Chapter 422: Already Breaking Through 4 Rings

"No need." Lu Yu's voice was still flat, but his eyes were like a sharp blade, making Wang Feng feel a chill.

“Arrogant!” Wang Feng shouted angrily, and his third soul ring suddenly lit up. “Since you are so confident, then try to take my move! Third soul skill, Fire Storm!”

Suddenly, the arena was ablaze with flames, and countless blazing flames swept over like a storm, engulfing Lu Yu completely. There was an uproar in the audience, and many people stood up.

"Is Lu Yu finished now?"

"Not to mention people, even stones will be burned to ashes!"

However, just when everyone thought that Lu Yu was doomed to fail, a figure rushed out from the flames. His movements were so clean and neat that not even his clothes had a single burn mark.

"What?!" Wang Feng widened his eyes, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Lu Yu stood there, looking at him calmly, "The attack is too scattered, and the power is unevenly distributed. The power of such a soul skill is at most scary."

"Stop pretending here!" Wang Feng rushed forward angrily, pointing the flaming sword in his hand directly at Lu Yu's chest.

This time, Lu Yu finally moved. He stepped lightly, and instantly appeared beside Wang Feng. His speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to see his movements. The next moment, there was a muffled "bang", and Wang Feng's body flew more than ten meters away like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.

The entire fighting arena suddenly fell silent.

"You...you..." Wang Feng covered his chest and barely held up his body, his face full of disbelief, "Who are you?"

Lu Yu slowly retracted his fist, and said calmly, "I am a student of Tiandou Royal Academy, that's all."

In this battle, Lu Yu once again defeated Wang Feng, a talented student ranked in the top ten, with absolute crushing without using his martial spirit. After a brief silence in the audience, thunderous cheers broke out.

"Too strong! Lu Yu actually won again!"

"Is this guy really useless even with his martial spirit? What kind of monster is he?"

At this time, Lu Yu still looked calm. He walked down the ring and went straight back to the rest area, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial matter.

This was just the beginning, the real strong ones were still waiting for him to face, and he never planned to stop.

The annual college competition of Tiandou Royal College is in full swing at this moment.

The arena was already surrounded by spectators, and the dignitaries of the Tiandou Empire gathered on the high platform, enjoying the excellent view from the VIP seats. On the high platform sat several heavyweights of the Tiandou Empire, including Prince Xuexing of the royal family, the dean of the Tiandou Royal Academy, and a particularly eye-catching old man in green, Dugu Bo. As the only Titled Douluo in the Tiandou Empire, Dugu Bo's appearance undoubtedly added a huge amount of attention to this college competition.

On the high platform, Prince Xuexing held a glass of fine wine in his hand, looking leisurely at the arena with a faint smile on his face.

"It seems that this year's college competition is nothing more than this." Prince Xuexing said nonchalantly, with a bit of laziness and disdain in his tone, "It's just a competition between some young students. Although it's lively, it's not worth mentioning after all."

The dean of Tiandou Royal Academy smiled respectfully and said, "Your Highness is right. However, there are several students who performed quite well this year, especially the boy named Lu Yu. He showed great talent and skills in the previous competition. If Your Highness is interested, you might as well pay more attention to him."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing raised his eyelids and glanced lazily at the stage.

"Lu Yu?" He repeated indifferently, his tone still nonchalant, "It's quite interesting to be favored by an old fellow like you. Senior Dugu, what do you think?"

Dugu Bo, who was sitting next to him, did not answer immediately. He held a teacup in one hand and gently stroked his beard with the other hand. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, fixed firmly on the young man on the ring.

"Hmm..." Dugu Bo muttered in a low voice, and then slowly said, "This kid is quite interesting."

Prince Xuexing raised his eyebrows upon hearing this: "Oh? Even Senior Dugu said so. It seems that it is indeed not simple. Tell me, what did you find?"

Dugu Bo put down the teacup, his eyes flashing with a hint of amusement.

