The Great Ruler: Starting with the Contract Goddess Luo Li

Chapter 45 The Circus Let You Go Back to Perform

Under a clear, azure sky, a light mist drifted across the entire world.

The strange mist formed from spiritual energy swirled and veiled this world, making it look like a fairyland.

Beneath a massive waterfall deep within the fairyland, a patch of blue rock protrudes, upon which a slender figure can be vaguely seen.

He was dressed in a blue robe, with long hair flowing down his back, and his handsome face had very defined features.

He simply sat there cross-legged, as if he had merged with the universe.

"call."

He seemed to sense something, opened his eyes, and gently exhaled a puff of white breath towards the front.

"Bang!"

The white mist suddenly became violent, transforming into a beam of light that cleaved the waterfall in front of it.

A streak of light flashed by and quickly slipped through the gap in the waterfall's partition, landing on the bluestone.

"Any news about Shen Cangsheng?"

The young man in the blue robe stretched and asked.

"He took on a Heaven-level mission and ran off again. As far as I know, he's probably going to track down the Nine Yin Sect."

The newcomer was a young man dressed in black, who shrugged.

"The Nine Yin Sect?"

The young man in the blue robe smiled and said, "Although it is a broken force, the sect leader has the cultivation of the Transformation Realm."

This is a team mission; it seems he's both highly skilled and daring.

"Back in the freshman orientation, didn't you only lose to him by one move?"

Sometimes, even a small difference can create a huge chasm.

Hearing the words of the young man in black, the young man in green smiled faintly: "It's been almost a year since I've fought him, and I'm indeed itching for a fight. I wonder how far he's progressed with his Judgment Divine Technique."

"It seems your Heavenly Profound Divine Technique has improved as well?"

The young man in black asked in surprise.

"Just a little progress."

The young man in the blue robe smiled: "Has anything interesting happened at the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy lately? I think I've been in seclusion for three months now—"

"Those guys are all preparing for the hunting war six months from now."

The young man in black curled his lip and said, "By the way, the freshmen of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy have arrived. The freshman assembly is still a while away."

It's said that some outstanding individuals have emerged from this year's freshmen; one even reached the tenth level of the Thunder Domain, breaking Shen Cangsheng's and your records.

Who is it?

The young man in the blue robe was slightly taken aback.

Lei Yu's record was set a long time ago, but he never expected that a new student would surpass it and Shen Cang Sheng.

"That person's name is Lin Suzhou. Besides him, there are Yang Hong, Mu Kui, and Mu Chen."

The other two were girls: Bing Qing from the Ice Spirit Clan, and Luo Li.

The moment the young man in black finished speaking, he sensed something was wrong.

The powerful figure before them, renowned within the Spirit Academy and ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking, slightly opened his mouth.

This was the first time he had ever seen Li Xuantong with such an expression.

"Luo Li?"

Li Xuantong smiled and shook his head: "Heh—it shouldn't be, how could she have come to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy?"

By the way, what does she look like?

The young man in black gave him a strange look, then described his appearance: "Silver hair, oval face—"

"It really is her!"

Li Xuantong laughed, his lazy expression replaced by excitement.

"Do you know her?"

The young man in black asked in surprise.

"Um."

Li Xuantong nodded without any hesitation.

The young man in black shrugged helplessly after hearing this: "If you're interested in her, I have some bad news for you. It seems she has someone she likes, and it's that freshman named Lin Suzhou."

If I remember correctly, they even lived together.

Li Xuantong's brows furrowed slowly, and he murmured, "How could this be? It seems that what I heard before was true."

"Should I tell that freshman to behave himself?"

The young man in black thought for a moment and then said this.

"In that case, she'll probably be angry."

Li Xuantong shook his head and slowly stood up: "She's very stubborn, and I don't want to fall out with her."

"That----"

The young man in black hesitated for a moment.

"Never mind that."

Li Xuantong smiled, remained silent for a while, and then looked at the distant sky: "Forget it, I'd better go see her. It's been so many years since I've seen her. I'll see what's going on."

This news is really not something I like.

"A love rival? With how outstanding you are, that girl wouldn't even be interested in you?"

The young man in black couldn't help but add his own comment.

"Ha—I've always treated her like a younger sister."

Li Xuantong smiled, but seeing the black-clad youth's slightly upturned lips, he could only say helplessly, "Although she likes me a little, she doesn't really like me. Sigh, but that Lin Suzhou really shouldn't be around him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step and appeared a thousand feet away, then disappeared without a trace.

Inside the stone pavilion in the lake in the new student area.

"Haha, Brother Lin, I told you you could do it!"

Song Hao, dressed in a black suit, patted Lin Suzhou on the shoulder, looking very happy.

"You actually beat that Mo Lun to a pulp. In my opinion, even Huo Feng, the leader of their Qinghong Society, is no match for you."

Song Hao filled Lin Suzhou's cup with spiritual wine and laughed.

"Huo Feng? What is his cultivation level?"

Lin Suzhou drank the spirit wine in his cup in one gulp and asked.

"He is ranked ninety-first on the Heavenly Ranking, and his cultivation level is in the late stage of the Fusion Realm."

As far as I know, he seems to have recently gone into seclusion. Brother Lin, you can wait for him to come out and then challenge him.

Let's start with Huo Feng, build up our reputation, and expand the betting pool so we can earn more spiritual points.

"By then, not only will Brother Lin's goal be to buy a drop of the Northern Sea Dragon Kun's essence blood, but you'll be able to buy it even after all its blood has been drained!"

Song Hao patted his chest, looking confident.

"Hehe, Brother Song, I guess the plan has changed."

Lin Suzhou felt a streak of light on the horizon rushing toward him at breakneck speed.

Looking up, the streak of light flashed and appeared on the clear lake.

On the swing in front of the lakeside pavilion, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan were chatting and laughing.

But when Luo Li saw this figure, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

"Li Xuantong!?"

When Song Hao looked at the man, his jaw almost dropped to the ground in astonishment.

"Why would he come to the freshman area? Is he here to recruit you, a junior, into his cult?"

"Heh, I suspect they're up to no good. I'd better head over there."

Lin Suzhou saw Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan talking to him, so he flew over.

"Wait for me, junior."

Seeing this, Song Hao was afraid that something might happen to Lin Suzhou, so he followed.

"Luo Li, it's been a long time."

On the lake, Li Xuantong looked at the silver-haired girl he hadn't seen in a long time, a smile on his face.

Luo Li stared at the young man with her crystal-clear eyes, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she nodded gently: "Li Xuantong, it's been a long time."

"Luo Li, who is this?"

Lin Suzhou then arrived between Luo Li and the other two women and asked Luo Li a question.

"Irrelevant."

Luo Li took Lin Suzhou's arm and shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Lin Suzhou looked at Li Xuantong and noticed that the latter's expression was unpleasant.

Senior Li Xuantong, don't stay here anymore, the circus wants you to go back and perform.
