Chapter 226 The Ancient King of the Sun! A Succubus Enters the Imperial Capital! A Battleground Erupts? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Although Xu Shu knew that Lu Yu's overall strength was quite good, he had always only regarded him as a promising junior, and then...
He got brutally beaten!
Watching the battle arena, which resembled a clash between high-level overlord monsters, and witnessing the immense release of spiritual energy, Xu Shu was stunned.
Although it's not a life-or-death battle, Xu Shu hasn't used the Spiritual Puzzle [Frosty Kingdom], and his core pet beast at the peak of Morning Star hasn't appeared either!
but……
He's a whole major rank ahead!
Unable to see through the [Destiny's Protection] skill, Xu Shu subconsciously assumed that Lu Yu had already obtained the Primal Bronze in the Primal Spirit Sea and advanced to a spiritual transformation.
Even so... it's already outrageous that his three pet beasts can overpower a high-level Morning Star.
If I were to be promoted to Morning Star, that would be incredible!
Wouldn't they be suppressed in return?
"Wait, could it be because I drank too much yesterday and am actually still dreaming?"
Thinking of this, Xu Shu couldn't help but pinch his ribs...
Tsk, it really doesn't hurt!
It was a dream!
Xu Shu looked up and saw Yue Hao pointing at the hand Xu Shu was pinching, and said speechlessly, "This time, for the sake of friendship, I'll just give you 100,000 yuan for emotional distress!"
Xu Shu immediately snapped to attention, and regardless of whether it was a dream or not, angrily retorted:
"Damn, are you covered in gold?"
Yue Hao sneered, "I won't inlay gold, but I'm a Moonlit Rank Beast Tamer, inlaid with moons. Want to try?"
Xu Shu was speechless, because fencing was truly unbearable!
Damn it, that show-off beat me to the promotion. I'll get my revenge when I reach the Radiant Moon realm later. As for this time...
Endure it!
"snort!"
Yue Hao snorted coldly, watching the fierce battle on the stage. Although his expression was calm, he subconsciously pushed up his glasses.
Even if Xu Shu hadn't pinched himself, he would have found a way to sober up, since he was already somewhat dazed.
Without family support or powerful beast tamer elders, even if he conquers many secret realms, the level of the secret realms is not high, and the resources he obtains are at most comparable to the mid-level Morning Star.
That's already an overestimation!
but now……
Yue Hao watched as the Hundred-Eyed Dragon, who had been suppressing and brutally beating the Frost Breath Flood Dragon, roared across the world.
With its hundred eyes wide open, like an evil dragon descending to earth, it condensed beams of destruction that annihilated everything!
If it weren't for the fact that the Cold Breath Flood Dragon's rank was higher than others, and that the dragon race had a robust physique, it wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long.
The Black Crimson Dragon Ant, which suppresses the spirit of heavy water with absolute force, moves like a mountain collapsing, showcasing the ultimate violent aesthetics!
The immense force brought by the so-called heavy water was easily neutralized by the Alatreon Red Dragon Ant!
And then there were the little spiders that strode through the void, their sword energy sweeping across, leaving the Weak Water Spider only able to flee in a sorry state.
Each of the three pet beasts is exceptionally well-trained. This doesn't just mean they have high rank or strong spiritual energy, but also that their combat instincts and skill proficiency are top-notch!
This is what shocked Yue Hao the most.
Since spiritual energy can be enhanced with treasures, and spirituality is stable... this can be loosely explained by the fact that Lu Yu has been insane for too long, which has honed his willpower to a firmer degree.
The only thing I can't figure out is how skill proficiency is improved.
Even if you include the time he spends sleeping, it would only take a year at most!
"Could it be related to the Dream Eater Cult again, with dreams that can alter the flow of time? Just how much of their legacy did they leave behind?"
Yue Hao regretted not participating in that annihilation battle. If he had known they had so many resources, he would have definitely whipped the Dream Eater Cult three hundred times over!
"This kid... he's serious!"
The most bewildered of all was Luo Zisong, after all, he had just served as an examiner for the top genius battle alongside Lu Yu not long ago.
He swept through the border geniuses, almost causing a bunch of people to become deformed!
Back then, this kid seemed to have some difficulty even killing a peak-stage Morning Star Infant Angel, but now less than a month has passed...