"This kid's soul power fluctuations are not weak, it should be around level 30. Moreover, his combat awareness is very good. The move just now was clearly a ruthless move to force the opponent to retreat, but it also left room for maneuver. This kind of control is not something that ordinary soul masters can have."

"Oh?" Prince Xuexing sat up straight with interest. "You mean, he is not only strong, but also knows how to judge the situation?"

"Not bad." Dugu Bo nodded slightly, his eyes more serious, "Also, his martial soul is somewhat special. It looks like a beast martial soul, but it is not like a completely ordinary beast martial soul. It seems to contain some kind of power."

When the dean heard this comment, he couldn't help but show a little surprise. As the dean of Tiandou Royal Academy, he naturally knew how sharp Dugu Bo's vision was. Students who could arouse Dugu Bo's interest were rare.

"Senior Dugu is indeed very discerning," the dean quickly agreed, "Lu Yu's martial soul is called 'Cangying Hunting Falcon', a very rare variant martial soul. According to our observation, this martial soul not only has extremely strong speed and attack, but also has some unknown amplification ability, but we are not completely sure what it is."

"Cangying Hunting Falcon?" Prince Xuexing nodded slowly, a faint smile on his face. "It's a very impressive name. It seems that this kid really has some skills."

“How capable he is depends on his next performance.” Dugu Bo snorted coldly, his eyes still never leaving the ring.

At this moment, the battle on the ring once again entered a white-hot stage.

Lu Yu was facing a main player from another elite team. The opponent's martial soul was a spear, and with his powerful soul power, his attack was extremely fierce. During the fight between the two, the air waves caused by the collision of soul power continued to impact the surroundings, and even the people in the audience could feel the astonishing pressure.

"Hehe, that's quite interesting." Dugu Bo suddenly chuckled.

"What's the matter, Senior Dugu discovered something?" Prince Xuexing asked curiously.

"Look at his footwork," Dugu Bo said in a low voice with some appreciation, "This kid's footwork is very special. He is always at ease even in a high-intensity battle. Every step he takes is just right to avoid the opponent's attack range, while maintaining the rhythm of the attack. This kind of keen control over the battle is definitely not something that ordinary students can possess."

Prince Xuexing nodded slightly after hearing this and his eyes fell on Lu Yu again.

"So, this kid is indeed worthy of training." He said with a half-smile, "However, talent alone is not enough. How far he can go in the end depends on whether he can withstand the real test."

"A test?" Dugu Bo snorted. "With his talent, if he is given a little guidance, he may become a strong man. It's a pity that people with great talent often have high ambitions. Whether he can calm down and hone himself depends on him."

"What Senior Dugu meant was..." Prince Xuexing seemed to have heard something behind the words.

Dugu Bo smiled faintly: "I am a little interested to see how he performs next. If he can satisfy me, I might consider...giving him some guidance."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the platform showed shocked expressions.

As one of the few Titled Douluo in the Tiandou Empire, Dugu Bo has always had a strange personality and is rarely willing to accept disciples, let alone take the initiative to express his willingness to guide someone. His words at this moment undoubtedly made everyone look at Lu Yu with a new eye.

And just as they were talking, the situation on the ring finally changed.

Lu Yu's footwork suddenly changed, and his body was like a shadow, instantly closing the distance with his opponent. The martial spirit in his hand glowed with a light blue light, and a cry like a falcon flapping its wings resounded throughout the venue. The next moment, his attack fell like a storm, and the opponent was completely suppressed, without even a chance to counterattack.

"Beautiful!" The dean couldn't help but applaud.

Prince Xuexing narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with some appreciation: "It seems that he does have some skills. No wonder even Senior Dugu is interested in him."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Dugu Bo did not speak, but raised a faint smile. He looked at Lu Yu as if he was looking at an unpolished jade, shining with the light that only belongs to the strong.

With Lu Yu's long roar, the fight on the ring finally ended. He defeated his opponent with a clean and swift attack, and thunderous applause and cheers instantly rang out in the arena.

