Chapter 443: The Crazy Su Yu (4)
Elder Sun and the other single character faction elders frowned.
Was he really so strong? Damn him! Those with the courage to challenge Su Yu would naturally not be weak. But they had been defeated just like that.
Liu Hong suddenly smiled and said, "Su Yu, you are strong. Looks like even Zhan Hai might have a hard time against you. No wonder you were so arrogant earlier."
"Childish." With a calm tone, Su Yu said, "Anyone interested in courting death is free to step into the ring. What a pity that we can't have a fight to the death."
Su Yu then flashed a smile as he said, "I hope to see these senior brothers healthy again after a few days. At their age, it will greatly delay their cultivation if they still have to spend years bedridden."
He was provoking the single character faction with every word of his. He was basically asking them if Elder Sun and the other elders would spend the money to heal them from their injuries.
Broken bones, damaged organs, destroyed characters...would the single character faction really administer treatment to these students?
Elder Sun could sense that some of the students were starting to hesitate. He announced, "As long as you are a student of the single character faction, you will be healed regardless of your injuries as long as you are not dead yet."The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
That placated a lot of the students.
Su Yu smiled and said, "What's the point of only healing them? That will still delay their cultivation. You also owe them some consolation rewards. For example, you should reward each student with the courage to enter the ring with 1,000 merit points. Everyone, this is me fighting for more benefits for you. You're welcome."
"..."
Elder Sun was infuriated. What joke was that? 1,000 merit points for each student? Did merit points fall from the sky or something?
"So you're not willing to even give that much? You're asking these students to fight with their lives and future on the line. Why is it that some people can easily get tens of thousands of merit points while some can't even get a thousand merit points? Elder Sun, you know who I'm talking about. If the ones who are actually staking their lives aren't going to be rewarded, why should they fight?"
"Bullshit!" Elder Sun roared, "Su Yu, if you keep babbling nonsense, I'll kill you where you stand!"
Su Yu nonchalantly said, "Is it a crime to speak the truth now? You want to kill me? Bring it on. I honestly don't mind using my life to drag a Mountainsea down with me. This would be totally worth it. I only worry that Elder Sun wouldn't be willing to perform such a trade."
"You! Audacious!"
Furious, Elder Sun stood up and glared at Su Yu murderously. How impudent. Clearly, Su Yu was here today to challenge them. This kid had provoked him again and again!
"Chen Yong, is this how the students of the multiple character faction speak to their elders?"
Elder Sun then looked at Huang Chen and said, "Huang Chen, a mere student is running his mouth against an elder. Do the rules still exist?"
Old Huang frowned and chided, "Su Yu, stop babbling nonsense!"
Su Yu calmly said, "Hall Master Huang must have misunderstood me. I would never dare to violate the academy rules. I am merely speaking the truth. Even if you demand the name of the person I'm talking about, I won't hesitate in giving it. Some people have been allowed to get away with embezzling tens of thousands of merit points from the Character Faculty. Do you want me to actually file an official complaint about it?"
Su Yu looked at Elder Sun and indifferently said, "If Elder Sun believes that I am saying all that to offend you, I don't mind making a proper report so that the academy can launch a formal investigation. If it is found out that I am lying, I will kneel in front of you for three days and three nights, accept 500 whips, and forfeit all my benefits as a student of the academy. Is this acceptable, Elder Sun?"
Among the crowd, Wu Jia was anxious, Xia Huyou had a solemn expression, while Wan Mingze and the rest were frowning.
It wouldn't be surprising for teams this strong to encounter each other near the end of the tournament. It was still too early for them to meet. All the other participants were caught by complete surprise.
"Finally, you guys are here." Su Yu smiled.
These were exactly the people he had been waiting for. These were five students near the Skysoar Realm. If he could defeat them even when they were working together, then the single character faction would be reduced to a complete joke today.
His battle intent erupted.
His killing intent soared.
Liu He and the others distanced themselves from him.
Liu He had a look of struggle on his face. Five strong opponents had appeared. Were they still going to stand there and do nothing? But those five opponents were people from his faction!
The more he thought about it, the more furious he was. He felt like a fool, standing there like he was a piece of furniture. He was nothing but a joke. He was infuriated. This was not what he wanted. He wanted to fight until the very end. But he knew he couldn't do so.
If this were any other time, he might be able to get away with fighting alongside Su Yu. But so many people were looking. The moment he made a move, even his elder brother and teacher would be implicated.
Rage started simmering in his heart.
This was not the kind of life he wanted to live. He wanted to live like Su Yu, to say and do as he pleased. Even if the opponent was someone he couldn't defeat, he would still be willing to fight. Beside him, Zhou Hao grinned.
But when Zhou Hao looked at Su Yu, Su Yu merely shook his head. He did not intend to let Zhou Hao reveal his hand so early. More matches were waiting for them. Way too many people were waiting to take advantage of them after they were weakened.
Zhou Hao...would be his gift for the next team to challenge them.
As for their current opponents, he alone would suffice.
One acupoint after another was activated in his body.
A storm of source qi swirled around him.
As his battle intent soared, his battle character started showing signs of advancement.
His saber appeared before gathering all his characters in it. The sheer presence of the saber forced the weakest member of the team, Lin Yao, to take several steps back. The pressure was so great that he almost lost his footing.
That was too powerful.
At that moment, Su Yu felt more like a primordial beast than a frail human.
All five of his opponents turned solemn. Just how many acupoints had he opened to produce such a pressure just from activating his acupoints? The aura he radiated was too scary.
