Chapter 591 Fight a good battle!

Lu Yu nodded, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes: "Royal Academy... sounds interesting, I hope I won't be disappointed."

The sky of Tiandou City was as blue as a mirror, and the outline of the Royal Academy gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was a magnificent building complex, with glazed tiles shining brightly in the sun, and it was majestic.

At the entrance of the college, an old man with a hunched body and white hair had been waiting for a long time.

His eyes were deep and scrutinizing as he swept over the Shrek people and finally stopped at Flanders.

"Dean Flanders, I have long heard of your great name."

The old man's voice was hoarse but still dignified. "I am the lonely master of Tiandou Royal Academy. I have come here today to greet everyone from Shrek."

Flanders bowed and smiled, his tone neither humble nor arrogant: "Senior Lonely, you are too polite.

Tiandou Royal Academy is well-known and has a strong faculty. We at Shrek are just an academy from a small place, so it is an honor to be able to come here for exchanges."

A gleam of light flashed in Gu Du Fu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Dean Flanders is too modest.

The talented students of Shrek Academy are famous throughout the continent. I have heard of them for a long time.

Since you're here, why don't we have a competition between the two houses to see who's better?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there seemed to be a hint of invisible gunpowder in the air.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, "This old man is really not simple. He wants to test our strength right from the start."

Flanders laughed heartily, his tone still smooth: "Senior Lonely's kindness, we appreciate it.

It's naturally a good thing for the two houses to compete, but the outcome will be revealed on the field."

Gu Du Fu nodded, and his eyes swept over Lu Yu and the others, with a barely perceptible interest flashing in his eyes: "Okay, I'll arrange for everyone to stay today, and then have a banquet to welcome you in the evening.

We will discuss the discussion tomorrow."

Lu Yu stood aside, observing Gu Du Fu quietly, but a hint of vigilance rose in his heart.

The old man's aura is unfathomable, and he is obviously not an ordinary soul master.

He whispered to Xiao Wu, "This Gu Du Fu seems to be a tough guy."

Xiao Wu curled her lips and lowered her voice, "No matter how strong he is, we Shrek are not afraid of him! Lu Yu, you have to show some real skills and don't embarrass our academy."

Lu Yu chuckled, a hint of confidence flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, I never let people down."

The group followed Master Gu Du into the academy. The scenery along the way was magnificent, and the students looked at them with curiosity and scrutiny.

Lu Yu walked in the team, but he was thinking about his next plan in his mind.

The absorption of the soul bone made him stronger, but the 15% speed bonus still made him feel a little unwilling.

He needs stronger soul bones and stronger soul skills to gain a foothold on this continent.

As night falls, the Royal Academy's banquet hall is brightly lit.

Gu Du Fu raised his glass to greet him, his smile carrying some deep meaning: "Everyone from Shrek, have a good rest today.

Tomorrow, we must have a good discussion."

Lu Yu held the wine glass in his hand, his eyes briefly meeting Gu Du Fu's, and he thought to himself, "Communication? I'm afraid he wants to test our depth.

Well, let me see how capable the Tiandou Royal Academy is!"

The sky gradually darkened, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the bluestone floor of the Royal Academy, reflecting a golden red.

As soon as the people from Shrek Academy stepped into the academy gate, they were greeted by a subtle sense of oppression.

Lu Yu walked at the front of the team, looking around with a frown on his face.

His sight finally stopped at the figure in front of him, wearing a dark green robe—Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, the leader of the Royal Academy's exchange team.

"Lu Yu, who is this old man? He has such a strong aura."

Xiao Wu came close to Lu Yu and asked in a low voice, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

Her rabbit ears twitched slightly, as if she had sensed something.

Lu Yu's gaze remained fixed as he replied in a low voice, "Dugu Bo, Titled Douluo, known as Poison Douluo.

His poison skills are unmatched, and his actions are extremely vicious and cruel.

You and everyone else should stay away from him and don't get close to him easily."

Xiao Wu nodded, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "What about you? Aren't you afraid of him?"

Lu Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Afraid? Not really.

But this old guy has bad intentions, so I have to be careful."

He turned to look at Flanders behind him, and said in a slightly lower voice: "Dean, for this exchange, the Royal Academy sent a tough guy.

You deal with him, and I'll take care of everyone else."

Flanders pushed his glasses, a gleam in his eyes: "Don't worry, I can still handle that old poisonous creature Dugu Bo.

