Chapter 68

"Hehe." Sylph lowered her head, a little embarrassed.

She had been slacking off in the territory, and hadn't changed her battle attire for a very long time.

Not to mention that a mythical elf hardly ever got dirty,

and even if she did, Iloti could clean it spotless with a single Bright Sacred Radiance.

Su Yu turned around, and Sylph began changing her clothes.

The form-fitting leather armor clung to her curvaceous, well-proportioned body.

The elf's strikingly slender waist was cinched with some unnamed branch, serving as her belt.

The green leaves on the branch were still perfectly fresh.

Su Yu touched those leaves — they were not fake.

He had no idea what kind of ability could keep them in such a state of perpetual vitality.

A short green skirt, reaching down to her knees.

Su Yu glanced at Sylph's jade feet, but said nothing.

Sylph disliked wearing shoes; wearing shoes would interfere with her attunement to the wind.

She strode upon the wind itself, so she had no fear that mud would dirty her feet.

"Let's go, my lord.~"

Her emerald eyes brimming with a thick, playful smile, Sylph took Su Yu's arm.

Myriad Realms City, Tianyun District.

The All-Human Civilization Lord Selection Tournament was in full swing.

The "Simulated Battle Network" could be accessed via the Lord Terminal,

no matter if you were on the Myriad Realms Battlefield or anywhere in Myriad Realms City.

Everyone came here to compete mostly for the atmosphere, and for the feeling of taking part.

The lords of the Blue Star Alliance were extremely nervous.

Bai Bai Xiaowei, on the other hand, looked utterly carefree and unbothered.

She had already mentally prepared herself to be eliminated in the first round, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

"Su Yu, you compete first. We'll observe and learn."

As Gu Ling'er spoke, her gaze kept stealing glances at the golden-haired elf by Su Yu's side.

This elf was simply too beautiful.

Beautiful enough to leave one breathless,

even more beautiful than in the pictures.

An image alone could never capture so much of her aura.

"Su Shen, this elf is really just..."

"Too gorgeous."

"I'd love to be her dog."

"Well, you'd have to ask Su Shen whether he's taking slaves or not."

Su Yu's classmates had come too, mainly to join the excitement and cheer Su Yu on.

Now, as long as they had even the slightest connection to Su Yu,

they could get a bit of fringe benefit, which made them very happy.

Humans from thirteen universes had their eyes fixed on this place.

Those factions hoping to befriend Su Yu had showered his classmates, along with everyone in the Blue Star Alliance, with all sorts of benefits.

Right now,

they were staring wide-eyed at Sylph,

drool spilling all over the floor.

Gu Ling'er suddenly understood

why Su Yu's gaze had never wavered for even a second when he looked at her.

No matter how deliberately she dressed up, no matter if she wore her favorite white princess dress,

she could never catch even a fleeting moment of Su Yu's distraction.

With such a beautiful elf in his territory,

keeping him company day and night,

he must have grown so accustomed to beauty that it barely registered!

When she had once seen Sylph's picture, Gu Ling'er had only thought her beautiful,

but now, standing before her in person, she felt so ashamed of her own plainness that she couldn't even muster a sliver of jealousy.

Even the princess herself felt this way,

let alone the impact she had on all the male comrades.

Tian Feng and the chubby kid Jian Ruiming felt their heads buzzing.

A Jiesen gazed at Sylph in a complete daze,

and it took him a long while to come back to his senses, after which he hurriedly lowered his head,

terrified that one more glance would incur Su Yu's displeasure.

"Lord Su Yu, are you taking slaves in your territory?"

The chubby kid Jian Ruiming shuffled over to Su Yu with a fawning look on his face.

Among his classmates, he was the only one who dared to joke with Su Yu like this.

"Not accepting." Su Yu gave him an odd look.

"Ah, what's so good about being a lord? Truly not as good as being a slave in Great Lord Su Yu's territory."

Jian Ruiming spoke, sighing with emotion, the fat on his round face quivering three times.

"Great Lord Su Yu, having you is the honor of Class 2."

Class president Xu Ting, looking at Su Yu curiously, said in a crisp voice.

"Haha, you don't know how that old headmaster pesters the class president every day."

"I'm afraid the name the class president has heard most often lately is the two words 'Su Yu.'"

The classmates chatted and laughed, full of mirth.

Aside from their initial dazed moment upon seeing Sylph,

they all very consciously averted their gazes.

This was Great Lord Su Yu's hero; no one dared to harbor even half a crooked thought.

Beauty is not only for admiration — sometimes it can also make one awestruck at the mere sight.

Su Yu exchanged a few words with everyone,

then began entering the "Simulated Battle Network" and clicked open 【All-Human Civilization Lord Selection Tournament】,

starting to match for a simulated battle.

Originally, he hadn't much wanted to come to this Myriad Realms City.

There were too many people, and even with dimensional space separating them it felt stifling.

It was only because of the preliminary round that he couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm.

The Blue Star Nation Lord and Gu Gu Linger had also invited him many times, so he accepted.

"That person, is he the Blue Star's hope?"

"Yes, Lady Mystic Maiden."

"If that epic-grade bow could be mine, I would surely lead humanity to achieve higher ranks in the myriad realms ranking battles. A pity."

On a distant high tower, a woman dressed in a cyan Mystic Maiden robe, with three white clouds embroidered on the cuffs and chest,

felt a slight sense of regret.

But it was merely regret.

She was the human race's Holy Maiden, known as the Heavenly Mystic Maiden, affiliated with the cultivation civilization.

The Heavenly Mystic Maiden withdrew her gaze, shook her head, and began matching for a duel.

【You have entered the simulation space.】

【Duel matching complete.】
