Chapter 181 Shocks the Entire Audience, A Moment of Kingly Cool! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"The last examiner is... Lu Yu!?"
Helian Tu stared wide-eyed at the young face sitting in the examiners' seat on the stage, his expression one of shock, especially when he saw the examiners nodding to him, indicating that they had no objections.
At that moment, the volcanic will surging in his mind was instantly extinguished by a torrential rain, turning directly into mud, and his thoughts became rigid as well...
What on earth is going on?!
Aren't we all test-takers?
Why did you sneak off and sit in the examiner's seat?
"Lu Yu!?"
Many geniuses were stunned when they heard this name and looked up at the young man who was calmly leaning back in the examiner's chair and talking with Luo Zisong!
It's not impossible that they look alike, but that blindfolded space-type spider girl has completely locked down his identity!
It's Lu Yu, the hottest rising star on the border recently, hailed as one of the seeds with the potential to break into the realm of prodigies!
Just moments ago they were saying that this guy might become a formidable opponent in the future, but he was not a threat now. However, in the blink of an eye, Lu Yu was sitting with many Morning Star level examiners, looking down at their battle performance from above.
They went directly from being rivals to becoming students!
This is simply unacceptable, and I have no idea what happened.
One of the geniuses couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on? Could it be that I'm actually in a battle right now, but I've fallen into a false dream woven by Wei Tian?"
"Don't drag me into this. I'm even more confused than you. I'm already wondering if things went wrong today. We even saw Lu Yu become an examiner. Could it be... that some powerful person has distorted our consciousness?"
Wei Tian was so shocked that he was wide awake. With dark circles under his eyes, he stared intently at Lu Yu, who was chatting and laughing high up, and completely questioned his existence.
He preferred to believe that someone had tampered with his memories rather than that Lu Yu would become the examiner!
"This is a ghost..."
Zhao Wen no longer possessed the composed and calm demeanor of a noble young master. His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"This guy is definitely unexpected!"
Cindy couldn't help but smile bitterly. She was certain they weren't dreaming, but their previous boasts seemed like a joke.
You've taken Lu Yu as your rival!
As it turns out, he had already transcended the circle of his peers and directly became an equal to the Morning Star Rank Beastmasters!
They didn't even glance at them!
Although what we are seeing is real, many people find it hard to accept.
"Why is someone younger than us an examiner?"
"I'm a bit confused. What's going on? Could the blond guy from the secret realm also have an effect on the competition organizers? Could it be that these examiners were all coerced?"
"Could there be any inside story behind the top-tier genius battle? But we're not from a lowly background either. Normally, we should be the ones bullying others, so how did we end up being bullied by Lu Yu?"
"By the way, the person next to Lu Yu seems to be Luo Zisong, the principal of his high school. He's a veteran Morning Star Beast Tamer, just one step away from the Radiant Moon rank. Maybe he's the one who got Lu Yu a spot!"
"Even so, this is still going too far! Even if it's a quota being taken internally within the league, they should at least do it discreetly. This is blatant insult to us!"
"I refuse to accept this! I demand an explanation!"
"..."
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, feeling like they'd been tricked.
"Is this for real? Is Lu Yu really an examiner!?"
The soldiers guarding Nightmoon Town were also bewildered.
Although they had been looking forward to Lu Yu's arrival, when they actually saw him, they were not surprised, but only shocked, and there was much discussion.
The officers maintaining order looked at each other, completely unaware of the news.
But it must be said that the shock effect brought about by this unconventional approach is beyond imagination!
The scene instantly erupted in excitement!
Many geniuses have demanded an explanation!
"I found something nice on the way, and it took a while to get around to it, but thankfully I wasn't late, otherwise I would have been heartbroken to have my salary docked..."
Lu Yu sat in his chair, calmly chatting with the principal, seemingly oblivious to the noisy atmosphere.
To ignore it is the greatest contempt!
"This kid is as arrogant as ever!"
Zhang Li shook her head; her feelings were actually more complicated than those of the people in the audience.
Not long ago, she was above Lu Yu and regarded him as a junior. She never expected that he would be on equal footing with her now!
