Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 541: Breaking Your Backbone (1)

He raised the volume of his voice and said, "I only have one question. Do you dare to fight me?"

Would they dare to face him?

He was only a Mental Tempering Stage student.

But he was akin to Bai Feng, someone who had killed Cloudbreach cultivators at the Skysoar Realm.

Su Yu had accomplished a similar feat today. He was only at the Mental Tempering Stage, but he had the courage to challenge and kill Skysoars.

Su Yu was viewing them with contempt and disdain. He was sneering at them.

Silence enveloped the area. Nobody said anything.

Elder Sun, Elder Yu, Elder Li...

All the single character faction elders had ashen expressions, but they were completely helpless. After killing Di Feng so easily, who else would dare to fight Su Yu?

Su Yu had defeated someone at the early Skysoar Realm before challenging all early Skysoars to fight to the death. But how many Skysoars would dare to fight him to the death after the previous fight?

Not even third-stage Skysoars were confident they could easily kill Di Feng. Su Yu had killed Di Feng way too easily. And it seemed like he hadn\'t even used his full strength. That was more than slapping their faces. That was stepping on their faces on the ground.

Su Yu remained in the ring.

With a carefree smile, he said, "It\'s the anniversary day. Let\'s celebrate it with a few matches to the death. I will be waiting here until the end of the day. Feel free to enter the ring. Also, I won\'t limit the challengers to only the single character faction members. You can get any help you want. I will accept all challenges. I don\'t mind fighting consecutive matches either."

Su Yu laughed in a carefree manner. Right that moment, with a rumble, a wave of source qi erupted from Su Yu\'s body.

Fifth-stage Infinite Strength Realm.

Su Yu laughed heartily.

The expressions of the students and teachers around the ring changed. Was this kid still a human? He had instantly broken through into the fifth stage.

Su Yu had grown even stronger than he was just a moment ago.

That was not the end of his. His battle character stirred, and with a rumble, his battle intent soared.

A baleful aura shrouded his body. A second-tier character.

A saber appeared around him, emanating a thick saber aura. Another second-tier character.

Lightning crackled around him. Yet another second-tier character.

One second-tier character after another erupted.

Lightning, kill, battle, blood, saber, break, and deceit. Of his eight characters, apart from the fire character, all the others had reached the second tier.

The crowd was alarmed. His incredibly dense willpower roiled and erupted.

Su Yu laughed wantonly, viewing everyone around him with contempt. He was only at the Mental Tempering Stage, but he could kill Skysoars. He was only at the Mental Tempering Stage, but he could look at Skysoars with disdain.

"Su Yu!" Someone shouted coldly, "Don\'t get too arrogant..."

"Shut up!" Su Yu coldly said, "I know you. A fifth-stage Skysoar. Get in the ring. Let\'s fight to the death. Do you dare?"

Once again, the surrounding students were shocked.

A fifth-stage Skysoar.

Many of them looked at the Skysoar in question. That was a genius from the single character faction. Back then, he was also a top 100 student.

A lot of people then looked at the single character faction elders with odd expressions. That was a genius teaching assistant. A fifth-stage Skysoar.

Su Yu was only a fifth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator. Someone like that had challenged the genius teaching assistant to fight until the death. Would the Skysoar dare to accept the challenge?

The Skysoar\'s expression changed. He gnashed his teeth in anger, but he said nothing else.

Did he dare?

Nope.

This wasn\'t a spar. If this was a spar, he would have agreed immediately. But this was a fight to the death. How strong was Su Yu? Even now, he still wasn\'t sure.

Su Yu had not exposed much of his strength during the previous fight. But he had shown his second-tier characters, and there were too many of them. From that, one could imagine how powerful his willpower was to support the growth of eight second-tier characters.

Genius!

Freak!

This student was so terrifying that a teaching assistant like him did not have the courage to fight the student to the death. It had been challenging for him to reach his current level of cultivation. He didn\'t want to risk his life against a madman.

"Hahaha!"

Su Yu laughed, shook his head, and sat down before saying, "I\'ll be waiting here. On this anniversary day, I am presenting everyone here with a great show. We don\'t want you to get too bored during a day of celebration, right?"

At this moment, he received numerous voice transmissions.

"Su Yu, enough!"

"Are you trying to escalate the conflict?"

"Su Yu, they won\'t spare you!"

"Su Yu..."

Numerous voices rang out in his ears. Some were threats, some were pieces of advice, and some were words of concern.

But today, Su Yu had decided to go all the way instead of doing things in a half-measured manner. He was going to wait in the ring until midnight. He wanted to turn the anniversary day into the day the single character faction turned into a joke.

After Di Feng\'s death, no other Skysoar dared to accept the challenge. They could die from that.

After a while, seeing that Su Yu was not moving, Elder Sun coldly said, "Su Yu, since you\'re so arrogant, why don\'t you extend your challenges to ninth-stage Skysoars as well?"

"Hahaha!"

