Chapter 376: Seeing Yu Lang Beaten Into Submission

Under the towering, mountain-like Power Tree, Li Luo saw Seeing Yu Lang again after a month's separation.

He looked up at the Power Tree's branches and leaves that blocked the sky and sun, his expression calm, his emotions steady; the wind blew through his hair, making him appear slightly melancholy and deep.

"What are you looking at?" Li Luo walked to his side, looked up for a while too, then asked.

Seeing Yu Lang did not answer him, still maintaining the posture of looking up.

Li Luo felt something was wrong, so he forced his head down, then saw that Seeing Yu Lang's eyes were bruised and swollen, as if he had been brutally beaten; immediately he said angrily, "Who dares treat my big brother Seeing Yu Lang like this?"

Seeing Yu Lang waved his hand, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Don't be so loud."

Then he secretly glanced at Bai Bai Doudou, who was already standing beside Bai Bai Mengmeng, and said, "Recently the Captain feels my progress is not obvious, so she is carrying out a beating full of care toward me; these are all marks left during sparring."

Li Luo said speechlessly, "Then what the hell are you pretending to be deep for here?"

Seeing Yu Lang coughed dryly and said proudly, "Under the Captain's care, I have reached the first mark of the Life-Mark Stage."

"You've changed; you are no longer the proud Seeing Yu Lang of before." Li Luo sighed and shook his head.

With tears in his eyes, Seeing Yu Lang said, "Damn it, you'd change too if you got beaten three times a day."

Li Luo patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "But this is good too; the stronger your power, the stronger your ability to protect your life in the future. You are also a Purple Radiance student; I suppose you will attend the Holy Cup Battle. When the time comes, you will know the importance of strength."

Seeing Yu Lang looked at Li Luo strangely and said, "What does the Holy Cup Battle have to do with me? Even if I go and participate, I'll just be a nobody. Does the academy even expect me to bring glory?"

Li Luo then smiled mysteriously.

This smile made Seeing Yu Lang suddenly feel a chill; suspiciously, he said, "Li Luo, did you do something wrong to me again?"

Li Luo said seriously, "I regard brothers as my own limbs and hands; how could I do such a thing?"

Seeing Yu Lang muttered, "This line was clearly mine to say before."

While the two were talking, Bai Bai Doudou suddenly walked over holding Bai Bai Mengmeng's hand; her gaze was somewhat complex as she looked at Li Luo, and she said softly, "Li Luo, thank you."

Li Luo glanced at Bai Bai Mengmeng, whose eyes were slightly red, and understood that Bai Bai Doudou's gratitude was probably because Bai Mengmeng's sense of taste had recovered; immediately he waved his hand and said cheerfully, "It's a small matter; Bai Mengmeng also helped me a lot; this is just something I promised her I would do."

Bai Bai Doudou said seriously, "Regardless, I owe you a favor; in the future, if there is a chance, I will repay it."

After saying that, she didn't say much more and pulled Bai Bai Mengmeng away.

Seeing Yu Lang watched this scene with some shock and said, "Li Luo, what exactly did you do? How could you make that she-devil speak so gently?"

Li Luo smiled and said, "I just helped Bai Mengmeng resolve a hidden trouble."

"You just heard it; Bai Bai Doudou said she owes me a favor. Should I ask her to beat you a few times less in the future?"

Hearing this, Seeing Yu Lang hesitated; after struggling for a while, he said, "Let's forget it; she beats me for my own good."

Li Luo's expression was strange, as if he had realized something: "You've developed feelings from being beaten?"

Seeing Yu Lang immediately refuted, "What kind of joke is that? Am I the kind of person Seeing Yu Lang is? Who in the entire Saint Profound Star Academy doesn't know that Seeing Yu Lang has the hardest bones?"

Li Luo rubbed his chin and said, "Then do you think my looks would have any effect on Bai Bai Doudou?"

"Li Luo, you have no self-awareness; I admit you are a little bit more handsome than me, but that is useless to Bai Bai Doudou; she is not the shallow kind who only looks at appearances." Seeing Yu Lang, understanding his meaning, immediately sneered.

"My inner qualities, my talent, my efforts are actually quite worthy of praise," Li Luo said.

Seeing Yu Lang's expression shifted; he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, Brother Luo, I admit your looks have a bit of killing power; this kind of attempt is completely meaningless!"

Li Luo, with a half-smile, patted Seeing Yu Lang's shoulder and said, "Seeing Yu Lang, I didn't see it before; so you actually like this kind of thing..."

This kid really has developed feelings from being beaten by Bai Bai Doudou.

Seeing Yu Lang's eyes showed some struggle; he murmured, putting up a final resistance, "Not really; actually, I still prefer the gentle and lovely type..."

"Don't even think about the gentle and lovely type; Bai Bai Doudou has a domineering personality. Although she doesn't reject you now, she is far from liking you yet, so your future will be heavy with responsibility and a long road ahead; work hard," Li Luo said.

