Chapter 86: The Academy Girls' Dream Man
Good grief, he even dragged Poison Douluo Dugu Bo out as a shield!
At this moment, the conflict here had already attracted the attention of a large number of teachers and students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Hearing Zhou Chen's sarcastic and mocking threat, everyone looked at him with speechless expressions.
Where did this kid pop out from? How could he talk so much nonsense?
Yu Tianheng, who already had a fiery temperament, was now so furious that smoke seemed to rise from all seven orifices. Tongue-tied as he was, he finally could not hold back and wanted to make a move.
"You're courting death!!"
Before his words had even fallen, a cluster of brilliant blue light suddenly lit up from the center of Yu Tianheng's brow.
Immediately after, the blue light spread across his entire body. Strands of blue-violet lightning burst forth like small snakes, winding around his body.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, possession!
After the possession was complete, aside from an extra streak of blue lightning on his brow, Yu Tianheng's entire body remained humanoid. Only one part of his body had changed due to the martial soul possession.
However, just this single change made him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.
The part that had changed was his right arm.
His right arm had transformed into a massive dragon claw covered in blue-violet scales. Blue-violet lightning snakes continuously gathered and surged over it, while three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—circled around the dragon claw.
"Hiss—"
Sounds of people sucking in cold air rang out. The appearance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul instantly ignited the emotions of the onlookers.
Everyone had been watching the excitement casually, but once Yu Tianheng released his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, they all sensed that something was wrong.
Today… someone would not get beaten to death, right?
Although that sword-riding youth looked handsome, cool, and calm.
Still, this kind of good-looking pretty boy, no matter how one looked at him, did not seem like a match for a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, one of the Upper Three Sects.
After all, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul masters were known as the most terrifying assault-type soul masters of the same rank!
Sigh, Dugu Yan was still too shallow. To actually like such a good-looking but useless, flashy pretty boy—many male onlookers thought silently.
Meanwhile, the female teachers and female students present all stared dreamily at Zhou Chen, as if wanting to engrave his handsome face deep into their hearts.
Dugu Yan really had good taste!
She had actually discovered such a handsome, refined, and seemingly powerful beautiful youth.
At this moment, Zhou Chen's gaze was fixed with some curiosity on Yu Tianheng's dragon claw.
As a man destined to eventually stand at the peak, Zhou Chen maintained an investigative attitude toward all major powers.
After all, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon were to block his path in the future, he would naturally have to cleanse their sect. At that time, any intelligence related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon would be extremely valuable.
"So this is dragonification?"
Zhou Chen remembered that in the original plot, soul masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan possessed a secret technique called "dragonification."
Starting from level thirty, every time they obtained a soul ring, one part of their body would gain dragon-like characteristics during martial soul possession. Upon reaching level seventy, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul masters could truly transform into dragons.
For example, Yu Tianheng before him had already transformed his right arm into a dragon claw.
Seeing Zhou Chen actually scanning him with a gaze like he was watching a monkey show, Yu Tianheng was nearly driven mad with rage. He shouted furiously, "Brat, don't you have a broken sword? Summon your martial soul and fight me! Let's decide Yan's ownership!"
"Decide Yan's ownership? What right do you have?"
Zhou Chen sneered and said, "Do you treat women as commodities or goods, to be assigned at your whim? Have you ever respected women? Have you ever truly loved Yan?"
"Even Yan's grandfather, Senior Dugu, cherishes his granddaughter dearly, afraid she might fall or be hurt. What makes you so arrogant that you come up here and decide her future?"
"Are you a barbarian who only knows how to seize marriages? Or a soul beast whose mind has yet to evolve? You are insulting all women, including your own mother!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell into shock and deep thought.
On the Douluo Continent, where the weak were prey to the strong, even though many women could become powerful soul masters, overall, women's status was still very low.
Most men treated women as commodities, especially soul masters who revered strength above all else. They often used duels and wagers to decide women's marriages and futures, never once considering the women's own feelings.
Just like Yu Tianheng—he only wanted to fight Zhou Chen, but never asked Dugu Yan whether, even if he defeated Zhou Chen, she would actually choose to be with him.
Zhou Chen's words deeply touched almost all the female soul masters present.
Female students and female teachers alike looked at Zhou Chen with excited and reverent gazes, and at Dugu Yan with eyes full of envy and blessings.
A man who could consider women, respect them from the heart, and was both handsome and cool—how could he not make their hearts surge?
They practically wanted to throw themselves into the fire!
This was simply the perfect image of their dream man!
At this moment, Dugu Yan herself gazed at Zhou Chen with deep affection. Her eyes sparkled brilliantly, as if they were about to drip with emotion.
Zhou Chen's earlier words had completely melted her heart.
No wonder a woman as powerful and talented as Zhu Zhuqing, a Soul Saint, would choose a man like Zhou Chen.
Originally, Dugu Yan's feelings toward Zhou Chen had merely been favorable impressions mixed with admiration.
After all, the scene last night, where Zhou Chen transformed into golden light and fought her grandfather, had been witnessed by her personally.
A teenage boy capable of contending with a Titled Douluo—such a shocking, unprecedented sight naturally inspired awe in a girl who admired strength.
But admiration and love were, after all, two different things. At that time, Dugu Yan herself did not even know what she truly felt toward Zhou Chen.
Yet just now, Zhou Chen's heartfelt consideration for her and his scathing denunciation of Yu Tianheng made her fall in love with him without the slightest hesitation.
Sorry, Sister Zhuqing.
Such a good man… I am unwilling to let him slip away as well.
Dugu Yan thought silently, her gaze gradually becoming firm.
Seeing that his speech had intimidated everyone, Zhou Chen could not help but feel secretly pleased.
Sure enough, standing on the moral high ground while berating others was simply invincible.
A round of Earth-style feminist rhetoric like this, thrown at these feudal-era, ignorant fools, left them utterly unable to counterattack.
Take Yu Tianheng for example. Although he felt aggrieved, furious, and wronged, he could not utter a single rebuttal and could only become the target of criticism.
Seeing all the girls present looking at him with disdain and disgust, Yu Tianheng wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground and just die.
The intense frustration and rage made Yu Tianheng unable to restrain himself any longer. Today, he was determined to beat that pretty boy flat!
The next second, Yu Tianheng leaped into the air. His first soul ring flared brilliantly as dense lightning continuously flickered over his dragon claw.
First Soul Skill—Thunder Dragon Claw!
