Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

As the meeting was about to adjourn, Qin Zheng of the Qin Family narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Elder Luo, over the years, which foreign forces have harbored murderous intentions toward our God's Child? Just so we all know where we stand."

Luo Tiance said, "Ancient Buddha Holy Land, Pantheon of Gods, Dark Council, and Olympus have all sent people to secretly probe the reality of the God's Child without rashly taking action."

"Takamanopara, on the other hand, has had murder in its heart. They have sent assassins and ninja twice to kill, but all were intercepted and slain by me in secret."

"Damn it!"

Zhu Wushi cursed furiously.

"Those sons of bitches, I haven't even thought of troubling them yet, but they dare to come knocking on our door."

Liu Shengji couldn't help but say:

"Elder Luo, are you confused? Why kill those ninjas? You should have kept them for interrogation, to extract their value."

Luo Tiance sneered.

"What's there to interrogate?"

"Our feud with Takamanopara is irreconcilable."

"Who wouldn't want to annihilate the other?"

"That's right," Zhao Yingtian nodded, "Those bastards have nothing else going for them, just stubbornness. You can't get anything out of them; their mouths would stay shut even if soaked in water for three days."

"That's truly disgusting." Zhu Wushi's expression twisted with revulsion as if flames were about to shoot from his eyes, "Those little runts, if Old Zhu gets a chance, I'll smash them all to smithereens."

Cao Xiong smiled coldly.

"If it weren't for the protection of the Pantheon of Gods, which one of us seated here would have been able to refrain from killing them?"

"Enough."

Luo Tiance ended the topic.

"A tiny place not worth mentioning, just a bunch of jumping clowns. We'll wait for the opportunity to settle both old and new scores with them."

"You're going to break through?" Cao Xiong's keen senses picked up on a hint of information, his face one of great joy.

The other seven also turned their gazes intently upon him, very concerned.

Luo Tiance nodded in confirmation.

The group clenched their fists tightly, their faces filled with immense joy, extremely uplifted.

The pressure of God's Child growing stronger had been looming like a dark cloud over the top echelon of Great Xia.

Naturally, receiving such good news made them overjoyed.

But after the joy, each of them looked at Luo Tiance as if looking at a monster.

They were all blessed by the Blessing of the Heroic Spirit; whether it was their perception of skills or the speed of their cultivation, it was many times faster than that of common folk.

Yet, despite their hard cultivation over the years without rest, they were still only at First Grade, while Luo Tiance was about to break through to a new realm.

What kind of monster was this?

They sighed inwardly.

This was why Elder Luo's son and grandson weren't so frightening, otherwise, they would have been scared to death.

Luo Tiance, without showing any pleasure amongst the congratulatory words, in fact, his gaze grew more solemn.

"Do not be too quick to rejoice, gentlemen."

"If I can break through, it means that the world's suppressive force on higher-level creatures has loosened, and it's another step closer to the revival of the gods."

All eight faces stiffened, and Liu Shengji said with a wry smile:

"Elder Luo, for many years, we finally hear good news, can't you let us be happy for a while longer?"

Luo Tiance shook his head.

"Pressure is the driving force; you all need to make an effort as well."

"Give me a break, who advances as freakishly fast in their cultivation as you do?" Zhu Wushi grumbled involuntarily.

"Hmm?"

Luo Tiance shifted his gaze toward him, and Zhu Wushi immediately shut his mouth; he was brash, not stupid.

Liu Shengji at this moment, with his eyes shimmering, curiously asked:

"By the way, Elder Luo, can you covertly tell us what your grandson's current cultivation level is?"

"Yeah, you've kept it quite close to the vest, it's been hidden for eighteen years now. It's time to let your grandson shine in public. The God's Child of other forces has been very high-profile with quite a few impressive achievements," added Cao Xiong and others.

Luo Tiance said coldly:

"If you are expecting my grandson to have some extraordinary combat power, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. For many years, he has never practiced any cultivation techniques and has no strength to speak of."

"What?"

The crowd was somewhat shocked, not believing what they had heard.

"Come on, Elder Luo, you're not pulling our leg, are you?" Zhao Yingtian said, half jest, half earnest, "Even if your grandson is subpar, he couldn't possibly be worse than an ordinary martial artist, right?"

Luo Tiance replied:

"What can I do when the kid thinks about nothing but 'lying flat' all day and has no interest in cultivating?"

"Uh..."

The crowd was even more shocked; was there actually someone who could leave Luo Tiance, Luo Sword God, Luo Director-General, utterly helpless?

Zhu Wushi clenched his fists saying, "If he doesn't listen, then beat him! Our Little Zhu kid is like a hooligan; I beat him eight times a day."

"Heh," Cao Xiong sneered from the side, "Are you sure your grandson didn't learn it from you? Like father, like son."

"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!" Zhu Wushi retorted, "My grandson may not be upstanding and isn't worth a damn, but at least he doesn't have a bizarre fetish for other men's wives, right?"

"You old fart, are you talking about me without mentioning names?" Cao Xiong got angry, his eyes bulging.

Zhu Wushi smirked roguishly.

"Haha, someone's taking it personally."

"Cut it out, you two. Can't you help but argue every time you meet? Is that it?" Liu Shengji massaged his forehead, playing peacemaker.

"We're concerned about Elder Luo's grandson; we already know about your grandsons' reputations."

Luo Tiance stated indifferently:

"My grandson is indeed in such a state. He may lack cultivation, but if we're talking about looks and temperament, amongst all your descendants..."

The rest of his thoughts went unsaid.

It didn't fit his aloof style.

Luo Tiance wondered if he was starting to be influenced by his grandson's fondness for showing off.
