Sword Points to Heaven's Fight

A year passed quietly.

Xiao Wu successfully broke through to become a Soul Elder within this year, and Zhu Zhuqing also reaped considerable rewards. Her cultivation not only reached level 29, but she also comprehended her self-created soul skill, "Netherworld Instant Shadow Kill"!

Lu Chen also surpassed Lu Jinnian in Soul Power Level, reaching level 45, and instantly became the strongest in Nuoding Academy!

Nuoding Academy Dean's Office.

Lu Jinnian took out three recommendation letters.

He handed them to Lu Chen, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing in front of him and said, "I have some connections with Meng Shenji, the chief of the Committee at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I've already explained your situation to him. Take these letters to him, and you can enroll in Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Lu Jinnian then glanced at Lu Chen with a hint of meaning and said, "Absolutely do not reveal your Innate Soul Power Level!"

Lu Chen nodded. Once his Innate Level 20 Soul Power was exposed, the secret of his God Tier Martial Soul could no longer be hidden, and who knew how many would covet it then!

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing beside them were completely confused.

They understood every word, but when put together into a sentence, they couldn't comprehend it.

When seeing the three off at the academy entrance, Lu Jinnian looked at Lu Chen, who was about to get into the carriage, and carefully instructed:

"Chen'er, you must protect Xiao Wu and Zhuqing when you're outside."

"Grandfather, don't worry!" Lu Chen said before turning around and getting into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Wu was leaning out the window, looking at the familiar Nuoding Academy, her eyes slightly reddening;

Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, her eyes also showed her reluctance to leave Nuoding Academy.

Lu Chen looked at the two of them and said, "It's not like we're not coming back? When our travels are over, we'll live in seclusion at Nuoding Academy!"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Really?"

Zhu Zhuqing also looked up, a rare hint of expectation appearing in her chilly beautiful eyes.

Lu Chen smiled, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Xiao Wu instantly became cheerful, clapping her small hands, "Then our first stop! Challenge Shrek Academy!"

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, looking at Xiao Wu and Lu Chen in surprise. The original plan was for Lu Chen and Xiao Wu to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy first, while she would go to Shrek to settle things with Dai Mubai.

Lu Chen glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Since you want to make a clean break with the past, Xiao Wu and I naturally can't be absent!"

He paused and added, "Balak Kingdom borders Fasno Province. We'll handle your matter first, then go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. There's plenty of time."

"Thank..."

Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish, Xiao Wu had already pounced on her, saying, "Thank what! We're friends, your business is my business!"

Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly because as Xiao Wu said this, her small hand had already wandered to her waist.

Xiao Wu's figure had begun to develop. Although her chest wasn't full, her round little perky buttocks already had a certain allure. Especially her slender waist, which was impossibly thin, even Zhu Zhuqing envied it.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was a year younger than Xiao Wu, her figure was even more voluptuous than last year, forming a strong contrast with her usually chilly demeanor.

Zhu Zhuqing was helpless against Xiao Wu's clinginess, and the two of them made a scene in the carriage.

"Zhuqing, your place is so big, doesn't it get tired?"

Xiao Wu suddenly leaned closer, her big eyes asking a question that made even Lu Chen a little curious.

Zhu Zhuqing's body felt strange, and she trembled violently, exclaiming, "Xiao Wu, no! Lu Chen is still here!"

Zhu Zhuqing's face had turned completely red. Lu Chen pulled Xiao Wu back to her seat and said, "Xiao Wu! Don't corrupt Zhuqing!"

He was genuinely afraid that the Hundred Thousand Year "Rogue Rabbit" would completely shatter Zhu Zhuqing's cool persona.

Xiao Wu playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "Who told Zhuqing to always act so cold."

Zhu Zhuqing's face was full of shyness, burying her head in her chest, her ear roots completely flushed red.

Although she and Xiao Wu often played like this, this was the first time she had lost her composure in front of Lu Chen.

The atmosphere in the carriage, however, became livelier due to this interlude.

A day later, Lu Chen, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at Suotuo City, the center of the most prosperous Limal Plain within the Balak Kingdom, known as the granary of Barak.

Under Xiao Wu's curiosity, the three entered a very unique hotel.

The hotel was three stories high. Although its scale wasn't very large, its exterior was completely decorated in rose red. The architectural style of the entire hotel was also like a giant rose flower, easily giving people a refreshing feeling.

Lu Chen and Zhu Zhuqing naturally knew what kind of place this was and were about to suggest to Xiao Wu not to stay here, but she had already walked in.

The two could only follow Xiao Wu helplessly into this so-called "Rose Hotel"!

Upon entering the hotel, the first sensation was a burst of rose fragrance, a refreshing aroma with a hint of ambiguity, making one feel relaxed and comfortable.

A trace of unnaturalness appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face.

The interior of the hotel had only three colors: white, silver, and rose red. The warm, unique, and elegant environment easily gave people a good impression.

Xiao Wu walked to the counter, "Please get us three rooms."

The waiter behind the counter quickly stood up, looked past Xiao Wu at Lu Chen behind her, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, "Sir, are you really sure you want three rooms?"

Before Lu Chen could speak, Xiao Wu said, "Is there a problem?"

A hint of ambiguity appeared in the waiter's eyes, "Sorry, we only have one room left."

"But don't worry, our rooms are very spacious and fully equipped, more than enough for three people."

After speaking, he also gave Lu Chen a look that could only be understood, not spoken.

Lu Chen immediately felt a headache. How he wished he could not understand the waiter's hint!

Just as Zhu Zhuqing and Lu Chen were about to persuade Xiao Wu to change hotels, a cold voice came from behind them: "I say, this room should belong to me, right?"

Lu Chen turned his head and saw three people appear behind them, walking towards the counter.

These three people were one man and two women. A pair of twins, flamboyant, looking about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and slender.

Between the twins was a man with blonde hair and dual pupils in his eyes.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing saw Dai Mubai, a surge of rage filled her heart. The last shred of hope she had for Dai Mubai was completely annihilated!

This was her fiancé? He was nothing but a disgusting coward!

Lu Chen felt the change in Zhu Zhuqing's emotions. He reached out and grasped her hand, saying lightly, "Let me help you vent your anger!"

Dai Mubai, with one woman on each arm, walked to the counter. His evil gaze swept over Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, and he said in surprise, "Yo! I didn't expect you kid to know how to enjoy yourself so much!"

The twins, the moment they saw Lu Chen, seemed to have pink light appear in their eyes. Compared to Dai Mubai, their gaze towards Dai Mubai held a hint of disdain.
