Inside the spacious waiting and resting area of the Tiandou Grand Soul Arena, there were over a thousand seats, divided into different sections for the various Soul Master academies to rest.
As time passed, more and more teams gathered in the waiting area. Once all teams were assembled, they would be guided by staff into the main arena to attend the opening ceremony and opening match of the tournament.
Tianshui Academy's team—a combination of handsome men and beautiful women—naturally drew the attention of all participating teams.
Most of the other teams were composed mainly of male Soul Masters, with very few female members. In both appearance and temperament, they were clearly inferior to the girls from Tianshui Academy.
After all, one of Tianshui Academy's admission requirements was beauty.
At this moment, the alluring and fiery Su Yaoyun paired with seven graceful girls of distinctly different temperaments created an overwhelming visual impact—not only on common spectators, but also posing a tremendous temptation and test to the male Soul Masters of every team present.
A young man wearing a gold, form-fitting team uniform walked toward Tianshui Academy. He carried himself with confident bearing, a hint of nobility between his brows, and a gentlemanly, charming smile on his face.
Nearby, Shui Yue'er was attentively massaging the shoulders of Luo Yu, who was resting with his eyes closed. She paid no attention at all to the swarm of admirers around them.
The young man soon arrived and politely bowed."Ladies of Tianshui Academy, greetings to you all."
"I am Chu Tian, captain of the second team of Tiandou Royal Academy. If I could have the honor of getting to know a few of you fairies here, it would truly be a blessing earned over three lifetimes."
The air suddenly fell silent. The girls of the team all looked elsewhere, clearly uninterested in the refined young man.
Shui Bing'er said calmly, "Captain Chu, please return. Our team is rather reclusive and doesn't like much interaction with outsiders. Sorry about that."
"Th-this…"Chu Tian prided himself on his strength and status and had never expected such a direct rejection. He had barely arrived and was already turned away.
Seeing that none of the girls spared him a glance, Chu Tian clenched his fist, unwilling to embarrass himself further, and left awkwardly.
Watching the young man's retreating figure, Luo Yu opened his eyes and teased, "Yue'er, isn't it stressful being around you girls? How many guys have already come over to show their interest?"
Shui Yue'er lightly punched his shoulder, dissatisfied."Brother Yu, what pressure would you have? Every one of them got chased away by my sister. You didn't have to worry at all."
Luo Yu glanced around and joked, "Tsk tsk, look at the way those men are staring. They practically want to eat me alive."
Shui Yue'er puffed out her small chest and said sweetly, "Brother Yu, what are you afraid of? If they want to touch you, they'll have to get past me first. Yue'er will protect you."
Luo Yu laughed and shook his head, reaching back to pinch her small nose."You're getting quite impressive, little girl."
On the other side, Xue Wu and Ning Rongrong sat like resentful palace concubines, casting jealous, bitter looks their way. Their beautiful eyes burned with obvious envy.
Ning Rongrong puffed her cheeks."Yue'er is hogging him all to herself."
Xue Wu sighed."Can't blame her. We were too slow—Brother Yu got snatched away."
"No, I want to go to Brother Yu too."
Xue Wu rolled her eyes."Yue'er's massaging his shoulders. What are you going to do? Massage his feet?"
Watching Luo Yu and Shui Yue'er chatting happily, Ning Rongrong glanced at the dense crowd around them. She hesitated, her face gradually turning red.
Su Yaoyun smiled teasingly."Little ones, this tournament has gathered nearly all the outstanding young talents of the Tiandou Empire. Why not take the chance to find someone you like?"
"No!""Absolutely not!"
Led by Shui Yue'er, the girls immediately objected, clearly looking down on those so-called young talents.
Su Yaoyun pointed at Luo Yu and joked,"Your standards have been raised too high by this stinky man. If you end up single for life, you'll have to settle accounts with him."
Luo Yu was speechless."Teacher Su, don't pin this on me. It's not as exaggerated as you say."
Su Yaoyun said nothing, just shot him a glare.
"Bing'er, how long until the opening ceremony?" Luo Yu yawned and stretched lazily in his wheelchair.
Shui Bing'er replied, "It should be soon."
Suddenly, another figure approached—but this time it wasn't a man. It was a purple-haired girl with bright eyes, dressed in exotic attire marked with the insignia of the Beast Academy team.
The girls of Tianshui Academy sensed it immediately and turned their gazes toward her in unison, alert and cautious—completely different from their casual attitude toward male visitors.
Xue Wu stepped forward, frowning."Miss, who are you looking for?"
The purple-haired girl excitedly pointed toward Luo Yu behind them."I'm looking for him."
"Huh?" Xue Wu turned her head."Brother Yu, do you know her?"
