Chapter 417: The Pillar of the Empire
He just had a special affection for Dugu Yan and pursued her earnestly, but Dugu Yan was always cold and indifferent to him.
But today, Dugu Yan actually said such ambiguous words to Lu Yu in front of so many people. How could this not surprise people? More importantly, looking at the familiarity between the two, it was obvious that they had known each other for a long time!
This series of events connected together instantly made many students present start to imagine and talk about it.
"What's wrong with Dugu Yan? She was so cold to Yu Tianheng before, but now she is so enthusiastic towards Lu Yu?"
"That's right, what's so good about Lu Yu that makes Dugu Yan so infatuated with him?"
"Who knows, maybe Lu Yu is really extraordinary."
The female students were all furious. Looking at the intimacy between Dugu Yan and Lu Yu, they felt as if their men had been stolen.
They talked among themselves, expressing their dissatisfaction with Dugu Yan and their jealousy towards Lu Yu.
The male students were better off. Although Dugu Yan was pretty, everyone knew that this "beauty snake" was not someone to be trifled with. She was good at using poison and her methods were vicious.
This alone is enough to deter many male students from approaching easily.
Yu Tianheng, who was receiving treatment, turned paler and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he heard these discussions.
He secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder Dugu Yan was always so cold to him, it turned out that she already had someone in her heart, and the other person was so outstanding.
Although Yu Tianheng felt a little disappointed and unwilling, he also understood that love cannot be forced.
He could only silently wish Dugu Yan and Lu Yu well, hoping for a good outcome.
At this time, in the corner of the spectator seats, sat a girl wearing a black veil and a black dress.
She watched the game quietly, her brows slightly frowned, and seemed a little dissatisfied with what was happening on the court.
When she saw the intimacy between Dugu Yan and Lu Yu, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
The girl sighed slightly, then stood up and left.
Her figure appeared and disappeared in the crowd like a gust of wind.
On the other hand, Lu Yu performed very well in the quarter-finals and quarter-finals.
His opponents were two three-ring soul masters, both of whom were quite strong.
But in front of Lu Yu, he seemed so vulnerable.
Lu Yu defeated him with just one easy move.
The two four-ring soul masters met each other, one was a strong attack soul master, and the other was an agile attack soul master.
The two were equally strong and the fight was very stalemate.
Only after a fierce confrontation can the winner be determined.
The final is about to begin, and both sides have an hour of rest time.
Lu Yu didn't even use his martial soul, and his soul power was not consumed at all.
He simply jumped onto the stage, found a comfortable spot to sit down, and waited quietly for the final to begin.
At this time, a staff member walked up to Lu Yu and handed him a bottle of water and some food: "Student Lu Yu, you should eat something first.
The final will start in a while."
Lu Yu took the things with a smile: "Thank you."
While eating, he observed the surrounding environment.
He found that a large number of spectators had gathered around the ring, all discussing the upcoming final.
"I heard that Lu Yu and Yu Tianheng are both very strong. I wonder who will win?"
"I think Yu Tianheng has a better chance of winning. After all, he is the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, and his strength should not be underestimated."
"Not necessarily, Lu Yu's previous performance was also very good.
Maybe he can surprise us.”
Lu Yu listened to these discussions and sneered in his heart.
He knew his own strength and also knew Yu Tianheng's strength.
But he was not afraid of Yu Tianheng. Instead, he was looking forward to the duel with him.
Just then, a young man in gorgeous clothes came over.
He is tall, handsome, and his eyes sparkle with confidence.
"Are you Lu Yu?"
The young man looked at Lu Yu with a hint of disdain in his tone.
Lu Yu raised his head, looked at the young man in front of him, and smiled slightly: "It's me.
Who are you?
"I am Yu Tianheng's brother, Yu Tianxin."
The young man introduced himself, "My brother had been pursuing Dugu Yan, but he didn't expect you to snatch him away.
I came here today to tell you that you'd better not touch the woman my brother likes!"
Lu Yu frowned when he heard this: "What are you talking about? What happened between Dugu Yan and me has nothing to do with your brother.
Besides, I am not afraid of your brother."
Yu Tianxin sneered: "Humph, you are quite arrogant.
