Chapter 495 Someone is really shortsighted

Lu Yu withdrew his hand and patted his sleeves, as if he had just done something insignificant.

"My soul power is not enough. I need to continue practicing." He whispered to himself, then turned and left, leaving behind a group of seriously injured enemies.

The night wind blew, Yinshu struggled to raise his head, looking at Lu Yu's back, his heart full of confusion and fear.

"Is he... really just a Soul Master?" Yinshu murmured.

No one answered his question.

In the early morning forest, the mist had not yet dissipated, and the sound of birdsong echoed intermittently in the valley. A thin but imposing boy was standing beside the mountain stream, looking forward with a cold gaze. Lu Yu, originally just an unknown boy, but by chance, he obtained a set of long-lost secret techniques - the Four-Gate Heavenly Gang Talisman. Today, he will use this to prove his strength.

Across from him, a Soul King and two Soul Masters were looking at him with disdain.

"Hahaha, you dare to block our way?" The leading soul king sneered, his martial spirit had already possessed him, it was a ferocious black-scaled tiger. Soul rings were arranged under his feet, yellow, purple and black, showing the soul king's powerful strength.

“Young man, get out of here if you know what’s best for you. Otherwise, we brothers won’t show mercy!” one of the Soul Sect members interrupted in a sarcastic voice.

Lu Yu did not answer. He raised his right hand quietly. A faint blue light flowed through his fingertips, and a murderous atmosphere vaguely permeated the air.

"Oh? You're not talking, pretending to be deep?" The Soul King narrowed his eyes, his expression even more disdainful, "Boy, don't blame us for bullying you!"

As soon as the Soul King finished speaking, the black-scaled tiger roared and rushed towards Lu Yu. The two Soul Masters were not to be outdone and released their martial spirits, one was the Fiery Fire Python and the other was the King Kong Violent Ape. The three of them attacked at the same time, pressing towards Lu Yu with the momentum of a landslide and tsunami.

Lu Yu smiled coldly, and suddenly exerted force with his right hand. Four blue runes instantly appeared around him, like four rotating ancient bells, protecting him firmly.

"Open - Tiangang Talisman, the first gate!" Lu Yu shouted in a low voice, and the first rune lit up. His speed suddenly increased, and his body turned into a blue light, and he dodged the attack of the black-scaled tiger in an instant.

There was a flash of surprise in the Soul King's eyes, "What kind of body movement is this?"

Before he could react, Lu Yu's voice rang out again, "Second Gate, Breaking Evil Talisman, open!"

The second rune burst out with a dazzling blue light, and Lu Yu's power surged. He punched out and hit the black scale tiger's head directly. The powerful force pushed the soul king back several meters, the image of the black scale tiger trembled, and the soul king spit out a mouthful of blood.

"The third door, the Earth-Splitting Talisman, open!" Lu Yu did not give them a chance to breathe. He stomped his foot, and countless deep cracks appeared on the ground. The violent vibration made the two Soul Masters unstable.

"This... is impossible!" The Soul Sect member wanted to fight back, but was kicked in the chest by Lu Yu's sweeping kick, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string.

"The fourth gate, the Sky Rune, open!" Lu Yu's voice was like thunder, and the last rune emerged. His aura reached its peak, and the whole person was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, revealing its edge.

A powerful blue beam of light shot up from Lu Yu's body and rushed straight to the remaining Soul Sect. The Soul Sect was terrified and just wanted to turn around and run away, but was instantly covered by the beam of light, and the whole person flew out and hit the ground.

The battle was over in less than half an incense stick of time.

Lu Yu slowly withdrew his strength, and the four runes gradually disappeared. His face was slightly pale, but his eyes were still firm. The noise of this battle had already alarmed the powerful people nearby.

Sure enough, several figures approached rapidly in the woods not far away.

"That power just now... turned out to be this guy?" The girl in the lead had a pretty face and a bit of shock in her tone. She was Yinshu, a top student at Lanba Academy.

“Senior Sister Yinshu, this kid can actually defeat the Soul King and two Soul Masters with just one move. This strength…” Another young man frowned, obviously feeling incredible about the scene before him.

Lu Yu raised his head and looked at the person who came, without any panic on his face.

"Who are you?" Yinshu stared at Lu Yu with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Lu Yu." He replied indifferently, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Yinshu quickly caught up and stood in front of him, "What ability did you use just now? What's with the four runes?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Lu Yu said in a cold voice, obviously not wanting to explain more.