They can actually overpower high-level Morning Star fighters!
Is the Beastmaster's talent for "Natural Affinity" really that powerful?
This is practically becoming nature's biological father!
However, after the initial shock came a pleasant surprise. They had initially thought that this kid might not be able to defeat the top geniuses from the capital and various regions.
If we lose, it would be pitiful for us to be all alone, so I came to cheer him on!
But now it seems...
This kid is just killing indiscriminately!
A guaranteed top-five finish! The Rookie of the Year award is in the bag!
It may sound a bit conservative, but this is a genius of the same age across the entire league!
Having received extensive training since childhood, she excels in spiritual puzzles and pet crafting—truly hellish difficulty!
"Could this kid be a descendant of some ancient king who vanished with the passage of time?" Luo Zisong couldn't help but mutter.
After all, even the supreme beings are buried by time and become ancient gods. If the Skeleton Emperor had not done everything in his power to guide him, he might not have been able to return.
True kings who do not enter the gate of immortality will naturally disappear into the long course of history!
Without the blessing of the law, if their descendants do not have enough talent, they will gradually lose their divine abilities and eventually become just like everyone else.
But the true king stands at the pinnacle of the mortal world, possessing power beyond imagination.
Even if it is gone, the power of the law may remain!
Therefore, under intense emotional fluctuations, there is a very small chance that some descendants will awaken the power of law that the ancient king left at the source of their bloodline, thus gaining an extraordinary life!
Judging from Lu Yu's current performance, his foundation is solid, his spirituality is stable, and there is no tendency towards distortion. This can rule out the influence of the gods!
The secret treasures of the rule system also come at a price, and Lu Yu does not seem to have lost any limbs.
Only the awakening of the ancient king's bloodline can explain this extraordinary speed of advancement!
Could it be that Lu Yu's mental breakdown was caused by the death of his parents and the double stimulation of awakening his talent, which directly awakened his bloodline?
And an ancient king connected to the sun? No wonder he advanced so quickly and maintained such a stable spirituality. If it's related to the law, then everything makes sense…”
Luo Zisong pondered this in his heart, and his appreciation for Lu Yu grew even stronger.
It's not because he might possess royal blood!
After all, now that the Supreme Council has been established, there are quite a few descendants of the true kings, but very few of them can become top-tier powerhouses.
It still depends on the individual's ability!
He once read a fantasy biographical novel, and there was a sentence in it that was very well written.
A true king is not defined by bloodline, but a bloodline takes pride in its king!
Lu Yu was someone he had watched rise to prominence step by step. He was determined, cautious in his actions, and displayed astonishing wisdom in conquering the secret realm.
This cannot be explained simply by bloodline; rather, it is because they possess the potential to become an eternal giant!
Having the bloodline of an ancient king is icing on the cake for him, rather than a lifeline in his time of need!
Lu Yu himself is light; he doesn't need anyone else to illuminate him!
"It's a pity that Qingyue left home in a hurry after her pet beast successfully evolved. I don't know where she went to do it. Otherwise, I really wanted to drug them and lock them in a room so I could hold my great-grandson ahead of time..."
Luo Zisong sighed inwardly, because once Lu Yu made a name for himself in this entrance exam, it would definitely attract the attention of many aristocratic families.
Large families never lack offspring, especially girls who are beautiful but not particularly talented.
At that time, Luo Qingyue will face even greater competitive pressure.
"Fortunately, the alliance encourages childbirth and doesn't mandate monogamy for beast tamers. As long as this kid isn't some pure-love type, there's still a chance..."
Luo Zisong pondered to himself, realizing how much effort they had put into ensuring the continuation of the Luo family line.
On the stage,
Just as Egg, Little Spider, and Alatreon were about to continue their attack, the three opposing pets were summoned back into their Beast Taming Space!
They came up empty-handed!
"roar!"
Egg flapped its dragon wings, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in its eyes. It hadn't had its fill of fighting yet!
The mouse and the little spider were quite calm, after all, it wasn't a life-or-death battle, and completing their master's task was enough.
Xu Shu calmed the three angry pets in the beast-taming space, looked at Lu Yu's youthful face, and said admiringly:
"Congratulations, you've passed the test!"