However, you will soon pay the price for your arrogance."
After saying that, Yu Tianxin turned and left.
His back looked so proud and confident, as if he had already secured victory.
Lu Yu looked at Yu Tianxin's departing back and became secretly alert.
Yu Tianxin will not give up and will definitely find a way to deal with me.
But he is not afraid, instead he is looking forward to the upcoming finals.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the finals to begin.
Lu Yu and Yu Tianheng walked onto the stage separately and stood opposite each other.
"Lu Yu, today I want to let you know what true strength is!"
Yu Tianheng looked at Lu Yu with fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
Lu Yu smiled slightly: "Come on, let me see how strong you are."
With the referee's order, the game officially started.
Yu Tianheng took the lead in launching the attack. His martial spirit instantly possessed his body, and his body became huge, like a real blue electric Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Seeing this, Lu Yu was not panicked.
He stood where he was, quietly observing Yu Tianheng's attack.
When Yu Tianheng's attack was about to reach him, he suddenly turned sideways and easily avoided the attack.
"Hmph, you have some skills."
Seeing that his first attack missed, Yu Tianheng snorted coldly and launched another attack.
Lu Yu and Yu Tianheng fought back and forth on the ring, and the fight was difficult to determine.
The figures moved quickly on the ring, and two lightning bolts intertwined.
The audience watched intently and cheered for the two.
"Come on, Lu Yu! Defeat Yu Tianheng!"
"Come on, Yu Tianheng! Let's see what you're capable of!"
In the fierce battle, Lu Yu and Yu Tianheng both demonstrated their strength.
Lu Yu's movements were agile and his attacks were swift, making it difficult for Yu Tianheng to defend himself.
Yu Tianheng, relying on his powerful martial spirit and strength, launched fierce attacks on Lu Yu again and again.
The two fought hard and the ring was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.
At this moment, Lu Yu suddenly found a flaw in Yu Tianheng.
He suddenly punched Yu Tianheng in the chest with a heavy punch, knocking Yu Tianheng back several steps.
"it is good!"
The audience cheered for Lu Yu.
Yu Tianheng felt a little dizzy after the punch, but he quickly recovered.
He glared at Lu Yu: "Don't even think about winning against me!"
After saying that, Yu Tianheng launched another attack.
This time, he used his ultimate move - the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Roar.
A blue beam of light spurted out from Yu Tianheng's mouth and headed straight for Lu Yu.
Seeing this, Lu Yu quickly dodged.
But the blue beam of light seemed to have a tracking function and always followed Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was shocked and realized that he could no longer hide.
He suddenly stopped, clasped his hands together, and gathered all his soul power.
When the blue beam of light was about to reach him, he suddenly pushed his hands forward, and a golden light shot out from his hands and collided with the blue beam of light.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang, and smoke and dust suddenly rose up on the stage.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Lu Yu and Yu Tianheng were seen standing there, both of them suffering from injuries to varying degrees.
The audience exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.
I didn't expect the final to be so intense and close.
"Can Lu Yu still hold on?"
"Yu Tianheng's special move is really powerful!"
Amid the discussions of the audience, Lu Yu and Yu Tianheng started a fierce battle again.
We all know that this is the final moment of the final and no one can hold back any longer.
Relying on his flexible body and swift attacks, Lu Yu attacked Yu Tianheng again and again.
Yu Tianheng relied on his powerful martial spirit and strength to resist Lu Yu's attacks time and time again.
The two fought hard and the atmosphere in the ring became more and more tense.
At this moment, Lu Yu suddenly discovered a fatal flaw of Yu Tianheng.
He suddenly punched Yu Tianheng in the abdomen with a heavy punch, causing Yu Tianheng to spit blood and fall to the ground.
"competition is over!"
The referee loudly announced.
The audience cheered for Lu Yu: "Lu Yu won! Lu Yu won!"
Lu Yu smiled and walked to Yu Tianheng, helping him up: "Are you okay?"
Yu Tianheng looked at Lu Yu, with a hint of reluctance and helplessness in his eyes: "I lost.
You are indeed very strong."
Lu Yu patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder and said, "You are also very good.
We will have another chance to discuss this later."
