read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1149

Yu Shangrong came to a halt.

All of Lu Zhou’s disciples inhaled deeply, wondering if Yu Shangrong’s heart was about to get mercilessly abused.

“Do you know why you lost?” Lu Zhou asked.

Yu Shangrong shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Lu Zhou walked around as he said, “The Guiyuan Sword Technique is good; it’s not wrong to cultivate it. However, it’s too conservative and might restrict you…”

Yu Shangrong raised his head, slightly surprised.

Lu Zhou continued to say, “I was the one who taught you the Guiyuan Sword Technique. Therefore, all your movements were within my expectations. If you didn’t lose, then who would lose?”

Everyone nodded.

Yu Shangrong understood his master’s meaning as well. In fact, anyone else would have found it difficult to defeat him. He knew no one was more familiar with the Guiyuan Sword Technique than his master. Before he even drew his sword, his master had already seen through his intentions. This feeling made him feel slightly uncomfortable. He would rather spar with his Eldest Senior Brother than his master since he understood his Eldest Senior Brother’s Great Dark Heaven Memorial. It would be fair since he and his Eldest Senior Brother understood each other.

“Yu Shangrong,” Lu Zhou said.

“Yes, master.”

“Try and create your own technique with your attainments in the sword path.”

“Create my own?” Yu Shangrong seemed enlightened by these words. “Thank you for your guidance, master!”

Lu Zhou’s words were like medicine for Yu Shangrong’s heart, causing his body to thrum with excitement.

At this moment, Yu Zhenghai walked over, sighing inwardly. He felt that his Second Junior Brother was truly miserable. Not only did his Second Senior Brother get beaten to such a state, but he even had to force a smile on his face.

Yu Zhenghai said, “Second Junior Brother, are you alright? Master is doing for your own good.”

Yu Shangrong replied, “Eldest Senior Brother, you worry too much. He who suffers defeat on the sword path has room for improvements. If one is blind to improvements for the sake of so-called dignity and pride, then one is foolish…”

Yu Zhenghai. “…”

After saying that, Yu Shangrong turned around. Then, he swept his gaze across his juniors and asked, “Do all of you understand?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

All of them nodded repeatedly. How could they not understand?

Yu Shangrong nodded his head in satisfaction and walked to the side.

Lu Zhou continued to hold on to the wooden stick.

Meng Changdong observed Lu Zhou’s expression and action before he ran to the outside and prepared a pile of wooden sticks. Then, he respectfully handed one to Yu Zhenghai.

Yu Zhenghai said, “I don’t need it. Master, I use my palm as a saber.”

Lu Zhou nodded in approval. “Okay.”

As soon as Lu Zhou’s words fell, Yu Zhenghai rushed over. He launched the Great Dark Heavenly Palm.

When the palm seal appeared, it struck down immediately.

Lu Zhou dodged to the side.

At the same time, energy sabers like the stars shot to the ground.

Earlier, Yu Zhenghai had seen how Yu Shangrong suffered the disadvantage from using a technique his master was familiar with. Therefore, he decided to use a new move from his saber technique.

Alas, as soon as the energy sabers appeared, Lu Zhou leaped and deflected all the energy sabers. Then, he pressed his hand foam.

“Palm technique?” Yu Zhenghai’s eyes widened. He thought to himself, ‘Master, you’re cheating! I thought we agreed to spar using saber techniques?’

The palm seal was incredibly huge.

No matter how spacious the arena was, it would be difficult for it to withstand the palm strike of a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator.

Many of them wondered if the magnificent palm seal was going to tear down the royal palace.

While Yu Zhenghai was still in a daze, the palm seal suddenly flashed and turned into a sky full of energy sabers. Then, they spun like a windmill and descended.

“Dark Heaven Starlight?” Yu Zhenghai was a little confused.

Yu Zhenghai waved his hand, trying to dispel countless energy sabers raining down on him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yu Zhenghai’s sparring session with Lu Zhou was much more intense compared to Yu Shangrong’s sparring session with Lu Zhou.

Yu Zhenghai was originally open and unrestrained so he did not use intricate moves. He raised his hand before energy sabers shot out in all directions.

Everyone retreated.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yu Zhenghai’s energy sabers and his hand, which he used as his saber, seemed to have successfully blocked the Dark Heaven Starlight, causing the energy sabers to fall. He could not help but rejoice inwardly. ‘Since I managed to block master’s Dark Heaven Starlight, I’m definitely stronger than Second Junior Brother, right?’

Yu Zhenghai could not stop himself from turning to look at the spectators and smiled triumphantly.

Lu Zhou’s voice rang in the air at this moment.

“You’re too easily distracted.”