Moreover, when she arrived, she happened to see the real reason why Lu Yu was late, and what he was doing...
His seat as an examiner wasn't a privilege, but rather a sign of the candidates' good fortune!
This guy is definitely close to the level of those nine prodigies!
"Old Luo is really lucky; he picked up a top-tier prodigy for free..."
Guan Xiangping's eyes turned red with jealousy. It was one thing for such an outstanding genius not to appear in Meteor City, but his old rival got the better deal!
Seeing him make money is more painful than losing money myself!
That's outrageous!
"Remaining unmoved by honor or disgrace is indeed admirable!"
Seeing Lu Yu's reaction, Peng Lin, though still indifferent, secretly admired him.
A general needs a calm and composed heart to handle any situation.
In particular, Lu Yu's handling of crises in several secret realms demonstrated his ability to advance and retreat with measured steps, maximizing his benefits!
Set aside honor and disgrace, and regard all factors as tools!
A compassionate leader is not a good general!
Such outstanding talent should join the military after graduation to give full play to his strengths!
Moreover, he, the general stationed in Nightmoon Town, has received word that he needs to be on high alert, which means...
The situation on the border battlefield has been unstable recently!
The brief period of peace is most likely coming to an end!
"This kid has a really thick skin!"
Compared to the composure of the other examiners, Luo Zisong felt a chill run down his spine under the gazes of the audience, making him feel like some kind of... evil principal who engages in underhanded dealings and shady transactions!
But his original intention was clearly for the good of these geniuses!
To prevent them from being attacked!
"It's a pity I can't say those words out loud, otherwise they would have fought tooth and nail just to save face!"
Luo Zisong sighed and whispered to Lu Yu beside him:
"Aren't you going to say anything?"
In response, Lu Yu offered words of comfort:
"As elders, we should be magnanimous and not argue with these ignorant and noisy young people!"
"..."
Luo Zisong was speechless. Although what he said made a lot of sense, it seemed that you were the youngest one!
Why does he sound so old-fashioned and slick the moment he opens his mouth?
He felt a pang of regret.
Will I ruin my reputation this time...?
If that's the case, it would be better to let Lu Yu beat the person until they become deformed!
Compared to Luo Zisong's deep concern, Lu Yu's calmness was genuine; he was truly indifferent. He had a clear understanding of his own position: he was just someone who would collect a salary and live off others. If something went wrong, he could simply become a temporary worker, collect his wages, and leave.
Everyone hates capitalists, but everyone wants to be a capitalist!
So what if others have doubts?
It's just envy, jealousy, and hatred!
"Most importantly, as an examiner, how can you be fighting with a candidate? It's utterly disgraceful!"
Lu Yu waved his hand, and Little Spider stepped forward, extending her fair little hand to give him a gentle massage.
This scene enraged everyone!
I've seen people get in through connections, but I've never seen anyone act so arrogantly after getting in!
"Come down here and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"
"Damn, he's even getting involved with the maids! Is this guy on vacation? Or is this his vacation spot?!"
"I'm not convinced!"
"..."
"What should we do?"
The crowd below was indignant, and the officers maintaining order looked troubled. They looked up at Peng Lin and asked for instructions on what to do next.
While he appreciated the performance, Peng Lin didn't want this battle of geniuses to cause any trouble.
So he said, "Since they have a problem with you, then you should go and persuade them!"
In fact, the fact that things have developed to this point is also partly due to Peng Lin's silent and go-with-the-flow approach, wanting to see how Lu Yu handles conflicts between people, apart from secret realms and monsters.
To get a high-level monthly attribute resource for free, you need to demonstrate the corresponding qualifications!
If not handled well, it indicates limited potential; one can only serve as a vanguard general, not a commander.
Peng Lin will not back down from providing the resources, but he will not offer any further assistance either.
After all, the world is never short of geniuses!
Zhang Li and Guan Xiangping shared similar thoughts, so they didn't try to dissuade them.
"no problem!"
Lu Yu readily agreed, understanding Peng Lin's meaning, but he didn't care. After all, Peng Lin was a major client. Although Peng Lin preferred to be a pushover, he could provide the necessary services when needed.
