Chapter Eighty-Eight: Life and Death丨Past and New

The Snowy Night Emperor was quite satisfied with Lu Yuan's performance today, and for this kind of future powerhouse, the empire would inevitably have to make more friends in the future.

With a marquis title and a small city on the southwestern border, it is very cost-effective to befriend a strong man who can definitely become a Title Douluo in the future.

He smiled slightly, faced all the people in the Great Fighting Soul Arena, and continued, "In order to celebrate this victory, I hereby make an announcement! ”

"In order to show the prosperity of my Heaven Dou Empire and the use of talents, today the whole country will celebrate and enjoy the whole world, and I hereby grant amnesty to the world, and all those who are not guilty of heinous crimes will be reduced by ten years, and those who commit minor crimes will be exempted!

Three-year Ding tax and field tax will be reduced by one percent, and commercial tax will be exempted from tariffs by three percent! ”

Suddenly, the whole audience became excited, in fact, the Snow Night Emperor intended to amnesty the world and reduce taxes because of this victory, everyone knew about it for a long time.

But this kind of amnesty and tax reduction in celebration of the championship must be announced at the victory celebration.

So before that, everyone didn't know what the specific amnesty and tax reduction plans were.

Now that they heard the will of the Snowy Night Emperor, everyone became excited.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" I don't know who took the head, but I saw that the nobles and ordinary people in the Great Fighting Arena at the scene all stood up one after another, although they couldn't kneel, they half-bowed their bodies and shouted in unison.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan had no choice but to kneel down on one knee with the other team members, and shouted together, "Long live Your Majesty, long live!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Seeing this, the Snowy Night Emperor laughed proudly.

But at this moment, Lu Yuan, who was close to him, suddenly saw a trace of flushing flashing on his old face.

Then the Snowy Night Emperor's face instantly turned as pale as gold paper, and the ministers on the left and right behind him hurriedly stepped forward when they saw this, and held him firmly in a way that was so obscure that no one could see him.

The Snowy Night Emperor continued, "I am very happy today! Ladies and gentlemen, may my Heaven Dou Empire be evergreen and prosperous! ”

Lu Yuan saw that his face was getting paler and paler, and his body also had a feeling that he was about to fall!

"The Heaven Dou Empire is evergreen! Prosperity of martial arts! The ordinary audience present didn't seem to see the strangeness of the Snow Night Emperor, and shouted in unison.

Then, in the midst of their loud shouts, the Snowy Night Emperor, accompanied by his ministers, returned to his seat.

His face grew more and more ugly, and the minister stepped forward to whisper a few words in his ear, but he shook his head gently.

Obviously, the Snowy Night Emperor caused the toxins in his body to riot because of his excitement just now.

The minister suggested that he go back to the palace to rest, but he refused.

On such an important occasion, if the lord of a country shows any ill health and is about to die, the majesty and rule of the royal family will be threatened!

He couldn't leave here in front of so many people of the empire and release the news that he was seriously ill and dying.

At this time, the master of ceremonies instantly took over the amplified soul guide in the hands of the Snowy Night Emperor, and then continued to control the field and said, "Next, I would like to invite Thunder Douluo, Lord Yu Yuanzhen to speak!" ”

Yu Yuanzhen also saw the strangeness of the Snow Night Emperor, but he Blue Electric Overlord Sect had always been indifferent, so he pretended not to know and stepped forward directly, but did not take the amplified soul guide in the master of ceremonies.

He glanced lightly at Lu Yuan and the others who were still on the stage, obviously there was no such thing as Yu Tianheng who was not a champion at this time, and it was Lu Yuan and the others who he wanted to praise when he came to the stage.

"Very good, your talent is indeed the most powerful in the Heaven Dou Empire in a thousand years, as rumored by the outside world, maybe the most in a thousand years is not enough to describe your talent." Yu Yuanzhen used his soul power to spread his thunderous voice throughout the Great Fighting Soul Field.

With his current cultivation of the ninety-fifth level Title Douluo, this matter is actually not difficult.

Everyone present couldn't help but perk up, Yu Yuanzhen actually praised the team of Lu Yuan's Heaven Dou Royal Academy to such an extent.

