Chapter 540: I've Decided, Kill Di Feng! (4)
More and more people had gathered around the ring.
Standing beside the ring was a silent Su Yu.
Would they accept his challenge? He was unsure. If his challenge was accepted, this...would be his very first kill in the academy.
Yes. First kill. Even when he fought Huang Qifeng and the others, he had not killed. He had left those people with injuries they could recover from. He had ever only killed those from the Myriad Race Cult.
But from now on, he might need to add the single character faction members to the list of people he would kill.
A short while later, Di Feng returned. With a snort, he tossed a contract out and said, "Sign it."
Cries of alarm rang out around them. A fight to the death during the anniversary day. And this was also the first match to the death in the academy in recent years.
Su Yu took the contract and signed it without any hesitation. He then tossed his copy of the contract over and said, "Sign it."
Di Feng did not waste any time and signed the contract as well. Zhao Ming was the referee waiting in the ring. Multiple elders had also arrived.
Elder Sun stepped forth and coldly said, "Zhao Ming, leave the ring. You're a member of the Source Soul Research Center. You're not the suitable referee for this."
Zhao Ming smiled, "It's a fight to the death. Why does it matter who's the referee?"
"Since this is a fight to the death, who knows if you'll do something to interfere?" Elder Sun scanned the crowd before saying, "We don't need a referee for this match. There are so many elders here. The two combatants only need to enter the ring and fight until one of them is dead."
Some people frowned after hearing that. At this time, Old Nie arrived. Zhao Li had arrived as well. Even Chen Yong had arrived. One expert after another arrived.
Wu Yuehua scolded, "Su Yu, what are you doing? He is clearly going to break through into the Skysoar Realm during the match. There is no need to fight someone so shameless."
Zhao Li frowned and said, "Both of you are genius students of the academy. Is there a need to fight to the death? I say we should allow for surrender as well..."
He was worried.
Wu Yuehua was right. Di Feng was clearly planning to break through in the ring before killing Su Yu.
Su Yu might be strong, but he was not necessarily a match for a genius Skysoar.
But Su Yu smiled and said, "The contracts have been signed. Just follow Elder Sun's suggestion."
He looked at the crowd and said, "Thank you, teachers, for your concern. But I hope none of you will interfere in this match. A match to the death is a very big deal in the academy. I believe Principal Wan is also watching. Anyone trying to interfere might end up dead. Thus, don't throw your lives away for me."
Many hearts skipped a beat.
Zheng Yuming was the perfect example of what would happen.
Chen Yong looked at Su Yu as his expression changed repeatedly. He then transmitted his voice over, "If you don't have the confidence to win, just give up. Killing one person won't change anything. There is no need to take this gamble."
Su Yu shook his head and smiled without saying anything. Killing one person was never his goal. Di Feng? A mere stray dog. He only wanted to gain more fame. He wanted to establish his dominance. He wanted to show Great Ming that they were going to welcome a genius, not a weakling.
He wasn't going to stop at killing Di Feng. He was going to walk a path of slaughter all the way to Great Ming.
He had nothing in Great Ming. Only through fame would he be able to gain a footing in Great Ming.
Sorry...Martial Uncle.
Su Yu had decided. Today, he would kill Di Feng. He could no longer stay in the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy. With the single character faction around, nothing would change.
He leaped into the ring.
With a smile, he said to Di Feng, "Come on. I'll give you the time to break through into the Skysoar Realm."
Those words shocked the various observers.
This was crazy. Di Feng frowned. But he still entered the ring with a snort. Inside the ring, he wore a deep frown as he gazed at Su Yu. Was Su Yu planning to launch a surprise attack while he was breaking through?
Su Yu had both his hands clasped behind him as he said, "I'm giving you time to break through. Don't waste it."
Killing a mere Mental Tempering Stage student was not enough for him to gain the level of fame he wanted.
Killing a Skysoar would be better.
A genius Skysoar.
And he would deliver the genius Skysoar an absolute defeat. This would be the day he spread the name Su Yu all over the Human Realm.
"You're asking for this!"
Di Feng clenched his teeth and swallowed a pill. While looking at Su Yu's cautiously, his willpower started erupting.
Boom!
His sea of willpower shook and a layer of golden radiance appeared around his body. His characters also started materializing. With the materialization of his willpower and characters, all three of his characters advanced to the second tier.
Meanwhile, Su Yu was watching him with an amused expression. Di Feng was furious. Was this person completely looking down on him? He had entered the Skysoar Realm through willpower cultivation. Su Yu was too arrogant. He would regret this.
The others were shocked to see this. Di Feng had indeed broken through. And Su Yu had done nothing about it. Had he gone mad?
After about four minutes, Su Yu asked, "Are you done?"
"You—"
Su Yu interrupted, "Looks like you're done."
Right after saying that, his body flickered.
Boom!
