Seeing Yu Xiaoying struggling, Yu Zhibo was amused. He easily lifted Mo Yu from his shoulder and held her in his arms.
He tapped Yu Xiaoying's forehead with his fingers and said, "Stop messing around. Take my advice, you can't handle this cat!"
With that, he swaggered into the inner room, carrying the 124-kilogram Mo Yu.
The apartment Yu Xiaoying was assigned had the same layout as Yu Zhibo's, but unlike Yu Zhibo's Room 202, the walls were covered with cute cartoon character wallpaper, and the room was filled with various useful little gadgets.
For instance, there was a retro-style speaker attached to the entrance, a pink cute phone stand on the table, and next to the coffee table in the living room, there was a red hand-shaped chair. Even the computer desk was covered with a pink and light red checkered tablecloth, making the entire room feel dreamlike and girlish.
Yu Zhibo, like a loafer, carried Mo Yu and wandered around for a bit before finally plopping down on the soft sofa. He glanced at Yu Xiaoying and asked, "Are you done?"
"Mm, after your eyes looked at me, I remembered when you kicked out my front teeth while playing with me when I was four. Then I was fine~"
Yu Zhibo broke out in a cold sweat.
Yu Xiaoying didn't seem to mind. As she spoke, she walked over to the water dispenser with Patrick Star on it. She picked up a custom-made cat-ear cup from Taobao, costing thirty yuan, printed with a photo of Yu Zhibo at six years old, poured him a glass of water, then sat beside him, stroked Mo Yu's head, and asked curiously:
"Brother, what realm are you at now? I saw on the bullet comments that many people say you can rival the Ten Great Heavenly Prodigies of Kyoto. As she spoke, her eyes showed a hint of admiration and the expectation of her brother's success."
Yu Zhibo took the cup and looked at it. Seeing the slightly goofy photo of himself from childhood, he felt a bit speechless but still said, "I'm C-class now. I can barely fight against Hei Mo at the early B-class."
"Amazing, my brother! Yu Xiaoying was instantly full of admiration. "In that case, you should be ranked in the top five among the Ten Great Heavenly Prodigies."
"Are the Ten Great Heavenly Prodigies very popular now?" Yu Xiaoying's admiration made a hint of pride appear on Yu Zhibo's face. After taking a sip of water to mask it, he casually asked.
He had just come out of a secret realm and didn't have much concept of these things.
"Yes, the Ten Great Heavenly Prodigies is a term coined by an A-class netizen who likes the internet. Based on the combat videos of multiple C-class streamers, they are the top ten C-class ability users in Kyoto, all capable of fighting above their level. Like Xia Bu Ling, who controls shadows, Zhuge Yan of Qimen, and Ju Lu Yuan, whose ability is that the farther he is from home, the stronger he becomes. Each one is more monstrous than the last."
"The farther he is from home, the stronger he becomes? Yu Zhibo's face showed surprise. "That's too powerful! If he entered the Eternal Night world, wouldn't he be directly god-like?"
"Yes, but they can only settle down in the same space. Alternate dimensions are invalid, according to what's online."
Yu Zhibo nodded. "That makes sense."
Then he asked, "What about the other prodigies?"
"There's also Xiong Chumo, who is a cute muscular loli. She's over two meters tall and incredibly strong, capable of tearing apart B-class demon tigers with her bare hands. There's also Zhong Yu, who awakened the ability of impersonation. When he impersonates Yasuo, he can directly block attacks from B-class powerhouses with his wind wall."
"And then there's the bald Wu Feng, who gets stronger through training. He's practically a real-life One-Punch Man. As long as he trains, he gets stronger. Below A-class, he's completely unstoppable. He's currently C-class, but I feel like he'll break through to B-class soon."
"Such strange abilities!" Yu Zhibo couldn't help but sigh after listening to Yu Xiaoying's introduction.
"What about other provinces? Are there no prodigies?"
"Yes! But they are mostly scattered, just one or two. Like in our Ningcheng, if there were any, it would probably be you, brother!" Yu Xiaoying said, her face filled with pride at the end.
"I don't think so!" Yu Zhibo chuckled.
"Why?" Yu Xiaoying asked, confused.
"Because I'll be B-class soon!" Yu Zhibo said, stroking Mo Yu's fluffy head with a nonchalant expression.
