Chapter 54: Sorry, I'm Not Interested in Jia Nan Academy
Seeing that Mo Yu had accepted the challenge, a cold smile appeared on Luo Bu's lips.
"Yu'er, why didn't you stop him? Luo Bu is a four-star Dou Zhe," one of the girls beside Xiao Yu said worriedly, feeling that Luo Bu wouldn't go easy on Mo Yu.
Standing next to Xiao Yu, Xue Ni's bright eyes blinked curiously as she observed the young man who had maintained a calm smile throughout. She wondered if this Mo Yu was truly someone worthy of Xiao Yu's trust.
Pressing her lips together, Xue Ni crossed her arms in front of her chest, causing a deep cleavage to form. A hint of anticipation gleamed in her eyes.
Xiao Yu lazily stretched her arms, and although her chest wasn't exceptionally large, it still formed a proud curve. She casually brushed the hair off her forehead and glanced at Mo Yu's back, saying softly, "We'll see who suffers."
As the two inside the tent prepared to face off, the twenty or so new students sitting outside in the scorching sun also turned their curious gazes toward the impending fight. Most of them were talents from Wu Tan City or nearby towns, and they had either seen or heard of Mo Yu's reputation.
Now, seeing a new student about to take on a senior was quite a novelty.
"Ready?" Luo Bu asked, clearly enjoying the attention as he smirked at Mo Yu, his gaze sweeping over him with a sinister glint.
"Let's get started. It won't take long," Mo Yu replied nonchalantly, his calm tone catching everyone off guard.
"Oh? You seem quite confident," Luo Bu sneered, feeling insulted by Mo Yu's dismissive attitude. Was this kid looking down on him?
With a cold laugh, Luo Bu suddenly lunged forward, his right fist tightly clenched. Yellow Dou Qi gathered around it, and with the force of solid earth, he aimed a powerful punch at Mo Yu's head.
"Earth attribute Dou Qi, huh…" Mo Yu muttered, slightly lifting his eyelids as he watched the fist rapidly approach. He shook his head, and just before the punch landed, he extended his hand, intercepting Luo Bu's fist.
Mo Yu's hand stopped the punch dead in its tracks, not moving an inch. It was as if the immense force behind Luo Bu's punch had been absorbed into a bottomless pit, leaving no trace of impact.
"You're too weak. Use all your strength; I'll give you one more chance to attack," Mo Yu said, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery.
The young man's lightly mocking words left everyone around him dumbfounded. They stared in disbelief at the point of contact between the fist and the hand, finding it hard to believe that a new student had so effortlessly blocked the attack of a four-star Dou Zhe.
"Bastard! You're asking for it!" Luo Bu roared, his graceful demeanor gone as his face turned red with anger. He stomped his right foot on the ground, propelling himself into the air. With a spin, yellow Dou Qi surged around his right hand, forming a faint, earthen wall of energy that covered his hand. He then viciously smashed it down toward Mo Yu's head.
"Earth Burial Palm!"
"Shameless! He's using 'Earth Burial Palm'! That's a mid-level Xuan-class Dou Technique! How could he be so shameless?" the female students shouted in anger as they saw the faint earthen wall covering Luo Bu's hand.
Seeing Luo Bu's actions, Xiao Yu frowned slightly, but then relaxed. After all, even Liu Xi's Beast Flame hadn't been able to defeat Mo Yu.
As Luo Bu's menacing attack descended, Mo Yu remained calm. He slowly raised his hand, aiming it at the rapidly approaching Luo Bu.
"It's over," Mo Yu whispered, and in an instant, ten lightning marks lit up on his right arm. With a soft cry, a fierce, invisible force of thunderous Dou Qi surged from Mo Yu's hand and collided with Luo Bu's incoming attack.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous crash, Luo Bu's Earth Burial Palm shattered like a collapsing mountain, and Mo Yu's punch didn't stop there. It continued its unyielding advance toward Luo Bu's chest.
Struck by the powerful blow, Luo Bu's cold expression turned pale as he was violently thrown backward, blood spurting from his mouth.
"Bang."
After being hurled more than ten meters away, Luo Bu's body crashed heavily onto the scorching stone ground. His chest tightened, his vision went black, and he fainted on the spot.
From Luo Bu's aggressive attack to his sudden, inexplicable defeat, only about ten seconds had passed.
As everyone took in the sight of the quick and decisive outcome, silence fell over the tent and the area outside.
"His reputation is well-deserved… What terrifying talent," the new and old female students thought to themselves, their eyes fixed on Mo Yu with shock.
"Yu'er, what level is your fiancé's strength? Judging by what we just saw, he's at least a six- or seven-star Dou Zhe, right?" one of the girls beside Xiao Yu stammered, still in disbelief as she looked at the young man in green.
Effortlessly defeating a senior with the strength of a four-star Dou Zhe indicated that Mo Yu's power was far beyond that of an ordinary low-star Dou Zhe. Coupled with his age, it was an incredibly impressive feat.
Xiao Yu smiled sweetly, her eyes filled with deep admiration as she gazed at Mo Yu in the middle of the arena. "About that, yes. But his strength is increasing quickly. A year ago, he was still at the Dou Qi stage."
"What!? A year ago?" Xue Ni and the other female students exclaimed, their eyes widening in shock as they stared at Mo Yu. Such rapid progress, without any signs of unstable Dou Qi, could only mean that his talent was extraordinarily terrifying.
Some of them couldn't help but wonder if they were witnessing the rise of another monstrous talent, like those on the academy's inner strong ranking.
As they pondered this, Mo Yu glanced at Luo Bu, who had been easily dealt with, and sneered. "Is that all it takes to chase after Xiao Yu? After this lesson, he won't dare to bother her again. But if he does, I won't hesitate to make him disappear."
With that trouble dealt with, Mo Yu was ready to leave. After all, he hadn't come to participate in the Jia Nan Academy's entrance exam.
However, just as he was about to say his goodbyes to Xiao Yu and the others, a soft, gentle female voice, warm enough to melt the heart, echoed from within the tent, followed by a light laugh.
"Hehe, this young man has impressive talent. It looks like I might have found a real treasure this time."
As the voice trailed off, a mature, voluptuous woman in green stepped out with a charming smile. Her graceful presence was like a soothing stream, calming everyone's hearts.
The moment she appeared, the male youths inside and outside the tent couldn't help but stare at her with heated gazes…
Mo Yu's eyes also briefly flashed with desire, but he quickly suppressed it, regaining his calm expression.
Looking at the mature and gentle woman, Mo Yu said softly, "Sorry, but I'm not interested in Jia Nan Academy."
