Chapter 274 The Battle of Two-Time Rookie Kings! Lu the King of Pretenders is Here! The Moment of His Manifestation! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Inside Teito University.
After Lu Yu caused a ruckus in the Dark Star Domain, although he did not reappear, his influence spread further with the help of the Alliance.
It's not only a hot topic among the citizens of the alliance, but it has also become a subject of conversation for many students during their leisure time.
After all, this scandal is getting bigger and bigger.
"Do you know that this time it's not just the Star Families who are in a panic, but also many evil god cults have suffered heavy losses?"
For example, "Shoot Down the Brotherhood of Stars," one of the masterminds behind this incident, received top-tier treatment because he was a target.
The Dark Star Alliance's Grand Astrologer personally took action, using divination through the astral plane to pinpoint the location. Then, the Star Whale Legion launched an attack, annihilating seven branches and a total of 372 elites overnight, including six Morning Star Limit Priests and dozens of Morning Star Cult members, directly losing more than half of their strength.
If their leader hadn't used some special relic to shield himself from divination and found a place to hide, they would have almost become history!
Upon hearing this, the others were also astonished.
I can't help but feel sorry for this evil cult; they were just caught in the crossfire!
Another freshman wearing glasses spoke up:
"In addition, I also heard that the Alliance used some kind of detection-type secret artifact to investigate most of the cities in the Dark Star Region. As a result, they actually found four members of the Star Clan and hunted them down. In the end, three of them were seriously injured and ran away, and one self-destructed."
In addition, more than a dozen cults that were relatively active in the major regions near the Dark Starfield, including the Church of Storms, the Moon of Procreation, and the Moon Lord's Church, were all approached by the Alliance, slapped a few times, had a number of people killed, and became much more obedient.
These evil cults and dark forces are probably filled with resentment right now, secretly cursing Lu Yu and the Ye family of Star Mine.
"Cult of Evil Gods: Why did you provoke him in the first place?!"
"The league is as domineering as ever, but it does sound really cool!"
Upon hearing this, many people burst into laughter. Wang Yan, who had just transferred to the combat department, had a strange expression and hesitated to speak.
There's a follow-up to this matter.
Perhaps because Lu Yu's whereabouts were too mysterious, and his style was even more evil than theirs, the several unwilling evil god cults gathered together to discuss the matter and decided that they really couldn't afford to offend him.
But they were unwilling to swallow their anger, so they picked on the weakest target.
This led to many of the Ye family's descendants who went out to work being attacked in retaliation by the evil god cult. However, because the Ye family was still under investigation and unable to take care of themselves, Ye Huihai finally ordered them to stay at home and cultivate in seclusion, thus escaping the calamity.
In the past, the other Star Families would have certainly mocked them, or even kicked them while they were down, but now, facing the investigators from the various alliances, the smiles have shifted to other people's faces.
For example, Wang Yan's family of stars is perfectly fine!
He was already annoyed by those who made underhanded moves; the downfall of many star families involved the top families.
Lu Yu did help him vent his anger.
However, these evil cults that attacked the Ye family did not escape justice, but instead faced an even fiercer pursuit from the alliance!
The attitude is very clear:
The alliance should handle its internal affairs; it's not for others to cause trouble!
It's a pity that, being from the same family of stars, it's not appropriate to openly undermine each other, as it would easily lead to being scolded at home.
However, most of the geniuses who can enter Imperial University come from various powerful families.
The higher up the social circle, the fewer people there are, and the faster the information circulates. Even without Wang Yan speaking, the news was quickly made public.
Many freshmen in Beijing were filled with enthusiasm after hearing this!
Compared to the Human Alliance, the Cult of Evil Gods is nothing but a bunch of rats clinging to life!
There's a piece of information that's not exactly obscure: before the Alliance was established, the number of cults of evil gods was thousands of times greater than it is now.
Throughout history, countless human dynasties have emerged, some of which even colluded with evil god cults to raise humans in captivity, using the power of an entire nation to support the offspring of evil gods, resulting in the loss of countless lives and the floating corpses for thousands of miles, ultimately being destroyed by a powerful figure.
