Chapter 467: Four hundred sixty-six, lesson

When Luo Shu had come here before, she deliberately lagged behind, so no one paid attention to her cultivation. Originally, she possessed a Shielding Talisman that could conceal her Divine Sense and prevent others from discerning her cultivation level.

However, the notice she saw earlier stated that cultivators participating in the registration could not use any Magical Treasures that would shield their presence; otherwise, the sect would not admit them, so she had removed the Shielding Talisman. After all, there was nothing about her previous cultivation level worth hiding.

"May I ask what’s the matter with your cultivation?" the Nascent Soul Elder finally regained his voice. Could it be that she had previously concealed her cultivation?

"I was injured before, and my cultivation fell. Now, I am in the process of recovering," Luo Shu explained. Being stared at like this by everyone made her quite uncomfortable.

The Nascent Soul Elder nodded with understanding, his face revealing a happy smile, "What was your original cultivation level?" Since she said she was recovering, her current level surely wasn’t her true strength.

"Nascent Soul Late Stage Peak," Luo Shu said.

"My god!" The crowd let out a collective gasp in astonishment. They had thought Luo Shu was the weakest among them, but now they realized just how wrong they were.

"There probably aren’t many at the Nascent Soul Late Stage Peak in the entire Tianchi Country!"

"The Upper Pavilion might even make it to the official competition because of her this time."

"Actually, I’ve seen her before. She went to register at Qingfeng Academy and even followed them, and I don’t know why she came back."

"Really? If Qingfeng Academy knew, wouldn’t they regret missing out on a strong cultivator to the point of turning green?"

"I am suddenly very much looking forward to seeing the expressions on Qingfeng Academy’s faces when they find out about Luo Shu’s strength, hahaha..."

The Nascent Soul Elder looked at Luo Shu, the smile on his face unable to be contained. He didn’t bother with any more idle talk and waved his hand at the crowd, "Let’s set off!" Perhaps this time, the Upper Pavilion really had a chance to enter the finals and turn heads!

Since the journey to Tianchi City was long, this time all three sects were traveling by large flying ships.

When the Nascent Soul Elder led Luo Shu and the others to the flying ship station, the Sun Sword Sect had already arrived, while Qingfeng Academy was yet to come.

"Your Upper Pavilion is participating too? I think you might as well not bother," sneered a voice.

"Exactly, it’ll just be a wasted trip for you anyway. Don’t embarrass yourselves by going," another taunted.

"People should know their limits and give up early if they know something is impossible," three elders from the Sun Sword Sect scornfully mocked the Nascent Soul Elder upon seeing him. The Upper Pavilion really was poor! With only one elder leading the team, such a sect shouldn’t even exist.

The Nascent Soul Elder just chuckled without a care. He was in high spirits! In his team this time, there was a Nascent Soul Late Stage Peak cultivator. He was looking forward to the moment when everyone’s jaws would drop.

Qingfeng Academy arrived fashionably late, and the expressions on the faces of the leading elders exuded arrogance. The disciples following behind wore the same demeanor. They had all been meticulously selected by the academy, and they were brimming with confidence for the competition.

Luo Shu felt someone’s gaze boring into her. Turning her head, she saw it was that Mid Stage Nascent Soul cultivator she had knocked away with a Talisman Array. Unexpectedly, he had qualified too.

"Do you know him?" Mo Lixu asked.

Luo Shu glared fiercely at the Mid Stage Nascent Soul cultivator, then turned away and said, "There was a conflict before."

"He is Li Yuyang, like myself, a Middle-level Earth-Rank Talisman Master, extremely arrogant, and also petty," Mo Lixu commented. His impression of Li Yuyang, a sworn enemy, was extremely poor, and that man’s faults were far more than what he had just described.

"I’ve seen that for myself," Luo Shu nodded with a smile.

"Everybody, follow me onto the flying ship!" The leading Nascent Soul Elder called out as he waved his hand toward the crowd.

The crowd quickly formed a line and followed the elder in an orderly fashion towards the flying ship.

The interior of the flying ship was spacious, consisting of three layers, each with dozens of rooms. Since the Upper Pavilion had the weakest strength, they had been assigned to the lowest layer.

Luo Shu entered her room. Each room could only accommodate two people, and this time, she was sharing with Yi Xueying, the daughter of the sect leader of the Upper Pavilion. Yi Xueying’s current strength was at the Mid Foundation Establishment level.

"Sister Luo Shu, our trip to Tianchi Country will take ten days. You may cultivate during this time undisturbed; I won’t bother you," Yi Xueying said with a smile. The sooner Luo Shu’s strength recovered, the more it would benefit the Upper Pavilion.

"Okay!" Luo Shu nodded with a smile. She indeed was eager to restore her strength. Only then would she have a better chance in Phoenix Feather Country.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Loud knocking sounds came from the door.

"I wonder which impolite fellow it is, I’ll go open the door." Yi Xueying frowned as she stepped forward and opened the door.

