena for you!"
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er, with the rest of the team from the Heavenly Water Academy, gracefully walked over. After greeting Lin Yu, she began directing her team to create a soul battle arena using solid ice, ensuring the rest area wouldn't be damaged.
Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe smiled warmly.
He instructed the surrounding soul master teams to step aside, creating enough space for Shui Bing'er and her group to set up the icy soul battle arena.
At the same time, Xue Qinghe sent his heavy-armored warriors to inform the staff of the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena, assuring them that he would handle everything.
"This man is Lin Yu, the one from the live stream? I actually spoke with him. This is so exciting!"
"Earlier, Yu Tianheng didn't even admit that Yu Xiaogang was a hypocritical, shameless waste and tried to fight me, but once Lin Yu spoke, he couldn't say a word!"
"But this guy still needs to be taught a lesson. That purple-haired beauty will definitely give Yu Tianheng a good beating!"
While Shui Bing'er and the others from the Heavenly Water Academy used their soul skills to build the arena, Purple Star Academy's Zhi Feng was excited.
"Hey! Do you think if I join the Immortal Palace after meeting Lin Yu, I could succeed?"
Excited, Zhi Feng turned to ask his teammate.
"You could give it a try, who knows, maybe it'll work. After all, you've got a connection with Lin Yu!" his teammate joked.
Just as Zhi Feng was tempted, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder.
A familiar soft chuckle followed.
"Well, you want to join our Immortal Palace? Sure, after all, you do have a connection with us. You dared to stand up to Yu Tianheng and stick to your principles, so you're honest."
"And I admire honest people. Although our Immortal Palace isn't currently recruiting disciples, you and I can be the first to join!" Lin Yu said, laughing behind Zhi Feng.
Although having Dugu Yan fight Yu Tianheng was already fun, Lin Yu's dark humor only worked because no one else knew his intentions.
Now, with the plan of having Zhi Feng, who once couldn't have beaten Yu Tianheng, receive the teachings of the Immortal Palace and then beat Yu Tianheng at the upcoming academy competition in Heaven Dou City, everything was falling into place.
