Chapter 373: I, Su Yu, Am Not A Sore Loser (2)

Su Yu said, "Teacher Xia kept harping on rules, discipline, and military law. Does someone like that not know that you need to pay up when a debt is incurred? Is someone who would renege on his debt even worthy of being a teacher? Is someone like that qualified to berate me for not respecting my teachers and elders? His student has just arrived at the academy so he definitely can't afford the challenge fee. As the teacher, shouldn't he be the one paying?

"If we're going to talk about rules, then the rules need to be applied to everyone. Otherwise, someone like him won't be qualified to punish me and my teacher and deprive us of our merit points. Ah, I see. Is it because this is Great Xia?"

Su Yu's voice suddenly increased in volume.

"This is Great Xia, so no rules matter for him? This is Great Xia, so the members of the Xia Family can do as they wish? But Great Xia King and Prefect Xia have always followed the rules. Even when Marquis Xia does business, he follows the rules. But Xia Yuwen is the exception? He alone can act like a tyrant?"

"..."

For the sake of 10 merit points, Su Yu was basically saying that Xia Yuwen was not even qualified to be called a human.

The furious Zhou Pingsheng said, "I'll pay."

"You? Manager Zhou, are you Xia Yuwen's father? Or are you his son?"

"Bastard!" Zhou Pingsheng raged.

Su Yu indifferently continued, "If not, are you his teacher? On what basis are you paying for him? If you insist on giving me money, I'll take it as a gift. Since Manager Zhou is so generous, I will gladly accept your gift."

Fury.

Anger.

This Su Yu was not only strong in combat, but he was also incredible in a war of words. Was he not going to stop before Xia Yuwen personally came over and pay him the merit points? Right that moment, a jade case flew over. With a bang, it landed in the ring.

"For you." Xia Yuwen's calm voice rang out from faraway, "Ten drops of source qi liquid. Is this enough?"

The jade case had actually been embedded into the floor. Su Yu's pupils shrank. Even when he and Zhou Hao rampaged all over the ring, they had only managed to leave some shallow dents on the floor. But this jade case thrown over from faraway by Xia Yuwen had actually been embedded into the floor.

Very strong.

Su Yu smiled, "Of course it's enough. But according to the academy rules, apart from the students in an active match, anyone else will be subjected to a fine of 100 merit points for damaging the ring. I think that's a rule we have. Teacher Xia, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to pay more."

He then looked at Liu Hong and smiled, "Teacher Liu, as a referee, don't you know the rules? Are you sure you're qualified to be a referee? The academy rules are starting to look more and more unimportant. And that's the fault of those who either don't care about or don't know the rules."

Liu Hong laughed and said, "My apologies. This is my first time being a referee. I am still somewhat clueless. In that case, Brother Xia, please pay 100 merit points. Don't break the rules or I'll get in trouble as well."

"..."

Everyone was starting to feel awkward on behalf of Xia Yuwen. It was clear that the jade case had been embedded into the floor to shame and scare Su Yu. But Xia Yuwen had instead placed himself in an awkward position.

He was fined 100 merit points for damaging the ring. Students wouldn't be fined for damaging the ring during a match. And in truth, it was extremely hard for students to actually damage the ring. Thus, it had been many years since someone was last fined for this reason.

Did Su Yu not need to cultivate? Why did it seem like he spent all his time studying the academy rules instead of cultivating? No reply came from Xia Yuwen. Nobody knew if he was so furious he couldn't speak or he simply didn't know what to say.

A short while later, another jade case flew over. This jade case was much calmer than the previous jade case.

Xia Yuwen made no sound. Liu Hong smiled and caught the incoming jade case before saying, "That concludes the matter. Su Yu, are you continuing your challenge?"

Su Yu smiled, bent over, and punched through the jade case embedded in the floor to reveal the 10 drops of source qi liquid inside.

After nonchalantly swallowing a drop of the source qi liquid, he smiled, "Of course."

He then looked at the crystal stele near the ring before looking at the crowd.

He said, "The seniors ranked above me, can one of you do me a favor? I do not wish to fight any students not from the single character faction. I hope you can give me the chance to witness the strength of the single character faction experts."

A youth from the crowd smiled and said, "I'll do it. I'm right above you at rank 60. My position is just enough to challenge the top 50 students. I am not your match. Perhaps I would try to exchange some pointers with you if this is any other day, but there is no need to do so today. I concede."

"You have my gratitude, Senior Brother Jiang."

Su Yu was very polite. He gave the student a slight bow and smiled, "After I wipe the floor with the single character factions ahead of me, you will probably find yourself in a higher rank. Don't you worry about your rank, Senior Brother. I'll be sure to cripple at least one of them."

"..."Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

Near the ring, the student surnamed Jiang did not know whether to laugh or cry. He definitely couldn't say anything to that. He would probably incur the wrath of the single character faction if he said anything.

Conceding to Su Yu wouldn't offend the single character faction since he was allowing the challenge to continue. But if he chimed in while Su Yu was talking shit about the single character faction, there was no guarantee that the single character faction wouldn't be offended.

