Chapter 546: An Astonishing Burst of Power

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm current rose from his dantian and quickly flowed through his limbs and bones, as if an invisible force exploded in his body.

His soul power began to surge wildly, and he felt a slight pain in his tendons and veins, but it was also accompanied by a sense of fullness and satisfaction.

The system prompts sounded one after another, and finally stopped at "Soul power level has been increased to level 38. Congratulations to the host for becoming a Soul Master."

.

Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging soul power in his body, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Level 38 Soul Master, this is a big leap. The strength of the soul power is far beyond before, and even the reaction speed and strength of the body have been significantly improved.

He clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a slight crisp sound, as if he could hear the subtle sound of air being compressed.

However, this joy did not last long, and Lu Yu's brows soon frowned again.

Although level 38 is strong, it is far from enough.

Dai Mubai will never give up after waking up. Given his personality, he will definitely find ways to take revenge.

The shadow of the Star Luo Empire is more like a sword hanging over your head, which may fall at any time.

Lu Yu stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, and a fresh air blew in, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees.

He looked at the playground of Shrek Academy in the distance and began to plan his next move in his mind.

In addition to improving his own strength, he also needs to consider the safety of those around him.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and even Wang Sheng, their strength seemed too fragile when facing truly strong people.

Lu Yu secretly made up his mind that when the system unlocks the seventh-level authority in the future and can transfer soul masters, he will arrange an upgrade for each of them, so that they will at least have the ability to protect themselves.

Thinking of this, his heart calmed down a little, but his eyes became more profound, as if he was staring into an unknown future.

As night fell, Lu Yu woke up from his deep sleep and his consciousness gradually became clear.

He rubbed his sore eyes and noticed that the light in the dormitory had become dim. Only the moonlight coming in from the window sprinkled on the ground, outlining a cool silver glow.

Wang Sheng was sitting beside the bed. When he saw him wake up, he quickly came forward and said in a low voice, "Lu Yu, you are finally awake! Dai Mubai made a big fuss today. His family came and clamored to the dean to deal with you.

But with the dean and vice dean present, they didn't dare to act too recklessly and left. "

Wang Sheng paused, a worried look on his face, "However, Dai Mubai's injuries seem to have recovered, but the rest of the situation is unclear."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but he was not surprised.

As a member of the Xingluo royal family, Dai Mubai has a strong family background and recovers from his injuries much faster than ordinary people.

He nodded, his tone calm: "I see, thank you for telling me."

Wang Sheng scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Why thank me? You helped us vent our anger today! Dai Mubai is usually so arrogant. Someone should have dealt with him a long time ago."

Lu Yu smiled, didn't say much, got up and went downstairs.

As soon as I reached the first floor, I saw Oscar sitting in the corner, holding a sausage in his hand and chewing it absentmindedly.

When Oscar saw Lu Yu, his eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped up, ran to him, and said excitedly: "Lu Yu, you were so awesome today! Not only did you avenge me, but you also beat Dai Mubai so badly! From now on, you are my boss, I will listen to you!"

He patted his chest with an enthusiastic look, which made the people around him laugh.

Lu Yu waved his hand and refused with a smile: "Forget it, boss, let's be friends."

Oscar was stunned for a moment, then he grinned, revealing his white teeth: "Okay, friends are friends! But how are you injured today? Are you okay?"

Lu Yu casually moved his shoulders and said calmly, "I recovered in the morning. It's nothing serious."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on their faces.

Oscar patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and said, "Come to me if you have any problems in the future."

He turned and left, leaving only Lu Yu, Wang Sheng and a few others in the dormitory.

Just then, there was a slight sound of footsteps at the stairs. Lu Yu looked up and saw Zhu Zhuqing standing there. Her black tights outlined her graceful figure. Under the moonlight, her eyes were clear but carried a hint of complicated emotions.

She spoke, her voice soft but firm: "Lu Yu, can you go out for a moment?"

Lu Yu's heart moved, knowing that she was here for Dai Mubai's matter today, so he nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong looked at each other, smiled, and went upstairs to practice without saying anything more.