As Su Yu swung his saber, a burst of saber qi swept forth with an unstoppable momentum. A spear appeared in Di Feng's hand. That was a profound-grade cultural weapon. With a roar, he stabbed at the incoming saber.
His willpower surged.
His characters appeared.
After his advancement, his characters and willpower had grown considerably.
However, his willpower was ineffective against Su Yu.
Sure, Su Yu had yet to advance, but he had opened 106 apertures and tempered his sea of willpower countless times. Furthermore, he also had multiple second-tier characters. Apart from the level of his cultivation, he was better than Di Feng in every aspect.
"Too weak."
Su Yu was completely unaffected by the willpower attacks. It wasn't that he was immune, but the attacks were so weak that they couldn't even do anything to him.
Crash!
Sky Sundering Saber.
That was an attack with the might of several hundred acupoints. Di Feng was forced to take several steps back. The skin on his hand had torn from the impact. As a result, both his hands were dyed red with blood.
Di Feng was shocked.
"Number one student in the ranking?"
"Heh."
The saber was swung yet again. With a rumble, Di Feng was sent flying out of the ring. One of his arms had burst apart from the impact of the second attack.
"You're not worthy."
The saber was too fast.
Unimaginably fast.
Su Yu leaped off the ring and swung his saber for the third time. A cyclone of source qi formed in the air. With yet another rumble, Di Feng was sent flying while coughing blood. He hurriedly swallowed the Acupoint Break Pill in his panic. Instantly, all his acupoints erupted in strength.
"Even with pills, you are still a piece of trash."
Carried by source qi, Su Yu walked on air as he swung his saber yet another time.
Crash!
Even after detonating all his acupoints, Di Feng was still not a match for Su Yu. He roared in an attempt to counterattack, but he was sent spinning in the air by Su Yu's slash.
"No..."
Impossible!
Di Feng could not believe this. Nobody could believe this. Was this really a fight between a Mental Tempering Stage and a Skysoar?
No!
Su Yu needed to be at least three stages above Di Feng for the fight to be this one-sided. The expressions of all the single character faction members changed. That was too strong. Su Yu had the combat strength of a fourth or fifth-stage Skysoar.
Su Yu, someone with 320 acupoints, had finally showcased his strength in front of all these people.
"You're so weak yet you keep provoking me again and again. Time for you to die."
After saying that, Su Yu swung his saber again. A rumble accompanied that swing. With a furious roar, Di Feng took out a talisman. But right that moment, a small hammer appeared noiselessly and struck his sea of willpower.
That was an incomparably powerful blow. That attack was powered by 106 apertures. It was not something Di Feng could withstand. He started bleeding from his seven orifices while his consciousness grew hazy.
Not far away, Zhou Pingsheng's expression changed as he exclaimed, "You..."
But before he could finish his words, Su Yu's saber arrived.
"I am going to kill him. Feel free to stop me."
Su Yu spoke loudly.
Feel free to stop him.
He wanted to see if any of them dared to interfere in an official match.
Unsurprisingly, none of them dared to make a move.
"Trash."
Boom!
Bang!
A saber descended, the air cracked, source qi erupted, and with a rumble, a body burst apart.
Chunks of flesh flew everywhere.
Su Yu nonchalantly plucked a talisman from the air and smiled. This was a powerful talisman. But could Di Feng even use it in front of him?
Di Feng had been killed.
Even until the very end, he hadn't been able to do anything. He had been completely suppressed. And the fight had lasted less than 30 seconds. He had been completely dominated by Su Yu.
When Su Yu landed on the ground, his white outfit was still perfectly clean.
He scanned the crowd with a carefree smile and said, "That was fun. But it's a pity he was still too weak. Single character faction? Genius? Heh..."
That sneer of his had insulted numerous individuals. Today, Su Yu was incomparably overbearing. Number one student in the ranking, a Skysoar, and an Acupoint Break Pill.
So what?
With one saber, Su Yu, a mere Mental Tempering Stage student, had slain Di Feng.
There was no world-shaking battle. There was only a one-sided slaughter.
A deafening silence descended. Eventually, a furious bellow rang out, "Su Yu!"
Zhou Pingsheng's eyes were red with fury. He glared at Su Yu. As of this moment, he had decided that Su Yu must die. He would not spare Su Yu. The stronger Su Yu was, the more he needed to die.
He was too strong.
Terrifyingly strong.
Even back then, when Liu Wenyan was killing Skysoars as a fourth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator, he had not done it so easily.
Su Yu smiled with contempt. Zhou Pingsheng could do nothing here apart from standing there angrily.
And Su Yu did not intend to stop at just killing Di Feng. He would kill Zhou Pingsheng as well.
As he scanned the crowd, all the students started avoiding his gaze. Su Yu...the first student to kill a student in recent years, and also the first student who had killed a number one student ever.
Number one in the ranking? This position had been reduced to a joke. The so-called number one student had been reduced into a clown who had been killed by a Mental Tempering Stage cultivator after advancing into the Skysoar Realm.
