Chapter 103: Fire Dance Blocks the Way.
Ye Xuanming calmly looked out the window; the night was deep.
"Since they want to muddy the water, then we'll boil it."
"Boil the water?"
Gu Rong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ye Xuanming meant.
"Kid, stop keeping me in suspense."
Ye Xuanming slowly opened his mouth:
"This time, we are representing the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and the Heavenly Dou Empire to conduct inter-academy exchanges."
"Five Soul Warriors intercepted and killed a team representing the Empire within its territory."
"This basin of water will naturally boil once it is poured into the fire basin of the Heavenly Dou royal family."
Gu Rong's brows furrowed at first, then relaxed.
"right!"
He chuckled, the sound echoing throughout the room.
"We were just doing our job, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are bandits who are trying to ambush us!"
"So what if they're dead and can't prove anything? They sent five Soul Douluos, are they here to see us off?"
Dugu Bo snorted from the side.
"The Heavenly Dou Royal Family?"
That old man from Xueye wouldn't necessarily break ties with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects, just for a few juniors.
"He will."
Ye Xuanming put down his teacup.
"Because His Highness the Crown Prince and I have a good relationship."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room subtly shifted once again.
Chenxin and Gurong exchanged an expression that only they could understand.
Prince Xue Qinghe.
They naturally knew about this crown prince.
They just didn't expect that Ye Xuanming had already made contact with the future heir to the royal family.
"Kid, you're pretty good."
Gu Rong's large, rough hand patted Ye Xuanming's shoulder.
"They've got some pretty wild methods."
Ning Rongrong was unhappy about it.
"Grandpa Bones, be gentle! What if you break it!"
"Don't worry, Xuanming is a sturdy kid." Gu Rong withdrew his hand without a care.
"With the Heavenly Dou Royal Family involved, plus our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and even the old poison master like you..."
Gu Rong looked at Dugu Bo.
"Even if that old dragon doesn't want to admit it, it has no choice but to accept it."
Dugu Bo's expression was not good, mainly because he still owed Xue Xing a favor, and Xue Xing and Xue Qinghe were not in the same faction.
"I never said I wanted to get involved in your affairs."
"Grandpa Dugu," Ye Xuanming began.
"Sister Yanzi was also one of the targets of the attack. Can you really stay out of it?"
Dugu Bo's face twitched.
Ye Xuanming added further.
"Besides, wouldn't it be interesting to make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lose face and bleed a little?"
Dugu Bo fell silent.
He recalled the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's usual domineering ways, and then thought about how he could make that old guy Yu Yuanzhen suffer, so his reluctance dissipated.
"Alright!" Gu Rong declared decisively.
"That's settled! I'll go back to Tiandou City with Chenxin, find Fengzhi, and then we'll go to the palace together to 'reason' with that old guy Xueye!"
"No." Chen Xin shook her head.
Chen Xin looked at Ye Xuanming.
"You continue with your itinerary."
"We'll handle the rest."
Chen Xin's meaning was clear: Ye Xuanming and the others did not need to go back or show their faces.
They simply need to continue with the original plan and challenge the next college.
The bigger the commotion they make, the stronger the reason for the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to attack the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School.
"With us following behind, you can keep making a fuss, the sky won't fall down," Gu Rong added.
The matter was settled.
Chenxin and Gurong didn't linger. After instructing Ning Rongrong to be careful, their figures faded away from the room.
Dugu Bo also took a deep look at Dugu Yan and Ye Xuanming before disappearing from the spot.
The three titled Douluo arrived quickly and left just as quickly.
Wow! Brother Xuanming, you're amazing!
Ning Rongrong's face was full of admiration.
"Even Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone will listen to you!"
"I was just making a suggestion," Ye Xuanming replied calmly.
Dugu Yan walked to his side and leaned against the wall.
"Did you plan all of this from the very beginning?"
"I just wanted to fish, I didn't expect to catch a shark." Ye Xuanming did not deny it.
Oslow and the Shi brothers exchanged glances, both seeing lingering fear in each other's reactions.
They then realized that this so-called "challenge tour" was nothing short of dancing on a knife's edge.
"Then... shall we still go?" Shi Mo asked.
"Go, why don't you go?"
Ning Rongrong eagerly answered.
"Let everyone see just how shameless the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan can be!"
Ye Xuanming patted Shi Mo on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, it will be safe from now on."
...
The next morning, the group left the town and boarded the carriage again for Blazing City.
After what happened last night, the atmosphere inside the carriage was completely different from before.
Oslow, Yufeng, and the Shi brothers were noticeably more silent, realizing the enormous gap between themselves and the top powers.
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan seemed quite excited, eager to see how the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would react next.
Ye Lingling remained quietly seated in the corner, only occasionally handing Ye Xuanming a cup of hot tea.
The carriage traveled smoothly on the official road.
Two days later, a city entirely built of red rock appeared at the edge of the horizon.
That is the City of Blazing Fire.
The whole city was sweltering, and even the air seemed drier than elsewhere.
However, when their carriage was still several miles from the city gate, a group of people blocked their way.
The leader was a girl, who looked to be about the same age as Dugu Yan.
She wore a fiery red outfit that accentuated her beautiful figure, and her long, red hair was tied into a high ponytail, making her look like a burning flame.
Behind the girl were six young men, each with a powerful presence.
"Stop the car," Ye Xuanming said to the driver.
The carriage slowly came to a stop.
Ye Xuanming stepped down from the carriage first, followed by Ning Rongrong and the others.
The girl in red looked Ye Xuanming up and down.
"You are Ye Xuanming?" The girl's voice was clear and crisp, with an undisguised arrogance.
"It's me."
"My name is Huo Wu," the girl introduced herself. "I'm the captain of the Blazing Fire Academy team."
The six people behind her were the main team members of the Blazing Academy team.
"We have received your challenge letter."
Huo Wu continued, "However, there's no need to wait until we get to the academy."
"We have already witnessed your strength at Thunder Academy."
Huo Wu's gaze swept over the soul ring configurations of Ye Xuanming and the other three, and a hint of seriousness appeared on her face.
"I admit, you guys are strong."
"But our Blazing Academy is not a piece of trash like Thunder Academy."
Huo Wu took a step forward, and her soul power began to surge.
"Ye Xuanming, why don't we settle this with one move!"
