Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 144 Battle 2

It's over. Lu Yunshi's first battle in the third assessment has come to an end. Out of a total of two hundred people, only one hundred remain after the first battle.

In name, these 100 people are the top 100 average students of the year, and these 100 people should all be students in the late stage of Naling.

Now, out of a hundred people, one has entered the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and this person just advanced from the elementary school entrance exam this year. It's as strange as a husky mixed into a wolf pack.

The audience fell silent, and so did the referee, but in the end, the referee still declared Lu Yunshi the winner.

There was nothing he could do; Lu Yunshi hadn't violated any rules, and he had won normally.

Rather, Lu Yunshi's approach is perfectly acceptable in a battle between cultivators. So, although the referee was speechless, as a cultivator, he could understand it.

Upon careful consideration, Lu Yunshi's ability to defeat a powerful enemy despite his weak physique is truly admirable.

Of course, Lu Yunshi didn't care who appreciated him or who looked down on him. He just went to other arenas after his victory to see how other people's matches were going and to check the combat data of those strong opponents so that he could make adjustments quickly if there were any mistakes.

Soon, Lu Yunshi arrived at the edge of another examination hall, watching the battle between two students on the stage. One of them, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, was a student recruited by Lao Liu, named Zhao Li.

On the other side was the fiftieth person on the previous list of average students.

The battle between Fifty and Zhao Li was very intense. He was stronger than Zhao Li, but in the battle, Zhao Li seemed to have anticipated it and dodged his all-out attack at every crucial moment, and even threw a punch and two kicks back at him.

The damage wasn't significant, but the insults were extremely strong, and after being punched and kicked so many times, it was indeed hard to withstand.

In contrast, Zhao Li, though his breathing was unsteady, maintained a confident expression, as if he had everything under control.

"Hmm...more or less." Lu Yunshi nodded, knowing that his strategy was effective, and then left.

What is a strategy guide? It's something that lets people know the content in advance so they can prepare a response strategy early on.

The strategy guide Lu Yunshi provided was about the attack habits of the powerful enemies in the third assessment, as well as information on their combat skills.

Having a strategy doesn't guarantee you'll win, but it will at least make your defeat less embarrassing.

Although most of the recruits were eliminated in the second round of assessments, the combat data of the formidable enemies they brought with them were very useful.

Lu Yunshi conducted in-depth research, induction, and summarization on these points, and finally derived the essence.

Of course, Lu Yunshi didn't devise strategies for everyone; his focus was on the fifty students on the average student list.

The strategy guide was originally created by Lu Yunshi for Lu Yunxi's sake. With Lu Yunxi's strength, she is undoubtedly capable of entering the final assessment.

She only needed to pay attention to those people, so Lu Yunshi's strategy focused on them.

But since he still has seven other people entering the third round of assessment, he will naturally pass on the strategy to them. The longer they last, the higher his ranking will be, and he will also get more data. It's a win-win situation, so why not?

With the academy's assessments being so rigorous, how much of it can Lu Yunshi possibly accomplish?

He couldn't make Lu Yunxi stronger, nor could he make the enemy weaker. He could only do what he could to help Lu Yunxi better understand her enemy and prepare herself in advance.

After wandering around for a while, Lu Yunshi found the place where Lu Yunxi was competing. Her opponent was a demon cultivator ranked in the top fifty on the list. At this moment, she was beating her opponent very suffocatingly.

Undoubtedly, despite her stubbornness, she had absorbed the strategies Lu Yunshi had been feeding her over the past few days.

There is no doubt that Lu Yunxi is stronger than her opponent, but after learning about her opponent's fighting habits under such circumstances, she achieved a result where one plus one is greater than two.

The battle, which should have been a back-and-forth affair, turned into a one-sided victory for Lu Yunxi, and even when the opponent used their trump card, it was too late to turn the tide.

After witnessing Lu Yunxi's victory, before the other party noticed him, Lu Yunshi went to find Li Hongying. At this moment, Li Hongying was fighting very hard and seemed unable to hold on for much longer.

If Li Hongying were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, with her own abilities and the strategy provided by Lu Yunshi, her chances of winning would likely be much higher.

To Lu Yunshi's surprise, Li Hongying showed signs of a breakthrough during the battle with the powerful enemy.

Unlike Lu Yunshi, Li Hongying's opponent was a man of martial virtue. Seeing that Li Hongying was showing signs of a breakthrough, he was actually willing to stop and wait.

Unfortunately, Li Hongying's pride did not allow her to continue fighting after breaking through. After breaking through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, she readily admitted defeat.

Seeing the other person's obvious disappointment, Lu Yunshi sighed and decided to end his observation trip for the day and go home with him.

The second round of exams began at noon the following day.

One hundred people, fifty battles taking place simultaneously.

"It's him again, Lu Yunshi. I wonder what kind of crazy methods this guy will come up with to win today."

"Win? I doubt it. Those who fought in the first round were truly elite soldiers. His little tricks are no match for real strength."

"That's right, I'm going to see how this guy loses today."

"What...what did you say?" A beautiful young girl suddenly appeared behind the students who were talking to Lu Yunshi, her face as black as charcoal.

“We…we were talking about Lu Yunshi. What happened? That guy is so scheming and backstabbing, he's completely inhuman.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his two companions tugged at his sleeves, but it was too late.

"Hmph, I think you'd better not be a human being." After saying that, Li Hongying punched him, then left with satisfaction, found a seat, raised the banner she had prepared in advance, and started shouting without caring about the stares of others.

"Boss, boss, you're the best! Boss, boss, you're the strongest! Go boss! Boss is invincible..."

At this moment, Lu Yunshi, standing on the stage, silently withdrew his gaze.

Girl, if you do this, it'll be so embarrassing if I don't win.

"Hey! Your woman... she's got some character." Samo, Lu Yunshi's opponent in this battle and also his former partner, gave Lu Yunshi a thumbs up.

"Ah..." Lu Yunshi opened his mouth, but in the end he could only nod helplessly. "That's right, she does have a lot of personality."

“Even in our demon race, a woman like this is highly sought after. You should cherish her.” Samo said with his arms crossed. Having cooperated with Lu Yunshi once before, he was not in a hurry to fight, but instead exchanged pleasantries with him.

"Hmm." Lu Yunshi nodded slightly, then suddenly said, "But Uncle, she's my sister."

"Huh?" Samo paused, his eyes widening.

In that instant, Lu Yunshi made a zero-frame move, and five talismans flew out instantly, transforming into cloths that wrapped around Samo. Then, he flashed forward and swiftly charged out.
