Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death
Chapter 421: Planning a Quick Decision
Lin Yu was not panicked. He quickly took a step back, and the soul rings on his body slowly rose - two yellow hundred-year soul rings and a purple thousand-year soul ring. His martial soul was a strange spear, which was already in his hand at this moment, showing its sharp edge.
"Go!" Lin Yu shouted in a low voice, and shook the spear in his hand. Suddenly, a sharp breath burst out and went straight towards the strong man.
The sturdy man snorted coldly, and without dodging or evading, he directly met the spear with his fists.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, a strong wind blew up in the center of the ring, and people in the audience could even feel the shock wave.
"What a strong power!" someone in the audience exclaimed.
But the next moment, the strong man's face changed slightly. Although his fists blocked the attack of the spear, he felt a sharp stinging pain on his fists. He looked down and saw a few tiny bloodstains on his fists.
"Is there poison on your gun?" the sturdy man frowned.
Lin Yu sneered and said, "It's not poison, it's just that my soul skills have some armor-breaking effects. Go on, it was just a warm-up."
The sturdy man's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to be careless. He shouted in a deep voice, and three soul rings lit up on his body, including two thousand-year soul rings. His martial soul appeared, which turned out to be a pair of huge bear paws.
The fight became more intense, the two punched and kicked each other, and the collision of their martial spirits made the entire ring tremble. The cheers from the audience became louder and louder, and many people even stood up to cheer for the fierce duel between the two.
And on the podium, several distinguished guests also showed expressions of approval.
"That skinny boy is good. He has sharp shooting skills and uses his soul skills properly." A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes nodded.
"Unfortunately, his opponent is obviously better at close combat. I'm afraid he will suffer a loss over time." Another person shook his head.
Sure enough, as that person expected, after the battle entered a white-hot stage, Lin Yu gradually fell into a disadvantage. The sturdy man's strength was so strong that even the ring was cracked by his fists.
"It's over!" the sturdy man roared and punched Lin Yu hard with both fists.
Lin Yu gritted his teeth and tried to block with the spear in his hand, but under the huge impact force, he was blown away from the ring.
"The winner of the first match is Qin Shan!" the referee announced loudly.
Thunderous applause suddenly rang out around the ring, and many people stood up to cheer for the strong man.
At the third ring, Xiao Wu had already stepped onto the ring. Her opponent was a stern-looking young man in a black robe.
"Xiao Wu, come on!" The young men in the audience waved their fists and shouted at her.
Xiao Wu turned her head and gave him a playful smile: "Don't worry, just look at me!"
Next, her battle is about to begin, and all this is just the beginning of today's competition.
On the viewing platform, Lu Yu sat in the crowd, his eyes swept around calmly. His hands were casually crossed in front of his chest, and he was wearing a simple gray-blue robe. Compared with the gorgeously dressed spectators around him, he looked a little ordinary, but his temperament was different. His eyes finally fell on the old man in the main seat who was dressed in luxurious clothes.
The old man was wearing a crimson-purple robe embroidered with exquisite gold-thread cloud patterns, a badge inlaid with a huge sapphire on his chest, and a glittering dagger hanging from his waist. His hair was gray, but his face was ruddy and shiny, and his eyes were bright. Even if he sat there motionless, he was surrounded by a majestic aura, as if his presence was enough to suppress the whole place.
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth slightly raised, and he said softly: "Interesting."
Dai Tianxing, who was beside him, turned around in confusion when he heard the voice and asked, "What did you find?"
Lu Yu shook his head slightly, and did not answer directly, but whispered: "What do you think of that old man?"
Dai Tianxing followed his gaze and soon noticed the old man. He frowned slightly, "He has an extraordinary demeanor and looks like a powerful person. Could he be Emperor Xue Ye?"
"No," Lu Yu chuckled and lowered his voice, "Emperor Xue Ye is older than him. I have seen the portrait and he does not look like this at all. And, if I am not mistaken, this person should be Prince Xue Xing, the younger brother of Emperor Xue Ye."
