Douluo Continent: Qian Renxue's Simulated Life After Becoming a Demigod
Chapter 18: Renxue Meets Lu Ming! The Foundation of Jixia Academy!
"Lu Ming, look." Xue Di pointed to the river beside her, her tone as light as a little girl's, "The fish in the river are so cute."
Lu Ming followed her finger and saw several fish playing in the clear water. He smiled.
"She is quite cute, but she's still not quite as cute as you."
Xue Di blushed even more, her head lowered, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
The two held hands, enjoying this rare moment of ambiguous intimacy, and walked towards Jixia Academy.
However, when they arrived at the iconic Blue Silver Grass gate of Jixia Academy, a gentle yet slightly anxious voice broke the silence.
"Please inform them that Xue Qinghe requests an audience with the dean of your esteemed institution."
Lu Ming looked up and saw a young man dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, with a refined and scholarly air, standing at the school gate, his path blocked by Gongsun Li.
It was none other than Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Or rather, Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe.
"I already told you, the dean isn't here."
Gongsun Li had just finished reprimanding Ma Hongjun, and her tone was somewhat impatient at this moment, "You are useless as the crown prince, rules are rules."
Qian Renxue looked at the girl in front of her, her pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in her heart.
is her!
In that simulation called "Life Simulator," it was this woman named Gongsun Li who, one day in the future, would kill herself!
Those horrific scenes flashed through her mind, and Qian Renxue unconsciously clenched her hands inside her sleeves, cold sweat seeping from her palms.
She suppressed her shock and confusion.
Why?
Why would she want to kill me in the future?
But now is not the time to dwell on this.
Simulator results indicate that only by finding the dean of Jixia Academy and that mysterious being can her inevitable death be changed.
Just as Qian Renxue was lost in thought, two figures emerged from the woods behind her.
"Ah Li, what happened?"
Lu Ming's voice rang out calmly.
Gongsun Li and Li Xin, who were yawning while carrying a giant sword, tensed up instantly upon hearing the sound.
Upon seeing Lu Ming, the two immediately showed respect and were about to call out, "Director..."
Lu Ming gently shook his head, stopping them with his eyes.
The two reacted quickly, immediately shutting their mouths and respectfully stepping aside to bow slightly.
Lu Ming, holding Xue Di's hand, walked calmly towards the gate.
Qian Renxue turned around and saw the couple who looked like a match made in heaven.
The man was handsome and dashing, with an extraordinary air about him.
The woman was stunningly beautiful. Although she wore a veil, her noble aura made people afraid to look directly at her.
Seeing Lu Ming walk straight towards the gate, Qian Renxue kindly reminded him:
"Brother, please wait. The Jixia Academy has strict rules. The guard just said that they do not see outsiders. Even I, the current crown prince, have been turned away. If you try to force your way in, you will probably be kicked out."
She had just witnessed how Shrek Academy students were beaten out, and she didn't want to see this extraordinary young man suffer an undeserved misfortune as well.
However, Lu Ming simply smiled at her and didn't stop walking at all.
The next moment, something shocking happened to Qian Renxue.
The arrogant gatekeeper Li Xin, who had been so haughty just moments before and hadn't even given her a second glance, suddenly strode forward.
He pushed open the tightly closed door and made a perfectly standard "please" gesture.
"..."
Qian Renxue stood there, stunned, her mind still reeling.
The difference in treatment is too great!
Lu Ming led Xue Di through the gate, stopped, and turned to look at Qian Renxue, who was still in a daze.
"Your Highness, aren't you coming in?"
Qian Renxue snapped out of her daze and quickly followed.
Once inside the academy, Lu Ming released Xue Di's hand and whispered in her ear:
"Xue'er, you go back and rest first. I'll show this Crown Prince around on his own."
Although Xue Di was somewhat reluctant, she knew that Lu Ming had important matters to attend to, so she nodded obediently, and with a flash, she transformed into a streak of ice-blue light and disappeared from the spot.
Qian Renxue was startled once again as she watched the Snow Emperor disappear.
Even she, who possesses the Angelic Martial Soul, couldn't quite fathom this speed.
"Brother...why are you able to come and go from this place at will?"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask, her eyes filled with inquiry, "Even those two fierce guards were so respectful to you?"
Lu Ming casually made up a story: "Oh, I have a friend who is a teacher at Jixia Academy, so I guess we have some connections."
"I see." Qian Renxue suddenly realized. "Then we should make good friends with them."
Lu Ming led Qian Renxue along the stone path of the academy.
Along the way, the sights inside Jixia Academy broadened Qian Renxue's horizons.
Instead of the rigid teaching buildings typical of ordinary colleges, this place features various uniquely shaped buildings that shimmer with a soft glow.
The air was filled with dense soul energy fluctuations, rare medicinal herbs that were hard to find elsewhere could be seen everywhere by the roadside, and there were even some metal mechanisms that she had never seen before that were operating automatically.
"This place... is simply a treasure trove," Qian Renxue thought to herself.
The two walked to a huge open-air arena.
At this moment, lightning flashed on the arena, and the roar was deafening.
Two figures were engaged in fierce combat.
One of them was a burly man with a bristling beard and hair, bathed in raging thunder, like a thunder god descending to earth.
He hovered in mid-air, and with a wave of his hands, thick bolts of lightning crashed down.
"Mad Iron! You cannot defeat me!" The man's voice was booming and extremely majestic.
Below the arena, a young man wielding a huge mechanical electric baton and covered in wounds charged forward again and again amidst the thunderous roar.
"Sikong Zhen! Enough with the nonsense!"
With a roar, Kuang Tie slammed his stun baton, crackling with electricity, against the descending lightning. "Even if it's a god, if it blocks my path, I'll smash it to pieces!"
"You mere brat with an electric baton dares to fight me, the Thunder King!"
Sikong Zhen snorted coldly, and an even more terrifying thunderstorm gathered.
Lu Ming stopped and pointed to the stage, saying, "This is the school's ranking competition. It's divided into one-on-one, three-on-three, and seven-on-seven matches. What's happening on stage now is a one-on-one duel."
Qian Renxue stared blankly at the battle on the arena.
That guy named Sikong Zhen possessed earth-shattering thunderous power with every move he made; she had only ever seen such power from a Title Douluo.
As for that guy named Kuang Tie, although he looked disheveled, his physical body was so strong that he withstood the lightning without getting hurt.
That strange stick was filled with explosive power, making Sikong Zhen scream in pain.
"So strong..."
Qian Renxue murmured to herself.
She originally thought that with her innate full soul power level 20 and a divine martial soul, her talent was already among the top in the continent.
But in this Jixia Academy, whether it was Gongsun Li at the entrance or the two battle maniacs in front of her, each of them gave her the feeling of being unfathomable.
