Chapter 539: I've Decided, Kill Di Feng! (3)
House of Hundred.
A referee had arrived.
At this moment, Su Yu had completely let go of his inhibitions. He looked incomparably relaxed. Looking at Wu Jia in the ring, he smiled. When his gaze landed on the nearby Di Feng who was glaring at him, he smiled as well before making a throat-slicing gesture.
Di Feng's expression changed.
Su Yu's smile grew wider. He was feeling very good. He was wondering what the referee would do if he accidentally killed someone today. Or maybe not? That could be troublesome. He was going to leave the academy soon. Would these people follow him out of the academy?
He thought of a lot of things, but before long, he stopped thinking about all that. In the ring, a roar sounded.
Source qi erupted, willpower swept everywhere, and the aura of Divine Characters spread all over the ring. With nine characters, Wu Jia was clearly superior to Yu Tong. She held the absolute upper hand in their clash.
Crash!
Booming sounds erupted repeatedly.
Although Wu Jia was not as ferocious as Zhou Hao, she was still quite valiant in combat. In less than three minutes, Yu Tong was sent flying by a sword strike. With a pale face, Yu Tong crashed outside the ring. With blood seeping out of her mouth, she pressed her palm against her skewered shoulder with a look of indignation.
Not far away, Yu Hong had arrived. She was looking at Wu Jia with a frosty expression.
Su Yu stepped between them and met her gaze. With a smile, he said, "If you're going to be a sore loser, you shouldn't have competed in the first place."
"Bastard!" Yu Hong scolded, "Who do you think you're talking to?"
Su Yu indifferently answered, "I'm talking to you. Elder Yu. Mountainsea Yu. If you're going to be a sore loser, piss off. I am embarrassed of being a fellow member of Great Xia alongside parasites like you."
"Bastard!"
Yu Hong was furious. Some of the other people there were astonished. Had Su Yu gone mad? Was he not afraid of revenge?
Su Yu smiled, "My apologies for insulting an elder, but I'm being honest. I am willing to accept punishment for that. Elder Huang is here. I can let go of my future stipend, my status as a high-high student, and my status as a top 100 student. Is this acceptable to you, Elder Yu?"
Yu Hong looked at him with a frown.
Su Yu smiled, "Don't bother looking at me. I don't care about the small amount of money I would lose from that. Sure, I did intend to insult you when I said all that, but I was also being honest."
Su Yu then said, "Senior Sister, this should be enough. You're already in the 91st place. Let's wait until the 25th."
Wu Jia looked at Su Yu in confusion. Were they going to wait this out?
Right at that moment, Di Feng stood up. He looked at Su Yu and coldly said, "Su Yu, you have simply been waiting for me. What's the point of all this posturing? If I don't want her in the top 100, she won't be in the top 100. It doesn't matter if you consider me shameless. It doesn't matter if you want to say that this is unfair. Since the rules allow for this, I will drop my rank and kick her out of the ranking."
It didn't matter how long they waited. If he didn't want her in the ranking, she wouldn't be able to stay in it. Even if she stopped her challenge, he could simply drop his rank and challenge her to kick her out.
Su Yu smiled, "You're right. In all honesty, I admire your shamelessness a lot. But it's the anniversary day today. Are you not willing to wait even a few extra days?"
Di Feng coldly said, "Since you have picked today, I'll go along with your wish."
Su Yu was still smiling. But this was no longer the usual fake smile. Rather, he was smiling from the depth of his heart as he said, "Di Feng, we have never fought before, right?"
Di Feng did not answer.
"How about this? Let's have a match to the death. Both of us are top 100 students. Any other type of match would be too boring. Let's fight to the death. My teacher isn't around, but it doesn't matter. I already had him sign the waiver for me before he left. If you agree, we can do it immediately."
Su Yu took out a piece of paper and said, "I'm serious. With this, we can solve things once and for all. I am sick of you. And you are sick of being forced to stay in the same realm to block my progress. Why don't we end it all today?"