Seeing Yu Lang hesitated for a moment and said, "Can Bai Bai Doudou be more domineering than Senior Sister Jiang? Brother Luo, teach me; how do you manage to be involved with other girls outside while having a fiancée?"

Li Luo's mouth twitched; with a hostile gaze fixed on Seeing Yu Lang, he said, "Friend, you can eat anything randomly, but you cannot speak words randomly; I am making friends in a proper way."

Just as Seeing Yu Lang was about to speak, a familiar voice suddenly inserted itself from the side: "What are you two chatting about? Involved with whom?"

Li Luo turned his head and saw Lv Qing'er approaching with light steps; today she wore the Saint Profound Star Academy uniform; the well-fitted clothes outlined the girl's slender and delicate figure; her straight, long legs were covered by white, smooth silk stockings; the fair skin revealed between the stockings and the short skirt was somewhat striking under the sunlight.

Li Luo smiled at her and said without changing his expression, "Seeing Yu Lang said he wants to get involved with Bai Bai Doudou and asked me for advice."

Lv Qing'er smiled and looked at Seeing Yu Lang with interest: "You like Bai Bai Doudou?"

Seeing Yu Lang's expression became awkward; ultimately, unable to withstand Lv Qing'er's curious gaze, he retreated and slipped away.

"I didn't expect this fellow to say he likes the gentle type in his daily talk, yet he actually gets happier the more he gets beaten," Li Luo said with amusement.

Lv Qing'er nodded slightly and said, "Bai Bai Doudou is actually a pretty good person; although she is very strict with Seeing Yu Lang in daily life, that is truly for his own good; Seeing Yu Lang should be able to feel it. However, this goodness mostly comes from Bai Bai Doudou's identity as Captain; as for the kind of affection between men and women, it is not yet too intense now."

"So if Seeing Yu Lang truly likes her, he still has to work hard."

Li Luo nodded; among the many female students of the First Star Court, if one talks about appearance and beauty, Bai Bai Doudou might be weaker than Lv Qing'er and Bai Bai Mengmeng, but actually, in terms of popularity, she is not lower than the latter two; especially among girls, Bai Bai Doudou's influence can be called top-tier.

After all, Bai Bai Doudou has a bold personality and strong strength, which makes her very popular among many girls.

"By the way, how is your side? That Lin Suo..." Li Luo turned his gaze to Lv Qing'er and asked with a smile.

Lv Qing'er smiled slightly and said, "I haven't paid attention; but given my mother's personality, he most likely won't have a chance to come out again."

Li Luo nodded; he had no thoughts of sympathy, after all, since Lin Suo had developed such vicious intentions toward Lv Qing'er, he would naturally have to pay the price for his actions in the end.

As for the people behind Lin Suo, they had nothing to do with him; that was a problem Fish Yu Hongxi needed to consider.

At this moment, the Purple Radiance teams of the First Star Court all arrived; Li Luo saw Wang Wang Hejiu and Du Zebeixuan; at this time, the gazes of these two were also somewhat complex as they looked at him, because they all knew the news that Li Luo had reached the fifth mark of the Life-Mark Stage; now, in terms of rank, Li Luo had already surpassed them.

This made the two feel somewhat stifled, after all, when they first entered the academy, they had completely suppressed Li Luo in terms of Power Level.

While they were feeling frustrated here, Li Luo also sighed and said, "It seems that in this month, other students have improved greatly too; we gained benefits from the Golden Dragon Dojo, and only I and Qin Qin Zhulu reached the fifth mark; as a result, Bai Bai Doudou, Wang Wang Hejiu, and others haven't fallen behind us by much."

"Because this month marks the start of the special training period; during the time we were in the Golden Dragon Dojo, the Purple Radiance instructors within the academy were not idle; Bai Bai Doudou, Wang Wang Hejiu, and others, as seed students, naturally received full cultivation; the cultivation resources of the Saint Profound Star Academy cannot be underestimated."

Lv Qing'er chuckled lightly and said, "Moreover, your 'not falling behind by much' is not very accurate; as far as I know, even Wang Wang Hejiu only condensed the fourth mark a few days ago; their Power Marks must not be as condensed and substantial as yours and Qin Qin Zhulu's, because the Dao-Gold Bestowal truly raised two ranks; if we were to distinguish more carefully, they are at the early stage of the fourth mark, while you and Qin Qin Zhulu are at the late stage of the fifth mark."

Li Luo said with a mix of helplessness and laughter, "There is no such distinction."

"It's a metaphor."

Lv Qing'er said, "However, with this advantage, if there are no accidents, you and Qin Qin Zhulu will inevitably lead everyone and be the first to cross into the Transformation-Image Stage."

"Let's hope so."

Li Luo smiled, raising his gaze to see several figures flash into view before the Phase Force Tree — they were precisely the few Purple-Glight mentors from the One-Star Academy.

Next, they should be entering that "Sacred Wood Boundary Cave"... Regarding this so-called scarce cultivation resource of the Sacred Mystic Star Academy, he was quite curious and expectant.
