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

Lu Lingxi's dark eyes flashed suddenly, concealing deep doubt. No matter how she provoked or challenged him, this man remained as still as a meditating monk, refusing to reveal even a fraction of his abilities. Why was this? Was he merely a beautiful facade masking inner weakness? Or was he the most hidden and sharpest trump card of the Kaiyang Kingdom, deliberately concealing his strength, waiting for the crucial moment to strike a fatal blow? Lu Lingxi pondered inwardly, a playful smile curving her lips. Hmph, trying to hold back? Not so easy!

Just as she was preparing to strike again, using an even fiercer offensive to force him to reveal his true strength, a sudden low growl interrupted this silent contest.

Su Yuwei, that woman who always carried a hint of arrogance and hostility, strode into this battlefield that was about to boil over.

Lu Lingxi's gaze quickly swept over Su Yuwei, a hint of annoyance and impatience flashing in her eyes. This woman always chose to appear at the most inopportune times to interfere in her affairs, which was simply meddling to the extreme.

Su Yuwei's face was gloomy, and her anger was about to burst out. She strode forward and glanced at the crowd in front of her. When she saw the scene in front of her—Lu Lingxi Yao confronting several foreign players, with the surrounding area in a mess—her anger burned even more fiercely.

"Lu Lingxi Yao, how dare you launch a surprise attack on players from other countries on the eve of the competition? You..."

Su Yuwei's voice trembled with anger. She had long harbored jealousy towards Lu Lingxiyao, especially when she saw Bei Chen Haoyu always around Lu Lingxiyao, her hatred became even more uncontrollable.

Now that she has finally found a legitimate opportunity to teach Lu Lingxi a lesson, how could she let it go so easily?

However, before Su Yuwei could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a sudden chilling aura. Lu Lingxiyao suddenly turned around, her eyes sweeping over Su Yuwei with icy gaze and an unquestionable question.

"Su Yuwei, are you a pig, or is your arm naturally biased towards the outside?"

Su Yuwei's face flushed red at this moment, shame and anger intertwined in her heart. She almost gritted her teeth as she retorted, "Lu Lingxi Yao, you are so wantonly provoking conflict, which is clearly disrupting the harmony and rules of the Five Nations Competition. I can report your behavior to the organizing committee of the competition!"

Lu Lingxi Yao's lips curled into a cold smile, a smile that contained both mockery of Su Yuwei's foolish actions and a faint regret that her plan had not gone as desired.

Today's attempt to test the waters has come to an early end because of this clueless fool, and there may never be another opportunity like this in the future.

She didn't say another word, but walked past Su Yuwei with an arrogant air and headed towards the alley entrance.

Su Yuwei shouted angrily from behind, "Lu Lingxi Yao, you'll remember everything that happened today!"

However, only the echoes reverberating in the empty alley responded to her. Lu Lingxi didn't even turn her head. Her silhouette stretched long in the afterglow of the setting sun, making her appear exceptionally aloof.

At this moment, Bai Mingxuan, also with a cold expression, followed closely behind, seemingly offering silent support to Lu Lingxi.

Shangguan Yunqing merely glanced at Su Yuwei, who stood there with a face full of resentment, his eyes revealing undisguised disgust. He then quickened his pace and caught up with Lu Lingxi.

Lu Xinglan strolled out from the side with a leisurely yet aloof demeanor. His gaze, like a cold winter wind, swept lightly across Su Yuwei's face, leaving behind a merciless assessment.

"What a foolish woman!" he said, then quickened his pace to catch up with the graceful figure ahead.

At the same time, Bei Chen Haoyu's face instantly turned ashen, and he took a sudden step forward, intending to follow.

Seeing that Bei Chen Haoyu was about to leave, Su Yuwei panicked. In her haste, she reached out a hand and tightly grabbed the hem of Bei Chen Haoyu's clothes, looking pitiful.

"Brother Haoyu, did I do something wrong? Lu Lingxi treated me like that, why won't you stand up for me?"

Bei Chen Haoyu's body stiffened involuntarily for a moment, then he struggled with his arm and freed the hem of his clothes from Su Yuwei's tightly clenched fingers.