Originally, the title of the strongest in thousands of years was enough, but Yu Yuanzhen now said that this title was not enough to describe the talent of Lu Yuan and the others.

That thousand years is not enough...... Isn't it going to be described in 10,000 years?!

At this time, hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo sitting on the stage were all stunned for a moment.

Yu Yuanzhen would actually praise Lu Yuan and them? It's amazing......

Yu Yuan was stunned, "It should be the most powerful genius soul master in the past ten thousand years!" Especially you, Lu Yuan. ”

"Twin Martial Souls, plus the fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor, I can't see where your future is." He looked at Lu Yuan and said lightly.

"The seniors have won the prize!" Lu Yuan hurriedly clasped his hands and said modestly.

"It's not a prize, your talent is very strong, there's no doubt about it, but I hope you behave kindly on weekdays!" Yu Yuanzhen suddenly said in a shocking voice, "Don't rely on your talent and power to bully others casually!" ”

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen's eyes were cold at this time, and it was obvious that he was actually very concerned about Yu Xiaogang's exile to the Far North because of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan chuckled, as if he had lost the restraint he had before, and had changed back to his true nature at this moment.

He said lightly, "Senior, don't worry, although I am not a good person, I also pursue a truth!" ”

Lu Yuan took a step forward, met Yu Yuanzhen's eyes head-on, and said loudly, "Innocent people, if you don't have the idea of harming me, I won't bully this kind of person!" Only those who want to step on my head, I will fight back with thunder! ”

Yu Yuanzhen's cold eyes changed, and they became extremely terrifying, as if he was forcibly forcing Lu Yuan to kneel down and admit his mistake at this moment.

In an instant, the Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Poison Douluo present all felt the changes in the qi on Yu Yuanzhen's body, and the bodies of the three Titled Douluo all tensed.

It seems that as long as Yu Yuanzhen makes any move towards Lu Yuan, they will step forward to stop Yu Yuanzhen!

Even if Yu Yuanzhen has the True Dragon Nine Crowns Secret Method, he can greatly improve his own strength.

But at this time, if you were to face a Sword Douluo with ninety-seven levels of soul power, a ninety-five level Bone Douluo with ninety-five level soul power, and a Poison Douluo with ninety-two levels of soul power at the same time, it would definitely not be possible to have any advantages.

What's more, there is also a world's number one auxiliary soul master Ning Fengzhi by the side!

But at this time, Yu Yuanzhen withdrew his eyes and didn't make any moves.

"I hope so." He said lightly, "If you think you're not wrong, that's fine." ”

Yu Yuanzhen's tone was flat, and he didn't hear any mocking tone.

But what he meant by this was clearly mockery.

Then, Yu Yuanzhen waved his sleeves and returned to his seat, and the old god was on the ground with his eyes closed.

He actually knew very well that if he was forced against Lu Yuan here, the two old guys of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect would definitely make a move.

The True Dragon Nine Crowns were desperately secret methods, and it was impossible to use them like this.

And on this occasion, how can it be done, the impact is not good and it does not fall any benefit, then forget it.

The Snow Night Emperor on the side frowned tightly, but there was no way, he really couldn't help Yu Yuanzhen.

Even as the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The master of ceremonies laughed a few times with some embarrassment, "Lord Thunder Douluo said it very well, telling us not to be evil, not to bully others, that's very right!" ”

"Now, let Lord Bone Douluo continue to speak!"

Bone Douluo stood up with a smile at this time, his two-meter-tall skeleton-like body and appearance made many of the children present a little scared.

He also waved his hand and asked the master of ceremonies to take back the amplified soul guide handed over.

Bone Douluo also said loudly with soul power, "Today, I am very happy to hear the news that the young talents of our Heaven Dou Empire have defeated the Academy of the Star Luo Empire and the Academy of the Martial Spirit Palace, which proves that the young talents of our Heaven Dou Empire are not inferior to the Star Luo Empire and the Martial Spirit Palace!" ”

"The losses in the past two competitions, I know that many young talents in our Heaven Dou Empire have lost their self-confidence, and they feel that we are inferior to others and inferior to the Martial Spirit Palace."