"Interesting." Dugu Bo whispered to himself, his eyes deep, "Perhaps, this time I came to Tiandou Royal Academy, it's really the right choice."

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the martial arts training ground of Tiandou Royal Academy, and the golden and red light rendered the ground like a dream. Today, many students gathered here. They formed small circles in twos and threes, chatting and laughing with heated discussions.

"Hey, who do you think will be the champion of this year's competition?" A tall young man wearing the school's uniform spoke first, his tone full of anticipation.

"Who else could it be? It's probably those old faces, Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and the two old students with four rings." A student with a round face next to him took over the conversation, his tone quite casual.

"Yu Tianheng? Are you talking about the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?" A thin girl's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something.

"Nonsense, who else could it be if not him? He is the direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan. His background alone is enough for us to look up to him, not to mention his strength." The tall young man curled his lips, seeming helpless about this kind of question.

"Hehe, I bet he can at least make it into the top three in this competition." The round-faced student grinned with a bit of flattery.

“Top three? Are you looking down on him? With Yu Tianheng’s strength in our academy, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to win the championship, let alone the top three!” the tall young man said with certainty.

"Don't be so confident." A slightly cold voice came, attracting everyone's attention. The speaker was a young man in black clothes, with a handsome face and a shrewd light in his eyes.

"Oh? You have a different opinion?" The tall boy raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on the boy in black.

"Although Yu Tianheng is strong, don't forget that there is Dugu Yan." The young man in black smiled faintly, but his tone was firm.

"Dugu Yan? The poison-type soul master?" The round-faced student hesitated, as if he was not familiar with the name.

"Haha, it seems you don't know much about her." The black-clothed teenager raised his lips slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes, "Dugu Yan is one of the top students in Tiandou Royal Academy. Not only is she powerful, but she is also the most beautiful among all the girls. Don't you know that she is known as one of the 'twin flowers' of the academy?"

"Shuanghua? Who is the other one?" the thin girl couldn't help but ask.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's Ning Rongrong. But she has already returned to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and will not participate in this kind of internal competition of the academy for the time being." The young man in black explained slowly.

"Dugu Yan is indeed powerful. I heard that almost no one can counteract her poison. Especially her martial spirit, the Green Scaled Snake, is ridiculously strong." The tall young man nodded, obviously also understanding Dugu Yan's strength.

"Hehe, then who do you think is stronger, Yu Tianheng or Dugu Yan?" The round-faced student suddenly became interested and deliberately brought up the topic.

"It's hard to say. One of them is good at power-based attacks, and the other is good at control and poison weakening. They are two completely different styles. But as far as I know, they have a good relationship in private, and maybe they will join forces." The young man in black said with a hint of mystery in his tone.

"If they join forces, what's the point of competing? They will definitely be the champions!" The thin girl couldn't help but exclaim.

"Are you forgetting something while talking about this?" A deep voice suddenly interrupted the conversation. Everyone turned around and saw a burly boy slowly walking towards them with a playful smile on his face.

"Oh? Who do you think we missed?" The tall boy raised his eyebrows.

"Lu Yu." The burly boy uttered two words softly. The voice was not loud, but it was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples.

"Lu Yu? The second-year student who transferred here?" The round-faced student was stunned for a moment, then frowned. "It seems like he has only been here for less than half a year. No matter how strong he is, he can't be compared with Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan and the others, right?"

"You are really narrow-minded." The sturdy boy shook his head, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Although Lu Yu is low-key, his strength is not simple. It is said that he has broken through the fourth ring."

"What?!" The thin girl's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, "You've already broken through the fourth ring in your second year? How is that possible!"

"What's impossible? He comes from the Lu family in Tianshui City. His family background is strong, so he naturally has no shortage of cultivation resources. Moreover, I heard that his martial spirit is very special, a very rare gold-type martial spirit." The sturdy boy said slowly.

“Gold-type martial spirit? Could it be the legendary golden-winged eagle?” A hint of surprise flashed in the black-clothed young man’s eyes.