There are many similar countries; barbarity and chaos cannot describe even one-thousandth of the human race in the past!
However, after the Great Expedition, the true king discovered the potential of humanity, lobbied the kings to establish the High Council, and after unanimous approval, established the Human Alliance.
Become an affiliated organization of the Supreme Council!
The kings rarely interfere with the operation of the alliance, spending most of their time in their respective ecological kingdoms. Only matters concerning the life and death of humanity are reported by the alliance to the High Council for a vote.
They are like the helmsmen of a ship, guiding the direction of humanity's progress!
However, with the support of the kings, this alliance, which in the eyes of the ancient giants was only a thousand years old and seemed like a child, established a special department, united many righteous god sects, and wiped out countless evil god sects.
The safe living environment we enjoy today was paved with the blood and flesh of countless ancestors of humankind!
In addition, the alliance integrates resources from various domains to cultivate powerful beast tamers, bringing the overall strength of the human race to its peak and allowing them to occupy half of the world. At the same time, it uses a large number of rapidly developing technologies to spread its roots to villages and firmly control the grassroots.
Furthermore, with the help of external factors, namely the threat from countless demonic races on the other side of the Great Abyss, the internal unity was greatly enhanced.
Let the current alliance become the most powerful force humanity has ever had, bar none.
It presents a thriving and prosperous scene!
Whether the alliance will decay, decline, or reach new heights in the future, no one knows, but at least for now...
It is still developing in a positive direction.
In this spiritually distorted world, humanity shines brightly!
The alliance desires the strength of the human race more than anyone else and will not allow any one side to become dominant and monopolize the path to advancement.
Taking advantage of this, when Lu Yu handed over the knife, the Alliance's skilled hand took it and forcefully cut away a portion of the rotten flesh.
During the process, other families in the major regions were also affected, although they were not as unlucky as the Star Family.
For example, the alliance branches of several other major regions took the opportunity to allocate more undefined and controversial low- to medium-grade resources to more commoners and grassroots beast tamers, thereby strengthening their power and thus counterbalancing the aristocratic families.
As for eliminating aristocratic families?
That's unrealistic and impossible. It has nothing to do with the descendants of kings and giants. Ultimately, it's due to the inherent flaws of human nature. The dragon slayer will eventually become the dragon himself. Everything is a cycle.
Even if it were absolutely equal, it would only lead to the death of inertia, which does not conform to the law of the jungle.
Utopia, perhaps, can only be realized in the realm of great, existing ecosystems.
However, opinions on Lu Yu, who triggered this storm, are mixed within the alliance!
However, thanks to the moral high ground established by Starmine City, most people maintained a friendly attitude.
Especially within the capital city, the will of these new geniuses has not yet decayed, even though many of them come from large beast-taming families.
But aside from a few star families who suffered misfortune, most people held him in high regard, and...
Surpass him!
Which of those who can get into Imperial University isn't an arrogant genius?
So what if Lu Yu is a prodigy?
Historically, there have been examples of individuals who surpassed the strongest geniuses of their time and ultimately became true kings!
The one who laughs last laughs best!
"That kid Lu Yu, he really can't stay still," Mao Guixian said leisurely, her arms crossed to accentuate her figure.
The other teachers listened to the students' discussion with mixed expressions.
Li Shu sighed, "I've heard that in several major regions near the Dark Star Domain, the security and development environment have improved considerably. Many ordinary people regard him as a hero. At least he didn't use the name of Imperial University to bully men and women, which is quite good!"
"Your moral standards for Lu Yu are way too low," Xiao Ling rolled her eyes and complained. "Compared to that, those families would rather Lu Yu bully men and women, so he can inherit the bloodline of the ancient king. Even if he can't awaken it, it will still add to the family's foundation."
"Now it's probably too little!" Shang Yuguang shook his head and sneered, "After all, some smart people are already scared. They think he will inevitably be set up as a benchmark by the alliance, which is tantamount to cutting himself off from the major families and top forces."
As soon as he finished speaking, several teachers sighed.
The main problem is that Lu Yu's methods are too reckless. Although they seem very passionate, the adult world is not black and white, but rather a delicate gray.
