Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

The spiritual spring rolled, and the entire water surface seemed to be cut by a knife, like a crack cut out on a shallow mirror pool.

The attack distance exceeds thirty steps.

Jiang Yang's scalp tingled as he watched. He knew in his heart that he had already been defeated. If Bai Yu had just had murderous intentions, he would have been killed by this move.

He only kicked once, not because he was weak, but because he had no intention of killing.

There's really no need to continue.

Wu Quxing sighed and raised his hands: "I give in."

The spectators around were silent for a moment, and then they began to whisper.

Some agreed: "Only after the fight did we know the result. It was as expected, not surprising."

Someone exclaimed: "Is this really a freshman? How come he looks even more fierce than the seniors?"

Some people were surprised: "Everything said in the forum is true? No way, I thought it was just bragging."

Some people questioned: "This is just the beginning, is Jiang Yang letting us win?"

A few words and a lot of discussion.

But most people agreed with the outcome of this battle, especially Jiang Yang himself admitted defeat, which was equivalent to using his reputation as Wu Quxing to protect Bai Yu.

He chose to admit defeat when he seemed to still have a chance of winning, which only proved that he had no confidence in defeating Bai Yu.

Especially in the eyes of people with a high enough level of cultivation, the gap between the two sides has already widened.

It's not a difference in magical powers and skills, it's purely a crushing difference in combat experience, cultivation level and basic qualities.

Jiang Yang lost, but he lost happily. As he walked out of the Shallow Mirror Pool, he left a message: "No one in Penglai will dare to trouble you from now on."

Watch Wu Quxing leave.

Tao Rusu said unhappily, "This guy clearly lost, but he still has this cocky expression on his face saying 'I'm giving you face'."

"For Jiang Yang, this defeat is not shameful, but it also ruined the reputation he has accumulated." Mu Yaoxi regretted not the person, but the reputation.

It is difficult to build a good reputation, but it is very easy to destroy it. Ultimately, it is a kind of credibility... It is like a person who has been winning all his life, and everyone is willing to bet on him to keep winning.

"I think he's quite clever." Bai Yu stretched. "If he doesn't challenge me now, he might not even have the courage to challenge me in the future."

This sentence of Wang Po selling melons unexpectedly made everyone agree with it.

"Honestly...how did you reach higher realms?" Hua Li couldn't help but ask closer, and his next sentence revealed his true intention: "Can you teach me? Please!"

"It's generally impossible to quickly improve your realm through seclusion. It's usually used to break through or consolidate your realm. How did you do it?" Not only Hua Li was curious, but others as well.

Bai Yu: "There's nothing I can't say."

"Oh?" Everyone pricked up their ears.

"First, you have to download a mobile game, then get hit by a dump truck ten times..."

……

"It's quite surprising, isn't it?"

"Although I expected Jiang Yang to lose early on, I didn't expect him to lose so completely."

In an office of the Yuling Society, Dongfang Hong put away his binoculars. "Peak of the Second Stage... Seventeen years old, peak of the Second Stage. It would be unjust if he couldn't reach the Third Stage within a year."

"I don't know what Zhuge Qingyun is thinking right now."

"Bei Ming Que may also feel the pressure."

Xiaoyun, the maidservant beside her, brewed tea in silence. Then she whispered, "Young Master, Bei Mingque has teamed up with that Ren Nanbei. You shouldn't care about his affairs, right?"

"Who knows what he's thinking?" Dongfang Hong shook his head and sighed, "I'll never understand Bei Mingque's thinking. Why would he choose the intolerant Ren Nanbei when there are so many people he could work with? Or has Ren Nanbei's blade of slashing grass learned to change direction after two years?"

Picking up the teacup and blowing out a puff of white mist, Dongfang Hong muttered to himself, "If Bai Yu officially enters the third level, he will be a threat to many people. If he is smart, he should keep a low profile from now on. Even someone as strong as Huang Qixia only goes down the mountain for three months a year."

Xiaoyun asked, "Will he be a hindrance to the young master?"

Dongfang Hong laughed: "Hindering? I don't think so."

