Shui Bing'er clapped her hands toward the five graceful young girls, "Ladies, he finally came all the way here. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to have him spar with us?"
"Sure!!" Mo Xue jumped out excitedly.
"Swish." Cool and composed, Yi Na's Ice Blade Martial Soul appeared instantly in her hand without a word.
Seeing the girls surrounding him in a circle and Shui Bing'er's triumphant expression, Luo Yu's mouth twitched. "Early in the morning, knives and weapons? What's going on here?"
Shui Yue'er rolled her eyes at him. "Sister wants you to spar with us. Without strong opponents in regular training, it's easy to panic when facing real enemies in competition."
"So I'm just here to be the punching bag?" Luo Yu shrugged.
Seeing Luo Yu's reluctance, Xue Wu stepped forward and tugged at his shirt corner. "Come on, big brother, trample us hard, I beg you!"
"Ugh." A vein appeared on Luo Yu's forehead. The academy girls had practically figured out all his tricks; he hated this the most.
"Let's begin! Do you want to go one by one, or all at once?" Luo Yu cleared his throat.
"Of course, we'll all attack you together!" Xue Wu declared matter-of-factly. Her body surged with combat intent, leaving behind her previous coquettish demeanor.
Soon, both sides took their positions at the center of the field. Luo Yu stood alone in his blue robe, wind brushing past him, while seven girls rubbed their fists and flexed, eager to attack.
"Martial Soul Manifestation!"
The sharp cries rang out together, and various apparitions instantly appeared—Ice Phoenix spreading its wings, Luan Feng harmonizing, snowflakes drifting down, Demon Shark materializing, and explosive ice rings rising slowly.
Although their numbers were large and momentum fierce, the girls remained focused, keeping a vigilant eye on the dimly glowing Luo Yu.
"Still not releasing your Martial Soul?" Shui Bing'er called.
Luo Yu hesitated. "I've made a small breakthrough in my understanding of Martial Soul usage recently. I'm afraid I might not control it well and hurt you."
Shui Yue'er, bathed in blue light, shouted, "Sparring doesn't mean being completely unharmed! We're not that delicate, just go for it!"
"That's right!" the other girls echoed, showing remarkable determination.
A man cannot dawdle. "Boom!" Luo Yu's Sun Martial Soul appeared instantly, a circle of white jade-colored spirit rings soaring into the air.
But it wasn't over yet. Within the vast golden sun's projection, something resembling a coiled dragon emerged, and deep dragon roars echoed. Though the true dragon hadn't manifested physically, its invisible majesty rippled outward.
The girls' delicate faces paled, astonished. "What is going on with his Martial Soul? What's with that dragon roar?!"
Shui Yue'er froze for a moment. "Sister, I feel like Brother Yu's Martial Soul center hides a huge phantom."
"I feel it too," Shui Bing'er nodded in shock.
Luo Yu shook his head. "It may have mutated with Martial Soul cultivation. It should be a good thing. This is what I meant by a breakthrough."
He vaguely sensed that the energy of the spirit rings was likely being absorbed by the not-yet-formed entity inside. Once it matures, he might gain a truly astonishing technique or spirit skill.
"Let's go!" Luo Yu furrowed his brows and focused. He usually abhorred arrogance and never underestimated anyone.
"Be careful, Brother Yu!"
This time, the girls rearranged their formation. Five—strong and agile attackers—simultaneously activated their Martial Souls. The first spirit ring shone, attacking Luo Yu from different directions.
Shui Bing'er released the first and second spirit rings consecutively. One added ice-blue armor to her charging teammates, while the other flew to freeze Luo Yu.
"Alright, they're coming at me seriously." Luo Yu remained calm despite being surrounded.
"Boom!" Martial Soul manifestation, golden flames wrapping his body, he stomped heavily on the ground.
The impact, like a rampaging elephant, cracked the solid ground and shook the incoming five attackers briefly.
Seizing the opportunity, Luo Yu bent his arms and threw a giant golden flame punch, striking two of them directly. Without checking the results, he observed six directions, his body moving as a phantom to dodge Shui Bing'er's control skill.
The ground he dodged onto froze under blue light. At the same time, even with the second spirit ring activated, two girls were blasted away, while the remaining three were unaffected. Their attacks kept coming.