This tendency to self-destruct at the drop of a hat constitutes an unstable factor.
This has crossed a line for some people!
After all, sometimes stability is more important than excellence!
Moreover, apart from the wilderness and unexplored secret realms, more than half of the top-tier secret realms and resources are controlled by major forces, and even alliances have to pay a price to use them.
Of course, there are similar top-tier resources within the alliance, but they may not necessarily match the attributes that Lu Yu needs.
As for killing all the way?
Putting aside the fact that they have a stronger foundation and greater strength, the league will not allow anyone to start this trend!
Once order is broken, it is very difficult to repair.
Unless Lu Yu becomes the true king...
At that point, all his actions will no longer be considered violations of the rules, but rather a rectification of wrongs.
It is absolute justice!
Everyone has to watch his face!
The only mistake he made was that he wasn't strong enough!
The teachers were mainly worried that once the top star families recovered, they would also try to retaliate.
It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark!
"But someone always has to stand up and illuminate the darkness, right? As teachers, all we need to do is silently support him!" Yue Hao, dressed like a beast in human clothing, pushed up his newly bought silver-rimmed glasses, looking calm.
He wasn't worried about Lu Yu, after all, that guy...
They're incredibly resilient!
"That's true. If he can be firmly tied to the league or Imperial University, it wouldn't be a bad thing!"
The teachers burst into laughter, but there was something else they didn't say.
Beneath the feet of eternal giants, all are but ants!
Countless brilliant geniuses of their time have been stumped by this threshold, ultimately turning into nothing more than skeletons!
Lu Yu, however, hasn't even reached the Radiant Moon Rank yet.
But in the Mother River, anything can happen.
If you're unlucky enough to encounter a powerful aberration, even a true prince's offspring could be doomed.
But all they can do now is hope that Lu Yu will continue his triumphant advance!
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. But Lu Yu probably won't make it to this year's new and old students' sparring session, right?" Shang Yuguang cut off the conversation, his expression serious, but his voice was a little softer.
Imperial Capital University has a tradition where, half a month after freshmen enroll, senior students from the following year will provide them with match guidance based on their rankings.
The winner will receive academic credits!
This is how universities allow freshmen to gain experience in battling powerful geniuses.
If they choose to enter the border battlefield after graduation, they will no longer face ordinary beast tamers, but geniuses from various monster races.
Wherever they are, they don't abide by the rules of the arena, their level of skill is higher, and they possess all sorts of strange abilities.
When the battlefield of geniuses was first opened, a large number of beast tamers were buried on the green hills of the border battlefield due to insufficient combat experience.
Although the opposing races were changed quite a bit, it made Imperial University learn from its mistakes and thus this tradition was born. The senior students were naturally happy to do so, as they could earn credits and vent their anger at being beaten by the previous year on the freshmen, euphemistically calling it "experience".
It's like the joy of eating watermelon in front of you during freshman military training!
Having already been caught in the rain, they were going to break the umbrellas of the freshmen and let them get soaked to the bone!
"It seems we won't make it!"
"This competition should be able to end peacefully!"
"But it's definitely a bit boring without that kid!"
"Should you go and call him back?"
"Never mind then!"
Several faculty members, including Yue Hao and Xiao Ling, nodded in agreement. The reason they approved Lu Yu's leave request so readily was that they were afraid that if this kid could make the freshmen withdrawn, he would also make the upperclassmen withdrawn.
Although the rankings were based on the strength of second-year students, the freshmen were given one-on-one challenges.
Given Lu Yu's personality... he might just say that everyone here is trash and then take on the whole audience by himself!
If we win, that's fine, but if we lose, it'll be too embarrassing!
"Speaking of which, the previous Rookie King was a formidable character. I remember he was already at the Morning Star limit half a year ago, and his core pet had honed one skill to the [Peak] level, while most of his other skills had reached the perfect level."
"He's probably even stronger now, with pseudo-Radiant Moon level combat power. If Lu Yu were to encounter him, he'd likely have a headache." Shang Yuguang said worriedly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
The other teachers sneered; although their analysis was quite good, none of them responded.