"His target is Haoyue. Doesn't that conflict with Young Master?" Xiaoyun whispered, "Now, Yuling Academy is determined to win the title of the next Haoyue, and the four major watch schools are also eyeing it covetously. Among the five most likely candidates, you, Young Master, are the most suitable."

"Too many people are eyeing the Haoyue position," Dongfang Hong said, not knowing whether it was true or not. "To be honest, I don't really want it... If I hadn't been pushed into this position, I wouldn't bother to fight for it. What a pity... It's all because the previous generation didn't work hard enough, and they put all the pressure on us."

"Ten years ago, the Dongfang family lost the Qinglong Hall of the Shenwu Division, and it was recovered by Long Jianquan."

"The Ximen family is in a difficult situation, but they are able to have children. They rely on marriages to win over relatives, and they have a nephew to support them, so they can get by."

"The Beiming family declined due to the departure of their direct descendants, and they recklessly pushed forward a certain Haoyue. However, Beiming Que was completely out of control and chose to join forces with Ren Nanbei—completely confronting the Xiling King, one of the top ten."

"The only family that's doing okay is the Nangong family. They still control the Suzaku Hall of the Divine Martial Division and even have three elder seats in the Alchemist Association."

After making a few random comments, Dongfang Hong sneered, "But if their previous generation didn't work hard, why should we do it this time? I can go to the film world to recover lost ground, but there's no need to fight for fame and fortune."

Xiaoyun pretended not to hear.

Dongfang Hong continued, "Bai Yu has a close relationship with the Beiming family and is also connected to Mu Yaoxi. In the future, he will definitely join the Shenwu Division and the capital to shake things up... I don't want to get involved in his affairs. Do you know why?"

Xiaoyun was puzzled.

"There's actually no conflict between him and me." Dongfang Hong looked out the window. "In my lifetime, I'll at most touch the moon once, and he...maybe he'll be the next Huang Qixia."

Chapter 371: Journey to Dragon Country

It is now the second day after Bai Yu was released from customs.

I had a reunion with old classmates yesterday.

The battle between Bai Yu and Jiang Yang has also been spread on the student forum.

Students from Danding College were present at the event and recorded the screen.

Today, Penglai College is a gathering place for both new and old students, and it is naturally more lively than in previous periods.

It's been more than two weeks since school started, and this is Bai Yu's first battle after coming out of seclusion. His opponent is Wu Quxing. A win over Jiang Yang doesn't mean much in the eyes of the old students, but it has already established his position among the freshmen.

Most people have little interest in the causes and consequences of this battle.

They just started to speculate on who Bai Yu would choose as his opponent in the next battle and challenge the ranking on the ranking list.

There are all kinds of speculations on the forum.

But the person involved, Bai Yu, had already started packing his luggage and preparing to go to the Dragon Country.

I had originally gone into seclusion to level up in advance for this goal, and now that the time has come, it’s natural to go to the Dragon Country.

Long Zuoyou has returned to the Dragon Country in advance.

The person in charge of the response is Long Mingcheng.

Bai Yu asked casually why Long Jianquan didn't come along.

Long Mingcheng's answer was that Long Jianquan was still in retreat, and he would naturally be there when the water-walking ceremony officially began.

There were three of us going to Dragon Country this time.

Tao Rusu, Su Ruoli and himself.

Su Ruoli was going to investigate the details of Ao Xuanyue's disappearance, so naturally he had to follow along.

The other people in Qianchen Society can only stay in Penglai Academy. Not everyone can enter the Dragon Town, and they must notify in advance.

The Dragon Clan is still haunted by the rebellion of the Tyrant twenty years ago. The average lifespan of this group of people can reach over three hundred years. They care more about tradition than ordinary people, are more conservative, and find it harder to forget the pain of the past. It was only twenty years ago, but for the dragon clan, it was probably like being beaten up and having their ancestral graves robbed and running away two years ago. The memory is definitely deep.

A group of four arrived at the dock.

Bai Yu asked Tao Rusu, "Are you nervous?"

Tao Rusu tilted her head: "What's there to be nervous about?"

"It's my first time to go back to my parents' home."

