After effortlessly completing his mission, Lu Yunzhou took a moment to observe his surroundings. His gaze settled on the Soul King-level man nearby—a hefty figure who had earlier shown hostility. A mischievous grin spread across Lu Yunzhou's face; his instinct for revenge was undeniable.
At that moment, a powerful, ocean-like Spiritual Energy emanated from Lu Yunzhou, creating an overwhelming aura. The pressure was intense—so much so that those around him felt as if they were facing a mythical beast of ancient times. Naturally, when the Soul King finally noticed Lu Yunzhou's unblinking stare, terror spread across his face, his confidence crumbling instantly.
Seconds passed, and the Soul King, Wang Defa, found himself trembling under the pressure. Swallowing nervously, he stammered, "W-what…what do you want? I…I'll have you know I'm from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect… If you dare touch me, our clan… our clan won't spare you! The strength of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect… surely, you know it…so think carefully."
Lu Yunzhou's smile widened as he responded, "Are you threatening me?"
Nearby, Liu Erlong stood frozen, stunned by the scene unfolding before her. After witnessing Lu Yunzhou's overwhelming strength, she felt a deep shame at her previous behavior. She had dismissed him as a fool and even flaunted her own Soul Saint-level abilities in front of him. But now, realizing she had been so ignorant, she felt a pang of embarrassment.
Beyond her guilt, Liu Erlong found herself puzzled. When Lu Yunzhou attacked, there hadn't been the slightest ripple of soul power around him, nor any appearance of soul rings, even when he called down that ominous, sword-shaped black lightning. How could this be?
In Douluo Continent, every Soul Master's action—be it casting a soul skill, striking an enemy, or defending—was intricately connected to their soul power. And yet, Lu Yunzhou had hurled a massive boulder without the faintest hint of soul power, even summoning that dark thunder with no detectable energy. Just what kind of power was he wielding?
Liu Erlong found only one plausible explanation: Lu Yunzhou was simply too powerful. His might surpassed their comprehension, making it impossible for an ordinary Soul Master to sense his energy fluctuations. Resolving her own doubts, she firmly concluded, "Yes, he's just too strong. I couldn't sense his intent because he's on a different level altogether."
"But…how strong is he?" she wondered, her curiosity piqued. "Could he be a Peak Douluo…or perhaps a rare Super Douluo?"
As she pondered this, the Soul King Wang Defa continued, "I… I'm not threatening you. I'm merely stating a fact… The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has two Titled Douluos. If you kill me, you'll make an enemy of the entire clan, including the two esteemed elders—"
Before he could finish, a flash of light streaked across the scene as a long sword pierced his head, leaving him wide-eyed and lifeless.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? Nothing but ants to me," Lu Yunzhou scoffed, disdainfully muttering as he retracted his weapon—a rusty sword that was both his natal treasure and Martial Spirit.
The crowd around them, having witnessed the swift, merciless kill, broke into hushed discussions.
"Who is he to not fear the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, one of the wealthiest and most powerful clans?"
"I have no idea, but he must be something extraordinary."
"To dismiss the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect so casually, doesn't he know they're guarded by Dustheart, the continent's greatest swordsman and a Peak Douluo? He's far too arrogant!"
"He should know the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the only clan with two Titled Douluos. Acting this recklessly is insane!"
"And their clan leader, Ning Fengzhi, is the continent's premier support-type Soul Master. This man dares look down on them? Then… what does he think of us?"
A few spectators swallowed hard, some of them now deeply regretting their earlier insults toward Lu Yunzhou.
On the other side of the crowd, Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long, disguised as a carriage driver, couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine. He understood better than anyone the power of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Even just Bone Douluo Gu Rong was enough to make Yu Long wary, not to mention Dustheart, the sword prodigy. Yet in Lu Yunzhou's eyes, they seemed worthless.
"Just who is he?" Yu Long thought, barely concealing his shock. "To risk offending the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he must have a powerful background…"
Watching Lu Yunzhou with a thoughtful expression, Qian Renxue, hidden inside the carriage, carefully lifted the curtain to get a better look at him. His face was elegant and composed, his aura awe-inspiring. Her mind raced as she considered, "If we could recruit him, the success of Spirit Hall's grand plan would be all but guaranteed."
Listening to the murmurs around him, Lu Yunzhou spoke again, his voice dismissive, "You all are nothing more than frogs at the bottom of a well, trapped in your limited worldview. As for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect… they're utterly insignificant."
He paused, smiling as he added, "And that Dustheart, the so-called greatest swordsman? To me, he's no more than a novice just entering the path of the sword."
Though Lu Yunzhou was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his confidence remained unshaken. After all, what was a little flair without a bit of bravado?
At his words, everyone fell silent, their faces a mixture of disbelief and fear. Even Qian Renxue and Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long couldn't hide their surprise.
Liu Erlong, in particular, found herself overwhelmed. She knew exactly who Dustheart was—Douluo Continent's first sword master, a man of unmatched renown. Yet Lu Yunzhou called him a mere novice? She could hardly believe her ears.
