Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

On the platform, the Holy Spirit Academy instructor in charge of calling out the numbers announced through a megaphone, "Contestants numbered 101 to 120, please come to the first ring; contestants numbered 121 to 140, please come to the second ring..."

Lu Lingxi Yao slowly walked onto the arena. Her long hair was styled into an elegant bun and placed behind her head. Among the dark and shiny hair, a water magnolia hairpin adorned with pearls was cleverly inlaid. The tassel hairpin swayed gently in the wind, adding a touch of liveliness to her. Combined with her original aloof and proud temperament, she was like a fairy who had fallen from the moon.

The appearance of Lu Lingxi Yao instantly silenced the originally noisy dueling arena. Everyone's attention was drawn to her, and people secretly wondered which family's daughter she was, possessing such breathtaking beauty and temperament.

Just as everyone was wondering, a gasp suddenly erupted from the crowd: "Isn't that the young lady of the Lu Ling family—Lu Ling Xiyao?"

This exclamation made everyone around realize that the woman who looked like a fairy was actually Lu Lingxi Yao, the young lady of the Lu Ling family who single-handedly destroyed the Lin family.

Just as everyone was still marveling at Lu Lingxi's stunning beauty, someone raised a question: "I remember Lu Lingxi wasn't in the first round, so how did she get into the third round?" This immediately sparked curiosity and discussion among those around them.

Just then, an insider lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "You don't know yet? Lu Lingxi Yao is that young genius with three elements—Leng Aotian. Not only is she exceptionally talented, able to cultivate three different spiritual energy elements at the same time, but she also had to disguise herself and hide her true identity during the competition that day due to some special reason."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on and cast admiring and amazed glances at him.

"I see!"

On the arena, Lu Lingxiyao's eyes were fixed on Lu Linghuaian standing not far away, her eyes flashing with complex and unreadable emotions. It was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.

After this period of cultivation, Lu Lingxi Yao's spiritual power has reached the level of Spirit Master Two Star, Fire and Wood Spirit Master Nine Star, Dark Spirit King Three Star, and her Flying Snow Sword Technique has been cultivated to the third level. Therefore, her martial arts cultivation has jumped from the former Martial Master Two Star to Martial Master Seven Star, and her strength has increased many times over.

Lu Linghuaian, also standing in a corner of the arena, felt the gaze that pierced through the crowd and couldn't help but turn his head slightly, his eyes meeting Lu Lingxiyao's.

An invisible tension formed between the two, and the air was instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder that could explode at any moment. Although Lu Linghuai'an maintained his composure on the surface, he had already begun to be on guard in his heart.

With the referee's whistle, the match officially began. The cheers and anticipation of the audience intertwined, forming an invisible force that propelled everyone on the field.

However, at this moment of great anticipation, Lu Lingxi Yao and Lu Linghuai An, the two figures considered the focus of the event, did not immediately engage in a fierce duel as everyone expected.

Their movements were almost synchronized. Lu Lingxi was light and graceful, and every move she made was just right to avoid her opponent's attack, while at the same time she seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on other contestants.

Lu Linghuaian, with his steady steps and accurate judgment, skillfully guided the battle, preventing anyone from taking advantage of the situation, while also creating space for Lu Lingxiyao's attack.

As if by prior agreement, the two sometimes cooperated, one attacking and the other defending, to neutralize any opponents who tried to disrupt their rhythm; at other times, they fought side by side, using their almost flawless teamwork to push their opponents step by step to the edge of the ring.

Whenever a contestant accidentally slips or is hit in a vital spot, Lu Lingxi and Lu Linghuaian would tacitly slow down their attack, giving the other party a dignified exit.

As round after round of competition went by, the other contestants were eliminated one by one. In the end, only the two of them remained on the stage, facing each other, surrounded by thunderous applause and screams.

Lu Lingling Huai'an glanced at Lu Lingxi Yao with an almost critical look, revealing an undeniable contempt. A barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his words were devoid of any warmth.

"Now it's your turn. Don't think that just because you're my 'cousin,' I'll go easy on you! In this arena, family ties are nothing but fleeting clouds; strength is the only true measure of victory."

Despite Lu Lingling Huai'an's disdain, Lu Lingxi Yao remained calm, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Make your move. I want to see just how much your so-called strength really is."

Lu Linghuaian did not reply. Instead, a dazzling golden light suddenly surged around him. As he slowly brought his hands together in front of his chest, a lifelike golden hunting dog materialized from the light. It was agile and charged towards Lu Lingxi Yao without hesitation, its momentum as fierce as a storm.