"Next."

Su Yu said nothing else and continued his challenge. A long-haired youth inhaled deeply and leaped into the ring with a solemn look in his eyes.

"Su Yu, I"

"You don't need to introduce yourself. I'm not interested. Referee, we can start."

"You!"

The youth was furious. Liu Hong cleared his throat and said, "Sure. Let's continue. You are allowed to concede if you want. Begin."

Right after that, the long-haired youth crushed a jade talisman.

Whoosh!

A shield materialized. After using his willpower to activate the shield, the student retreated instead of approaching Su Yu. Meanwhile, Su Yu merely watched on silently without doing anything.

Silence descended.

Su Yu was not moving. His opponent was also not moving after activating his defensive talisman. But there was a time limit to the defensive talisman's activation.

Thus, Su Yu's opponent was placed in an awkward position. He wanted to attack Su Yu with his cultural weapon, but the moment he summoned his cultural weapon, he would expose himself to Su Yu's Soul Devouring Art.

But if he didn't use his cultural weapon, his only choice would be fighting with his physical body. He clenched his teeth. He couldn't wait until his talisman expired or it would be a complete waste. And there were so many people watching.

He rushed Su Yu, preparing to fight in melee range. He did not dare to use his cultural weapon and willpower due to his fear toward the Soul Devouring Art.

Su Yu remained still. He stared at his opponent silently, to the point his opponent was feeling a chill up his spine. But at this point, there was nothing Su Yu's opponent could do apart from proceeding with his attack.

Su Yus opponent clenched his teeth and continued his charge. He had a cultivation of fourth-stage Infinite Strength Realm. He was definitely not weak.

When he arrived near Su Yu, he saw that Su Yu was still not doing anything. Steeling himself, he threw a punch to Su Yu's right arm. He had seen with his own eyes that Su Yu's right arm had been broken earlier. That was a weak point he could manipulate. But right after he threw the punch, alarm bells rang in his heart.

A regretful sigh rang out in his ears.

"Idiot."

Boom!

Behind him, Su Yu had utilized the third move of the Skybreak Technique, the Source Break move to crush one of his acupoints. The acupoint exploded and his source qi started leaking. The long-haired youth coughed a mouthful of blood before collapsing with heavy injuries.

Su Yu shook his head and said, "As a cultural researcher, you're fighting without using his willpower. Doing so, you won't even be able to see through my illusions. Which idiot gave you this idea?"

That was too idiotic. Talisman? Not using his willpower? And open himself wide to illusions? Su Yu couldn't understand the logic behind the youth's decision.

Near the ring, many faces turned red in embarrassment. They had completely forgotten about this.

Holy shit!

Due to the excessive strength of Su Yu's physical cultivation, many had forgotten that he was also a cultural researcher with second-tier characters. He was capable of generating second-tier illusions.

The long-haired youth had forgotten about that and was too busy worrying about the Soul Devouring Art. Thus, he had decided to not use his willpower. As a result, an illusion was used on him instead.

That was an illusion that was already hard to break out of even with willpower. Yet this fellow had decided to not use willpower. The end result was clear for all to see. He had suffered miserably for his choice.

One of his acupoints had been destroyed. He could repair the acupoint, but repairing a damaged acupoint was harder than opening a new acupoint. He would probably spend a month or two in recuperation.

After destroying his opponent's acupoint, Su Yu gave his opponent a heavy kick without giving his opponent the chance to say anything. With a rumble, his opponent landed outside the ring.

"Is this the intelligence level of a top 50 student from the single character faction?"

Su Yu frowned doubtfully before shaking his head. He had a look of regret on his face. With the look on his face, it was as though he was asking Zhou Pingsheng if these students were even qualified to be cultural researchers with that level of intelligence.

"Damn it!"

Zhou Pingsheng and a few others frowned. This was getting very troublesome. If they utilized willpower, they would have to watch out for the burning and corrosive effect. If they didn't use their willpower, he could easily influence them with his illusions. The only solution was to have a strong enough source qi to break through illusions like Zhou Hao. But not even the source qi of regular fifth-stage Infinite Strength cultivators was that powerful.

"Next." Su Yu sighed and said, "Can you guys surprise me or something?"

A girl frowned and looked at Zhou Pingsheng. Zhou Pingsheng transmitted his voice to the girl, "Drain his energy. No matter how strong the Soul Devouring Art is, it is only a cultivation method with 36 acupoints. Its actual offensive power is at the Great Strength level."

The girl was rendered speechless. She knew that as well. What was the point of telling her that? The issue was the extreme pain that the Soul Devouring Art could cause. Just look at Zhu Hong and the others. Only one attack was enough to cause them to wail in pain. That art was not easy to deal with.

She was unwilling, but she had no choice but to fight. She wasn't from Zhou Mingren's line. Rather, she was from Elder Yu Hong's line. With the absence of Elder Yu, Zhou Pingsheng was the person in charge. What else could she do? She leaped into the ring.
