Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 144: Zhu Zhuqing Joins the Blue Tyrant Battle Team
Chapter 144 - 144: Zhu Zhuqing Joins the Blue Tyrant Battle Team
"Yesterday, when... my father left, I was with Teacher Gu the entire time. She doesn't know anything."
Yu Yuanzhen listened to Liu Erlong's words and let out a cold snort.
His niece showed no sorrow over her father's death; instead, she was even defending this so-called Teacher Gu.
And Ning Fengzhi—he was also siding with this Teacher Gu.
Even if Yu Luomian was indeed in the wrong, the dead should be respected!
As his elder brother, Yu Yuanzhen was determined to investigate thoroughly and seek justice for Yu Luomian!
"Lead the way!" Yu Yuanzhen ordered coldly.
Liu Erlong then led the group toward the training grounds of the Genius Class.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the entrance.
Inside, the Genius Class members were just about to start their training. Gu Yuena was introducing Zhu Zhuqing to them.
Liu Erlong pointed to Gu Yuena in the distance and said,"That's Teacher Gu. She is a very good person. She was with me all day yesterday and had no time to harm my father..."
Liu Erlong was secretly worried. If Yu Yuanzhen insisted on barging in, she wouldn't be able to stop him. That would be unfair to Teacher Gu.
If Teacher Gu left because of this, then Lan Ba Academy would fall before it could even rise.
To be honest, Liu Erlong didn't feel much grief over Yu Luomian's death.
She anxiously looked at Yu Yuanzhen, standing sideways to block the entrance.
She had made up her mind—if Yu Yuanzhen insisted on going in, she would stand in his way no matter what!
However, Yu Yuanzhen did not move.
At first glance, when he saw Gu Yuena, he was instantly reminded of that terrifying night when she had completely overpowered him—when he was on the verge of death.
Although she had hidden her appearance back then, the moment he saw her now, that innate fear surged forth.
At that moment, he realized—Gu Yuena was the very same fearsome beast that had left him trembling.
Back then, even as a team of multiple Title Douluo, they had been utterly dominated by her.
If he dared to rush forward alone now, he would undoubtedly be killed!
Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Ning Fengzhi, his gaze complicated.
Now, he finally understood Ning Fengzhi's intentions.
He wasn't favoring the other party—he was simply afraid Yu Yuanzhen would get himself killed!
"Uncle...?" Liu Erlong hesitantly called out.
Yu Yuanzhen was silent for a moment before asking in a strained voice, "Are you sure she never left your side?"
"Of course! I was with Teacher Gu the whole time! I was even worried my father might try to harm her!" Liu Erlong explained urgently.
Yu Yuanzhen let out a sigh of relief. He didn't even dare to imagine—if the one responsible for his brother's death was Gu Yuena, what could he possibly do?
Just then, Gu Yuena seemed to notice their gazes. She glanced over—just a calm, indifferent look.
Liu Erlong nodded slightly as a greeting.
Ning Fengzhi smiled warmly, unaffected.
Yu Yuanzhen, however, instantly broke into a cold sweat. A suffocating sense of threat loomed over him, directed at him alone.
He swallowed hard. Even his top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, felt an overwhelming sense of fear at this moment.
He didn't even dare to meet her gaze directly. Lowering his head, he turned around and left.
"Uncle...?"
Liu Erlong was stunned. She followed him, looking at him in confusion.
So... was he going to let Teacher Gu off the hook?
She was afraid that Yu Yuanzhen might try to attack Gu Yuena when she wasn't around.
Ning Fengzhi stopped Liu Erlong with a smile and said,"Dean Liu, there's no need to follow him. It's over."
"Huh? Uncle won't cause trouble for Teacher Gu anymore?"
Liu Erlong looked at Ning Fengzhi skeptically. How could he be so sure?
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "He won't. You can rest easy."
What a joke. Unless Yu Yuanzhen wanted to bring the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to its doom, how could he possibly dare to go against Gu Yuena?
Liu Erlong patted her chest in relief. Now she was truly at ease.
Meanwhile, Yu Yuanzhen quickly made his way back to the entrance of the Academy.
Recalling Gu Yuena's casual glance, he was filled with terror—he had genuinely felt as if he were going to die in that instant.
Fortunately, Gu Yuena had not taken further action. Otherwise, as the only Title Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he might have died right there!
"At least it wasn't her who killed my brother..."
"What kind of beast is she? Why does she give me such immense pressure? I actually felt like I was facing death itself."
The more Yu Yuanzhen thought about it, the more unsettled he became.

Still lost in thought, he returned to his clan members.
"Master!"
"Your face looks terrible! Did you find any leads?"
"We must avenge the Second Master!"