Su Yu roared with laughter. The surrounding students were dumbstruck. Did the single character faction not care about their reputation anymore? Ninth-stage Skysoar? Against a fifth-stage Infinite Strength student? Was Elder Sun listening to himself?

Elder Sun said nothing else. He no longer cared about face. If he could kill Su Yu, he was willing to send even Mountainseas. Sure, they might be humiliated in the short term, but people would slowly forget it after Su Yu was dead.

While Su Yu was roaring with laughter, someone slowly stepped into the ring.

It was Chen Yong. He looked exhausted. Regret and sorrow could be seen on his face.

He gazed at Su Yu with a forced smile before turning to face Elder Sun. With a soft voice, he said, "Elder Sun, forget about ninth-stage Skysoars. That\'s 13 stages above Su Yu. Sure, the multiple character faction is filled with talented geniuses. But 13 stages are too much. How about this? You\'re a seventh-stage Mountainsea. Why don\'t you step in the ring with me for a fight to the death? I\'m only a Cloudbreach, so you don\'t have to worry..."

Boom!

That drove the entire academy crazy. Was this real? Had he gone crazy? What was the multiple character faction trying to do?

Chen Yong ignored the reaction and continued looking at Elder Sun with a smile on his face. When he saw that Elder Sun\'s expression had changed, he looked at Su Yu again. When his gaze landed on Su Yu, the look in his eyes turned incomparably complicated.

Was he...tired of this? That was understandable. Su Yu was still very young. Even Chen Yong himself was already out of patience. Perhaps...Su Yu should really leave for a better future.

Today, Su Yu fought alone in the ring. As his martial uncle, Chen Yong felt completely helpless. Thus, if Su Yu wanted to leave, Chen Yong was willing to wish him the best of luck.

Chen Yong and Su Yu looked at each other in silence. No words were exchanged. Su Yu only gave his martial uncle a slight bow to express his gratitude.

A bitter smile appeared on Chen Yong\'s face. He turned to face Sun Xiang again and said, "Elder Sun, if the single character faction is so useless, you might as well disband."

Sun Xiang\'s face changed again. Killing Skysoar cultivators at the Mental Tempering Stage. Killing Cloudbreach cultivators at the Skysoar Realm. Challenging Mountainseas as a Cloudbreach. Was the multiple character faction really so strong? He refused to believe that.

He really wanted to give it a try. But for some reason, his heart was throbbing uneasily. He kept looking at Chen Yong, but Chen Yong merely stood there with a smile.

Meanwhile, more and more people had arrived. Even more elders had appeared. This matter had escalated from a fight between students to a fight involving an elder.

"Martial Uncle, just leave the ring."

Finally, Su Yu spoke. With a smile, he said, "Martial Uncle, unless it\'s a special warzone set up by Xia Family, Mountainseas won\'t die so easily. Thank you, but there is no need for this, Martial Uncle."

Great Xia would not allow their Mountainseas to perish for no good reason. Thus, Mountainseas would generally not have a say unless they were out in the wilderness. The tradition of matches to the death has never included those at the Mountainsea Realm. It wouldn\'t be a problem for a Cloudbreach to participate in something like this, though.

Chen Yong gave Su Yu a long gaze before sighing. He then smiled and said, "I was playing a joke with Elder Sun. I was testing Elder Sun\'s knowledge of the rules. I was worried that the single character faction might have forgotten even the basic rules."

"Martial Uncle is correct." Su Yu smiled, "The single character faction is as good as crippled. Anyone with an eye can see this. What a bunch of garbage. From their elders to their students, they are incapable of anything apart from internal conflicts. They can only scheme and do nothing else."

Chen Yong smiled and cupped his hands at Elder Sun before saying, "That was a joke, Elder Sun. Mountainseas are not allowed to fight in matches to the death. But perhaps we can give it a try with the Cloudbreach cultivators in your faction some other day."

He then walked off the ring.

Elder Sun\'s face was unsightly. Yu Hong looked incomparably furious. She said, "Chen Yong, you are challenging the dignity of an elder."

While walking off the ring, Chen Yong looked at Yu Hong and smiled, "Don\'t misunderstand, Elder Yu. As the head manager of the books depository, I technically have the same status as an elder. A small joke like this can\'t be considered a challenge. Of course, if Elder Yu chooses to be sensitive, you are free to think what you want."

Yu Hong coldly said, "Chen Yong, since you have stayed in concealment for so many years, you should keep at it lest you suffer the same fate as some other people."

Staring at Yu Hong, Chen Yong slowly walked toward her.

Soon, he stopped before her and softly said, "I know who you\'re talking about. Yu Hong, I\'ll remember you."

Yu Hong\'s pupils shrank. At this moment, there was no smile or fury on Chen Yong\'s face. He appeared completely serene.

Chen Yong said nothing else and returned to Wu Jia. While gently rubbing Wu Jia\'s head, he looked at Su Yu again. After a while, he smiled and sighed inwardly.
