She moved with an elegant grace, her steps as light as a breeze. Her embroidered robe was as white as snow, and a faint, cold mist seemed to envelop her, like a gossamer veil draped over her form.
At first glance, she appeared to be around twenty years old. Her delicate face resembled a pure white peony, exquisitely beautiful and strikingly charming.
“It’s her!”
Even the most renowned figures in the academy, such as Bei Luo, Hua Yinran, and Li Lianyu, were momentarily stunned.
“Liu Huan Yu!”
In an instant, the entire training ground erupted into a frenzy.
Many disciples’ gazes lingered on the woman’s alluring figure and the spot just below her flawless collarbone. It had to be said that she was an unparalleled beauty, and her daring choice of attire made it impossible for many male disciples to tear their eyes away.
It wasn’t just the male disciples who were captivated. Even the elder members of the academy, their faces flushed with excitement, found it hard to maintain their dignified composure and couldn’t help but steal a few extra glances.
Men are forever young at heart!
And which young man does not feel the stirrings of spring?
“Any disciple from the Five Great Families, I, Ye Wushuang, will accept the challenge, regardless of gender!” Ye Wushuang looked at the woman and said calmly.
“That’s wonderful!”
The woman smiled warmly and approached Ye Wushuang, stopping a yard away. She bowed slightly, and from Ye Wushuang’s angle, the view of her chest was laid bare. However, as she straightened up, she realized that Ye Wushuang was simply looking at her with calm eyes, seemingly unaffected by her actions.
Was this young man, in the prime of his youth, truly immune to her beauty?
Liu Huan Yu was taken aback for a moment.
Ye Wushuang, gripping his sword, looked at Liu Huan Yu and said indifferently, “I won’t go easy on you just because you’re a woman.”
“Better not!” Liu Huan Yu replied with a light laugh. “Otherwise, you’ll end up in a sorry state.”
At that moment, everyone’s interest was piqued.
On the side of the training ground, Bei Luo turned to Li Lianyu, Hua Yinran, and Gu Ruochen and said with a smile, “How about we place a bet?”
Li Lianyu shook his head and laughed, “What are you trying to gain from us this time?”
“Just for fun!” Bei Luo looked at the training ground and continued, “Ye Wushuang may only be at the third level of the Yuanfu Realm, but I’m sure you’ve all noticed that his Yuanfu’s spiritual energy is equivalent to twice that of an ordinary genius. In other words, he is by no means inferior to someone at the sixth level of the Yuanfu Realm. That’s why he can hold his own against Shang Shenyan, Qin Ming, and Chu Budong.”
The three men nodded slowly in agreement.
Bei Luo continued, “But now, things are different!”
“Liu Huan Yu is at the seventh level of the Yuanfu Realm!”
“Both the Ningshu and Yuanfu realms have a characteristic: there is a significant leap from the third to the fourth level and from the sixth to the seventh level. That’s why we have the general classification of early, middle, and late stages in the Yuanfu Realm.”
The early stage of the Yuanfu Realm refers to levels one to three, while the late stage refers to levels seven to nine.
“Liu Huan Yu, at the seventh level of the Yuanfu Realm, is stronger than Qin Ming and the other two combined.”
“Moreover… she has awakened the bloodline power of the Liu Clan, and…”
Bei Luo smiled and said, “She is also the strongest person in the academy, second only to us few and a handful of others like Chu Tian Shen and Qin Wen Jin.”
“Bei Luo, you’re usually so carefree, but your analysis is spot on!” Li Lianyu laughed. “So, you’re betting on Liu Huan Yu?”
Bei Luo’s words made sense. In the academy, the most outstanding members of the Five Great Families were Chu Tian Shen, Qin Wen Jin, Chu Ya Qin, Xiao Ruo Nan, Shang Gu Feng, and Liu Yi Yu. Apart from the Five Great Families, Bei Luo, Li Lianyu, Gu Ruochen, Hua Yinran, and a few others were also at the top.
Liu Huan Yu was indeed the second-strongest person after them.
At the seventh level of the Yuanfu Realm, she was a formidable force in any noble family within the capital.
Bei Luo laughed heartily and said, “No, I think… Ye Wushuang will win!”
Upon hearing this, the three men looked at Bei Luo with curiosity.