Lu Yu followed Zhu Zhuqing to the backyard of the dormitory. It was a quiet open space with only a few old trees around, casting mottled shadows in the moonlight.

Zhu Zhuqing stopped and turned around, with a hint of apology on her face: "Lu Yu, I'm sorry about what happened today.

If it weren't for me, Dai Mubai wouldn't have challenged you to a duel, and you wouldn't have been hurt."

Her voice was low, with a hint of self-blame, and even a barely perceptible tremor.

Lu Yu looked at her with a gentle gaze and shook his head: "Zhu Qing, this has nothing to do with you.

Even if you weren't there, Dai Mubai and I would have taken action sooner or later."

He paused, his tone lighter, "Let's not talk about this today, let's talk about you."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she showed a helpless bitter smile: "Talk about me? There is nothing to talk about."

She lowered her head and was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke, "My marriage with Dai Mubai was decided by our family.

He wasn't the one I wanted, but I had no choice.

The family has invested too much in me, and as the daughter of the family, there are some things I cannot escape.”

When she said this, there was a hint of fatigue in her tone, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time had finally found an outlet for release.

She raised her head and her eyes fell on Lu Yu, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes: "Before, I thought I could just muddle through and accept this fate.

But now, I don’t want that anymore.”

Her voice was so soft that it was almost blown away by the night wind, but it was also full of determination. "I don't know why, but... I feel disgusted by this matter."

Lu Yu listened quietly, feeling the emotions in her eyes, and his heart moved slightly.

At this moment, the system's prompt sounded in his mind: "Zhu Zhuqing's favorability increased by 10 points. The current favorability is 85 points. You can confirm the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."

Lu Yu was slightly startled, then he revealed a gentle smile.

He took a step forward and said firmly: "Zhu Qing, I understand your thoughts.

Give me three years and I will help you solve these troubles.

I don’t want to let anyone down, and I don’t want you to get hurt.”

When Zhu Zhuqing heard this, her face flushed but she did not look away.

She whispered, "Okay."

This "good"

, as if it broke down some kind of barrier between the two of them, adding a touch of warmth to the backyard at night.

Lu Yu looked at her, smiled suddenly, and suggested: "How about I teach you Jeet Kune Do? It can not only protect yourself, but also make you feel better."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

The night was deep, and the backyard of Shrek Academy was shrouded in silence. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the bluestone road, creating a faint silver glow.

A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, and the flowers and plants in the yard swayed gently, making a slight rustling sound.

Lu Yu stood in the middle of the backyard, his posture upright and a faint smile on his face.

His gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing in front of him, with a hint of teasing and tenderness in his eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing stood in front of him, her eyebrows slightly frowned, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Her long hair was as black as ink and draped over her shoulders. Under the moonlight, she looked particularly soft and beautiful.

Her figure was slender yet powerful, and her tight black outfit outlined her perfect curves. But at this moment, she seemed a little at a loss because of Lu Yu's words.

Lu Yu actually offered to teach her Jeet Kune Do? On this ambiguous night, the surroundings were quiet, with only the two of them. Zhu Zhuqing originally thought that Lu Yu would say something gentle, or talk about what happened during the day, but he said seriously that he wanted to teach her Jeet Kune Do.

"Are you...serious?"

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was somewhat uncertain, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

She tilted her head slightly, staring at Lu Yu with her dark eyes, trying to see something from his expression.

Lu Yu chuckled, put his hands behind his back, and walked around her slowly, his tone relaxed but unquestionable: "Of course I'm serious.

Zhuqing, your martial soul is the Nether Spirit Cat. Speed ​​and agility are your advantages, but if you can master a close combat technique, your strength will be further improved.

Jeet Kune Do emphasizes simplicity and practicality, which is suitable for you.

Come, learn from me."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips slightly, with a complex emotion rising in her heart.

It’s not that she didn’t trust Lu Yu’s strength. After all, she saw his performance against Dai Mubai in the Soul Arena yesterday. She was impressed by his calm demeanor and precise fighting skills.

But it was late at night, and she thought Lu Yu was looking for her for something else, but she didn't expect it to be such a serious matter.

