"Junior Lu Yu, you are the youngest in this exchange group, but you are the strongest among us. You have to be more patient." At this time, a young man in fiery red clothes walked up to Lu Yu and said with a smile.

The young man's name is Huo Wushuang. He is the son of the dean of Chihuo Academy, one of the five elemental academies. He is quite powerful and is also well-known among the younger generation.

Hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Senior Huo Wushuang is too polite. I will do my best to contribute to this exchange."

Huo Wushuang heard this, patted Lu Yu on the shoulder, and said: "Great! I feel relieved with what you said. By the way, I heard that you have made a new breakthrough in your cultivation recently. I wonder when you can spar with us?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu shook his head and said, "Senior Huo Wushuang, you are too kind. I just got lucky and gained some insights. It is far from being a breakthrough. As for the exchange, I will definitely accompany you after this exchange is over."

Huo Wushuang laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "Okay! Then it's settled. After this discussion, I will fight you for three hundred rounds!"

As the two were talking, members of the royal family and other representatives from the five elemental academies came over. After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone prepared to set off.

Emperor Xue Ye stood on the tower, looking at the exchange group below, and said loudly: "This time when you go to the Xingluo Empire for exchange, you must work together to show the style of our Tiandou Empire! I am here, waiting for your triumphant return!"

"Yes!" Everyone in the exchange group responded in unison, then turned around and stepped onto the carriage, heading towards the Xing Luo Empire.

……

Along the way, everyone in the exchange group talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Lu Yu and Meng Shenji sat in a carriage, both of them practicing in silence.

Lu Yu closed his eyes and concentrated, his soul power surged, constantly impacting the meridians in his body.

Since his last breakthrough at Blue Bully Academy, Lu Yu's strength has improved again, but he is not satisfied with this. Instead, he practices even harder, hoping to make another breakthrough before the exchange begins.

Meng Shenji sat cross-legged, holding a strange seal in his hand and muttering something.

He was using a secret method to amplify his soul guide, hoping to increase his strength a little more so that he could better protect Lu Yu during the communication.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the exchange group arrived at the border of the Xing Luo Empire.

"Everyone, we have entered the territory of the Xingluo Empire. Please be careful." The voice of a royal member came from outside the carriage.

Hearing this, Lu Yu opened his eyes and looked out the window, only to see an unfamiliar scene.

The architectural style of the Xingluo Empire is very different from that of the Tiandou Empire. It is more rugged and bold, giving people a feeling of blood boiling.

"Have we finally arrived at the Xing Luo Empire?" Lu Yu whispered to himself.

Hearing this, Meng Shenji opened his eyes, looked at Lu Yu, and said, "Lu Yu, you must be careful in this exchange. The Xingluo Empire has been secretly competing with our Tiandou Empire, and this time they will definitely find ways to suppress us."

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded and said, "Teacher Meng Shenji, don't worry, I know what to do."

Just then, the carriage suddenly stopped and there was a noise outside.

Lu Yu and Meng Shenji looked at each other, then walked out of the carriage, only to see a group of people in black surrounding the communication group not far ahead.

"Who are you? How dare you stop our Tiandou Empire's exchange group!" a member of the royal family shouted.

The man in black laughed loudly upon hearing this, and said, "Who are we? You don't need to know! You just need to know that none of you will leave alive today!"

As he spoke, the man in black began to attack. For a moment, the sound of swords and sabers flashed and the sound of killing shook the sky.

"Hmph! You're looking for death!" Meng Shenji snorted coldly, then his figure flashed and he rushed into the group of people in black and started killing.

Lu Yu stood in place, looking coldly at the man in black in front of him, his soul power surging in his body, ready to take action at any time.

At this moment, a man in black suddenly rushed towards Lu Yu, waving a big knife in his hand with a fierce gust of wind.

Seeing this, Lu Yu did not retreat but advanced, the soul power in his body burst out, and he punched out!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black-clothed man's sword was smashed into pieces by Lu Yu's punch, and the whole man was blown away by the huge force and fell heavily to the ground, his life or death unknown.

