Chapter 368: The Strong Su Yu (3)
Su Yu looked around the ring and said, "Pieces of trash from the single character faction. Do you dare to accept my challenge? Get into the ring. You guys love fighting your fellow students, right? You guys love challenging our faction, right? Get in the ring! Today, I will enter the Top 100 Ranking and clean it completely of trash like you."
More and more people had arrived.
Su Yu roared, "You worthless dogs. You only dare to bully my senior sister? You only dare to bite her because she's injured? Looks like you guys are really dogs."
Apart from those from the single character faction, not a single person present felt that he was being rude. In fact, they felt great satisfaction listening to him. The single character faction was too excessive! They only dared to bully Wu Jia. Before she was injured, where were all these people?
In the ring, Zhu Hong had an ugly expression. Should he accept the challenge? But even Huang Qifeng had been crippled by Su Yu. How would he be Su Yu's match?
Su Yu sneered at Zhu Hong and said, "Piece of trash. Garbage. I know you're afraid of me. Scum like you only dare to fight your fellow students. You only dare to fight those weaker than you. How would you dare to fight me?"
Someone from the crowd coldly said, "Su Yu, why don't you challenge me?"
Su Yu looked at the speaker and snorted, "Di Feng, who do you think you are? Since you wish to die, I'll fulfill your wish sooner or later. But like my fight with Huang Qifeng, I'll climb the ranking until I reach a high enough level before settling scores with you, scumbag."
He then addressed the crowd, "Since this garbage Zhu Hong lacks the courage to accept my challenge, where are the pieces of trash who had fought my senior sister earlier? I'll fight all of you at once! Come on! You guys can join hands with Zhu Hong and fight me together! Since you slimes are afraid of fighting alone, I'll allow you to come together."
The moment that declaration was made, many people looked at Su Yu in shock. One ought to know that the ones who had fought Wu Jia earlier were almost as strong as regular top 100 students. After all, they wouldn't have dared to challenge Wu Jia who was a ninth-stage Great Strength cultivator if they were too weak. Was Su Yu getting overconfident?
Everyone knew he was strong. But he still wasn't at the Infinite Strength Realm. It would be hard to fight against quantity. Even actual Infinite Strength cultivators would be defeated when facing too many Great Strength cultivators.
The perfect example would be the Infinite Strength cultivator from the Myriad Race Cult in Nanyuan. That person had been defeated by a bunch of Great Strength cultivators.
"Garbage. Are all of you so scared?" Su Yu roared, "Do you only dare to bare your teeth against the weak? Is the single character faction filled with garbage like this? In that case, the single character faction should be disbanded. People like you are future members of the Myriad Cult Race. You will desert the moment you are sent to the Allheaven Battlefield.
"Is the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy meant to produce people like this? People who are scared of fighting me even when they have the numbers? People like you will probably drop to your knees and kowtow to the first myriad race enemy you meet on the battlefield."
All those provocations angered the single character faction members so much their faces were flushed red. Zhu Hong's expression was incredibly ugly.
Di Feng continued staring at Su Yu coldly. Su Yu looked at him and sneered, "Di Feng, do you disagree? Don't worry. It will be your turn soon. I will climb the ranking one step at a time and defeat all single character faction members I encounter. The single character faction can completely forget about your reputation. None of you have the courage to face me. I will show the academy that garbage will always be garbage."
Di Feng coldly said, "Su Yu, you are someone who has defeated Wang He. Now, you are challenging others"
Su Yu interrupted, "I'm sorry to tell you that I'm currently not a top 100 student. As for how I dropped out of the ranking, that's all thanks to your shameless faction. Are you trying to drag my reputation through the mud because of that? Why don't you use your brain and think about the reason for my drop in ranking."
Su Yu sneered, "Looks like the single character faction can do no wrong. When I got into the ranking, you people shamelessly dropped your ranks to challenge me. When I dropped out of the ranking, you claimed that I am too strong to challenge those weaklings. Are you not disgusted with yourself?"
Su Yu spat, "I don't know about you, but I am so disgusted I feel like throwing up. I can cripple these pieces of trash even with both hands tied. You guys are too disgusting. I wouldn't have bothered to waste my time fighting bugs like you otherwise. Do you think people like you are even worthy of fighting me?"
Su Yu pointed at Zhu Hong, "Is he worthy? If these clowns had not injured my senior sister, would this clown be worthy of even standing beside me?"
No matter what, Zhu Hong was a top 100 student. And he was someone who had fought hard for his position. Over the past few days, the ranking had been changing repeatedly.
Some people had been kicked out of the ranking and some new people had managed to enter the ranking. With great difficulty, he finally managed to get into the ranking. Yet Su Yu was humiliating him like this. He couldn't take it anymore. With his face flushed red, he roared, "Su Yu, don't think that nobody can defeat you!"
"At the very least, I can kill a piece of trash like you without trouble." Su Yu's killing intent rose as he asked, "Clowns, I'll face all of you. Do you dare to fight me?"
Zhu Hong's heart was shaken as he took a step back. Just a moment earlier, he felt like he was facing mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. But immediately after, he regained his clarity of mind. He felt thoroughly humiliated. He...had actually been scared by Su Yu!
