Yue Hai had followed Li Chonglou for a relatively short time, but she had come to understand his personality. Usually, he was low-key and easygoing, and while not lacking in meticulousness and caution, he generally gave the impression of being a stable person.
However, the Li Chonglou Yue Hai saw at this moment was completely different. Not only was he high-profile and frenzied, but he was also constantly provoking Yu Xu! He was the picture of a battle maniac.
Yet, this kind of impact, compared to her previous impression, inspired even more admiration in Yue Hai. It was no exaggeration to say that at this moment, Yue Hai had become a true fan of Li Chonglou!
She was already passionate about martial arts and yearned for that kind of exhilarating life. Li Chonglou's current fighting spirit had completely ignited her!
How could she not become a fan?
In the midst of the battle, the two moved further and further away. Yu Xu had initially intended to defend and attack, looking for an opportunity to regain the upper hand, but he found himself increasingly shocked.
“How does this guy’s strength seem to be getting stronger and stronger!”
As soon as Yu Xu realized this, his anger seemed to be doused by a basin of cold water, vanishing instantly.
A chilling sensation coursed through his entire body. For the first time, he looked at Li Chonglou’s fists with fear.
In his mind, when Old Lin realized this, he suddenly felt it was all meaningless. He couldn’t help but say to Li Chonglou, “Xiao Li, I’m done playing. I’ll hand this guy back to you. He’s no good.”
“It’s you who’s too fierce.”
Li Chonglou said with some emotion. Although the soul characteristics after Old Lin’s possession were not as good as Shi Tou’s, his combat skills and battle instincts far surpassed Shi Tou’s. Coupled with the inherent strength amplification, being able to suppress Yu Xu without being affected by his aura was indeed normal.
At the same time, Li Chonglou also came to understand the uniqueness of the man before him.
Perhaps because he relied too much on his aura, this guy’s combat skills and foundation were not very good. If it were someone else, influenced by his aura, they naturally wouldn’t be able to see it.
They might even be suppressed by him at every turn.
But like this, encountering Li Chonglou, who was completely unaffected by his aura, the drawbacks were immediately exposed.
When their control returned to each other, Li Chonglou stopped his offensive.
Although Yu Xu was stunned, with the pressure greatly reduced, he could only stare with surprise, panting slightly.
“Let’s leave it at this. I have no deep enmity with you, so there’s no need to fight to the death.”
Li Chonglou said calmly, then turned and walked back to Yue Hai.
Yu Xu, already intimidated, did not utter any harsh words, but his proud nature made his expression unavoidable look ugly.
The only one who was likely in a good mood at the scene was Qing Lin. Perhaps it was because Li Chonglou had helped her vent her long-suppressed anger, and she now said to Li Chonglou with a beaming smile, “Then I’ll take you to find that old immortal now?”
“Mm.”
Li Chonglou nodded.
Yue Hai suddenly leaned in and whispered, “Brother Li, can I follow you from now on?”
Li Chonglou was stunned. Only then did he notice that Yue Hai’s gaze towards him had changed. If it was respect before, it had now turned into admiration.
What was going on with this guy?
Li Chonglou was puzzled but didn’t say much.
The location where they were standing was a vast open space. Here, they could still see the electric fence behind them. In front, three roads led in three directions.
According to Qing Lin, the left path led to the training area of the inner district, the right path led to the combat base, and the middle path led to the headquarters of the inner district.
“To go to the headquarters, you must have someone to lead the way. Otherwise, even inner district disciples cannot trespass. The old immortal’s office is in the headquarters area.”
Qing Lin had already taken on the role of a tour guide, leading the two as she explained the situation of the inner district. Yu Xu had long been forgotten by them.
Only after their figures had completely disappeared did Yu Xu retract his aura and return to his refined and calm demeanor.
However, his emotions had clearly become somewhat somber. Without a word, he also walked in the direction of the headquarters.
About fifteen minutes later, Yu Xu returned to Hua Nanhu’s office.
“Hmm? So fast? You didn’t go too hard, did you?”
Hua Nanhu, hearing the commotion, looked up and saw Yu Xu’s figure and asked.
As soon as Yu Xu asked for Li Chonglou and the other two’s location information, the person in charge had already informed Hua Nanhu, so Hua Nanhu knew where he had gone.
However, Hua Nanhu did not pay much attention to two mere intruders and was not concerned about this matter, only worrying that Yu Xu might have lost control and used excessive force.
That would be troublesome, especially at this juncture.
To his surprise, after he finished asking, Yu Xu did not respond but silently sat back down opposite him.
It was only then that Hua Nanhu noticed Yu Xu’s unusual emotions.
“Don’t tell me you lost?”
Yu Xu’s face immediately turned somewhat unsightly, but he still nodded honestly and said, “I lost, completely and utterly. I need to go into seclusion.”
Things that even Li Chonglou could perceive, how could he, as the person involved, not have discovered them? He had indeed been too arrogant because of his self-created aura, and he had neglected the training of his basic strength and combat skills. As a result, although he could have persevered or even counterattacked just now, he had completely fallen into the opponent’s rhythm.
This time, he had truly lost thoroughly!
However, his words startled Hua Nanhu. He couldn’t even attend to his work and stood up abruptly.
“No way, you actually lost? Even with your strength, you lost?”
As he spoke, Hua Nanhu’s expression became somewhat tense. He knew that these were intruders, not regular sparring matches. Didn’t this mean that a master had come to challenge them?
How could that be allowed!
Just as Hua Nanhu was about to pick up the phone, Yu Xu spoke.
“Don’t be nervous. From what I heard, they don’t seem to be here to cause trouble. They seem to be looking for Yang Dongtian, your Elder Yang. The person who brought them in is the granddaughter of Senior Qing. I met her once before, and I still recognize her.”
“So, you mean they are here to cause trouble for Yang Dongtian?”
Hua Nanhu first breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression became somewhat strange.
Yu Xu nodded.
“Alright, then let him handle it himself.”
Hua Nanhu said and sat down again, but after thinking for a moment, he stood up again.
“No, I still have to go and see. Even you lost so convincingly, I want to see who this divine being is.”
Convincingly…
