Douluo: One man returns, Fan Tianyin smashes Tang San to death

This time, he could clearly feel that this spiritual fluctuation was emanating from a young girl.

"who is it?"

Lu Yu was secretly alert in his heart. At the same time, his mental power quietly spread out and enveloped the source of the mental fluctuations.

However, when his mental power was about to touch the mental fluctuation, the mental fluctuation seemed to have sensed something and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"So fast!"

Feeling the disappearance of that spiritual fluctuation, Lu Yu couldn't help but be slightly startled.

You know, his mental power is already very strong. Even a Titled Douluo-level strong man would find it difficult to hide his body under his mental power detection. However, that girl can do it easily. It can be seen that her mental power is definitely not simple.

Seeing Lu Yu suddenly stop and look serious, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"It's okay, let's go!"

Lu Yu withdrew his mental strength and said lightly.

Although he was curious about the girl's identity and origins, Lu Yu did not show it. After all, this was the Star Dou Great Forest, which was full of dangers, and he did not want to put himself in danger because of his curiosity.

In the following time, Lu Yu and Xiao Wu continued to move forward, however, the mental fluctuation seemed to have completely disappeared and never appeared again.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

One day, Lu Yu and Xiao Wu came to a quiet valley.

This valley is very hidden and surrounded by dense trees. It is difficult to find it unless you look for it specifically.

"Xiao Wu, wait here for me, I'll go take a look ahead!"

Standing at the entrance of the valley, Lu Yu gave Xiao Wu some instructions, then he moved forward into the depths of the valley.

"Well, Brother Lu Yu, be careful!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Xiao Wu nodded and began to give instructions.

Lu Yu walked forward and soon arrived deep in the valley.

In the center of the valley, there is a clear lake. The water is so clear that you can see schools of fish swimming happily in the lake.

Next to the lake, there is a dense bamboo forest. In the bamboo forest, a figure is standing there quietly, motionless, as if it has merged into the surrounding bamboo forest.

Seeing this figure, Lu Yu couldn't help but be slightly startled, because this figure was exactly the mysterious girl he had sensed before.

The girl was wearing a green dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders and a beautiful face. She looked like a fairy walking out of a painting, stunning.

What was most shocking was that there was not a single breath emanating from this girl, as if she was not a living person at all.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Lu Yu asked slowly.

However, in response to Lu Yu's question, the girl seemed not to have heard it and still stood there quietly.

The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the sky a brilliant red. Lu Yu walked lightly along the winding path, slowly walking towards the lake. There was a bit of thought in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had a new understanding on the path of cultivation. As he approached, the fish that occasionally jumped up on the lake seemed to feel the tranquility and harmony, and dived into the water, leaving only circles of ripples that slowly spread out.

"Hu——" Lu Yu took a deep breath, as if to take all the freshness of nature into his chest, then found a place, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began his daily meditation. His mental power was like an invisible thread, quietly spreading out, trying to establish a connection with everything around him and feel the pulse of nature. However, just as his mental power was about to touch the lake, an inexplicable force gently blocked his exploration, like a mist that suddenly appeared on the lake, hazy and mysterious.

Lu Yu was slightly startled, and then he opened his eyes and searched the lake. At this moment, he noticed the girl in a light blue dress standing quietly on the other side of the lake, with her back to him, staring at the lake, as if she was also performing some special ceremony. The girl's figure blended into the surrounding scenery, appearing particularly harmonious, which made Lu Yu feel an urge to get closer.

"Is it her?" Lu Yu was secretly surprised, recalling the previous encounters with the girl by the lake. Every time, when his mental power tried to get closer, he encountered the same obstacle. This strange feeling made him have a strong interest in the girl.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu decided to take the initiative to step forward, perhaps he could get some answers from her. He stood up and walked slowly towards the girl along the lake. Every step he took seemed extremely careful, for fear of disturbing this rare tranquility.

"Hi, hello." Lu Yu stopped not far from the girl and greeted her with a smile. His voice was gentle and friendly, trying to get closer to them.

The girl turned around, and a pretty face came into view, with a mixture of curiosity and vigilance in her eyes. She bowed slightly, as a response: "Hello, I'm Shui Ling'er, you seem to be very interested in this place?"

"Shui Ling'er, what a nice name." Lu Yu praised, and then changed the subject, "In fact, I have noticed you for a long time. Every time I come here, my mental power will encounter obstacles with you. I am very curious, how do you do it?"

Shui Ling'er smiled faintly when she heard this, and a cunning look flashed in her eyes: "Oh? Your mental power is very strong, and you can sense my existence. However, this is my secret, I'm afraid I can't tell you casually."

Lu Yu was not discouraged, but became more curious: "Everyone has their own secrets, I understand. But I believe that communication can always lead to growth. Perhaps, we can share some of our experiences with each other and make progress together?"

Shui Ling'er was silent for a moment, as if she was weighing something. Finally, she nodded, but the condition was: "I can tell you something, but you also have to tell me why you are so obsessed with spiritual power?"

Lu Yu readily agreed and began to tell his story: "In fact, I have always longed to become a powerful soul master. For me, the strength of spiritual power is the key to a higher realm. Moreover, I always feel that the improvement of spiritual power can help me better understand the world and even predict the future."

Shui Ling'er listened quietly, with a hint of approval in her eyes from time to time: "You have great ambitions. As for me, I want to protect this lake. This is where my childhood memories are and a promise is made. My spiritual power is used to protect this place and not let anyone or anything destroy its tranquility."