Luo Yu, surrounded by golden flames, seemed like a Flame Monarch. Opening his mouth, a golden dragon's roar erupted. The three girls in close range were caught off guard, and their attacks faltered.
He seized the moment, blasting each girl with a punch.
At the rear, Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu, who were about to use Martial Soul fusion techniques, were astonished. They never expected the five attackers to be defeated in a single round. Their hands moved faster.
Luo Yu shook his head, stepped off the ground, and flew swiftly, robes flapping, covering over ten meters to reach Shui Bing'er.
By now, dark clouds had appeared, and Shui Bing'er's aura had risen to its peak.
Her fingers pressed her forehead as she said calmly, "Enough."
Shui Bing'er's face was full of shock. With Shui Yue'er participating this time, they were defeated even faster than before. She released her condensed spirit energy, and all apparitions disappeared instantly.
"Gather everyone together," Luo Yu said.
"Huh?" Shui Bing'er was puzzled but obeyed. The girls quickly assembled.
They looked at Luo Yu with admiration, eyes full of respect. Just as they were about to praise him, they noticed his furrowed brows.
Luo Yu clapped his hands. "So, what do you think of the battle just now?"
"You're too strong. Even one against seven, we had no room to struggle," Mo Xue said, eyes sparkling.
"Say whatever you want," Shui Bing'er added, sensing something.
Luo Yu said seriously, "Honestly, everyone's Martial Soul talent is good."
"But I'm a bit disappointed with the fight just now."
"Hey, you're not comparing us to your freakishly strong talent, are you?" Xue Wu pouted.
Luo Yu shook his head. "It's not about talent. You all cooperated fairly well, but I feel you haven't fully utilized your advantages and team coordination."
Xue Wu opened her mouth, but Shui Bing'er stopped her. "If you have something to say, don't hold back. We want to improve, so we welcome criticism."
Luo Yu nodded. "Your combat awareness is a bit weak, probably due to lack of experience."
"Have you noticed? Every attack has a gap, and that gap is your weakest defense—and your best opportunity to strike."
The elites present quickly recalled Luo Yu's first ground quake exploiting the gap, then his dragon roar followed by precise strikes—every move perfectly timed.
"So we shouldn't attack blindly, but wait for the right opportunity?" Shui Yue'er asked thoughtfully.
Luo Yu said, "Half correct. More precisely, the purpose of any attack should first be to force the opponent to expose a weakness, then deliver a decisive strike."
"But we attacked together just now!" Xue Wu said, confused.
"Yes, but without rhythm or layers, making it easy for the enemy to respond."
"In a team, everyone's skills can be pre-arranged in release sequences, practiced regularly. When facing different types of opponents, you can execute targeted plans."
Luo Yu's words hit the mark. The seven girls' eyes shone brighter, listening intently. He then gave individual advice to each of them.
"Brother Yu, how do you have so much combat knowledge?" Shui Yue'er admired.
Mo Xue was stunned. "I feel what Luo Yu says is more practical and valuable than what our teacher taught."
Luo Yu smiled faintly and shook his head—experience comes naturally from more battles.
"Alright, just a few small suggestions. I believe your potential is far greater than this," Luo Yu encouraged, yawning, wanting to return to sleep.
Shui Bing'er held Luo Yu's hand, shyly looking at him.
"What's wrong?"
Blushing, she said, "Can you teach us combat? We want to learn."
"Huh?" Luo Yu looked at the other six girls, all staring at him eagerly.
"???"
"Maybe another time. I need to catch up on sleep," Luo Yu said, trying to slip away.
Xue Wu quickly blocked his path. Her body was still, but her two "assets" trembled.
"Teach us. You won't regret it," Xue Wu said.
"Do I look like someone easily bribed?" Luo Yu laughed.
"We'll cook delicious food for you every day!"
"Nope!"
"We'll sing for you every day?"
"Nope!"
"We'll massage your back and legs every day!!"
"No way. One more thing and I'll do it!" Luo Yu relaxed his stance.
"You!!" Xue Wu glared at him.
Shui Bing'er stepped forward. "If you agree to be our sparring partner, besides the above conditions, how about we dance for you every day?"
"Deal."
Luo Yu sighed inwardly. It wasn't that he lacked resolve—the girls' relentless "sugar-coated cannon" had worn him down.
From that day on, Luo Yu reluctantly began his career as their instructor and sparring partner.
