Douluo: Starting Out by Roasting the Grandmaster

Its cultivation speed was roughly one-tenth that of the Heaven Origin Technique.

After trying it, Lu Fei had clearly noticed the issue, but he was sensible enough not to ask too many questions.

He even quietly forced down the excitement in his heart.

At the same time, Lu Yu's image in his mind grew even taller, gaining several more layers of mystery.

They had clearly grown up together, so why did Lu Yu know so much? Other than going to the Back Mountain, he had never seen him leave the village.

Where had he gotten these cultivation techniques, sword techniques, movement techniques, and all that?

But no matter what, this was a good thing.

Since Lu Yu did not say anything, he could not be bothered to ask. He just needed to learn obediently.

Since it was the first day of school, the academy had not arranged many classes. After teaching them the breathing technique, the day's lessons came to an end.

"Brother Yu, want to go to the cafeteria together?"

The moment the teacher left, Wang Sheng and the others gathered around them.

Lu Yu nodded.

As the saying went, people were made of iron, and food was made of steel. Skip a meal, and hunger struck hard.

They still had to eat.

There was no need to mention Xiao Wu. Like a little tagalong, wherever Lu Yu went, she went.

There was nothing she could do. She had no money.

Lu Yu did not mind. Without investment, how could there be returns?

This was a blue-chip stock guaranteed to rise.

"Well, well, if it isn't Wang Sheng and his bunch of poor ghosts?" The moment they entered the cafeteria, a sarcastic voice reached Lu Yu and the others.

Lu Yu found it rather depressing.

Wasn't this supposed to be yesterday's plot?

What, could the plot be put on hold if the protagonist was not around?

Looking toward the source of the voice, he indeed saw a group of arrogant rich kids on the stairs between the first and second floors.

Wang Sheng and the others said nothing, all turning to look at Lu Yu. After all, he was now the boss of Dorm Seven. Naturally, the boss had to handle this sort of thing.

Glancing up at the rich kids, Lu Yu looked at Lu Fei. "Xiao Fei, I don't like talking to people while looking up at them."

Lu Yu was not particularly interested in children's squabbles, but he could still get acquainted with the noble students led by Xiao Chenyu.

First, there was the work-study students' labor.

He did not have time to waste on that. He would rather spend it cultivating.

Then there was the Soul Hunting Forest.

That was not a place commoners could enter. To go there, one needed recommendations from at least three nobles, then had to visit Spirit Hall to obtain a permit.

At the moment, the only nobles Lu Yu could get in touch with were these rich kids from the academy. He would inevitably need their help later.

So, to make things more convenient in the future, he might as well beat them into submission first.

They had to fight sooner or later anyway.

"Alright, Brother Yu. Just watch." The moment he heard there was going to be a fight, Lu Fei instantly became excited. He still had not vented all the frustration he had bottled up yesterday.

Wang Sheng and the others became excited as well. They had been bullied by Xiao Chenyu and his group for far too long. Someone could finally deal with them.

"Hahaha... I'm dying. Did you hear what he said? He doesn't like talking to people while looking up at them? Hahaha..." Lu Yu's words drew unrestrained mockery from the other side.

After saying that, the boy looked at Wang Sheng again. "Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng, it's not like I want to criticize you, but you're such a big guy, yet you need a little brat to stand up for you. Aren't you ashamed?"

Yet Wang Sheng did not even bother responding. Instead, he looked at him with a hint of pity.

Keep jumping. Go on and keep jumping.

The more gleefully you jumped now, the more pathetic you would look later.

Lu Fei could not stand it anymore and charged out in an instant.

Although he had not brought his sword, Lu Fei's strength was still not something a few rich kids could compare to. Besides, they had not been on guard at all.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before they could react, Lu Fei had already kicked them down the stairs. One after another, they tumbled down the steps and ended up sprawled on the floor.

They could not have looked more miserable.

"You little bastard, you're courting death!"

The leader came to his senses, immediately got to his feet, and rushed at Lu Fei with fury written all over his face.

"Stop!"

Just as Lu Fei was about to teach him a proper lesson, a teacher suddenly rushed over, startling both him and the other boy out of continuing.

The teacher strode over and angrily rebuked them, "What are you trying to do? Start a rebellion? Fighting on the first day of school? You don't want to study here anymore?"

"Teacher, please don't be angry." Lu Yu hurried forward. "We were just messing around. Seniors, you agree... right?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu looked toward the rich kids.

"Right, right, right..."

They nodded repeatedly.

They feared neither heaven nor earth, but they feared having their parents called in.

Their fathers' belts were terrifying.

"I don't care whether you were messing around or doing something else. This is the first time, and it will be the last. If I see it again, you'll suffer the consequences."

After warning them, the teacher's gaze swept over everyone one by one. No one dared meet his eyes, except Lu Yu, who looked completely unfazed.

Then, the teacher lectured them for a while longer before finally leaving.

