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

Lu Lingxi slowed her pace and quietly followed behind the four people. The four people would sometimes stop at the bustling market and sometimes linger in the exquisite handicraft shops, while Lu Lingxi kept a distance that was neither too close nor too far, leisurely following behind.

Bei Chen Haoyu, Shangguan Yunqing, and Bai Mingxuan exchanged puzzled glances, all wondering why Lu Lingxiyao would show such strong interest in those four people.

The four people wandered around and eventually stopped in a secluded corner where few people went.

Lu Lingxi felt a tightness in her chest and quickly dodged into a narrow corner. Seeing this, Lu Xinglan and the other three quickly followed, and the four of them disappeared into the shadows almost simultaneously.

However, unexpectedly, the four people seemed to have sensed something and turned around at the same time, walking slowly towards the direction where they were hiding.

"What are you trying to achieve by following us all this time?"

The sweet-looking girl with a sharp voice frowned, while the three boys behind her looked on warily.

Seeing that she could no longer hide, Lu Lingxi shrugged helplessly and slowly walked out of her hiding place with a relaxed smile on her face.

"It's just that we happened to be going the same way."

"Traveling together? You think we'd believe such a lame excuse? Or do you think we're idiots?"

The hot-tempered boy almost roared, his dark eyes seeming to spit fire as he stared intently at Lu Lingxi, his face contorted with rage.

“Hey, brother, we never said you were idiots. That’s just your own imagination,” Lu Xinglan interjected at the right moment, a playful smile playing on his lips, his tone tinged with mockery.

"You! It's you again, you brat!" Upon hearing this, the hot-tempered boy became even angrier and almost lost his mind. He swayed and was about to rush forward, but was stopped in time by the sweet girl.

"Don't forget your teacher's instructions, don't act rashly!" The girl's voice was calm and firm, her eyes filled with unquestionable authority.

"But they..."

The hot-tempered boy hesitated, but a sharp look from the girl made him swallow back the words he was about to say. He could only stand there resentfully, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

Lu Lingxi witnessed this scene and felt a pang of regret. She had thought a wonderful duel was about to unfold, but unexpectedly, it was easily resolved by this calm girl. She couldn't help but feel more curious and admiring of this girl. It was truly rare for her to remain calm and restrained at such a critical moment.

"You are contestants from Lingyue Kingdom, right?" The girl's gaze was filled with curiosity and inquiry as she looked directly at Lu Lingxi, who remained silent in front of her.

Lu Lingxi's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if she was touched by the sudden question, but she did not respond immediately, but remained silent with an almost indifferent attitude.

Seeing this, the girl smiled slightly, seemingly unbothered by the other party's silence, and continued, "We are contestants from Yaoguang Kingdom, nice to meet you!"

After speaking, her bright eyes sparkled with friendliness and expectation as she awaited a response.

However, her response was not words, but a sudden action from Lu Lingxi Yao. She gently raised her left hand, and a blazing flame instantly gathered in her palm. The flame seemed to have a life of its own, leaping and dancing, and in an instant it transformed into a sharp fire arrow. With formidable power, it flew out rapidly to the astonished gazes of the crowd, pointing directly at the girl.

Bei Chen Haoyu, Shangguan Yunqing, and Bai Mingxuan were all dumbfounded and deeply shocked by what they saw.

The speed of the fire arrow caught the girl off guard, and she could only watch helplessly as the dangerous flaming arrow approached her, a suffocating tension filling the air.

"asshole!"

A furious shout suddenly rang out, followed by the deafening crash of a heavy object colliding with another object—"Bang!" Just as the fire arrow was about to strike the girl, a longsword accurately blocked its attack, neutralizing its power.

The hot-tempered boy glared at her, his eyes burning with fury as if he wanted to devour Lu Lingxi.

At the same time, the girl's face instantly darkened, exuding a chilling aura. Upon seeing this, the three boys behind her immediately drew their weapons, radiating a fighting spirit, ready to face the impending conflict.

Although Bei Chen Haoyu, Shangguan Yunqing, and Bai Mingxuan were filled with doubt and confusion, they quickly adjusted their mindset and prepared for battle in the face of Lu Lingxi Yao's sudden provocation. Since Lu Lingxi Yao intended to provoke a conflict, they decided to fight her, no matter what the reasons behind the conflict might be.

