The long spear, radiating a dark-gold sharp aura, flickered with cold light as its tip rested precisely at Sword Douluo's throat. Luo Yu's deep black eyes were calm as still water. Sword Douluo loosened his grip on the Seven Kill Sword and let his arm fall.
"On the same level, this old man is not your match." Sword Douluo sighed as the Seven Kill Sword vanished in an instant.
Luo Yu shifted the tiger's-mouth grip on the spear, twisting his elbow and rotating his wrist as he withdrew the spear to his waist. His waist turned, locking the spear shaft and lifting the tip toward the sky. His bearing soared, carrying an effortless elegance.
The entire audience had already erupted. The academy's girls never expected Luo Yu to win—and win this beautifully. Their eyes had already turned into peach blossom-pink, overflowing with worship.
A bright, graceful girl flushed red with excitement."Face god-tier, temperament otherworldly, and most importantly—strength unmatched! Even though I know my junior brother will never belong to me, I still love him!"
"I didn't expect junior brother's strength was hidden this deep. I used to think he was…" another girl said in a daze.
The girls who previously bragged that they would "cover" Luo Yu now blushed one after another. Clearly they were the ones who should be hugging his thigh instead.
The same situation played out everywhere. Shui Yue'er also received countless thumbs-up and praises, because earlier she was the only one who firmly believed Luo Yu would win.
Dean Shen Linghan was completely stunned.This talent, this strength—and he entered through backdoor connections? Of all things, why barge into her bedroom at midnight instead of going anywhere else?
Su Yaoyun cast her a smug glance, though she was faintly startled as well. She didn't expect Luo Yu to have so many hidden methods. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with pride and satisfaction as her fragrant tongue brushed lightly over her red lips.
Ning Fengzhi stared intently at the scene inside, his thoughts unknown.
Sword Douluo maintained the composure of someone who could accept defeat. He sighed:"This old man once roamed the continent, but I have never seen a monstrous genius like you. Each generation produces new talent—I truly cannot deny I'm getting old."
Luo Yu had already put away the spear, the cold aura gone without a trace. Looking at Sword Douluo, he smiled."Senior, you flatter me. If you only suppressed your soul power without restricting the explosion of your physical strength, I wouldn't be your match."
"Bah, this old man is not that shameless. Losing to a junior is nothing. But if I used the physical strength tempered over so many years, that would be truly disgraceful." Sword Douluo laughed at himself.
"All right, a loss is a loss. I admit it. Fengzhi must admit it as well. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can afford to lose."
Looking at the proud, upright Sword Douluo, Luo Yu smiled. A swordsman like this truly deserved respect.
Back at the shore, Luo Yu was greeted by thunderous cheers and applause. Not only had he won honor for the academy, they had also witnessed the rise of an unrivaled genius. Some bold girls looked ready to jump directly into his arms.
"Grandpa Jian…" Ning Rongrong was happy for Luo Yu but also distressed seeing Sword Douluo defeated.
"Uncle Jian?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Sword Douluo waved casually."This old man was useless and lost the match. You handle the rest yourself."
"It's not your fault." Ning Fengzhi shook his head. Looking toward Luo Yu walking over, he said, "Little brother, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does not wrongfully lose. Your title of 'invincible among same level' is deserved."
Facing praise from all directions, Luo Yu replied calmly,"What use is invincible among the same level? In a true life-and-death fight, no one reports their age. Only those who truly surpass the ages will be remembered. My strength is insignificant."
The moment these words landed, the surroundings fell silent. Not a whisper remained.
Ning Fengzhi had seen countless geniuses over the years, but never one like Luo Yu—who, after a glorious victory, remained neither proud nor arrogant, his heart as calm as still water.
Such talent, such strength, such temperament—Ning Fengzhi felt his body heating up. Looking at Luo Yu was like appraising a peerless jade. His admiration almost overflowed.
"Little friend, which hidden clan do you come from? Would you be willing to tell me?" Ning Fengzhi asked excitedly.
"No sect, no clan."
Ning Fengzhi brightened, just about to speak—
But a woman's gentle cough sounded from afar.
"Sect Master Ning, considering the situation now…" Su Yaoyun smiled lightly, not continuing the sentence.
Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile."To have such a prodigy in your academy, I truly did not expect it. No wonder Dean Shen was willing to break the rules to admit him. We have lost convincingly. The resources we promised in the wager will be delivered soon."
Su Yaoyun nodded.
Shen Linghan stood awkwardly to the side. Heaven knew why this kid was this strong.
Ning Fengzhi approached Luo Yu with a warm smile."Since little friend has no affiliation, would you be willing to join my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after graduating from Tianshui Academy?"
"Hm?" Luo Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"We can't guarantee everything, but heavenly treasures and rare spiritual items—anything money can buy—will be provided without limit." Ning Fengzhi promised without blinking. Luo Yu's value in his heart was evident.
"Our junior brother is going to soar to the heavens."
"That's one of the Upper Three Sects—strength second only to Spirit Hall!"
"Looks, strength, background—he'll have everything. Girls, give up. Even lining up to simp won't get us close."
