Chapter 99 – Tang Buddha, Repaying Kindness?
As soon as Ye Yu summoned the Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree behind him, it was clear this Martial Soul was extraordinary.
Coupled with the fact that Ye Yu looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet four Spirit Rings circled around him…
"A Spirit Ancestor at sixteen?!"
Meng Shu—the Dragon Duke—immediately narrowed his eyes, his heart gripped by shock.
Although he himself was a Spirit Douluo, and could unleash the Spirit Fusion Ability: Unrivaled Dragon Serpent with his wife, the Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang—putting them on par with a Titled Douluo in raw power—he was well aware of his own limitations.
The Dragon Serpent family was far from a top-tier clan in the Spirit Master world.
A genius like Ye Yu could not possibly have come from their family.
Worried that Ye Yu might belong to one of those elite clans or sects that the Dragon Serpent family couldn't afford to offend, Meng Shu decided to give him face.
He walked with Ye Yu to the side.
"Young man, from what I can tell, you're not really with this Shrek Academy bunch," Meng Shu said in a low voice. "Why speak on their behalf?"
Ye Yu smiled faintly. "You're right. I'm not one of them."
"But among the Shrek students is a girl who's like a little sister to me."
"My teacher is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and that girl's Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Her name is Ning Rongrong."
"As for her father… I'm sure you've heard of him—Ning Fengzhi."
Upon hearing that, Meng Shu instantly broke into a cold sweat.
Dugu Bo's student?
And Ning Fengzhi's daughter?
He silently cursed his luck.
Why did he have to run into this pair of young nobles?!
He couldn't afford to offend either one.
While Dugu Bo might've been known as the "weakest Titled Douluo" online in Ye Yu's past life, in this world, even the weakest Titled Douluo… was still a Titled Douluo.
And with his toxic Martial Soul and large-area Spirit Abilities, he could wipe out an entire clan or sect with ease.
Add in Dugu Bo's eccentric and ruthless reputation, and Meng Shu knew better than to pick a fight.
Forcing a respectful smile, he cupped his fists.
"Didn't expect the young master to be Poison Douluo's disciple."
"No wonder such talent—only a true master could raise such a student."
"In light of your and Poison Douluo's names, I'll let this matter go."
With that, Meng Shu turned to his wife and granddaughter.
"We're leaving. Let's go!"
Together, the Unrivaled Dragon-Serpent Duo disappeared into the forest.

"Little San, hurry and thank Lord Ye Yu!" Zao Wou-Ki said with a long sigh of relief after seeing the crisis averted.
Tang San, for his part, was feeling complicated emotions.
He hadn't expected Ye Yu to step in and save him.
Beside him, Ning Rongrong proudly puffed out her chest, her delicate face glowing with happiness and pride.
She was convinced Ye Yu had only stepped in because of her.
To her, this proved just how much he cared.
Her cheeks flushed pink, and she couldn't help but sneak glances at him with sparkling eyes.
This annoying guy… he clearly cares about me so much, yet back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he actually spanked me in front of everyone.
And he never even apologized afterward…
If I'd known he was this sweet, I would've become friends with him long ago!
"Thank you, Lord Ye Yu," Tang San said finally, forcing a smile. "I owe you my life again."
"I will definitely repay this debt."
Ye Yu twitched slightly at that.
He turned to glance at the corpse of the Man-Faced Demon Spider not far away, where a purple Spirit Ring was forming.
He didn't want to miss the moment when the External Spirit Bone: Eight Spider Lances would be born.
So he stepped forward, summoning his Blue Silver Spirit Jade Tree Martial Soul.
Under the veil of the Blue Silver Domain, his four Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—rose up in sequence around him.
With a calm smile, Ye Yu gestured to Meng Shu.
"Senior, may I have a word?"
