Blood Sword Wu Hao

"Yunxiao, are you used to living with others?" Mentor Ruolin asked softly as she looked at Lu Yunxiao standing beside her.

"Mentor Ruolin, are there no private rooms?" Lu Yunxiao paused slightly before asking calmly.

Given a choice, he naturally preferred living alone. After all, how could living with several people be as comfortable as living by himself?

Moreover, Mentor Ruolin had previously revealed that students with A-grade talent or above were qualified to choose to live alone. This was the academy's special treatment for geniuses.

"There are, but..." Mentor Ruolin hesitated.

"But what?" Lu Yunxiao asked calmly.

"But there are quite a few A-grade students this year. There were originally some rooms left, but after they made their choices, only one private dormitory remained. The person living next to that dorm is somewhat cold and ruthless. I'm afraid the two of you won't get along."

Mentor Ruolin said gently.

"Oh? Who is this person?" Lu Yunxiao became interested and could not help asking.

"His name is Wu Hao. He's a local student from the Black Corner Region, and the killing aura around him is rather heavy. Since he uses a Blood-Colored Heavy Sword, the students gave him the nickname Blood Sword. They call him Blood Sword Wu Hao."

"Blood Sword Wu Hao?" Lu Yunxiao's eyes brightened slightly. He knew that name well.

In the current Jia Nan Academy Outer Court, aside from himself, the most talented person should be the Little Demoness, Hu Jia. Though Wu Hao's talent was slightly inferior to Hu Jia's, his future achievements would by no means be inferior to hers, and might even surpass them slightly.

This was a man who truly dared to fight and risk his life. Though his killing intent was heavy, he was loyal, admired the strong, and could be considered open and upright.

Lu Yunxiao still admired people like that.

As for his usual arrogance and coldness, which caused many students to keep their distance from him, that was perfectly normal.

Although Jia Nan Academy had many students, and each could be considered a genius in their own area, in Lu Yunxiao's eyes, most of them were actually mediocre.

The mediocre and geniuses had never walked the same path, nor could they understand a genius's thoughts. Though Wu Hao and Hu Jia could not compare to those people from the Eight Ancient Clans who relied on their bloodlines like cheats, they still counted as true geniuses. Even in the Central Continent, they would not be considered lacking.

So far, they were also the only two people in the Outer Court worthy of catching Lu Yunxiao's eye.

As for the other students, their strength might not be bad, but it had been built up through time and age. It was nothing remarkable, and their potential for growth was limited.

So after hearing Mentor Ruolin's words, he became even more interested.

"Mentor Ruolin, arrange it there. I still prefer living alone," Lu Yunxiao said calmly.

"But Wu Hao..."

"Don't worry. I can handle it. Besides, don't you know my strength? Even if we really have a conflict and end up fighting, I won't be the one at a disadvantage." Lu Yunxiao smiled lightly.

"That's true. Although Wu Hao has reached the Nine-Star Dou Practitioner level, if you fought, you would definitely win."

Mentor Ruolin smiled slightly. "Then I'll make the arrangements for you."

"Alright, then thank you, Mentor Ruolin," Lu Yunxiao said warmly.

"No need!" Mentor Ruolin smiled gently, then spoke with the academy teachers and arranged Lu Yunxiao's lodging.

Zhenwu Garden, where Lu Yunxiao's dormitory was located.

The dormitories here were all single rooms, and the environment was quite good. Everyone living here had scored A-grade or above in the entrance test.

Looking across the entire Jia Nan Academy Outer Court, fewer than a hundred recruits each year achieved A-grade in the entrance test. Thus, those living here could be said to be Jia Nan Academy's true top students.

Zhenwu Garden was divided into two sides. The girls' dormitories were on the right, while the boys' dormitories were on the left.

Naturally, Lu Yunxiao did not know the way. The one responsible for leading him was Zhang Yuan, the Senior Brother whom Lu Yunxiao had once defeated with a single punch.

"This is it, Junior Brother Yunxiao. This is your dormitory."

The two stopped in front of a dormitory door, and Zhang Yuan looked at Lu Yunxiao as he spoke.

"Room 302!" Lu Yunxiao murmured as he looked at the number on the door.

"Junior Brother Yunxiao, settle in here first. Someone will bring your bedding over later. Oh, right, you new students have two days off to rest and get settled. Classes won't officially begin until the day after tomorrow. Your classroom is Room Two on the third floor of Minghong Building. Here's an academy map. If you don't know the way then, just follow the directions on the map."

As Zhang Yuan spoke, he took out a map and handed it to Lu Yunxiao.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Lu Yunxiao thanked him and accepted the map.

"No need, it's what I should do. Then I'll take my leave." Zhang Yuan cupped his hands and prepared to depart.

"Take care, Senior Brother." Lu Yunxiao waved his hand and spoke calmly.

Watching Zhang Yuan leave, Lu Yunxiao took out his key and prepared to open the door.

Just then, the door to the neighboring dormitory suddenly opened, and a figure stepped out.

Lu Yunxiao turned his head slightly, and the figure turned around as well. Their gazes immediately met directly in midair.

It was a cold gaze, with killing intent exposed in its depths and a faint trace of ruthlessness.

Lu Yunxiao's gaze was quite calm, but beneath that calmness lay a razor-sharp edge.

The two stared at each other, and the air seemed to grow tense for a moment.

"Blood Sword Wu Hao?" Lu Yunxiao spoke softly, his gaze flickering slightly as he asked in an even tone.

"Who are you?" Wu Hao's expression did not change as he asked coldly.

With just one exchange of glances, he knew that the person before him was no ordinary fighter, an opponent worthy of battle. His heart stirred slightly.

"Just an unknown nobody. You can call me Lu Yunxiao." Lu Yunxiao smiled and replied casually.

"You're Lu Yunxiao?" Wu Hao raised his brows. The interest in his eyes deepened, and even the cold aura around him rose noticeably.

"You know me?" Lu Yunxiao was somewhat surprised. He had only entered the academy today. Why did Wu Hao seem to know of him?

"No, but I do now. I heard you're very strong?" Wu Hao's eyes shifted slightly, a sharp gleam surging within them. What he loved most was fighting strong people.

"No, no. My strength is actually quite ordinary," Lu Yunxiao said modestly.

"No, you're not ordinary. You're very far from ordinary." Wu Hao shook his head, light flowing through his eyes. "Will you fight me when there's a chance?"

Having sensed Lu Yunxiao's extraordinary nature from so close, the battle intent in his heart had already risen.

"That would be fine." Lu Yunxiao did not refuse. He would be more than happy to spar.

"Good!" Wu Hao nodded, and a faint trace of excitement flashed across his cold face. "By the way, let me give you a friendly warning."

After closing his door and passing by Lu Yunxiao, Wu Hao suddenly spoke.

"What?" Lu Yunxiao asked calmly.

"You'd better be more careful. You've already become famous in the academy. I'm afraid you won't lack trouble."

Wu Hao spoke those cold words, then strode away without another glance.
