"Ah."
The cloaked figure nodded, but no extra smile appeared on his face.
He knew that the real trouble now lay not with the college boy, but with the person behind him who had concealed his presence.
He took a deep breath and said:
"Sir, since you're already here, why don't we meet?"
Luo Xiu smiled slightly.
A karate chop to the neck sent the college student sprawling to the ground.
Then he spoke:
"haven't seen you for a long time……"
As he spoke, Luo Xiu took a large step forward and reached for the hood on the cloaked man's head.
Although he couldn't see Luo Xiu's figure, the cloaked man's hair stood on end. He immediately took out a pair of golden bells from his magic pocket and was about to ring them.
But Luo Xiu was clearly faster; his hand had already grabbed the brim of the cloaked man's hood, and then he suddenly yanked it off.
Beneath the cloak was an exceptionally handsome silver-haired man, his expression one of utter surprise.
"It really is you, Schup."
Luo Xiu looked at that familiar face and smiled as he spoke.
Upon hearing the unseen person call his real name, Hup's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately rang the bell in his hand.
This is a Tier 4 piece of equipment he brought from home, which can cause a certain degree of mental interference.
Although he was only at the third tier and couldn't unleash the full power of the equipment, as long as he could cause some disturbance to the person in the shadows, he would have other ways to escape.
However, this level was clearly too weak for Luo Xiu, who had a mental resistance level of four. He ignored the bell and grabbed Xiu Pu's arm.
Then he exerted his strength.
"Ouch!!!"
Shoep's face contorted in pain, and the bell he was holding fell to the ground.
It was at this moment that the invisibility potion on Luo Xiu's body failed, revealing his true form.
"It's you?!"
Hep immediately forgot even the pain.
Even though Luo Xiu was wearing a raccoon mask and no cloak, Xiu Pu recognized him immediately.
He could never forget that figure; it was this very man who had given him his first lesson after leaving the capital.
As the initial surprise subsided, fear followed.
Damn it, how did I run into this bastard again...
A bitter smile played on Schup's lips.
Little did they know that Luo Xiu was also helpless at this moment.
He had assumed that someone with prophetic abilities would be connected to a great prophet.
The prophecy will not be made by a sorcerer of the prophetic school, but by this bard who ran away from the capital.
……
Kanril Inner City.
In a room filled with refreshing greenery.
A figure was raging at a purple barrier in front of him:
"How long do we have to wait, Larry?! How long do we have to wait?!"
"Didn't you say that person would come to the inner city?! Where is he?! Why hasn't he come yet?!"
With each word spoken, the figure's voice grew louder, and his expression became incredibly impatient.
"Don't rush, don't rush! You're still the same as always, getting anxious over the smallest things."
Larry, trapped behind the barrier, spoke helplessly:
"The Great Prophet said he would go to the inner city. Search carefully these next few days; you might have missed something."
"Did you miss something?"
The figure's voice grew even more frantic:
"Do you know how much time I spend loitering around there every day! Do you know how many excuses I've made and how many people I've arranged to go find him!"
"Do you know that!"
"Alright, relax. Do you think I'm not worried? I'm more worried than you! Those guys in the capital are watching my every move, I can't go anywhere!"
Larry's emotions seemed to have become frantic as well, influenced by the figure's agitation:
"He'll definitely go anyway, so keep looking for a few more days!"
"Be patient! You know how difficult it is to advance from the top four to the top five! This isn't just my chance, it's yours too!"
"I'm not going to say anything more, transmitting the image consumes too much energy."
Larry's figure disappeared from the screen.
Upon hearing the announcement of the fourth to fifth round, the figure in the room gradually calmed down.
Yes, it's a four-into-five elimination round.
Everything was for the sake of advancing from four to five.
Let's wait, let's wait, we've already waited for so many years.
P.S.: These words are free, and I apologize to all my readers. I'm currently at a crucial stage of graduation (my child really needs to prioritize graduation), so updates might be a bit shorter. I'll make up for the missed updates later; if I can't manage 10,000 words a day, I should be able to manage 80,000. Also, the reader group inexplicably crashed; I'll fix that when I have more free time.
Chapter 99 Someone Came to the Door
Inside the lavishly decorated room, wavy light streamed through the window, elongating the shadows of Luo Xiu and Xiu Pu, whose wrist he was gripping and who was wincing in pain.
"Tell me, Your Excellency, what's going on this time?"
Luo Xiu said helplessly.
He used the invisibility potion his teacher gave him, but it was all for naught.
Of course, it wasn't entirely without gain; at least he knew his account had been hacked.
Shoep gave an awkward smile:
"Why don't you let go first, and then I'll explain to you slowly?"
Luo Xiuzheng was prepared to agree.
The chubby kid next to him rushed over from beside Xiupu:
"Hey, who are you! Let go of my boss!"
"No! Philip! Stop!"
When Hugh saw the fat boy swinging his fists and charging towards Luo Xiu, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately used his other hand to stop him.
He didn't know much about Luo Xiu's personality, but he knew Luo Xiu's strength all too well. If he really angered this guy, it wouldn't be a joke.
Luo Xiu looked at the chubby child who had been stopped.
Even without scrutinizing him, he could see the fear in the trembling legs and eyes of the boy named Philip.
This little guy knew very well that he was stronger than Schup, and Schup was already far stronger than him, but even so, he still gritted his teeth and charged forward.
"It makes it sound like I'm the bad guy..."
Luo Xiu smiled slightly and released Xiu Pu:
"Please don't even think about running away, Mr. Shoep, or our feud will be over."
“You’re using my name to cause trouble every day, you have to give me an explanation.”
Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, Xiu Pu looked guilty and chuckled awkwardly:
"Hehe, actually, strictly speaking, that's not just the name you use, it's also my teacher's name."
“It’s perfectly acceptable for students to use their teacher’s name.”
That's what he said, but deep down he knew that he was just trying to shift the blame to Luo Xiu, and he wasn't going to get away with it so easily.
So he added:
"And I've always been very careful."
"careful?"
Luo Xiu pointed to the male student lying on the ground:
"When you say 'be careful,' do you mean this guy is going to pull out a pyrotechnic device to reveal your location, or do you mean even I can sneak up here?"
"If that bottle of pyrotechnic agent had landed, you would have been in a much worse situation than you are now."
Upon hearing Luo Xiu mention the male students from the academy, Xiu Pu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he said:
"I don't know either. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Who's behind this guy? I just made a few bucks, and he's already attracting attention?"
He wasn't lying; he had always been very careful.
Whenever someone comes to him for a divination, he can predict in advance whether that person will be followed by others.
Given the difference in their ranks, these predictions are almost always accurate.
This is the foundation of his business: using his predictive skills to help students who want to win ranked matches predict their opponents.
But he didn't expect Luo Xiu to come today.
He tried to predict his journey to Kanriel before he even arrived, but the result of the prediction was completely different from what he experienced when he first arrived.
It was after he was beaten up by Luo Xiu that he knew Luo Xiu must have items that could counter prophecy-type skills.
"Damn it, I still overlooked something despite all my calculations."