In Lu Lingxi Yao's palm, the fire elemental energy seemed to come alive, leaping joyfully and flashing with a brilliant and fiery red light. Her voice was calm yet clearly audible, and a faint smile hung on her lips, making her appear both mysterious and composed.

"Please don't be offended, this is Ling Yue's unique way of greeting people!"

Upon hearing this, Bei Chenhaoyu and the other two couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on their faces, their eyes filled with incomprehension and doubt, as if they were searching their memories for when Lingyue Kingdom had ever had such a unique way of "greeting".

The girl with the radiance instantly frowned, her brows furrowed, clearly dissatisfied and confused by this illogical "etiquette".

"So, we're going to respond in the same way?"

"exactly!"

Lu Lingxi nodded gently, the smile on her lips seemingly concealing some profound meaning, making it difficult to fathom.

The girl remained silent for a moment, quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind. The situation before her was clearly unavoidable. The other party's actions were obviously well-prepared, intended to test or provoke them, forcing them to show their strength. Retreat? That would only make the opponent press on more. So, her eyes narrowed, and she made a decision.

“Then let’s say hello properly!” Her voice was firm and powerful, revealing an unquestionable determination.

"Ranran, it should have been like this a long time ago!" said the hot-tempered boy beside her, his excitement barely concealed, unaware of the undercurrents swirling around him and the danger that was quietly approaching.

The girl suddenly frowned, a hint of alarm flashing in her eyes, and shouted, "Watch out!"

Immediately afterwards, a scorching heat wave, as hot as magma, suddenly struck. Almost simultaneously, the four of them retreated rapidly, dodging the sudden fireball attack with astonishing speed. The fireball crashed to the ground, instantly turning into scorched earth. Dust and heat mingled, creating a breathtaking scene.

Faced with this sudden attack, all four of them looked serious. The girl quickly analyzed the situation and made a decision in just a few seconds: "She is a spiritual cultivator, and her strength should not be underestimated. I will deal with her, and you will deal with the other four."

"Okay!" The three boys responded in unison without hesitation.

Suddenly, a dazzling purple light burst forth from the girl's palm, and this purple spiritual energy danced lightly in her hand.

Lu Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, "Heh~ Lightning spiritual power!"

Lu Lingxi Yao glanced at the four people facing off before her and slowly spoke, "Four against four, let's be fair, so the Yao Guang can't accuse us of ganging up on them."

After saying that, Lu Xinglan, who was standing to the side, understood and smiled slightly. She stepped aside and said, "Since that's the case, I won't get involved. I'll leave it to you and just observe."

Immediately afterward, Bei Chen Haoyu and Shangguan Yunqing moved like arrows released from a bow, instantly clashing with the three youths. Each suppressed their cultivation to the level of Seven-Star Martial King and Nine-Star Spirit King, yet they still displayed astonishing power. The domineering force of martial arts intertwined with the agility of spiritual energy, forming an impenetrable barrier that forcefully withstood the fierce attacks of the three youths.

"Lightning strikes!"

The moment the girl murmured, a bolt of purple lightning ripped through the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar. Like an enraged purple dragon, it swooped down from the clouds with unparalleled power, as if tearing the air apart.

Bai Mingxuan stood beside Lu Lingxi Yao with a firm gaze. His hands quickly gathered radiant spiritual energy, and he uttered a low shout: "Shield of Light!" Instantly, a shield of light enveloped him and Lu Lingxi Yao, like the first rays of dawn, warm and powerful.

The clash between lightning and the light shield was a direct collision between the power of nature and pure light. The surface of the light shield was instantly rippled with intense waves, and Bai Mingxuan's face was furrowed with worry due to the confrontation of these forces.

In that split second, Lu Lingxi and Yao Yao reacted swiftly, grabbing Bai Mingxuan. The two figures flashed by like ghosts, and almost at the same moment, the seemingly indestructible shield of light, under the bombardment of purple lightning, finally succumbed and shattered, turning into specks of light that dissipated into nothingness, leaving only a faint aftertaste of spiritual light.

"A lightning-type spiritual cultivator at the Spirit Emperor realm—this strength is indeed not to be underestimated," Lu Lingxi thought to herself, her eyes showing both wariness and a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

When the girl saw Bai Mingxuan use his light spiritual power, her brows furrowed even more. There were actually three spiritual cultivators among them? Then, her gaze quickly swept over Lu Xinglan, who was standing silently to the side, and she thought to herself: There is still one who has not made a move yet. This is going to be difficult.

