There was no time for him to think. Lan Xuanyu unconsciously thought that he should gamble it all.
He took a deep breath while falling, activating all his energy and blood within him. Suddenly, a faintly discernible dragon roar that was low and deep came out of his body. The gold scales on his right arm quickly extended to his shoulder. Forcing his body to turn, he unleashed a punch. Golden Dragon Soar!
As he unleashed the punch, he subconsciously recalled the golden dragon that charged courageously towards the warships.
An indescribable feeling pervaded his entire body. The originally faint dragon roar became even more tangible. A golden light aura that resembled a dragon head shot out of his right fist.
The shark beneath him, which previously had its mouth open as it waited for him to drop, now closed its mouth and charged towards him.
No matter how angry she was, Dong Qianqiu knew how to control her actions. She could not kill Lan Xuanyu!
The instant the dark blue shark collided with Lan Xuanyu, it weakened the aura on his body and was punched back into the water. Lan Xuanyu, however, flew back up into the sky.
Dong Qianqiu pressed her ice wave downwards and borrowed the power of the recoil from the water surface to jump back up into the air. She caught up with Lan Xuanyu and kicked him in the butt, sending him back to land.
Dong Qianqiu had given him a few punches and even kicked him once, resolving most of her anger, but the shouts he made while running made her fume in rage once again.
Although he was rather good looking, how could he be so bad!
He was such a bad boy!
Furious, she quickly ran on the water surface and chased after Lan Xuanyu.
The students by the lake were all dumbstruck. Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu’s interactions had stunned them, be it Lan Xuanyu’s response and tough skin or Dong Qianqiu’s powerful attacks. None of the students in the elementary academy believed they could defeat Dong Qianqiu. The infamy of being the strongest in the elementary academy had its merits.
Lan Xuanyu’s memory was considered excellent. He could clearly recall the route taken after having used it once. He sprinted quickly, following the route that they had taken before to the house.
“Stop right there!” Dong Qianqiu’s combat ability was strong and her Soul Power was capable of long battles, but her physical stamina was inferior to Lan Xuanyu’s.
Lan Xuanyu’s explosive strength was extremely strong; the additional points he earned from the physical test every term were not for nothing. This made his all-out sprint extremely fast like a speeding horse. Dong Qianqiu was not an agility-type combat Soul Master, so she had difficulty chasing after him. She could not rely on Soul skills that were capable of killing either.
And then there was the fact that they were in the academy. What if an accident were to occur? It was fine on the lake, since the ice awls could not reach anyone else, but inside the academy, students might walk out at the wrong time. If they were to sustain injuries, there would definitely be trouble.
Lan Xuanyu charged into the building as though in deep distress. Without waiting for the lift, he sped up the stairs.
Dong Qianqiu followed close behind. It looked like she was about to catch him.
“Teacher Nana, save me!” Lan Xuanyu cried out.
Dong Qianqiu clenched her teeth. With a wave of her hand, an ice ball shot straight at Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu did not bother dodging and covered his head as he fled, screaming out loud when the ice ball landed on him.
He knew that he had to let Dong Qianqiu hit him a couple of times. Otherwise, the young lady would not allow it to end there.
After reaching their floor, Lan Xuanyu ran straight to Nana’s dorm.
Dong Qianqiu finally caught up.
Lan Xuanyu knocked on the door. “Save me, Teacher Nana!” Then he hugged his head with both hands and knelt down on the spot, as though he was waiting for a beating.
Dong Qianqiu quickly arrived beside him and was about to congeal an ice spear, but when she saw Lan Xuanyu’s frightened expression and his posture, her heart softened. ‘I can’t really use the ice spear to prick him while he’s defenseless, right?’
She chose to kick him a few times. “Speak more drivel, talk more!”
Right at that time, the door opened.
Nan Cheng was the one to open the door and coincidentally witnessed the scene. She was immediately stumped for words.
Dong Qianqiu’s leg was in midair when she looked up and saw Nan Cheng. Immediately, her expression turned awkward.
They were fine when they left!
Lan Xuanyu raised his head and looked at Nan Cheng with an aggrieved expression. “Mom, she beat me.”
Dong Qianqiu almost fainted with rage. How dare he! Did he have no shame? Without thinking, she blurted out, “Aunty, he kissed me.”
She instantly regretted it. Her face turned red.
Nan Cheng was originally slightly angry when she heard Lan Xuanyu’s words and saw his sorry state. They were guests here, how could Dong Qianqiu bully her son? Which mother wouldn’t stand by her son’s side?
However, Dong Qianqiu’s words shocked her. ‘My son kissed another family’s girl? What is going on? Isn’t it their first time meeting?’ She was unaware that Lan Xuanyu had met Dong Qianqiu many times through the summons.
‘They are still too young! They can’t be talking about romance now! But this little girl is really beautiful and definitely compatible with Xuanyu. Her fuming appearance is still too charming.’
Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu were completely unaware of Nan Cheng’s thoughts.
What was even more shocking to Lan Xuanyu was that Nan Cheng actually… closed the door on them.
Without saying a word, she quietly closed the door on him…
Lan Xuanyu stared at the door, then turned to look at the fuming Dong Qianqiu. ‘What is going on? How can my mother, who loves me so much, do this?’
Dong Qianqiu regained her senses and smiled at Lan Xuanyu. With one hand clenched into a fist and the other pressing down on her knuckles, a series of ‘crack’ sounds formed.
“Aunty is too kind. Don’t worry, I won’t hit your face on Aunty’s account!”
When Nan Cheng heard her son’s wails, she explained herself to Lan Xiao, then said, “Husband, what should we do? Nana went out to buy something and isn’t home.”
Lan Xiao replied calmly. “Your son, that brat, is squatting there openly and letting her beat him. Obviously, he took advantage of her. Let the children handle their own matters. How bad could he end up? That brat sure is capable! He is stronger than his pops, to dare kiss a girl on their first meeting. But she is really pretty and they’re rather compatible. Don’t you know that taking a beating shows intimacy? Scolding is a form of love, and too much of it results in a kick. This beating might turn out to be something when they grow up.”
The noise outside finally quietened down after a long time.
Dong Qianqiu sat on the floor, gasping as she stared at Lan Xuanyu, who was seated beside her, beaten to a pulp. She had vented and released her anger.
Naturally, she beat him without using Soul Power, though as a Soul Master, her fists and kicks were still heavy.
The whole time, Lan Xuanyu covered his head and did not retaliate or resist. He allowed her to beat him up and maintained the manners of a gentleman. The anger in Dong Qianqiu’s heart gradually receded, but upon remembering that Lan Xuanyu had not only kissed her, but also spoiled her name, the anger built up again immediately. He was so good looking, but why was his heart so naughty?
Lan Xuanyu raised his head and stole a peek at her.
He felt sore after taking the long beating but did not sustain any injuries. His body was countless times stronger than ordinary humans; it was not too painful for him.