Otherwise, why would they contact you again?
Lu Yu stood up, raised his hand and pressed down in the air, and the scene instantly fell silent. A group of geniuses stared at him, waiting for an answer.
Lu Yu looked around, a helpless smile on his face, and said:
"Actually, I understand how you feel. It's true, it's not really appropriate for me to be sitting here..."
Upon hearing this, many people raised the corners of their mouths, revealing a disdainful smile.
That's it?
Were they just intimidating you, and you rushed out to explain?
As expected, this little guy has a sensitive skin!
However, an apology is useless. No matter what Lu Yu says later, they will ignore him and take the opportunity to kick him off the examiner's seat and send him to the fighting arena to give him a good beating!
"boring!"
Wei Tian reverted to his lazy demeanor, feeling utterly bored and only wanting to see rivers of blood flow!
As for Zhao Wen and Xin Qian, they were also curious about what this recently famous rising star would say.
"Something's not right with this intro..."
Only Helian Tu had a vague feeling that something was wrong. Don't be fooled by his fierce appearance and reckless nature; he was actually incredibly shrewd!
He had watched a lot of videos about Lu Yu and could deduce his general personality from his fighting style. He was definitely not the type to willingly suffer losses!
In other words, it's unlikely they'll back down, but they probably won't dare to take a hard line either.
Therefore, it is highly likely that they will suppress some and win over others, thus disintegrating them from within.
"But I can see, and others can see too, that so many people want to bring you down. How are you going to deal with that?"
Helian Tu, feeling that he had figured out Lu Yu's thoughts, smiled and could already imagine Lu Yu's embarrassed look.
However, Lu Yu, standing on the platform, looked at the group of people on the ground and suddenly changed his tone, saying in a disappointed tone, "But there's nothing we can do, you're all too weak!"
The words fell like a thunderclap from a clear sky, stunning everyone!
Is this guy insane?!
"This...this..."
Helian Tu's confident smile vanished abruptly, replaced by astonishment. Why was he acting so unpredictably again?
They directly mocked him face-to-face!
Zhao Wen and Xin Qian stared wide-eyed, only one thought remaining in their minds:
That's insane!
Holy crap!
Luo Zisong, standing to the side, nearly ripped his own beard off, his expression one of utter astonishment.
You were asked to appease them, not to add fuel to the fire!
If this continues, we'll get ganged up on!
He was about to speak when he heard Lu Yu continue:
"At first, I also wanted to be a test taker, but my respected elder, Principal Luo Zisong, who is sitting next to me, came to persuade me. He said to me earnestly, 'Lu Yu, as the number one high school student in Dayuan City, you can easily sweep these kids away. If you break their mentality and one or two of them become abnormal, I won't be able to explain to the league.'"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Luo Zisong. So this is how arrogant Lu Yu was; it turns out he was the one behind it all!
"I……"
Luo Zisong felt a chill run down his spine. The most crucial thing was that Lu Yu winked at him, meaning that GG had been delivered and Dayuan City's No. 1 High School would be famous from now on. You're welcome!
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
This isn't the kind of fame I want!
Although Luo Zisong really wanted to say "I didn't," it really was him who said it, so there was no point in denying it. He could only force himself to remain calm and force out an ugly smile.
But to others, he was just sitting in a chair with a cane, a contemptuous smile on his face, exuding an air of superiority.
It makes everyone hate it to the core!
If they hadn't been below the Morning Star level, they would have launched a war of attrition!
"Damn it, this kid tricked me!"
Luo Zisong wanted to curse, but could only console himself that as long as Lu Yu wasn't defeated, this guy would soon become famous throughout the border!
He glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and saw that Zhang Li and Guan Xiangping were also dumbfounded!
Especially the latter, how come he never knew that his old rival was such a good actor?
Could it be...?
Was Lu Yu really taught by him?
Such shocked looks greatly satisfied Luo Zisong's vanity.
That's true, if we've offended them, we've offended them!
Anyway, I'm not their peer. At worst, when these guys come to challenge me in the future, I'll just lie and say I'm sick!
As long as I don't fight, you can't climb to the top by stepping on me!