She sighed softly, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and nodded: "Okay, let's try it."

When Lu Yu saw that she agreed, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He walked in front of her, took a simple starting stance, and said in a steady voice: "The core of Jeet Kune Do is 'to use the lawlessness as the law, and to use the limitlessness as the limit'.

It has no fixed routine, but emphasizes speed, strength and adaptability.

Look, this is a basic straight punch."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung out with his right fist. The wind from the fist was so sharp that there was even a slight sound of breaking through the air.

The punch was swift yet flexible, like a beast ready to burst out with amazing power at any time.

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils shrank slightly, and she observed his movements carefully, secretly marveling at how exquisite Lu Yu's boxing skills were.

"Try it."

Lu Yu retracted his fist and motioned for her to do so.

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, imitated Lu Yu's movements, and slowly swung out with his right fist.

Her movements were a bit awkward and her strength was not focused enough. After she threw her fist, she frowned, obviously not satisfied with her performance.

Lu Yu did not rush to correct it, but stood aside patiently, speaking in a gentle tone: "Don't be anxious, relax your body.

Your strength does not come from your arms, but from the coordination of your waist and legs.

Try to put your weight on your heels and use your waist to generate power. Your fists are just an extension of that power."

Zhu Zhuqing listened carefully, recalling Lu Yu's actions in her mind.

She adjusted her stance, spreading her feet slightly apart, lowering her body slightly, and threw another punch.

This time, her punch was obviously more powerful than before. Her fist cut through the air, causing a slight sound of wind.

"Not bad!"

A smile flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and he nodded, "Do it again, pay attention to the rhythm, and the speed can be faster."

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, a hint of seriousness in her eyes.

She punched again and again, her movements becoming smoother and her strength increasing.

Lu Yu kept giving instructions, sometimes correcting her posture, sometimes reminding her to pay attention to her breathing rhythm.

Under the moonlight, the two figures intertwined, fists flew, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's forehead, but her eyes became brighter and brighter.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed.

Zhu Zhuqing stopped, panting and looked at Lu Yu, her eyes full of surprise.

She could clearly feel that her boxing skills had made a qualitative leap.

The originally awkward movements have now become smooth and natural, and every punch thrown is accompanied by a fierce momentum.

She even vaguely felt the essence of Jeet Kune Do, as if every muscle in her body was moving in a certain rhythm and was full of power.

"How can this be?"

Zhu Zhuqing murmured in a low voice, her eyes full of disbelief.

She recalled that when she was practicing before, her progress was always slow, and she couldn't even match the speed of comprehension of Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

But this time, under Lu Yu's guidance, she actually mastered the basics of Jeet Kune Do in a short period of time, and even stepped into the elementary level.

Lu Yu looked at her surprised expression, his lips slightly raised, but he did not answer directly.

He walked forward, patted her shoulder, and said in a low voice with a hint of smile: “Don’t think too much, Zhuqing.

You have great talent, but you just haven't found the path that suits you yet.

What happened today is over. Dai Mubai won’t cause you trouble for the time being, but you have to be more careful in the future.

He is a narrow-minded person, and I am worried that he will harm you."

When Zhu Zhuqing heard this, her heart warmed and she looked up at Lu Yu.

His eyes were clear and firm, as if he could see through her heart.

She nodded gently and whispered, "I understand. Thank you, Lu Yu."

Lu Yu waved his hand, signaling her not to worry, turned around and looked at the night sky, and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, that's all for today, go back and rest.

There is still training tomorrow, don't be too tired."

At the same time, at the window on the second floor of Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were stealthily sticking their heads out and looking towards the backyard.

Ning Rongrong put one hand around Xiao Wu's shoulders, her face full of curiosity, and lowered her voice and said, "Xiao Wu, what do you think Zhu Qing and Lu Yu are doing down there in the middle of the night? Are they talking about what happened today? Why do I feel like something is wrong?"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, gently slapped Ning Rongrong's hand away, and said unhappily: "What else can you do? Zhu Qing was bullied by Dai Mubai today, so she must have gone to Lu Yu to confide in him.

Don't make blind guesses, there's nothing wrong between them."
