Chapter 235: Humiliating Sa La Si

The more Shui Bing'er ponders, the more she feels this method is feasible. In her view, the method is almost all advantage, with no drawback at all.

That doesn't mean Shui Bing'er is cold‑blooded; although her idea sounds a bit profit‑driven and greedy, it is all based on the fact that Shui Yue'er likes Yu Tianyun.

As long as she doesn't block Shui Yue'er from pursuing Yu Tianyun, she can bring great benefits to herself and the entire Heaven Water Academy, so she feels no mental burden.

As for whether Shui Yue'er can successfully get onto Yu Tianyun's bed, Shui Bing'er thinks the problem is not big.

When this thought surfaced in her mind, she naturally associated it with the women of the Blue Tyrant Academy.

Why does the Blue Tyrant team have only Yu Tianyun as the sole male, while the rest are women? Moreover, each of them is a stunning beauty that overturns all beings.

Obviously, Yu Tianyun is the type who can't keep his legs away from a woman once he sees her—a lecher!

Shui Bing'er is absolutely convinced of this, because it is the "reputation" the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect has built up over millennia.

Everyone in the Blue Electric Tyrannosaur family is notoriously promiscuous; this has become almost a consensus on the continent, and no one doubts it. Shui Bing'er thinks Yu Tianyun is no exception.

Even Shui Bing'er often suspects that her never‑met, scummy father might actually be a member of the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect.

As for the women around Yu Tianyun, Shui Bing'er believes they are all using their bodies to exchange for the treasure that enhances talent.

She doesn't look down on Duguyan and the others; after all, people who will stop at nothing to become stronger are everywhere, and what Duguyan does is no more blameworthy.

She even thinks Huo Wu considered this, which is why she deliberately threw herself into his arms.

But she quickly dismissed that notion.

"Hmph, Huo Wu is so dumb, how could she think of that?"

Huo Wu is certainly not dumb; she's just straightforward.

But the two are fire‑type and ice‑type respectively; as the saying goes, water and fire are compatible. In the Five Elements Academy, the relationship between their Heaven Water Academy and the Blazing Fire Academy is the worst.

Therefore, Shui Bing'er hating Huo Wu is understandable, let alone praising her in her heart.

Nevertheless, Shui Bing'er absolutely will not allow herself to walk that path.

She refuses to become a man's breeding tool, even if Yu Tianyun is the finest man she has ever seen, even if that man once made her cold heart tremble slightly.

Only because the pride in her heart won't allow it! "Sister, have you also set your eyes on Yu Tianyun? Then fine, we sisters won't have to part anymore." The scar‑forgetful Shui Yue'er ran over, slipped her arm around Shui Bing'er's, and said cheerfully.

Shui Bing'er's heart tightened, as if a secret had been shattered, and a flush of redness quietly spread across her pretty face.

But she immediately hardened her expression, shook off Shui Yue'er's arm, and glared at her with fierce eyes, "Is your butt itchy again? I told you not to babble nonsense."

As she said so, Shui Bing'er's palm landed on Shui Yue'er's bouncy, perky butt.

"Ah! Sister, I'm wrong, truly wrong, I won't dare again." Shui Yue'er pleaded while muttering curses under her breath.

"Clearly it's you who keep sneaking peeks at Yu Tianyun—if it's not love, then what? Your face is red and you still won't admit it."

Shui Yue'er feels aggrieved inside, but she won't swallow it; she'll still dare next time!

"Hehe…" Her teammates watched the scene from the side, snickering, and none tried to stop Shui Bing'er.

Even though Shui Yue'er cries pitifully, Shui Bing'er actually didn't exert much force; at most she just made Shui Yue'er's butt a bit higher, which won't affect the upcoming competition.

Moreover, Shui Yue'er is always carefree, often speaking without filter; taking a bit of hardship isn't a bad thing for her.

……

Besides Shui Bing'er constantly watching Yu Tianyun, many other eyes are also fixed on him.

Shui Bing'er can quickly associate that the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect may hide a treasure that enhances talent, and others naturally can think the same.

Among them, many entertained crooked thoughts, but most, after seeing Yu Yuanzhen on the VIP seat, decisively suppressed the notion.

The Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect is not something these small‑time folks can afford to provoke.

And even if it's Yu Tianyun himself, they must weigh whether they are his opponent.

After all, only Soul Masters whose soul‑power cultivation exceeds that of a Soul Emperor dare claim they can have the advantage against a Blue Electric Tyrannosaur Soul Master.

