Defeating the Enemy in One Move

Xiao Yu ignored Ge La and looked directly at Luo Bu.

Luo Bu immediately laughed mockingly. "You want to fight me? Don't you know what level I'm at?"

"Enough nonsense. Are you fighting or not? If not, admit defeat!" Xiao Yu's face showed a hint of impatience.

"Fight? Why wouldn't I?" A cold smile appeared on Luo Bu's face as he thought to himself, Just wait. I'll make sure to teach you a proper lesson!

Xiao Yu could naturally guess what Luo Bu was thinking, but he did not care. This Luo Bu was asking for a beating, so Xiao Yu had to teach him a good lesson before leaving.

The two went straight outside, with everyone following behind. The boys and girls still baking under the scorching sun outside saw Luo Bu and Xiao Yu walk to the center of the field and immediately turned their gazes toward them.

When they saw Luo Bu wearing Jia Nan Academy's uniform, they could not help whispering among themselves.

"What's going on? Are a new student and an old student fighting?"

"No way. Picking a fight with an old student is just asking for trouble, isn't it?"

"I heard this happened before, but the senior students always used force to suppress them!"

"Probably. I heard Jia Nan Academy has an unwritten rule: if new students are unconvinced, old students will take the edge off their arrogance. Looks like this new student must have offended the senior in front of him!"

Luo Bu naturally heard their words as well. He then looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Well? Are we still fighting?"

"Why are you acting like some woman, hemming and hawing?" Xiao Yu said, curling a finger at him.

"You're courting death!" Luo Bu was instantly furious. He decided he would no longer hold back. He would just say that he had accidentally struck too heavily and accept whatever punishment came his way!

Having made up his mind, Luo Bu slowly circulated the Dou Qi within his body, releasing the aura of a Four-star Dou Zhe. The surrounding new students immediately cried out in surprise. "This senior is actually a Four-star Dou Zhe!"

Luo Bu gave a low shout. "Come!" He stepped back with his right leg, then sprang forward at high speed. His left hand clenched into a fist as Dou Qi slowly coated it, and with fierce force, he smashed it straight toward Xiao Yu's head!

Seeing Luo Bu go all out from the start, everyone frowned. This did not look like a simple lesson at all. He was trying to kill him right away. Xiao Xun Er, standing to one side, darkened, and a dangerous aura enveloped her entire body. Even Xiao Yu glanced sideways at Xun Er. Seeing her face as cold as frost, Xiao Yu felt a trace of chill rise in her heart!

Although Xun Er had great confidence in Xiao Yu's strength, Luo Bu had still left an extremely bad impression on her. Perhaps she would help Xiao Yu vent his anger over today's events once they entered Jia Nan Academy!

Xiao Yu merely watched calmly as Luo Bu swept toward him with a fierce gust of wind. Everyone thought Xiao Yu had been scared stupid, and they could not help sighing inwardly. With such little strength, he still tried to play the hero. Now he'll definitely get beaten black and blue! The girls standing beside Xiao Yu were somewhat anxious as well, but seeing that Xiao Yu herself was not worried, there was nothing they could do!

Just as everyone was criticizing him inwardly, Xiao Yu moved!

A layer of fiery red Dou Qi covered Xiao Yu's right hand. He suddenly reached forward and steadily caught Luo Bu's iron fist!

The entire scene instantly fell silent. That punch, carrying tremendous force, seemed to have struck a ball of cotton. There was not even the slightest sound. Everything seemed calm and effortless, as though it were only natural!

Luo Bu's face immediately flushed red. How could the huge display of force he had created be so easily neutralized by Xiao Yu?

Luo Bu shouted, "Impossible! This is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible. I already told you that even a Four-star Dou Zhe is vulnerable before me!" Xiao Yu smiled faintly, then clenched his left hand into a fist and struck Luo Bu hard in the chest.

"Pfft!"