Because that guy... is also a combat-type!
This left Shang Yuguang feeling quite regretful; people's hearts have changed, and no one knows how to help out or be a straight man anymore.
Next, the freshman and senior student arena competition began. A large number of referees took their positions, and battle arenas and rune-inscribed light screens were raised in the original battle hall.
The battle proceeded smoothly!
Unfortunately, facing senior students who had accumulated a year's worth of experience, most freshmen struggled to compete and were quickly defeated!
After five hundred men, almost the entire army was wiped out!
However, the higher the ranking, the higher the newcomer's win rate actually begins to increase.
At least two or three out of a hundred will win!
Qi Wei, in particular, has been tormented by his cousin for the past two days, and although it's painful, his command skills have improved rapidly.
The mere senior student is no match for even a fraction of Yu Xiyan's dominance; there's absolutely no pressure on him!
So while directing the operation, Qi Wei also registered more than a hundred alternate accounts to act as online trolls, promoting his edited videos of Lu Yu and attracting a considerable number of fans.
In the middle of the match, he also argued with some idiots who were on the side of capitalists and aristocratic families for more than a thousand posts. Then, the Purple Gold Armored Baboon seized the opponent's weakness and used a ground-shattering punch to knock him out of the arena and win the victory.
I felt incredibly refreshed!
Go back and edit out Lu Yu's different perspectives, then make a photo album and sell it!
For players ranked 300 or above, the win rate dropped from 2-3 percent to 10 percent, while for those ranked 100 or above, the win rate dropped to 30 percent.
However, once you get to the top ten, the situation completely reverses!
Yu Xiyan ranked second among the freshmen upon enrollment and easily defeated a sophomore with the same ranking, thanks to her near-omniscient tactical skills.
Seeing her distraught opponent, Yu Xiyan smiled gently and comforted her:
"It's alright, your tactical skills are excellent!"
After all, she had simulated 10,000 matches against her opponent beforehand and lost 30 of them!
Although 29 of those instances involved a deep mutation of the aberration, resulting in the aberration directly devouring its opponent and leading to imprisonment...
But that's not the key point. In numerous battle simulations, she has complete control over her opponent's every move, every thought, fighting style, and even what they say and what skills they use.
However, this ability is not useful to everyone.
For example, Tong Ye and Chi Yue Meng are protected by powerful forces, making it difficult to deduce their abilities. We can only deduce their abilities by working backward from countless simulated futures and by using a wealth of information.
However, errors may occur!
As for Lu Yu...
Yu Xiyan could no longer foresee his fate in the peach blossom forest, on the very day he made a contract with a pet beast.
All timelines disappeared, and he could not be seen in the other timelines either. If it weren't for the traces left behind, it would be as if he had never existed.
Only the self in the main world can see Lu Yu with their own eyes!
I know he's still alive!
Thinking of this, she looked at her "love rival" Akatsuki Meng. Her attire was similar to usual, except that she had replaced her white knee-high stockings with black stockings to speed up her attacks. Coupled with her aloof temperament and stunning beauty, she became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
Her tyrannical, dead-eyed form faces off against a second-year college student who wields multiple elemental spirits.
then……
The opponent couldn't even break through the anti-magic field and had no choice but to admit defeat!
However, after the referee announced the result, Chi Yue Meng showed no joy of victory. Her crimson eyes simply swept across the crowd, but she still couldn't see Lu Yu's figure, and her eyes dimmed slightly.
It's been several days... since Lu Yu's energy was replenished!
The love potion is about to expire!
"What bad luck!"
After a fierce battle, Crimson Lotus barely managed to defeat her opponent, almost suffering a defeat. It wasn't due to a lack of strength, but rather because she was somewhat distracted throughout the fight.
As the day of exploring the Heavenly Phoenix Nest drew closer, her dreams became increasingly strange. Yesterday, she even appeared in her sister's room and changed into her sister's clothes.
go on like this,
Then I'll really have to give my best friend a good whack!
Tong Ye and Mu Mu also participated in the battle. One relied on the Law Seed to suppress the opponent, while the other evolved into the Spirit Erosion Form of the Soul-Hooking Centipede and defeated the opponent with great force.
