Han Shuang was left speechless by Su Yu’s words. Her mouth opened slightly, yet not a single word came out.
It was not as if she had never met Su Yu before.
Back then, Su Yu did not even dare speak loudly. No matter how others mocked him, he would never argue back.
Now he dared to confront her like this. The coldness in Han Shuang’s phoenix eyes deepened.
Damn it!
A mere heir of a powerful family dared to talk back to her.
These second-generation heirs who relied only on their families now even dared to act arrogantly while studying. Truly detestable!
“Su Yu, do you know who you are speaking to? Didn’t your elders teach you not to talk back to your seniors?” Han Shuang said coldly.
Su Yu smiled and mocked, “The Su Family has always upheld strict discipline. We always show respect to our elders, especially those who have made great contributions. I have always respected and admired them.”
“However… for certain people who fail to behave like proper teachers, I do not treat them as elders.”
The implication was clearly directed at Han Shuang.
Su Yu simply could not stand this old woman. Did she really think that backing the Ministry of Education gave her the right to act without restraint?
What did the injuries she suffered in her youth have to do with him?
Moreover, in the original novel, Han Shuang’s character was never likable.
She never gave the protagonist any benefits. Yet the moment he obtained something valuable, she would immediately reach out and take it, claiming it was to help him manage resources since he did not know how to use them properly.
When trouble arose, she rarely stepped forward.
She was like a parasite.
If not for the author writing some ambiguous romantic scenes between her and the protagonist, Su Yu would not have had even the slightest goodwill toward her.
The only time she stood up for the protagonist was when she bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Back when Su Yu’s grandfather, Su Zhantian, had fallen and Su Long had replaced him to guard a region, most of the Su Family’s powerhouses had left. Having just broken through to the 9th stage Grandmaster Realm, she had come to their door arrogantly and, without a word, struck Su Yu severely injured when he stepped out to ask her purpose.
To justify crippling Su Yu’s cultivation, she had said coldly that a 9th stage Grandmaster did not need to explain her actions.
That line had even earned her countless praises.
Absurd!
The protagonist in the original novel had offended many 9th stage Grandmasters, yet none of them laid a hand on him, maintaining the bearing expected of powerhouses.
But she had.
Therefore, in Su Yu’s heart, this master of the Chosen One also had to die.
“When we reach the Extraterritorial Battlefield, I must kill this Han Shuang first,” Su Yu muttered inwardly as he looked at her on the verge of exploding.
She must be killed.
He was practically pointing at her nose and cursing.
She was unworthy as a teacher?
Fine!
Very fine!
“Good, good, good. I’d like to see who gave you the courage to speak to me like this!” Han Shuang laughed in anger and raised her hand, preparing to teach Su Yu a lesson.
Seeing her move, Su Yu remained calm.
He said lightly, “If you dare to use your 8th stage Golden Body Realm cultivation to strike me, then prepare yourself for death.”
“The Su Family does not bully others, but we do not fear anyone either.”
Han Shuang’s eyes narrowed, and she let out a disdainful laugh. “I am a Late 8th stage Golden Body Realm martial artist. If I discipline a junior like you who does not know his place, what can your Su Family do?”
“Even if I kill you, could your Su Family really kill me?”
“Do not forget, you were the one who provoked an 8th stage martial artist first. Your Su Family would not hold the moral high ground!”
She truly did not believe that if she merely taught Su Yu a lesson, Su Long could do anything to her.
After all, she was about to break through to the 9th stage Grandmaster Realm. Who would dare question her for disciplining a junior?
Besides, who did not have a 9th stage Grandmaster backing them?
Hearing her words, a brilliant smile appeared on Su Yu’s handsome face, but within that smile lay madness and disdain.
“Hahaha!”
His laughter rolled across the entire arena, drawing every gaze toward him.
Han Shuang frowned and scolded, “What are you laughing at!”
She could not understand what Su Yu was so proud of.
In the next instant, Su Yu stopped laughing. His eyes turned sharp, his back straightened, and his arrogant words burst forth, shaking everyone to their core.
“Kill me?”
“If it were truly my fault and you killed me, then I would deserve death. The Su Family would have no complaints.”
“But if you attack me without evidence… then I am sorry. The Martial Saint of the Su Family, along with all our 9th stage and 8th stage powerhouses, will move as one. Even if the Extraterritorial Battlefield falls, the Su Family will exhaust all our strength to grind you, Vice Principal Han, into ashes. Your entire Han Family will be wiped out. Even if we bear eternal infamy, the Su Family will not fear it!”
“I want to see where Vice Principal Han finds the courage to offend the hundreds of lives within the Su Family!”
The moment those words fell, everyone stood frozen in shock. Especially the ordinary students who had no idea what kind of power a true powerful family possessed, they turned pale with fright.
A Martial Saint!
The Su Family… actually possessed a Martial Saint!
In Dragon Nation, there was an unspoken rule that powerful families with a Martial Saint must not reveal themselves to the public. Such secrets were never exposed.
Yet now… Su Yu had exposed it himself!
How could that not shock everyone?
On the surface, the Su Family only had a 9th stage Grandmaster overseeing them. Yet now they were revealed to be a Martial Saint family!
In a corner, when Lin Panxi heard the words “Martial Saint,” her mind went blank.
“The Su Family… has a Martial Saint?”
Not just her. Everyone present was stunned beyond belief.
Han Shuang was also shaken by Su Yu’s murderous declaration. After a moment, she regained her composure and retorted, “You are just a junior. Can you represent the entire Su Family?”
“Ridiculous!”
Before she could finish, Su Yu laughed again and shouted, “Disciples of the Su Family, answer her. If any member of our Su Family who has committed no wrongdoing is crippled or killed by Vice Principal Han, what shall we do!”
The moment his voice fell, impassioned cries echoed throughout the arena.
“If one commits wrongdoing and is killed, he deserves it. But if he dies unjustly, we will exhaust the entire clan’s strength. This blood debt will be repaid with the blood of the offender’s entire clan!”
The Su Family had never tolerated wrongdoing. A Martial Saint family would never be lax in discipline.
Even if a wastrel among them were killed for wrongdoing, the Su Family would not say a word.
But if someone were wronged, then even if humanity itself were destroyed, they would avenge that blood debt!
The Su Family had guarded the Extraterritorial Battlefield for a thousand years, protecting the peace of humanity. If even their own clansmen could be slaughtered at will, what meaning would there be in guarding it?
At that moment, a phantom figure appeared beside Su Yu out of thin air.
It was Su Yu’s protector and his Fifth Granduncle, a Late 8th stage Golden Body Realm powerhouse.
When he appeared, the elderly man’s face bore the same smile as Su Yu.
“Vice Principal Han, I am here. I would also like to hear what crime my grandnephew has committed. If he has truly done wrong, whether punishment or death, the Su Family will have no complaints. But…”
“If you cannot provide a proper explanation, then even if it means offending Saint Ye, the Su Family will demand justice from you!”
Boom!
As his words fell, a terrifying killing aura surged skyward, pointing directly at Han Shuang.
“You…”
