A perfect 7th stage Grandmaster who possessed a Heavenly Soul had immeasurable future achievements.
Even if you had seemed ordinary before, once you condensed a Heavenly Soul, you would inevitably become a 9th stage Grandmaster in the future.
There was even a chance to step into the Martial Saint Realm.
Of course, though it sounded simple, in the span of thousands of years, fewer than one hundred martial artists had successfully condensed a Heavenly Soul.
Dragon Nation currently had a total of 228 9th stage Grandmasters.
As for Martial Saints standing at the peak of martial arts, Dragon Nation had 12 in total.
Among them, the only Demigod powerhouse was Minister of Education Ye Tao.
Throughout all the great families of Dragon Nation, almost every family possessed only one 9th stage Grandmaster. Among the thirty-six Martial Saint families, each had two.
But the Su Family was different.
Its glory had continued for a thousand years. Though three Martial Saints had fallen, there had never been a break in its lineage.
Whenever a Martial Saint of the Su Family fell, someone from the Su Family would immediately seize the Martial Saint Dao Fruit and become the new Martial Saint guarding the family.
As for 9th stage Grandmasters, the Su Family had consistently maintained five!
There were also more than twenty experts in the 8th stage Golden Body Realm.
One could imagine how deep the Su Family’s foundation truly was. With such strength, it could easily stand as a medium-sized nation on its own.
Even so, throughout its history, the number of Heavenly Soul Grandmasters produced by the Su Family had only been four. Su Yu would be the fifth.
The tribulation clouds for breaking into the 7th stage were still brewing.
The terrifying Martial pressure within them grew stronger and stronger. Under such world-destroying energy, even a Late 7th stage Grandmaster would feel their heart tremble if they arrived.
If all the lightning rolling within those clouds were to fall upon a city, even a major metropolis with a population of 10 million would likely be reduced to ruins.
Some experts rose into the air and gazed from afar toward the tribulation clouds, saying in shock, “No wonder Heavenly Soul Grandmasters are so rare throughout history.”
“If one doesn’t possess a sufficiently powerful physique and strength, I’m afraid the first lightning tribulation would kill them outright.”
“Which family’s genius is undergoing tribulation?”
Many powerful figures from great families speculated in their hearts.
A Heavenly Soul Grandmaster would, without accident, add one more 9th stage Grandmaster to a family. That alone was enough to secure a top-tier family’s dominance for another 200 years.
Even those experts who were still some distance away from Capital Martial University felt uneasy, let alone those within it.
Students who had been in closed-door cultivation were awakened one after another, forced out of their cultivation states.
When everyone rushed out of their dormitories and gathered in the open space to look up at the sky, they were immediately frightened, their faces turning pale.
“Damn, what kind of tribulation cloud is that? It’s terrifying!”
“Is the principal breaking through to the 9th stage?”
“Obviously not. Although this lightning tribulation is terrifying, it’s far from the 9th stage tribulation.”
A group of students chattered excitedly.
However, when they noticed that the villa directly beneath the tribulation clouds was the one in that direction, an absurd thought suddenly arose in their minds.
“That direction… isn’t that Young Master Su’s villa?”
That couldn’t be possible, right?
While everyone was still discussing, inside the girls’ dormitory, Lin Panxi and her roommates also walked out.
When she heard the surrounding discussions, her delicate face changed repeatedly. She raised her head and looked toward Su Yu’s villa, her expression extremely complicated.
“Isn’t he just an ignorant waste? What right does he have to surpass us?”
Lin Panxi felt deeply unwilling.
From beginning to end, she had never believed Su Yu was better than herself or Chu Feng in any way.
Other than his family background, he was utterly mediocre!
His cultivation level had long ranked in the lower middle tier, and he had no moral bottom line.
He didn’t know how to work hard and spent his days boasting about the Su Family.
After failing to confess his feelings, he even took back the gifts he had given. Such a shameless and disgraceful man, what right did he have to be more talented than her?
“Hmph… enjoy your moment for now. In the future, Chu Feng will definitely surpass you and trample you under his feet!”
The complexity in Lin Panxi’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by a trace of resentment.
“The pain you bring us now, I will repay you double in the future!”
The entire Capital Martial University was shaken by this overwhelming tribulation.
Some experts who had been in seclusion attempting breakthroughs also emerged. The university’s upper management all rose into the air, staring wide-eyed at the scene ahead.
Wang Tianming looked toward Su Yu’s villa, his heart filled with both surprise and complicated emotions.
“A Heavenly Soul Grandmaster. During my tenure, the school actually managed to cultivate one.”
After the surprise, a complex expression appeared on his face.
He cast a subtle glance at Han Shuang beside him, whose expression was extremely unpleasant, and sighed inwardly.
Han Shuang had truly mishandled this matter.
As a member of the university’s upper management, she had openly favored one student and even attempted to severely punish another.
If Su Yu had not had the Su Family behind him, there would have been no room for recovery.
If it had been an ordinary student… he himself might not have stepped forward to protect them.
At the thought of that biased action, a chill suddenly rose from the soles of Wang Tianming’s feet.
If that were the case, it would have meant indirectly offending a future 9th stage Grandmaster, perhaps even a Martial Saint. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Han Shuang naturally had no idea what Wang Tianming was thinking. At this moment, her resentment toward Su Yu deepened further, and she even… faintly harbored killing intent.
She had already thoroughly offended the Su Family and Su Yu.
There was no possibility of reconciliation.
Based on Su Yu’s previous behavior, she could more or less guess that he would not let her off in the future.
Since a life-and-death feud had already formed…
Then it would depend on who killed the other first!
Now it was no longer just about avenging her disciple, but also about her own safety!
The last opportunity to act against Su Yu would only be during the Extraterritorial Battlefield training after the graduation assessment!
With that thought, Han Shuang did not linger for a second. Her figure vanished instantly from the spot.
Wang Tianming did not pay much attention to her departure.
He simply assumed she was upset at seeing Su Yu break through to become a Heavenly Soul Grandmaster and did not wish to witness the advancement.
“Hahaha, as expected of the Young Master of my Su Family!”
“Such a spectacle. He truly is the greatest genius of our Su Family in a thousand years!”
As time passed, a hearty voice rang out beside Principal Wang.
In the next moment, Su Zhanhuang, the Su Family’s resident 9th stage Grandmaster, appeared beside Wang Tianming, the joy in his eyes impossible to conceal.
Wang Tianming turned and cupped his fists respectfully. “Greetings, Grandmaster.”
Though they had only parted not long ago, proper courtesy was still necessary.
Su Zhanhuang nodded and chuckled. “That brat Yu really kept quiet. I thought he’d wasted himself over a woman. Who would’ve thought he was secretly breaking through to Grandmaster.”
Wang Tianming forced a bitter smile.
He truly did not know how to respond to that.
The affairs of the Su Family were not his place to comment on.
“The Heavenly Soul Grandmaster’s tribulation is beginning.”
Just as Su Zhanhuang was about to continue chatting, he suddenly sensed the tribulation was about to start.
The moment both men shifted their gazes toward the center of the tribulation—
From the villa below, a figure enveloped in terrifying Power of Heaven and Earth shot into the sky, charging straight into the tribulation clouds!
Boom!
The instant he plunged into the clouds, the sea of lightning within exploded violently!
The destructive lightning, carrying world-ending power, seemed to find its outlet. Like a flood bursting through a dam, the sea of thunder surged fiercely toward Su Yu!
