Su Zhanyuan’s words left Han Shuang, a Late 8th stage Golden Body Realm martial arts powerhouse, both shocked and furious.
Only then did she truly understand that although Su Yu had once acted like a lovestruck fool, even abandoning his dignity for a woman, once something serious happened, he was still the noble Young Master of the Su Family.
If anyone wanted to touch him, they had to consider who stood behind him.
The Martial Saint of the Su Family… was still alive!
Moreover, his father Su Long was a 9th stage Grandmaster at peak perfection, not far from stepping into the Martial Saint Realm.
No one knew exactly how many 9th stage or 8th stage powerhouses the Su Family possessed.
This was a Martial Saint family with a thousand years of inheritance!
Han Shuang gradually calmed down from her shock and anger, but unwillingness and resentment still lingered in her phoenix eyes.
She, a dignified 8th stage powerhouse, had been threatened by a junior!
Although she was directly under the Ministry of Education and her superior was a Half-step Martial God, would he really offend the Su Family for her, just an 8th stage martial artist?
Clearly unrealistic.
To put it bluntly, if something truly escalated, Ye Tao would most likely abandon her to appease the Su Family’s anger.
The Su Family’s Martial Saint was among the strongest of his generation. Besides, their clan had numerous experts guarding the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
“Hmph, this is still Capital Martial University. If a student violates school regulations, can he not be punished?” Han Shuang changed her tone once she realized she could not suppress Su Yu.
However, Su Yu responded with a disdainful smile.
“Punishment is naturally acceptable. But, Vice Principal Han, please specify which rule I violated.”
“Could it be that when the school said Heaven Ranking challenges allow participants to go all out without holding back, it was merely lip service?”
He might be a villain, but that did not mean he would truly isolate himself against humanity.
Hadn’t all the great villains in novels maintained a refined and elegant image?
He was determined to become the destined villain who ruled over all heavens. How could he make such a low-level mistake?
“You…” Han Shuang was left speechless again.
Because she knew that the violation she mentioned did not exist at all.
She simply did not want Su Yu to steal the spotlight!
“Heh.” Su Yu let out a cold laugh.
He turned away from Han Shuang and looked toward a certain direction, calling out loudly, “Principal, may I ask if there was any impropriety in my actions? My Heaven Ranking stands in the middle tier. The number one challenged me. Am I guilty of bullying the strong?”
“I, as a lower-ranked participant, went all out against the number one. Did I break any rules?”
His voice carried through the arena with a surge of qi and blood. Though not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone.
As his words fell, a helpless chuckle sounded.
Several powerful figures descended from the sky into the arena.
Leading them was the principal of Capital Martial University, Wang Tianming.
There was simply no fault to find.
Han Shuang had been too impulsive.
Although she had been hurt by scum from powerful families in her youth, her reason for standing up for her disciple this time was far too flimsy.
“Haha.”
Upon hearing Wang Tianming’s words, Su Yu laughed and immediately turned his gaze toward Han Shuang, shouting, “Vice Principal Han, since I did not break any rules, on what grounds do you intend to discipline me?”
As Su Yu directed his spearhead toward her, Su Zhanyuan beside him also locked his aura onto Han Shuang.
It was as if, should she dare utter another unreasonable word, he would kill her on the spot.
Han Shuang’s expression changed slightly.
She knew very well that she had no moral standing.
She had assumed that with her status, disciplining a junior from a powerful family would be effortless. Instead, she had been slapped in the face.
She had no doubt that if she continued to argue, Su Zhanyuan would immediately engage her in battle.
Her lips twitched. Unwillingness surged across her mature and charming face. Her slender fingers clenched tightly, silver teeth grinding together. After a long moment, she finally forced out, “This matter was my fault. I did not investigate clearly and wrongly accused Student Su Yu. I apologize.”
The moment Han Shuang apologized, Su Yu smiled calmly and said, “Apology not accepted.”
He then suddenly called out, “Second Granduncle, one palm to settle grievances.”