Su Yuwei's hand suddenly went empty. Instinctively, she wanted to reach out and grab it again, but Bei Chen Haoyu's figure flashed like a ghost, avoiding her touch, and coldly uttered a sentence.

"Su Yuwei, please have some self-respect."

These words struck Su Yuwei's heart like a heavy hammer, causing her body to freeze in place.

She stared blankly at Bei Chen Haoyu's departing figure, her heart filled with disbelief. Everyone else followed Lu Lingxi Yao's figure into the distance, leaving Su Yuwei alone, standing in the same spot, her eyes empty, as if abandoned by the whole world.

"Thank you so much, young lady!"

Jun Yi strolled closer slowly, his voice as light as a breeze. After uttering a half-hearted thank you, he turned and left indifferently. The young men from Kaiyang Kingdom followed closely behind, keeping up with Jun Yi's departing figure.

Ranran from Yunyao Kingdom glanced lightly at Su Yuwei's face, a disdainful smile playing on her lips. "She's incredibly stupid."

Then he said to the three boys, "Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuwei was startled, her mind filled with confusion. She shouted after Ranran's receding figure, "Hey, what do you mean? Explain yourself!"

However, all that answered her were their receding figures and the fading echoes in the air.

Everyone had left, leaving Su Yuwei standing alone in the same spot. She felt an unprecedented loneliness and helplessness, as if she had become a forgotten clown on a stage.

In Lingyue Kingdom, she was the daughter of the richest man, revered by all, and the niece cherished by the Empress. But now, these identities seem to have lost their weight, and she has become insignificant in everyone's eyes, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Su Yuwei's heart was like a windowpane pierced by the cold wind, chilling her to the bone. For the first time, she realized how insignificant and unimportant she was without her father's protection. This unprecedented sense of loss was like a boulder pressing on her chest, almost suffocating her. And the root of all this was Lu Lingxi Yao. Her hatred for her burned like wildfire, uncontrollably.

Su Yuwei's sudden intrusion disrupted Lu Lingxi's plans. Since that small-scale preliminary battle, the players from the various countries had not clashed again and had become more cautious and conservative. Lu Lingxi knew that if she missed that opportunity, it would be even more difficult to create another chance to fight.

Since there was no possibility of a fight, Lu Lingxi Yao didn't plan to wander around outside. Instead, she stayed in her room to cultivate quietly.

Soon, the Five Nations Tournament officially began. In the dueling arena of the Hopeless Kingdom, some unfamiliar new faces appeared, including the youths who had previously fought against Lu Lingxi and Yao. On the other side of the dueling arena, rows of fiery winged horses stood proudly, their wings shimmering and their hooves treading on fire, exuding a majestic aura.

This year's rules have broken with convention, simplifying the competition to a single round. The competition location is far from the bustling capital, in a region rarely visited by anyone, and its exact location is unknown.

“Lonely City,” an elderly man with kind eyes walked toward Zisang Lonely City.

Zi Sang Gu Cheng recognized the person at a glance, a genuine smile blooming on his face as he quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Bei Feng! It's been a long time!"

Gu Beifeng smiled gently, his calm demeanor exuding an indescribable affability. "It seems Ling Yue is preparing to show her true colors this time!"

Zisang Gucheng's expression changed slightly, then he burst into laughter, his laughter tinged with mockery. "Aren't you Kaiyang just the same? That mysterious trump card is truly well hidden!"

Beifeng's smile remained unchanged, but a barely perceptible glint flashed in his eyes, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, gone in an instant.

"But we don't know what Wuwang and Qinglan's trump cards and strength are."

Their gazes turned simultaneously towards the direction where Wuwang and Qinglan were. Zisang Gucheng chuckled softly, his tone filled with respect and expectation.

"Although Qinglan has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, her strength is undeniable and should not be underestimated. As the organizer of this grand event, Wuwang's trump cards are likely even more formidable and may even exceed our expectations."

Upon hearing this, Bei Feng's smile froze instantly, and it took him a few seconds to gradually return to normal, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"So, perhaps our biggest competitor is the Hopeless Country?"

