Chapter 500: Don’t Want to Get Involved in Unnecessary Trouble

On the other side, the girls from Tianshui College were still discussing quietly.

"I heard that Lu Yu's martial spirit is an extremely rare long-range attack type, which is very powerful."

"No wonder, he looks so cold, as if he never takes others seriously."

Shui Bing'er sighed helplessly: "After the game starts, I don't want to see you distracted by his appearance."

The girls nodded one after another, but there was still unconcealable excitement in their eyes.

Lu Yu seemed to have noticed something and looked towards Tianshui College. His eyes were cold, but with a hint of teasing, which made the girls blush and lower their heads to pretend nothing happened.

Meng Shenji patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and said in a teasing tone: "How is it, have you captured the hearts of a few girls again?"

Lu Yu's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything. He turned and walked forward, his voice calm but cold: "Let's go, the game is important."

In the crowd, several students watched the Tiandou Royal Academy team walk into the depths of the venue with complicated eyes, both in awe and hostility. The tense atmosphere of the game was heating up, and everyone was secretly planning their own strategies in their hearts, and all of this would add more highlights and suspense to the upcoming showdown.

It was getting dark, and the Blue Tyrant Academy was quiet. Liu Erlong stood in front of the window, looking at the distant sunset, but her heart was surging. She had just heard a piece of news from an old friend: Yu Xiaogang - this name that was once engraved in her heart, actually brought his disciples to participate in the upcoming All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

"Heh, Yu Xiaogang." Liu Erlong sneered, his eyes as cold as a knife, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you still have the nerve to show up in front of me."

A soft knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Dean Erlong, may I come in?" A slightly restrained male voice came from Zhang Heng, the Dean of Academic Affairs of Lanba College.

"Come in." Liu Erlong turned around, a sharp look flashing in her eyes.

Zhang Heng pushed the door open and walked in, carefully handing over a roll of the latest Soul Master Competition entry list, "This is the draw result for tomorrow's competition, as well as the list of participating teams from each academy."

Liu Erlong flipped it open and scanned the list. When she saw the words "Shrek Academy", her eyebrows slightly raised. Then, she looked at the captain's name - Tang San.

"Tang San?" Liu Erlong repeated the name in a low voice, with waves in her heart.

Zhang Heng noticed her change of mood and asked tentatively: "Dean, is there anything special about this Shrek Academy?"

Liu Erlong closed the list and placed it heavily on the table, with a complicated look in his eyes, "The instructor is Yu Xiaogang."

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I see... So what do you mean, Dean?"

"In tomorrow's match, I want the students from Blue Tyrant Academy to defeat Shrek Academy." Liu Erlong said in a firm tone, with unquestionable majesty.

Zhang Heng hesitated and said, "But the strength of Shrek Academy should not be underestimated, especially that Tang San, who is said to be a twin spirit genius. I'm afraid..."

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Liu Erlong interrupted him with a cold tone, "No matter how strong they are, they are just a few kids. Zhang Heng, pass on my words. No matter what, Blue Tyrant Academy must go all out and make sure to defeat them in tomorrow's game."

Zhang Heng nodded, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

After Zhang Heng left, Liu Erlong sat alone on the chair, the coldness between her brows gradually replaced by a deep pain. She murmured to herself: "Yu Xiaogang, after so many years, you are still a thorn in my heart. I want to see how strong the disciples you taught are."

As the night deepened, the training grounds of Blue Bully Academy were brightly lit.

"Hurry! Speed ​​up!" the instructor in charge of training shouted loudly on the sidelines.

The core members of Lanba Academy were doing their final extra training. Although they were exhausted, no one dared to slack off because everyone knew that this was an order personally issued by the dean.

"Han Song, watch your speed!" the instructor pointed at a student and shouted.

Han Song wiped his sweat and gritted his teeth and said, "Instructor, I tried my best!"

“Try your best? In tomorrow’s game, Shrek Academy won’t give you any chance to breathe!” the instructor scolded mercilessly.

Another student, Guo Ying, frowned and said, "Instructor, why are we targeting Shrek Academy so much? Are they really that strong?"

