Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: Let Me Do It
However, the Sea God Pavilion Master hadn’t expected that these youngsters, who had entered the Inner Court less than a year ago and hadn’t even really studied there, would display such astonishing strength. The level was so shocking that even she had trouble believing it.
Could it be that they really could defeat so many seniors and directly earn the title of Shrek Seven Monsters?
At this moment, the fourth contestant from each side had entered the field, and Zhang Yuanyuan had already been defeated.
On Lan Xuanyu’s side, there were still Lan Xuanyu himself, Tang Yuge, and Lan Mengqin remaining.
Yuanen Huihui clearly still had considerable fighting power; despite a sure amount of previous expenditure, continuing the battle should be no problem. And on the side of the inner court disciples, there were also only three spots left for contestants!
The direction of the next match had become hard to predict. But no one would think anymore that Lan Xuanyu and his seven companions had no chance of winning.
“I’ll go next.” Just at that moment, a glimmer of a voice emerged from among the inner court disciples.
Upon hearing this voice, everyone looked over in unison. Amid the crowd, a red light rose gradually, floating upward.
This was a woman dressed in a red skirt; Shrek Academy outer court’s uniform was dark green, while the Inner Court’s was red. But today, since it was the Sea God’s Love Fate Meeting, there was no requirement to wear the uniform.
Yuanen Huihui was certain that he hadn’t seen this woman at the Love Fate Meeting before.
She was a beautiful woman, but unlike most women’s delicate beauty, hers was a beauty of inner depth, projecting a very calm demeanor. She did not seem particularly outstanding at first glance, but upon closer observation, one could find that her appearance and temperament seemed to contain profound depths.
This could be said to be the most unique woman Yuanen Huihui had ever seen.
On the boat, Tang Miao was somewhat surprised and said to Meng Fei beside him, “Why is she here too? Isn’t she testing a new type of soul tool in the sect?”
Meng Fei replied, “Why can’t she come? She hasn’t officially graduated from the Inner Court yet, so why can’t she? Besides, don’t forget who she fancies. She’s here surely for that boy. Speaking of which, that boy is not a good thing, hmph!”
Tang Miao laughed and said, “Alright, stop criticizing them, weren’t you also charming and causing trouble when you were younger? Moreover, that boy hasn’t shown any indication of reciprocity. Plainly speaking, our poor girl is just wishfully thinking. However, her presence today must mean she received some news and especially came to help him. I didn’t expect that. If it wasn’t for the situation beforehand looking grim, I guess she wouldn’t have appeared; it must have been out of necessity. The sparring today has truly heated up.”
When the inner court disciples saw this woman entering, a series of surprised exclamations erupted.
“The Red Lotus Witch is back? When did she return?”
“Yeah! I didn’t notice earlier! She didn’t participate in the Sea God’s Love Fate Meeting. Ever since that year’s Love Fate Meeting…”
“Shh, don’t say it. It’d be terrible if she heard you. Don’t you know the personality of this senior sister?”
“Mmhmm.”
The murmurs echoed softly, yet no one questioned the legitimacy of this woman’s participation.
The Inner Court Eldest Sister Yu Yingxin, who had returned amongst her fellow inner court disciples, naturally saw this female student’s entrance and couldn’t help frowning slightly, subconsciously turning to look at the man who had saved her beforehand.
That man said in a somewhat embarrassed whisper, “I didn’t know she’d be back.”
“Mhm,” Yu Yingxin merely nodded, not saying much but her expression turned a touch colder.
Red Lotus Witch? Yuanen Huihui had heard this name, yet, it made him somewhat confused. Because in all the information they had gathered before, there was no mention of such a person!
Who is the Red Lotus Witch? An inner court disciple? Or an outstanding inner court disciple? But why didn’t they know about her?
Not just him, Lan Xuanyu was equally baffled.
Who exactly was this peculiar woman, who rose up among the inner court disciples, dressed in a red gown, and with both red hair and red eyes?
“I think, I know who she is,” Tang Yuge, who stood beside Lan Xuanyu, suddenly said.
Lan Xuanyu turned to her curiously and asked, “Who is this senior student?”
With a solemn expression and slightly furrowed brows, Tang Yuge said, “There were legends about her when I had just entered the academy. That was before you guys even joined. Red Lotus Witch Chen Wuzhu. A senior student who dares to love and hate.”
“It is said that she once had a special fondness for a senior male student of the inner court. Later, at the Sea God’s Luck matchmaking convention, she expressed her love with all her might, but that senior ultimately chose someone else. In a fit of anger, the Red Lotus Witch challenged her rival and emerged victorious, breaking up the pair. Although she didn’t end up with that senior, according to the rules of the Sea God’s Luck matchmaking convention, that senior and the other senior female student couldn’t be considered successfully matched. This was very famous at that time. Back then, Sister Chen was renowned as the strongest female student, and not just that, but the strongest among all female inner court disciples.”
When Tang Yuge first entered the academy? That would have been eight or nine years ago. Chen Wuzhu, having been the strongest in the inner court eight or nine years ago, one could only imagine her strength.
“Could she be stronger than the Inner Court Eldest Sister?” Qian Lei, who had stopped feigning death, asked curiously by Lan Xuanyu’s side.
Tang Yuge gave him a glance and said, “The rival that Sister Chen challenged back then was Sister Yu.”
On hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel like taking a sharp breath.
The same went for Bai Xiuxiu, who had just fought a match against Yu Yingxin and was all too clear about the strength of the Inner Court Eldest Sister. Yu Yingxin had, on her own, managed to overwhelm him and Liu Feng. If Chen Wuzhu’s strength was even greater than the Eldest Sister’s, what level would that be? She surely hadn’t achieved God Rank, otherwise, she wouldn’t be here for this exchange. But even if she hadn’t become a god, she must have approached the ultimate level, right?
“Ultimate Douluo?” Lan Xuanyu frowned deeply.
“Very likely,” Tang Yuge said softly, a glimmer of concern flashing in her eyes. What kind of scene would it be when Yuanen Huihui faced Chen Wuzhu?
According to the legends, this senior student was known to be ruthless. When she had challenged the Inner Court Eldest Sister Yu Yingxin, she left her seriously injured and faced severe repercussions from the academy. Later, it was said that she went to the Tang Sect for further training and seldom returned to the Inner Court. Unexpectedly, she had also come back today.
Chen Wuzhu was rising, and aside from her fair skin, her entire being seemed almost entirely enveloped in red, giving off an especially peculiar aura. Moreover, compared with Yuanen Huihui’s sea-green clothes, her colors stood out in stark contrast.
“Chen Wuzhu.” She nodded at Yuanen Huihui, announcing her own name.
“Greetings, senior student. My name is Yuanen Huihui,” Yuanen Huihui quickly bowed in salute. This senior student appeared to be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, clearly much older than him.
“Let’s begin,” Chen Wuzhu said succinctly. There was no emotional fluctuation in her gaze, and she didn’t release her Martial Soul or Soul Power, but for some reason, Yuanen Huihui felt an indescribable sense of oppression when facing her.
It was as if, in some inexplicable way, he was not facing an opponent but the whole world itself.
Aboard the ship, the Sea God Pavilion Master sighed, “This girl is too stubborn, truly a pity. In terms of talent, in their generation, she is the strongest among the female disciples, and in a hundred years, there hasn’t been anyone who has surpassed her.”
Elder Yi smiled and said, “What about the new generation? What do you think about the girls from Lan Xuanyu’s group, can they surpass her?”