Amid the chatter, Luo Yu cupped his hands and smiled."Sect Master Ning, your kindness is appreciated. I'm just used to being free. But after graduating, I'm willing to consider settling in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes dimmed slightly. With his wisdom, he could hear Luo Yu's meaning—this wasn't a direct promise. But he also knew that a prodigy like this couldn't be drawn in easily. Patience was needed.
As he spoke, he felt his daughter tugging at his sleeve with her pouting lips.
"My daughter sincerely wishes to join your academy. Might you grant her a chance?" Ning Fengzhi asked, clearly with his own intentions.
Shen Linghan said coolly,"If we break the rules today, countless parents will bring their children tomorrow. Wouldn't the academy descend into chaos?"
"This is reasonable." Ning Fengzhi nodded.
Su Yaoyun played the "good cop.""Dean, Sect Master Ning is donating a full year's resources to our academy. What harm could one exception do?"
"With so many children watching—if every person donates something and asks for an exception, wouldn't our rules become decoration?" Shen Linghan glared at her.
Su Yaoyun walked over to Ning Rongrong."Ning Rongrong, right?"
"Mm."
"You truly want to join our academy? Honestly, there's nothing special here."
"But any place he is will definitely not be ordinary." Ning Rongrong declared firmly.
"Our rules cannot be broken. But if you're willing to work as a miscellaneous worker here for one month—contribute to the academy—I can try convincing the dean to accept you." Su Yaoyun said suddenly.
Sword Douluo frowned slightly but stayed silent. Ning Fengzhi smiled—this was clearly a way to gently reject her. The opportunity was given; if she refused, no one could complain.
Ning Rongrong looked steadily at the handsome young man whose lazy aura had returned. Strange emotions rose in her heart. She bit her lip and nodded firmly."I'm willing!"
Ning Fengzhi: "???"
Shen Linghan was also dumbfounded."The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little princess giving up luxury just to come suffer here? Unreal!"
Luo Yu was speechless too. He wanted to say:Sister, we're not even familiar. Don't do this…
He suddenly recalled those obsessive fans from his previous life—yet Ning Rongrong seemed even worse.
In the end, Ning Rongrong stayed. The academy arranged housing for her. Luo Yu also earned a batch of resources for the academy. Before leaving, Ning Fengzhi tried again to recruit Luo Yu, and Sword Douluo gazed at him with hopeful admiration.
Night deepened. Su Yaoyun and Shen Linghan chatted beside the candlelit window.
"What were you thinking today?" Shen Linghan asked coolly.
Su Yaoyun pouted."It was for you and for the academy."
"The continent's situation is uncertain. The Pope of Spirit Hall has been possessed by that thing. We are alone—of course we can't survive like this. We need allies early. Or do you want to see the Abyss invade the entire continent?"
Shen Linghan fell silent.
Su Yaoyun said,"If our side grows strong enough, we may even free the real Pope from that creature's control."
"The Pope isn't dead?" Shen Linghan exclaimed.
Su Yaoyun rolled her eyes."How could she be? She would never use her own soul to inherit a godhood. With her Nightmare Art, she can hide inside the spiritual sea and manipulate the Pope with illusions."
"We originally had two plans. First was to infiltrate the God Realm and wait for an opportunity. The key was a genius with the qualifications to inherit a godhood—slowly guiding her to receive the divine inheritance. Once she ascends and enters the God Realm, we eliminate her original soul in one strike. No one would notice."
"That's even possible?" Shen Linghan doubted.
Su Yaoyun said,"The Abyssal Holy Lord's strength rivals a first-level godhood. He chose only the two of us out of the entire Abyssal Plane because we are the most suitable. Our spiritual simulations were carried out countless times. Failure? Impossible. But now that the God Realm is cut off, that creature is getting restless."
"Heh." Shen Linghan sneered coldly.
"What are you laughing at?"
"If you had obediently carried out the soul-seizing plan, your current strength would be completely different."
Su Yaoyun scoffed."Who wants someone else's body? I have no such ambition. I just want to live comfortably. I won't let that filthy plane corrupt this place."
"But the other one took the shortcut. You can't beat her now." Shen Linghan jabbed mercilessly.
"Shut up!" Su Yaoyun snapped. "We'll find a way."
Back in her room, Su Yaoyun's pink eyes showed worry. Nightmare—that vile woman—would never let her live peacefully. But letting the Abyssal Holy Lord, that filthy lecher, into Douluo Continent was something she would never allow.
"What to do…" Su Yaoyun sighed softly, troubled. Allies weren't easy to recruit, and dealing with Nightmare was even harder.
Her fair skin exposed, wearing only a casual pink top, Su Yaoyun sat cross-legged on her bed to cultivate soul power. She discovered that after breaking her innate physical shackles, her cultivation speed was much smoother.
With her extraordinary spiritual power, the growth of her physical soul power was so rapid it could only be described as surging. But she could faintly sense the limit—once she reached Soul Saint, her progress would stall again due to innate flaws.
Anxiety flashed in her pink eyes. She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, then smiled charmingly.
Swaying her fiery waist, she stepped off the bed and retrieved two seductive outfits from the wardrobe. Her naturally enchanting, devastatingly beautiful face flushed slightly.
"Promises should be kept. It's time to give that little man a reward…"