Of the top ten, apart from Lu Yu being absent and Hao Da from the Douwang Domain being defeated due to his attribute being countered by the soul type, they basically all won.
They didn't see Lu Yu either, and they were all a little disappointed.
However, even more disappointed than them was a burly young man standing on the number one stage.
And he was the previous year's Rookie of the Year.
Shao Mingchuan!
Born into the Shao family of the capital, one of the top giant families, she was pampered from a young age and controlled top-tier resources and pets.
In the previous year, he swept aside all his opponents with absolute strength to win the championship and remained at the top of the list throughout his freshman year.
If he goes all out, he can already defeat an ordinary fake Moonlit Blade!
In my sophomore year, I had almost no rivals.
The top geniuses in their junior and senior years have basically completed their courses on their own and mostly focus on practical application, traveling all over the league.
Even among them, only a handful could defeat him!
Most of them are on the border battlefield or in ruins, and you can't see them at all.
So he hasn't been serious for a long time!
Standing at too high a place can also be a kind of loneliness.
Lu Yu is the only opponent he's been interested in lately.
Based on the level demonstrated in these videos, they should possess combat power at the peak of Morning Star and approaching that of Pseudo-Moon!
I can barely stand against him!
So he prepared to test Lu Yu's abilities in today's senior student mentoring match.
It would be best to let him fight with all his might.
But to my surprise, this guy didn't show up at all!
"Are they held up by matters in the Dark Star Region? Or are they afraid of breaking their invincible status and simply dare not come?"
Shao Mingchuan didn't know, but he didn't take it to heart.
It's okay for Lu Yu to secretly improve his strength, because when he advances to the Pseudo-Radiant Moon rank, or even the Radiant Moon rank, he will experience a qualitative change!
So in that case...
For a very long time to come, Lu Yu will not be qualified to be his opponent!
He has no interest in bullying the weak!
Only the strong can be hunted by him!
"Forget it, let's just say he's being held back. He's not a complete waste, being able to carry the title of Rookie King and challenge the Star Family."
Just as Shao Mingchuan closed his eyes, preparing to leave after the referee announced the end of the match.
However, at this moment, he heard gasps of surprise rising and falling throughout the arena. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a handsome young man appear on the stage.
Dressed in all black with a chibi-style family portrait print on the front, similar to before, but with the addition of a white little knight with a stern face, looking adorable.
On his shoulder stood a half-human, half-spider girl wearing a black blindfold.
Who else could it be but Lu Yu?
Lu Yu looked at Shao Mingchuan and greeted him warmly:
"Good afternoon, senior! I was worried all the way here that I might be late and lose credits, but thankfully I made it!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's first thought was...
That's it, that's the taste!
They considered the victory points as their own!
As wild as ever!
"That little rascal... he really won't lose a single penny!" Mao Guixian rolled her eyes.
The other teachers also shook their heads. Although they complained about Lu Yu's ability to cause trouble, their bodies betrayed their anticipation for the upcoming battle.
Who will emerge victorious in this battle of two Rookie of the Year awards?
Shao Mingchuan looked at Lu Yu and said with a smile:
"I thought you weren't coming?"
"Why?" Lu Yu asked, playing the straight man at the opportune moment.
"After all, many people fear me, afraid that I will shatter their undefeated legend, but..."
Looking at Lu Yu, Shao Mingchuan showed more satisfaction and praised him:
"You are just like me a year ago, equally arrogant and equally powerful, but now I can crush my former self."
While seemingly talking about himself, the subtext is that he hopes Lu Yu won't be too weak.
It would be very boring to be easily crushed by him.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu remained silent for a moment, then, feeling a pang of pity, said:
"Senior, is it possible... that whether it's the you of the past or the you of the present, actually..."
"They're all very weak!"
PS: This is a long chapter of 6200 words. I'll be asking for double votes at the end of the month. I'm feeling a bit dizzy today, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't know if it's because I caught a cold. Please take care of yourselves, everyone. Happy belated Mid-Autumn Festival, and thank you all for your support.
