Chapter 262: Lu Leyi's Fight for Honor

Wu Yi and two others walked around the deck, but still didn't find any trace of Lu Jing.

"Was this kid dragged down and eaten by those water cannon spiders that crawled out?!"

The long-haired man asked.

"No way, those spiders don't really like moving on the deck......"

Wu Yi again brought several people back to the spot where they first boarded the ship, and carefully observed the distribution of footprints on the ground.

She found Lu Jing's footprints, then followed them all the way until the prints disappeared at the stairs leading to the cabin.

"Could it be that he went in himself? That's practically suicide!"

Wu Yi's face looked grim; the evidence was right before her eyes, so Lu Jing must have entered the cabin himself.

The short-haired man said irritably, "I said earlier he's just a burden, and sure enough I was right—do we really have to go back in once more to rescue him?"

After saying that, the short-haired man looked at Wu Yi, leaving it up to her whether to go in and look for someone.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look—no matter what, these people were brought here by us," Wu Yi frowned, drawing the short knife hanging at her waist.

She narrowed her eyes, looking into the dark cabin as the sea breeze blew, a wave of bloody smell slipping into her nostrils.

"What a strong smell of blood—what happened in there?"

Wu Yi held the short dagger and led the way into the cabin.

The short-haired man also pulled out a strangely shaped curved blade and followed behind, saying, "I always feel something's off—could that kid have already been completely eaten up......"

"Shh, say less," Wu Yi put her finger to her lips, making a silencing gesture, "Everyone stay alert—our luck probably won't be that good this time."

The three of them formed a triangle and slowly felt their way deeper into the cabin.

Not long after, they saw two spider corpses that had been cut in half on the floor ahead.

"What a fast blade!"

After confirming the area was safe, Wu Yi stepped forward to examine the demon beast's corpse; a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, "It seems we underestimated him."

The short-haired man curled his lip, "Just two gatekeepers—any random Grand Master could handle that......"

The three detoured around the corpses and slime on the floor and continued downward to the lower level of the cabin.

The afternoon sea light filtered through the windows, casting onto the floor, looking quite harmonious.

But Wu Yi and her companions' steps grew slower and slower, their expressions turning grave once again.

"Something's off!"

"This place is too off—it's overly quiet!"

The short-haired man swallowed saliva, the silent environment making him somewhat on edge, "Just now when we came in, it wasn't this quiet—those water cannon spiders walking on the iron floor would make sharp, piercing sounds......"

"Exactly, now there's no sound at all—it's absurd, did the spiders all go to sleep......"

The long-haired man agreed, his small eyes darting fearfully around, "You guys think the spiders sensed us coming and retreated back into the sea?"

"Impossible," Wu Yi shook her head, rejecting his idea, "Demon beasts wouldn't abandon their unhatched eggs and flee on their own."

"Then what should we do—keep going down?"

"Continue, I'm also really curious what exactly happened down here......"

Under Wu Yi's leadership, they continued forward.

Not long after, the three reached the lowest level of the cruise ship.

Here and there were traces of water cannon spider activity, each step stepping on sticky spiderwebs.

The three exchanged a glance, then, with tacit understanding, rushed in together.

But the next second, the scene inside exceeded their expectations.

Wu Yi, who had been ready for battle, froze in place, her short dagger held blankly before her, staring blankly at the interior of the cabin.

All that could be seen in the dim cabin were piles of dismembered water cannon spider corpses scattered haphazardly.

Yellow-green slime and blood flowed from the heap of corpses, converging into little streams that ran along the channels into the drain.

A thick, indescribable strange smell surged wildly into the nostrils.

"Holy shit, what the hell!!"

The short-haired man was startled by the sight, his face turning deathly pale, his legs going weak as he was about to kneel.

Wu Yi smashed the nearby glass window with a punch, fresh sea breeze blowing in; she greedily inhaled the sweet air, looking toward the tall figure beyond the heap of corpses.

That figure had its back to them, earnestly wiping the long sword in hand.

As if hearing someone approach, the figure turned, its diamond-like eyes flashing with a mysterious light in the dim cabin.

"You've come, the mission is already completed."

Upon seeing the figure's appearance, Wu Yi and the two others' pupils instantly contracted, their faces filled with surprise.

"What?? The mission is completed!!"

The short-haired man stammered, his eyes darting between Lu Jing and the spider corpses, seemingly unable to accept this fact.

【Frankly, I've been using the HuanYuan app to read and chase updates—source switching, multiple voice options, works on Android and iOS.】

"I was blind, you're strong—this mission succeeded thanks to your brilliance......"

Wu Yi smiled as she sheathed the short dagger.

"I'll leave this to you—I have some things to do, so I'm heading out first."

Lu Jing nodded at Wu Yi, then turned and left.

Anwu City, Second Middle School.

The students of Grade 10 Class 5 were conducting combat drills on the playground.

"Next up, Lu Leyi versus Hu Tianrui!"

The Martial Way teacher's voice rang out.

A boy and girl in loose Martial Way uniforms stepped onto the sand, facing each other.

The surrounding students, upon hearing Lu Leyi's name, instantly became energized, gathered together to watch, and chatted among themselves.

"Quick look, it's Lu Leyi's turn to go on stage!"

"I heard she already got certified as a Martial Artist recently, her strength is terrifyingly strong."

"Yeah, she's on a completely different level from us, Hua Tianrui is really unlucky......"

Soon, the male student named Hua Tianrui on stage was knocked down by Lu Leyi with a single punch.

"I surrender, I surrender!"

The male student lay in the sand, looking quite embarrassed, raising both hands and shouting his surrender: "Lu Leyi, you're too strong—don't even mention first-year students, even third-year students aren't your match!"

Nobody laughed at the male student's embarrassment, mainly because Lu Leyi is simply too strong; whoever came would have the same outcome.

"I concede."

Lu Leyi modestly helped Hua Tianrui up.

"Clap—clap—"

Instantly, thunderous applause erupted on the stage.

The practical combat teacher watching from the side couldn't help but praise: "Classmate Lu Leyi not only has high Blood Qi, but her combat experience is also terrifyingly strong; she must have practiced a lot at home, everyone should learn from her more."

"Lu Leyi is awesome!"

"She's incredibly strong, no wonder she's Lu Jing's sister!"

"Who knows, Lu Leyi's future achievements might surpass her brother's!"

Lu Leyi's cheeks blushed slightly; being praised by so many made her feel a bit embarrassed.

My current achievements are all thanks to my older brother; how could I possibly surpass him?

Only Lu Leyi knows just how strong her older brother has become.
