Chapter 157 The Little Deer Who Fooled the Demon Ancestor
Chapter 157 The Little Deer Who Fooled the Demon Ancestor
The final result of the competition was unclear to the boys whose eyes were blinded by the light.
But when they regained their sight, they only saw Lu Yu, exhausted and collapsed on the ground, and Zhou Ping, who was panting but had bright and eager eyes, standing not far away looking at the girl on the ground as if she were a piece of shining gold.
Wow, that's amazing!
The Sword Saint was forced back more than ten steps.
"...No...I can't...Teacher Zhou...I have no strength left..."
The girl waved her hand, strongly demanding that the competition be stopped.
Seeing Lu Yu's exhausted appearance, Zhou Ping knew he couldn't continue and reluctantly sheathed his sword.
…………
Lu Yu knew that he had already lost.
This sword strike was indeed a desperate and unstoppable attack.
However, it also has a drawback.
Just now, Zhou Ping actually cleaved Lu Yu's "rebirth" back to its original form with a single sword strike!
The water-repelling beads scattered, carrying the already formed blazing sun, and vanished into nothingness.
Lu Yu was stunned and stood there, forgetting to even defend himself against Zhou Ping's longsword attack.
[“Idiot, snap out of it.”]
Luo Hou's voice exploded in her mind, making the girl react immediately. She quickly withdrew her newly formed blade and retreated, dissipating Zhou Ping's attack.
[“What sword techniques could that golden crow possibly teach you? His natal weapon isn't even a sword. If it were me back then, I could have finished him off in ten moves!”]
Luo Hou was still there, praising the powerful and belittling the weak, while Lu Yu listened helplessly:
"Lord Demon Ancestor, you also know that Master Taiyi's natal weapon is not a sword... and that you were once the master of the Four Swords of Zhuxian... yes, yes, you were also the master of the God-Slaying Spear..."
"Ah, yes, yes... You're the most amazing... You're so amazing that you were sealed away by the Dao Ancestor for so many years, yet you still had to condescend to my humble temple..."
At first, Luo Hou was quite pleased with Lu Yu's praise, but as he thought about it more and more, he realized something was wrong:
[Are you mocking me?]
hee hee~
The girl didn't continue speaking, but simply tilted her head: "I didn't~ I was just telling the truth..."
["You don't believe I'm stronger?"]
Luo Hou was furious upon hearing this, almost jumping up in Lu Yu's mental sea again, but was then stared at by the system's death gaze, causing him to choke, yet he still stubbornly continued to curse:
[“…Lu Yu, you just wait! I’ll show you what true swordsmanship is all about!!!”]
Lu Yu's eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something, and he chuckled to himself.
Lord Demon Ancestor...
After fighting with the Dao Ancestor for so many years, how come you're falling for even a provocation?
So I've just gotten a free teacher!
She will eventually have to grow up faster...
Especially after this competition with Zhou Ping, Lu Yu became even more convinced of this idea.
Even if it's the Divine Cult and my own swordsmanship, it's still useless in the face of true strength.
To grow in this area... the Tongtian Sect Leader is naturally the best choice, but one can only have the opportunity to visit him at night.
Moreover, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. Rather than seeking out Tongtian, who might never be seen, Lu Yu would rather deceive the Demon Ancestor who is inside his own body.
Moreover, the Zhuxian Sword Formation in Tongtian's possession originally belonged to Luo Hou, but was taken away by Hongjun after his defeat in the battle between the Dao and the Demonic Path.
Then Hongjun gave his old rival's treasure to his third disciple.
Therefore, the Demon Ancestor disliked Tongtian the most for taking away his treasure.
But what does this have to do with Lu Yu?
She's just a cow or horse whose edges have been smoothed out by learning.
And this excellent bull and horse has already begun to learn to give themselves extra lessons!
…………
Over the next few days, Lin Qiye and his companions spent their time reading, carrying water on their heads, competing, and being unilaterally beaten.
It was only after this that they finally realized the difference between themselves and true powerhouses.
At first, Zhou Ping could easily defeat them, but now they can hold their own against him for a few moves.
Only now did they finally realize the Sword Saint's favoritism.
Why is it that Lu Yu's matches are just a gradual increase in strength, while theirs are a complete defeat?
Especially when he saw that Zhou Ping even wanted to start teaching Lu Yu the sword techniques he had learned from the novel.
If it weren't for that bastard who couldn't understand the fictional techniques in those novels, Zhou Ping might have already improvised and made Lu Yu become his disciple.
Others: ...Is this the difference between a biological father and a stepfather?
Coach, I want to learn that too!
Love me again!
Zhou Ping, immersing himself in the role like someone from a novel: "A bunch of brats, one slap each, stay away from my daughter!!"
Especially you, Lin Qiye, Xiaolu went back in time to protect you all, and you, this troublesome bastard, have suffered countless injuries!
When it was time for the sparring session arranged by Zhou Ping—
Lin Qiye gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Yu, who was drinking freshly squeezed juice not far away, with a displeased expression: "Senior Sword Saint, why isn't Lu Yu participating in this competition?"
He had been putting up with the little rascal hanging around in front of him for a long time and was just looking for a chance to teach him a lesson. He finally got the opportunity to compete with him, but Lu Yu actually became the referee?
Lu Yu sat under the parasol that Biluo had set up there and waved to Lin Qiye: "Good luck! Friendship first, competition second, I believe in you guys~"
Even Cao Yuan, who was known for his good temper towards young girls, glanced at the shady spot with a hint of envy.
Only Jialan glanced at Lin Qiye, puzzled, and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Little deer is working so hard, can't she take a break?
A bunch of bad guys!
The girl raised the [Heavenly Palace] in her hand, its tip gleaming with a cold light, immediately silencing the others.
Can't afford to provoke...
The little deer can't beat them, and it seems like Garan can't beat them either...
Lu Yu sat down and watched as several people began one-on-one matches not far away. Zhou Ping, who was sitting next to her and looking towards the arena, glanced at her.
"You are very happy?"
Lu Yuxiao: "Mm!"
Because I've never seen it before...
This scene wasn't in the original story...
"Actually... I wanted to ask you..."
Zhou Ping glanced at Lu Yu's face, pursed his lips, and still couldn't help but ask her if she had really experienced ten reincarnations.
But wouldn't asking like that be too offensive?
After thinking for a long time, the young man finally decided to ask tactfully:
"How old are you this year?"
Is she three and a half years old?
Lu Yu: ? ? ?
She was about to say something when she suddenly heard a crackling sound of electricity from the system in her mind—
[Notification: A special signal has been received, a request from a consciousness in another world. Do you wish to accept it?]
Lu Yu: Meow meow meow?
WTF?
[Recommendation accepted. World ID: BS0083. Request objective: To save the collapsing world line.]
"No, Speaker, I remember I was a fictionalist, right? How did I become a savior?"
The system sighed helplessly:
The reason I suggest you accept this is because this world is connected to you.
[In the BS0083 world, the world line collapsed, and humanity became extinct. The ultimate cause of this outcome was a unique species native to that world—the Cursed Spirits.]
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu, disregarding the presence of others, abruptly stood up: "What?"
---------
That's all for today's update.
The vote count for the dungeon has ended, and the final dungeon for the Curse Return event has been determined.
It starts tomorrow.
