Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"Good, good."

Luo Tiance's stern face showed a loving smile, "If you don't want to cultivate, Grandpa won't force you. I will always protect you in the future, and no one else will think of bullying my grandson."

"Only..."

"I'm just afraid that if one day Grandpa is no longer around..."

"That won't happen!" Luo Yu stopped the old man from continuing, "Grandpa's strength is unparalleled in the world, there won't be any danger."

Luo Tiance sighed:

"Right now, the situation in Great Xia is not good, not only do we need to deal with the ferocious beast crisis that could appear at any moment."

"Moreover, although the various major powers seem calm on the surface, in fact, undercurrents are already raging within, and war will break out sooner or later."

"And according to the images sent back by the satellites, the dark spots covering some regions of Earth are gradually expanding. No power has been able to find out what's happening inside the area covered by the black fog. All electronic equipment breaks down instantly upon entering, and no person sent in has returned."

Luo Yu frowned.

"Haven't you gone in to investigate?"

"I have investigated, but just as I entered the edge of the black fog, before I could delve deeper, the State-Defending Divine Sword gave a warning, and my instincts honed from years of cultivation could also sense a major crisis inside. If I were a loner, I could risk going in for a deeper investigation."

"But if I were to fall, Great Xia would be headless and in trouble, so I withdrew."

As he said this, Luo Tiance's old face became serious and he concealed his inner worries.

The taller one bears the brunt when the sky falls.

It would be better if he shouldered any crisis that arose; why should he disturb his grandson's carefree life and let him share his worries?

At this time, Luo Yu said:

"Grandpa, don't worry."

"How can I bear to let you endure all this alone."

"I will definitely help you."

"Hahaha." Luo Tiance laughed and patted the young man's shoulder, "Your words are enough."

Luo Yu snorted softly.

"I see a strong distrust on your face."

"Cough cough."

Truthfully, it was distrust.

When Luo Yu was born, Luo Tiance was overjoyed, believing his grandson had the potential of a great emperor and would one day be invincible in the world.

But over the years, Luo Yu had not shown anything extraordinary, first being sleepy, then refusing to cultivate any technique, and had already missed the golden age for cultivation.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, but Luo Tiance never showed it.

After all, if the safety of Great Xia completely relied on a child, it would mean these old folks were too incompetent; they still needed to redouble their efforts.

The more effort he, the old man, put in, the less his children and grandchildren would need to exert themselves.

Luo Tiance looked at the setting sun and the red sky, calming his breath before saying:

"Grandpa has come to terms with it now, as long as you are healthy, happy, and living a happy life, that's good enough."

"I have no other extravagant hopes."

Luo Yu looked at the somewhat forlorn figure of the old man.

Explaining:

"Grandpa, I'll tell you the truth."

"It's not that I don't want to cultivate, but the techniques you've provided are just not quite there."

"Not quite there?"

Luo Tiance withdrew his gaze and looked at the young man, his eyes fierce.

"The techniques Grandpa picked for you are among the top-tier cultivation arts of Great Xia, and you say they're not quite there?"

"Yeah." Luo Yu curled his lip, "Cultivating those trash techniques, how far can one possibly get?"

"What a bold statement!"

Luo Tiance was almost amused by his outrage.

"The technique Grandpa cultivates is a top-tier technique unearthed from the ruins of gods, and you call that trash?"

"If you look down on that, what can you possibly approve of?"

Luo Yu had heard of the ruins of gods.

Since the Cataclysm of 2031, as various anomalies mushroomed all over the world, ancient ruins of gods started to appear.

Small ruins might just be a temple, where one could find treasures or techniques.

Large ruins could span an ancient battlefield, where bones and armor that had endured countless eras were found everywhere.

And Luo Tiance's State-Defending Divine Sword and his cultivation technique were discovered in an unearthed imperial mausoleum.

"Grandpa, don't worry, the technique I will cultivate in the future will definitely be the strongest in this starry sky, without a doubt."

Luo Tiance instinctively wanted to say it was impossible, mere wishful thinking.

After all, according to intelligence, the gods of the West had already bestowed God Rank methods, for their God's Children and other outstanding geniuses to cultivate.

