Chapter 41 - Beginner's Luck

May 31
Salas's words echoed in Yu Xiaowei's mind and couldn't be forgotten.
If it had been anyone else, Yu Xiaowei would never have believed such a threat.
But coming from Salas's mouth—
It was hard not to believe it.
After all, the biggest weakness of his flat-headed brother's martial soul was that he was stubborn and didn't know how to be flexible or engage in schemes or intrigue.
"Bibi Dong might be trying to eliminate dissenters and unify the Spirit Hall."
Yu Xiaowei gathered very bad news from Salas's words.
That crazy woman, Bibi Dong, might have started to think that Yu Xiaogang's current situation was caused by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
He had no idea how far the Rakshasa God trial had progressed. As the trial continued, her mind would be increasingly influenced by the Rakshasa God.
Her obsession with destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family would only deepen.
Once the Spirit Hall was unified, he feared they would have to take action.
"How about I tie up Yu Xiaogang, feed him some chicken, then throw him into Bibi Dong's bed?"
As soon as this idea popped into his mind, Yu Xiaowei rejected it.
Women in love were all cold-blooded.
If he really did that, Bibi Dong's first reaction would definitely be: why is Yu Xiaogang being harassed by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family again?
Then Yu Luomian could start preparing his funeral.
"Discredit Yu Xiaogang?"
After thinking it over, Yu Xiaowei shook his head.
It was easy to ruin someone's reputation, but Bibi Dong wouldn't believe it.
To her, Yu Xiaogang would always be the cheerful and handsome man of the past. She wouldn't care what kind of weirdo he had become.
"Faced with such an unrelenting opponent, do I really have to wait until I become a god to defeat Spirit Hall?"
After thinking it over again and again, Yu Xiaowei couldn't find a good solution. His head hurt.
"Let's face the current challenge first. Unfortunately, after level 95, further improvement is no longer just about accumulating soul power, but depends on personal insight."
Everyone stuck at level 95 had already reached the upper limit of soul power at that level. What they lacked was a spark of inspiration.
That couldn't be helped.
Therefore, it was impossible for Yu Yuanzhen to reach level 97 or higher within just seven years.
Otherwise, with the powerful Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul and Ning Fengzhi's enhancement, a level 97 Yu Yuanzhen could even contend with the Golden Crocodile.
The family would also become more confident.
At present, the biggest shortcut was to participate in the Poseidon God Trial and obtain divinity. With a god-level Godzilla spirit, there would be no fear of the two gods in Spirit Hall.

Two days later.
An elderly couple arrived in the city with a young, beautiful girl.
As soon as they entered the city, the tall, thin old man affectionately patted the girl's head and said:
"Yi Ran, let's rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, Grandpa and Grandma will help you find a suitable soul beast."
The girl clung to the old man's arm and smiled.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"Ungrateful girl. Your grandma brought you here too, yet you only thank your grandpa?"
The old woman tapped the girl's forehead and snorted, pretending to be displeased.
The girl quickly took her other hand, wrapped both arms around the old woman's, and giggled:
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma."
As they walked, silver bell-like laughter echoed along the street.
After dinner, the three of them went to the biggest hotel in the city and booked two rooms.
Just as they were about to rest, there was a knock on the door.
The old man shouted with an unshaken expression:
"Who is it?"
"Young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, here to pay respects to the Senior Unrivaled Dragon Serpent."
"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family!?"
Meng Shu had a very strange expression, skeptical of the identity of the person outside.
Their Meng family had never had any dealings with the three upper sects. Why would someone claiming to be a young master of the Blue Lightning family suddenly appear, and with such a childish voice?
Meng Shu blinked at Chao Tianxiang, signaling her to protect Meng Yiran, who hadn't yet returned to her room.
He then summoned his dragon-headed staff martial soul and cautiously approached the door.
Yu Xiaowei, who was calmly waiting outside, saw the door open and raised a token in his hand with a smile.
