Seeing Mo Yu accept the challenge, a cold smile appeared on Luo Bu's face.
"Yu'er, why didn't you stop him? Senior Luo Bu is a 4-Star Dou Zhe," one of the girls beside Xiao Yu spoke up, somewhat upset.
Judging from Luo Bu's expression, it was obvious that the fight wouldn't be just a friendly spar.
Standing beside Xiao Yu, Xue Ni blinked her bright eyes, curiously staring at the boy who maintained a calm smile. She wondered whether this Mo Yu was really someone Xiao Yu could entrust herself to.
Pursing her rosy lips, Xue Ni crossed her arms over her chest, squeezing her ample bust into a deep cleavage, with a flash of anticipation in her eyes.
Xiao Yu lazily stretched her arms. Although her chest wasn't particularly large, it still formed a proud contour. Her jade-like hand brushed aside the strands of hair on her forehead as she glanced at the boy's back and casually said, "Who will suffer is not certain yet."
As the two inside the tent prepared for their fight, the twenty or so new students standing outside under the blazing sun cast curious glances their way. These students, hailing from Wu Tan City or nearby towns, had heard of or even seen Mo Yu's reputation firsthand.
Now, witnessing a new student challenge an upperclassman was quite an exciting sight.
Luo Bu, thoroughly enjoying the attention, smiled wickedly as his eyes swept over Mo Yu. His fake smile was filled with malice.
"Let's get this over with quickly. It won't take long," Mo Yu said nonchalantly, causing the crowd to be momentarily stunned.
"Oh? So confident, are we?"
Luo Bu's anger surged at Mo Yu's dismissive attitude. Did this boy think of him as nothing more than a small obstacle?
With a cold sneer, Luo Bu leaned forward, clenching his right fist. Yellow Dou Qi gathered around it, surging with an earthy strength as he aimed a vicious punch at Mo Yu's head.
"Earth attribute Dou Qi, huh..."
Mo Yu lifted his eyelids slightly, watching the rapidly approaching fist. He shook his head gently, and just before the punch landed, his hand shot out, effortlessly stopping Luo Bu's attack.
Mo Yu's hand intercepted the fist with such precision that it remained completely still, as though Luo Bu's immense force had been swallowed by a bottomless pit.
"Too weak. Use your full strength. I'll give you one more chance to attack," Mo Yu said with a shake of his head, his voice calm.
His words, tinged with slight mockery, caused everyone around to fall silent. Their stunned gazes locked onto the point where fist met palm. It was hard to believe that a mere new student had so easily blocked the attack of an upperclassman, a 4-Star Dou Zhe.
"Damn it! You're dead!"
Humiliated by a freshman, Luo Bu's face turned red with rage. With a sharp kick off the ground, his body shot into the air. Spinning mid-flight, yellow Dou Qi surged around his right hand, forming an illusory layer resembling a stone wall. With a fierce roar, Luo Bu brought his palm crashing down towards Mo Yu's head.
"What a shameless move, using the Rock Coffin Palm... That's a Xuan class middle-rank Dou Technique! How despicable!" The girls around Xiao Yu angrily yelled when they saw Luo Bu's Dou Technique.
Xiao Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly at Luo Bu's actions but quickly relaxed. After all, even when Liu Xi had used Beast Flame, hadn't he still been defeated by Mo Yu?
Mo Yu raised his face, his expression calm as always. Faced with the powerful palm technique, he slowly lifted his hand and aimed at the falling Luo Bu.
As his lips moved, ten thunder patterns suddenly lit up on his right arm, and with a soft whisper, a massive surge of invisible thunder Dou Qi erupted from Mo Yu's palm, violently clashing against Luo Bu's attack.
With a thunderous sound, the stone wall of Luo Bu's technique crumbled like a collapsing mountain. Mo Yu's fist didn't stop there—it continued forward, striking Luo Bu squarely in the chest.
Luo Bu's face turned pale as he felt an invisible force crash into his chest. His body was flung backward, and blood spurted from his mouth.
His body flew more than ten meters through the air before crashing onto the scorching ground, where he coughed up more blood before losing consciousness.
From Luo Bu's aggressive attack to his sudden defeat, only a dozen or so seconds had passed.
Everyone, both inside and outside the tent, fell into a stunned silence, shocked by the rapid outcome.
"Fame truly isn't unfounded... What terrifying talent." The girls, both freshmen and upperclassmen, stared at Mo Yu in awe.
"Yu... Yu'er, just how strong is your fiancé? Judging by this, he must be at least 6-Star or 7-Star, right?" A girl standing beside Xiao Yu stammered, staring blankly at the boy in green robes.
Easily defeating an upperclassman with the strength of a 4-Star Dou Zhe—this level of power clearly wasn't something a low-star Dou Zhe could achieve. And considering the boy's age, it was even more astounding.
Xiao Yu smiled sweetly, her gaze fixed firmly on Mo Yu in the center of the crowd. A look of deep affection flickered in her eyes as she replied with a smile, "More or less, though his strength has improved quickly. Just a year ago, he was still stuck in the Dou Zhi Qi stage."
"What!?" Xue Ni and the other female students, including the upperclassmen, were stunned. To improve so rapidly without any signs of instability in his Dou Qi—this boy's talent was truly terrifying.
They couldn't help but think to themselves, could they have encountered another monster on par with those on the Inner Academy Strong Rankings?
While the others were still caught in their shock, Mo Yu glanced at the defeated Luo Bu, shaking his head. With strength like that, Luo Bu had the audacity to pester Xiao Yu?
After today's lesson, Luo Bu probably wouldn't dare to provoke Xiao Yu again. If he continued to act recklessly, Mo Yu wouldn't mind erasing him from the world entirely.
With the trouble dealt with, Mo Yu was ready to take his leave. After all, he wasn't really here to take the Jia Nan Academy entrance exam.
However, just as Mo Yu was about to bid farewell to Xiao Yu and the others, a soft, gentle voice suddenly broke the silence, like a stream of water flowing through the hearts of everyone present.
"Hehe, such talent... Looks like I've found a real treasure this time."
As the voice faded, a mature and voluptuous woman, dressed in green, stepped out from the tent with a graceful smile. Her gentle expression was like a clear stream washing over the hearts of those who saw her.
As soon as the woman appeared, the male students, both inside and outside the tent, were immediately captivated by her presence...
Even Mo Yu's eyes flashed with a trace of heat, but it quickly disappeared as he suppressed it, his face returning to its usual calm demeanor.
Looking at the mature and alluring woman, Mo Yu said indifferently, "Sorry, I'm not interested in Jia Nan Academy." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NovelHub(.)net