"Prince Xuexing?" Dai Tianxing was startled, then said thoughtfully, "So it's him. I heard that although this prince is not in power in the court, his influence is extremely amazing. Especially in the army, he holds a lot of real power. It is said that he has made many military achievements and is even more popular than the current emperor."
Lu Yu nodded and added in a low voice: "It is rumored that he once competed with Emperor Xue Ye for the throne in his early years. Although he was later forced to retreat behind the scenes, he has always been one of the powerful figures in the Tiandou Empire. Being able to sit in the main seat and watch the battle, it is obvious that he has not completely withdrawn from the vortex of power. It's interesting, isn't it?"
Dai Tianxing's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, "So, he's probably not just here to watch the fun of this match, right?"
"Of course not," Lu Yu smiled softly, "If I guess correctly, he should be observing. Maybe he has different expectations for some contestants."
"For example?" Dai Tianxing couldn't help but ask.
Lu Yu did not answer immediately, but pointed to a place in the distance: "Look there."
Dai Tianxing looked in the direction he was looking and noticed that they were teams of soldiers in armor standing solemnly outside the venue, in uniform and with great momentum. He frowned and asked, "Who are these soldiers?"
"Prince Xuexing's personal guards." Lu Yu said confidently, "They are not the regular army of the Tiandou Empire, but the prince's private armed forces. Look at the eyes of those soldiers, they reveal a rare well-trained calmness and decisiveness, and they are obviously veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. The royal family will never allow them to expose this kind of power at will."
Dai Tianxing immediately gasped: "The prince actually brought so many people here, what does he want to do here?"
"Don't jump to conclusions," Lu Yu shook his head, his expression indifferent, "Perhaps he is simply demonstrating his influence, or perhaps this game has other meanings for him. Everything is just speculation now, but what is certain is that this prince is definitely not an easy person to deal with."
As the two were talking in low voices, Prince Xuexing slowly raised his hand and motioned to the attendant beside him to pour tea. The attendant respectfully poured him hot tea and whispered, "Your Highness, the second round of this competition is about to begin. Do you need me to pass on a message and arrange for someone?"
Prince Xuexing chuckled, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty: "Don't worry. This game is just a chance for the younger generation to hone their skills. What is really worth paying attention to is often hidden at the end. Be patient, we have a long way to go."
Upon hearing this, the attendant immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Lu Yu looked at this scene, raised his eyebrows slightly, and thought about something in his mind.
"Lu Yu," Dai Tianxing lowered his voice, "Do you think he will be interested in us?"
"Interest?" Lu Yu chuckled and shook his head. "Don't overestimate yourself. People like him have very high standards. If we stand out enough, we may attract his attention, but it's just attention. What he is really interested in are probably those big figures or forces that can influence the situation. We are not qualified enough for him to care about us."
"Then why are you still paying so much attention to him?" Dai Tianxing asked puzzled.
Lu Yu smiled calmly: "It's just a matter of knowing yourself and knowing your enemy. Such a person, whether we like it or not, may become a barrier that cannot be ignored. Seeing through his intentions will only benefit us and not harm us."
After hearing this, Dai Tianxing nodded thoughtfully.
At the same time, Prince Xuexing's eyes slowly swept across the venue. His eyes did not linger, but seemed to take everyone in. He whispered to a servant beside him, "Did you see the boy in the gray-blue robe just now?"
The attendant was stunned, and nodded quickly: "Your Highness, are you referring to the young man sitting in the crowd and talking to others?"
Prince Xuexing nodded slightly and chuckled, "He may seem inconspicuous, but he has a calm gaze and a cold temperament. He is not an ordinary person. Check his background. I am somewhat interested in him."
"Yes." The servant retreated respectfully.
Not far away, Lu Yu seemed to sense something, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He whispered: "Interesting, it seems that our prince is not completely ignoring me."
Dai Tianxing was stunned: "You mean, he noticed you?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Maybe," Lu Yu said calmly, "but it doesn't matter. Instead of worrying about him, it's better to focus on the next game. What's coming will eventually come, right?"
Dai Tianxing nodded, but couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Although Lu Yu appeared calm on the surface, he must have already begun to plan his next response strategy in his heart.
