Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 163 ---

Yunlong calmly stood in front of them and casually greeted, "Yo."

"Little Brother, Yunlong?!"

"Young master!"

Su Yanyu and Hu Liena's eyes widened because they didn't expect him to be their opponent all of a sudden.

"It's been a while." Yunlong slightly smiled at Hu Liena, who looked at him with a baffled expression.

Hu Liena has never seen Yunlong for literally years, and her teacher said that he's going on a mission, which left her speechless back then.

'Four years...' Hu Liena thought while looking at Yunlong, who had grown a lot after he came back.

"Who?"

Everyone in the arena, who doesn't know about Yunlong, looked at him with a frown because his face was very unfamiliar, and they had never heard anything about him.

Huo Shun and the Twins looked at Yunlong with a shocked expression, and their bodies immediately shivered in a cold sweat because they had met this guy in the past.

"Why is he here?" Huo Shun muttered with a solemn expression.

As the spirit hall disciple and tyrant academy student were confused, every elder in the shadow looked at Yunlong with incredible expression because they didn't expect to see the monster boy again.

"He is here..." Ci Xue's face darkened because he could still remember the humiliation he got after Ba Jai lost in that test fight.

Meanwhile, Yu Long looked at Yunlong with a somewhat complicated gaze because Yu Ning'er even firmly rejected his training in the past, only to be his maid.

"Ning'er." Yu Long silently said while looking at her disciple on the stage, who wore a veil, but he knew it was her.

Xie Yue and Yan looked at Yunlong with a frown and pondered who he was, which caused Liu Erlong to smile because she somehow loves their reactions.

Liu Erlong suddenly coughed a little to attract everyone's attention and calmly declared, "Ehem... I'll introduce this person to everyone."

"This person's name is Yunlong." She introduced him with a sly smirk. "... And He's the Supreme Pontiff's Son."

"Huh?!"

"Wait... What?!"

"EEEHHHHHHHHH!"

Everyone couldn't believe what Liu Erlong was saying and hurriedly moved their gazes to Bibi Dong, so they could confirm whether it was true or not.

Bibi Dong lightly nodded her head and gently smiled, "Mhm, Yunlong is my son." She warmly answered, which caught the audience off guard.

Not only did Bibi Dong answer gently about her relationship with Yunlong, but she also smiled, which the audience rarely, no had never seen before.

"The supreme pontiff smiled..." The spirit hall disciple looked at Bibi Dong in awe because they didn't know their leader could be this beautiful as she usually had a cold or stoic expression on her face.

"So... He's a real deal." Yan somehow looked at Yunlong with an attentive gaze but couldn't sense anything special from him.

"Teacher, are we really going to fight the young master?" Su Yanyu suddenly asked because they clearly would lose.

Even though Su Yanyu only saw Yunlong fight once in the spirit arena, that alone was enough to make her panic because their differences in strength are so huge.

Liu Erlong slowly moved her gaze to Su Yanyu and replied, "Don't tell me you are afraid, Yanyu?"

"I didn't teach you to be a loser. You need to become stronger if you want to survive, right?" She indifferently continued, which caused Su Yanyu to frown.

Su Yanyu knows that Liu Erlong was provoking her, but a sudden flashback about her past made her realize something.

"Fine." Su Yanyu responded with a sigh.

Yunlong nodded his head and calmly threw something toward them, which they caught with any difficulty.

Hu Liena glanced at Yunlong and slowly opened her palm, which revealed a white pill with a refreshing fragrance.

"It's a Recovery pill. It could heal wounds and recover one's spirit energy." Yunlong naturally said, which caused Hu Liena's eyes to widen for a moment.

Hu Liena knows this kind of item is rare and hard to buy because there are not many people who could do alchemy, but to think Yunlong would casually throw them like this.

Su Yanyu and her teammates didn't have many words and immediately ate the pill because they know the effect, but the Golden Generation is hesitant.

"He won't do such a trick..." Hu Liena mumbled and quietly ate the pill, which caused her to be surprised because she could feel her spirit energy recovered at a fast rate.

As they recovered their wounds and spirit energy, Yunlong took out the golden spear from the ground and casually rested it on his shoulder.

"Hmm..." Yunlong quietly observed Yan and Xie Yue, who were probably the easiest to provoke.

Yunlong turned around and looked at the rest of the Golden Generation and Tyrants.

"Hey? There is no way six people are enough to defeat me. Why are you dazing around like that? Hurry, enter the stage." He asked with a doubtful tone.

The Tyrants' expression was dark when hearing Yunlong's statement, but the Golden Generation, who knew about him, immediately trembled even more.

As they walked onto the stage, Yunlong also threw Recovery Pills toward them.

Yunlong waited for a few minutes, and each of them was ready for the additional fight.

"Fourteen against Five." Liu Erlong naturally stared at the clearly unbalanced lineups with an amused expression.

Liu Erlong was about to declare the start of the fight, but Yunlong suddenly stopped by aimlessly saying, "Ah, Yes. You don't have to defeat me to win. You only have to touch me. That should be enough."

"What? Are you looking down on us...?!" Yan deeply frowned because he has never heard such an arrogant statement.

Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and responded, "I was giving you a fine handicap."

Liu Erlong shook her head a little and declared, "The additional fight, start!"

The Golden Generation and the Tyrants moved forward toward Yunlong and noticed the girls surrounded him.

"Are you going to hide behind those girls, so you're not a man, huh." Yan mocked Yunlong, but sadly that wasn't enough to provoke him.