Li Yuyang was standing outside, and upon seeing Yi Xueying open the door, he directly pushed her aside and entered the room.

Upon seeing Luo Shu, Li Yuyang sneered, "Isn’t it about time we settle our grievances?" The thought of the day he was sent flying by Luo Shu filled him with rage.

"I don’t have time," Luo Shu said indifferently. Now was not the time for her to reveal her strength.

"You might not have time, but I have plenty. You just need to lie down and take a beating," Li Yuyang said with a cold smile, attacking Luo Shu. However, before he could get close, he was struck by a blast and sent flying.

Li Yuyang scrambled up from the ground, angrily staring at Luo Shu, "You actually used a talisman again! You’re asking for death!" He charged at Luo Shu once more.

Luo Shu waved her hand, and several talismans flew out, forming a talisman array that trapped the charging Li Yuyang inside.

"See this talisman in my hand? The moment I throw it, you’ll be reduced to ashes under the talisman formation’s attack," Luo Shu said with a smile, shaking a talisman in her hand. Of course, she couldn’t kill Li Yuyang now—that would mean opposing the entire Qingfeng Academy. She’d wait until she won the competition and eliminated Li Yuyang, then she’d slowly torment him to death.

"You wouldn’t dare!" Li Yuyang glared at Luo Shu furiously. He hadn’t expected her to be an array master; it seemed he had underestimated her this time.

"Why not try me?" Luo Shu curled her lip and scoffed, her hand already tossing the talisman toward Li Yuyang.

"I was wrong, please let me off just this once," Li Yuyang pleaded, covering his head in fear as he saw Luo Shu truly throw the talisman. This woman was a madman, and he didn’t dare gamble with her.

"Coward!" Yi Xueying mocked with a sneer as she saw Li Yuyang’s timid behavior.

"I won’t trouble you again, just let me off this time," Li Yuyang pleaded, no longer caring about his pride. What use was pride without life? As for this grudge, he would settle it sooner or later. Once he made it into the top hundred, there would be plenty who would seek his favor. Then, he would settle the score with her, making her kneel and beg.

Just then, the talisman array suddenly launched an attack, and countless bolts of lightning appeared, striking towards Li Yuyang. There was no escape, and the electricity made his whole body tremble.

Not until Li Yuyang rolled his eyes back and started foaming at the mouth did Luo Shu raise her hand to retract the talismans. She walked over and kicked Li Yuyang out the door, then closed it with a "snap!" After this lesson, Li Yuyang surely wouldn’t dare come again.

"Sister Luo Shu, you’re truly formidable!" Yi Xueying laughed and gave Luo Shu a thumbs-up. She had really enjoyed the show this time!

Luo Shu smiled slightly, "That kind of person needs to be taught a painful lesson, or they’ll only become more brazen."

Yi Xueying laughed in agreement, "My father always says, treat such people as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves."

"That’s why we need powerful strength," Luo Shu said with a smile as she moved to the meditation cushion and sat down cross-legged, closing her eyes to cultivate.

Yi Xueying giggled and moved to sit on the cushion as well, closing her eyes to start her cultivation. She, too, wanted to work hard like Sister Luo Shu, so that their Upper Pavilion would be hopeful for the future.

Li Yuyang got up from the ground, wiped the foam from his mouth, and glared venomously at Luo Shu’s room, clenched his teeth, and muttered, "We shall see!" He would remember today’s humiliation, and one day, he would take his revenge tenfold, a hundredfold!

The airship flew steadily, but as it passed over a gorge, it suddenly shook violently.

Luo Shu opened her eyes, and Yi Xueying, who had been cultivating opposite her, also opened her eyes at the same time.

"We must be passing through the Lost Mountain Range now. There’s a strong gravitational force here, which is why the airship always shakes like this," Yi Xueying explained. At 126 years old, this wasn’t her first time attending the Quad-Nation Tournament, so she was familiar with the situation.

Indeed, the airship’s broadcast came on at the same time, "The airship is currently passing over the Lost Mountain Range. Due to the strong gravitational force here, the airship is experiencing violent tremors. Please do not panic; the shaking will soon pass."

Luo Shu smiled slightly and closed her eyes to return to her cultivation.

Before long, the airship stabilized once again.

The ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the airship slowly landed at the airship station.

Everyone came out of their rooms one after another, heading towards the airship’s exit.

The Nascent Soul Elder saw Luo Shu, and his face lit up with joy. After the ten days of time, Luo Shu’s strength had recovered to the Nascent Soul Early-Mid Stage. Although not fully restored, for the Upper Pavilion, she was already a formidable force.

"Let’s go to Flying Cloud Plaza," the Nascent Soul Elder said with a smile, gesturing to everyone. He felt a bit of confidence for the competition this time because their team not only had Luo Shu but also Mo Lixu, Wu Zhiyuan, and Xu Bing—three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Such a lineup was rare in past competitions.
