Chapter 51: Zhu Zhuqing's Win-Over! A Furious Shui Yue'er! An Enraged Hu Liena!

Looking at Davis before him, Lu Yu smiled warmly and said, "Since there is no referee, let's keep fighting until one side loses the ability to battle, or concedes defeat."

Hearing his words, everyone felt a faint sense that something wasn't quite right.

However, Davis was blinded by greed at this moment; how could he care about such details?

The light-yellow-haired youth who had spoken several times stepped forward to the edge of the arena, raised his right hand high, and shouted loudly:

"Three... Two... One... Begin!"

As his voice fell, a White Tiger phantom flashed behind Davis, and his Spirit Avatar possessed his body.

Two yellow and two purple soul rings circled around him!

The third soul ring lit up: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

Davis's momentum climbed steadily, and at the same time, he charged toward Lu Yu at an extremely fast speed.

Lu Yu, however, stood unmoving in place without even releasing his martial soul. He simply slowly raised his right hand, which was covered in claw gauntlets. A dark golden halo rippled outward, and pitch-black runes flickered within the halo. The soul power in the air fluctuated violently!

Lu Yu threw a punch, and a lion-head phantom bearing a grimace roared forward, unleashing an ancient and domineering aura.

Davis felt a shock in his heart, and his first soul ring lit up: White Tiger Guardian Shield!

Pumping all his might into these two soul skills instantly elevated his defense to its absolute limit.

Yet, even so...

"BOOM!!!"

Accompanied by an explosive sound, Davis, who had been charging with fierce momentum, was instantly sent flying backward at an even faster speed, crashing heavily outside the lower boundary of the arena. He coughed up blood, and his chest was slightly sunken.

Davis stared with wide eyes, filled with profound shock, which was quickly replaced by resentment and regret.

Realizing that he had lost a spirit bone on behalf of the imperial family, Davis was overcome by a sudden surge of acute anguish. He spat out another mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fainted dead away.

At this moment, Davis lay on the ground like a dead dog, having completely lost the ability to fight. The victor had been decided.

Only then did everyone react. They had all focused their attention solely on the stakes of the wager, subconsciously overlooking one crucial fact...

The spirit bone Lu Yu had used as a stake had already been absorbed and integrated by him!

Most soul beasts capable of producing spirit bones possessed over ten thousand years of cultivation, and spirit bones could inherit the abilities of the soul beast during its lifetime to a massive extent. Therefore, the power of a spirit bone skill was typically even greater than a ten-thousand-year soul skill of the same rank.

Although he relied on a spirit bone, Lu Yu had defeated Davis with a single move without even using his martial soul, still delivering a powerful visual impact.

"Apologies, I tend to hold back poorly when I strike. You should probably take His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince back for medical treatment first!"

Lu Yu jumped down from the arena, looked apologetically at the people of the Star Luo Empire, and added, "As for the bet, I trust the dignified Star Luo Imperial Family surely wouldn't disdain to break their word to a junior like me."

These words made the expressions of the Star Luo Empire delegation even darker.

After a moment of thought, Lu Yu suddenly added with a playful smile, "Of course, if you all happen to be able to produce a spirit bone as a wager as well, I wouldn't mind sparring with my friends from the Star Luo Empire for a few more rounds!"

Hearing this, the faces of everyone from the Star Luo Empire changed drastically. Immediately afterward, they hurriedly hoisted Davis up and fled as fast as their legs could carry them.

Are you kidding me?!

Still spar?

Damn it...

Even Davis lost; who else could possibly defeat this freak?

Was this guy trying to collect a full set of spirit bones in one go?

Only Zhu Zhuqing walked with lighter footsteps. This young girl, of a similar age to Lu Yu yet possessing an absurdly exaggerated figure, paused slightly as she came to Lu Yu's side and suddenly said in a cool voice:

"Lu Yu, would you be willing to join our Star Luo Empire?"

"As long as you agree, our Zhu family is willing to offer a spirit bone and form a matrimonial alliance with you."

Hearing her words, everyone from the Heaven Dou Empire was stunned.

Even Lu Yu widened his eyes, looking at the young girl before him who was notoriously aloof in the original story.

Was she trying to make him a matrilocal son-in-law?