"But this year's victory has told those young talents who are interested in participating in the continent-wide soul master advanced competition that the genius soul masters of our Heaven Dou Empire are no worse than those of the Star Luo Empire and the Martial Spirit Palace!"

"Only by maintaining the confidence to forge ahead and the firm belief that we are not afraid of strong enemies will we become stronger and stronger! Defeat all invading enemies! ”

"That's it! That's all I have to say. Bone Douluo said with a smile.

The Snowy Night Emperor breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then gestured to the master of ceremonies with his eyes.

The master of ceremonies immediately understood and shouted, "This celebration is over!" Please leave the venue in an orderly manner and do not ......"

Then, before he could finish speaking, the Snowy Night Emperor left the place with the support of the ministers and the royal knights.

At the same time, Lu Yuan also saw that Dugu Bo also quickly followed the team of the Snow Night Emperor.

……

With the end of the celebration, Lu Yuan and the others also left the Great Fighting Soul Arena and returned to their respective homes.

At this moment, Lu Yuan and Lu Qingqing also learned a piece of news after returning home.

The second grandfather, Lu Wu, had passed away peacefully, just in the month they went to Wuhun City to compete.

Lu Qing and Mana already knew about this, and they couldn't tell them about it until they returned to Heaven Dou City.

According to the content of Yan Hunt's letter, Lu Wu walked away without any warning or pain, and passed away in his sleep.

He didn't even have time to know the good news that Lu Yuan led the team to win the championship.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, he hadn't returned to Notting City for a long time, and naturally he hadn't seen his second grandfather Lu Wu for a long time.

But his feelings for his second grandfather have never diminished, his biological grandfather died in the war, and Lu Yuan has never seen this biological grandfather.

Since he was a child, his second grandfather has taken a lot of care of him, and the second grandfather is like his own grandfather.

But the second grandfather died suddenly, and it was actually normal for an old man who had not cultivated to die suddenly.

But Lu Yuan just couldn't let go for a while.

It's just that he couldn't cry for a while.

I could only feel the coldness of my heart.

The joy of winning the championship was completely washed away at this moment, and Lu Qingqing was the same.

Then after a few days, the two brothers and sisters were like puppets without sorrow or joy, cultivating, cultivating, cultivating.

Finally, one day, Lu Qingqing cried profusely.

And the corners of Lu Yuan's eyes also silently shed tears.

But life still has to go on, and Lu Qingqing continues to return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, returned to the academy with Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Yan Zhuyin, and the Shi family brothers, and officially left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the academy's solemn and joyful graduation ceremony.

Lu Yuan officially bid farewell to campus life in this world, in addition to the joy of winning the championship, accompanied by the regret of the death of his loved ones.

There are sorrows and joys, which are the imperfect things that run through life......

Leaving the campus means stepping into the third stage of life - to create your own value!

……

The Royal Hunting Grounds, where the Royal Knights are stationed.

"Did you hear that?"

Barnaby looked over and saw the voice of his comrade-in-arms Hornak, who was chatting with several other commander-level non-commissioned officers.

He walked over and put him on Hornak's shoulder, "What's the matter?" ”

Hornak jumped up at this point, but when he turned around and saw that it was Barnaby, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you going to scare me to death?" ”

Barnaby laughed, "Why are you so timid?" ”

Hornak rolled his eyes, "I'm cowardly, I'm bold!" Is it just that you are not scary? ”

"I'm still scary, then when you go to the battlefield, you don't have to be scared to pee your pants." Barnaby sneered at him.

"Go, go!" Hornak waved his hand, "I still go to the battlefield, where to go to the battlefield, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have not fought for more than ten years, these days are so peaceful, otherwise my old ghost would not have sent me to this Royal Knights!" ”

Most of the senior officers of the Royal Order were from aristocratic backgrounds.

In addition to the fact that the nobles have a way to arrange for their descendants and relatives to come in, there is also the fact that the children of the nobles generally do not lack food and drink, have good genetic inheritance, and have good strength, which must be much stronger than ordinary commoners.

Although Hornak is a son of a nobleman, he has real strength to climb to the current position of commander.

He is in his forties, although he has not experienced the war between the two empires, he has also participated in local counterinsurgency incidents, and he also has the cultivation of the Soul Sect!

