Chapter 29 Champion! The "Witch" Dugu Yan! The Steady Lu Yu
Zhang Fang never imagined that the golden seal seemed to possess eyes of its own—it twisted mid-air and homed in on him!
What horrified him even more was...
The golden seal's speed was faster than his full-speed burst!
In just a few breaths, Zhang Fang watched in despair as the seal grew larger and larger in his vision, smashing down toward his head.
Bang!
Just as the golden seal was about to crash into Zhang Fang, the golden glow abruptly dimmed. At the same time, it quickly shrank back into a palm-sized jade seal, striking his forehead directly.
Even so, Zhang Fang was still knocked unconscious, blood spilling as he plummeted like a kite with a snapped string.
The referee rushed forward to catch him, checked Zhang Fang's condition, and declared loudly:
> "Lu Yu wins!"
He then carried the unconscious Zhang Fang off the ring for treatment.
Only now did the stunned students in the spectator stands finally return to their senses.
As Lu Yu put away his martial spirit, the eyes of every student shifted.
There was no jealousy or envy—just shock and awe.
It wasn't that they didn't long for such a soul ring configuration. But even when they were at level 20, they never dared absorb a thousand-year soul ring.
To absorb a soul ring beyond one's limit... was to flirt with death!
No one could have imagined that Lu Yu's first spirit ring had already exceeded the limit, and his second was equivalent to the best configuration of a normal third ring.
As for the third ring… it had already reached over 7,000 years!
At that moment, Prince Xuexing descended from the platform.
He walked up to Lu Yu with an indifferent expression, handed over a token, and said:
> "This is a VIP token for the Heaven Dou Auction, to be held in three days."
> "Someone will come collect it after the auction."
> "Do not lose it!"
> "As for the 100,000 gold soul coin prize, the Academic Affairs Council will distribute it to you later."
With that, Prince Xuexing turned and left, striding away with his usual arrogance—never caring about ordinary people.
Watching his back, Lu Yu's gaze turned subtle.
In his past life—or rather, the past life before that—this sly fox could've won an Oscar for best actor.
Putting the token into his soul guide ring, Lu Yu turned and leapt off the platform.
At that moment, a delicate fragrance drifted into his nose. Dugu Yan rushed over, latching onto his arm as if declaring her territory. She looked up at the girls in the stands, then turned to Lu Yu and blinked mischievously:
> "You won the championship and got 100,000 gold soul coins. Why not treat me to a celebratory meal?"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said with visible annoyance:
> "Senior sister, we're not that close, are we?"
Everyone in the spectator seats was eavesdropping, and when they heard this, the female students' eyes lit up, while the male students looked incredulous.
The famous beauty Dugu Yan was throwing herself at him—and Lu Yu was pushing her away?
But then, Dugu Yan pouted and said pitifully:
> "We spent a whole night together… how can you turn your back and pretend it didn't happen?"
The audience erupted.
Lu Yu's mouth twitched slightly. Without saying another word, he dragged Dugu Yan away.
If he let this witch keep talking, he'd probably become public enemy number one—a heartless scumbag who abandoned a girl after spending the night together.
Ignoring all the bewildered stares, Lu Yu returned to the dormitory—with Dugu Yan following closely behind.
After they entered, Lu Yu turned his head to look at her and sighed helplessly:
> "Why are you still following me?"
If it had been anyone else, he would've kicked them out—or even beaten them up.
But the issue was…
There's a Titled Douluo behind this woman!
And worse—that Titled Douluo was currently at the academy.
Given Dugu Bo's temperament, if Lu Yu so much as laid a finger on his granddaughter, the old man would probably go berserk.
Dugu Yan's gaze drifted downwards with a teasing smirk:
> "I just want to see how big Brother Lu Yu has grown…"
Lu Yu's face darkened:
> "I saved your life. This is how you repay me?"
Dugu Yan replied innocently:
> "Isn't pledging myself to you enough?"
Lu Yu was speechless.
Then suddenly, Dugu Yan's playful smile faded. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and said through gritted teeth:
> "Why did you lie to me?"
Lu Yu paused for a moment, then realized what she meant—it was about what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Still, he feigned ignorance and calmly replied:
> "What are you talking about?"
Dugu Yan snorted coldly:
> "I'll be honest. When we were in the Star Dou Great Forest, my grandfather was secretly protecting me!"
> "That day, when I suffered martial spirit backlash, why did you save me and then lie about it?"
Lu Yu looked confused:
> "Your grandfather?"
Dugu Yan raised her chin proudly:
> "The one sitting next to Prince Xuexing today—that's my grandfather, Dugu Bo!"
> "Title: Poison!"
Lu Yu acted startled, widening his eyes:
> "A Titled Douluo?!"
Dugu Yan looked immensely pleased with herself.
Lu Yu fell silent for a moment. Then, with a wave of his hand, several items spilled onto the coffee table: gold soul coins, a few books, and a pile of miscellaneous belongings.
Sitting right on top—
—a boldly styled half-cup bra.
Dugu Yan's face froze, and then turned red. Just as she was about to lash out, Lu Yu cut her off:
> "Since you had a powerful protector with you, there was no need for me to save you that day."
> "We had an agreement—you give me a storage soul guide, and I protect you during the ring absorption process."
> "These items you gave me—I'm returning them all."
> "From this moment on, we owe each other nothing!"
Lu Yu's words left Dugu Yan completely stunned. Her expression turned from red to pale.
After a long silence, she stomped her foot hard—and stormed off without taking the items.
Lu Yu let out a long breath, glanced at the clutter on the table, and rubbed his temple.
Thank goodness she left the things behind. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to get rid of her.
Dugu Yan was undeniably beautiful—her waist like a lithe snake's, elegant and alluring. Lu Yu couldn't pretend he had no thoughts about her.
But the problem was…
If he dared to steal the cabbage Dugu Bo had raised for over a decade right under his nose, who knew if the old guy would slaughter him in a fit of rage?
Until his strength caught up—he had to stay low-key!
Not long after Dugu Yan left, representatives from the Academic Affairs Council came to his dorm.
They delivered the 100,000 gold soul coin prize, as well as his monthly cultivation stipend, totaling 110,000 gold soul coins.
Including the 10,000 from last month, Lu Yu now had 120,000 gold soul coins.
But he knew full well—
This little money wouldn't even be enough to make a splash at the Heaven Dou Auction…
Fortunately, he had some rare treasures on hand.
If something truly valuable appeared at the auction, he could consider putting up the golden-red fruit for bidding.
A fruit capable of evolving dragon bloodlines would definitely incite a fierce bidding war among all spirit masters with dragon-type martial spirits.
