Chapter 489: Lu Yu’s character is difficult to change once he makes a decision!

"That's great! With the joining of senior sister Ye Lingling, our second team will definitely shine!" Jiang Nannan clapped her hands excitedly.

Lu Yu also showed a satisfied smile: "Then it's settled. Next, I will start selecting members for the second team and conduct targeted training. Brother Beibei, what other preparations do you think we need to make?"

Bei Bei looked at Lu Yu's eyes full of fighting spirit, and a sense of pride surged in his heart: "Okay! Lu Yu, I fully support you. We need to prepare a suitable tactical system for the second team, and strengthen teamwork ability and practical experience. I will work with other teachers to develop a detailed training plan for you."

Hearing Bei Bei's words, Lu Yu was filled with gratitude. He was so lucky to have the support and help of so many people.

Lu Yu finished a day of training and returned to the dormitory. Inside the dormitory, his roommates were sitting together, discussing something enthusiastically.

"Lu Yu, you're back!" A burly young man stood up and greeted him with a smile.

The boy's name was Wang Hu. He was Lu Yu's classmate and they had a good relationship.

"Well, what are you talking about?" Lu Yu asked casually while changing clothes.

Wang Hu chuckled and said mysteriously, "It's about the student representatives of Tiandou Royal Academy."

"Oh?" Lu Yu couldn't help but become interested after hearing this. "What exactly is going on?"

At this time, another roommate, Li Xuan, also interrupted and said, "It's like this, Lu Yu. The academy plans to send a group of student representatives to the Xingluo Empire for inter-empire exchanges. And among our students this year, some outstanding students will also be selected as representatives."

"Going to the Xing Luo Empire?" Lu Yu frowned slightly, a hint of curiosity and anticipation rising in his heart.

The Xingluo Empire, along with the Tiandou Empire, is one of the two major empires on the Douluo Continent. Although there are occasional frictions between the two countries, they generally maintain a peaceful situation. It is undoubtedly a great honor to be able to represent the Tiandou Royal Academy to exchange with the Xingluo Empire.

"That's right, and I heard that this exchange group will be received by the royal family of the Xingluo Empire!" Wang Hu added, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Lu Yu nodded, thinking secretly in his heart. He had been in this world for a while, and had a certain understanding of the situation and rules of Douluo Continent. Being able to represent the academy to the Xingluo Empire was undoubtedly a good opportunity to broaden his horizons and gain more knowledge.

"Then...how are the student representatives selected?" Lu Yu asked.

Li Xuan shrugged and said, "I'm not sure about this, but it should be related to our cultivation and performance. After all, those who can represent the academy must have a certain level of strength."

Wang Hu also nodded and agreed, "Yes, Lu Yu. Your ability is one of the best in our class. Maybe you will get the chance this time!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although his strength was good, there was still a big gap compared to those true geniuses. However, since there was an opportunity, he naturally would not give up easily.

At this moment, the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open. A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a college tutor walked in. His eyes swept over Lu Yu and others, and finally stopped on Lu Yu.

"Lu Yu, come with me." The middle-aged man said, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Lu Yu's heart moved, knowing that this instructor must have come to talk to him about the student representatives. He stood up and followed the middle-aged man out of the dormitory.

After arriving at the instructor's office, the middle-aged man motioned for Lu Yu to sit down. He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and then slowly spoke: "Lu Yu, you should have known that the academy is going to send student representatives to the Xingluo Empire for exchanges, right?"

Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, mentor."

The middle-aged man smiled and continued, "After the college's initial screening, your name has appeared on the candidate list."

"Really?" Lu Yu couldn't help showing surprise when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would actually have the opportunity to become a student representative.

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yu's reaction and nodded with satisfaction. He continued, "However, this is just a preliminary screening. Whether you can become a student representative in the end depends on your subsequent performance."

"What will happen next?" Lu Yu was slightly stunned, a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

The middle-aged man explained: "The academy will arrange an assessment. Only those who pass the assessment can officially become student representatives. This assessment will not only test your cultivation and strength, but also your adaptability and teamwork spirit."

