Chapter 92

Luofeng asked again, "That guy who ignored the energy crystal reward, called Westin, must have quite a background, right?"

Aaron replied indifferently, "Not bad, he’s from the Wei family, one of the four major families in the Holy City."

"One of the four major families?" Luofeng was even more surprised. He had lived in the Holy City for so long and had heard of the four major families. They were all giants with substantial wealth, power, and influence. The Joannas' Jiao family and the Spikes' Si family were two of them.

If this Westin was a member of one of the four major families, then it made sense that he wouldn’t be interested in a second-grade energy crystal.

Unable to resist looking at him a few more times, Luofeng said, "This is called 'not bad,' Aaron, you sure have a big mouth!"

Aaron’s face was full of pride. Although the Wei family was indeed one of the four major families, they were the weakest among them, still lagging behind the Si family, so he didn’t think much of it.

Luofeng continued, "He must be very strong, but he didn’t sign up, so we won’t run into each other."

Aaron shouted, "Hey, are you scared just because he’s from one of the four major families? Worried about running into him? Luofeng, when did you become so spineless? That’s not like you!"

Luofeng shook his head, "Not at all, it’s just that a guy like him is delicate and precious. If I fight him, I can’t go all out. If I hurt him, I’ll be in trouble. It’s better to avoid it."

Aaron asked in confusion, "Hurt him? Isn’t your confidence a bit overblown?"

Luofeng quickly explained, "I mean, just in case. Don’t take it seriously."

Aaron’s heart stirred. From Luofeng’s tone, it seemed he had made a new breakthrough, and a significant one at that.

Could this kid have some secret ultimate move?

Hmph, if you don’t want to run into Westin, I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen. I’ll see if you really have a higher limit!

"Number 236!"

When he heard this number, Aaron walked into the testing area and came out again shortly after.

Luofeng quickly asked, "Aaron, how did it go?"

Aaron made a victory gesture and said with a proud look, "Do you even need to ask? With my strength, of course I passed. You should go next!"

The two had picked their number plates together, and their numbers were consecutive. After Aaron, it was Luofeng’s turn, number 237.

At this moment, Aaron said, "Ah, my stomach suddenly hurts. I need to go to the bathroom. Remember to wait for me after the test."

Luofeng was speechless, "Really, Aaron? What’s wrong with you? You say you’re uncomfortable and you’re really uncomfortable. Luckily, nothing happened during the test, or you would have been disqualified!"

"Ah, what can I do? Anyway, I’ll be back. See you later!"

With that, Aaron quickly ran out of the crowd.

Luofeng shook his head and walked into the testing area. A tester was already waiting. Because there were too many participants in the preliminary selection, he didn’t waste any time and immediately signaled to start.

The rules for the preliminary selection were simple: just show your abilities.

Luofeng activated his technique, and aura burst forth from his body, making him look much larger.

Fourth stage of demonic aura!

The testers’ faces showed surprise, not because Luofeng displayed such a high-level aura, but because his aura had no elemental characteristics.

Under normal circumstances, any student with a fourth-stage demonic aura, regardless of their element, would undoubtedly qualify for the competition. However, the current situation was special and had to be handled differently.

A martial artist with no elemental aura was like someone missing an arm; their martial techniques were half-disabled. Even if their aura was a few stages higher, their actual abilities would be much weaker.

The tester hesitated and asked, "Student, does your aura have no element?"

Luofeng answered honestly, "Yes, it doesn’t."

The tester frowned, "Then it might be—"

Before he could finish, Luofeng moved. His figure shot out like lightning, without any warning but with incredible speed. It wasn’t a straight line but a series of zigzags, and then he kicked the tester who was speaking.

"Slap!"

The tester didn’t make any move, and no aura burst forth. Luofeng was repelled. The testers for this competition were all experts, and their mere aura was enough to force Luofeng back.

The tester who was attacked wasn’t angry. One rule of the preliminary selection was that those who failed the aura test could demonstrate other special abilities, such as a killing move or a unique martial technique. If they could prove their strength, the result might be changed.

Luofeng didn’t use a killing move because he didn’t think it was necessary. This level of power was enough to change the tester’s mind.

What incredible speed, almost on par with a wind-element martial artist of the same level. The W-shaped arrow step he used was difficult to master even for wind-element users. That kick, however, was very heavy, contrary to the lightness of the wind element, more like earth-element aura.

No element, yet possessing characteristics of both wind and earth elements. This student was truly unique.

Thinking this, the tester said, "Passed!"

Luofeng smiled, as he had expected.

Energy crystals, here I come!

After leaving the testing area, Luofeng waited for a while but didn’t see his roommate return. Bored, he muttered, "Is the restroom in the arena that far? How could it take so long?"

At this moment, the crowd suddenly stirred, making way for someone with a special status.

When Luofeng saw that person, his face was full of shock.

He knew this person, and she had caused him some trouble in the past. Because of her, some people still looked at him unfavorably.

Her beautiful face always wore a faint smile, like a princess, noble and beautiful, like the moon in the night sky, instantly becoming the focus of everyone’s attention.

The little demon, Scarlett!

As the idol and goddess of countless young men in Victoria City, everyone hoped to catch a glimpse of Scarlett. However, few people had the chance to see the little demon, especially since her whereabouts had been mysterious for the past two years. Even many young nobles in the upper class hadn’t seen her, so her appearance was even more stunning.

"Wow, who is that beauty? I’ve never seen a woman as beautiful as her, and her aura is so noble!"

"Are you kidding? She’s Scarlett!"

"Scarlett, she’s the legendary Scarlett, the daughter of Spike the Supreme, the super genius?"

"Ah, I never thought Scarlett would come here. What is she doing here? Is she signing up for the competition? But I haven’t heard of her attending any academy?"

"Even if she’s not from an academy in Victoria City, with her status, she can definitely participate as an exception. But if she does, there won’t be much suspense about the champion!"

Everyone held their breath while discussing, watching the beloved little princess of the Si family approach. No one knew why she was there, but they all wanted to see her more.

Only Luofeng was an exception. He had experienced the trouble that beauty could bring.

A random encounter and a random comment from Scarlett had made his life uneasy for a long time. Now that the storm had finally calmed, Luofeng didn’t want to stir up trouble again.

Although he didn’t think Scarlett would come looking for him, he still lowered his head and kept repeating in his mind: She’s not looking for me, she’s not looking for me...
