Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"Tsk, I'm just an inexperienced young boy, shy and all, or else I would have brought those two girls home today no matter what,"

Imagining Qin Lan's sensual black silk stockings, high heels, and long legs, as well as Jia Lan's pure and petite legs in socks, Luo Yu felt a surge of heat within.

"Xiao Yu, you're back?"

Just as he entered the room, he saw Luo Tiance's tall figure, like a Godly Sword with its sharpness sheathed, ready to explode at any moment when needed.

"Haven't gone to bed yet, grandpa?" Luo Yu asked with a smile.

Luo Tiance shook his head with a bitter smile.

"How could I sleep with all the commotion you caused during the day?"

"Old people need to stay calm,"

Luo Tiance shot him a glance at Luo Yu's know-it-all attitude and said,

"Do you think I can't keep my cool, or is it that you're too monstrous?"

"In front of your terrifying talent, I'm afraid no one could remain undisturbed."

Luo Yu shook his head, "All right, grandpa, just say what you want to tell me."

"I just want to know why the Bronze Awakening Pillar, which even I cannot damage in the slightest, just shattered into pieces when you went near it," Luo Tiance said, confused.

Luo Yu shrugged his shoulders.

"I really don't know about that,"

"I was just standing there, and it shattered on its own. Who knows what happened."

"It shattered by itself?" Luo Tiance stared wide-eyed, "So this treasure doesn't work for anyone else but waits for you to come before it functions properly?"

"Maybe," Luo Yu replied casually, nearly splitting Luo Tiance's long-silent heart of the Dao with his offhand Versailles-like remarks.

"Can you show the Nine Miniature Cauldrons you got to grandpa?" Luo Tiance asked, curious.

"There's nothing to hide, here,"

Luo Yu promptly gestured with his arm.

"Swish swish swish!"

Nine miniature cauldron light shadows flew out from his sleeve, sweeping up in front of Luo Tiance.

"Is this the treasure hidden inside the Bronze Pillars?" Luo Tiance scrutinized carefully, but sadly couldn't discern anything special.

He reached out to grab one of the cauldrons with his large hand.

"Hum!"

The mini cauldron vibrated, seemingly resisting Luo Tiance's grasp.

Luo Tiance was startled and exclaimed,

"Artifact Spirit?"

"There's actually an Artifact Spirit inside the Nine Miniature Cauldrons?"

"This is definitely a top-tier treasure."

"Just don't know what its use is."

Luo Yu explained,

"I haven't had the chance to study these Nine Miniature Cauldrons properly yet."

"The consciousness of the Artifact Spirits inside seems quite unclear, as if they were in the process of awakening. They can't provide any information right now."

"You're really something," Luo Tiance said somewhat admiringly. Most people who acquire such heaven-defying treasures would immediately go into hiding to study their effects.

But this boy, he coolly spent the day accompanying a woman instead.

"Seeing the ancient characters on each of the cauldrons, I think these are the Nine Tripod Cauldrons of the Great Xia, said to suppress destiny,"

"Don't worry, it's not important,"

Luo Yu shook his head nonchalantly, retrieving the Nine Miniature Cauldrons back with a gesture.

"Don't you want to study it more?" Luo Tiance said with a twitching mouth.

"Not interested,"

Luo Yu stated matter-of-factly: "So what about Divine Artifacts, with my talent, I'm bound to have plenty of them in the future."

"If they're not rare for me, why bother racking my brain over them."

Luo Tiance's face stiffened, at a loss for words for a moment.

Are you sure you're not just showing off here?

"Since the Bronze Awakening Pillars react to you, does that mean other awakening Bronze Pillars in Great Xia also have treasures hidden inside, waiting for you to call upon them?"

"Not sure,"

Luo Yu indicated that he didn't understand this matter either and couldn't answer.

"Later, grandpa will find a few for you to try out. One shouldn't pass up on treasures," Luo Tiance thought to himself, calculating that there were quite a number of Bronze Pillars discovered from ancient gods' relics. If they all contained treasures, then surely, they should belong to his grandson.

"If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep," Luo Yu yawned.