"Then what are you sneaking here?" Barnaby asked with a smile.

"Don't you know?" Hornak laughed and said, "Our 10th Division of the Royal Knights has not been established for a long time, and this has always been without a direct general, it is General Cha Xiangtai of the 9th Division who is also in charge of and arranges training. ”

"But recently, General Cha has rarely come to inspect our division, and you don't know what happened in the empire a few days ago?"

Barnaby was stunned for a moment, "What could be the big deal?" I remember that it was only the fact that our empire won the championship in the All-Continent Soul Master Advanced Competition, right? ”

"That's right! And then what? Don't you know? His Majesty personally crowned the genius soul master Lu Yuan, who won the championship, as the Marquis of Heavenly Shadow, and joined our Royal Knights as a general to lead an army! ”

Barnaby was stunned for a moment, "Celestial Shadow Marquis? Lu Yuan? Checkmate? ”

"That's what we're talking about." Hornak suddenly said, "Do you know how old Lu Yuan is this year?" ”

"How much? Probably no more than twenty-five years old, right? Barnaby vaguely remembered that the age limit for the All-Continent Soul Master Advanced Competition was under twenty-five years old.

"It's fifteen! Gee. Hornak grinned and said, "Fifteen years old, it's really tender, I really don't understand, let a fifteen-year-old hairy boy take care of us?" ”

"But I remember that Lu Yuan is not very strong? He was praised by Thunder Douluo as the first person in Ten Thousand Years of Heaven Dou. Barnaby frowned and said, "Although he is fifteen years old, he is already a Soul Emperor!" ”

"What about the Soul Emperor? In addition to cultivating a little more, it's not that you can't do anything? Hornak grinned, "Will he be in charge?" How will ordinary soldiers be trained? Do you know what the orders are in the army? ”

"He doesn't understand anything, if he doesn't please us then! We're going to make him suffer! ”

"Suffering? What are the hardships? At that moment, a voice with a smile rang out.

"Of course, let him be an empty general, let everyone disobey his orders, and see what he does!" Hornak said triumphantly.

Wait a minute...... Why does this sound so unfamiliar?

Hornak, Barnaby, and the others suddenly reacted and looked at the place where the sound came from.

I saw a figure young enough to make them jealous, standing at the door of the tent, looking at them with a smile.

The handsome face of the figure is evil and awe-inspiring, with a smile, and it looks even more evil, and the owner of this handsome face seems to be between a teenager and a young man, but it seems to be as mature as a middle-aged person.

"Boy! Who are you?! Hornak snorted coldly, he saw that this young man was not wearing the uniform of the Royal Knights, and immediately shouted, "Trespassing on the Royal Lands!" But a great sin! ”

"Me?" Lu Yuan smiled lightly and took out a token.

Barnaby shuddered when he saw the token.

This is the identity token of the Royal Knights, and the token in Lu Yuan's hand represents his identity as a general!

Several of the Commanders on the scene trembled, they were not so stupid as to think that this token was forged or stolen.

How could this be a forgery or something that could be stolen?

They also didn't doubt the authenticity of the token because the person holding it looked too young, after all......

They had just finished chatting about an imperial general who was only fifteen years old!

Lu Yuan looked at Barnaby and chuckled, "I thank you for welcoming me, it's very good, especially what you just said, the meeting gift you gave me. ”

"I'm a person, and I also like to give some 'meeting gifts' to friends who have just met." He looked at the five Commanders present.

Lu Yuan suddenly took a deep breath, and then shouted, "I am the new general of the Empire - Heavenly Shadow Marquis Lu Yuan!" All the commanders of the ten divisions obey the order! All of them were concentrated in the command camp tent of the 49th Division of the 10th Division! Didn't arrive in a minute! At one's own risk! ”

His voice spread through the strong soul power throughout the school field where the Ten Divisions were located.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the entire 10th Division heard it, and after those commanders heard this voice, some of them hesitated for a moment but still got up to gather, while some of them smiled disdainfully and did not take it seriously.

Soon, more than forty commanders came to Lu Yuan, and they were all stunned when they looked at the young Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded to them, "Get in the ranks, everyone." ”
