"I am the rules!"
The words were arrogant and overbearing, yet Xiao Yu and the others found them perfectly reasonable.
The Miter Family!
A great family of the Imperial Capital, whose patriarch was even one of the Empire's ten greatest experts!
And Lei Luo was the patriarch's son, so saying such a thing seemed only natural.
"Wow, little brother Lei Luo is way too handsome! Yu'er, why don't you..." Xue Ni coquettishly shook Xiao Yu's arm.
Xiao Yu rolled her eyes, pulled her hand free, and asked Xiao Yan and the others in a low, worried voice:
"What do we do? Lei Luo's guards didn't come in with him. Luo Bu has already broken through to a Four-Star Dou Practitioner. Will he suffer a loss?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan lowered his eyelids slightly. "You should stop worrying about him. What about you? Are you really planning to just give yourself away like that?"
Xiao Yu's face flushed crimson. For a moment, she was speechless and stood rooted to the spot in utter confusion.
Xun'er and Xiao Mei exchanged glances, both stunned.
After all, when had they ever seen Xiao Yu like this?
Meanwhile, Luo Bu's face before Lei Luo had darkened so much it seemed ready to drip water.
At that moment, the young men who had been sitting with Luo Bu stood and walked over.
"Brother Luo Bu, what's going on?"
A group of young men emerged from the tent's shadows, grinning as they looked toward Lei Luo.
"Nothing much. These freshmen simply don't want to go out and get some sun." Luo Bu put away the crystal ball and replied casually with a smile.
"Tsk, tsk, it's been a long time since we ran into freshmen this arrogant. Brother Luo Bu, need us to lend a hand?"
One of the young men said ingratiatingly.
Luo Bu looked at the languid-looking Lei Luo, then at Xiao Yu's gloomy pretty face. After a brief pause, he suddenly smiled.
"How about this? If you don't want to go out, then don't. But to convince everyone, as long as you can last twenty exchanges against Ge La, we'll let this matter go.
Well? Do you dare?"
Before Lei Luo could answer, the girls beside Xiao Yu had already begun berating Luo Bu.
The girls were all sharp-minded and naturally saw through Luo Bu's intentions. One after another, they cursed him for being shameless.
Xiao Yu looked full of self-reproach as she anxiously snapped:
"Luo Bu, you bastard! You want a One-Star Dou Practitioner senior to fight a freshman? Why didn't I notice you were this shameless before?!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's scolding, Luo Bu's face twitched, and the bitterness in his heart grew even stronger.
At that moment, Ge La also understood the implication. Cracking his wrists, he grinned viciously. "Come on, brat. Let me teach you how to respect your seniors, so you don't suffer later!"
But Lei Luo showed no reaction at all. He did not even spare him another glance.
Instead, he smiled at Luo Bu. "What's the point of fighting him? Why don't I fight you instead?"
Luo Bu's eyes lit up, and then a cold smile curled across his lips.
"You said that yourself. Don't start crying after you lose!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ge La and the others burst into laughter, as if mocking Lei Luo for overestimating himself.
Seeing that Lei Luo actually intended to challenge Luo Bu, Xiao Yu became even more anxious.
But Xiao Yan, who knew Lei Luo's strength well, was not worried in the slightest. Seeing Xiao Yu had lost her composure, he spoke to comfort her.
"Don't worry. Lei Luo isn't reckless. Don't forget who he is."
At that, Xiao Yu and Xue Ni's eyes brightened, and they gradually calmed down.
The utterly clueless Luo Bu was already itching to fight, though he still pretended to be reserved.
"As your senior, I won't bully you. You attack first!"
Lei Luo looked expressionless at Luo Bu's manner. He strode forward and threw a direct punch at Luo Bu's chest.
Luo Bu had initially looked completely composed.
But when he felt the howling wind and the fierce Dou Qi rushing toward him, his expression changed drastically!
"This... isn't a Dou Practitioner!"
As Luo Bu's body flew backward, that was the only thought in his mind.
Only after he crashed heavily onto the ground and spat out a mouthful of black blood did he realize he had provoked the wrong person.
Everyone was stunned after Luo Bu was defeated in a single blow.
That was a Four-Star Dou Practitioner!
Not Four-Stage Dou Qi!
The painful groans from behind snapped Ge La and the others back to their senses, and they hurried over to check on Luo Bu.
Seeing Luo Bu's slightly caved-in chest, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
A single strike had rendered a Four-Star Dou Practitioner unable to move. Such terrifying strength was beyond what they dared imagine.
Among everyone present, Xiao Yan was the calmest.
Knowing Luo Bu's strength, he was not surprised by this outcome at all.
After all, it would have been strange if a Seven-Star Dou Master could not manage something like this.
Lei Luo kept a taut face as he walked step by step toward Ge La and the others, who were in a panic.
As Lei Luo approached, they supported Luo Bu and backed away continuously, their faces full of fear.
When they retreated to the edge of the tent, they actually tossed the barely conscious Luo Bu onto the ground.
But Lei Luo had no interest in attacking someone who had lost the ability to fight.
With a flip of his hand, a gray cloth sack the size of a head appeared in his palm.
He weighed the stuffed sack in his hand, producing a clattering sound of metal striking metal.
Walking up to Luo Bu, he looked down at him from above and said:
"Here, take this money. It's your reward. Don't say I bullied you."
With a light toss, the sack full of gold coins landed beside Luo Bu's head.
Humiliated so thoroughly, Luo Bu spat out another mouthful of blood and finally passed out.
When they came back to their senses, Xue Ni and the other girls erupted.
"Yu'er, just what level is your fiancé at?"
"He's definitely stronger than a Four-Star Dou Practitioner, right?"
Xiao Yu herself was also utterly shocked.
She had never imagined that Lei Luo's strength would be this great.
Looking at Lei Luo, who remained so calm and unruffled, a strange shyness rose within Xiao Yu's heart.
When Lei Luo returned to Xiao Yu's side, a soft laugh that made hearts melt drifted from inside the tent.
"Tsk, tsk, this little fellow's talent truly is frightening. Looks like I picked up a little monster this time!"
The sudden voice was so gentle that it nearly made one drunk with enchantment.
Under that soft voice, every boy present could not help but lose focus.
Only after a moment did everyone follow the sound with their eyes and look into the tent.
There, in the shadows of the tent, stood a green-clad woman with a graceful figure.
A gentle smile rested on her beautiful face. Her eyes flowed with charm, and the soft gaze she directed at everyone was like a clear spring.
The woman appeared slightly older than Xiao Yu and the others.
Her full, exquisite figure exuded the mature charm forged by time, a natural allure far beyond what immature girls like Xiao Yu could compare to.
Lei Luo looked at the mature woman before him and curled his lips. "She's still a little lacking compared to my Ya Fei."
Ruo Lin, who had been in a fine mood, trembled at his words. The smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a trace of chilliness.
"Little fellow, what did you just say? Say that again if you dare?"
