Chapter 142 The Battle with Lu Yunxi

With the academy doing nothing, Lu Yunshi won one victory after another. The few students who managed to escape the first round of attacks were defeated in tears in the subsequent battles.

To everyone's surprise, whenever Lu Yunshi encountered someone with decent late-stage Nascent Soul strength, he would fight them before using pills to send them away.

At first, people were very curious about the reason for Lu Yunshi's behavior. He clearly had the ability to carry people away directly, but he still chose to fight with them and then defeat them under the opponent's surprised and unwilling expression. What kind of perverse pleasure was behind this?

However, everyone who was observing Lu Yunshi soon discovered that his own strength was also increasing during his battle with those people.

This guy, is he using his opponent as a whetstone? That's disgusting.

In conclusion, despite their shameless and despicable fighting methods, Lu Yunshi and Zhang Quan successfully won the second test.

"Phew~ The expressions on those people's faces were really interesting. It was worth fighting them. I should record it and make a compilation of loser's failed facial expressions. It'll give me a laugh if I can't sleep at night."

That night, after the assessment, Lu Yunshi returned home and couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how he had sent those people away with the pills.

Soon, Lao Liu arrived, bringing some things for Lu Yunshi.

There are still two or three days before the third assessment begins, giving the students who have advanced a chance to rest. During these two or three days, Lu Yunshi still has a lot to do.

Lu Yunshi sighed as he looked at the pile of things Lao Liu had brought on the table. It was another sleepless night.

The following day at noon, Lu Yunshi arrived at Lu Yunxi's residence, looking exhausted. He went straight inside, and Lu Yunxi, who was sitting in the courtyard meditating, opened her eyes with a puzzled expression, seemingly also puzzled by Lu Yunshi's arrival.

"That's strange. You came to me on your own without me calling you. Aren't you afraid I'll punch you against the wall?" As Lu Yunxi spoke, a barely perceptible smile inadvertently appeared on her lips.

"Haha, Miss, what are you saying? I usually come here to do your laundry and cook for you while you're cultivating," Lu Yunshi laughed.

“That’s what you should do,” Lu Yunxi replied, raising her head.

After speaking, Lu Yunxi remained silent for a while, then asked again, "Why did you come here so suddenly? Is there something you need?"

“Indeed, there is something I need Miss’s help with.” Upon hearing this, Lu Yunshi immediately stepped forward and approached Lu Yunxi, speaking with a pleading tone.

"What is it?" Lu Yunxi asked calmly.

"That's right. As you know, Miss, I've only just broken through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. My strength is far inferior to that of outsiders. I was beaten so badly in the second round of the assessment that I couldn't even fight back."

"That's because you're useless," Lu Yunxi sneered.

"Yes, yes, I know I'm not strong enough, so that's why I wanted to come and ask you for help, Miss." Lu Yunshi nodded repeatedly and continued speaking in accordance with Lu Yunxi's words.

"I didn't expect you to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm immediately." Lu Yunxi pursed her lips and gave the other person a disgruntled look.

"Of course I know that. What I mean is that there's no way to break through now. I can only make up for it in other ways. Even if it only makes me a little bit stronger, that will be enough."

"So what you mean is..." Lu Yunxi glanced at him, as if she had realized something.

"I beg you, young lady, to fight me and hone my skills," Lu Yunshi said.

"A fight?" Lu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh, her beautiful face filled with coldness. "Are you sure? I won't hold back against you."

"Really?" Lu Yunshi asked tentatively.

Lu Yunxi paused for two seconds upon hearing this. "But then again, the weather is nice today, and I'm in a good mood, so I'll try not to kill you. I'll just... use my early-stage Nascent Soul strength."

"Phew~ I'm relieved. I'm so grateful for your great kindness, Miss." Lu Yunshi patted his chest and said with deep gratitude.

Soon, the two drew their swords and faced each other, while the bamboo leaves on all sides swayed without any wind.

"Young Miss, be careful!" Lu Yunshi warned, and then rushed out first.

Seeing this, Lu Yunxi calmly stepped forward to deal with it.

Soon, Lu Yunxi realized that something was wrong with her opponent. This reckless fighting style was not Lu Yunshi's style. Even if she was unwilling to admit it, she knew that Lu Yunshi always planned his moves carefully before fighting. Only when he was forced into a desperate situation would he choose to go all out against his enemy.

Even in the most challenging times, Lu Yunshi never lost his ability to think critically.

For Lu Yunshi, taking a desperate gamble was merely a choice made in the face of a dire situation, not a reckless act of completely abandoning his mind.

However, Lu Yunshi's fighting style can be described as reckless. It cannot be said that his current combat power is low, but it is definitely not Lu Yunshi's fighting style.

"Young Miss is indeed formidable. Let's see how this move goes." Lu Yunshi shouted sharply, and his offensive suddenly changed again.

His swordsmanship and his strategies for dealing with enemies both underwent a certain degree of change at this moment.

Lu Yunxi was perfectly aware of this. 'It's changed again.'

Although she realized Lu Yunshi's strangeness, Lu Yunxi didn't say anything during the battle. She simply countered his moves and gradually defeated him.

However, whenever Lu Yunshi suffered a defeat, he would soon change his tactics.

By evening, Lu Yunshi had used ten different methods to fight Lu Yunxi. Although some of these methods were similar, there were still significant differences between them.

Of course, more importantly, Lu Yunshi would shout loudly every time he switched fighting styles, as if he were deliberately reminding himself.

No, this is a deliberate reminder.

In the final moments of the battle, Lu Yunxi swung her sword, sending Lu Yunxi flying. The rock that had been bearing so much weight finally shattered. She stood before Lu Yunxi, sword in hand, her eyes filled with hostility.

"Lu Yunshi, what exactly are you doing?"

Lu Yunshi gave a wry smile. "These are some of the fighting styles of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators that I've seen. I originally intended to use their fighting styles to fight you, Miss. However, if I could learn some ways to deal with them from you, it would be more effective for me than improving myself in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. After a long silence, she parted her red lips slightly. "Boring."

"Haha, that's true. It seems I need to think about this more. I'll take my leave now, Miss. Please get some rest." Lu Yunshi smiled and stood up as if nothing had happened, ready to leave.

"Wait a minute." Lu Yunxi called out to stop the other person, speaking only when the other looked at her with a puzzled expression. "You haven't cooked for me today."

"Um...then should I stay?" Lu Yunshi asked.

"Hmm...and one more." Lu Yunxi nodded slightly, then turned her face to the side. "Is your painting still not finished?"

"Ah...this...it's still a little short. Miss, you must know your own beauty. Even I would need a lot of time to describe this magnificent scene." Lu Yunshi said with a wandering gaze.

"Hmm?" Lu Yunxi was silent for a moment, then suddenly squinted and walked up to Lu Yunshi, revealing a faint smile. "You've told many lies and are very good at deceiving people, but this sentence... I believe you are telling the truth."

"Huh?" Lu Yunshi was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Yunxi leave after speaking.

Is my kid really that confident? Although it's definitely the truth.

"You stinky Yunshi! Tell me quickly, what are my good points?" (☆▽☆)

"Nervous?"

"Is this an advantage?" (﹁ ﹁ )

"So... she has a sweet voice, isn't rowdy, is exceptionally kind and gentle, is friendly, not violent at all, has a wonderful personality, and is also very beautiful?"

"Really?" (//▽//)

"fake."

“You…” (╬￣皿￣)

"But it's not entirely fake, it's real that it's beautiful, that's the whole truth."

"Hehe!" <(＠￣︶￣＠)>