The Dark Heaven Starlight that was about to touch the ground suddenly shot toward Yu Zhenghai at this moment.

The entire arena was only filled with energy sabers and their afterimages at this moment.

“Eldest Senior Brother, you can do it!” Little Yuan’er shouted. Despite her words, she immediately raised her hands to cover her eyes and watched the battle from between her fingers.

The two figures fought fiercely.

What a familiar scene…

About 15 minutes later, the energy seals finally dissipated.

The two separated; one on the left and one on the right.

Everyone hurriedly rubbed their eyes and looked at Yu Zhenghai.

There was only one word to describe Yu Zhenghai’s current state: miserable.

Yu Zhenghai’s long robe resembled a huge piece of torn rag more than it resembled a robe. Even his boots were not spared. The torn pieces of fabric fluttered in the wind pitifully.

“E-elder… Elder Senior Brother… I… I-I’m sorry… I really can’t… hold it in… anymore…” Zhu Honggong struggled to say as he held his stomach before he finally burst out laughing.

“Hm?” Yu Zhenghai turned around and shot Zhu Honggong a look.

Zhu Honggong’s laughter came to an abrupt stop, and he lowered his head immediately.

Needless to say, Lu Zhou was completely unscathed.

Yu Zhenghai now had a Four Chart cultivation base, which was not as profound as Yu Shangrong. Therefore, Lu Zhou’s attack that almost beat him to a pulp seemed more ruthless.

“Although the Great Dark Heaven Memorial is very direct, it’s not without details…” Lu Zhou said.

“Thank you for your advice, master.” Yu Zhenghai glanced at Yu Shangrong from the corner of his eye. There was a clear smile on his Second Junior Brother’s face.

“Your attainments in the Great Dark Heaven Memorial are quite profound. It’s almost the same as Old Second. From now on, don’t let the Great Dark Heaven Memorial restrain you,” Lu Zhou said.

Although Yu Zhenghai was thoroughly defeated, he was overjoyed and greatly encouraged by these words. He bowed respectfully. “Understood!”

At this time, Lu Zhou saw the words ‘Eternal Paragon’ and ‘Mentor’ shining on the system panel. This showed that even though Yu Zhenghai had completed his apprenticeship, he could still continue to teach Yu Zhenghai. The only thing was he could no longer earn merit points from Yu Zhenghai.

Lu Zhou’s disciples had just sighed in relief when Lu Zhou said, “Since everyone is here, I’ll be fair and guide all of you. You can attack altogether.”

Zhu Honggong, Mingshi Yin, Little Yuan’er, and Conch. “???”

‘Master! We only came to watch the show!’

“What are you waiting for?” Lu Zhou tossed the wooden stick up.

The wooden stick flew up in the air before millions of energy seals appeared, covering the entire arena.

The Evil Sky Pavilion’s four elders, the Left and Right Envoys, and the Guardians were stunned, rooted to their spots.

Soon after, wails, screams, pleas for mercy rang from the arena; they lasted for an hour.

When it was almost over, Pan Litian said with a smile, “It went much smoother than I expected. Pavilion Master seems to be in a good mood as well. Guardians, Envoys, you must seize this opportunity to ask the Pavilion Master for guidance…”

“Brother Yan, I have something to attend to. Farewell,” Lu Li said before leaving in a hurry.

Yan Zhenluo cupped his fists at Pan Litian and said, “I think I have something to attend to as well. See you later.”

Pan Litian. “…”

When the other three elders turned around, Lu Li and Yan Zhenluo were nowhere to be seen.

When the disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion left the training arena, all of them returned to their respective rooms with bruises on their faces and bodies.

…

In the evening.

In the Preservation Hall.

After spending time teaching his disciples, Lu Zhou was naturally reminded of his third disciple, Duanmu Sheng. It was inevitable for him to worry since he knew nothing up until now.

Hence, he sat cross-legged as soon as he returned to the hall and silently recited the incantations for the power of sight.

This time, he saw an island in the middle of a vast lake.

Lu Wu was sitting in front of Duanmu Sheng and staring at him. It opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of white mist that shrouded Duanmu Sheng.

Following that, the images were suddenly cut off.

“Huh? What’s going on?”

Lu Zhou opened the system interface to have a look.

A notification kept flashing under Duanmu Sheng’s name: Target’s loyalty is 0%!

There was no hatred, but Duanmu Sheng’s loyalty was 0%!

‘What happened to Old Third?’ Lu Zhou was perplexed.

At this time, Duanmu Sheng’s loyalty suddenly changed.

Loyalty: +5%

Loyalty: -5%

This cycle kept repeating over and over again for a long time.