The whistle blew on the field, and the second round was about to begin. At this time, the atmosphere in the spectator seats became more tense and complicated with the presence of Prince Xuexing. Lu Yu took a deep breath and looked back at the field, but he was secretly alert in his heart.
"Prince Xuexing...what exactly is he planning?"
The annual college competition of Tiandou Royal College is a long-awaited event for all students. It is not only a competition for honor, but also the best stage to show talent and strength. This year, the most eye-catching one is not the talented students who have been widely favored from the beginning, but a little-known dark horse - Lu Yu.
"Hey, did you hear? That Lu Yu defeated a three-ring soul master yesterday!"
"What? Three-ring Soul Master? He doesn't even have a martial soul?!"
"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes. He knocked his opponent off the ring with his fists. The movement was so fast that I couldn't even see it clearly!"
In the rest area for the contestants, several students were talking to each other, occasionally casting surprised glances at Lu Yu who was not far away. Lu Yu was sitting alone in a corner, resting his eyes, as if he was oblivious to everything around him.
He was not conspicuous, wearing an ordinary blue-gray suit without any fancy decorations. He looked like an ordinary student. However, it was this unremarkable boy who defeated a three-ring soul master with thunderous means yesterday. At the end of the game, the exclamations from the audience almost overturned the entire fighting arena.
"Lu Yu, you are very free."
A cold voice sounded, and a young man wearing the uniform of a senior student of Tiandou Royal Academy came over. He wore three golden soul rings on his chest, indicating that he was a soul master. He looked at Lu Yu with provocation in his eyes.
Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes and looked at the other person calmly. "What's the matter?"
"I heard that you defeated a three-ring soul master yesterday. That's incredible. But in today's match, I hope you won't use those little tricks to cheat." The young man sneered, "Let me see what real skills you have."
Lu Yu was still not angered, and just said calmly: "The victory or defeat will be decided on the field, and the nonsense should be left to those who don't want to win."
"You!" The boy's face changed, but before he could say anything, the teacher hosting the competition had already begun to call the contestants to prepare to go on stage.
The lights in the competition area of the fighting arena were brightly lit, and the packed auditorium burst into enthusiastic cheers.
"The next match will be between contestant Lu Yu and contestant Wang Feng!" The host's voice echoed in the venue like thunder.
"Wang Feng! He is one of the top ten talented students in the academy!"
"I heard that he is a very powerful three-ring soul master. I'm afraid Lu Yu is in danger this time, right?"
"Who knows? I thought Lu Yu would lose yesterday's match, but what happened? Maybe he can create a miracle!"
There were discussions in the audience, and at this moment, Lu Yu had already walked onto the stage. He was still unhurried, as if he didn't care about the upcoming battle. His opponent, Wang Feng, sneered and crossed his arms.
"Lu Yu, right? I heard that you are very powerful and you can win without even using your martial spirit." Wang Feng looked at Lu Yu, his tone full of sarcasm, "Today, don't hide anything, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for even a quarter of an hour."
Lu Yu just looked at him quietly and said calmly: "Go ahead."
Wang Feng snorted coldly, and his soul power suddenly burst out. Three soul rings shone around him, two yellow and one purple, with an imposing aura. His martial soul was a large sword burning with flames, the sword body was red as fire, with a scorching temperature.
"First soul skill, Flame Slash!"
As soon as the words fell, Wang Feng swung the flaming sword in his hand suddenly, and a blazing flaming sword energy rushed straight towards Lu Yu. The blazing heat distorted the air, and there was a cry of surprise from the audience.
"This move directly uses the first soul skill. Wang Feng intends to end the battle quickly!"
However, facing such a fierce attack, Lu Yu's movements were extremely simple. He slightly misaligned his feet, tilted his body sideways, and the flaming sword energy passed by him without hurting him at all.
A trace of surprise flashed across Wang Feng's eyes, and then he angrily said, "How dare you underestimate me! Watch out!"
He swung out several flaming sword qi in succession, and the attack became faster and faster, completely covering Lu Yu. But what was shocking was that Lu Yu never released his martial soul, and easily avoided all the attacks with his agile body.
