Chapter 331: Start The Show (4)

Once again, a fight broke out. This time, Su Yu had changed his approach. Ferocious. He was fighting with intense ferocity.

He was fighting the same way he fought during his match against Huang Qifeng. He did not take his cultural weapon out while his willpower was only used to protect his sea of willpower. The moment the match started, he opened all his acupoints and charged forward.

Fast.

He moved and attacked rapidly, his attacks fierce and ferocious. At this moment, nobody felt like he was a cultural researcher. Everyone felt like they were looking at a brute from the war academy. In less than a minute, sounds of exclamations rang out from the crowd.

Su Yu had allowed a small saber to stab through his shoulder blade before grabbing Hu Yu with his right hand. Before Hu Yu could concede, Su Yu's leg lashed out and broke over 10 bones in Hu Yu's body.

Blood flowed out of his shoulder and dyed his clothes red, but he seemed completely incapable of feeling pain, ignoring the saber as it flew out from his back and opened a wide wound on his body. He stomped his foot down.

With a crack, he broke more of Hu Yu's ribs.

Then, he kicked Hu Yu out of the ring like he was kicking trash.

He picked up Hu Yu's saber and smiled before tossing it toward Hu Yu. After moving his injured arm for a bit, he said, "The spars in the academy are too soft. You should have cut my entire arm off instead. If you think you can stop me just by stabbing through my shoulder, you are underestimating me too much."

"..."

The crowd sank into silence.

A lot of girls were looking at him with sympathy. In the past, they had felt that he was too gentle. Today, he was once again revealing his feral side to the crowd. That was how he had behaved when he faced Huang Qifeng. He was behaving the same way today.

Not only was he ruthless toward his enemies, but he was also ruthless toward himself. The expressions of some top 100 students turned even more solemn than before. They had always thought that Su Yu lacked experience and had grown too quickly. But Su Yu had proved that in terms of ruthlessness, they weren't his match either.

Only those who had experienced it would understand how painful it was to have one's shoulder blade stabbed through. And Su Yu appeared completely indifferent to that injury.

Within the crowd, Zheng Yunhui curled his lips. A bunch of idiots. Su Yu was not some inexperienced rookie. This fellow had taken some human lives before. Zheng Yunhui had investigated Su Yu before.

Even though some of Su Yu's information had been kept hidden, he was still able to find out about them. Before even reaching the Great Strength Realm, Su Yu had already taken the lives of some cult members. He was a killer.

If anyone dared to tell Zheng Yunhui that Su Yu was a refined scholar, he would give that person a punch in the face.

"Huang Yi, do you concede?" Su Yu asked with a smile, "You are the last of the three. Do you concede?"

Huang Yi had a stiff expression, but she remained silent.

"Fine. Give me half an hour."

He smiled, but in Huang Yi's eyes, that smile of his looked somewhat frosty. Clearly, Su Yu had finally been angered. After all, he was getting harsher and harsher toward his opponents.

Huang Yi suddenly felt a sense of crisis enveloping her. After a while, she clenched her teeth and said, "I concede."

She did not have the confidence to face Su Yu in battle. She was afraid that she would suffer the same fate as the previous opponent. It was not worth risking a fight with Su Yu just to try and get a willpower text. Even if Su Yu was already injured, this was still not an opponent she wanted to risk facing.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Su Yu was completely indifferent. He did not care about the gender of his opponent. Even if the opponent was a girl, he still wouldn't hold back against someone trying to take advantage of him.

Something like gender did not matter for him. Clearly, he had successfully intimidated the crowd with his performance so far. He was very satisfied. Some of the students were even starting to look at him with dread.

And that wasn't what Su Yu wanted. He was a good and honest man. He was everyone's friend. Don't look at him like that! Now that he had used the stick, it was time to take out the carrot.

A wide smile bloomed on his face as he said, "I know what everyone is here for. You're all here for the willpower text, right? If you are willing to be reasonable with me, then I am naturally willing to be reasonable as well."

"As for those trying to pull a cheap trick against me like dropping their rank to challenge me...I find these people disgusting. Teacher Zhao, I refuse the rest of the challenges. Since I've accepted three challenges today, I am now free to proceed with non-top 100 matches."

Numerous hearts thumped in the crowd.

What?

Su Yu loudly said, "Willpower text? You don't have one? Fear not! After today, everyone will have one willpower text! I am willing to exchange pointers with all students below the Skysoar Realm! As long as you pay me a fee of one merit point for my time, I am willing to spar with everyone. And I guarantee you will win the spar.

"As for whether you can actually get the willpower texts, I can't promise anything. But I believe a Mountainsea cultivator won't be shameless enough to renege on his debt. I believe some of you will be able to get the reward."

Su Yu laughed, "Are you worried that a top 100 student can't fight you? Fear not! After today, I will no longer be a top 100 student! I will have to trouble Senior Sister Lin Qing who is ranked 100th to challenge me and push me out of the ranking. After that, everyone will be able to challenge me!"