The instructor looked serious, "This is the order from the dean. Don't ask why, just do your best."

The students looked at each other. Although they were confused, no one dared to disobey Liu Erlong's order.

On the other side, Liu Erlong was drinking alone in the dean's office, his eyes empty and his thoughts returning to the past.

"Erlong, I..." In his memory, the thin man's eyes were full of pain and struggle.

"You don't have to say anything more, Xiaogang. Since you feel that we can't be together because of our blood relationship, then I respect your choice." Liu Erlong's voice was as cold as ice, but it couldn't hide the slight tremor in her tone.

"I'm sorry." Yu Xiaogang lowered his head, as if avoiding her gaze.

Liu Erlong gulped down a glass of strong liquor and forced herself to stop recalling. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Yu Xiaogang, don't you claim to be the wisest? Then, let your disciples bear my wrath!"

The next morning, the sun was shining all over the earth, and the venue of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition was already bustling with people.

Liu Erlong sat in the exclusive seat of Lanba Academy, watching the Shrek Academy team slowly enter the venue with cold eyes. Her eyes passed over those young students and finally fixed on Yu Xiaogang outside the venue.

Yu Xiaogang seemed to feel the burning gaze and subconsciously raised his head. When he saw Liu Erlong, a hint of shock and complexity flashed in his eyes.

Liu Erlong sneered and raised her chin slightly, as if silently declaring war on him.

On the field, the battle between Blue Bully Academy and Shrek Academy is about to begin.

The referee announced loudly, "Game on!"

The students of Blue Tyrant Academy rushed out like tigers, their tactics were extremely fierce, and they took the initiative right from the start. Although the players of Shrek Academy were not to be outdone, they were obviously suppressed and had a hard time.

Outside the field, Liu Erlong's eyes were like torches, and he said in a cold voice: "Suppress them to the end, don't give them any chances!"

Yu Xiaogang stood on the other side, his brows knitted, his eyes full of worry, "Tang San, Xiao Wu, you must be careful."

The game became more and more intense, the Shrek Academy players gradually regained their rhythm, and the two sides fell into a tug-of-war.

Liu Erlong coldly watched the situation on the field, thinking to himself: "Yu Xiaogang, the disciples you taught are indeed quite capable. However, I will never let you win this game!"

"stop!"

A cold shout rang out on the main road of Tiandou City. Lu Yu was walking leisurely on the street when suddenly, a luxurious carriage appeared in front of him, completely blocking his way.

The carriage was surrounded by several guards in tight clothes, with vigilance and hostility flashing in their eyes. They obviously regarded Lu Yu as a potential threat.

Lu Yu paused, looked at the carriage calmly, and said calmly: "What's the matter?"

The curtain of the carriage was gently lifted, and an old woman poked her head out. Although her face was old, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. She looked Lu Yu up and down, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Are you Lu Yu?" The old woman's voice was hoarse and low, with unquestionable majesty.

Lu Yu nodded slightly, without denying: "It's me, I wonder if you have any advice for me, senior?"

The old woman snorted lightly, with a hint of pride in her tone: "My young lady invites you, I hope Mr. Lu can do me the honor of meeting you."

Lu Yu frowned when he heard this. He didn't know any so-called lady and didn't want to get involved in unnecessary trouble.

"I'm sorry, I don't know your young lady at all, so I'm afraid I can't do as you wish." Lu Yu declined.

The old woman's face darkened, as if she had not expected Lu Yu to refuse so straightforwardly. Seeing this, a guard beside her stepped forward and shouted angrily: "How dare you! My lady invited you because she thinks highly of you, don't be ungrateful!"

Lu Yu's eyes turned cold, and an invisible pressure emanated from him. The guard felt a heavy force pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Back off!" the old woman shouted in a low voice. The guard, as if pardoned, quickly retreated to his original position, his face pale and not daring to say another word.

The old woman turned her gaze to Lu Yu again, and her tone softened a bit: "Mr. Lu, my young lady is very sincere, I hope you can give me some face."

Lu Yu chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Face? What is that? Can you eat it?"

The old woman's face changed again. She didn't expect Lu Yu to be so ungrateful. A surge of anger rose in her heart.