Yinshu frowned slightly, "We at Blue Tyrant Academy have never heard of such a secret technique. If you are willing to join Blue Tyrant Academy, we can provide you with better training resources."

"Lanba Academy?" Lu Yu glanced at her, his lips slightly raised, "Sorry, I'm not interested in joining the academy."

Yinshu was a little surprised, but not angry. Instead, he said seriously: "Whether you are willing to join the academy or not, your performance today has attracted the attention of many people. You need to be careful."

Lu Yu smiled noncommittally, "Thanks for the reminder, but I'm never afraid of trouble."

Yinshu looked at him deeply, as if he wanted to say something else, but in the end he just sighed slightly.

"Let's go back to the academy first." She turned around and said to her companions behind her.

Several people left quickly, leaving Lu Yu standing there alone. He looked up at the sky, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.

"Blue Bully Academy? Perhaps I should go check it out." He muttered to himself, then walked in the opposite direction.

In the early morning, in front of the gate of Lanba Academy, Lu Yu stood in the sun, his hands in his sleeves, squinting slightly to look at everything in front of him. As a strong outsider, he was not familiar with the atmosphere here, but his aura naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.

Yinshu and several students stood aside and whispered, casting inquiring glances from time to time.

"Lu Yu, the dean has agreed to see you. But..." Yin Shu's eyes were a little complicated, "Before you see her, we need to confirm your strength. I hope you can understand."

Hearing this, Lu Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, and his tone was calm: "Confirm your strength? Of course. However, I hope you will not be disappointed."

Yinshu sighed helplessly after hearing this. Lu Yu's attitude was indeed a little too confident, but this was also the privilege of the strong. He turned sideways and said to the students beside him: "Zhu Yan, come on, test Lu Yu's strength first."

A young man named Zhu Yan came out. He looked only about 17 or 18 years old, but his eyes were sharp. He clasped his fists and said, "Senior Lu Yu, please teach me."

Lu Yu glanced at Zhu Yan calmly and nodded: "Go ahead."

Zhu Yan took a deep breath, clasped his hands together, and his martial spirit instantly possessed his body. A giant red flaming claw appeared on his hand, and at the same time, four spirit rings slowly rose up, presenting a combination of yellow and purple.

The students watching gasped. "Zhu Yan actually used his martial spirit to possess his body. It looks like he really wants to fight seriously."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly: "Not bad, four spirit rings, and two purple thousand-year spirit rings. It seems that you are also a leader in this academy. However, you are still too weak."

Zhu Yan's face froze, but his strong fighting spirit kept him silent. He shouted, stepped on the ground, and rushed towards Lu Yu like a flame, with his huge claws of fire grabbing Lu Yu with a burning breath.

Lu Yu stood there motionless until Zhu Yan's attack was close at hand. Then he raised his hand slightly, and an invisible force suddenly burst out, sending Zhu Yan flying.

Zhu Yan rolled several times in the air and landed steadily, his face pale. He looked at Lu Yu in astonishment: "What kind of power is this?"

Lu Yu calmly withdrew his hand, his eyes calm: "Mental power control. Your strength is good, but you rely too much on martial soul and soul skills."

Yinshu frowned and whispered, "Sure enough, Lu Yu's strength is extraordinary. It seems that we still underestimated him."

Another student nearby, a young woman named Ye Ran, said, "Senior Lu Yu, can I try?"

Lu Yu nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Ye Ran's martial spirit possessed her body, and an ice-blue light enveloped her whole body, and four spirit rings also slowly rose. Her martial spirit was an icy long sword, and the sword energy was compelling.

"First Soul Skill - Ice Sword Qi!"

A beam of cold light shot out, aiming directly at Lu Yu's chest. The cold sword energy caused the surrounding air to drop several degrees in an instant.

Lu Yu still stood there, until the sword energy was about to approach, he gently raised his hand and pinched the sword energy with two fingers. With a "crack", the icy sword energy was directly crushed.

Ye Ran's pupils shrank slightly, and he unwillingly activated his second soul skill again. The ice field spread instantly, trying to suppress Lu Yu with a range attack.

Lu Yu smiled slightly, stepped on the ground, and powerful soul power spread out like ripples, instantly dispersing the ice field.

Ye Ran trembled, took a few steps back, and his face turned pale.

Seeing this, Yinshu finally spoke: "Enough. Ye Ran, Zhu Yan, you can leave."

Lu Yu clapped his hands and looked at Yin Shu with a half-smile: "How is it? Can you take me to see your dean now?"