It felt as though Luo Bu's chest had been hit by a massive truck. His body flew backward, accompanied by the crack of breaking bones. His face instantly turned pale before he spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, Luo Bu crashed heavily to the ground ten meters away, landing on the scorching stone floor outside. His breath caught, and perhaps from a lingering sense of humiliation, his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot!

Everyone present could not help swallowing. Several girls close to Xiao Yu could not help asking, "Yu Er, your little brother is practically a humanoid monster. He's way too strong! He defeated Four-star Dou Zhe Luo Bu in one move and left him unable to fight back. His talent is probably even more monstrous than the academy's Little Demoness!"

Xiao Yu said somewhat helplessly, "That guy still loves showing off as much as ever."

Meanwhile, Ge La, standing on the other side, was repeatedly congratulating himself for not stepping forward. Otherwise, he would only have ended up worse than Luo Bu. Even a Four-star Dou Zhe had been beaten into this state. Wouldn't a One-star Dou Zhe like him be smashed to bits?

The commotion here had already drawn the academy instructors' attention. Before long, Xiao Yu saw Instructor Ruo Lin approaching.

"What happened?" Instructor Ruo Lin asked. Xiao Yu explained everything that had happened, and Instructor Ruo Lin glanced at Ge La and the others, who were shrinking their heads, before saying, "Go carry Luo Bu inside!"

Ge La nodded hurriedly and led two others to carry Luo Bu in from outside. Instructor Ruo Lin lowered her head to inspect Luo Bu's injuries. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and her watery eyes held a helpless glare as she looked at Xiao Yu. "You're so strong, yet you still didn't know to hold back!"

Xiao Yu shrugged innocently. "He said he was a Four-star Dou Zhe himself. Who knew he'd be so unable to take a beating?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, everyone present could not help feeling a string of black lines form across their foreheads as they complained inwardly, Listen to that—does that sound like something a person would say? A Four-star Dou Zhe can't take a beating? This is plainly a monster bullying an old student!

Even Xun Er, who had originally been somewhat angry, twitched at the corner of her eye. Xiao Yan gave Xiao Yu a thumbs-up, while Xiao Yu, standing nearby, held her forehead and said, "This guy really knows how to show off!"

Instructor Ruo Lin sighed. "Take him to the infirmary!"

"Yes!" Ge La's expression trembled. He had not expected Luo Bu's injuries to be this severe. Instructor Ruo Lin's attribute was water, and she naturally possessed some healing methods, yet they were useless on Luo Bu now. This showed just how serious Luo Bu's injuries were!

Ge La glanced at Xiao Yu again and found him staring at him. He immediately shuddered in fright and hurriedly led the others away with Luo Bu, terrified that this living King of Hell would turn his attention on him!

As they left, the new students outside also came in. Instructor Ruo Lin turned and gracefully sat in the chair at the head of the room. Her slender hand lightly brushed the Storage Ring on her left hand, and a faint flash of light passed over it. A green parchment scroll and an ink brush appeared in her hand!

Instructor Ruo Lin raised her eyes to look at the boys and girls before her and smiled lightly. "First, congratulations on passing the academy's preliminary assessment. You can now be considered part of Jia Nan Academy. The academy needs to determine your potential ratings, so I need to know your exact strength. When your name is called, come forward one by one!"

"Eight stages of Dou Qi is F-grade potential, nine stages is E-grade potential, and so on. The highest is S-grade potential for new students at the level of a Five-star Dou Zhe. Of course, this is for those under the age limit of twenty!" As she spoke, Ruo Lin glanced at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yan, and Xun Er. She could not see through the strength of any of the three. What she anticipated most was Xiao Yu. Although Ruo Lin had already made a prediction and was delighted that she might have an S-grade monster under her guidance, she still eagerly awaited Xiao Yu's actual cultivation level!

Everyone also looked toward Xiao Yu. If he could defeat Luo Bu in one move, he was surely S-grade. With such potential, he would certainly become a Dou Emperor in the future. Just thinking about it was terrifying!
