171: Chapter 171 A Lack of Martial Morality, an Extremely Yin Soul

Lu Yun was stunned when he saw Zhou Bai directly calling someone to report him.

He never imagined that this Zhou Bai would be such an oddball.

Calling the Alliance Leader of the University Alliance over directly and claiming he wanted to snatch his Azure Cloud Thunder Dragon.

The other martial artists around were also stunned. A core disciple of the Spark Holy Temple wanted to snatch Zhou Bai's Azure Cloud Thunder Dragon?

Lu Yun had consciously suppressed his voice just now, so the other martial artists hadn't noticed much.

They only vaguely felt that the atmosphere between the two sides was a bit off.

They hadn't expected that a core disciple of the Spark Holy Temple actually wanted to snatch Zhou Bai's Azure Cloud Thunder Dragon.

This caused the expressions of many martial artists looking at Lu Yun to turn slightly subtle, their eyes filled with disdain and anger.

After all, Zhou Bai had recently won the precious World Martial Arts Competition Champion title for Great Xia.

While Lu Yun was a disciple of the Spark Holy Temple, in everyone's hearts, he was far inferior to Zhou Bai.

Liu Xinyue, who was beside Lu Yun, also had a slight change in expression. She hadn't expected Zhou Bai to not follow the usual script and call for backup directly.

"Lu Yun, you want to snatch his Azure Cloud Thunder Dragon? You've got quite the nerve!"

Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Song Wangtian stared sharply at Lu Yun not far away, his aura surging continuously as if he were about to suppress the entire world.

"Alliance Leader Song, I didn't. This guy is slandering me. I have an Eighth-Order Beast King, how could I be interested in his Seventh-Order Beast King? This is slander!"

Feeling Song Wangtian's anger, Lu Yun hurriedly defended himself.

When he was threatening Zhou Bai just now, he had lowered his voice, so no one else nearby had heard it.

Lu Yun was confident he could resolve this issue.

"I have evidence here!"

Not far away, Zhou Bai followed up calmly. As he spoke, he took out his phone and played a recording.

"I'm telling you, just you wait. I'm definitely taking your Azure Cloud Thunder Dragon. When the time comes, I'll have my ways of dealing with you!"

"Are you threatening me?"

"Heh, as long as you understand. I am a core disciple of the Spark Holy Temple; handling you is no different from handling an ant. However, you no longer have a chance. Just wait until the cultivation ends; you'll learn the true weight of a Starfire core disciple!"

The content of the recording was exactly what Lu Yun had said to threaten Zhou Bai just now.

"Good, good, good. You kid, you actually recorded it. Are you unable to play fair?!"

Hearing this recording, Lu Yun's face turned green.

He never expected Zhou Bai's methods to be so underhanded—reporting him without any martial morality and even recording his threats.

This kind of operation, while not very damaging, was truly extremely insulting.

It made a top genius of the Spark Holy Temple like Lu Yun feel a burst of grievance in his heart.

"Lu Yun, oh Lu Yun. Student Zhou Bai just won the World Martial Arts Competition Champion title for our Great Xia; he is a hero of our Great Xia. For you to bully others like this, this Heavenly Thunder Valley does not welcome you for cultivation. Furthermore, I will report your matter to the Spark Holy Temple and let them punish you!"

Hearing the recording, Song Wangtian's face became extremely unsightly as he spoke angrily to Lu Yun.

"Alliance... Alliance Leader Song, there's... no need to make such a mountain out of a molehill, right? I haven't snatched it yet, it was just a verbal threat..."

Lu Yun said hurriedly.

Lu Yun didn't really care about not entering the Heavenly Thunder Valley to cultivate, but if this matter was reported to the Spark Holy Temple, the impact on him would be immense.

The resources of the Spark Holy Temple were also limited and required competition among disciples. If this kind of thing happened to him, his ability to compete for resources would be greatly affected, which was not what he wanted to see.

He also hadn't expected Song Wangtian to shield this guy to such an extent.

Liu Xinyue, beside Lu Yun, looked at Zhou Bai with a strange expression. Clearly, she had also heard of Zhou Bai and knew of his performance in the World Martial Arts Competition.

"If you had snatched it, you would already be locked in the Martial Arts Alliance's prison by now!"

Song Wangtian continued indifferently, his tone extremely cold.

"Of course, if you can obtain Zhou Bai's forgiveness, I can waive the report!"

After Song Wangtian finished speaking, Lu Yun's expression became extremely unsightly.

To obtain Zhou Bai's forgiveness, wouldn't that mean he, a core disciple of the Spark Holy Temple, had to bow his head to a low-level martial artist?

He was a core member of the Spark Holy Temple, how could he...

Lu Yun wanted to refuse, but thinking about the impact he would face after being reported, he simply had no choice.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Bai. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yun walked up to Zhou Bai with a face full of humiliation and spoke through gritted teeth.

"A mere verbal request seems a bit too insincere, don't you think?"

Zhou Bai looked at Lu Yun in front of him calmly and spoke indifferently.

Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Lu Yun felt even more humiliated, wishing he could give Zhou Bai a harsh lesson.

He was a core member of the Spark Holy Temple; after apologizing to him, the guy actually dared to ask for benefits.

It was simply too outrageous...

But, thinking that he had already bowed his head, the loss would be too great if he turned hostile now.

"Fine. Student Zhou Bai, here are four portions of SS-grade resource, Extreme Yin Soul Fiend. They can significantly increase mental power. Please forgive me, Student Zhou Bai!"

Lu Yun gritted his teeth, took out four jade bottles, and handed them to Zhou Bai.

"Extreme Yin Soul Fiend!"

Zhou Bai took Lu Yun's jade bottles and then opened one, immediately feeling a terrifying spiritual essence contained within.

This spiritual essence was extremely pure, but there were strands of fierce aura constantly surging within it.

After taking in a tiny bit of the spiritual essence, Zhou Bai felt that his mental power seemed to have a slight increase.

Clearly, this Extreme Yin Soul Fiend was indeed a top-tier cultivation resource.

"Fine, then I'll reluctantly forgive you!"

Looking at the four jade bottles in front of him, Zhou Bai nodded and spoke indifferently.

He also knew that this guy had only made a verbal threat. Even if it were reported, there would be some impact, but not too much punishment.

Instead of that, it was better to get the benefits first.

Hearing that Zhou Bai was willing to forgive him, Lu Yun felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Since Zhou Bai has forgiven you, I won't report this matter. You may leave; your slot for the Heavenly Thunder Valley has been revoked!"

Song Wangtian also spoke slowly, his gaze fixed directly on Lu Yun.

"Yes, Alliance Leader Song!"

Lu Yun gave Zhou Bai a deep look, then after bidding farewell to Liu Xinyue, he left the entrance of the Heavenly Thunder Valley directly.

"Alliance Leader Song, sorry for the trouble!"

After Lu Yun left, Zhou Bai spoke slowly to Song Wangtian.

"It's nothing. Your approach was correct. If anything happens in the future, you can look for me anytime!"

Song Wangtian looked at Zhou Bai and spoke slowly.

Song Wangtian valued a genius like Zhou Bai very much.

Moreover, his performance at the World Martial Arts Competition was so stunning that he would surely become a great figure in the future. Song Wangtian was naturally happy to protect Zhou Bai.

He was only afraid that Zhou Bai would be young and impetuous, trying to solve problems with his own strength.

Seeing Zhou Bai like this now made him feel much more at ease.