Hearing this, Lu Yu immediately had an idea in his mind. He knew that this test would definitely not be easy. But since he had the opportunity, he would definitely go all out.

"I understand, instructor. I will work hard to prepare for the test." Lu Yu said, his tone firm and confident.

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yu, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Very good, Lu Yu. I believe you will not let the academy down. Go back and prepare first. I will inform you of the specific time and place of the test."

Lu Yu stood up, bowed respectfully, then turned and left the tutor's office.

After returning to the dormitory, Lu Yu told his roommates the good news. Upon hearing this, Wang Hu and Li Xuan congratulated Lu Yu.

"Lu Yu, you really didn't let us down!" Wang Hu patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Li Xuan also nodded and said, "Yes, Lu Yu. You must prepare well for the assessment and strive to become a student representative."

Lu Yu smiled and nodded, his heart full of fighting spirit. This assessment was of great significance to him. It not only concerned his personal honor and future, but also the reputation and interests of the college.

In the next few days, Lu Yu devoted himself to the preparation for the test. He continued to practice and improve his cultivation and strength, and at the same time strengthened his ability to respond and teamwork.

Time passed day by day, and the day of assessment finally arrived.

Lu Yu got up early in the morning and changed into the uniform of the college. He stood in front of the window of the dormitory, looking at the bright sunshine and the bustling campus outside, his heart full of expectation and nervousness.

"Lu Yu, are you ready?" Wang Hu's voice sounded outside the door.

Lu Yu took a deep breath, calmed down, and then replied: "Well, I'm ready."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out. Wang Hu and Li Xuan were already waiting for him outside the door, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Let's go, we'll go to the examination room together." Wang Hu said, and then took the lead and walked towards the examination room.

Lu Yu and Li Xuan followed closely behind. The three of them talked and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

After arriving at the examination room, Lu Yu found that many candidates had gathered here. They were all outstanding students from various classes, and everyone's face was full of confidence and fighting spirit.

Lu Yu found his exam number in the crowd, and then followed the instructions to find his exam room. The exam room was a spacious hall with dozens of arenas. On each arena were some soul guides and soul beast models for testing.

After Lu Yu found his own arena, he stood aside and waited quietly for the assessment to begin.

After a while, a middle-aged woman dressed in a tutor's uniform walked into the examination room. She stood in the middle of the arena, looked around at the candidates present, and said, "Dear candidates, welcome to the student representative assessment. I am the chief examiner of this assessment, and also your tutor for the next period of time - Liu Qing."

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "The rules of the assessment are very simple. You will form a group of two and take turns to go on stage to fight. During the battle, you can use your own martial arts and soul skills, but you are not allowed to use any external objects or hidden weapons. At the same time, I will also score your adaptability and teamwork spirit based on your performance in the battle."

"Now, I will start calling the roll. Candidates whose names are called, please go to the stage immediately and prepare for the battle." After Liu Qing finished speaking, he began to call the roll.

Lu Yu listened quietly, thinking in his heart. This test not only tests his cultivation and strength, but also tests his adaptability and teamwork spirit. Therefore, he must go all out to achieve good results.

Soon, it was Lu Yu's turn. His opponent was a thin, pale boy named Zhao Ming, who was a top student in another class.

Lu Yu walked onto the stage and stood opposite Zhao Ming. He looked at Zhao Ming and secretly assessed his strength. From his aura and eyes, he could tell that Zhao Ming was not an easy opponent to deal with.

"Let's start." Liu Qing said from the side.

Hearing this, Lu Yu immediately entered into a fighting state. He flashed and rushed towards Zhao Ming. Zhao Ming saw this and immediately came forward. The two of them fought each other in an instant.

The wind of fists whistled, and the soul power surged. Lu Yu and Zhao Ming fought back and forth on the ring, and the fight was hard to be resolved. Figures moved quickly on the ring, leaving a trail of afterimages.

