Chapter 10: Xue Tianyu Becomes a Titled Douluo! The Beginning of Revenge!

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The three thugs screamed in agony simultaneously.

Their ridiculous expressions made Qian Renxue chuckle despite herself.

The flush of alcohol on her cheeks made her look even more stunning.

"You dare hit us?! Do you even know who runs this street?!"

One of the thugs glared at Xue Tianyu, baring his teeth in a menacing threat.

"Sigh… I guess I didn't hit hard enough."

Xue Tianyu flicked his wrist, and before the three thugs could even register his movements, both of their arms were snapped.

"No matter who runs this street, they can't save you," Xue Tianyu said coldly, his voice carrying an eerie chill as if it came from the depths of the underworld. "If you don't want to die, then scram!"

These thugs were only used to bullying the weak, relying on weapons to lord over the common folk. Even against ordinary Soul Masters, they would immediately back down. Now, feeling the terrifying aura from Xue Tianyu, their faces turned pale, and they fled in panic.

The entire tavern erupted into applause.

"Didn't expect you to be this strong." Qian Renxue smiled slightly, her opinion of this young man rising considerably.

"They were just some lowly thugs. You could have handled them too," Xue Tianyu replied with a casual smile.

The more Qian Renxue looked at him, the more she found him pleasant to the eye.

The incident with those troublemakers had sobered her up quite a bit.

She was surprised at herself—she rarely had the urge to confide in others.

Thinking back on it, despite still feeling intoxicated, she was in control of her body again.

She placed a Spirit Hall Thousand-Token Order on the table, stood up, and said, "Let's be friends. You can come find me at Spirit Hall anytime."

Xue Tianyu accepted the token with a nod.

Qian Renxue smiled and walked away, still slightly tipsy.

…

Once he sensed that Qian Renxue was far away, Xue Tianyu let out a silent breath of relief.

For a moment, he thought she had recognized him.

Thankfully, Bibi Dong must not have told her she had a son.

After meeting Qian Renxue in person, Xue Tianyu's resolve only strengthened.

He had to train harder and avenge himself against Bibi Dong!

The most important thing now was to at least reach Titled Douluo level!

Only then could he confront Bibi Dong and make her regret every sin she had committed!

She loved Yu Xiaogang, didn't she?

Then he would make sure Yu Xiaogang died right before her eyes!

And she would be utterly powerless to stop it, unable to do anything no matter how much she struggled!

That would be the price she paid for abandoning him, for neglecting both him and Qian Renxue!

Oh, and for trying to strangle him to death!

Bibi Dong, just wait!

Xue Tianyu left the tavern, tracked down the three thugs, and dealt with them cleanly.

No loose ends.

…

Morning.

Qian Renxue woke up in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Her hangover had completely faded by now.

She recalled the young man she had met at the old tavern the previous night.

Such a familiar feeling…

She had to find out who he was!

So, she immediately disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and ordered an investigation.

As expected, with "Xue Qinghe" making the request, the efficiency was incredibly high. In less than half a day, she had the young man's identity report in hand.

"He's the only male student at Tianshui Academy?"

Qian Renxue was slightly surprised.

She never even knew Tianshui Academy had male students.

That young man had given her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and she couldn't resist the urge to meet him again.

After all, she had never felt this way about anyone before.

But she knew she had to be extremely careful—she couldn't let this young man realize her identity as Xue Qinghe.

This was a major operation of Spirit Hall, and she couldn't afford any mistakes.

After much deliberation, Qian Renxue decided that she would frequently visit the old tavern as herself, as Qian Renxue.

Of course, she wouldn't just show up randomly. She still had to maintain her disguise as Xue Qinghe.

If the Heaven Dou Crown Prince kept mysteriously disappearing, people would grow suspicious.

So, she always made sure to send messages in advance to Tianshui Academy, letting the young man know she would be at the tavern.

Whenever Xue Tianyu received her messages, he would usually go meet her.

He also wanted to spend more time with this sister who had grown up lacking love.

As a result, their encounters became more frequent, and the tavern became their sacred meeting place.

Time and time again, they met for drinks, talking about everything under the sun.

Their bond deepened rapidly.

Even though he had become good friends with Qian Renxue, Xue Tianyu never revealed his true identity.

Bibi Dong wasn't stupid—if she noticed any changes in Qian Renxue, she might suspect something.

Before his revenge was complete, he wouldn't give Bibi Dong any chance to turn the tables.

…

Years passed.

Xue Tianyu kept searching for new places and people to sign in with, continuously increasing his strength.

His spiritual power, speed, agility, muscle strength, and elemental resistances all improved tremendously.

But the fastest-growing attribute was undoubtedly his soul power!

This year, Xue Tianyu turned twenty years old.

…

Extreme North, Outside the Ice Snow Palace.

A now fully grown Xue Tianyu stood amidst the icy tundra, eyes closed.

As he slowly raised his hand, ice crystals in the air gathered around his palm.

A deep blue crystalline longsword materialized.

At that moment, the blizzards of the Extreme North seemed to bow before their king, swirling around him in submission.

"Three Ultimate Techniques of Snow Emperor."

Xue Tianyu murmured softly, releasing waves of pressure that instantly suppressed the raging storm, causing the very ground to tremble.

His aura surged to its peak!

Shing!

"Imperial Sword: Unrivaled Frost!"

A crescent-shaped slash of extreme cold burst forth, and in an instant, a towering snow mountain in the distance was cleaved in two!

The terrifying energy shockwave blasted upward, forming a massive snow tornado with Xue Tianyu at its center!

Only then did he slowly open his eyes.

A fearsome aura erupted from his body.

Titled Douluo!

And not just any Titled Douluo—Level 96!

Feeling the overwhelming power of the Three Ultimate Techniques taught by Xue Di, Xue Tianyu was immensely satisfied.

He dismissed the deep blue sword and stepped into the Ice Snow Palace.

Now, at Level 96, with two top-tier Martial Souls, he had no fear of fighting even stronger Titled Douluo!

And the most terrifying part?

He was only twenty years old.

"You're back? How was it?" Xue Di asked with a smile.

"The power is incredible," Xue Tianyu replied, giving the technique high praise.

"As long as it helps you," Xue Di said, beckoning him closer.

But before he could reach her, Bing Di suddenly darted over and hugged him tightly.

"Let me hug first!"

Now taller than Bing Di, Xue Tianyu sighed helplessly and lifted her up as he walked toward Xue Di.

Watching him carry Bing Di, Xue Di couldn't help but laugh.

"Jealous because you're smaller?"

Bing Di glared at Xue Di.

Xue Di simply chuckled and pulled both of them into her embrace.

Xue Tianyu and Bing Di both enjoyed the warmth of Xue Di's embrace.