After saying that, the two smiled at each other, shook hands and made peace.
After the final, Lu Yu's name once again resounded throughout the Tiandou Royal Academy.
He not only won the competition, but also won the respect and admiration of everyone.
Dugu Yan also smiled with satisfaction after seeing Lu Yu win the game.
She knew how strong Lu Yu was and believed that he could win the game.
Now that she saw that Lu Yu had really done it, her heart was filled with joy and pride.
"Lu Yu, you are awesome!"
Dugu Yan walked up to Lu Yu and said with a smile.
Lu Yu looked at Dugu Yan's beautiful smile, and a warm current surged in his heart: "Thank you for always supporting me."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the whole world stopped.
On the high platform, Prince Xuexing stood there quietly, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring intently at Lu Yu below.
There was curiosity and scrutiny in his eyes.
After a moment, he turned around and asked Meng Shenji who was standing beside him, "Chief Meng, is this Lu Yu the talented young man you brought back from Notting City?"
Meng Shenji nodded gently with a gentle smile on his face, having anticipated Prince Xuexing's question.
"Yes, Your Majesty.
I was also ordered by His Majesty to go to Nottingham to find and bring back this gifted young man."
Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not knowing much about this matter.
"Oh? This matter actually alarmed my brother?"
There was a hint of surprise and curiosity in his tone.
Meng Shenji explained with a smile: "Your Highness, you may not know that this Lu Yu is only eleven years old, but he is already a three-ring soul master.
His Majesty naturally attaches great importance to such a talent and hopes that we can train him well and add a strong man to the empire."
Hearing this, Prince Xuexing's pupils suddenly shrank and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
Even Dugu Bo, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment, and his gaze involuntarily turned to Lu Yu, as if he wanted to take a new look at the young man.
"Three rings? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Prince Xuexing's voice trembled a little, and he was obviously shocked by this shocking news.
Meng Shenji nodded affirmatively: "It is absolutely true, Your Highness.
I personally tested his soul power and he has indeed reached the level of a three-ring soul master."
Prince Xuexing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He recalled the scene when he met Lu Yu three years ago. At that time, he was just a level 20 soul master who had not yet obtained his second soul ring. Although his aptitude was good, it did not attract much of his attention.
I didn't expect that in just three years, this kid had cultivated from level 20 to level 30. This cultivation speed is simply jaw-dropping!
"It's really unimaginable..."
Prince Xue Xing muttered to himself, "In three years, he cultivated from level 20 to level 30. This speed is extremely rare even in the entire soul master world."
Dugu Bo couldn't help but speak up: "This kid is indeed a genius, but... although the Three Ring Soul Master is powerful, I'm afraid it will still be difficult for him to stand out in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, right?"
Meng Shenji heard this and shook his head slightly: "Senior Dugu is right. With Lu Yu's current cultivation level, it is indeed a bit difficult for him to win the championship in the competition.
But don’t forget that the competition is held every five years, and the age of the participating students is limited to under 25 years old.”
"You mean..."
Prince Xuexing realized something and his eyes became profound.
Meng Shenji nodded and continued, "That's right. Lu Yu was able to participate in three Soul Master Competitions before he was 25 years old! He was a Three-Ring Soul Master in the first competition. What about the second time? The third time? With the cultivation speed he has shown so far, we have reason to believe that when he participated in the Soul Master Competition for the third time, that is, before he was 23 years old, he might have cultivated to the Soul King realm!"
Hearing this, Prince Xuexing and Dugu Bo couldn't help but gasp.
Soul King Realm! That is the realm of cultivation that countless soul masters dream of. Even in the entire empire, soul masters who can cultivate to the Soul King Realm are rare.
And it was actually possible for Lu Yu to reach this level before the age of 23. It was simply a miracle!
"If that's really possible..."
Prince Xuexing murmured to himself, "Then doesn't it mean that Lu Yu could become the pillar of our empire?"
Meng Shenji smiled and nodded: "Your Highness is right, Lu Yu's talent and potential are indeed amazing.
However, if you want to truly grow into a powerful soul master, in addition to talent, you also need constant hard work and tempering.
All we can do is to provide him with a good growth environment and sufficient resource support.”