Upon seeing the six emblems on the token, as well as the dragon pattern in the center representing the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Meng Shu exclaimed:
"The Six Heaven Dou Aces!?"
Meng Shu no longer had any doubts. Only six of these tokens existed. Besides the three Title Douluos of Spirit Hall, the leaders of the three top sects each held one.
Since the person before him held Yu Yuanzhen's token, his claim of being the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family must be true.
As for the possibility of a fake token, Meng Shu immediately dismissed it.
As a Soul Master, if you lacked that kind of discernment, you may as well retire.
"Young Master of the Sect, please come in."
Meng Shu's tone changed.
Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen was very well-known, and his young master would be treated as an honored guest wherever he went.
Yu Xiaowei smiled and put away the token.
Two days earlier, after being threatened by Salas, Yu Xiaomeng, tasked with protecting him, had appeared and given him Yu Yuanzhen's Pope Token.
Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of time and effort to earn the trust of the Dragon Serpent couple.
Meng Shu had already put away his dragon-headed staff. After all, they were in a hotel room and it was touching the ceiling.
Seeing her husband like this, Chao Tianxiang lowered her guard and smiled at Meng Yiran, asking her to make tea.
After Yu Xiaowei sat down, Meng Shu smiled:
"I'm curious—why has the young master of the sect come to find me and my wife?"
Yu Xiaowei didn't beat around the bush.
"Our clan leader hopes the Meng family can become a subordinate family of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."
As soon as he said this, Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang's pupils shrank.
Before they could speak, the young and spirited Meng Yiran had already begun scolding:
"Even if your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family is one of the top three clans, don't think you can force the Meng family to be your followers!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaowei remained calm. He quietly sipped his tea and looked at Meng Shu, whose face had darkened.
Chao Tianxiang also looked toward Meng Shu.
Meng Yiran, who was still ranting, suddenly noticed the strange atmosphere. After looking around, she stopped talking.
All three eyes were focused on Meng Shu, waiting for him to speak.
After a long time, Meng Shu looked at Yu Xiaowei sharply and asked:
"What's in it for the Meng family?"
"Grandfather!"
Meng Yiran called out in panic. Chao Tianxiang pulled her back and signaled her to stay quiet.
Yu Xiaowei, who had already made up his mind, smiled.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family will offer you protection and promise never to abandon its followers like the Clear Sky Sect did."
"We will provide your family with a base, which will at least be wealthier than the Meng family's current territory."
"We'll also open our family's soul beast forest to you."
"As for cultivation resources, it's hard to explain here. We need to return to the sect to discuss."
"But I can guarantee that your current cultivation resources will not decrease."
After pausing, he pointed at Meng Yiran.
"She can also attend the Blue Lord Academy to study."
Meng Shu's frown softened at those words.
But when he heard Meng Yiran could go to the Lan Ba Academy, his brows furrowed again.
"Blue Lightning Academy? What kind of academy is that? I've never heard of it."
"This academy is sponsored by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and offers three free classes per week from Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."
"Poison Douluo!?"
The three in the room cried out in shock.
Meng Shu stared at Yu Xiaowei, clearly excited, and asked in disbelief:
"This academy really has a Titled Douluo as a teacher?"
"Young Master, please don't lie to me!"
Yu Xiaowei smiled, took out a letter from his soul guide, and handed it to Meng Shu.
"Senior Meng, words alone aren't enough. This is a token of my sincerity. After you finish your business here, go to Heaven Dou City and see for yourself the sincerity of our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."
"Today, I'm here to confirm the preliminary matters with you. The specifics will depend on the sect's decision."
"Don't worry about being deceived. You can make a final decision after confirming everything with the sect."
"As for whether the Blue Lightning Academy has a Titled Douluo as a teacher—you'll see for yourself when the time comes."
He solemnly placed the letter behind his soul guide.
Meng Shu burst into hearty laughter and extended his hand to clasp Yu Xiaowei's three times.
"Then, I hope to work together with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."
"Senior, see you in Heaven Dou City."
"See you in Heaven Dou City."
