Chapter 1815 The Iconic Red Hair
Ruan Yu looked at the somewhat familiar features of the newcomer but didn't recognize him for a moment.
But that signature red hair, and that provocative tone...
"You are... Lou Xu?"
Ruan Yu spoke hesitantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xu visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so kind of you to still remember me. I thought I would never have the chance to see you again in this lifetime!"
“Back then, after we parted ways in the virtual world, you ascended to the upper realm without even saying goodbye. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you?” Yan Xu grabbed Gu Xing and plopped down in Gu Xing’s seat.
He continued chatting away with Ruan Yu, seemingly oblivious to his own thoughts.
Gu Xing pointed to his nose in disbelief, "No? You don't take me seriously at all!"
"I don't know," Ruan Yu replied honestly.
Yan Xu looked at her resentfully: "Later, I learned that you had ascended, so I also accelerated my cultivation and ascended to the Upper Realm. And then guess what? During a training trip, I happened to meet people from the Yan family of the Ancient Dao Continent. They saw that I looked a lot like an elder, so they brought me back."
"I never imagined that one day I, Lou Xu, would become a rich young master!"
"Congratulations," Ruan Yu said.
"You've been so busy talking about me, what's wrong with you?" Yan Xu glanced meaningfully at the Gu family group.
"Could you be a descendant of the Gu family who was separated from his family?" Ruan Yu didn't speak, so Yan Xu guessed for himself.
"Go away, go away, go to the side!" Gu Xing thought, and since Yan Xu had been sitting for long enough, he pulled him up and sat down himself.
"You brat, believe me or not, I'll beat you so badly you'll be begging for your daddy in the ring later!" Yan Xu was very annoyed. He had finally reunited with Ruan Yu, but the occasion prevented them from catching up.
Gu Xing is still causing trouble on the side!
“I’m your father!” Gu Xing retorted defiantly.
Yan Xu raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Remember your arrogant face now. Just wait and see if I beat you up or not! With Gu Tian gone, your Gu family will definitely come in last place this time!"
In the past, with Gu Tian around, the Gu family wouldn't have lost so badly, ranking second to last.
The Yan family fell to the bottom.
But with Gu Tian gone this year, the Yan family is finally about to turn things around!
"The match is about to start, let's talk after the match," Ruan Yu said, temporarily calming the anger of the two.
"Okay." After many years, Yan Xu still listened to Ruan Yu.
He winked at Ruan Yu, "I'll come find you after I win the match!"
Gu Xing clenched his fist with a crisp sound: "Get lost!"
Isn't this guy disgusting? It's one thing to flirt with other girls, but he even flirted with his master!
Fortunately, my master didn't fall for that.
Gu Xing didn't want such a perfect master to be taken advantage of by a pig.
In the first individual competition, representatives from the Gusu family (last year's first and second place winners) and the Yuan family will compete against each other.
Ruan Yu glanced around; the highest cultivation level among her disciples was only at the second level of the Divine Realm. In her eyes, this battle was no different from children playing house.
She forced herself to watch a few games, but when she got too tired and there was no danger around, she sent a wisp of her consciousness into the space to study the ancient runes.
If you can't break through in cultivation level, then break through in other ways. Ancient runes are powerful and can be used by various professions.
When drawn on medicinal pills and used properly, it can greatly increase the efficacy of the medicine.
The image is drawn within the formation, making the formation unpredictable and impossible to defend against!
……
One family sent out ten outstanding disciples to spar, and after a morning, the Gusu family had won almost completely.
"The summoners are still too strong! The summoners from the Gusu family won the game easily without even having to make a move."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
"Because their cultivation levels are similar, and the strength of soul beasts is superior to that of humans, there's simply no way to fight them!"
"Unless the opponent's cultivation level is two to three levels higher than the summoner's, or you encounter a summoned beast of average strength."
"How easy is that? The Gusu family will definitely send out their strongest members. How could they possibly encounter a summoned beast of average strength?"
Finally, it was the turn of the Gu family and the Yan family.
"Master, I'm sure I'll win the match, right?" Gu Xing watched the first ten matches and felt his blood boiling!
Turning around, I found that Ruan Yu had fallen asleep at some point.
"..." Gu Xing was helpless and didn't know how to wake Ruan Yu.
However, there's still some time before his match, so hopefully his master will wake up before the match!
"Gu Xing, do you dare to fight me?" Yan Xu was incredibly arrogant, and he came over to provoke Gu Xing again before going on stage.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Gu Xing was originally going to fight Yan Xu.
Among the young disciples of the Yan family, Yan Xu's strength is undoubtedly the strongest.
As the future heir of the Gu family, Gu Xing naturally had to fight for the family's honor!
"Okay, you're a real man." Yan Xu thought Gu Xing would be a coward like he had been in the previous sparring sessions!
He was very satisfied with this reply.
The elders strongly disapproved of Gu Xing's impulsive decision: "Xing'er, Yan Xu's strength is far inferior to his peers. Anyone who faces him will lose. Sending just any junior disciple is not enough. You have more important matches to play."
"Yes, Xing'er, you must not act impulsively, impulsiveness is the devil."
Faced with the elders' persuasion, Gu Xing became even more confident: "Elders, please stop trying to persuade me. I believe I can win."
"But……"
"If even you don't believe in me, then there's no point in this sparring match." Gu Xing said deliberately, feigning anger. "Since you all don't think highly of me and believe everyone is better than me, right? Then what's the point of the competition? Just admit defeat!"
The elders were at their wits' end with him: "Alright, alright, we believe you."
"Go, Xing'er! Make sure you beat Yan Xu so badly he's running away with his tail between his legs!"
It's just a friendly competition among the four major families; it doesn't involve any vested interests.
It's okay to be at the bottom of the class.
Gu Xing was unaware of what the elders were thinking. He assumed they all believed he could defeat Yan Xu, and he felt quite pleased with himself.
In nine matches, the Yan family won five and lost four.
There's only one game left, and Gu Xing is under immense pressure.
If he loses, the Gu family will have no chance in the next round, and they will definitely be last. Conversely, if they win, the order can be reversed, and another match can be played.
We must win!
Gu Xing was in a state of turmoil. Before going on stage, he glanced in Ruan Yu's direction.
But Ruan Yu had already opened her eyes.
She stared straight at him and mouthed, "You will win."
Gu Xing was greatly encouraged and suddenly felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
He strode onto the ring and calmly met Yan Xu's gaze.
"What's your relationship with her?" Yan Xu had been watching Gu Xing and Ruan Yu's interaction. He felt a strange, indescribable emotion; in short, his chest felt heavy.
"Beat me, and I'll tell you." Gu Xing clenched his fist with one hand and beckoned to Yan Xu provocatively with the other.
"Then let's finish this quickly!" Yan Xu's heart felt like it had been scratched by a cat; he was eager to know the answer.