The clan's soul masters all turned to him.
Yu Yuanzhen's lips moved slightly before he said in a deep voice,"No leads. Leave for now. From now on, no one is to enter this Academy without Erlong's permission."
With that, Yu Yuanzhen hurriedly left.
The soul masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan looked at each other in confusion.
Yu Yuanzhen's drastic shift in attitude left them completely baffled.
What exactly had happened in there?
At the training grounds.
Gu Yuena pushed Zhu Zhuqing forward and said,"Starting today, she will also be part of the Genius Class and serve as the captain of the Blue Tyrant Battle Team... Her name is Zhu Zhuqing."
Just like that, Gu Yuena had made Zhu Zhuqing the captain.
The Genius Class students were all utterly shocked.
The members of the Lan Ba Battle Team were even more confused. Zhu Zhuqing's addition meant that one of the main team members would have to become a substitute!
They had just defeated the Thunderclap Battle Team and were feeling proud. How could they accept this arrangement?
However, Tai Long, the current captain, showed no hesitation and immediately said loudly,"If Teacher Gu says so, then that's how it is!"
"Do you really think we won that fight on our own? Without Teacher Gu, would we even have the strength we do now?!"
Tai Long firmly stood by Gu Yuena's decision—an exemplary loyal follower.
The Lan Ba Battle Team members immediately fell silent.
They were all well aware of Gu Yuena's immense contributions—she was their greatest benefactor!
Gu Yuena smiled faintly and said,"You don't need to worry. Zhu Zhuqing is our hidden trump card. She will only step in when you cannot defeat your opponents."
"With her here, you will never lose. Because, even if you all work together, you are no match for her."
Gu Yuena spoke casually.
"!!!" The Genius Class students were stunned.
To say that Zhu Zhuqing was stronger than any of them individually was one thing, but to say she was stronger than all of them combined—wasn't that too much of an insult?
Their faces flushed red with frustration, but none of them dared to voice their objections.
Gu Yuena continued,"Zhu Zhuqing is twelve years old. Her Martial Soul is the Netherworld Cat, and she is a Rank 38 Soul Elder."
"!!!"
The scene exploded.
Twelve years old!!!
That was six or seven years younger than most of them!
Yet her soul power was undoubtedly the highest among them all!
With such talent, they could only dream of catching up.
Tai Long, who had initially felt a bit wronged, now completely accepted it. Handing over the captain's position suddenly felt entirely reasonable!
First of all, Zhu Zhuqing was a beautiful young girl, graceful and elegant, and men were naturally inclined to favor her.
And now, she turned out to be such a genius that they all wished they could turn into flies just to hover around her. How could they possibly have any objections?
But Gu Yuena wasn't done with them yet. She said,"You think that just because you've trained for a few days, you've made great progress? That my words earlier were exaggerated? Now, right here on this field, you can fight Zhu Zhuqing in any way you want, whether through teamwork or individual combat. As long as you can defeat her."
As she spoke, Gu Yuena patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder.
"!!!"
The talented students of the class were completely dumbfounded.
They had already accepted Zhu Zhuqing as the captain of the Blue Tyrant team, so why was this happening now?
If Zhu Zhuqing won, then their pride would truly be trampled into the dust!
"Teacher Gu... this... this is just too outrageous!"
"These kids even have a soul power fusion technique! Even a Soul King might end up losing!"
Liu Erlong walked over at this moment. Hearing Gu Yuena's words, she hesitantly tried to dissuade her.
Gu Yuena replied, "You'll only know if you try. Zhu Zhuqing, do you have confidence?"
"I will do my best," Zhu Zhuqing nodded and replied.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's cold expression, showing no worry at all and not even attempting to refuse, Liu Erlong was a bit dumbfounded.
It was one thing for Gu Yuena to be so confident, but why was this young girl acting the same way?
"Give them the arena," Gu Yuena said calmly, leading Liu Erlong back a hundred meters.
Liu Erlong followed her, opening her mouth several times as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end, she said nothing.
"Begin!" Gu Yuena suddenly shouted.
Liu Erlong was startled and quickly looked toward the arena.
All thirty students in the elite class had released their martial souls—they were all holding in their frustration!
A twelve-year-old girl was supposedly stronger than all of them combined? That was too much!
Meanwhile, the Blue Tyrant team stood in the middle of the field, preparing to unleash their soul power fusion technique.
Then, something astonishing happened to Liu Erlong.
After Zhu Zhuqing activated her Martial Soul Possession, she began to move—despite only being a Soul Elder, her speed surpassed that of a Soul Ancestor!
She was too fast! Like a black shadow weaving through the crowd.
Many students didn't even dare to attack, afraid they might accidentally harm their teammates.