However, among so many people, Legion Commander Peng Lin remained calm.
Luo Zisong was secretly amazed; as expected of a veteran on the battlefield, his mentality was beyond reproach.
Little did anyone know that Peng Lin was simply injured in a previous battle, which caused damage to his facial nerves. Even after repair, there were still aftereffects, commonly known as facial paralysis. That's why he couldn't make facial expressions, but his hands were already trembling slightly.
He really wanted to know how Lu Yu planned to end this.
"So, I think it makes sense. For your safety and for the future of humanity, I am willing to give up my status as a candidate and become an examiner!" After saying that, Lu Yu sighed, his figure desolate, giving the impression that you are the worst class I have ever taught!
A group of people were furious. They had clearly gotten a huge advantage, but the people were standing on the moral high ground, constantly saying that it was all for their own good!
Even if we want to believe it, could you please not turn up the corners of your mouth when you sigh?
Cindy laughed in exasperation and retorted sarcastically, "So we should thank you?"
"You're welcome, it's all for serving the people!"
Lu Yu nodded and said matter-of-factly:
"If you really want to express your gratitude, I won't refuse. After all, it's all a kind gesture from everyone. You can give some resources to Beast Tamers. Others will shamelessly ask for materials like fire or water types, but I'm different. I want everything, but don't give me any trash. This isn't a dumping ground!"
And you, your name is Cindy, right? You're not even half as pretty as me in women's clothes, so don't even think about trying to take advantage of me by offering yourself to me. Ugly, no thanks!
The others were also shocked; how could there be such a shameless person!
Rumble!
Cindy was surrounded by lightning, and her hair was all sticky from the electric current. Usually, she was the one who angered others, but today she was about to be driven crazy by Lu Yu!
I wish I could electrocute this bastard into a lump of charcoal!
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning condensed and roared towards Lu Yu, but Lu Yu only saw this scene and calmly said:
"I almost forgot to mention, attacking an examiner will result in disqualification. These people are really insidious; they just watch you make a mistake and easily eliminate a competitor. Your resources will be taken away by someone else. Falling behind once means falling behind step by step..."
Rumble!
The lightning roared past Lu Yu and struck in the distance, creating a huge crater filled with scorched black marks as it exploded with electricity.
Lu Yu dusted off the corner of his clothes and said condescendingly:
"This time, I can forgive your offense. Aren't you going to thank me?"
"Thank you! Thank you! Examiner Lu!"
Cindy said through gritted teeth, looking at the figure on the metal pillar as if it were an evil monster.
Although she was full of resentment, she did not continue to make a move because she was indeed persuaded.
"Cynthia has completely fallen into their rhythm!"
Seeing this, Zhao Wen was quite amazed by Lu Yu's ability to manipulate people's hearts.
With just a few words, he dispelled most of Cindy's murderous intent and redirected the hatred towards the onlookers, successfully dividing them.
After all, regardless of Lu Yu's strength, he is now an examiner, which is an indisputable fact. He represents the face of the alliance, and the other examiners will not stand idly by when he is attacked.
Anyone with a brain knows that making a move would be a huge loss; it wouldn't even harm Lu Yu, and even later, his candidate status would be revoked.
But they themselves don't benefit at all; they're just doing all the work for others!
This kind of resource, which can purify the bloodline of pet beasts, is rare even within their family; they don't even have enough for their own members.
Even if you can get them, why only take one? Wouldn't it be better to have both?
Only with sufficient foundation can one be qualified to challenge the giants!
"good!"
Helian Tu looked at the calmed-down crowd and nodded to himself. Although he preferred hand-to-hand combat, he would not despise the wisdom of others!
That kind of idiot won't live long!
"But that's precisely why it's so satisfying to beat these so-called smart people down with my fists!" Helian Tu thought to himself.
As for Wei Tian, he didn't pay attention to what Lu Yu said at all, his eyes were fixed on the little spider, and his expression was full of surprise.
What he cared about wasn't beauty, but the mysterious attributes of the Void + Dream system. He originally thought that the Void should be the main element and the Dream system the secondary element!