Although his pet beasts seemed to be at a disadvantage, they wouldn't be so restrained if it were a life-or-death struggle!
Beastmasters are essentially a bunch of lunatics. Aside from the rules and restrictions on the arena, they use all sorts of dirty tricks and have no sense of martial ethics!
but……
Xu Shu discovered that Lu Yu had not used the spiritual puzzle so far, which already spoke volumes.
Moreover, if the fighting continues, the entire battle room's ceremonial structure will collapse. If it does, the Imperial Capital Alliance will be alerted!
"Grandpa Xu, you flatter me!" Lu Yu scratched his head and said "shyly."
It's not a lie, after all, they haven't even used the spiritual puzzle yet, and Lu Yu also took a shortcut, using the legendary dragon bloodline of the egg to suppress part of the Cold Breath Dragon's strength. The Radiant Black Dragon Ant has a special body structure and is least afraid of a clash of strength.
Spider-Man is his trump card, as he wields the power of the void!
What speed can compare to leaping through the void?
Therefore, suppression is already the limit. To easily defeat the high-level Morning Star, we would have to wait for the three little ones to advance to the Spiritual Transformation level!
But this record is truly astonishing!
Even looking at the entire league, they belong to the top tier!
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
As applause rang out, Yue Hao said with a smile:
"Your strength is indeed beyond my expectations, but according to my information, several geniuses from aristocratic families have already advanced to the Morning Star level. There's even a monster possessing the Seed of Law. So, until the final victory, don't let your guard down; arrogance is the greatest enemy!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Teacher Yue." Lu Yu nodded, remaining calm and not becoming arrogant because of it.
We will unswervingly choose the tactic of bullying the weak!
Moreover, if one cannot even defeat opponents of the same age, how can one contend with the supreme beings and forbidden beings?
I might as well go home and farm!
His gaze was always fixed on the figures above the stars!
After listening, Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk tsk, Seeds of Law, there are so many monsters this year. The last year and the year before that seem to be about the same. I think I also heard from the Alliance researchers that the world's psionic energy concentration seems to be increasing. These kids are really lucky to have caught up with such a good era."
"When we were young, we were only a few Morning Star level cultivators. Although they beat us up, they are still at the peak of Morning Star. On the contrary, you advanced to Radiant Moon first. Among our group, it seems that you have improved the fastest!"
"If it weren't for the conflict between Lao Luo's master pet and the spiritual puzzle, he would have been a few years ahead of me." Yue Hao shook his head and sighed.
Xu Shu's face stiffened; he realized he'd spoken out of turn and brought up an awkward topic. He tried to salvage the situation, but Luo Zisong said nonchalantly:
"Let bygones be bygones. If the path of abundant harvests is blocked, then let's take the path of abundant bones. As beast tamers, it's our responsibility to them!"
The other two nodded, but did not discuss the topic in detail.
Lu Yu listened from the side and roughly understood what had happened.
Principal Luo Zisong could have been promoted to Huiyue in the past.
It's all because of the Five-Bone Abundant Bird!
Corruption and prosperity coexist, yet they are mutually exclusive! Luo Zisong initially wanted to pursue the "Five Grains Abundant Harvest" path, so the puzzle attribute should also be related to prosperity.
But the Five Grains Abundant Harvest Bird has become the Five Bones Abundant Harvest Bird!
It's like when you're cooking porridge and a lump of cow dung falls into the pot, ruining the whole thing.
This caused conflict in Luo Zisong's spiritual puzzle, resulting in an imbalance in his spirituality and hindering his advancement.
Unless you abandon your main pet, the only options are to fuse it or reverse its nature!
But both paths are extremely difficult, and as for abandoning his master and favorite, Luo Zisong could not do such a thing!
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!"
Luo Zisong took the initiative to end the conversation, looking at Lu Yu and saying:
"By the way, recently the Church of Corruption, the Church of Great Desire, the Church of Storms, and several other cults have been unusually active in several nearby domains. They may have already entered the domain where the capital is located."
So, during and after the college entrance exam, you'd better stay in the city, otherwise you'll run into these lunatics and cause trouble!
"good!"
Lu Yu nodded, then followed Xu Shu to take photos and update information. To the surprise of the staff, he jumped directly from the Silver-rank Beastmaster certification to the Morning Star rank!