He wasn't really tired, but because his training would be more efficient "in dreams," that is, in the Cyan Stone Lotus Space.

"Wait, there are two more things,"

Luo Tiance said, "You saw today how all the principals from major martial schools across the country came to woo you. You still have to make a choice."

"Do I really have to pick one? Can't I just not go to school?" Luo Yu pouted.

"We've kept you hidden for eighteen years, it's time for you to come out and make a name for yourself. You can also learn some basic knowledge about cultivation at a martial school," Luo Tiance earnestly persuaded.

"I don't want to."

Luo Yu shook his head:

"I'm genuinely not interested in martial schools."

"That's not an option. You can't stay at home all the time; it's making you reclusive," Luo Tiance said, "Besides, at the martial school, there are young people everywhere, you'll have common ground to talk about."

Luo Yu blinked at Luo Tiance.

"Old man, be honest with me, did you secretly take some benefits from those principals and that's why you're trying so hard to get me into a martial school?"

"Are you joking? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would sacrifice his grandson for his own benefit?" Luo Tiance retorted righteously.

"I'm not going. How could a martial school be more comfortable than staying at home?" Luo Yu shook his head again.

Luo Tiance whispered:

"There are no beauties at home."

"But at a martial school, it's different; so many gallant and beautiful women, each with an extraordinary temperament because they are martial artists."

"Cough cough, trying to tempt me with beauties? As if I would fall for that."

Luo Yu showed his disdain.

He then coldly asked:

"Grandpa, which school do you think has more of these beauties?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not into beauties, I'm just purely interested in studying," Luo Yu claimed with an innocent look.

Luo Tiance smiled knowingly.

"I understand! I understand!"

"My grandson isn't someone who would attend a martial school for the sake of beauty. Impossible."

"Chuan Province Martial University has more beauties on one side. The place is famous for producing beauties, far surpassing our Great Capital and Magic Capital."

"Grandpa, tell me honestly, how much did you take as a benefit fee to trick your grandson into going to Chuan Province Martial University?" Luo Yu stared intently into Luo Tiance's eyes.

Luo Tiance started to feel uncomfortable.

Eventually, he said, "Shi Kai's father once saved my life on the battlefield, so I've always owed him a favor."

"Oh—"

Luo Yu drew out a long sound.

"I see. So it's about sending your grandson off to repay a favor."

Luo Tiance shook his head.

"No, of course not! I'm just making a suggestion, I won't interfere with your decision."

"And besides, Chuan Province Martial University is quite good in all aspects, including faculty strength. It's not much worse than the Great Capital, Northeast, or Magic Capital, so it's fine to go there."

Luo Yu looked incredulous.

"You call this not interfering?"

"You're this close to just tying me up and throwing me into Chuan Province Martial University."

Luo Tiance remained silent, and finally Luo Yu said, "Then let's go to this Chuan Province Martial University. I'm invincible anyway, it doesn't matter where I go."

"If I went to a university that was already strong, it wouldn't prove my own martial prowess. Chuan Province Martial University seems like a good place to make a name for myself."

"Clap clap clap!" Luo Tiance applauded, "My grandson has the ambition to reach for the skies, and as a grandfather, I am very pleased."

"You said there were two things, the first one is settled. What's the second?" Luo Yu asked.

"The martial arts examination for the Great Capital Province starts the day after tomorrow," Luo Tiance replied.

"You want me to participate?" Luo Yu smiled, "Of course, I'm going to participate."

It was too good an opportunity to show off my skills in public to pass up.

Luo Tiance shook his head:

"I'm not encouraging you to participate, I'm just hoping you can take it easy and not scare the other kids competing."

Luo Yu rolled his eyes and retorted, "They seem to be about my age, even older. What's there to be scared of?"

"Alright, grandpa, you've said your piece, so I'm going back to rest."

...

The moon set and the sun rose, and in no time, three days passed.

The day of the Great Capital Province martial arts examination arrived, where the top three were the Martial Champion, Second Top Scholar, and Third Top Scholar.

In this era, for a family to boast of having a Martial Champion in the entire province was the greatest joy and pride.

Countless young martial artists who had just come of age were about to fiercely compete for the position of Martial Champion...