"What a strong strength!" The black-clothed men around were shocked when they saw this, and there was a bit more fear in their eyes when they looked at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu didn't even look at the man in black who fell to the ground, and his eyes were still coldly scanning the men in black around him.

"Let's go together! Kill him!" a man in black shouted.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding men in black rushed towards Lu Yu, trying to overwhelm Lu Yu with their numerical advantage.

Seeing this, Lu Yu curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, then suddenly jumped up, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, and started killing.

For a moment, Lu Yu's figure was seen constantly shuttling among the men in black, with fists flying everywhere. Each punch contained terrifying power, which blasted the men in black away one after another.

But in just a moment, the originally aggressive men in black were either dead or injured, lying on the ground wailing.

"Hmph! You don't know your own limitations!" Lu Yu snorted coldly, then turned and looked at Meng Shenji.

Meng Shenji was also covered in blood at this time, but his expression was still calm, and it was obvious that he was not affected too much.

"Teacher Meng Shenji, are you okay?" Lu Yu asked.

Meng Shenji shook his head and said, "I'm fine. But these men in black are quite powerful. It seems they came prepared."

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded and said, "That's right. These men in black should be sent by the Xing Luo Empire to prevent us from entering the Xing Luo Empire."

Hearing this, Meng Shenji frowned and said, "What should we do now? If we continue to move forward, I'm afraid we will encounter more obstacles."

Hearing this, Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Keep going! We can't be intimidated by threats! Besides, I also want to see what tricks the Xing Luo Empire is up to!"

Hearing this, Meng Shenji looked at Lu Yu's determined eyes, and a sense of heroism surged in his heart. He said, "Okay! Then let's move on! I want to see what the Xingluo Empire can do to me!"

As they spoke, the two of them led the exchange group and continued to move towards the capital of the Xingluo Empire.

Along the way, they encountered several attempts by men in black, but they were all defeated one by one by Lu Yu and Meng Shenji.

After several days of traveling, the exchange group finally arrived at the capital of the Xingluo Empire, Xingluo City. Xingluo City is magnificent, with tall and thick city walls and various ferocious animal patterns carved on the city gates, giving people a sense of majesty and solemnity.

Everyone in the exchange group stood outside the city gate, looking at the Xingluo City in front of them, and they all felt a sense of emotion in their hearts.

"Is this Xingluo City? It really lives up to its reputation." Huo Wushuang looked at Xingluo City in front of him and whispered to himself.

Lu Yu also looked at Xingluo City in front of him, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes. This communication would never be that simple.

At this moment, the city gate slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes walked out of the city with a team of soldiers.

"Welcome the exchange group from the Tiandou Empire to Xingluo City! I am the Minister of Rites of the Xingluo Empire, and I have come here on the orders of His Majesty to greet you all!" the middle-aged man said loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the exchange group bowed and saluted, saying, "Thank you."

"Is everyone here?" At the city gate, the captain of the Xiangjia Academy student team, Hu Yanli, spoke in a rough voice. He was so big that when he stood there, he looked like a small mountain.

"Captain Huyan, the people from Tiandou Royal Academy haven't arrived yet." A tall and thin young man said. He was the vice-captain of the Blazing Academy team. Captain Huo Wushuang was standing next to him, looking towards the city gate.

"What are these guys doing? Don't they know the time to gather?" Hu Yanli said dissatisfiedly.

Huo Wushuang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Huyan, please be patient. We are here to participate in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition. As one of the organizers, Tiandou Royal Academy must be a bit arrogant. Moreover, we are a seeded team, so it is natural for us to be late."

"Pretentious? Seeded team?" Hu Yanli snorted coldly, "Brother Huo, I don't think they are stronger than us. In the last competition, they didn't even make it to the quarterfinals. If they didn't have the advantage of home court this time, how could they be the seeded team?"

Huo Wushuang smiled calmly and said, "No matter what, they are the organizer after all. Brother Huyan, you have to be more restrained and don't let this little thing affect our mood for participating in the competition."

Hu Yanli chuckled and said, "Brother Huo, don't worry. Although I, Hu Yanli, have a blunt temper, I can still distinguish the importance of things. However, if you go too far, I won't be polite. Let's talk based on our own abilities."