This gave Zhu Zhuqing the perfect opportunity to strike.
She was like a ghost, vanishing and reappearing at will. Every time she flickered, it meant another student was eliminated.
A few minutes later, more than half of the students had already been defeated.
They left the field, heads hanging in disappointment.
Liu Erlong watched in amazement. In such a short time, Zhu Zhuqing had already taken down half of the elite class?
However, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't relying on sheer strength. If someone of the same level, like Yu Tianheng, were in her place, he wouldn't have achieved the same results.
What Zhu Zhuqing relied on was speed! Agility!
Liu Erlong exclaimed in shock, "Teacher Gu, where did you find such a talented student? With this level of talent at her age, she's almost certain to become a Title Douluo in the future!"
Gu Yuena replied, "She is my husband's disciple."
"!!!"
Hearing this, Liu Erlong instantly felt an overwhelming sense of envy.
To become Dan Heng's disciple and achieve such incredible results...
If only their Blue Tyrant Academy had successfully recruited him back then, wouldn't they now have many young geniuses like Zhu Zhuqing?
For a moment, Liu Erlong felt such deep regret that it was hard to breathe.
She felt like she had lost too much!
Not gaining was the same as losing!
"Um, about your... husband..." Liu Erlong awkwardly tried to probe, hoping to recruit more talents.
Gu Yuena's eyes changed slightly. "Hmm?"
Liu Erlong immediately patted her own mouth and said sheepishly, "I misspoke, I misspoke. Teacher Gu, does your husband have any other disciples?"
"No, just her. But she alone is enough," Gu Yuena said indifferently.
With Zhu Zhuqing's relentless training regimen, in two or three years, she could probably reach the Soul King or even Soul Emperor level.
By then, in the Soul Master Tournament, she would absolutely dominate!
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Liu Erlong still felt some regret. But after thinking for a moment, she smiled and said,"In two or three days, the Blazing Fire Academy will be arriving. We'll definitely give them a big surprise!"
Gu Yuena shook her head. "No, it's not necessary for Zhu Zhuqing to fight them yet."
"Huh?"
Liu Erlong was slightly stunned. If Zhu Zhuqing didn't participate, then they would probably lose.
The Blue Tyrant team had managed to defeat the Thunderclap team mainly because of their unexpected soul power fusion technique.
But that liquid conduction trick had forced the Blue Tyrant team to act cautiously—it wouldn't work against the Blazing Fire Academy.
Gu Yuena glanced at her and said, "Losing to an elemental academy—what's so surprising about that?"
"..."
Liu Erlong scratched her face. That actually made sense.
She had gotten carried away after beating the Thunderclap Academy.
Gu Yuena then asked, "Your emotions were a bit off earlier. What happened?"
Liu Erlong hesitated for a moment before explaining,"...To be honest, I have no emotional attachment to that scumbag father of mine. When my mother was sick and dying, he never showed up. Then, when he finally did, he destroyed my happiness."
"The way he was, you know—I don't hold much feeling about it. And I know it wasn't you who did it."
"My eldest uncle came by earlier—he's the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He wanted to ask you about the situation, but I convinced him to leave. Don't worry, he won't trouble you."
Liu Erlong reassured her awkwardly.
Gu Yuena frowned slightly. She had found Yu Luomian unpleasant, but she hadn't had the chance to kill him.
Striking at this time would only make people suspicious of her husband.
Yet, now he was dead...
"Was it that woman, Zi Ji?" Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes, quickly deducing the truth.
At that moment, the battle on the field came to an end.
Even with their soul power fusion technique, the Blue Tyrant team had lost—utterly and completely.
All thirty students looked utterly defeated, sinking into a state of self-doubt.
Zhu Zhuqing walked up to Gu Yuena. "Teacher..."
Liu Erlong was overjoyed. "Amazing! Zhu Zhuqing, from now on, the Blue Tyrant Academy is your home!"

Moon Pavilion.
Tang Xiao had just returned and found Tang Yuehua practicing the zither.
Tang Yuehua paused her playing and turned her head to glance at Tang Xiao. She sighed helplessly,"Big brother, why don't you ever use the door? You're going to break that window soon."
Tang Xiao glanced at the windowsill. A large black footprint was stamped on it.
"Haha... Yuehua, I came because there's something important, and I need your help."
"What is it?"
Tang Yuehua asked curiously.
Tang Xiao said,"The second head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is dead. This morning, their main head stormed into the Blue Tyrant Academy, but he left shortly after, looking very unsettled. I need you to investigate."
"Alright, alright... but big brother, have you found that person yet?"
Tang Yuehua asked.
"...Give me a few more days... just a few more days..."