Yunlong only shook his head like he didn't care and threw his golden-made spear toward Yan.

Yan hurriedly dodged it and moved forward, but Yunlong suddenly appeared beside him.

"Well, Since you don't want me to hide, I'll grant your wish," Yunlong said while bashing the golden spear toward Yan's stomach.

Bam!

Cough!

Yan gasped immediately because the impact exceeded his physical defense and literally got blown away.

"Moon Slash." Xie Yue threw his moon blade toward Yunlong.

Yunlong slightly leaned his body to dodge and used his golden spear to slap the moon blade.

Clank!

"Moonlight Passion!" Su Yanyu shouted, and a white prison appeared to trap Yunlong.

"You want to use your reflected damages on me?" Yunlong disappeared from their views and landed behind Su Yanyu.

"You should protect yourself instead of trapping me." He commented while also bashing his golden spear on her body.

Bam!

Yunlong's maids dealt with the other, and their enemies were having a hard time because they couldn't see any opening to attack.

Even though Liu Erlong had taught the Tyrants how to defeat and read their enemy's movements, Yunlong's maids were on an entirely different level.

Yu Ning'er glides through her enemies with a sparkle of yellow lightning, and they couldn't handle her at all.

"Lone Wolf." Huang Yuan roared and tried to attack Yu Ning'er, but it was a futile effort.

"Discharge." Yu Ning'er chanted, and a lightning charge exploded.

Boom!

Chu Xiaoyu grasped her sword without any emotion and naturally slashed every attack that pointed toward her.

"Cold Slash." Chu Xiaoyu slashed three people's necks using the back of her sword and made them faint.

Huo Shun frowned because he knows that sword very well and reminded him of a girl he fought in the past.

"D-Don't tell me..." Huo Shun took a step back and saw Chu Xiaoyu intently gazing at him.

"Next..." Chu Xiaoyu moved toward Huo Shun.

"N-Nooo! Don't come closer."

"What's wrong with him?" Bai Xue tilted her head in confusion and slightly shifted her gaze to Ba Jai.

"Toxic Claws." Ba Jai used his spirit skill, and deep purple claws moved their ways toward Bai Xue.

Bai Xue glanced at Ba Jai for a moment and gently snapped her finger, which called out a burning orange flame.

The purple claws touched the flame and burned it to ash, causing Ba Jai's eyes to widen for a second. "Soaring Purple Palm." He used another skill, which made his palm purplish dark.

Bai Xue released a small breath from her mouth, and she lightly clasped her hands together.

Pa!

"I never tried this before, but... Flame Lotus." She mumbled while creating a beautiful flame lotus. "Explosion."

"Wha-."

Boom!

Jiang Zhu, who has healed a few times using her spirit skill, couldn't help but feel this situation out of hand.

"What actually happened here?" She turned around and saw a black-haired girl emerging out of nowhere.

"Sleep." Zhu Zhuqing kicked Jiang Zhu's chin and caused her to feel shaken while her vision quickly became dark.

As Yunlong's maids almost finished the entire team, Yunlong himself looked at the people in front of him with amusement.

Hu Liena was in quite a bad condition because Yunlong won't let her hit him, not even once because he'd slap her with the golden spear.

Su Yanyu's breathing heavily because none of her attacks work against Yunlong.

"I was overestimating my own strength..." She whispered while looking at Yunlong.

Su Yanyu released a sigh and suddenly asked, "...Hey, Foxgirl. I need your help."

"What?" Hu Liena frowned because she didn't like the way Su Yanyu called her.

Su Yanyu quietly told her plan, and Hu Liena frowned a little before nodding her head.

"Let's start..." Su Yanyu slightly fixed her glasses angle and played quite a cold song.

Hu Liena approached her brother and Yan as she wanted to do a spirit fusion again, which left Yunlong speechless.

"Moonlight Breeze." Su Yanyu activated her most powerful technique, which is a combination of all her spirit skills.

A powerful breeze storm suddenly swept over the arena, and clouds revolved in the skies like something big was about to happen.

Hu Liena spirit fusion finished, and the purple-haired woman with a fox mask appeared again on the stage.

"Purple Flame." The fox-masked woman threw the moon blade again to the skies.

"Tempest!" Su Yanyu yelled, and an enormous hurricane descended from the skies.

"Hee..." Yunlong smiled slightly for some reason.

The continuous purple flames hit the wind tornado, which caused an immediate reaction and made the hurricane bigger with a fiery appearance.

The audience couldn't help but be shocked at this scene because how could Yunlong survive such a powerful attack.

Yunlong transformed the golden spear into a sword and slowly entered an Iai stance while closing his eyes.

"Unison Sword..."

"Selfless Sword."

Yunlong slowly moved his sword toward the skies, and a quiet yet unyielded intent came out from his simple slash.

The fiery hurricane attack was definitely violent, which made Yunlong's action look pale compared to it.

"Beautiful..." Bibi Dong quietly commented because every movement Yunlong's made was extremely well-defined like he was in one with his sword.

It happened in a flash, but what came next was literally the most unearthly scene they'd ever see.

A sharp sound echoed in the arena, and the hurricane abruptly disappeared from everyone's view like there was no hurricane from the beginning.

They looked at the skies and noticed the clouds had been severed in half, making warm sunlight descend to the stage.

Yunlong casually put the sword on his shoulder and asked, "Do you want to continue."

Hu Liena's spirit fusion disappeared, and she looked at Yunlong with a wry smile on her face.

She and Su Yanyu looked at each other and weakly shook their heads.

"... We give up."