Having activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, his corresponding level was B-class. Even if he did nothing during this period, he would smoothly advance within a month!
Every day, his body was being slowly transformed, waiting for the opportune moment.
"Holy crap, that's awesome!" Yu Xiaoying couldn't help but exclaim.
Yu Zhibo tapped her head. "Aren't you going to explain yourself? Why were you so foul-mouthed in the live stream? Always threatening to scatter people's ashes!"
"Hehe~" Yu Xiaoying cupped her head where it was tapped and explained, "I joined an emoji group. In that group, everyone uses pictures to curse people, and it's really funny!"
"Get rid of it quickly!" Yu Zhibo said without further ado, directly asking Yu Xiaoying to take out her phone, open QQ, and find the group.
He casually glanced at the group chat and found only emoji pictures with extremely malicious and vulgar text. He felt somewhat speechless and decisively left the group.
After eliminating the hidden danger of Yu Xiaoying becoming an "Anzhuang" (a slang term for someone who uses toxic language online), Yu Zhibo planned to leave. He still had to cultivate.
"Brother, just stay with me for a bit. I haven't seen you in so long. Why don't you let Mo Yu stay too?" Yu Xiaoying pleaded.
"No, Mo Yu can't leave me!" Yu Zhibo stroked Mo Yu, who was nestled tightly in his arms, and shook his head in refusal. After a few seconds of thought, he directly created a shadow clone.
"A clone? That's so cool!" Yu Xiaoying looked at the clone, which was identical to Yu Zhibo and had an arrogant expression, and her eyes lit up.
"Hello, little sister!" The proud clone rarely showed a smile and patted Yu Xiaoying's head. The next moment, his face froze.
"The fleshiness is exactly the same!" Yu Xiaoying reached out and pinched the clone's face, her face filled with amazement again.
"Let the clone play with you!" Yu Zhibo gave the clone a sympathetic glance and turned to leave, heading towards the cultivation quiet room in the Steel Fortress.
Next, he planned to refine the blood of the Profound Li Divine Beast and develop Water Release ninjutsu with it. That way, after learning Water Release ninjutsu, he would have another trump card.
At the same time, along the northern coastline of Ningcheng, the waves raged. A monstrous beast head, as large as a house, emerged from the sea tens of kilometers away. Its pupils were dark gold, and its entire body exuded the terrifying aura unique to A-class beings.
This beast was none other than the A-class sea beast that had annihilated the Universe Nation a month ago. After devouring the life force of nearly a hundred million people, its strength had become even more terrifying.
It did not choose to appear off the coast of Kyoto, where the defenses were extremely strong, but instead appeared on the northern coast of Ningcheng.
However, unfortunately, due to the rampant invasion of sea beasts in various countries around the world over the past month, the Dragon Country had long been prepared. The Ningcheng coast naturally dispatched powerful A-class experts to guard it.
"Dragon Country border ahead, no entry!"
The moment the A-class sea beast appeared, a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on top of a giant lighthouse standing in the center of the coast slowly opened his eyes. His spiritual power surged out, emitting this mental intent.
This was a middle-aged man with long hair and a stubbled face, but with sharp eyebrows and bright, terrifying eyes. He had no sequence core within his body, yet his entire being felt like a sharp sword, giving off a sense of endless sharpness.
He was a rare sword cultivator.
As he sat, a long sword in a scabbard lay across his knees. The sword within was invisible, but the scabbard was forged from an unknown material and looked quite ancient.
"Roar!" The sea beast felt a stinging sensation from the spiritual will transmitted by the sword cultivator, but it did not retreat. It let out a roar and directly summoned towering waves, which transformed into a tsunami hundreds of meters high, surging forward.
Wherever it passed, space twisted and seemed on the verge of shattering. Behind it, there were tens of thousands of sea beasts, mostly B-class, mixed with C-class. They roared and charged forward, their ferocity overwhelming.
Seeing that the warning was ineffective, the middle-aged sword cultivator stood up, his expressionless face looking at the towering waves that covered the sky. The long sword, with a touch of brilliant golden light, was drawn from its scabbard.
Then, he unleashed a sword strike.
In an instant, starlight descended from the sky, and the sword light transformed into a river of stars, slashing towards the tens of thousands of sea beasts surging forward.
This sword was named Seven Star Dragon Abyss, a sword of noble righteousness. Today, it wished to drink beast blood and protect all living beings!
