The two scrolls of matching Di Class cultivation method and Dou Technique given to Xiao Yu were not an impulsive decision by Mo Yu, but a well-considered one.
After spending so much time together, Mo Yu had noticed that Xiao Yu did not disappoint him. Naturally, Mo Yu also began to regard her with greater importance in his heart.
As for Xiao Yu's talent, Mo Yu didn't particularly care. Unlike Xiao Yan, he didn't need to rely on his girlfriend for support.
With the matching Di Class cultivation and Dou Technique, Xiao Yu's achievements would likely far surpass those in the original novel. This way, Mo Yu could feel more at ease as he roamed the continent.
The day after the gifts were given, the recruitment team from Jia Nan Academy arrived in Wu Tan City.
Although the recruitment team stopped in Wu Tan City, their jurisdiction covered several cities nearby. So, when Mo Yu and the others arrived at the designated recruitment square the next day, they were greeted by a sea of people stretching as far as the eye could see.
The enormous square was filled with deafening chatter, and countless young people were pushing desperately toward the center. If not for the city lord's army maintaining order at the edges, the excited crowd would have already surged forward without restraint.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan and the others couldn't help but sigh, while Mo Yu turned his gaze toward Xiao Yu.
Catching Mo Yu's look, Xiao Yu smiled knowingly and said, "The person in charge of this recruitment is my mentor. As her favored student, I naturally have my ways."
Raising her dainty nose, Xiao Yu playfully grabbed Mo Yu's arm and waved her hand, "Follow me."
Since receiving the Di Class cultivation and Dou Technique from Mo Yu, Xiao Yu had become even more devoted to him, almost viewing him as her entire world.
Watching Xiao Yu openly showing affection, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, and the others were all astonished.
"Is this really the arrogant and proud eldest miss? She's acting more like a gentle wife now!"
Being dragged along by Xiao Yu, Mo Yu rubbed his nose and suppressed the sudden urge rising within him.
Following Xiao Yu, they circled halfway around the large square and finally stopped at the western part of the square. This area was located at the rear of the square, guarded by fully armed soldiers in layers two or three deep.
Xiao Yu glanced at the strict defenses, gave a brief explanation to Mo Yu and the others, and then walked forward alone. She pulled out a green token from her chest and quietly spoke with a soldier who looked like an officer. After a short conversation, she waved to Mo Yu and the others, signaling them to come over.
The middle-aged officer's sharp gaze swept over Mo Yu and the others. After a moment, he waved his hand and shouted, "Let them through!"
At his command, the solid wall of iron-clad soldiers clanged in unison as their armor shifted, creating a narrow path just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Xiao Yu smiled gratefully at the middle-aged officer, put away the green token, and proudly raised her chin at Mo Yu and the others before following the officer inside.
The short passage, less than ten meters long, was made terrifying by the murderous aura of the soldiers who had survived countless battles. But to Mo Yu and Xiao Yan, it seemed mundane.
However, the other members of the Xiao Clan were far from calm.
Xiao Yu gave the officer an annoyed wave before quickly pulling the trembling Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning into the inner part of the square.
In the center of the square was a large green pavilion. From the various passageways, young men and women who had passed the test occasionally emerged with excited faces as they walked toward the interior of the square.
"Yu'er!"
As they approached the pavilion, a cheerful female voice rang out. A red figure darted over and happily wrapped Xiao Yu in a hug, her hands playfully brushing Xiao Yu's waist. "Let me feel if you've gained any weight."
"You pervert, get off me!"
Laughing, Xiao Yu pushed the woman away and, worried that Mo Yu might get the wrong idea, quickly introduced her, "This is my good sister at Jia Nan Academy, her name is Xue Ni."
As she spoke, Xiao Yu introduced Mo Yu and the others one by one to Xue Ni.
Mo Yu and the others looked toward the red-clad girl before them. Her face was slightly attractive, adorned with a radiant smile, and her chestnut-colored hair was tied into a casual ponytail. Her voluptuous chest and slender waist, along with her rounded and perky figure, added to her allure, even though her looks were slightly inferior to Xiao Yu's.
Xiao Yu affectionately clung to Xue Ni, and it was clear from their expressions that the two had a very close relationship.
"So, this is your fiancé, Mo Yu?"
Seeing Xiao Yu's lovestruck gaze when introducing Mo Yu and recalling the rumors she had heard upon arriving in Wu Tan City, Xue Ni curiously sized up the young man before her.
"Not bad, not bad. I don't know if your talent is as amazing as they say, but based on your appearance alone, you're definitely a handsome guy," Xue Ni said, her eyes glinting mischievously.
The recent rumors about the "Xiao Family's Twin Dragons" had spread throughout Wu Tan City, and even newcomers like Xue Ni had heard of them.
A sly smile flashed in Xue Ni's eyes as she suddenly leaned over and whispered into Xiao Yu's ear, "I say, Yu'er, do you mind if your fiancé takes another wife? How about me? I've got everything—big chest, and a great–"
Before Xue Ni could finish, Xiao Yu's face darkened, and she hurriedly pushed her away, her cheeks flushing red.
Glancing at Xue Ni's much more voluptuous chest and then at Mo Yu's indifferent expression, Xiao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Though she knew Xue Ni was only joking, she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, as if Mo Yu might be stolen from her.
Xiao Yan and the others watched the two women playfully bickering, thinking they were just catching up after a long time apart, so they quietly observed from the side. Only Mo Yu, with his far superior soul power, overheard snippets of their conversation. Though his expression remained calm, his mind suddenly wandered into some rather wicked thoughts.
His eyes shifted slightly, landing on Xue Ni's shapely figure, her fair skin peeking through as she moved, along with Xiao Yu's long, slender legs. If the two of them could really…
"It seems the Acquired Heavenly Thunder Body isn't flawless after all…"
Realizing where his thoughts had gone, Mo Yu froze for a moment before shaking his head.
During his recent cultivation, he had gradually discovered a major flaw in the Acquired Heavenly Thunder Body—its uncontrollable lust.
The Heavenly Thunder Body was an extremely masculine and yang-oriented constitution, which made it incredibly attractive to women. However, those who possessed it also had difficulty resisting the temptations of carnal desires.
From Mo Yu's past life memories, he recalled several historical figures who possessed the Heavenly Thunder Body. Though they were geniuses with unparalleled combat prowess, they often rose to prominence like meteors, only to disappear just as quickly.
Upon investigating further, Mo Yu discovered that although these individuals cultivated rapidly and had astounding combat power, as their strength grew, so did their uncontrollable desires. Many eventually succumbed to their lust, causing their cultivation to stagnate and, within a few decades, they faded into obscurity.
In Mo Yu's previous life, he managed to overcome this flaw for two reasons: first, his soul was reborn, significantly reducing the body's influence on his spirit; and second, his disillusionment with love drove him to focus solely on pursuing power.
But now, with the Acquired Heavenly Thunder Body, it seemed he might be heading down that same path.
Shaking his head, Mo Yu dismissed the thought. At the moment, the Acquired Heavenly Thunder Body was more beneficial than detrimental to him. As for the so-called flaws?
The path of cultivation was fraught with peril; death could strike at any moment. Compared to that, these flaws were insignificant.
As for whether he would one day succumb to lust, Mo Yu had absolute confidence in himself. The only one who could control his fate was him.