A whole host of benefits have been unlocked. For example, if you choose to settle in Beijing and stay for more than ten years, you can get a house within the Third Ring Road and receive an annual allowance.
If you are still single, you will receive invitations to matchmaking events in high society, where there will be many young ladies from wealthy families who are eager to marry into a better family.
And dedicated affiliate customer service, etc...
And from now on, Lu Yu can also accept some four-star missions.
He glanced at the relevant information and compared to it, the silver and gold missions were simply child's play!
For example, eradicating a branch of a large evil god cult like the Black Sun Church, destroying a medium-sized demonic lair that threatens a human town, or even hunting down a dominant demonic creature that has destroyed a human town, etc...
Each one is extremely dangerous, but fortunately the corresponding rewards are very high, often starting at several million, and the materials obtained also belong to you!
Seeing Lu Yu's interested expression, Xu Shu smiled and said:
"Take on more missions when you have time to accumulate Alliance Points. Something good will come your way in a while, and it will benefit you."
Lu Yu was puzzled, but when he asked what it was, Xu Shu chose to keep it a secret.
Luo Zisong, who was standing nearby, angrily told the riddle teller to get out of the capital.
Afterwards, Luo Zisong and Xu Shu went to the tea room to make tea, while Yue Hao took Lu Yu back to the Imperial University to register.
The senior student who had been registering immediately stood up when she saw Yue Hao arrive and said respectfully:
"Hello, teacher!"
In fact, she was also a beast tamer at the spiritual transformation level. Although she couldn't compare to those monsters, she was still among the best of the sophomores and juniors.
Otherwise, the school wouldn't have assigned me to register my information here.
But neither she nor her family could compare to a Beastmaster of the Radiant Moon Rank who could become a ruler of a region!
Although Imperial Capital University has many ancient giants serving as department heads, they are rarely seen most of the time, as they are busy with their own affairs and only occasionally give lectures.
Therefore, the affairs are basically handled by teachers of the Radiant Moon rank, who wield immense power.
Yue Hao nodded slightly and said casually, "Han Qiong, please help him register for the entrance exam!"
"Okay!" Han Qiong nodded, then paused when she saw Lu Yu behind Yue Hao.
Wasn't it said that... this guy came from humble beginnings?
How come I know a powerful teacher like Yue Hao?
Despite her surprise, Han Qiong, with her excellent professional skills, quickly completed the information registration.
Because Lu Yu was wearing sunglasses and a hat, a group of people assumed he was someone with connections and secretly grumbled. Several parents even peeked at the screen, only to see...
Seeing the words "18 years old" and the "Morning Star Rank Certification" in dark blue font sent a shiver down my spine.
Another monster!
Will this year's entrance exam in Beijing be the most difficult in history?
Many test-takers, upon hearing the news, have already begun to sigh and lament. Four or five years ago, it was common to hear news of students with only mid-level silver grades successfully gaining admission to prestigious universities, but now…
It feels like even gold is less valuable than a dog!
Unless you choose archaeology!
But... what's the difference between that and preparing a coffin for yourself in advance?
Han Qiong handed the specially made bracelet to Lu Yu and instructed him:
"Junior, the information has been entered. The first stage of this entrance examination is the arena competition, which will be held at the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Arena at noon tomorrow. Remember to arrive early, or it will be very troublesome."
This bracelet is the latest product from the Mechanical King Domain. It can be used after verifying your psionic energy. It will automatically connect to the nearest alliance network and can use all the functions of a mobile phone. During the competition, data charges are waived. You can also use it to get a 90% discount at a hotel near Imperial University.
Once the competition begins, it will prompt you to go to which arena. Record this information; you'll need it later to check your credits and schedule after enrollment, so please don't lose it.
"Thank you, senior!" Lu Yu said gratefully, taking the bracelet for verification.
Yue Hao also showed him around Imperial University.
It must be said that Imperial Capital University truly lives up to its reputation as a holy land for beast tamers. The interior is even more impressive than the exterior, not because of its luxurious architecture, but because of the strong academic and competitive atmosphere.
Professional-grade battle stages can be seen everywhere, and many students are watching the matches, which are played with extremely high tactical levels.