While fighting, Lu Yu observed Zhao Ming's flaws. He found that although Zhao Ming's attack was fierce, his defense was a little lax. So he seized an opportunity and suddenly changed the direction of his attack, attacking Zhao Ming's defensive gap.

Zhao Ming obviously did not expect Lu Yu's move, and he could only respond hastily. But Lu Yu's attacks followed him continuously, and finally forced Zhao Ming into the corner of the ring.

"Admit defeat, Zhao Ming." Lu Yu looked at Zhao Ming and said.

Zhao Ming's face changed slightly when he heard this. But he had no way out. So he gritted his teeth and attacked Lu Yu again.

However, Lu Yu had gained the upper hand at this time. He easily neutralized Zhao Ming's attack, and then took the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive. In the end, Zhao Ming was defeated by Lu Yu's fierce attack.

"I give up." Zhao Ming said, with a hint of unwillingness and helplessness in his tone.

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded slightly. He understood that fighting was so cruel. Only by going all out and showing no mercy could one win.

In the following assessments, Lu Yu fought against several opponents one after another. With his outstanding cultivation and strength, as well as his calm mind and keen observation, he successfully defeated his opponents one after another.

Finally, when all the assessments were over, Liu Qing stood in the center of the arena and announced the results of the assessments.

"After a series of tests and evaluations, we finally selected the following students as representatives to go to the Xingluo Empire for exchanges. They are..." Liu Qing paused here deliberately, and then continued, "Lu Yu, Wang Hu, Li Xuan..."

When he heard his name, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little excited and proud. He finally succeeded in becoming one of the student representatives.

After the assessment, Lu Yu and other student representatives were taken to the college's conference room, where they met the college's dean and other senior leaders.

The dean looked at Lu Yu and the others with a satisfied smile on his face. He said, "Dear student representatives, you are the pride and hope of our college. This exchange trip to the Xingluo Empire is not only a test of your personal strength, but also a display of our college's reputation. I hope you can cherish this opportunity and go all out to complete the exchange mission."

After that, the dean picked up a document from the table and handed it to Lu Yu and others. The document listed in detail the itinerary and precautions of the exchange group.

Lu Yu took the document.

"Hmm?" Lu Yu frowned slightly. He didn't expect Qian Renxue to suddenly make such a request.

Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light: "Lu Yu, I know you are very powerful, but obtaining a spirit ring is not a trivial matter. I hope you can postpone it for a while and make a decision after discussing it with my father."

Lu Yu shook his head gently: "Qian Renxue, I know what you are worried about. But my training plan cannot be delayed, and I have my own plans."

"What are your plans?" Qian Renxue asked.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "I plan to go to Xingluo Empire."

"Xingluo Empire?" Qian Renxue was stunned. "What are you doing there?"

Lu Yu explained: "The Xingluo Empire also has a gathering place for soul beasts. Although the scale is not as large as the Xingdou Great Forest, it is large enough for me to find a suitable soul ring."

Qian Renxue heard this, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She certainly knew the gathering place of soul beasts in the Xingluo Empire, but she knew more about the danger there. However, she also understood Lu Yu's character, and it was difficult to change once he made a decision.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't say any more." Qian Renxue sighed softly, "But you have to be careful, the situation in the Xingluo Empire is far more complicated than we imagined."

Lu Yu nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Qian Renxue said goodbye and left. Lu Yu continued to practice in the room, preparing for the upcoming trip to Xingluo.

A few days later, Lu Yu packed his bags and set off for the Xingluo Empire. He did not tell anyone about his whereabouts, including Flanders and others, because once he told them, it would inevitably lead to dissuasion and worry.

After several days of traveling, Lu Yu finally arrived at the border of Xingluo Empire. Looking at the magnificent city in front of him, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart. This is where he will start his new adventure.

After entering the city, Lu Yu found an inn to stay in. He planned to rest here for one night and then go to the soul beast gathering place tomorrow.