But in his perception of the [Dream Furnace] puzzle piece, this is definitely a top-tier dream-type pet!
Although the Dream Eater Cult's plan to sink the world into a dream world failed, it gave birth to a pet beast with unlimited potential!
If the remnants of the Dream Eater Cult found out, they'd probably go crazy!
Although a Beast Tamer's first contracted beast cannot be stolen, they can forcibly "welcome" the Holy Son's return!
As for Lu Yu's opinion, it's no longer important!
But it's so sour! This pet is so cool, it's a pity it has such a shameless owner. I hope it doesn't get corrupted...
"Looks like it's coming to an end!"
The others also realized that Lu Yu was using someone else's name to intimidate them, but it was a perfectly legitimate and open scheme, and there was really nothing they could do about it.
Unless they are willing to sacrifice themselves and let others benefit, they can only swallow this loss in silence!
Unfortunately, they were all arrogant and selfish, and Lu Yu had them completely under his control!
So everyone could only console themselves that although Lu Yu was not strong and was arrogant, his methods of using the rules were indeed acceptable, and they could barely accept them.
That's so infuriating!
When I get the chance, I'll definitely put Lu Yu in a sack and beat him up!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhang Li smiled and said:
"Looks like it's over!"
"By striking while the iron is hot, the momentum wanes, and the third attack exhausts their strength, you've effectively dampened their fighting spirit. A brilliant use of military strategy!"
Guan Xiangping nodded approvingly, then glanced at Luo Zisong, who was still striking a pose, and hummed:
"Hmph, you're only slightly luckier than me!"
"Good looks and great talent!"
Luo Zisong answered calmly, secretly delighted. This kid is really awesome. From now on, he can play with anything except my birds!
Especially his granddaughter; as long as Lu Yu asks for her, she'll be sent to his home immediately, even if it costs him money!
Otherwise, this money-devouring beast will be stuck with us!
"Well enough"
Peng Lin nodded slightly upon seeing this, barely passing the test, but unfortunately, while he was brilliant, he lacked courage.
But we can teach him slowly until he takes his shape!
Just as everyone gave up their provocations and prepared to begin the battle of top geniuses, Lu Yu's voice rang out again:
"But... I can give you a chance!"
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent!
"What else does this guy want to do!?"
Everyone's thinking of Lu Yu's PSTD, feeling like it's going to be ruined.
Looking at their expressions, Lu Yu smiled and said:
"Although you are weak, I don't really care what you think, but I don't want my beloved principal to be rumored to have gotten in through connections to help me. It would break my heart, after all, he's a lovely old man, so..."
"Young Master Lu..."
Luo Zisong was deeply moved, but he wanted to explain that he was not old and was an honest man who had not betrayed himself for Lu Yu.
No, I would never do such a thing!
He had a vague suspicion that Lu Yu might be planning...
Lu Yu leaned back, sitting upright in his chair with his sword held high, and said with a playful expression:
"The winner of this genius battle can challenge me in exchange for a Morning Star-tier material!"
"Those who can win a championship must have a strong will and be less likely to become distorted, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar!
"Arrogant!"
"I didn't realize this guy had so much guts. I'll have to respect him a bit more later, but I won't hold back when I beat him up. This guy is just too despicable!"
"I can't believe Lu Yu made such a foolish mistake. Nobody can take this from me now; I'm going to beat him to death!"
"..."
Everyone was full of fighting spirit, and their desire to win the championship was stronger than ever before. It wasn't just for the prize, but also to defeat Lu Yu, who was high above them and like the final boss in the game!
Crush him under your feet!
Even without looking, one can know
What follows will be an unprecedentedly fierce battle!
Like a catfish placed in a fish tank, it stirred up all the energy!
Whether they hate him or respect him, they are all just pawns in his game!
Seeing this scene, and looking at Lu Yu's calm expression, as if everything was under control, Peng Lin had only one thought in his mind:
"A born commander!"
A long chapter of 6,300 words, please vote with monthly tickets! I went back to my hometown for the Dragon Boat Festival and was on the highway the whole time. My head is a little dizzy from writing. I'll fix the typos tomorrow!
(End of this chapter)
