Firefly Journey

Chapter 161 Youth is a hastily written poem (4)

The wind pressure throughout the venue was constantly increasing, from the outside in and from far to near.

The oppressive feeling grew stronger, but Dominic, the spellcaster, remained calm. However, when he saw that Lü Jianming's expression didn't change, he panicked, even more so than when he saw the sword energy.

Anyone else would not be able to remain as calm as him.

The wind pressure was terrifying; it wouldn't be long before it became suffocating.

Lü Jianming seemed oblivious to this; he picked up his sword and began to run.

Dominic's heart sank, and he continued to increase his efforts, rapidly expanding the already surging wind pressure area, which was about to engulf Lü Jianming.

The Crown Prince of Great Chu tilted his head slightly, but did not draw his sword.

He took out a piece of jade.

The jade pendant had a unique shape and was called a jade pendant in the Chu state.

White tassels were set at the end of the jade pendant, fluttering in the strong wind.

Ordinary jade would certainly not be taken out on such an occasion.

This is a magical artifact, a powerful magical artifact.

The wind pressure field was incredibly violent up to the jade pendant. Upon contact with it, however, one could not advance even a single step.

It was as if there was an invisible shield in front of him, protecting Lü Jianming tightly.

Dominic looked somewhat desperate.

Then he remembered something.

Lu Jianming is the crown prince of the Great Chu Kingdom in the Far East. Great Chu was once the most powerful country in the world. How could their crown prince not have a powerful magic weapon?

This jade pendant alone is enough to illustrate the difference between the two.

Regardless of strength, just in terms of background alone, Lü Jianming had already completely crushed him.

Perhaps he wouldn't need the abilities of a "swordsman"; he could easily defeat him with just his rare magical artifacts.

For some reason, Dominic suddenly sobered up under these circumstances and then began to regret it.

People like Lü Jianming should be fawned over, not made enemies.

Look at his attitude towards his friends, it's simply impeccable. Ario is just a new classmate, someone he's only known for a few days, but when trouble comes, Lü Jianming always steps up to help.

What if it were you?

The conclusion is the same.

The problem is that he chose to be the enemy, so he can only be trampled underfoot.

Feelings of regret welled up inside Dominic, and the pressure increased even more.

In contrast, Lü Jianming's facial expression remained calm and composed.

He raised his sword, his eyes instantly becoming arrogant. "Han Guang" split into three, then into nine, until a total of twenty-seven light swords appeared behind him.

Many students outside the venue recognized him.

This is the "Swordsman's" divine decree—Sanhua.

The sword is split into four parts and suspended, then used in combination to subdue the enemy. The more swords that split, the more powerful this oracle becomes; twenty-seven swords—it's truly astonishing.

At this age, with such a number of achievements, it's beyond comprehension; it's hard not to consider him a genius.

In fact, Lü Jianming was a genius. Back in his motherland, he was extremely talented in everything from the Four Books and Five Classics to martial arts; he learned quickly and understood everything instantly.

However, after the Chu Kingdom suffered a major defeat in the war between the Chu Kingdom and the Empire, he was taken hostage by the duchy. With his body and mind broken and no one to look after him, he became a spoiled brat.

In fact, even if a pearl has been covered in dust, it is only a matter of time before it can shine again if he wants to.

"Just admit defeat, or I'm afraid you'll die here."

Lu Jianming, with twenty-seven lightsabers hovering beside him, spoke calmly.

If he hadn't displayed amazing fighting prowess, Dominic might have thought he was being sarcastic, but given the current situation, his statement is quite convincing.

While the training ground may reduce the damage, no one can guarantee just how powerful Lü Jianming's "Scattered Flowers" truly is.

A product costing 100 gold coins can be discounted by 30% to 30 gold coins. But what about a product costing 1,000 or 10,000 gold coins?

When the Oracle's power is strong enough, even though the training ground's mechanics can reduce most of the damage, the remaining portion that is not negated should not be underestimated.

In front of everyone, Dominic knew that defeat was inevitable, but he was still unwilling to give up, because it was a matter of face.

No matter what, he was a class monitor, if he surrendered and admitted defeat, how embarrassing would that be? He would be laughed at in St. Louis.

Seeing that he didn't stop moving, Lü Jianming shook his head helplessly. Why don't you listen to advice?

The conflict between the two did not escalate to a life-or-death situation, nor could it even be considered hatred. Although Lü Jianming was flamboyant and arrogant, he was not entirely without discretion in his actions.

For a small fry like Dominic who doesn't know his place, a lesson is enough.

Lu Jianming suddenly threw out the jade pendant, which, while in mid-air, suddenly burst forth with a screen of light, blocking the raging wind from the two of them.

Without the support of the wind pressure field, Dominic's combat power dropped significantly. At this point, he could only use some basic "wind mage" divine pronouncements.

The wind mage's divine pronouncements are mostly related to speed, making them less effective in combat.

The professions in the God of War path are known for their combat prowess.

With the situation under control, Lü Jianming didn't waste any words and mobilized all his lightsabers to attack Dominic.

Dominic, amidst the rain of swords, used his agility as a wind mage to constantly weave through the enemy lines, desperately trying to evade them.

Lu Jianming lost his patience. His eyes narrowed, and the lightsabers, no longer chaotic, gathered together to form a net that attacked Dominic from all directions.

Having exhausted his magical energy, Dominic no longer had the will to resist and simply stood still without dodging.

The sword net plummeted, stopping abruptly when it was about ten centimeters above his head; the outcome was already decided.

As the referee called a halt, Lü Jianming strode out of the training field, beaming with pride.

When Lü Jianming returned to Class 29, he was about to speak when he noticed that everyone looked rather unwell, as if they had been completely drained.

"No, I won! You should praise me!"

Sabrina said irritably, "Winning is winning, so what? If the teacher hadn't said that we have to watch every match carefully and not leave without permission, I would have gone home to have tea long ago."

Lu Jianming was annoyed. What was wrong with his squad leader today? Normally, even if he really thought that way, he would never show it.

They might even offer a few words of praise.

They're not even pretending anymore, isn't that a bit odd?

"How about we go celebrate?" Lu Jianming suggested, walking into the middle of the group. "There's a nice new cake shop that just opened."

Upon hearing the word "cake," everyone fell silent.

Mirashu said, "Cake? My Warcraft doesn't eat that!"

Lu Jianming was even more puzzled. At this moment, Paninger came over and said, "There's a reward for winning. This is for you!"

The girl from the dragon tribe held a piece of green cake in her hands, which looked very healthy. Coupled with her sincere little eyes, it was hard to refuse her.

It was perfect timing; since no one else was willing to talk to him, and Paninger was willing to come and offer help, Lü Jianming felt that he couldn't let such a kind offer go to waste.

So he took the cake, opened his mouth, and was about to put it inside.

No one present revealed the truth.

Because they believe that suffering is only meaningful when it is shared.

They are incredibly united in this matter.

As for the first fraudulent wind chime, it went home as soon as the competition ended.