Take them to rest first, and make sure they don't let down in the competition tomorrow."

Lu Yu nodded and took Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing and others to the residence arranged by the academy.

His steps were steady, but he always remained alert in his heart.

Dugu Bo's appearance was by no means accidental. This trip to the Royal Academy was probably not just for simple communication.

The courtyard is not big, with seven blue-tiled houses arranged neatly. An old locust tree in the courtyard sways in the wind, bringing some coolness.

Lu Yu pushed open the courtyard door, glanced at the simple room, and waved his hand nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter where you live. Everyone, have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow is the tough battle."

Tang San walked forward and patted Lu Yu on the shoulder: "You don't seem to be worried at all about whether there will be any problems with this place?"

Lu Yu chuckled, a sly look flashing in his eyes. "The problem? If the Royal Academy really dares to make a move in this courtyard, I'll be the first to tear down their lair."

He paused, his tone turning serious: "However, you all should be careful tonight, especially Xiao Wu, stay away from those you don't know."

Xiao Wu blushed slightly when she heard this. She lowered her head and said softly, "I see, Lu Yu, you are always so worried."

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "Oh, Lu Yu, you really care about Xiao Wu. Even I feel a little jealous."

Lu Yu glanced at her, too lazy to pay attention to her, walked straight into his room, sat down cross-legged, and began to adjust his soul power.

His soul power flowed slowly in his body like a stream, and every breath seemed to be gathering strength for tomorrow's competition.

In his mind, Dugu Bo's sinister face appeared from time to time, and Lu Yu's eyes became deeper and deeper: "Old poisonous creature, you'd better not play any tricks on me."

As the night deepened, the courtyard became so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard.

Lu Yu was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing when there was a gentle knock on the door.

He opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Who?"

"It's me, Xiao Wu."

Xiao Wu's slightly nervous voice came from outside the door.

Lu Yu stood up, opened the door, and saw Xiao Wu standing at the door. The moonlight shone on her, making her big eyes sparkle, but with a hint of uneasiness.

He frowned and asked, "What do you want from me so late?"

Xiao Wu bit her lip and whispered, "Lu Yu, I...I have something I want to tell you. Can you come in and tell me?"

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then moved sideways to let her in: "Come in, it's cold outside."

Xiao Wu walked into the room, closed the door, but stood there with her head down and her hands twisted together, as if she was hesitating about something.

Seeing this, Lu Yu softened his tone: "What's wrong? You're hesitant, which is not like you."

Xiao Wu took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and suddenly raised her head with a bit of trepidation in her eyes: "Lu Yu, I... I am not human.

I am the ten thousand year old soul beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, a transformed form of a hundred thousand year old soft bone rabbit."

Her words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

Lu Yu was slightly startled, but quickly regained his composure. There was no trace of surprise in his eyes, but a touch of tenderness: "Is that all? I was so scared that I thought you had made a big mistake."

Xiao Wu was stunned, her voice trembling. "You... you're not afraid? Don't you hate me? I'm a soul beast, and humans... all hate soul beasts."

Lu Yu walked forward, patted her shoulder gently, and said firmly: "Xiao Wu, I don't care whether you are a soul beast or a human.

You are my partner, my family, and that is enough."

He paused and took out an exquisite necklace from his arms. The pendant was inlaid with a dark blue gem that emitted a faint luster.

"This is for you. Wear it, and even a Titled Douluo won't be able to detect your aura."

Xiao Wu took the necklace, tears welling up in her eyes: "Lu Yu, you...why are you so nice to me?"

Lu Yu smiled and ruffled her hair: "Because you are Xiao Wu, do you still need a reason? Put it on quickly, don't let anyone see the flaw, especially that old poisonous guy."

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously and put the necklace on her neck. The gemstones touched her skin, bringing a hint of coolness.

She raised her head, her eyes full of gratitude: "Lu Yu, thank you, I...I'm really afraid that you will hate me."

Lu Yu waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "Okay, don't think too much.

There's another tough battle tomorrow, so go back and rest, don't dawdle here."

Xiao Wu burst into laughter and gently hugged Lu Yu: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After seeing Xiao Wu off, Lu Yu just walked out of the room when he ran into Zhu Zhuqing head-on.

She stood under the locust tree, the moonlight outlining her slim figure, but her eyes were somewhat complicated.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Zhu Qing, why are you running here so late instead of sleeping?"

