Upon hearing those words, Han Shuang instantly raised her head and looked at her newly accepted disciple. A trace of softness appeared in her eyes.
Good. A good disciple.
Even when facing an enemy far stronger than himself, he remained fearless. In the future, he would surely achieve greatness.
Su Yu, however, appeared completely indifferent. A bright smile spread across his face as he said, “Sure. Then work hard.”
Thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank?
What nonsense.
I didn’t even ask you to break off an engagement. Why are you saying such useless things to me?
And besides… right now, you don’t have the confidence to speak to me like that.
To me, you’re nothing more than a slightly valuable treasure-hunting mouse.
The ruins and treasures you obtained in the original novel, the inheritances of powerful experts, the peerless martial arts techniques, the confidantes… I want them all.
I’m keeping you alive only to squeeze out your maximum value.
Want to escape my control? Try again in your next life.
Seeing Su Yu’s calm and composed expression, the humiliation in Chu Feng’s heart intensified.
What exactly is he so proud of? Just because he was born into a good family?
What gives you the right to be noble?
If Su Yu heard those words, he would probably burst out laughing.
What gives me the right?
Of course it’s because the Su Family has guarded Blue Star for a thousand years. Three Martial Saints have emerged from the Su Family, and all of them died in battle on the Extraterritorial Battlefield. Countless 9th stage Grandmasters and 8th stage Golden Body Realm powerhouses, along with innumerable followers of the Su Family, all perished suppressing alien races and ferocious beasts.
At the side, Wang Tianming, the principal of Capital Martial University, saw that Han Shuang had lowered her head in apology and quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Although seeing his school’s Vice Principal slapped in front of him made him uncomfortable, Han Shuang had brought it upon herself.
What he feared most was that she would stubbornly insist on punishing Su Yu without understanding the consequences. If that happened, not only would the entire Capital Martial University suffer, even the Ministry of Education would be troubled for quite some time.
The Su Family was notoriously protective.
If possible, it was best not to provoke them.
Look, just verbally angering Su Yu had led him to summon a Late 8th stage martial arts powerhouse. Now, a 9th stage Grandmaster had appeared to support him.
Who would dare provoke that?
Aside from Minister Ye Tao of the Ministry of Education, who had the ability to offend the Su Family?
Seeing the atmosphere grow awkward, Principal Wang stepped forward and announced loudly, “Alright. The winner of this challenge is Student Su Yu!”
“Tomorrow is the final day before the Heaven Ranking closes. I hope all students will seize the time to cultivate and strive for a good ranking!”
“In addition… after tomorrow’s ranking closes, the top twenty on the Heaven Ranking will have the opportunity to receive the martial arts inheritance of our former principal, who was in the 9th stage Grandmaster Realm!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire arena fell into shock once more.
The news was like a bomb exploding in everyone’s hearts.
In an instant, all the students’ eyes burned with excitement.
“Martial arts inheritance of a 9th stage Grandmaster!”
“Damn, this is way more exciting than any ordinary reward. I’m challenging the Heaven Ranking tomorrow!”
“Forget about number one or top ten. Let’s focus on getting into the top twenty.”
“My family found me a breakthrough pill. I originally planned to use it on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, but now it looks like I have to use it today.”
“Same here. I must fight for this 9th stage martial arts inheritance!”
Everyone’s enthusiasm was ignited.
The martial arts inheritance of a 9th stage Grandmaster was not merely techniques and combat skills, but also that Grandmaster’s lifetime cultivation insights.
If one could obtain it, the probability of advancing to the 9th stage could even increase by 60 percent.
Seeing the students’ passion rekindled, Principal Wang finally relaxed. At the very least, the Su Family’s presence would not overshadow this assessment.
After announcing the important news, he turned to Su Zhanhuang and Su Zhanyuan and said with a bitter smile, “Seniors, this is still Capital Martial University’s grounds. The two of you may leave first.”
“I assure you, Student Su Yu will be absolutely safe at our school.”
He could not afford to offend either of them, so he spoke carefully.
Su Zhanhuang laughed heartily and said, “Principal Wang, rest assured. Our arrival today has already broken the rules. We will now head to the Ministry of Education and apologize to Minister Ye Tao.”
They would not allow anyone to break the Su Family’s rules, nor would they break others’ rules.
Especially those set by Ye Tao.
Since they had made such a commotion, they naturally needed to explain themselves.
“Then I’m relieved,” Wang Tianming said with a wry smile and nodded.
After giving a few instructions to Su Yu, Su Zhanhuang and the others vanished from the spot, leaving only afterimages behind.
Once they left, Su Yu glanced at Chu Feng and Han Shuang in the distance, then cupped his fists toward Principal Wang and said, “Principal, I’ll return to cultivate.”
“Alright, go ahead,” Wang Tianming replied, practically wishing Su Yu would leave quickly.
Su Yu smiled faintly and turned to leave the arena.
Behind him, two pairs of eyes filled with resentment and faint killing intent stared fixedly at his back.
Chu Feng and Han Shuang still dared to look at him like that?
Heh…
Once they left Capital Martial University and stepped onto the Extraterritorial Battlefield for training, that would be the day of their deaths.
Especially Han Shuang.
She must die first.
After watching Su Yu leave, Wang Tianming withdrew his gaze and looked at Han Shuang, who still stood there with a face full of hatred. He frowned and said, “Vice Principal Han, I don’t care how unwilling you are, but I must warn you. Put away those petty thoughts.”
“If you dare to assassinate Su Yu, forget your father. Even the minister wouldn’t be able to protect you.”
Hearing the warning in his tone, Han Shuang’s expression changed slightly. But the more she was warned, the stronger her killing intent toward Su Yu became.
He’s just a spoiled young master. Why can’t I offend him?
“Hmph!” Han Shuang snorted coldly, ignored Wang Tianming’s warning, and left in a sorry state.
Watching her depart, Wang Tianming sighed inwardly.
This woman truly had no brain left.
After calming his chaotic thoughts, he looked at Chu Feng again and said gently, “Go back and recover properly. The day after tomorrow, gather at the retirement home behind the school.”
He was a good seedling. He only hoped hatred would not blind him.
“Yes, Principal.”
Compared to Han Shuang, Chu Feng knew how to disguise himself better. On the surface, he respectfully bowed to Wang Tianming before leaving as well.
The battle for first place on the Heaven Ranking came to an end.
With the news of the 9th stage Grandmaster’s martial arts inheritance spreading, every student cultivated like mad that night, all striving for a ranking.
It was easy to imagine that tomorrow’s arena would be extremely lively.
Even some low-profile prodigies who had intended to quietly develop their strength could no longer sit still. They all stepped forward, aiming to fight for a place in the top twenty of the Heaven Ranking.
That night.
After returning to his cultivation villa on campus, Su Yu immediately entered the cultivation room.
The moment he sat down and entered the System, a series of rapid notifications rang out.