On the rooftop, four teenagers stood side by side. One of them crossed his arms and stared intently at the fierce battle below, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"They're really going at it!"

Another boy, beaming with excitement, rubbed his hands together as if he had truly been ignited by the intense battle.

"I really want to get involved; it's making my hands itch to join in."

Just then, a gentle yet undeniable voice rang out, silencing the other three: "Let's just watch quietly. Some shows are just for us to watch."

Upon hearing this, the three teenagers nodded in agreement, refocusing their attention on the thrilling battle with focused and serious expressions.

However, at that moment, a pair of deep black eyes suddenly rose up, facing them from afar on the roof. Immediately afterwards, an extremely hot red flame, like a roaring fire dragon, rushed straight towards the roof.

Along with the flames came a mocking and provocative voice, "Hey up there, you've been watching for so long, aren't you going to come down and stretch your legs, and join our revelry?"

Flames roared up the roof, catching the four boys on it off guard. They dodged to the side in a slightly disheveled manner, their movements filled with panic. In the end, they had no choice but to jump off the roof and land steadily.

Lu Lingxi withdrew her attack, slowly turned around, and smiled slightly at the four boys with a hint of amusement and anticipation in her eyes. "Gentlemen, were you satisfied with the show? Were you also infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere and wanted to participate yourself?"

Upon hearing this, the four boys unconsciously tensed up, a strange and inexplicable sense of unease rising in their hearts.

The girl from Yaoguang Kingdom's eyes flashed with surprise, and her voice trembled slightly with excitement, "They are... contestants from Kaiyang!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao pondered to herself. Of the three kingdoms, Lingyue, Yaoguang, and Kaiyang, apart from Wuwang and Qinglan who had not yet appeared, the contestants from the other three kingdoms had unexpectedly met here. Although the number of people was not complete, she could tell at a glance that these people were undoubtedly the core contestants of their respective countries.

"You can continue..."

Among the four boys, the one who looked frail and as if a gust of wind could blow him away glanced around with a seemingly casual yet profound gaze, uttered a single sentence, and turned to leave.

However, Lu Lingxi Yao would not let this opportunity slip by easily. A playful smile appeared on her lips, and then, a fireball quickly condensed in her palm. The speed of this condensation was a symbol of the perfect fusion of spiritual power and elements.

Even the girl from Yaoguang beside him was speechless at this scene, her mouth agape, her shock evident.

"Since we're already here, let's join in the fun!"

Lu Lingxi's words carried a hint of playfulness and provocation. Before she finished speaking, the fireball in her palm shot out like an arrow, whistling towards the frail-looking boy.

Just when everyone thought the fireball was about to hit the boy, a crisp "clang" rang out, the metallic echo of the fireball colliding with some hard object.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that behind the boy, a long sword had been quietly drawn, its blade gleaming faintly, easily blocking the raging fireball.

"People of Lingyue, how dare you lay a hand on Young Master Junyi?"

The muscles in the sword-wielding youth's arms were taut, like a bowstring ready to be released, and his already well-defined face looked even more stern with anger.

Seeing this, the others also drew their weapons without hesitation, their cold glints flashing, instantly making the atmosphere extremely tense.

Lu Lingxi smiled knowingly. Her target was clearly the seemingly frail young man. The tense reactions of those around her were the best proof that this young man named Junyi was an indispensable key figure among the Kaiyang contestants.

Seeing this, Bai Mingxuan quickly formed hand seals, gathering dazzling spiritual energy in his palms, as if it could transform into a torrent of attack at any moment. He was fully focused, preparing to meet the impending conflict.

The girl from Yao Guang unconsciously took a step back, a hint of surprise and unease flashing in her eyes. Three martial cultivators confronted two spiritual cultivators, and the power imbalance was obvious. She secretly pondered that in this duel, the two from Ling Yue seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Ye Junyi stood quietly behind his teammates, his handsome face devoid of any emotion, as if Lu Lingxiyao's attack was utterly insignificant in his eyes.

However, this caused even greater turmoil in Lu Lingxi's heart. Faced with her provocation, Ye Junyi was able to remain so calm. His composure and shrewdness made her even more interested in this young man. Someone who could deal with provocation so calmly was definitely not an ordinary person. The depth of this young man's character far exceeded her expectations.
