Chapter 92: Let Me Enter the Competition?

Good! Good! Good! As long as Yu Xiao Gang is willing to come back, that's fine; even waiting two years wouldn't matter.

Upon hearing the good news Yu Tianyun brought back, Yu Yuanzhen instantly couldn't contain his joy, repeatedly cheering, his face radiating unmistakable happiness.

Seeing his grandfather so delighted, Yu Tianyun explained to him why Yu Xiao Gang would return after two years:

The next continent‑wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will commence in two years; second uncle chose to return after two years because he hopes his disciple can also take part in this competition, and once the tournament ends, he will come back.

Unnoticed, time has truly flown; the Soul Master Tournament organized by the Spirit Hall of the two great empires is about to begin again!

At the mention of it, Yu Yuanzhen squinted, hand on his beard, sighing long:

Alas, each past tournament has produced talent, but the champion is basically always claimed by the Spirit Hall; our Thunder Academy has never secured a single champion to date!

Yu Tianyun also felt deeply helpless about this.

After all, the Spirit Hall virtually recruits nine‑tenths of the Douluo Continent's civilian prodigies, so their participating young Soul Masters are naturally powerful.

There's nothing we can do; after all, they have no sense of pedigree, and their Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect claims to be a sect, but in reality it's just a family.

Suddenly, Yu Yuanzhen's face broke into a strange smile, saying, "Yu Tianyun! How about you also join this tournament, to boost our sect's reputation!"

Yu Tianyun heard this and couldn't help but be surprised, thinking to himself:

"Grandfather, could he be daydreaming again?"

He immediately wore a wry smile and said:

"Grandfather, if I join the Soul Master Tournament, aren't you afraid my Soul Ring configuration will be exposed? It could also invite constant assassinations from the Spirit Hall!"

Yu Yuanzhen still smiled brightly, gently stroking his long beard, and said:

"No need to worry; during the Soul Master Tournament, Grandfather will also go to watch, and then he'll call your father‑in‑law, as well as the old swordsman and the old poison."

"With your father‑in‑law assisting, even if the Spirit Hall dares to send assassins, they'll surely never return."

"With your father‑in‑law's help, even if Qian Daoliu himself arrives, Grandfather can still parry a couple of moves!"

"Moreover, they won't openly tear the face off us; those covert little moves aren't enough to threaten you."

"To successfully assassinate you, they'd have to send a Title Douluo! If they truly dare to dispatch a Title Douluo to kill you, we'll seize the chance to eliminate their Title Douluo, letting them taste pain!"

Yu Tianyun pondered carefully, realizing they were using him as bait, preparing a fishing‑style enforcement; after thorough consideration, this plan might actually succeed.

Given Bi Bi Dong's current strength, even without Ning Fengzhi's assistance, Yu Yuanzhen could still hold his own, and Qian Daoliu cares little about affairs, solely focused on letting Qian Renxue inherit the divine throne.

If this time the Spirit Hall still attempts an assassination, just like the one on Tang San, still sending Gui and Ju, then they'd likely never return.

By then, even if the Spirit Hall erupts in fury and launches a full‑scale war, they still possess some self‑preservation capability.

With Dugubo present, they can dispatch as many Soul Masters below Title Douluo as they wish, and they need not fear the Title Douluo‑ranked Soul Masters.

The Qi Bao Liu Li Sect surely has more than just Ning Fengzhi possessing the Seven‑Treasure Glazed Tower martial soul as a Soul Saint. When the time comes, each of their Title Douluos will be paired one‑to‑one, so even if they're outmatched, the gap won't be huge! Understanding this, Yu Tianyun no longer hesitated, nodded and said, "Alright, Grandfather, I'll join this tournament, but which academy should I enroll in?"

"Our sect has two academies: one is Thunder Academy, and the other is the Blue Overlord Academy founded by your second grandfather's illegitimate daughter Liu Erlong." Mentioning Liu Erlong, Yu Yuanzhen's face showed a hint of unease, but soon returned to normal, evidently recalling his younger son's affairs; after a pause he continued, "Since your elder brother broke through the 50th level, I had him leave the Heavenly Battle Royal Academy, join Thunder Academy, team up with Yu Tianxin, and prepare for this tournament. Do you also want to join?"

"What? My elder brother actually left the Heavenly Battle Royal Academy?"

Yu Tianyun felt a bit puzzled, thinking to himself:

"I didn't expect my elder brother to quit the Heavenly Battle Royal Academy so readily; didn't he object?"

"Could it be that this lifetime his relationship with the Imperial Battle Team members isn't that close?"

"Also, my elder brother is now a Soul King; the gap with others is huge, so it's naturally hard to hang out together, and the lack of closeness is possible."

"Besides, Yan Yan is already my woman; my elder brother has no ties there."

"Fine, never mind. It's good that my elder brother joined Thunder Academy; with his addition and Yu Tianxin, who has taken top‑grade Immortal Herb, Thunder Academy's tournament team will surely surge in strength. Apart from lacking a martial soul fusion technique, their paper strength is not inferior to the Spirit Hall's team."

"But should I also join? Or maybe not; I'm too strong, I don't need teammates, and I won't steal their spotlight!"

Yu Tianyun looked at Yu Yuanzhen and said, "Grandfather, I'll join the Blue Overlord Academy."

Yu Yuanzhen, hearing Yu Tianyun's reply, understood that whichever team Yu Tianyun joins makes little difference; he smiled and said, "Alright, then go register in a few days! If there's nothing else, you can return."

Yu Tianyun, of course, had something, and said awkwardly, "Grandfather, this time I've brought back two granddaughters‑in‑law for you; their identities are a bit problematic."

Yu Yuanzhen replied irritably:

"You stinky brat, every time you go out you flirt and cause trouble, just like your second grandfather! Rest assured, the Star Net Empire doesn't dare act recklessly here; go back."

Yu Tianyun still didn't leave and continued to ask:

"Grandfather, where did my dad and mom go?"

Talking about that, Yu Yuanzhen perked up and laughed, "Xiao Feng and his wife, after taking the Immortal Herb, have advanced their cultivation extremely fast, constantly meditating at the Ice‑Fire Dual‑Eye, and are likely to become Title Douluos within ten years!"

"What?"

Yu Tianyun, hearing the news, was greatly surprised, and then felt happy for his dad and mom; the Immortal Herb truly did not disappoint.

Yu Yuanzhen was even more elated; thinking of his son and daughter‑in‑law soon ascending to Title Douluo, he couldn't help but envision the future prosperity of the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect.

"Five Title Douluos in one lineage? No, Yu Tianyun, Yu Tianheng, and even Yu Tianxin will become Title Douluos in the future! Then there will be eight Title Douluos in one lineage!"

Thinking that, Yu Yuanzhen laughed so hard his mouth couldn't close.

Yu Tianyun also didn't intend to stay and keep the old fool company, and said, "Grandfather, I'm heading back now!"

Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand casually and said, "Hmm, let's go, let's go!"

Immediately, Yu Tianyun turned and left; thinking of the warm, fragrant, soft jade waiting at home, his steps quickened considerably!
