Learning Put to Use

A young man in grayish-white clothes stood smiling at Xiao Yu. Though he wore a smile, they could still see a trace of insincerity in his expression.

Xiao Yu's originally smiling face slowly darkened. After giving the young man an expressionless glance, she said coolly, "Long time no see! Also, we're not that close. Just call me Xiao Yu!"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan both looked at Luo Bu curiously. This fellow's face was indeed unlikeable. He looked somewhat sly, and the scheming calculation in his eyes made people uncomfortable. No wonder Xiao Yu disliked him!

Luo Bu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he quickly composed himself and asked with a chuckle, "Yu—Xiao Yu, did you bring these people here?" Luo Bu finally changed the way he addressed her.

"Mm." Xiao Yu nodded casually. After introducing everyone, she said, "I brought them here for testing!"

"I see." Luo Bu smiled and nodded, then took out a red Crystal Ball. "Perfect, I still have a Testing Crystal here. The other Testing Crystals have all been taken to the front for examinations. If you wait, it will probably take a while, so why not use mine?"

After hesitating slightly, Xiao Yu said to Xiao Yu and the others, "This is a Testing Crystal. The method is simple. As long as you have eight stages of Dou Qi, this Crystal Ball will light up, and you'll pass the test!"

Xiao Ning stepped forward first. The Crystal Ball quickly emitted a glow. Xiao Mei went next, followed by Xiao Xun'er. As expected, the Crystal Ball lit up for all of them, and the three all passed.

However, when Xiao Xun'er stepped forward for her test, a flash of greedy lust passed through Luo Bu's eyes. Xiao Yu immediately narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam flashing within them.

Xiao Yu stepped forward and wrapped an arm around Xiao Yu's soft waist, pulling her directly into his embrace. Xiao Yu froze at first, then her pretty face flushed crimson. The girls beside them were all dumbfounded by Xiao Yu's action, while confusion flashed through Xiao Xun'er's eyes. She did not know what Xiao Yu intended to do.

Luo Bu's face instantly darkened. Before Xiao Yu could resist, she heard Xiao Yu whisper in her ear, "Do you dislike this Luo Bu? Play along with me. I'll help you teach him a lesson!"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yu immediately stopped struggling. Thoughts raced through her mind. Although she did not know how Xiao Yu intended to teach him a lesson, she reacted quickly and cooperated.

The warm breath from Xiao Yu's words brushed against Xiao Yu's ear, making her face flush deeply as she looked utterly bashful. Luo Bu's fists clenched with cracking sounds, but he still did not erupt!

After speaking, Xiao Yu released Xiao Yu. Luo Bu shot Xiao Yu a dark look and said, "Since you've finished testing, go outside and wait for half an hour!"

Following the direction of Luo Bu's finger, they saw the young men and women outside sitting on the ground beneath the blazing sun. Xiao Yu's willow brows rose, and her face turned frosty as she shouted coldly, "Luo Bu, what do you mean by this?"

"Rules, naturally. New students these days are becoming more and more impatient. This is also to temper their dispositions, so they can adapt to academy life more quickly," Luo Bu said expressionlessly.

"Don't feed me that nonsense. I can't be bothered with you bullying those new students, but don't pull this on the people I brought!" Xiao Yu said coldly.

The girls beside her also frowned and said, "Enough, Luo Bu. Those unwritten rules only bully newcomers. They're dispensable, so why make such a fuss over them?"

Luo Bu sneered. "They were tested here by me, so I now have the right to manage them. Don't I even have that much authority?"

As they spoke, several men entered the tent. Looking at Luo Bu with grins, they said, "Big Brother Luo Bu, looks like things aren't going too smoothly here. Need our help?"

"It's nothing. Just a few newcomers refusing to obey. They aren't even willing to go outside and receive the academy's welcome gift for new students!" Luo Bu said casually as he put away the Crystal Ball.

"Oh? Who is it? So blind to their place? It's been a long time since I've seen freshmen this arrogant. Need our help?" the leading young man said with a smile. Everyone saw a golden star embroidered on his chest, clearly indicating the strength of a One-star Dou Zhe!

Luo Bu suddenly smiled. "Fine. Since you don't want to go outside, then don't. As long as you can spar with this senior, Ge La, and hold out for twenty exchanges against him, you'll win and be allowed to stay. How about it?"

A smile of having succeeded flashed through Xiao Yu's eyes. This spar was exactly what he wanted. Xiao Yan had grown somewhat irritated by Luo Bu and was about to step forward when Xiao Yu stopped him.

Xiao Yu looked at Luo Bu and said blandly, "I know you just want me to fight him, right?"

Seeing Xiao Yu step forward, a cold glint flashed through Luo Bu's eyes. He did not respond to Xiao Yu's words.

"There's no need to make it so troublesome. If you want a fight, then let's fight—but I'm not fighting him!" Xiao Yu said.

Several girls who were closer to Xiao Yu urged her, "Hurry and talk your little brother out of this!"

At the mention of sparring, Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Yu. She was not panicked at all, and after looking at him, she said nothing.

"Not fighting him? Then you can pick anyone among these people!" A mocking smile appeared on Luo Bu's face. He thought Xiao Yu was afraid!

The people behind Ge La were either at the Nine Stages of Dou Qi or had only recently entered the One-star Dou Zhe level. Luo Bu thought Xiao Yu wanted to fight one of them!

Ge La also mocked, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, you're my junior!"

Xiao Yu smiled faintly. "No. I'm fighting you!"

Luo Bu froze, then pointed at himself. "Are you talking to me?"

"Who else?" Xiao Yu said.

"Hahaha, kid, you're quite arrogant. But let me tell you, I only recently became a Four-star Dou Zhe. Are you sure you want to fight me?" Luo Bu suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"Hurry and persuade your little brother! Luo Bu is a Four-star Dou Zhe. He can't beat him!" The girls around Xiao Yu all urged her.

Xiao Yu was not worried. The moment she returned, she had learned that Xiao Yu was already a Four-star Dou Zhe. Several months had passed since then, so defeating Luo Bu should not be a problem at all!

Meanwhile, Xun'er, Xiao Yan, and the others stood to the side as if watching a show, without saying anything to stop him.

"Kid, you want to fight Big Brother Luo Bu? Fight me first. Let me teach you how to respect your seniors!" Ge La said, rolling his neck.

Xiao Yu suddenly turned to Ge La and said disdainfully, "You idiot, get lost already. A One-star Dou Zhe is still yapping here. If I were your age and still a One-star Dou Zhe, I'd find a block of tofu and smash my head into it!"

The scene instantly fell silent. Ge La's face reddened as he stared at Xiao Yu. "You... you dare insult me!" Though he did not know what "idiot" meant, he could tell Xiao Yu was insulting him!

Xiao Yu and Xun'er gave Xiao Yan strange looks. After all, this was also the first time they had heard the word "idiot" from Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan spread his hands helplessly. "He learned it himself. This is putting what he learned into practice, isn't it? Besides, I think Little Yu is right!"

Xiao Yu rolled her eyes at Xiao Yan. "You're the one who led him astray. You two are both little bastards!"