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
"He's afraid before the fight! Looks like he's really scared of Su Yu!"
Around the ring, the crowd started jeering.
How humiliating.
"Accept the challenge! There are five of you. And four of you are nearly as strong as top 100 students. Why are you afraid? How useless."
"Yeah. You're afraid even with a numbers advantage? You only know how to bully an injured student? Wu Jia is an injured student. The single character faction is really getting more and more useless."
The students started chiming in.
At this point, some researchers had arrived as well. A Cloudbreach cultivator stared at the students who had spoken. Some were afraid after being stared, some were indifferent, and some were getting even more agitated.
"What are you looking at? Oh, I get it. A Cloudbreach is going to beat me up. Understandable. This is the tradition of the single character faction. Sending Cloudbreach cultivators against Mental Tempering Stage students. Incredible."
This student was none other than Zheng Yunhui. He looked incredibly excited. He wished for nothing more than to sow more chaos.
Looking at the researcher, he laughed heartily, "Why are you still looking at me? Was I wrong? Everyone is looking at you. Your people are truly worthless. If this is the war academy, even if the students aren't a match, they would have accepted the challenge long ago.
"Look at them. They have less courage than a girl! Wu Jia is injured yet she dared to fight after being provoked by Zhu Hong. She is a real woman! Your single character faction is filled with cowards worse than women!"
A lot of schoolgirls glared at him angrily, but they couldn't help but to agree with his sentiment. How shameful. Wasn't the single character faction supposed to be the strongest faction in the academy? Was this the extent of their capabilities?
The researchers started conversing through voice transmissions. They could ignore the provocation of anyone else. But this was Su Yu. If they ignored him, then they would really lose all their prestige.
"Zhu Hong, all of you will accept the challenge. If you feel that you're not his match, promptly concede. Since he had challenged all of you together, just go. None of you is his match individually. You can't show fear here or everyone in the single character faction will start wavering."
The researchers could clearly feel that something was off here. They could see that a lot of the new members of the single character faction were starting to lose faith in the faction. Some had complicated expressions, some looked disdainful, and some looked disappointed.
Was this the so-called strongest faction in the academy? Even if they weren't Su Yu's match, they should still fight. Just look at Wu Jia! Even with her injuries, she had still fought until the very end.
Meanwhile, people like Zhu Hong had only embarrassed them again and again. If Su Yu was allowed to keep swaying the public opinion, the new students would lose faith while the old students would be disappointed. Even some researchers were feeling extremely ashamed. If this continued, the single character faction would be reduced into a clown.
It wouldn't matter if they lose. But they lacked the courage to even fight! What was that shameful performance?"
"Accept the challenge!"
The researchers reached an agreement and transmitted their voices to the students, telling them to accept the challenge.
Zhu Hong clenched his teeth and said, "Fine. Su Yu, since you wish to fight, since you have agreed to fight all five of us, then we will be fighting you together!"
The other four students jumped into the ring. They all looked furious and ashamed. This was too embarrassing.
Su Yu smiled. He carried Wu Jia off the ring and placed her down. She had already regained her consciousness. He softly said, "Thanks for the hard work."
He then turned around and leaped into the ring. Time to beat these people up!
Zhao Ming grew excited as well. He said, "You know the rules. Shall we start now? Su Yu, are you sure you want to challenge all five of them?"
"Yes."
"In that case, match start."
Instantly, Zhu Hong and company found their vision darkening. Next, their willpower was corroded. All of them wailed in pain. That was painful. Too painful. The pain felt even worse than death.
An invisible hammer slammed into Zhu Hong's sea of willpower. Zhu Hong could only feel his sea of willpower destabilizing, his willpower burning, and his vision blacked out. The gap between them was too big. In the blink of an eye, all five of them were waiting in pain from Su Yu's Soul Devouring Art.
And with the hammer strikes, all five of them were stunned. With a thick killing intent in his eyes, right after the hammer strikes landed, Su Yu swept his leg out.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
All the bones in Zhu Hong's body were broken as he was sent flying away. Even after falling on the ground, Zhu Hong did not react to his physical injuries since his willpower injury was even heavier.
At almost the same time, the other four received the same fate. All five of them were instantly brought down like training dummies who didn't know how to hit back. They were completely helpless.
Then, Su Yu took out his saber and swung at all five of them.
Zhao Ming was about to stop him when he said, "I'm not killing."
Zhao Ming blanked out slightly before stopping. The saber was actually aimed at empty air.
"Ahhh!"
A succession of wails rang out. Su Yu had actually cut through their exposed willpower.
Bang!
Then, he kicked all five of them out of the ring, piling them up before the injured Wu Jia.
"Garbage."
Su Yu snorted and looked at the researchers from the single character faction with disdain. Silence enveloped the area. They knew that Su Yu was strong, but he seemed to have grown even stronger. This was way too scary. Five students, including a top 100 student, had been defeated before they could even surrender.
This was a defeat. An absolute defeat. The expressions of the researchers changed. This fellow had grown even stronger. He was much more terrifying than before. It was the Soul Devouring Art! It had corroded the willpower of his opponents! That was the bane of cultural researchers!
