Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 155 Good Fortune Descends Upon the Lu Family

"What? They're actually like that? I used to consider them friends, and they actually listened to others and started spreading rumors about me?"

After listening to Lu Yunshi's words, Zhang Quan felt that what Lu Yunshi said made more sense, and the anger that had disappeared in his heart reappeared, but this time the target was not Lu Yunshi.

After a few seconds of anger, Zhang Quan looked at Lu Yunshi apologetically. "Brother Yun, I was wrong. I wronged you without even knowing the facts. I will make them pay for this."

Lu Yunshi shook his head slightly. "No need. The innocent will clear themselves. I also believe that after this incident, my bond with Brother Zhang will be even stronger. In fact, I have to thank them for it."

Zhang Quan nodded emphatically upon hearing this. "From now on, no matter what they say about you in front of me, I will not believe them. You, Lu Yunshi, are my own brother, and that is a fact that no one can change."

Lu Yunshi showed a pleased expression, then suddenly said, "Speaking of which, Brother Zhang, we seem to have gone off-topic for too long. This has amounted to at least a chapter of filler in the book. If we don't address this soon, it will make people unhappy, but..."

"But what?" Zhang Quan asked immediately when he saw Lu Yun's hesitant expression. "Brother Yun, just say the word. There's nothing I can't do."

"Sigh!" Lu Yun sighed deeply. "It is right to fight, but in the end, I am no match for Brother Zhang, and I can't bring myself to do it. This battle... let me admit defeat. Being able to come this far and meet Brother Zhang is enough to prove to him that I am not an incompetent person."

After saying that, Lu Yunshi showed a regretful expression and looked up at the referee whose face had darkened.

"Teacher, I..."

"shut up!"

Before Lu Yunshi could finish speaking, Zhang Quan hurriedly interrupted him. Only when Lu Yunshi looked at him strangely did Zhang Quan have time to show an angry expression to Lu Yunshi.

What are you doing? Do you want to admit defeat?

"But... I really can't bring myself to fight you, and I'm no match for you at all," Lu Yunshi said helplessly.

"What nonsense are you spouting? How could my brother, Zhang Quan's brother, be inferior?" Zhang Quan roared in anger. "You've already come this far, are you just going to stop here? Don't others want to see you reach even greater heights?"

“But…” Lu Yunshi hesitated.

"No buts." Zhang Quan looked at the other person firmly, then suddenly laughed, a hint of relief in his eyes. "Besides, isn't there someone else waiting for you?"

"Huh? Who?" This time it was Lu Yun's turn to be stunned.

"Stop pretending, I won't be angry. You went through all this trouble just to prove yourself to me, didn't you? Lu Yunxi... the woman you've been pursuing all this time, wasn't that what you came for too?"

"what?"

"Haha, don't worry. I did like her, but compared to my own brothers, what is a woman? Besides, there's no way we could ever be together. I've already given up. Yun-di, if you like her, just go for it. Not only do you have to pursue her, but you have to win her over. And you not only have to prove yourself to me, but also to many other people. You have to keep climbing until you reach your limit."

After saying that, Zhang Quan threw his head back and laughed loudly. After the laughter subsided, he immediately looked at the referee.

"Teacher, I surrender. Please announce the results."

"Brother Zhang! Why...?" Lu Yunshi looked at the other person with incomprehension.

“There are no so many whys. I just did what I felt was worthwhile for the people who deserved it.” Zhang Quan shook his head slightly. “Although it’s a pity, it’s not without its perfection. I am Zhang Quan. Even if I don’t participate in the next assessment, I am still Zhang Quan. And you, Brother Yun, need the next battle more than I do.”

After saying that, Zhang Quan waved his sleeves, turned around, and left.

"Remember, no matter what kind of enemy you encounter next, charge forward. I will always be watching you."

"Brother Zhang...you're such a good person." Lu Yunshi murmured, pursing his lips, feeling that he would feel guilty the next time he met him.

The referee floated down with a dark face and reluctantly announced the result of the battle. He had heard from another colleague that Lu Yunshi needed to prepare medicine for his battles, otherwise his blood pressure would not be able to be controlled. But another colleague also said that Lu Yunshi's battles were very pleasing to the eye and there was no need to prepare medicine.

After listening to the latter's words, I truly regretted my actions.

Hopefully, those students won't be yelling for their money back while cursing.

The referee's worries were clearly unnecessary. Although there were no exciting battle scenes, for many people, the strange and awkward brotherhood between Lu Yunshi and Zhang Quan had a feeling that was hard to judge but unexpectedly made them want to keep watching.

There aren't many people who are really angry about this.

After finishing his own battle, Lu Yunshi chatted with Li Hongying and the others for a few minutes before heading to the arena where Lu Yunxi was fighting. Her opponent was still fighting, and was also a woman, but she was wearing a veil so her face was obscured.

However, Lu Yunshi was somewhat surprised when he saw her. "It's her. I didn't expect that she would get into a fight with the young lady and actually have such skills... Hmm, let me think... Hehe, this is going to be a good show, and I can also gather material while I'm at it."

The battle between the two women was fierce, and with the end of the battle, the fifth assessment came to a perfect conclusion.

Only seven people remain to compete for the first place.

Of the remaining candidates in this year's assessment, there were three human students, more than usual.

Normally, there would only be one left at most. Although a husky with a strange track record was mixed in, it did not change the fact that the human population had increased.

This also led to the next few battles of this year attracting tens of thousands of viewers, with all the seats in the audience sold out overnight, leaving the rest to stand on the big screen to watch. The academy made a huge profit with tears in their eyes.

To Lu Yunshi's surprise, the last bye spot, which was given to someone from his Lu family, finally came to him.

That's right, the person who got the last bye spot is... Lu Yunxi!

"Heh, what a surprise." Standing next to Lu Yunshi, Lu Yunxi curled her lips slightly, seemingly somewhat displeased.

Lu Yunshi, on the other hand, looked miserable. Seriously... the one in seven chance didn't even fall on me. I thought I could take advantage of the bye to advance one more round and get into the top five for free.

Can't I have a storyline where I get by without any chance of winning, then I'm constantly doubted, and finally I make a grand entrance and shock everyone?

It's a conspiracy, absolutely a conspiracy. Someone is definitely pulling strings behind the scenes to get me fired as soon as possible.

Even if Lu Yunshi gets a bye all the way to the end, he will most likely admit defeat at lightning speed, but that doesn't stop him from making sarcastic remarks.

In some unknown place, the teacher who was arranging the match schedule looked at Lu Yunshi's name on the list in his hand with a worried expression.

"Tsk... This early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator has been given so many powerful enemies, how come he's still around?"

"Hey, did they win on their own merit? There's no need for that," another teacher said, puzzled.

"What? Two of his battles involved the other team surrendering, and he won every other battle against stronger opponents. People will suspect that we gave him preferential treatment."

"That's true, I've received quite a few complaints lately that I've been asked to investigate."