Looking Zhu Zhuqing up and down, she possessed stunning looks and an enchanting figure, making her a peerless beauty.

At that very moment, Shui Yue'er suddenly stepped forward, blocking the space between Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing. Glaring at the latter, she demanded, "Where did this vixen come from? How dare you attempt to seduce the Heaven Dou Empire's number one genius!"

"Are you even worthy?"

Having said this, she subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's magnificent, rolling curves and suddenly felt a bit unconfident. Grabbing Shui Bing'er from beside her, she puffed out her chest and declared, "Worst comes to worst, the two of us sisters shall share a single husband!"

"Trying to snatch a man from our Heaven Dou Empire? In your dreams!"

Lu Yu was frozen on the spot, and everyone else around them was struck dumb with astonishment.

Especially Feng Xiaotian, who right then desperately wished he could slide-kneel right up to Lu Yu and kowtow to him as his founding master!

He had pursued Huowu bitterly for years to no avail, yet Lu Yu had known the twin sisters of Tianshui Academy for less than a month and had already quietly bagged a pair of sisters!

Huo Wushuang's eyes widened as well, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He was envious!

Who could possibly resist the temptation of twin sisters?

Zhu Zhuqing was also slightly dazed, but she quickly recovered. Her pretty face flushed slightly, though her voice remained cool as she said, "I think you've misunderstood. The person I intend to betroth to Lu Yu is my elder sister. Although she is betrothed to the Crown Prince, I believe that as long as Lu Yu is willing to join the Star Luo Empire, His Majesty will certainly annul that engagement."

Lu Yu felt a wave of speechlessness in his heart. What kind of chaotic mess was this?

Shui Bing'er snapped back to her senses and, with a face full of shyness and vexation, dragged her infatuated younger sister away.

Lu Yu waved his hand and said, "Miss Zhuqing, I am only twelve years old this year, and I haven't considered marriage yet."

Hearing Lu Yu's tactful refusal, Zhu Zhuqing didn't dwell on it; she turned around and walked away.

Watching her retreating figure, Lu Yu fell into deep thought.

The Star Luo imperial family and the Zhu family had intermarried for generations, and both sides raised their descendants using methods akin to raising Gu venom.

Every generation's Star Luo imperial prince was betrothed to a legitimate daughter of the Zhu family. Whichever prospective couple led in cultivation and either suppressed or completely wiped out the others would become the crown prince and crown princess of the Star Luo Empire.

This resulted in imperial brothers turning against one another, while the Zhu sisters were like fire and water.

Yet, judging by the looks of it...

The relationship between the Zhu sisters hadn't soured to that point yet, and both Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing seemed rather indifferent toward their respective fiancés.

Putting away his stray thoughts, Lu Yu glanced behind him at the group with their varied expressions and smiled, "Let's go! Back to the hotel!"

Meanwhile...

Outside Star Luo City, atop a mountain peak.

Bibi Dong, draped in luxurious robes and wearing a royal crown, stood proudly at the summit.

Her peerless beauty, fiery physique, noble status, and cold arrogance made her arguably the pinnacle of the entire Douluo Continent.

Standing behind her were three figures.

One was completely shrouded in black mist—none other than Ghost Dourom.

Another had a head of silver hair with gradient red tips and a handsome appearance. This was Yueguan's disciple, Xie Yue, who had crossed paths with Lu Yu twice in the Star Soul Canyon.

Standing beside Xie Yue was a graceful young girl.

The girl had black hair, a flawless figure, and facial features somewhat resembling Xie Yue's, exuding a unique charm.

This girl was Xie Yue's younger sister, Bibi Dong's direct disciple, and one of the three leading figures of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation: Hu Liena!

Listening as Xie Yue recounted his encounters in the Star Soul Canyon, Hu Liena's beautiful eyes grew wider and wider. Had their teacher not been present, she would have dearly loved to kick her older brother straight down the mountain peak.

Good grief!

He truly was a biological brother! If there's a sister, you really do sell her out!

Ghost Douluo beside them was inwardly astonished. After listening to Xie Yue's account, Bibi Dong remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking:

"Let this matter end here. You need not concern yourselves with it any further."

With that, her figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
