Douluo: AFK to Become a God

The Star Luo Royal Family is known for its domineering nature, and besides the famous Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Netherworld White Tiger, their reputation for being overbearing is widely recognized.

Of course, the Star Luo Royal Family is not the only one that operates in such a manner. The Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Haotian Sect also share this characteristic.

As for handing over a "controlling" secret skill?

It's just a self-created purple-level skill, and it could even be handed over in a less complete form. Facing life and death, Chu Chengzhou might have been willing to negotiate. However, the problem lies in the fact that, from the perspective of the Star Luo Royal Family, simply handing over the skill wouldn't be enough to resolve things. It's impossible!

In the eyes of the Star Luo Royal Family, once they obtain the secret skill, the next step is to eliminate the person to prevent any future threats. This ensures there are no loose ends, no potential for revenge.

If Chu Chengzhou had no backing, the royal family could simply monopolize the skill. From their point of view, killing and silencing him is a no-brainer, a necessary course of action.

"Senior, I am Flender, the dean of Shrek Academy, and your family member, Dai Mubai, is a student at our academy. Perhaps we can come to some understanding?" Flender said, stepping in front of Chu Chengzhou, his expression serious.

Flender tried to leverage his connections to avoid a conflict.

However, before Dai Sheng could respond, the massive Yomi White Tiger released its Martial Soul Fusion Skill, revealing two young figures.

The woman wore a black-purple tight leather suit, her fair skin and long legs complementing her fiery, attractive figure. The man was tall and handsome, his face strikingly similar to Dai Mubai's.

These two were none other than the Star Luo Empire's first prince, Dai Weisi, and his fiancée, Zhu Zhuyun, the eldest daughter of the Yomi Zhu family.

"So, you're the one who took care of my good little brother, Flender?" Dai Weisi raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on his face as he spoke to Flender.

"You are?" Flender, adjusting his glasses, asked with curiosity, eyeing Dai Weisi, who resembled Dai Mubai.

"Dai Weisi, the older brother of my good little brother!" Dai Weisi crossed his arms in front of his chest, emphasizing the words "good little brother."

Flender's expression changed at once. Dai Weisi was the older brother of Dai Mubai? Wasn't that the enemy of Dai Mubai?

Flender, being aware of the backstory, knew that Dai Mubai had come to Shrek Academy from a far distance, and this was not a coincidence.

"Sixth Elder, this person is the one who caused the internal strife within our Star Luo Royal Family. We should capture him and bring him back for Father Emperor to judge!" Dai Weisi's face darkened as he pointed at Flender and spoke to the nearby Dai Sheng.

Dai Weisi's younger brother had gone to Shrek Academy, and now, by chance, he encountered Flender, the dean of the academy. This was an opportunity to frame Flender, making him a scapegoat and eliminating him, thus removing any support for his younger brother.

Moreover, the Sixth Elder, who was close to him and one of his supporters in the royal family's Elder Council, was a Soul Douluo with eight rings. With his strength, capturing Flender would be no problem.

Before Dai Sheng could act, Flender swiftly grabbed Chu Chengzhou and, using his Martial Soul, summoned his wings and flew into the air at lightning speed, hoping to escape.

Flender knew that he could not defeat an eight-ring Soul Douluo, but as a Soul Saint with a flight-type Martial Soul, he was fast. There was no way the White Tiger Soul Douluo could catch up with him.

Flender's speed was so fast that by the time Dai Sheng, Dai Weisi, and Zhu Zhuyun reacted, he was already dozens of meters away.

Seeing Flender make a quick getaway, Dai Sheng was furious.

"Roar—!"

A loud tiger roar erupted as Dai Sheng activated his White Tiger Martial Soul.

His sixth soul ring glowed, and with a surge of soul power, a brilliant white light enveloped his sharp right claws. He slashed at Flender, who was flying away.

Instantly, a massive golden claw shadow shot out, filled with lethal force.

Flender, ever experienced, noticed the intense soul power fluctuation from behind and immediately flapped his wings to the right, dodging the attack.

The golden claw missed, grazing the feathers on his wings, which fell and disintegrated into soul power mid-air.

"Hmph~!" Dai Sheng grunted in frustration. After a brief pause, he withdrew his Martial Soul, not pursuing further.

His strength was superior to Flender's, but as a close-combat Soul Douluo, speed was not his forte. Lacking long-range attack methods, he could not catch up to Flender, who had the advantage in speed.

Seeing that Dai Sheng did not pursue, Dai Weisi shrugged, uninterested.

Although Flender was a Soul Saint, to Dai Weisi, he was just a minor character.

If possible, he wouldn't mind eliminating Flender, just to irritate his "good little brother" Dai Mubai. But if it didn't work out, it didn't matter—he was the heir to the empire, and the throne was his for the taking.

Dai Weisi: The advantage is mine!

A few minutes later, realizing there was no pursuit, Flender landed with Chu Chengzhou in the forest below.

"Phew~! Luckily, I was quick enough, or we'd be done for!" Flender sighed in relief.

"The Dai family is truly overbearing. Sooner or later, they'll get what's coming to them!" Chu Chengzhou nodded, adding a threat under his breath.

"Star Luo Royal Family is no simple matter. You'd better train hard in the future!" Flender patted Chu Chengzhou on the shoulder.

Flender believed in Chu Chengzhou's potential to give the Star Luo Royal Family a run for their money. After all, both Chu Chengzhou and Xiao Wu were among the most talented individuals on the continent. As long as they grew stronger, they would certainly be able to challenge the Star Luo Royal Family.

"Thank you, Flender!" Chu Chengzhou suddenly said, his expression solemn as he bowed.

"Haha~! Why are you thanking me? When you become a Title Douluo, that will be the best way to thank me!" Flender pushed up his glasses and smiled, a carefree look on his face.

Chu Chengzhou nodded in agreement.

Indeed, when he reached the level of a Title Douluo, that would be the best way to show his gratitude to Flender, since Flender's greatest dream was to see Shrek Academy grow and thrive.

However, becoming a Title Douluo was no small feat. After thinking for a moment, Chu Chengzhou said, "Flender, I heard from Fatty that the Black Horse Club in Soto City is quite good. How about I treat you to a visit... no, make it three times?"

Flender: "..."

"Get lost, you little rascal!" Flender smacked Chu Chengzhou on the back with a scowl.

Flender was well aware of what the Black Horse Club in Soto City was like. While the offer might be tempting, Flender was no fool.

Besides, Flender had enough savings to visit whenever he wanted. He didn't need Chu Chengzhou to treat him!
