Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 138, Second Assessment, Teammate Senior Brother Zhang

A day later, the second round of the intermediate-level student assessment began. Everyone waited quietly to enter the examination room, and they also looked forward to their teammates.

Of course, regardless of one's own ability, people expect their teammates to be formidable.

And Lu Yunshi?

He was holding the assessment rules in his hands, examining them closely, as if he could see something extraordinary in them.

Suddenly, that familiar feeling surged into his body. Lu Yunshi sighed and disappeared from the spot. With a flash of white light, Lu Yunshi appeared on a vast dueling platform, along with three other people.

"Senior Brother Zhang Quan?" Lu Yunshi's expression changed as he looked at the man to his left.

“Junior Brother Lu…” Zhang Quan was stunned when he heard the familiar voice. He didn’t really want to see this person who knew about his dark past.

"Could it be...?" Lu Yunshi's eyes lit up, and he took out his own stone tablet. Zhang Quan and the other two quickly took out their stone tablets as well.

The results were quite obvious: Lu Yunshi and Zhang Quan's stone tablets emitted a white light, while the other two were green.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I never expected that we would be able to form a team together. I'm so lucky." Lu Yunshi approached Zhang Quan with a joyful expression, looking on with admiration.

Seeing Lu Yunshi's expression, Zhang Quan's vanity was greatly satisfied. He raised his head, his face full of confidence. "Haha, don't worry, with me, Zhang Quan, here, no matter what kind of enemy we encounter, I will make sure they never return."

"Then we'll have to rely entirely on Senior Brother Zhang." Lu Yunshi nodded quickly, feeling extremely grateful to his senior brother.

"But speaking of which, I heard that you and Miss Lu have been having an affair lately?" Zhang Quan glanced at Lu Yunshi and then asked meaningfully.

"Hey, what's going on? It's all just rumors. I even got a good beating from Miss Lu yesterday," Lu Yunshi replied, feigning disappointment.

"Oh, I knew it. She doesn't even like me, so how could she possibly like you?"

Zhang Quan took a deep breath and finally relaxed. But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something seemed wrong and immediately coughed lightly and said to Lu Yunshi.

"Hey, Junior Brother Lu, don't mind me. I know my words were a bit rough, but I just wanted you to face reality as soon as possible."

"Hey."

At this moment, a voice seemed to try to interrupt their conversation, but Lu Yunshi ignored it.

"It's alright, Senior Brother Zhang. This setback can't defeat me; it will only temper me and make me a better version of myself."

"Ah... I really envy your persistence. Like me, I clearly like someone, but I don't dare to pursue them so passionately."

"Hey!"

The voices that tried to interject again rang out, but were once again ignored.

"What? Why? Senior Brother Zhang Quan is such a good person, yet he doesn't dare to freely pursue the one he loves?"

"Sigh! There's nothing I can do. There are many people in this world who are not in control of their own lives. No matter how good I am, I can't tolerate a woman's violence."

"Ah? Could it be that Senior Brother Zhang, you were also...?"

"Yes, she broke my leg."

"Hey! Are you still going to fight?"

Finally, the opposing team couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly. But Lu Yunshi and Zhang Quan wouldn't let them get away with it. Zhang Quan, who had already hit a nerve, shouted back directly.

"What are you yelling about? Don't you know you can't interrupt when others are speaking? That's basic manners!"

"Uh..." Seeing Zhang Quan's aggressive demeanor, the two opponents inexplicably deflated, looking embarrassed. "Um... why don't you go outside to talk? This is an assessment, you know."

"Hmph, you are nothing more than generals who can only withstand one blow in front of my Senior Brother Zhang. How dare you bark so arrogantly?" Lu Yunshi sneered, then looked at Zhang Quan.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I think these two dare to act so recklessly because they don't know your strength. Why don't you teach them a lesson?"

"Haha, then Junior Brother Lu would better watch out for your Senior Brother Zhang's skills." Zhang Quan smirked, deciding to face the two alone.

Senior Brother Zhang's strength was indeed formidable. In just half an hour, he sent out two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and his aura did not weaken at all. After it was over, he could even strike a pose.

"Senior Brother Zhang is so handsome! I think all the students in the academy should come and learn from and admire your posture." Lu Yunshi clapped wildly, giving it plenty of emotional value.

"It's nothing, Junior Brother Lu. Now that you've witnessed it, Senior Brother Zhang has to have a good talk with you about this battle..."

Before he could finish speaking, a new opponent appeared. Upon seeing this, Lu Yunshi immediately said to Zhang Quan, "Senior Brother Zhang, they actually interrupted you while you were speaking. It's extremely disrespectful."

"It does seem a bit disrespectful to me." Zhang Quan clenched his fist, nodded in deep agreement, and walked towards the opposing team with a gloomy expression.

The opposing team was also a mid-stage Nascent Soul combination. This time it took some effort, but we still managed to defeat them successfully.

"In battle, you must not only win with momentum, but also with style. Whether it's a big win, a medium win, or a small win, you must maintain your composure throughout the battle. You must also have your own unique posture. This posture is called the language of the victor. You don't need to say anything; it's enough to make others feel the pressure of your victory and prevent them from daring to offend you." Zhang Quan once again struck his victorious pose and finished speaking.

"Wow~ I've learned something. Senior Brother Zhang is indeed experienced. He even knows how to suppress the opponent from such trivial details that ordinary people would never think of. However, how to maintain composure during the battle? I would appreciate it if Senior Brother Zhang could give me some pointers." Lu Yunshi's eyes sparkled as he hurriedly asked for the other party's guidance.

"Shh~" Zhang Quan smiled wickedly and blew on his bangs. "Junior Brother Lu, you're very lucky. There are many enemies this time, so I have enough time to teach you what the style of battle is, and the unspoken words of a victor."

No sooner had he finished speaking than new enemies appeared, one in the late game and one in the mid game. They were clearly not as easy to deal with as before, but Zhang Quan still maintained his composure and stood in front of the two men.

"Just you alone?" Seeing that only Zhang Quan was facing him, the late-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator frowned slightly. Was this underestimating him, or was there some kind of scheme?

"Hmph." Zhang Quan sneered, his expression indifferent, while Lu Yunshi seemed to have thought of something and immediately shouted loudly at the two of them.

"What my senior brother Zhang means is that you should not be too presumptuous. Don't underestimate him just because he is alone. The two of you are still far inferior to him alone."

"Hmph." Zhang Quan snorted again. Lu Yunshi's words were slightly off, but roughly correct.

I have to admit, it's pretty good to have a junior brother who understands me.