"You're also bringing a monogamous man, right?" Tao Rusu said with a spit.

"Dragon Country is a good place." Long Mingcheng said with a smile, "You also have dragon blood. In fact, the attitude of most people in Dragon Country towards you is quite kind. If you don't mind, you can treat it as another home."

Tao Rusu looked calmly at the endless blue sea: "I have no home for a long time, and Dragon Country is not my home either."

"Since it's a good place, will anyone call me handsome when I go to Dragon Country?" Bai Yu asked curiously.

Long Mingcheng was silenced.

He thought to himself, if you do this, people will just say you’re a scoundrel.

Su Ruoli was wearing a white dress. She was going out today, so she dressed up specially. She looked like Jiuwu... No, no, she looked like a black-haired version of Mrs. Lexington's sister in a white dress. Although she was a young girl, she already had a mature and generous temperament.

I don’t know if it’s Bai Yu’s illusion, but I always feel that Su Ruoli has grown up a lot during this period of time.

A seventeen-year-old girl will soon turn into a ripe peach in the blink of an eye.

Should I say height, age, or...

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Tao Rusu opened her mouth slightly and gritted her teeth as she warned, "Watch your gaze. You don't look at me at home, but you look at me when you come out. How cheap of you to be!"

Bai Yu suddenly felt inspired to write a poem: "Whether you see me or not, I will be right here, neither sad nor happy."

Su Ruoli also recited: "Whether you miss me or not, the love is there, it will never come or go."

Tao Rusu was stunned: "What are you guys talking about here?"

"It's just a modern poem." Bai Yu had recited it before to coax Su Ruoli.

"This poem is my favorite. It is simple and easy to understand, and it also has artistic conception." Miss Su raised the corners of her lips with satisfaction. She liked this kind of unintentional possession.

If Mu Yaoxi were here, she would probably bite her handkerchief in jealousy.

But Tao Rusu is a maverick Lin Daiyu, who buried the queen of flowers and plucked weeping willows, and had no appreciation for poetry.

She really couldn't disturb the childhood sweethearts who were exchanging glances and their love was as strong as a rock.

Then he urged the other person, "How do we get to Dragon Country next?"

"It would take days to go straight there, so we'll take a shortcut."

Long Mingcheng clapped his hands, and huge waves appeared under the water surface of the dock. The water was displaced, and the nearby ships swayed. The considerable movement also attracted the ground crew members stationed at the dock.

The first dragon claw to emerge from the water was not very huge, but it was about the size of an ordinary yacht.

Behind this dragon claw is a number of uniquely shaped sedan chairs, which appear to be more than 50 square meters in size. They float on the water and emit a water-colored glow.

Long Mingcheng jumped onto the dragon's back and said, "This dragon is a spiritual beast raised in the Dragon Country. With it leading the way, we will reach the Dragon Country in just two hours."

"Please get in the sedan chair."

Tao Rusu put her hands on her hips and said, "You're taking advantage of me, huh?"

The honest man from the Dragon Clan scratched his head: "Huh?"

Bai Yu jumped into the sedan chair, turned around and sat down: "It feels pretty good, quite transparent."

"As long as you are satisfied, everyone sit tight, we will set off immediately."

Long Mingcheng clapped his hands, and the dragon claw moved its limbs and dived into the sea. The light instantly became dim, but fortunately there was a light source in the carriage.

Su Ruoli immediately closed the distance, looked around, and frowned slightly: "I don't like places that are too dark or too deep."

Tao Rusu nodded: "Me too, I have a fear of the deep sea."

Bai Yu was sandwiched between the two of them, probably feeling a bit hot, so he shouted, "That..."

Long Mingcheng opened the drawer swiftly: "Snacks and drinks are all here, you're welcome, please help yourself."

Bai Yu shook his head and then made a request.

"It's too stuffy in here, can you open a window?"

"..."

Opening the window under the sea, are you still asleep?

Long Mingcheng's CPU was almost burned out.

Two hours, four hours, is not long, but not short either.

Out of boredom, I can only start to pass the time through simple entertainment activities.

"To three!"