Yinshu took a deep breath and nodded, "It seems that we have indeed underestimated you. Come with me, Dean Liu is in the back mountain."

Lu Yu smiled indifferently, followed Yinshu and walked towards the back mountain.

The scenery of the back mountain is very beautiful, and the sound of birds occasionally comes from the green woods. After walking for a while, a small bamboo building appeared in front of us.

Yinshu stopped, turned around and said, "The dean has a strange temper, but she values ​​the strong very much. If you can gain her approval, you can move freely in the academy."

Lu Yu nodded: "It doesn't matter. I'm not interested in the rules of the academy, I just hope she won't let me down."

Yinshu knocked on the door of the bamboo building: "Dean, Lu Yu is here."

A cheerful but somewhat lazy voice came from inside the room: "Come in."

Lu Yu pushed open the door and saw a tall woman with long black hair draped over her shoulders. Her eyes showed an indescribable sharpness and elegance. She was sitting on a bamboo chair, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand.

"Are you Lu Yu?" Liu Erlong raised her head and glanced at Lu Yu sharply.

Lu Yu smiled slightly: "Yes. I heard that the dean of Lan Ba ​​Academy is a very powerful person, so I came here to see him."

Liu Erlong put down the teacup, stood up and walked to Lu Yu, looking down at him: "Your aura is indeed very strong. But aura alone is not enough, whether you can pass my test is the key."

Lu Yu said calmly, "Then let's give it a try."

Liu Erlong said nothing more. With a wave of her hand, a terrifying spirit power swept out, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became oppressive. Almost at the same time, her martial spirit possessed her body, and nine spirit rings slowly rose.

Seeing the last soul ring flashing with golden light, Lu Yu's eyes focused slightly: "Hundred thousand year soul ring? It seems that I have come to the right place today."

Liu Erlong sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, take it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed towards Lu Yu like a cheetah, and the flames in her hands came straight at him. Lu Yu moved his feet slightly and easily avoided the attack.

The fight between the two extended from indoors to outdoors. In the open space outside the bamboo building, Liu Erlong's attack unfolded like a storm, while Lu Yu always seemed to be at ease, and each time he was able to resolve the attack with the smallest movement.

Yin Shu and others who were watching were stunned. Zhu Yan couldn't help but sigh: "Who is this Lu Yu? Even the dean can't do anything to him?"

Ye Ran whispered: "I'm afraid his strength is no less than that of a Titled Douluo."

After a moment, Liu Erlong stopped and stared at Lu Yu with a complicated expression: "You win. I admit that your strength is enough for our Blue Tyrant Academy to look at you differently."

Lu Yu smiled calmly: "Thank you for the compliment. However, I hope to find more opponents here, not just to prove myself."

Liu Erlong nodded, turned around and said to Yinshu, "From today on, Lu Yu can enter and leave Lan Ba ​​Academy at will, and no students are allowed to stop him."

Yinshu accepted the order and said respectfully, "Yes, Dean."

Lu Yu bowed slightly: "Thank you very much."

Liu Erlong looked at Lu Yu's back and murmured in a low voice: "Interesting person, I hope you can bring something different."

The morning in the backyard of Lanba College is always peaceful, with leaves rustling and the air filled with the smell of grass. The sun shines through the thin clouds onto the bluestone slabs in the yard, appearing warm and gentle.

Lu Yu walked in the courtyard, his posture relaxed and natural, his white clothes looked particularly fresh in the sun. He glanced at the surrounding environment, and a faint smile appeared on his face. This Lanba Academy does have some of the charm of a hidden master. If he can work here, it can be regarded as an unexpected surprise of his trip.

Just as he was thinking, a clear voice came from not far away: "Sir, you look unfamiliar. Are you here for business, or are you just passing by?"

Lu Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman walking towards him. She was wearing a fiery red dress with a gold belt around her waist. Her graceful figure revealed a sense of competence and freedom. Her long black hair was tied up casually, and there was a bit of heroism between her eyebrows. Especially her clear phoenix eyes, which seemed to be able to see directly into people's hearts.

A trace of surprise flashed across Lu Yu's eyes, but he quickly hid it, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I am Lu Yu, and this is my first time at Lan Ba ​​Academy. I've come to visit you. May I know who this girl is?"

The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled, her tone adding a bit of teasing: "Girl? Ha, it seems that some people have been very short-sighted in recent years. Let me tell you, I am the vice president of Lanba Academy, Liu Erlong."