"I see." Lu Yu suddenly realized, "Then, how did you do it? Is there any special technique, or..." Shui Ling'er shook her head gently and interrupted Lu Yu: "Skills are only part of it, what's more important is the mentality. You need to learn to live in harmony with nature, feel its breath, and listen to its voice. When your mind is integrated with nature, you will understand what true spiritual power is."

Lu Yu nodded thoughtfully, and an unprecedented feeling surged in his heart. He suddenly realized that his previous cultivation might have been too eager for quick success and ignored the connection with nature.

"Thank you, Shui Ling'er. You made me understand a lot." Lu Yu thanked sincerely.

Shui Ling'er smiled slightly, with a gentle light in her eyes: "You're welcome, we are just helping each other. In the future, if you are willing, you can come here often, we can practice together and explore the mysteries of spiritual power together."

"Of course!" Lu Yu responded excitedly.

In the early morning, in Tiandou Royal Academy, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkles on the bluestone path, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this ancient academy. The hall of the academy is bustling with people, and students gather in groups of three or five, excitedly discussing the upcoming annual competition.

"Have you heard? The prize money and rewards for this year's college competition are exceptionally generous!" A young man in a blue school uniform said to his friend beside him, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Oh? Really? Then I have to prepare well, maybe I can win the championship in one fell swoop!" His good friend, a strong and muscular young man patted his chest and responded confidently.

"Don't brag about winning the championship in one fell swoop. You have to get past me first!" another tall and thin boy joked. The three of them smiled at each other and the atmosphere was harmonious.

At this time, a towering arena had been built in the square of the academy. The arena was surrounded by various soul guides as decorations, shining with dazzling light. In the center of the arena, a huge banner fluttered in the wind, with the words "Tiandou Royal Academy Annual Competition" written on it in golden font.

As a melodious bell rang, teachers and students of the college rushed to the square. For a moment, the square was crowded and bustling.

"Please be quiet!" A majestic and loud voice sounded above the square, and an old man in gorgeous robes slowly walked onto the stage. His eyes were deep and wise. He was the dean of Tiandou Royal Academy - Flanders.

Dean Flanders cleared his throat and continued, "Dear students and teachers, the annual college competition is about to begin. This year's competition is not only a test of your personal strength, but also a display of the overall strength of our Tiandou Royal College. Therefore, the college has specially increased the amount of bonuses and rewards. I hope everyone can go all out and show their best!"

"Wow!" After hearing this, the students in the audience exclaimed in amazement, with an even brighter light flashing in their eyes.

"Okay, without further ado, I will now announce the rules of the competition." Dean Flanders said solemnly, "The competition is divided into three stages: preliminary round, semi-final and final. The preliminary round will be a draw, the semi-final will be a group competition based on the preliminary round results, and the final will be the ultimate showdown of the strongest. In each game, both sides have three chances to admit defeat. Once they admit defeat, the game will end immediately. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to use any prohibited items or means in the game. Once discovered, the qualification for the competition will be immediately disqualified and severely punished!"

"Understood!" The students in the audience responded in unison, the sound was deafening.

"Okay, let's start the draw for the preliminary round now!" Dean Flanders waved his hand, and suddenly, the soul guides around the arena began to flash dazzling light, and light balls flew out of the soul guides and hovered in the air.

The students stepped forward and reached out to touch the ball of light, which then turned into a piece of paper with the opponent and competition venue written on it.

"I drew court number three, and my opponent is Li Si!" a student shouted excitedly.

"I drew venue number five, and my opponent is..." Another student also checked his own note.

For a moment, the square was filled with the students' cheers and discussions.

At the same time, in a quiet little courtyard in a corner of the academy, a girl in a white dress was sitting quietly in front of the window, holding a delicate pen in her hand, sketching something on a piece of paper. The sunlight shone through the window onto her body, coating her with a layer of golden light.

This girl is none other than Xiao Wu, the best student in Tiandou Royal Academy. She not only has a beautiful face, but also has outstanding strength and wisdom.

"Xiao Wu, the competition is about to begin, why don't you go and get ready?" A crisp voice sounded outside the door, and a girl in a pink miniskirt pushed the door open. It was Xiao Wu's good friend, Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, you're here." Xiao Wu looked up at Ning Rongrong and smiled slightly, "I'm ready, I'm just thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about? You look so engrossed." Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

"I'm wondering which dark horses will appear in this year's competition?" Xiao Wu said softly, "After all, in every competition, there will be some students who are usually unknown and make a big splash in the competition."

"That's true." Ning Rongrong nodded, "But I believe we can make it to the end."

"Yeah, I believe it too." Xiao Wu said firmly, "Let's go, let's go watch the game together."

As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the courtyard hand in hand and headed towards the square.

At this time, on the stage in the square, the first match of the preliminary round has officially begun.

"Both players, take your positions!" the referee shouted.

On both sides of the ring, two students had already taken their positions. They each assumed a fighting stance, their eyes filled with solemnity and determination.

"The game begins!" Following the referee's order, the two students launched attacks almost at the same time.

For a moment, the arena was full of light, soul skills intertwined, and the scene was extremely intense. The audience in the audience also widened their eyes, afraid to miss any wonderful moment.

After a fierce competition, a student in green school uniform successfully defeated his opponent with outstanding soul skills and tactics and won the game.

"Good!" The audience applauded and cheered, cheering for the winner.

As the preliminary rounds progressed, more and more dark horses began to emerge, some of them relying on their outstanding strength, and some relying on clever tactics, and they all achieved excellent results in the competition.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong sat in the audience, watching every game quietly. Sometimes they applauded and cheered for the players' wonderful performances, and sometimes they sighed with regret for the players' mistakes. (End of this chapter)