Zisang Gucheng laughed again, his laughter filled with magnanimity and confidence. "The world is unpredictable, and the unknown is not something we can easily predict. Let us each use our strengths and abilities to see who can stand out in this competition!"

With the arrival of the last contestant, everyone had gathered. A noble general, dressed in magnificent armor and with a determined look in his eyes, slowly spoke.

"Distinguished guests, please mount your fiery steeds, and we will set off for our destination."

With the help of their attendants, contestants from various countries mounted these magnificent steeds one by one, feeling the intense power surging from the Pegasus, their hearts filled with both trepidation and anticipation.

With a loud thud of hooves and the booming of wings beating through the air, the entire procession slowly rose into the air and headed toward the unknown.

An hour later, everyone was taken to a mysterious area shrouded in thick fog. From the air, the fog looked like an endless ocean, swallowing all light and sight, making it impossible to see the secrets within.

"Where is this?" someone couldn't help but ask curiously.

The core members of the team all frowned in unison, looking seriously at the mysterious area shrouded in mist below, eager to know what this place was.

A strange premonition surged in Lu Lingxi's heart. This misty place might be their true testing ground, a place full of unknowns and dangers, but also full of infinite possibilities.

Just as everyone was wondering, the noble general of the Hopeless Kingdom who was leading the way and the young man named Hanmo did not hesitate to ride their fiery steeds and plunge into the mist. Their figures disappeared quickly, leaving only a brilliant trail of fire. The contestants from the Hopeless Kingdom followed closely behind and plunged into the mist without hesitation.

Despite their doubts and concerns, the contestants from the other four countries could not back down at this moment. They followed closely behind their leader and plunged into this mysterious, misty realm together.

After passing through the mist, the fiery pegasus landed steadily on a relatively open area. The surroundings were still tightly shrouded in mist, with visibility limited to only about a mile. The crisscrossing paths stretched into the unknown distance, and no one knew where they would ultimately lead.

Everyone dismounted from the fiery winged horses. Once everyone was in place, the noble general from the Hopeless Kingdom who had been with Han Mo spoke.

"In order to uphold the fairness and impartiality of this competition, we are honored to invite three distinguished guests: the president of the Mercenary Guild, Lord Feng Shengxie; the master of the Spiritual Cultivation Hall, Lord Moxin; and the master of the Martial Cultivation Hall, Lord Bai Ci. These three gentlemen will serve as witnesses and arbitrators for this competition."

As the noble general finished speaking, Feng Shengxie, Mo Xin, and Bai Ci nodded to the crowd.

However, when Feng Shengxie's gaze swept over everyone, it lingered on Lu Lingxi Yao for a moment, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Although he had doubts, he ultimately did not recognize Lu Lingxi Yao, after all, back in Jinyuan City, Lu Lingxi Yao's identity was Leng Aotian.

Lu Lingxi Yao took in the doubt in Feng Shengxie's eyes. Now was not the time to tell him that she was Leng Aotian, so she remained standing there calmly, her eyes fixed on the middle-aged woman next to Feng Shengxie—Mo Xin.

Moxin has delicate features and slightly upturned eyes. Time has not left many marks on her. Although her skin is no longer as delicate as a young girl's, it exudes a soft glow.

She stood tall and exuded an air of dignified authority. Her long, black hair was simply tied back, with a few stray strands falling gently beside her ears, adding to her gentle and graceful demeanor.

When she talks to people, her voice is sexy and alluring. Although she doesn't say much, every word she utters is convincing.

The other man, Bai Ci, was like an old pine tree that had weathered countless storms. His figure was not particularly upright, but rather carried a sense of casual ease. As his robes fluttered, one could vaguely see intricate and mysterious embroidered patterns on them.

What is most striking about him are his eyes, which seem to see through everything in the world. The occasional flash of cold light in the depths of his pupils makes people feel a chill involuntarily, as if they are facing a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

A faint smile graced his face, neither warm nor cold, making it difficult to decipher.

When he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, everyone around him felt a chill involuntarily, because no one knew what kind of schemes and conspiracies were hidden behind that smile.

His words were always so impeccable, neither too intimate nor too distant, maintaining a delicate balance just right.
