The senior members of the Dean's Office, led by Meng Shenji, looked as though they were dreaming.
Dugu Bo was the first to come to his senses. He slowly clenched his fists and stared fixedly at Lu Yu, an unreadable glint flashing in his eyes.
Three Soul Rings were circling Lu Yu's body!
Yellow! Purple! Purple!
One yellow, two purple!
A Soul Ring configuration beyond the limits!
Even the big shots on the platform had never heard of such a thing!
In the air, the confident smile on Zhang Fang's face froze completely, and his scalp went numb.
Damn it...
What kind of monster was this?
Among his four rings, he only had one thousand-year Soul Ring, while this guy already had two thousand-year Soul Rings with only three!
No wonder!
No wonder his physical strength was so powerful!
At that moment, Lu Yu's First Soul Ring lit up. The Heaven-Defying Seal swelled with the wind, transforming into a massive seal of pure golden radiance that hovered above his head.
A series of clanging sounds rang out, but the Heaven-Defying Seal did not budge in the slightest!
"Go!"
With a sweep of Lu Yu's hand, the Heaven-Defying Seal shot forth, turning into a streak of golden light as it hurtled toward Zhang Fang in the air!
Seeing the golden seal flying toward him at terrifying speed, Zhang Fang's expression changed. His First and Third Soul Rings lit up simultaneously.
First Soul Skill—Ghost God Power!
Third Soul Skill—Ghost Shadow!
One was a boosting Soul Skill, while the other was purely speed-based!
The next moment, Zhang Fang's body left a trail of afterimages in the air as he dodged to the side.
Zhang Fang had never expected the golden seal to seemingly have eyes. It actually turned in midair and pursued him directly!
What terrified him even more was...
The golden seal was actually faster than his speed at full burst!
In just a few breaths, Zhang Fang watched in despair as the golden seal grew larger and larger in his vision, crashing down toward his head!
"Bang!"
Just as the golden seal was about to smash into Zhang Fang's head, the golden light on its surface suddenly faded. At the same time, it rapidly shrank into a palm-sized jade seal and struck him on the head.
Even so, Zhang Fang was smashed until his head was bleeding, falling toward the ground like a kite with its string cut.
The referee rushed forward and caught him. Looking at the unconscious Zhang Fang, he announced, "Lu Yu wins!"
With that, he carried Zhang Fang off the arena for treatment.
Only then did the students in the spectator stands finally snap out of it.
As they watched Lu Yu put away his martial soul, the looks in every student's eyes changed.
There was no envy or jealousy in them, only shock and fear.
They simply could not envy a Soul Ring configuration that surpassed the limits.
After all, even if a thousand-year Soul Ring were placed before them at level twenty, they would not dare absorb it.
Absorbing a Soul Ring beyond one's limit could easily result in one's body exploding to death!
They had never imagined that Lu Yu's First Soul Ring had already exceeded the limit, while his Second Soul Ring matched the optimal age limit of an ordinary Soul Master's Third Soul Ring!
His Third Soul Ring... had even surpassed seven thousand years!
At that moment, Prince Xue Xing walked down from the platform.
He approached Lu Yu expressionlessly, handed him a token, and said:
"This is a VIP token for the Heavenly Dou Auction. The auction will be held in three days."
"After the auction ends, someone will come to retrieve this token."
"Do not lose it!"
"The prize money of one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins will be presented to you later by someone from the Dean's Office."
After saying that, Prince Xue Xing arrogantly turned and left. Just as always, he did not regard commoners as worthy of his notice.
Looking at his retreating figure, Lu Yu's expression became somewhat strange.
If this had been in his past life before the last, this old fox would have been worthy of being called an award-winning actor!
After putting the token into his Soul Guiding Ring, Lu Yu turned and jumped down from the arena.
At that moment, a fragrant scent wafted over him. Dugu Yan ran up, grabbed his arm, and held it as though declaring her ownership. She raised her head to look at the female students in the stands, then turned back and winked at Lu Yu.
"You won the championship and got a reward of one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. Why don't you treat me to a meal to celebrate?"
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Senior, we don't seem to be that close, do we?"
The students in the stands had all pricked up their ears to listen. Upon hearing this, the female students' eyes lit up, while the male students wore strange expressions.
A beauty like Dugu Yan was throwing herself at him, yet Lu Yu was pushing her away?
But then Dugu Yan said with a wounded expression, "We spent a night together, at least. How can you turn your back on me now?"
The entire venue erupted in an uproar.
Lu Yu's mouth twitched. He said nothing more and simply dragged Dugu Yan away.
If he let this "seductress" keep talking, he was afraid he would become a scumbag who abandoned a woman after taking advantage of her in the eyes of the students...
Ignoring the students' strange looks, Lu Yu made his way back to the dormitory, with Dugu Yan following behind him the entire time.
After entering the dormitory, Lu Yu tilted his head toward Dugu Yan and said helplessly, "Why do you insist on following me?"
If it were anyone else, he would have thrown them out already. At worst, he could just beat them up!
But the problem was...
A Title Douluo stood behind this woman!
And that Title Douluo was currently in the academy!
Given Dugu Bo's temperament, if he beat up his granddaughter, would that old fellow not go berserk?
Dugu Yan's gaze slowly moved downward as she smiled teasingly. "I came to see how 'big' little brother Lu Yu is..."
Lu Yu glared at her. "I saved your life, at least. Is this how you repay me?"
Dugu Yan put on an innocent expression. "Is offering myself to you not enough?"
Lu Yu was completely speechless.
At that moment, the smile on Dugu Yan's face suddenly disappeared. She narrowed her long, beautiful eyes and gritted her teeth. "Why did you lie to me?"
Lu Yu froze for a moment, then quickly understood that she was referring to what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest.
But he still feigned calm confusion. "What are you talking about?"
Dugu Yan snorted coldly. "Let me tell you the truth! My grandfather was secretly following us the entire time in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"When I suffered backlash from my martial soul that day, you saved me. Why did you lie to me afterward?"
"Your grandfather?" Lu Yu looked confused.
Dugu Yan said proudly, "My grandfather was the one sitting beside Prince Xue Xing on the platform today—Dugu Bo!"
"Title: Poison!"
Lu Yu pretended his pupils had shrunk as he exclaimed in shock, "A Title Douluo?!"
Dugu Yan raised her chin, looking utterly proud.
Lu Yu fell silent. A moment later, he suddenly waved his hand, and a number of Gold Soul Coins, several books, and a pile of miscellaneous items appeared on the coffee table.
At the top of that pile was a half-cup bra, its style incredibly bold!
Dugu Yan's expression instantly froze. Then her pretty face turned bright red. Just as she was about to snap at him, Lu Yu spoke first:
"Since there was a powerful expert protecting you, my saving you that day was unnecessary."
"We had an agreement. I would protect you while you absorbed the Soul Ring, and afterward, you would give me your storage Soul Tool as payment."
"I am returning these things you gave me as extras. From now on, neither of us owes the other anything!"
Lu Yu's words left Dugu Yan stunned, and her flushed face turned pale.
After a long while, she suddenly stomped her foot hard. Without taking the things from the coffee table, she turned and left.
Lu Yu let out a slight sigh of relief. Looking at the miscellaneous items on the coffee table, he rubbed his brow with a headache.
