90: Chapter 90: One basic attack, and he's done for?

???

A basic attack, and he was one-shotted?

Damn?

This is such a scam.

Damn it, I haven't even eaten yet, and you make me watch this?

F*ck you, refund my money!

After a brief silence, a wave of commotion erupted in the audience.

Although this result matched the expectations of most people, in the general consensus, Lu Yuan's strength was only slightly greater than Fang Yu's.

This should have been an evenly matched battle.

It should have been exciting.

That was why they were so eager to come and watch.

But what was the result?

In one exchange, Fang Yu was one-shotted.

"That's too ridiculous, right?"

"And did you notice that the one who attacked was Lu Yuan's newly summoned Magic Pet, the Iron-Eating Beast?"

Generally speaking, the Magic Pet a Summoner summons first is the strongest.

"Wait, man, what happened to the Dragon Knight class countering the Summoner class?"

"Is there a possibility that Lu Yuan is just too monstrous?"

"Agreed!"

"+1."

However, no one present thought that Fang Yu was too weak.

Because the vast majority of people hadn't even seen the Iron-Eating Beast's movement trajectory clearly.

In other words, even if they were the ones on stage, the result would likely be the same.

"We can only say that Lu Yuan is too monstrous."

"Yeah, the national College Entrance Exam top scorer, he truly lives up to his reputation."

"..."

In the very center of the crowd, there was a clear, empty space.

Bai Zhi stood with her arms crossed, looking proud.

"He's too weak. Young Master hasn't even used his full strength yet, and he's already fallen."

"For someone like that to dare challenge Young Master, it's simply asking for humiliation."

"Lu Yuan's strength is indeed too powerful." Celia's eyes were also filled with astonishment.

As Lu Yuan's guardians.

The two of them had spent the most time accompanying Lu Yuan.

But Lu Yuan's rate of strength improvement was too fast.

Every time Lu Yuan made a move, the strength he displayed could shock them.

The referee on the stage was the first to react, hurriedly stepping between the Iron-Eating Beast and Fang Yu.

He didn't want this fierce creature to slap Fang Yu again and turn him into meat paste.

"The match is over! The winner is Lu Yuan!!!"

Following the referee's announcement, the entire arena erupted in thunderous applause.

"Deserved."

"Yeah, a direct one-shot kill. This was a battle without any suspense."

"Lu Yuan is awesome."

"The title of 'Strongest Freshman' should belong to Lu Yuan, right?"

"Who would dare to step up now?"

Lu Yuan rubbed the Iron-Eating Beast's head.

"Good performance. I'll reward you with a bamboo stalk to chew on when we get back."

"Iya~"

The Iron-Eating Beast squinted its eyes in enjoyment, letting Lu Yuan rub its body.

[ Iron-Eating Beast (Cub) ]

[ Rune Set: Dice Roller (3) ]

To be fair, the Iron-Eating Beast's attributes were indeed a bit too monstrous.

Mainly because this guy was too much of a grinder.

Every morning, as soon as Lu Yuan opened his eyes, it was already training.

When Lu Yuan went to sleep at night, it was still training.

Its attributes were stacking up like crazy.

Coupled with the buff from Return to Basics.

The damage of every basic attack was terrifyingly high.

With the help of a Healing-type class, Fang Yu quickly regained consciousness.

Looking at the Abyss Magic Dragon that was still in a coma, the lost memories slowly surfaced in Fang Yu's mind.

"Damn!"

"I was actually one-shotted!"

"Is this guy too monstrous?"

Without saying a word, Fang Yu rushed towards Lu Yuan.

But he was stopped by Celia and Bai Zhi.

Fang Yu cupped his hands in a salute, looking very serious.

"I lost fair and square this time, and I'm willing to accept the consequences."

"Big Brother Lu Yuan, from now on, I, Fang Yu, am your underling."

Lu Yuan: ... Bai Zhi: ... Celia: ...

They thought this guy had more backbone.

They didn't expect him to just acknowledge Lu Yuan as his Big Brother so directly.

Lu Yuan seriously suspected that this guy had put on this whole show just to become his underling.

It wasn't that he was narcissistic, but that Fang Yu had surrendered too quickly.

Aside from acting, Lu Yuan couldn't think of a second possibility.

However, this guy's strength should be decent.

Being his underling could barely qualify.

Just then, a girl squeezed through the crowd and asked with a sweet smile.

"Student Lu Yuan, are you interested in joining our club?"

This girl had a graceful figure and exquisite features.

Her attire was also very particular, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, making it hard for people to look away after one glance.

Lu Yuan scratched his head. "Are you a teacher or... a student?"

It wasn't that Lu Yuan was intentionally trying to embarrass her, but that it was truly hard to tell with this girl.

Her clothing and makeup were overly mature, but looking at her face, she was quite young.

The smile on Xiao Mei's face stiffened a bit, but she quickly recovered, still wearing that sweet smile.

"Hello, Student Lu Yuan, I am Xiao Mei, the president of the Nine Heavens Club."

"I just watched your entire battle. I think your strength is very high, and your future potential is also great. You are very suitable for our Nine Heavens Club."

Xiao Mei winked at Lu Yuan.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding students.

"Damn, Xiao Mei actually invited Lu Yuan voluntarily."

"The Nine Heavens Club created by Xiao Mei is very strong; they usually only recruit third and fourth-year students."

"Not only that, but there are also a lot of beauties in the Nine Heavens Club."

"I also want to join the Nine Heavens Club."

"..."

In university, clubs are naturally indispensable. The club rules at Star Academy were a bit different from those in ordinary universities.

Clubs at Star Academy required students to complete enough school missions every month to retain their points.

To increase the club's rating, one had to complete even more school missions.

Kill more monsters and clear more dungeons.

The higher the club's star rating, the more resources could be exchanged, which in turn fostered the strength of the club members.

The Nine Heavens Club was one of the five-star clubs at Star Academy. Every member inside was extremely strong, with no one dragging the group down.

As the president of the Nine Heavens Club, Xiao Mei personally inviting Lu Yuan was enough to show her sincerity.

"No." But Lu Yuan didn't hesitate at all and directly refused.

The smile on Xiao Mei's face stiffened even more. Previously, as long as she smiled slightly or winked, those boys would come fawning over her.

She had never been rebuffed by a boy like this before.

Lu Yuan wasn't doing it on purpose. It was because, since he was young, the girls he came into contact with were all top-tier in looks.

For example, Celia and Bai Zhi, in terms of both looks and figure, could crush this woman named Xiao Mei by eighteen streets.

Even the two rows of maids at home had higher looks than Xiao Mei.

Moreover, these people were all there to serve Lu Yuan. He really didn't have the habit or hobby of being a simp for others.

Just then, Lei Ting walked over with a few others and looked at Lu Yuan very seriously.

"You are very strong. I am not as good as you."

"Thanks for the compliment. You are indeed not as good as me." Lu Yuan was not good at lying.

Lei Ting: ??? How was she supposed to respond to that? He had killed the conversation with a single sentence.

Lei Ting rolled her eyes and got straight to the point.

"I want to invite you to form a team to clear a hidden BOSS together."