And those confident they can subdue Yu Tianyun must also consider their own families; offending the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect for such a treasure—whether it's worth it—makes most people only glance once and lose interest.

Only a tiny minority—wild Soul Saints, Soul Commandos without family ties, and the "big figure" Sa La Si with a Spirit Hall background—still cling to a sliver of hope.

Sa La Si is not only coveting the mysterious treasure that can boost talent; he also intends to eliminate Yu Tianyun, the women of the Blue Tyrant Academy, and the Thunder Academy's Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, even the entire Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect! His mood is now heavy, for if the talents of Yu Tianyun and his companions develop, they will pose a huge threat to his Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall may in the future lose its transcendent status in the Soul Master World, and, more severely, could be destroyed because of it.

However, what Sa La Si finds both strange and fortunate is why Yu Yuanzhen doesn't let Yu Tianyun, Duguyan and the others form a team at Thunder Academy, but instead establishes a team at the Blue Tyrant Academy.

The Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect clearly has the ability to assemble an invincible squad of two Soul Emperors, three Soul Kings, and two Soul Ancestors to sweep all opponents and claim the championship.

Thinking of that lineup makes Sa La Si's scalp tingle.

If that were the case, the Spirit Hall would likely lose all face in this tournament.

It would probably take less than a minute to annihilate the Spirit Hall team built by the Golden Generation.

At the same time, Sa La Si is relieved that these people were split into two teams.

Especially Yu Tianyun's team: two Soul Emperors and one Soul King, which under normal circumstances would still pose a huge threat to the Spirit Hall team. Yet Yu Tianyun dares to say that from now on he will compete alone, which lets Sa La Si breathe a sigh of relief.

He doesn't believe that three Soul Kings plus four Soul Ancestors can't beat a single Soul Emperor; even if that Emperor is a bit unorthodox, he knows Saintess Hu Liena and Xie Yue possess Spirit Fusion techniques, making a victory over Yu Tianyun almost certain.

Thus, now only Thunder Academy poses any threat to the Spirit Hall team, and even that is minor.

Although he sees that Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianyun's soul‑power levels surpass those of the Golden Generation, especially Yu Tianheng, whose Soul Power Fluctuation is nearly at Soul Emperor level.

But likewise, the Spirit Hall team has the Spirit Fusion technique as a trump card; in his view, as long as they proceed cautiously, taking Thunder Academy is easy.

However, Sa La Si doesn't care much about who claims this tournament's championship.

To those of them in high positions, the tournament is indeed important, but essentially it's just a platform for selecting fresh blood and a means to boost reputation.

His only worry now is how to eliminate Yu Tianyun and the others; he cannot let them continue to grow, especially Yu Tianyun, who already shows some signs of power, and must not be allowed to keep developing.

He guesses that Yu Tianyun has retained some forces; if he fully unleashes, he would briefly rival a Soul Saint‑level powerhouse.

Thinking of this, Sa La Si's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of murderous intent.

"Sa La Si, if you want to die, I'll grant it!" Yet at that moment, Yu Yuanzhen sensed Sa La Si's subtle murderous intent.

He narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze fixed on Sa La Si, warning, "Anyone who dares to strike Tianyun meets only death! Moreover, whoever attacks Tianyun, you will be the first to die, even Bi Bi Dong can't save you!"

Yu Yuanzhen turned his head away, no longer looking at him, but his cold voice rang again, "Go back and tell Bi Bi Dong to behave, or else… hum!"

With a cold snort, Yu Yuanzhen's level‑98 overwhelming aura burst forth, and the air itself stilled.

Under his precise control, Snow Night Emperor, Ning Fengzhi and the others were unaffected, while on the other side Sa Lasi was pressed so hard that his bones emitted a sour‑tooth sound, his once rosy old face turned the color of pork liver, and his whole body became like a statue, unable to move at all.

However, Sa Lasi was not truly unable to move; he simply dared not.

Yu Yuanzhen was strong, but he was only using his aura to suppress him; if Sa Lasi unleashed his full power as a Soul Douluo, he could actually break free.

But that would change the nature entirely! Yu Yuanzhen is only giving him a small lesson now, not tearing off his mask. Yet if Sa Lasi resorts to his martial soul, it would mean a total turn of face, and the situation would further escalate.

Leaving aside how massive a war the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect and the Spirit Hall might launch, one thing is certain: Sa Lasi would be crushed to death instantly.

