One day later, in a classroom at Tianshui Academy, the eight girls of the team, dressed in their unified academy uniforms, sat around a round table together with Luo Yu.
The teacher responsible for holding the pre-match meeting had not yet arrived, and the girls fell into lively chatter.
Xue Wu inconspicuously glanced in Luo Yu's direction, then quickly withdrew her gaze and asked curiously, "Who do you think will be the teacher leading us out for this competition?"
"I hope the teacher isn't too strict."
Ning Rongrong said, "As long as they don't manage us too tightly. That way, if we have free time, we can all go out for another meal together or something."
The others didn't think much of it, but Xue Wu and Shui Yue'er instantly understood the hidden meaning and secretly snorted. This girl really hadn't given up yet—clearly still thinking about it.
Luo Yu sat to the side watching quietly and didn't say anything. He glanced at Shui Yue'er, only to see the little girl's face instantly turn red. She shyly turned her head away, leaving him speechless.
He had tried to find Shui Yue'er these past two days as well, but she seemed to have completely forgotten what happened that night. She was so shy that she practically wanted to run the moment she saw him. What kind of situation was this? Luo Yu felt helpless.
What he didn't know was that among a group of people pretending to be drunk that night, there had been one who was truly drunk.
"I need to find some time to properly talk with this girl," Luo Yu thought to himself. In his heart, he had already regarded Shui Yue'er as one of his own.
"Click!"
The classroom door opened, and a sexy, fiery woman walked in gracefully.
"Teacher Su?!!" Shui Bing'er and the others widened their eyes.
Su Yaoyun smiled. "What, not welcoming me?"
"Welcome, welcome!"
Shui Bing'er and the others applauded. Ning Rongrong and Xue Wu, however, looked particularly tense after seeing Su Yaoyun.
Shui Yue'er asked, "Teacher, are you the one leading us to the competition this time?"
Su Yaoyun nodded. "I'll first hold a detailed meeting for everyone. After you understand the information, you can go back and prepare more specifically."
Luo Yu asked, "How long will the meeting last?"
Su Yaoyun replied in a full teacher's tone, "Student Luo, don't ask so many questions. Won't you know once it's over?"
"Alright, Teacher Su." Luo Yu deliberately emphasized the last two words, smiling as he stretched out his palm and made a tapping gesture that only she could see.
Su Yaoyun's gaze froze for a moment. She then glared at Luo Yu with her pink eyes, turned around, and sat down in the main seat at the round table.
"Now we'll begin the meeting. I'll first introduce this competition. This grand tournament is jointly hosted by the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Spirit Hall. Nearly a hundred advanced soul master academies will participate."
"This can be said to be the greatest event for the younger generation on the Douluo Continent. The final champion will undoubtedly be recognized as the strongest prodigy of the younger generation."
"Swish!"
The girls were not shocked by Su Yaoyun's words. Instead, they all turned their gazes toward Luo Yu in the wheelchair.
Mo Xue whispered, "Does the strongest prodigy even need to be contested? Once this guy goes, who can be his opponent?"
Ming Mei said, "With a top-tier expert backing us up, I'm not afraid of anything in this competition."
Ning Rongrong instantly turned into a fangirl and nodded repeatedly. "Even Sword Grandpa is so strong, yet he still loses to Brother Yu at the same level. People of the same age will probably despair."
Su Yaoyun clapped her hands. "Everyone, don't be overly optimistic. As far as I know, Spirit Hall already has two people whose cultivation has reached Soul King or above. Their martial spirits are exceptional, and their soul power is much higher than yours."
"Soul Kings?"
The girls of the Tianshui team cried out in surprise. They had believed that with Luo Yu's help, their cultivation already surpassed others of the same age. With their lineup, in previous editions they would have been the highest-level group. Yet in this year's competition, Soul Kings had actually appeared?
Shui Bing'er said, "Everyone stay calm. We can improve, and so can others. There's nothing strange about that."
"Brother Yu, can you handle Soul King-level experts?" Mo Xue leaned her cute little head over and asked softly.
Luo Yu couldn't help but rub her head, smiling. "What do you think?"
Mo Xue stuck out her tongue, her heart completely at ease. Although she hadn't seen Luo Yu fight for a long time, she trusted him for no reason at all—believing that even sitting in a wheelchair, he would still be unstoppable.
Hearing Su Yaoyun mention it, Luo Yu was reminded of Hu Liena and Xie Yue from Spirit Hall.
It seemed those two were doing quite well now. If it weren't for the fact that he had already killed one of them, Spirit Hall's younger generation of Soul Kings would have numbered three by now.