"Lu Yu, don't refuse my toast and then drink a forfeit!" The old woman's voice became cold, and a powerful soul power surged out of her body and pressed towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's expression remained unchanged, and his soul power circulated in his body, easily dissolving the oppressive force.

"Hmph, Six-Ring Soul Emperor, is this all you can do?" Lu Yu said disdainfully.

The old woman's face turned pale. She didn't expect that Lu Yu could resolve her soul pressure so easily. You know, she is an agile attack soul emperor with outstanding performance in speed and attack power.

"It seems that Mr. Lu is determined to go against us." The old woman's voice was full of coldness.

Lu Yu shook his head and said calmly: "Oppose? You are not worthy."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yu flashed and appeared beside the old woman like a ghost, with one hand gently resting on her shoulder.

The old woman was horrified. She didn't expect Lu Yu's speed to be so fast that even she, a Soul Emperor of the Agility Attack type, had no time to react.

"What do you want to do?" the old woman shouted in a stern voice.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and lightly tapped the old woman's shoulder with his finger. A gentle force surged into her body, instantly dissolving the restless soul power in her body.

"Go back and tell your young lady that I'm not interested in her." After Lu Yu finished speaking, his figure flashed again and he appeared several meters away.

The old woman stood there, looking at Lu Yu's receding back, with a complicated look in her eyes.

……

Lu Yu continued to stroll on the street, but he was secretly alert in his heart.

By rejecting the old woman's invitation this time, I am afraid I have offended the mysterious lady.

However, Lu Yu didn't care. He always acted as he pleased and would not change his decision because of other people's will.

Just as Lu Yu was about to leave the street, a sudden noise came from the front, attracting his attention.

Lu Yu looked curiously and saw a group of people gathered in front of a stall, pointing and talking.

When Lu Yu got closer, he saw some rare herbs and minerals on the stall. It was obviously a stall selling rare materials.

"These herbs and minerals are quite interesting." Lu Yu thought to himself, scanning the stalls.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a fist-sized piece of ore.

The ore was pitch black all over, with strange patterns all over its surface. It emitted a faint fluorescence, giving people a mysterious feeling.

"What is this?" Lu Yu's heart moved. He had never seen such a strange mineral.

"Hey, young man, you have a good eye!" The stall owner came up to him with a smile, "I spent a lot of effort to get this ore from a secret place. It is said that it contains some mysterious power."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and asked, "How much is this ore?"

The stall owner held up five fingers and said with a chuckle, "Five thousand gold coins."

Lu Yu frowned slightly, this price is not cheap.

However, he was quite interested in this ore. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll buy it."

Seeing this, the stall owner's face beamed with joy. He quickly packed up the ore and handed it to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took the ore and was about to leave when suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded behind him.

"Sir, can you give me that piece of ore?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu turned around and saw a woman in a gorgeous long dress standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

The woman had a beautiful face and noble temperament, just like the Queen Mother of the West who had descended to earth, making her unforgettable at first sight.

Lu Yu was slightly surprised. He did not expect that the woman was so beautiful. Even though he had seen many beauties, he had to admit that this woman's appearance was one of the best he had ever seen.

However, Lu Yu quickly regained his composure and said calmly: "Miss, I have already bought this ore."

The woman didn't seem to expect Lu Yu to reject her. A hint of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Sir, I am willing to pay double the price for this piece of ore. Would you mind giving it up?" the woman said with a smile.

Lu Yu shook his head and said firmly: "Sorry, this ore is useful to me, I can't sell it."

When the woman heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she did not force it. Instead, she smiled and said, "If that's the case, then that's fine. However, could you please tell me your name? If there's a chance one day, I'll definitely repay you handsomely."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "I am Lu Yu."

"Lu Yu..." The woman whispered the name softly, as if she wanted to engrave it in her heart.

"My name is Xue Qinghe. I hope Mr. Lu can remember this name." After the woman said this, she bowed slightly to Lu Yu, then turned and left.

Lu Yu looked at the woman's back as she left, thinking to himself: "Xue Qinghe? This name seems familiar..."

However, he quickly put the name behind him and turned away from the stall.