At this time, many people had gathered at the city gate. In addition to the members of the five college teams, there were also many people who came to watch the game. After all, the High-level Soul Master College Competition is not an event that happens every year. Moreover, this year's competition is held in Tiandou City, so the enthusiasm of the people is naturally very high.

As time went by, the sun gradually rose higher, and the crowd at the city gate began to become a little anxious.

"Why haven't you come yet? What time is it now?"

"Yeah, you're not putting on airs on purpose, are you?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, we are from Tiandou Royal Academy."

Just as everyone was talking, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds finally came from afar. A horse galloped over, and a young man in gorgeous clothes sat on the horse. The young man was handsome and smiling, as if he didn't care about being late at all.

"Sorry, sorry, I kept you waiting for so long." The young man jumped off the horse and said apologetically.

Hu Yanli frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by Huo Wushuang beside him.

"It doesn't matter. Since the representatives of Tiandou Royal Academy have arrived, let's set off." Huo Wushuang said with a smile. His tone was calm, but his eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness.

The young man smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, I was delayed by something on the way. Let me introduce myself. I'm Yu Tianheng, the vice-captain of the Tiandou Royal Academy team. This is our team leader, Mr. Meng Shenji."

As he spoke, he pointed to an old man beside him. The old man looked to be in his sixties, with a gaunt face and deep eyes. He was wearing a gray robe, which made him look like an immortal.

"Hello everyone, I am Meng Shenji." The old man said with a smile, his voice gentle yet powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

Although Hu Yanli was dissatisfied, he could not get angry due to Huo Wushuang's dissuasion and the fact that the other party was the organizer. He could only snort coldly and said, "Since everyone is here, let's go."

Yu Tianheng smiled slightly and said, "Okay, let's set off now. Please follow me."

As he said this, he turned and walked towards the city. The representatives of the other four colleges followed him.

The crowd at the city gate gradually dispersed, but the discussion about the lateness of Tiandou Royal Academy continued for a long time.

"It seems that this competition is going to be interesting." A bystander said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's bad enough that Tiandou Royal Academy is late, but they also sent such a young deputy captain. I really don't know what they were thinking." Another bystander echoed.

"Hmph, what's wrong with being young? Maybe he has the ability. Let's wait and see." Another bystander said.

The carriage that the Tiandou Royal Academy team rode in was very luxurious. The carriage was covered with soft blankets and filled with a variety of exquisite tea sets and snacks.

"Teacher Meng, are we really confident of winning this competition?" Yu Tianheng said worriedly as he sat opposite Meng Shenji.

Meng Shenji smiled slightly and said, "Tianheng, don't worry too much. I know your strength very well. As long as you perform normally, you should have no problem entering the finals."

Yu Tianheng nodded, but his worries did not ease. After all, the teams participating in this competition were very strong. Especially Xiangjia Academy and Chihuo Academy, they were even stronger opponents.

"By the way, Teacher Meng. What's the matter with Lu Yu? Is he really a student of our academy?" Yu Tianheng suddenly remembered Lu Yu and asked.

A deep light flashed in Meng Shenji's eyes, and he said, "Tian Heng, you don't need to ask too much about Lu Yu. Just remember that he is one of ours."

Yu Tianheng was shocked when he heard this. He could feel that Meng Shenji valued Lu Yu more than he valued the regular team members. This made him even more curious about Lu Yu's identity.

The carriage was moving slowly in the city, and people along the way cast curious glances at it. After all, such a luxurious carriage was not something you could easily see.

"Look, that's the carriage of Tiandou Royal Academy!"

"Wow, so impressive!"

“I wonder if I can win this competition?”

The people's discussions continued to enter the carriage, but Yu Tianheng and others did not pay attention. Their minds were all on the upcoming competition.

After driving for a while, the carriage finally arrived at the Wuhun Hall in the center of Tiandou City.

"Everyone, please get off the car. We are about to enter Wuhun City." Meng Shenji said.

Everyone got off the car after hearing this, and saw a magnificent building standing in front of them. The building was soaring into the sky, and it was magnificent. A huge martial spirit pattern was carved on the front door, which looked majestic and solemn. (End of this chapter)