Luo Yu looked at the girl and shook his head.
Her expression changed."You don't recognize me? You helped me in the Star Dou Forest!"
Luo Yu replied calmly, "Miss, you might have mistaken me for someone else."
The purple-haired girl bit her lip and shook her head repeatedly."I'm sure it was you."
Luo Yu smiled."If you know me, then what's my name?"
"Well… uh…"She was left speechless. She really didn't know—she had asked back then, but he never told her.
"I know I'm not mistaken."Under the strange gazes around her, the girl glared stubbornly at Luo Yu and ran back to her team.
"Brother Yu, the way that girl spoke just now… could she be one of your romantic debts?" Shui Yue'er asked while still massaging his shoulders. The other girls leaned in to listen as well.
Luo Yu rolled his eyes."What gossip is that? Her name is Meng Yiran. I just helped her kill a soul beast in the Star Dou Forest."
Shui Yue'er asked curiously,"If you know her, why pretend you didn't?"
Luo Yu shook his head."Some things—if there's no possibility—should be cut off from the start. Otherwise…"
Shui Yue'er froze for a moment, then quickly understood. Her eyes filled with adoration."Brother Yu is really a good man."
The other girls, understanding as well, looked at Luo Yu with starry eyes. Only Su Yaoyun snorted in disdain, because in her line of sight, another girl was approaching.
The newcomer wore a green school uniform with the Shrek emblem on her chest. Though the outfit was unattractive, it only accentuated her cold temperament and exquisitely youthful face. Her figure—especially her chest—was impossible to ignore.
Ning Rongrong reacted first, exclaiming happily,"Zhuqing? You're competing too?"
Zhu Zhuqing had been staring at the man she longed to see. Hearing Ning Rongrong's voice, her eyes filled with surprise."You joined his team?"
"Yes!" Ning Rongrong said proudly.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her with envy, a longing for freedom deep in her eyes.
"Zhuqing, did you come here to see me?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Uh…"A faint blush appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face as her gaze rested on Luo Yu.
Ning Rongrong's smile stiffened—this felt less like a reunion and more like a rival's arrival.
Luo Yu naturally noticed her too, and scenes of her confession flashed through his mind—the first time he had ever been formally confessed to after arriving in the Douluo Continent.
"Long time no see," Zhu Zhuqing said softly, her icy aura thawing.
Luo Yu smiled."Three years gone—you've become even more beautiful."
"R-really?"Zhu Zhuqing blushed harder, her heart racing as she awkwardly touched her cheek.
Seeing her shy expression, the girls of Tianshui Academy all rolled their eyes at Luo Yu. Didn't he say he wouldn't give outsiders a chance? Then why was he chatting so happily with this one?
Because she's cute? Or because her chest is big?The girls' gazes collectively shifted to Xue Wu's chest for comparison.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing struggling to speak, Luo Yu wheeled himself closer to ease the awkwardness."That outfit… are you representing Shrek?"
"Yes."She nodded, then noticed his legs. Her expression tightened in worry."What happened to your legs?"
Luo Yu replied casually,"Just a cultivation mishap. Nothing serious."
"This…" Zhu Zhuqing said anxiously."Will you still compete?"
"Of course. Isn't it obvious? I'm the only guy on the team."He gestured behind him, half-joking.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced around, her heart sinking. So many outstanding women by his side—would she still have a chance?
"Hey, what's wrong?" Luo Yu waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"N-nothing."She snapped back, speaking haltingly. Soon she clenched her fists, determination shining in her eyes. Her happiness was something she had to fight for—this time, she wouldn't resign herself to fate.
Surrounded by people, Zhu Zhuqing felt flustered."You're not well—be careful. I… I'll wait for you in the competition."
With that, she fled.
"Eh—"
After she left, the girls collectively booed Luo Yu.
Luo Yu cleared his throat."We're just old friends saying hello. What are you booing for?"
"Like we'd believe that." Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes.
Shui Yue'er pouted, while Ning Rongrong stared warily in Zhu Zhuqing's direction and muttered,"I'm the real old friend, okay? Totally ignored. Facing a handsome guy, sisterhood turns fake real fast—the friendship boat capsizes instantly."
"Tsk tsk, Student Luo Yu, you've accumulated quite a few romantic debts," Su Yaoyun said with a sly smile.
Luo Yu felt a chill down his spine."Teacher Su, that's not fair. They're all friends—where are these romantic debts coming from? There's only one, right?"
"One?" Su Yaoyun sneered."Look over there. Isn't that little girl coming to find you too?"
"Huh?" Luo Yu perked up.
"There's more?"The girls all turned their heads in curiosity.