Di Feng's eyes were cold. He looked at Zhou Pingsheng, who was standing in the crowd, and said, "Teacher, I am willing to fight Su Yu to the death."
He was also willing to fight to the death.
Su Yu smiled. All the invisible shackles that had been binding him all along seemed to have disappeared. Di Feng had claimed that with him around, Wu Jia would not be allowed to stay in the ranking. What else was there to say?
Zhou Pingsheng frowned. Was Di Feng Su Yu's match? But this was indeed a good opportunity to get rid of Su Yu. They could openly end Su Yu without breaking any rules. But...he could feel that Di Feng was still slightly weaker than Su Yu.
He gazed at Di Feng and Su Yu. After a long while, he said, "Fine. Di Feng, come here. I have something to tell you..."
He beckoned at Di Feng, who immediately walked over.
The two walked away from the crowd. When they were finally alone, Zhou Pingsheng's eyes flickered with hesitation before he took out a case, "Take this. There is a Materialization Pill inside. Get in the ring and enter the Skysoar Realm before killing him."
"Teacher..." Di Feng was unwilling. He wanted to kill Su Yu as a Mental Tempering Stage student.
"Fool!" Zhou Pingsheng chided, "Let go of that pathetic ego of yours. He is the strongest Mental Tempering Stage student. He is already at the Infinite Strength Realm. His offensive strength is comparable to that of a Skysoar. There is an 80 percent chance you won't be able to defeat him. Only by materializing your willpower and pushing your characters into the next tier would you be able to kill him."
After saying that, he took another case out and said, "This is an Acupoint Break Pill. Only use this when you have absolutely no choice. This pill will destroy all your acupoints to give you a one-time burst of strength. Cultural researchers might not care about physical cultivation, but it is still not a good idea to just destroy your acupoints for no reason.
"This is a profound-grade cultural weapon. Take it as well. You can use it the moment you enter the Skysoar Realm. It has no element, so it doesn't have high compatibility with you. But it also won't reject you. It is stronger than your current cultural weapon."
"..."
One could see that Zhou Pingsheng was not holding back from all these expensive items he was taking out. If Di Feng could enter the Skysoar Realm, he wouldn't be weak. No matter what, he was still a genius student. The ordinary Skysoars outside the academy couldn't be compared to him. Even if Su Yu was strong enough to kill some random Skysoars outside the academy, he might not be able to kill a Skysoar with Di Feng's level of talent.
Di Feng gnashed his teeth and accepted the items from his teacher. He placed the cultural weapon in his sea of willpower. He still couldn't use it now, but that wouldn't be an issue after he became a Skysoar.
Zhou Pingsheng glanced at the distant Su Yu. He still felt uneasy. After a thought, he took another item out and said, "This is a talisman capable of releasing a single attack of a ninth-stage Skysoar. If you really can't defeat him...use everything you have to deal him a fatal blow. You will be seriously injured as well, but don't worry. I will spend everything I have to help you with recovery. In fact, as long as you can kill Su Yu, you won't need to worry about being abandoned by the faction."
Di Feng gnashed his teeth and accepted the talisman as well.
His teacher was right. If he could kill Su Yu, it didn't matter if he would seriously injure himself. The single character faction would not abandon him or they would fully lose the confidence of their members.
If they were willing to abandon even someone who had performed a meritorious deed for the faction, who else would be willing to work for them?
A talisman containing an attack of a ninth-stage Skysoar. This was an extremely expensive talisman.
With this, Zhou Pingsheng stopped worrying. He said, "Of course, only use this talisman if you have no other option. After all, using something like this can't be good for our reputation."
"I understand." Di Feng nodded. Killing Su Yu with a talisman was an act of stretching the rules really thin. Others could very easily use that as an excuse to attack them.
"Good. You can leave now."
Di Feng said nothing else and walked away.