But he didn't want to crush Luo Yu's spirit.

After all, young people always have ambitions before reality beats them down.

Dreams are always there, just in case they come true.

"Okay, Grandpa will wait for you to be the number one in the world, like the legendary heroes of ancient times, dominating the land and shaking Great Xia!"

Luo Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes and pout because he saw the full disbelief in Luo Tiance's eyes.

It's coming soon.

The Nameless Divine Skill he had been diligently studying and practicing was about to be mastered.

No, that's not right, it's just the beginning!

"These are for you."

Luo Tiance's calloused hands were holding three items.

"A bead shining with flowing light, a jade pendant engraved with dragon patterns, and a bronze ring."

"What are these?" Luo Yu wondered aloud.

Luo Tiance explained:

"The Huanling Pearl, capable of simulating illusions, so lifelike they can deceive the real; the Energy Storage Jade Pendant, which can unleash the stored aura of a powerful being; and the Soul-storing Ring, which contains Grandpa's spiritual power and can cover your body with spiritual power to instantly enhance your combat strength when activated."

"Uh..." Luo Yu said in surprise, "Are these the legendary 'show-off trifecta'?"

"Even if I'm just an ordinary person, could I really show off as much as I wish?"

"Crude!"

Luo Tiance said:

"If you carry these three treasures and use them properly, no one will doubt your identity as God's Child anymore."

"Grandpa has been worrying about your sleeping sickness for years, so he hasn't been at ease about you going out. But now, both inside and outside our territory, they are starting to doubt your identity as God's Child, suspecting you to be an impostor, so it's time for you to go out and walk around."

Luo Yu's eyes lit up.

"Grandpa, you're willing to let me go out now?"

"Yes." Luo Tiance nodded.

Luo Yu rubbed his hands together.

For many years, because of his cultivation of the Nameless Technique, he had not yet had the chance to experience the wonderful things of the world. Now that the technique was about to be perfected and the old man had given his permission, why not go out and enjoy himself?

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll definitely keep a low profile when I go out and won't let anyone discover my whereabouts. There won't be any problems," Luo Yu assured.

Luo Tiance's eyes narrowed and he stared intently.

"Is that okay?"

"Low profile, my ass, you need to be high-profile, make a big splash and let the whole world see the majesty of God's Child."

"They doubt it, so let's stir up some noise."

"Just make sure to act real enough not to give yourself away."

Luo Yu's mouth twitched.

This...

Others try to be as discreet as possible, but do I have to show off ostentatiously because I can't keep it low-key?

Ordered to show off, the most lethal!

"Alright, Grandpa, I got it. I'll go out and have a good time right away, and you just wait and see," Luo Yu said.

"What have you understood?" Luo Tiance asked, with an uneasy feeling.

Luo Yu waved his hand.

"Just be a high-profile person, do high-profile things!

"Do what others dare not do, show off where others dare not show off."

Luo Tiance nearly collapsed in his Daoist heart and fell to the ground.

"You..."

"Are you sure you understood?"

"Easy there, easy! Don't forget, you have to attend the Ancient Spirits Awakening Ceremony in seven days. It's a must."

"I got it! Go there and put on a show, I understand!" Luo Yu laughed as he waved and left, returning to his luxuriously independent villa that rose from the ground, where he freshened up and changed clothes with the help of the maids.

Flanked by two teams of black-suited bodyguards, he boarded Great Xia's latest high-end levitating rocket-propelled supercar. With the engine roaring like a ferocious beast, he sped out of the Luo Family Mansion, followed by an eye-catching procession of luxurious black vehicles.

All along the way, the ostentatious motorcade attracted countless onlookers, and the license plate [Xia A:11111] shocked everyone even more.

Inside the car window, Luo Yu, with his neat hairstyle, wearing a plain white short sleeve and floral shorts.

Even such an old-fashioned outfit could not hide his celestial-like charm.

Looking out the window at the swiftly passing streets and the stunned and envious crowd, he shook his head and said:

"I'm eighteen and haven't been to a club with models yet!"

"It's embarrassing even to mention it!!"

"Let's go!"