"Truly overconfident!" Dugubo and Chen Xin, standing nearby, gave him a cold glance.

A tiny Soul Douluo daring to show murderous intent under the very eyes of a Super Douluo? How contemptuous of the Super Douluo's perception!

One really cannot tell whether he is truly ignorant or simply accustomed to arrogance under the Spirit Hall's protection.

Seeing Sa Lasi in such a pitiful state, Snow Night Emperor felt an immense exhilaration, the pleasure surging in his heart like a raging tide, and he even wanted to let out a sky‑piercing howl.

Though Snow Night Emperor, as the sovereign of the Heaven Dou Empire, ought to wield power over the world and be revered, reality left him full of frustration and powerless.

It was one thing to be despised by the Pope and the heads of the three upper sects, but this tiny Soul Douluo could stand on equal footing with him and constantly mock him—a disgrace beyond words.

Now Yu Yuanzhen had at least vented some of his bitterness, dispersing much of the gloom in his chest.

However, he quickly suppressed that feeling, for the Heaven Dou Empire truly could not afford to offend the Spirit Hall.

Snow Night Emperor smiled and said, "Yu Sect Master, Bishop Sa Lasi's mistake was unintentional; let us spare him this time."

"Since His Majesty has spoken, we shall spare him," Yu Yuanzhen replied, too lazy to argue; his maneuver was not aimed at Sa Lasi but to use the occasion to intimidate those rogue scoundrels.

Although he was not worried about Yu Tianyun's safety, a bright spear is easy to dodge while a hidden arrow is hard to guard against; who knows what underhanded tricks the ill‑intenteds might employ! His Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect was powerful, yet not every member was a Title Douluo; there were many elders, women, children, and the weak.

The strength of these people was not great, making it hard to say they would not fall victim to a plot.

Though the Blue Electric Tyrannosaur Weapon Soul was mighty, birthing offspring was difficult. Yu Yuanzhen cared for every clan member, especially his frail son; he did not wish for Yu Xiao Gang to encounter any mishap.

Now Snow Night Emperor spoke again, offering a token of face; then he turned and said, "Sa Lasi, His Majesty intercedes on your behalf; why don't you kneel and give thanks?"

"You…" Sa Lasi, his face flushed red and ears burning with anger, was one of the Spirit Hall's two platinum bishops, beneath the Pope and the Elders yet above ten thousand people, his rank only half a level below the emperors of the two great empires. Yu Yuanzhen actually made him kneel? That was an enormous insult to the Spirit Hall!

Just as he was about to shout something like "A warrior may be killed but not insulted", Yu Yuanzhen's aura suddenly surged without warning, crushing the seat beneath him into powder, and his knees slammed hard onto the floor, leaving two spider‑web‑shaped dents under his knees.

Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen only then withdrew his oppressive aura.

The pressure on Sa Lasi suddenly lightened, and he gulped breath after breath.

His eyes were rimmed with blood vessels; he gave Yu Yuanzhen a sinister glance, then, unwillingly to Snow Night Emperor, said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness."

Now that matters had come to this, he had already been humiliated; if he turned hostile now, he would undoubtedly sacrifice himself in vain, so he chose to bow his head.

"Hmph!" After saying that, Sa Lasi cast a vengeful glance at the few people, let out a cold snort, and swept his sleeves to depart.

"Eh? What kind of look is that, old fellow? A mere Soul Douluo daring to be so arrogant before this Super Douluo of mine?" Dugubo, displeased with Sa Lasi, rolled up his sleeve and poised to unleash poison.

"Old poison! You really intend to start a war with the Spirit Hall?" Yu Yuanzhen hurriedly stepped in front of Dugubo, transmitting his voice, "I was only trying to scare him; confronting the Spirit Hall now would bring no benefit!"

Hearing Qian Daoliu mentioned, Dugubo instantly calmed down.

That was a peerless champion famed across the continent since his youth, one of the two peaks of the Soul Master World, a level‑99 extraordinary Douluo.

He had also heard from Chen Xin of Qian Daoliu's might; even as a Super Douluo now, he was not a match for Qian Daoliu.

Yu Yuanzhen continued transmitting, "Even if I faced Qian Daoliu, I would need assistance from Feng Zhi to hold him off a bit. Once Yu Tianyun matures further, we won't have to appease the Spirit Hall any longer. Soon, when Yu Tianyun breaks through the Soul Douluo stage, things will be almost settled."
