Chapter 248 - Love at first sight

"No! I can't lose!!"

Laughing Hongchen's veins bulged. Since he couldn't dodge, he decided to defend himself!

"The Boiling Point of Gold!"

Laughing Hongchen manipulates a large amount of metal to form a shield, and then super-reinforces it with Spirit Ability, placing it on top of his head.

The next moment.

The thick Blue Silver Grass vines crashed down.

"Thump—"

No doubt about it.

The Blue Silver Grass vines crashed heavily to the ground, embedding themselves in the earth, along with Laughing Hongchen...

Although the Blue Silver Grass may seem weak, its massive size makes it comparable in weight to a skyscraper, something even Spirit Saint wouldn't dare to directly confront.

"Elder brother!!!"

Upon seeing this, Meng Hongchen burst into tears and struggled frantically, trying to break free from the restraints of Blue Silver Grass.

But before she could break free, she saw something and suddenly froze...

Suddenly, a large amount of golden liquid gushed out from beneath the Blue Silver Grass.

"Gurgle..."

The golden liquid quickly condensed and soon took the shape of Laughing Hongchen.

That's right, Laughing Hongchen just used his trump card, the fifth Spirit Ability – Golden Favor.

This is an extremely rare, millennia-old Spirit Ability. When cast, it can liquefy Laughing Hongchen into metal, granting him immunity to 80% of physical attacks.

It can be described as an extremely powerful trump card for survival.

However, Laughing Hongchen's face was extremely pale and his breathing was incredibly weak.

One reason is that this perpetual Spirit Ability takes a toll on him.

Another reason is that Bai Zhou's attack was too powerful. Even with 80% immunity, he was still severely injured and completely unable to fight anymore.

Of course, external injuries are secondary.

Most importantly, it was the psychological impact on him.

He considered himself the number one among the younger generation in the Sun Moon Empire, and believed himself to be invincible among those in the same realm...

Now he's been defeated by a boy who's about the same age as him.

No, it was crushing.

At this moment, Laughing Hongchen felt that all his years of cultivation had been wasted on a dog.

It's one thing to lose, but to lose in front of his sister is another.

It hurts...it hurts so much...

He was having a hard time accepting the blow.

Now.

It's not just Laughing Hongchen.

Seeing this scene, Ju Zi's understanding of Bai Zhou was once again refreshed.

She had already overestimated Bai Zhou's abilities as much as possible, but unexpectedly, he was still a bit lacking.

Although I don't know Dao Bai Zhou's exact strength, he is definitely not the Spirit Emperor!

Good heavens, that bastard Bai Zhou! She trusted him so much, and he actually hid his cultivation level and deceived her for so long! How infuriating!

Ju Zi secretly vowed that she would definitely find out how much strength Bai Zhou was still hiding when she got back!

...

While Ju Zi was somewhat bewildered, Meng Hongchen was also dumbfounded, even forgetting to check on his brother.

At this moment, although Meng Hongchen was bound and suspended in mid-air by Blue Silver Grass, her gaze was completely drawn to Bai Zhou.

Powerful, handsome, confident, and incredibly generous.

After all, Bai Zhou definitely held back in this battle, and he even went all out.

After all, given the strength Bai Zhou has demonstrated, if he were to get serious, his brother might not even have a chance to unleash Spirit before being instantly killed.

Bai Zhou, however, was very generous in giving Laughing Hongchen the opportunity to showcase his talents!

Her admiration for Bai Zhou reached its peak in an instant!

If she had only felt a special fondness for Bai Zhou before, then now…

Meng Hongchen was certain that she had completely fallen in love with Bai Zhou!

Such a powerful and handsome man! Who wouldn't like him!

Perhaps this is what they call love at first sight...

For a moment, Meng Hongchen's face involuntarily flushed, and her heart fluttered...

...

...

"I lost..."

Laughing Hongchen remained silent for a moment before finally admitting defeat.

After all, Ju Zi and his sister were watching, and if he tried to cheat again, it would really be embarrassing.

Of course, he was completely convinced in his heart.

After all, he knew Dao Bai Zhou had no intention of killing him, and he had already held back just now.

If the opponent goes all out, he probably won't even have a chance to unleash Spirit...

"You're quite good. You managed to escape from my normal attack. You truly deserve to be the number one at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy."

Bai Zhou retracted Spirit Ability and smiled faintly.

"Oh..."

Laughing Hongchen's lips twitched violently.

This thing can hold way too much...

However, Laughing Hongchen had to admit that Bai Zhou had the capital to show off.

"Student Bai is overrated. I wonder which hidden family Student Bai comes from. I don't recall our Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy having a super prodigy like Student Bai..."

Laughing Hongchen cupped his hands in greeting to Bai Zhou, and finally voiced his doubts.

Moreover, the fact that such a super genius emerged from the academy was completely unknown to his grandfather, who was the dean of the academy.

That's a bit strange.

He couldn't recall any Hidden Family in the Sun Moon Empire that could have produced such a prodigy- like Genius.

Could it be that the other party comes from outside the Sun Moon Empire?

Laughing Hongchen's eyes flickered, wondering what Dao was thinking.

However, at this moment, Orange stepped forward and interrupted their conversation.

"Xiao Bai is someone I brought back. Although he is not a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, his identity is legitimate. You don't need to know that."

Although Orange's words were plain, her protectiveness was very obvious.

"Hehe, since Senior Orange said so, then of course it's no problem. I was just curious." Seeing this, Laughing Hongchen also suppressed his inappropriate thoughts and quickly smiled.

After all, he knew about the relationship between Dao Ju Zi and Xu Tianran.

Since Orange has already said so, there's no need to dwell on it anymore.

Anyway, none of this has anything to do with him.

Moreover, regardless of where Bai Zhou is from, now that he has obtained legal status in the Sun Moon Empire, he is a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire.

Having such a powerful Genius is a good thing for the Sun Moon Empire.

"Hehe, okay, let's not talk about that anymore, Sister Ju Zi. You still haven't told me how you ended up here. Could it be that you also came for Cold Spring?"

At this moment, Meng Hongchen noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly ran over and changed the subject with a smile.

However, she subconsciously moved closer to Bai Zhou.

"Yes, little Meng, my teacher said that there might be an ice soul and cold iron beneath this Cold Spring, so he sent us to investigate. However, the Cold Spring is too deep, and we cannot detect the deepest part."

Orange feigned helplessness.

As she spoke, she gave Bai Zhou a meaningful look, signaling him not to tell anyone.

Although she could barely be considered friends with Meng Hongchen and his sister, she naturally couldn't back down on matters of mutual benefit.

If the other party finds out that there's an Ice Soul Cold Iron under Dao, they might just steal the credit.

While the likelihood of this happening is small, it's not entirely impossible.