The moment those words were said, a clamor erupted among the crowd.

Suddenly, Chen Yong's willpower erupted as he roared, "Silence! Line up! Sign up and go one after another. One merit point for one willpower text. As for whether you can get the willpower text or not, we won't be making any promises. We were not the ones who had promised this reward."

"Jia, get to work. Start collecting the fees." Looking at the stunned Wu Jia, Chen Yong said, "What are you waiting for? Everyone else, line up and register your participation here. It is still very likely for you to get something out of this. Even if you can't get a willpower text written by a Mountainsea cultivator, any random willpower text would have a value surpassing 100 merit points. You have numbers on your side. What are you afraid of? If they renege on the debt, they can talk to the Talent Fostering Bureau."

All the students were stunned. And the expressions of those from the single character faction changed.

"Chen Yong, you..."

Chen Yong released his willpower and coldly said, "What? Do you object? Even if you do, keep it to yourself. You guys are the ones who have started this. I hope you can actually fulfill the promise you made. Otherwise, I would be more than happy to escalate this matter."

Suddenly, someone rushed out of the crowd and loudly said, "I wish to sign up. Do I only need to pay one merit point? Will Su Yu concede?"

"Definitely." Su Yu smiled, "I enjoy sending a certain someone to bankruptcy. I hope everyone can participate."

The student wasted no time and said, "I am not a top 100 student. So we can't really fight..."

"That person did not say that the match must be an official challenge. But to prevent him from reneging on his word, please give me a moment. I will drop out of the top 100 first. Friends behind me in the ranking, is anyone interested in challenging me?"

Some of the top 100 students looked at each other in hesitation.

In the crowd, Zhang Hao pushed someone beside him. That person looked at him and softly said, "Hao, we will offend—"

"Is the Talisman Faculty afraid of them? Senior Brother, has Teacher told you to lower your head to the single character faction?"

That person's expression changed as he stepped forth and said, "Ranked 88th, Wang Qing of the Talisman Faculty, wishes to challenge you."

"I concede."

Su Yu was extremely straightforward.

Next, Zheng Yunhui shouted, "It's my turn! You're now in the 88th place so I can challenge you. Su Yu, concede!"

Su Yu laughed, "I concede."

"Hahaha! I'm now ranked 88th!"

Meanwhile, Wang Qing was completely stunned. His rank had increased to the 71st place. And he hadn't even fought anyone. Just like that, his position had increased by 17 places?

Wu Lan also hurriedly pushed Lin Qing. With a dumbfounded expression, Lin Qing looked at her teacher. Wu Qi had an amused smile on her face as she nodded.

Lin Qing then said, "100th place, Lin Qing, wishes to challenge Su Yu."

"I concede."

Lin Qing was completely stunned. She was now in 91st place. This had happened out of nowhere.

"Anyone else? I am now in the 100th place. Anyone can challenge me. One more challenge and I will be out of the ranking." Su Yu looked at the first student to sign up and smiled, "How about you, Senior Brother? You're now a top 100 student. I concede."

"..."

Everyone was speechless. The students started looking at each other in excitement. Should they go for it? They might not be able to get the willpower text. But what if they could get it? The expressions of some single character faction experts changed as they rushed off to the Heart Cultivating Pavilion. This was getting very troublesome.

Within the crowd, Xia Huyou smiled. At that moment, someone from the crowd shouted, "Liu Bo from the Weaponsmithing Faculty wishes to challenge you."

"I concede. Don't forget to pay the fee of one merit point," Su Yu answered with a smile.

"Wang Hao of the Pill Faculty..."

"I concede."

"..."

"I concede."

Again and again, Su Yu conceded. The entire academy was being driven mad.

Meanwhile, Wu Jia was collecting merit points with a dumbfounded expression. How did this happen? Wasn't her junior brother here to fight today? He had finally won three matches, but why was this happening?

Her junior brother...had dropped out of the ranking. And she was...collecting money?

One merit point, two merit points... One student after another walked up to her to make a payment.

The majority was beyond reproach.

In the beginning, a lot of people were still fearful of the single character faction. But as more and more people participated, the students started growing excited. What were they afraid of? What the hell was there to be afraid of?

The worst that could happen was Faculty Head Zhou reneging on the debt. And they only needed to pay a low price for a chance to hit the jackpot. Perhaps they might hesitate if the fee was ten merit points, but it was only one merit point. They could afford to lose that much.

And if they managed to hit the jackpot, they would obtain a willpower text written by a Mountainsea cultivator! They would regret this for the rest of their lives if they didn't give it a try!

Wu Jia was completely dumbstruck when she looked at her merit card. She had accepted more than 1,000 merit points thus far. Looking at that number, she almost cried.

She had never seen this much money before. But today, everyone was lining up to give her money.