Huh?
Everyone heard Su Yu’s words and froze.
The next second.
Slap!
A crisp and loud sound exploded across the entire arena.
“Pfft!”
Before the stunned eyes of the students and university leaders, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared before Vice Principal Han Shuang and fiercely slapped her across her beautiful face.
For a moment, everyone’s minds went blank.
What the hell?!
The Late 8th stage Vice Principal Han… had been slapped?!
Han Shuang felt the burning pain on her cheek, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. Her head buzzed.
She… had been struck?
“Who dares to ambush me!” Han Shuang tried to erupt in anger, but a terrifying aura burst forth, suppressing the entire arena and forcing everyone to lower their heads, not daring to look up.
“Heh… you humiliate the Su Family and think a reluctant apology is enough to settle it?” The black-robed figure let out a sinister laugh filled with disdain.
Han Shuang’s body stiffened. She could not move at all.
“9… 9th stage Grandmaster?!” she croaked hoarsely.
“What?!”
At that moment, it felt as if everyone’s brains had exploded.
Though shock flooded their hearts, not a single person dared lift their heads to witness the scene above.
The one who had arrived was one of the Su Family’s 9th stage Grandmasters.
Su Zhanhuang, also Su Yu’s Second Granduncle, a Late 9th stage Grandmaster.
Su Yu bowed slightly toward him and said, “Second Granduncle, thank you for coming.”
The moment Han Shuang appeared earlier, Su Yu had already made up his mind. He had to give her a harsh warning. Otherwise, this old woman would surely ride over his head.
If he could provoke her enough to act, even better. Then he could kill her outright.
“Later, on the day of the graduation assessment, I’ll cut her down for entertainment. Women only hinder my sword-drawing. Please give me a chance, no bad reviews. It’s my first time writing.”
Su Zhanhuang laughed heartily. “Good, good! Boy, this is how a member of the Su Family should be. Neither humble nor overbearing. If we are not at fault, and someone tries to dump blame on the Su Family, they must be prepared to pay the price.”
Beneath the black robe, his aged face beamed with satisfaction, wrinkles bunching together.
He was extremely pleased with his grandnephew’s performance.
The Su Family had never feared anyone, nor would they ever be threatened.
In the past, Su Yu’s weak and submissive personality had displeased him. But today’s actions had deeply won his approval.
Especially that final request for him to strike. It felt exhilarating.
Su Yu smiled faintly and looked at Han Shuang, who was bent under the pressure of a 9th stage Grandmaster. “Vice Principal Han, verbally slandering a member of the Su Family is not something that can be resolved with a mere apology.”
“This palm is punishment for slandering the Su Family and disrespecting a Martial Saint family. Do you accept it?”
You wanted to suppress me with cultivation earlier?
Fine. I’ll summon someone stronger to suppress you and see how you continue arguing.
Han Shuang’s face was twisted in humiliation. Her teeth ground audibly as endless humiliation flooded her mind. But she remained rational.
She knew she was in the wrong and had been too arrogant.
And the man before her was a 9th stage Grandmaster. Even if her father were present, he could not overpower him.
After a long internal struggle filled with humiliation, Han Shuang finally shouted weakly, “I… accept!”
“Teacher…” Chu Feng’s face changed drastically as he saw his domineering master forced to bow her head to a junior.
This had happened because of him.
Su Yu… it’s all because of you!
At that moment, Chu Feng’s gaze toward Su Yu gained a trace of hatred.
In his heart, he had already labeled Su Yu as unforgivable. Not only had he bullied Lin Panxi’s family through his power, but now he had humiliated his teacher.
He… deserved to die!
If he ever achieved Martial Saint in the future, he would kill Su Yu and wipe out the Su Family!
Thinking this, Chu Feng raised his head, his eyes firm and resolute. He spoke word by word, “Su Yu, I will remember today.”
“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Today, you forced my teacher and me to bow through family power. One day, I, Chu Feng, will personally come to challenge you and wash away today’s humiliation!”
