After a round of testing, everyone passed. There was nothing particularly earth-shattering about it; after all, the crystal ball only lit up and did not announce the tester's strength.
"Congratulations on passing the test. Now, please wait outside for half an hour!" Luo Bu said to the group with a smile.
"Luo Bu! What do you mean by that?!" Xiao Yu's expression immediately turned cold as she looked at Luo Bu.
"Xiao Yu, you're an old student too. You should know this is part of the admission rules. New students these days are getting more and more impatient, so taking the edge off their arrogance during admission will benefit their future lives at the academy," Luo Bu said with a smile.
"I wouldn't care if you used those rules on ignorant freshmen, but don't you dare use them on the people I brought!" Xiao Yu said coldly. This guy was so detestable precisely because of things like this.
Yet this idiot was completely oblivious, still acting like he was some big shot...
"Luo Bu, stop making trouble here. You know perfectly well that these rules are optional at best. Why make such a fuss over it?" The female students nearby who thought highly of Yun Shu, Xiao Yan, and the others began speaking up for them.
This was a crucial chance to build goodwill. Luo Bu was so hated because he did not understand that and loved putting on airs.
"Hehe! Sorry, but they passed the test under my supervision. According to the rules, I should be temporarily in charge of them!" Seeing that Xiao Yu and the others truly refused to give him any face, Luo Bu directly invoked the rules with a chuckle.
Seeing Xiao Yu about to lose her temper, Luo Bu changed his tone and was just about to say something when Yun Shu interrupted him.
"According to the rules... Are these Canaan Academy's rules, or your rules? Or can you represent Canaan Academy and make rules?" Yun Shu had long found this guy unpleasant. Before Luo Bu could make trouble, Yun Shu spoke first.
As soon as those words came out, Luo Bu's face darkened. It was one thing for Xiao Yu not to give him face—after all, he liked her—but for a freshman who had not even enrolled yet to so blatantly disregard his dignity as a senior was more than he could bear.
"Well, well! Brother Luo Bu, it seems you've run into a bit of trouble here!" Just then, another nauseating voice suddenly rang out, and another group of men poured out from the tent.
"It's nothing. These freshmen simply don't want to stay outside in the sun," Luo Bu said, putting away his gloomy expression when he saw reinforcements arrive.
"Heh! It's been a long time since I've seen freshmen this arrogant. Brother Luo Bu, do you need our help?" A One-Star Dou Zhe asked Luo Bu in a fawning manner.
"How about this? They don't have to go outside if they don't want to. But there are so many new students watching outside. If only these few are exempted from standing in the sun, the others might feel unhappy about it..."
"Since you don't want to go outside, why not choose a representative to spar with Ge Ci? I think this little brother would do nicely. You don't need to defeat Ge Ci—just last twenty moves against him!" Luo Bu said with a fake smile as he selected Yun Shu from the crowd.
The moment Luo Bu finished speaking, the women beside Xiao Yu began berating him. Anyone with half a brain could see that Luo Bu was jealous of Yun Shu and intended to abuse his position for personal revenge.
"Luo Bu! Have you no shame? You're actually abusing your position to settle a personal grudge!" The girls' words darkened Luo Bu's expression again, but he did not refute them. Instead, he looked at Yun Shu and said, "If you don't dare, then there's no need to step up. After all, you're only a freshman who just enrolled. It's perfectly normal if you can't beat Ge Ci!"
Hearing Luo Bu's provocation, the members of the Xiao Family who knew Yun Shu's strength looked at one another, then burst into laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHA—hic~"
Having Yun Shu, a Three-Star Dou Shi, fight a One-Star Dou Zhe was already bullying him, yet Luo Bu actually said Yun Shu could not beat Ge Ci...
Even Yun Shu could not hold it in for a moment, though he covered his mouth. He might not have received professional training, but his self-control was still pretty good...
Luo Bu was left somewhat bewildered by the scene. But judging by their reactions, it seemed Yun Shu intended to accept.
Yun Shu waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop laughing. He had not intended to play the pig to eat the tiger, but Luo Bu had practically delivered his ugly face to him on a platter. If Yun Shu did not indulge him now, he would be letting him down.
"Let's be clear first. Whatever happens in this fight, I won't be responsible," Yun Shu said flatly.
"It's fine, junior. I'll go easy on you!" Ge Ci said directly, still not realizing what was wrong with Yun Shu's words.
"Enough. Make your move," Yun Shu said with a wave of his hand.
"Junior, you should make the first move. If you can't even take my first attack, wouldn't that be very awkward?" Luo Bu said kindly to Yun Shu.
"Are you sure?" Yun Shu raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised.
"Make your move, junior!" Ge Ci spoke up as well.
"Fine..." Yun Shu sighed and shook his head.
The next moment, Yun Shu shot out his right hand like lightning toward Ge Ci. Immediately afterward, an immensely powerful suction force erupted from his hand. It seemed specifically targeted at Ge Ci; before Ge Ci could react, he was dragged and pulled straight into Yun Shu's grasp.
Yun Shu seized Ge Ci by the throat and, smiling pleasantly, lifted his entire body into the air.
The entire place fell silent!!
Aside from those who knew Yun Shu's strength, everyone stared in disbelief at Ge Ci struggling desperately in Yun Shu's hand and at Yun Shu holding him aloft.
"Th-This! How is this possible?!" Luo Bu's expression changed dramatically as he stared at Yun Shu.
"Just what level is this guy at?! He actually defeated Ge Ci in an instant with a single lightning-fast strike!!"
"Yu'er! What level is this cousin of the master you mentioned?!"
The girls, Xue Ni, and even Xiao Yu herself all stared blankly at Yun Shu, who still wore a smile.
"Little Shu is already in the Dou Shi Realm. It seems these senior brothers have overestimated themselves a little!" Xun Er's crisp, sweet voice rang in everyone's ears.
Only then did everyone realize just how terrifying Yun Shu was. As for Luo Bu, upon hearing that Yun Shu possessed the strength of the Dou Shi Realm, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, shit, piss, and tears all streaming out at once, nauseating everyone.
"Let's go, let's go! This is ruining the mood!" After releasing Ge Ci's throat, Yun Shu fanned the air in front of his nose and said with disgust.
"Hehe! This little fellow is actually so terrifyingly strong. Looks like I've found a treasure this time~"