Lu Lingxi did not dodge. With a light tap of her fingertip, a bright red color bloomed on her fingertip. With a wave of her hand, the red color instantly transformed into a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, carrying a fiery aura as it rushed straight towards the golden hound.

The fire phoenix and the golden dog collided in the center of the arena, emitting barks and cries. Soon, the fire phoenix's flames surged like a raging torrent, completely engulfing the golden dog, leaving only a few wisps of smoke as proof of the thrilling duel that had just taken place.

Lu Linghuai'an witnessed this scene, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness.

He murmured softly, his fingers twitching slightly, and golden ripples surged in the air. A longsword, condensed from pure golden spiritual energy, slowly took shape in his palm. Without hesitation, he flicked his wrist, and the golden sword transformed into a golden lightning bolt, pointing directly at Lu Lingxi Yao.

Lu Lingxi Yao gracefully and skillfully dodged the fierce attack. At the same time, a ball of blazing flames leaped in her palm. The flames condensed and transformed into a flaming sword, its tip spitting out tongues of fire. It clashed fiercely with the golden sword in mid-air, each collision stirring up ripples of spiritual energy.

Just as the two swords were locked in a stalemate, the golden sword suddenly shone brightly, transforming into a giant golden dragon. Its roar shook the heavens, carrying an aura powerful enough to shake mountains and rivers, and it soared straight into the sky.

Lu Lingxi reacted swiftly, her fire elemental power surging and transforming into a fiery red dragon. The two dragons coiled and intertwined, their roars echoing, like two dazzling stars in the sky, shining brightly.

However, at this crucial moment when the forces were evenly matched, the fiery red dragon suddenly exerted its strength, pressing the golden dragon to the ground with an irresistible force. The golden dragon struggled unwillingly, but could only gradually dissipate into the air, turning into specks of starlight and returning to nothingness.

Before the crowd could recover from the shock, Lu Lingxi Yao appeared behind Lu Linghuai An like a ghost. Her movements were as fast as lightning, and the agility of a martial arts practitioner was on full display.

Lu Linghuai felt a sharp pain coming from his buttocks, and then he was thrown into the air by a powerful force, finally crashing heavily off the stage, raising a cloud of dust.

The people around seemed still immersed in the thrilling battle they had just witnessed, their faces still showing lingering shock and fascination. In this boundless silence, a sudden shout shattered the tranquility.

"Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!"

This exclamation snapped everyone out of their reverie, and then a thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Lu Linghuai'an, who had been knocked off the stage, slowly raised his head. His eyes were filled with resentment. Why was it that, despite being two years older than Lu Lingguihong, he could never cross that gap in strength? Every time he tried his best to catch up, it seemed that he only made himself get further and further away from that figure.

Now, even Lu Lingxi, who was once considered a disgrace to the family, has surpassed him at an astonishing speed. This disparity fills him with mixed feelings, and jealousy and resentment intertwine into an impenetrable net, tightly binding his heart.

What pained him even more was that this failure also meant he lost his eligibility for admission. An unprecedented sense of frustration and anger surged in his chest, almost threatening to engulf him.

However, in this abyss of despair, a glimmer of determination quietly rose—he secretly vowed that no matter how difficult the road ahead, no matter how much sweat and tears he had to shed, he would one day surpass the brother and sister and prove his worth with his actions.

Meanwhile, Lu Lingxi had returned to her seat, her face expressionless, as if the exciting battle just now was merely an interlude in someone else's world, unrelated to her.

For her, the upcoming matches were no longer worth watching; rather than wasting time here, she might as well go back.

Zhi Xia followed closely beside Lu Lingxi Yao, her face filled with admiration for her young mistress.

"Miss, do you know how amazing the duel was? Everyone, men and women alike, was captivated by your charm. Especially the men, their eyes were drawn to you like magnets, staring at you intently, not even daring to blink."

Lu Lingxi didn't reply, but just smiled faintly. After walking out of the dueling arena, she gently turned her head and said to Zhixia, "Zhixia, you go back first. I'm feeling a bit unsettled today and want to take a walk alone to sort out my thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Zhixia, though somewhat reluctant, nodded gently. "Then Miss, please be careful and come back soon!"

After saying that, Zhixia slowly turned around and walked towards the Lu Ling residence, gradually disappearing from Lu Lingxi Yao's sight.