"You little brats, just wait."

After saying that, the leader of the rich kids turned to leave.

"Wait a moment..."

"Brother Yu..."

Wang Sheng and the others immediately grew anxious. They had just been lectured, and he was already continuing? This would not be as simple as calling in their parents.

Lu Yu gave them a reassuring look.

The group of rich kids turned back as well, looking at him with hostility.

Their leader said coldly, "Little brat, if you want to play, I'll accompany you anytime. But I don't have the mood to play with you right now."

Lu Yu said calmly, "No need to wait. We're all busy. Let's settle today's business today. After lunch, meet us in the small woods behind the Back Mountain."

This Is Way Too Weak

"Good, kid. You've got guts. We'll wait for you in the woods later. Don't you dare not show up." The boy gritted his teeth.

With that, he turned and left.

After they were gone, Lu Fei immediately moved beside Lu Yu. "Brother Yu, let me take the lead later. This time, I guarantee I won't embarrass you."

From that brief exchange just now, he had already tested the other side's strength.

They were terrible. They were definitely no match for him.

Sure enough, monsters like Tang San and Xiao Wu were ultimately rare.

"We'll talk about that later. Eat first." With that, Lu Yu took the lead toward the food counter.

He did not go to the second floor.

It was not because he could not bear to spend the money. What he ate simply was not that important to him.

As long as he did not starve to death, it was fine.

Lu Fei wolfed down his meal and ran off. There was no need to guess that he had gone back to the dormitory to fetch his sword.

With his current strength, dealing with Xiao Chenyu and the others would not be a problem even without a sword, but one could never be too careful.

After the lesson Xiao Wu had taught him, he no longer dared underestimate anyone.

Lu Yu was very satisfied with that attitude, so naturally, he did not say anything.

By the time Lu Yu and the others finished eating, Lu Fei had already returned. The group swaggered toward the Back Mountain, immediately drawing plenty of attention.

Soul Masters were not actually that delicate.

A Soul Master who did not fight was not a good Soul Master. So long as they did not openly start a brawl in public, the teachers usually turned a blind eye.

When they arrived at the Back Mountain, Xiao Chenyu had already brought over twenty upperclassmen and arrived ahead of them. He looked at Lu Yu and the others with utter disdain.

"You're Xiao Chenyu, right?"

On the way over, Wang Sheng had already told Lu Yu, Lu Fei, and Xiao Wu about Xiao Chenyu's group. So Lu Yu's gaze fell directly on the child standing at the front.

"Little brat, is Boss Xiao's name something you can call?" Xiao Chenyu did not speak, but one of his lackeys could not hold back.

Lu Yu was speechless. Where did this ridiculous sense of superiority come from?

"Quit yapping. If you want to fight, fight. Why so much nonsense?" What Lu Fei hated most was being called a little brat.

After sweeping his gaze across the group, Xiao Chenyu's eyes landed on Xiao Wu. He said teasingly, "Just fighting is too boring. How about we add a wager?"

He had been worrying about how to lure them into the trap, only for them to dig the hole themselves and climb right into it.

Lu Yu smiled. "Exactly what I wanted. Go on, what do you want to bet?"

"If you lose, this little girl becomes my pet. It won't be for long, just one month." Xiao Chenyu pointed at Xiao Wu.

"You..."

Xiao Wu was about to flare up, but Lu Yu raised a hand to stop her. "No problem. But if you lose, you'll take over all the work for us work-study students."

Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up.

Good. This was good.

She hated working the most. If they won, she would not have to work anymore.

Wang Sheng and the others' eyes lit up as well.

This was really good. Without work, they could spend more time cultivating.

"Hahaha..." Xiao Chenyu laughed loudly. "Us, lose?"

Liu Long beside him laughed along. "Fighting a bunch of little brats? That's easy enough with just our hands. You don't actually think you can win, do you?"

Lu Yu said impatiently, "Stop dragging this out. Are you betting or not?"

"Fine, it's a bet. Let's make it three rounds, best two out of three. How about it?" Xiao Chenyu did not believe they could lose, so he readily agreed.

"I'll go first."

Before Lu Yu could speak, Lu Fei eagerly jumped out.

Xiao Chenyu glanced at him, then looked at Liu Long. "Liu Long, you go first."

"Alright, Boss."

With that, Liu Long stepped out from the group.

When Wang Sheng saw Liu Long come forward, he felt somewhat frustrated. If he had known it would be Liu Long, he would have gone first. But if he suggested switching now, Lu Fei probably would not agree.

Yellow light flashed, and Liu Long's martial soul appeared in his hand. It was a long staff over two meters in length.

Liu Long said, "Show your martial soul."

Lu Fei drew his longsword. "My martial soul is a Steamed Bun. As an auxiliary Soul Master, isn't it reasonable for me to borrow an external weapon?"

"What?"

Xiao Chenyu and the others were instantly dumbfounded.

"Hahaha..."