Su Yaoyun continued, "Because Heaven Dou and Star Luo are official organizers, each can send two teams to compete: a main team and a secondary team. The main team doesn't need to participate in the preliminaries and will directly enter the finals as a seeded team."
"The secondary teams must fairly compete with other advanced academies in the preliminaries. On the Heaven Dou side, fifteen teams will be selected through the preliminaries to go to Spirit Hall City for the grand finals."
Luo Yu yawned. "Teacher Su, you don't need to introduce these things. We already investigated them in advance."
Su Yaoyun glared at him. "Come, Student Luo. Since you already know, why don't you explain it to everyone?"
Seeing sparks seemingly fly between the two, Shui Yue'er said softly, "I can explain it for Brother Yu instead."
"No need. Let him speak for himself. I want to see just how much he actually knows," Su Yaoyun said, her charming face looking fierce.
Luo Yu secretly curled his lips. This little enchantress really put on a proper teacher act in front of him. Just wait until they got back.
Shui Yue'er was a bit anxious. Normally, whenever the team discussed such matters, Luo Yu never listened. How could he possibly understand the competition system?
"Ahem. Then I'll keep it short."
"The Heaven Dou Empire is divided into six divisions for the competition. Our Tianshui Academy belongs to the Heaven Dou Division, so naturally we'll compete in Heaven Dou City."
"As for the preliminaries, it's nothing more than team battles with a single round-robin format. Every team fights each other once. Whoever wins more advances. Simple and straightforward—strength is clear at a glance."
The girls all looked over. Shui Yue'er was surprised. Didn't Brother Yu never care about these things? How did he know all this?
Su Yaoyun continued asking, "Then what about the promotion matches after the preliminaries?"
Luo Yu answered briefly again. "The preliminaries focus on team battles. The promotion matches focus on individual combat. Each side sends out seven members in sequence. The winner stays on the field. When all members of one side are defeated, the other side wins."
Su Yaoyun fell silent, then turned her head and scanned the group. "Any other questions?"
"No."
"Ning Rongrong, do you have a question?" Su Yaoyun saw her raise her hand.
"Teacher, during free time between matches, can we go out for group meals?"
Su Yaoyun, sharp-minded, ignored Ning Rongrong and glared at Luo Yu.
Luo Yu looked innocent. What did this have to do with him?
"What's there to eat? Let's see how you perform in the matches first!" Su Yaoyun glared at Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue.
Xue Wu's eyes lit up, and she suddenly asked, "Teacher, then if we perform well, can we go out for group meals?"
Su Yaoyun replied expressionlessly, "We'll talk about it then. Meeting adjourned. If you have questions, come find me!"
Seeing that Teacher Su seemed displeased, all the girls sensibly and quickly left the classroom.
Shui Yue'er looked at Luo Yu, who was still sitting there. "Brother Yu, aren't you leaving?"
Luo Yu smiled. "I'm not in a hurry. I have something important to discuss with your Teacher Su."
"Oh."
Shui Yue'er turned to Su Yaoyun and said, "Then I'll head off first, Teacher."
Su Yaoyun glanced at Luo Yu and said, "Yue'er, don't call me 'Teacher' anymore in the future."
"Huh?" Shui Yue'er froze.
"Call me 'Sister' when you see me from now on."
Looking at the confused Shui Yue'er, Su Yaoyun said gently, "You can go now. Just remember what I said. Don't call me 'Teacher' anymore."
Luo Yu watched from the side with a strange expression as he saw Shui Yue'er off.
"Su Enchantress, what kind of trick are you playing?"
"A trick?" Su Yaoyun looked at him disdainfully. "Isn't this the sister you booked for me?"
"Uh—"
"Hmph, stinky man. If I don't plan ahead a little, are you going to let that girl call me 'Teacher' every day? Where would my dignity go then?"
Luo Yu walked over to Su Yaoyun's side. "Let's not talk about that. Teacher Su had quite the imposing authority today. You had the students so pressured I could barely breathe."
Su Yaoyun's lips curved into a seductive smile. "Is there a problem, Student Luo?"
"A problem?" Luo Yu reached out and pinched her alluring chin. "What should you be calling me?"
Su Yaoyun gave him a provocative look. "I haven't even settled accounts with you for undermining me just now, and you're already coming to question me?"
Luo Yu said, "Looks like you're quite unconvinced?"
"Of course!" Su Yaoyun lifted her chin, proud like a noble swan.
"Come on. There are too many people here. I'll give you some face. Let's go back to the room and see how I punish you."
"Fine, let's go! Like I'm afraid of you or something." Su Yaoyun shot him a charming glance and quickly stood up.
Luo Yu called out, "Wait—push me along while you're at it."
"Stinky man!" Su Yaoyun puffed out her cheeks in anger. "I must owe you from my past life."