Other than that,
According to Yue Hao, students with research talent who are not good at combat can apply for different project resources.
It's okay if you fail; you don't need to pay compensation. It's just that it will be very difficult to apply again next time, and most people only have one chance.
However, if you can produce certain results, you will receive more academic credits and resource investment. The school will also help you apply for patents and promote them to the entire alliance through the capital!
In addition, there are a large number of excellent ecological secret realms in various major regions. These are not pseudo-ecologies constructed by Lu Yu using mechanical equipment, but rather a corner of a real secret realm that was forcibly broken off, shrunk down, and placed in the school.
Credits can be redeemed for usage time.
As for the facilities further inside, only students and teachers are allowed to enter!
Lu Yu could have used Yue Hao's access privileges to go in and take a look, but Yue Hao suddenly had something to do and left first, leaving Lu Yu helpless.
After wandering around for a while, I left Imperial University!
"I finally made it to the capital, it's so boring to just stay in the hotel!"
Lu Yu pondered for a moment and immediately thought of contacting Yu Xiyan to have a meal together, and to give her the reward from last time!
However, after sending the message, Yu Xiyan replied with a smiley face, saying that she had something to do and would see him tomorrow, or perhaps in bed late at night.
Lu Yu merely sneered at this, replying that the hotel offered twin rooms to prevent any spills or messes, and that guests were welcome anytime.
Then Yu Xiyan didn't reply!
"Ha, women!"
Lu Yu muttered something to himself, then turned to the wealthy woman, the president, to try and build a relationship.
He only replied with two words.
"Something's wrong!"
Lu Yu was puzzled. Why was everyone so busy?
However, he doesn't have many friends. Luo Qingyue graduated long ago, though not from Imperial University.
"Since no one's here, I'll just wander around by myself!"
Just as Lu Yu was about to browse around, he saw an unopened message. He raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself:
"Now we have somewhere to go!"
the other side,
Wearing an apricot-colored letter-print top and a gray-green A-line skirt, revealing her long, fair legs, Yu Xiyan walked down the bustling street.
Her long, flowing hair revealed a stunning figure that couldn't be concealed by her clothes, showcasing her perfect curves and elegant demeanor, attracting many admiring glances!
Even in the capital, beauties of this caliber are rare!
Many people were tempted, but because she was followed by a burly man carrying a bag with a distorted face, no one dared to ask for her contact information.
"That wicked woman, she's really treating me like an animal!"
Qi Wei stared at Yu Xiyan's retreating figure with resentment, unable to feel a trace of beauty, only endless psychological trauma.
This woman could be bossed around, but I never expected... when we went to explore the secret realm, she took the items and left, causing him to be chased by all sorts of monsters!
I almost went to the underworld ahead of schedule several times!
Moreover, even if he wanted to sneak away halfway, he would be blamed for something else due to various accidents!
In the end, he had no choice but to obediently return and beg for mercy!
Everything was meticulously planned!
Although the speed at which one's will is strengthened between life and death is indeed fast, the process is just too painful!
It turned him from a young heartthrob into a seasoned veteran!
And it's been a long time since I've edited a video of Lu Yu!
Therefore, Qi Wei's biggest wish now is for Lu Yu to take this devil in human skin away as soon as possible.
It will allow me to live a normal life!
Just as Qi Wei was inwardly grumbling, Yu Xiyan stopped in her tracks, startling him. He thought she had guessed his thoughts and quickly explained:
"Cousin, I really didn't mean it in my mind..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Wei noticed that Yu Xiyan ignored him and took a few steps forward, looking at two sisters with white hair and red eyes, and unparalleled beauty, not far away!
"They are..." Qi Wei looked in the direction they were looking and recognized them.
Crimson Lotus and Crimson Dream!
She can be described as an unattainable beauty in the eyes of all students in Dayuan City!
Sure enough, he also came to Beijing University to take the college entrance examination!
What a coincidence that we ran into each other!
"Um?"
Akatsuki, who was looking down at her phone waiting for a message, suddenly sensed something, looked up, and met a pair of light blue eyes through the crowd.
They're looking at me with a smile!
Chi Yue Meng vs. Yu Xi Yan!
A long chapter of 6,100 words, please vote with monthly tickets. I'm having some writer's block. New plot starts tomorrow.
