Douluo: Marrying a Wife to Become a God, Having Children for Blessings

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Skywater Academy, the Heavenly Beauty Squad



"The Martial Ancestor is getting married… again!"

"After disappearing for thirty years, the first thing the Martial Ancestor does upon reappearing is to take a wife. Truly, age has only strengthened him—an enduring vitality!"

"Martial Ancestor might have already ascended to godhood. With immortality and eternal youth, how can one even use the term 'old' to describe him?"

"It's said that Martial Ancestor remains unchanged from his prime, untouched by the passage of time!"

"I've heard that this time, the Martial Ancestor's bride is Zhu Zhuyun, the eldest daughter of the noble Zhu Clan of the Star Luo Empire, whose inherited martial soul is the Netherworld Spirit Cat."

"Isn't the Zhu Clan traditionally allied with the royal Dai family of the Star Luo Empire through generations of marriage? Their Netherworld Spirit Cat and the Dai family's Evil-Eyed White Tiger can form a martial soul fusion skill, solidifying their bond."

"Hah, that's ancient history. What's a martial soul fusion skill worth compared to Martial Ancestor? Marrying Dai Weisi might make Zhu Zhuyun a crown princess, but even if Dai Weisi ascends to the throne, she'd only be an empress. How can that compare to becoming the Lady of the Martial Sect?"

"Marrying Martial Ancestor is truly a leap to the heavens—an ordinary bird becoming a phoenix. Even if it's in name only, it far surpasses being the Star Luo Empress. Let alone, this is the Martial Ancestor we're talking about!"

The entire continent was abuzz.

Envy and jealousy flooded the thoughts of all who spoke of the Zhu Clan and Zhu Zhuyun.

Today, the Martial Sect stood as a transcendent sanctuary, towering above the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Hall, and even the Clear Sky Clan. Its might dominated the land.

To align oneself with the Martial Ancestor was akin to a carp leaping through the dragon gate, soaring straight to the heavens.

The Ancestor's marriage set countless minds into motion. Families with daughters or granddaughters began scheming for their chance.

If not the Martial Ancestor himself, perhaps his offspring would suffice. Even marrying one of his children was considered an unparalleled blessing.

The Star Luo Empire

In the imperial palace:

"Damn it!"

"That wretch!"

"Wretch!"

Crown Prince Dai Weisi furiously smashed vases and treasures alike, his face contorted in rage.

Though he and Zhu Zhuyun were not officially betrothed, the long-standing tradition had all but guaranteed her as his future wife. Now, he felt utterly humiliated, as though he'd been cuckolded. Yet, there was nothing he could do.

Though he was the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, daring to cause trouble at the Martial Sect would result in his instant demise—possibly dragging the entire empire down with him.

Even the lowest elder of the Martial Sect could crush the royal family's strongest warriors. His fury was impotent.

The Star Luo Emperor, Dai Jinba, wore a similarly dark expression. The Zhu Clan had severed ties with the royal family by allying with the Martial Sect. Zhu Zhuyun had risen to become the Lady of the Martial Sect, and even he, the emperor, would need to bow in respect before her.

It was as if a commoner girl had become an imperial consort, and the emperor himself was but a mere landlord compared to the Martial Sect.

While the Dai family wallowed in misery, the Zhu Clan basked in celebration, lavishly preparing for the wedding. Nobles across the Star Luo Empire flocked to offer their congratulations, eager to curry favor with the newly ascendant clan.

Naturally, they too schemed ways to align themselves with the Martial Ancestor.

...

On this day, the Martial God City overflowed with throngs of people. The grand event drew representatives from all major powers of the Douluo Continent, each bringing their most beautiful daughters and granddaughters in hopes of catching the Ancestor's eye.

"Dai Weisi's face must be green with envy by now!"

Among the Star Luo Empire's delegation, none were more gleeful than Second Prince Dai Mubai, Dai Weisi's rival. He had come with Flender to witness the spectacle, accompanied by Ma Hongjun and Oscar.

"So many strong individuals!" Oscar marveled, sensing the powerful auras of those around him. Though their exact levels were indiscernible, their sheer presence was overwhelming.

"The Martial Ancestor is truly a model for all men. A true hero should live as he does!"

Ma Hongjun's small eyes darted around, ogling the stunning women present. His envy bubbled up as he imagined being in the Ancestor's place, surrounded by unparalleled beauties.

"Little fatty, your eyes are going to pop out," Oscar teased. "Last time, you only lost a tooth. Careful, or you'll lose your eyes this time."

Ma Hongjun immediately covered his mouth, fear flashing in his eyes as he recalled being punched by Zhou Yufeng. The mere thought made his teeth ache.

A crisp, bell-like voice interrupted them. "Wow, it's so lively!"

The trio turned instinctively toward the sound. A graceful girl, her skin like lychee and her youthful face radiant despite its immaturity, walked alongside a cold and imposing man in black.

"Grandpa Bone, will we see the Martial Ancestor soon?" the girl asked with eager curiosity.

"Of course," Bone Douluo replied with a gentle smile, his gaze doting.

"That's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's young sect master and their guardian, Bone Douluo!" Flender whispered, cautioning his companions to behave.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun exchanged solemn glances, the latter stifling his usual lecherous tendencies.

Moments later, a wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd. Heads turned as a group of stunning women approached, led by a regal, cold beauty exuding elegance and poise.

"That must be Skywater Academy!" Flender muttered, his tone tinged with awe. He cuffed Ma Hongjun on the head, warning him to control his behavior.

Despite his efforts, Ma Hongjun struggled to contain his growing excitement, overwhelmed by the sheer number of extraordinary beauties. Born a commoner, he'd never encountered such radiance before.

His body trembled, the internal 'evil fire' threatening to consume him.