Zhu Zhuqing approached and said in a cold voice, "I just saw Ma Hongjun. He's here. Dai Mubai is probably here too."

Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of fighting spirit: "Oh? They are indeed at the Royal Academy. It seems that they came here to prepare in advance."

He paused, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth: "Alright, I can fight them again tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned: "You can still laugh? The last time we fought them, we put in a lot of effort."

Lu Yu's eyes were far away, as if he was lost in memories: "Yes, it was indeed difficult last time.

However, precisely because it is difficult, I want to become stronger."

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a firm gaze: "Zhuqing, tomorrow we will show them the strength of Shrek!"

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly startled, then nodded, with a bit more fighting spirit in her eyes: "Okay, I'll accompany you."

Lu Yu suddenly smiled, put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders, and said half-jokingly: "Come on, let's go inside and talk, just touch each other, nothing else."

Zhu Zhuqing blushed and glared at him: "Lu Yu, be serious! Who would believe this?"

Lu Yu laughed and put his arm around her as he walked into the room: "Believe it or not, I keep my word."

Zhu Zhuqing sighed helplessly, but finally nodded and followed him into the room.

The moonlight shines in the courtyard, the locust trees sway, and the night is quiet, as if brewing endless possibilities for tomorrow's battle.

In the room, the flickering candlelight added a touch of ambiguity to the atmosphere.

Lu Yu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile: "Zhu Qing, tell me, how are we going to deal with that guy Dai Mubai tomorrow?"

Zhu Zhuqing sat on a chair nearby, crossed her arms, and said unhappily, "You only know how to think about these messed up things.

Don't be careless during tomorrow's sparring session. Those people at the Royal Academy are not simple people."

Lu Yu waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "Don't worry, I know what's going on.

Dai Mubai, that big cat, was nearly beaten to a pulp by me last time, and I won't show mercy this time."

Zhu Zhuqing snorted: "Just brag. If it weren't for Tang San's hidden weapon last time, you would have been beaten by him."

When Lu Yu heard this, he pretended to be displeased: "Hey, Zhu Qing, are you being disloyal? Are you speaking for outsiders?"

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at him, but the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously: "Who helped outsiders? I'm reminding you not to be too arrogant, so as not to embarrass yourself tomorrow."

Lu Yu laughed, stood up and walked over, gently pinching her cheek: "Okay, I got it, my Miss Zhuqing.

I promise that tomorrow I will let those guys from the Royal Academy see how powerful Shrek is."

Zhu Zhuqing slapped his hand away, her cheeks slightly red: "Stop touching me, let's get down to business!"

Lu Yu smiled even more happily and sat back on the bed: "Okay, let's talk business.

How do you think we should cooperate when facing Dai Mubai tomorrow?"

Zhu Zhuqing pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Dai Mubai's White Tiger Fierce Light Wave is powerful, but it takes a long time to start. We can use your speed advantage and cooperate with my Netherworld Stab to catch him off guard."

Lu Yu nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Not bad, Zhu Qing, your brain is getting better and better."

Zhu Zhuqing ignored his teasing and continued, "And Ma Hongjun, his Phoenix Flame is very troublesome. We need Oscar's Mushroom Sausage to help us evade it."

Lu Yu touched his chin and thought: "Well, Oscar's assistance is indeed crucial.

Tomorrow I will lead the attack, you and Tang San will be responsible for containment, Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong will be the rearguard, Rongrong's amplification must be used at the critical moment."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, with a bit more determination in her eyes: "Okay, it's settled."

Lu Yu looked at her serious expression and suddenly smiled: "Zhu Qing, you look really cute when you are serious."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks turned even redder. She glared at him and said, "Lu Yu, can you be serious?"

Lu Yu laughed, stood up and stretched: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore.

It’s getting late, go back and rest, we have to fight a good battle tomorrow.”

Zhu Zhuqing stood up and snorted, "That's better."

She turned to leave, but Lu Yu gently grabbed her wrist.

"what?"

Zhu Zhuqing turned around with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Lu Yu smiled gently: "Nothing, I just want to say that I feel at ease with you here tomorrow."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "Slippery tongue."

She pulled her hand away and walked away quickly, with a barely perceptible smile on her back.

In the room, the candlelight still flickered.

Lu Yu looked at Zhu Zhuqing's departing figure, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but a firm look flashed in his eyes: "Royal Academy, Dugu Bo, Dai Mubai... Tomorrow, I will let you see how powerful I am!"
