Chapter 221: Everyone Has A Plan (1)
Senior class.
Su Yu was the first to arrive. He had just entered the senior class so he was aiming to keep a low profile. The moment he arrived, he sat down and focused on reading, acting like a good student.
Today, the usages of Divine Characters would be taught, so a lot of students were attending the class. It was very quiet inside the classroom. Only a few students familiar with each other would occasionally speak softly to each other.
The senior class was as cold as ever. While everyone was staying silent, someone stepped through the door. The newcomer went straight toward Su Yu.
Su Yu sensed a figure standing beside him. He raised his head to look at the newcomer. Nearby, when Wu Lan saw that it was Zheng Yunhui, she snorted and proceeded to ignore him. Generally, she would view those stronger than her as targets to surpass instead of showing them contempt.
Wu Lan had just finished snorting when Zheng Yunhui slammed his palm onto the table. A loud sound rang out, alarming the whole class.
"Su Yu." Zheng Yunhui furiously said, "Give it to me!"
Su Yu frowned and calmly said, "Student Zheng, what are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about!" Zheng Yunhui coldly said, "You're the first person to ever have the courage to take something belonging to me. Hand it over. Don't force me to make a move against you."
"This is a cultural research academy. Are you going to attack me openly?" Su Yu frowned, "Furthermore, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Cut the act." Zheng Yunhui said, "I spent 1,000 merit points to buy that thing. I paid for it! Are you going to take it from me just like that? Su Yu, do you really think I don't know about it?"
Su Yu's expression changed. Meanwhile, many other students still looked confused. What was happening between the two?
Xia Huyou, who was busy chatting with another student, heard those words and his expression instantly changed. 1,000 merit points! He suddenly thought of something. Not long ago, Su Yu had looked for him to ask about the lost Skybreak Technique. During his fight against Chen Qi, Su Yu had used the Skybreak Technique.
In truth, Xia Huyou had started to suspect Su Yu since then. And sure enough, the real owner of the technique had appeared. Su Yu had really found the lost Skybreak Technique and Zheng Yunhui had learned of it.
"Su Yu...is truly too lucky!"
Xia Huyou muttered to himself. Immediately after, helplessness sank in. Su Yu wanted to challenge the single character faction while Xia Huyou wanted to find an opportunity to start a gambling operation around Su Yu’s fights. But Su Yu was obviously not Zheng Yunhui's match.n-(OVεlb1n
Zheng Yunhui was a seventh-stage Great Strength cultivator! His physical cultivation was even stronger than Xia Chan’s. She was still two acupoints away from that level. Previously when Xia Huyou told Su Yu to challenge Xia Chan, he was merely joking. At the very least, he had not expected Su Yu to challenge such an opponent this early.
While thinking about all that, Xia Huyou rushed over. With a hearty laugh, he tried to calm the situation, "Friends, calm down. You can always talk it out. There is no need to make a fuss and make things difficult for both of you."
Su Yu calmly said, "I didn't provoke him. He was the one who had slammed his palm on my table and started scolding me out of nowhere. Zheng Yunhui, do you think I'm a pushover that can be easily bullied?"
"Bully?" Zheng Yunhui coldly said, "I disdain bullying a weakling. Since you have taken what's mine, just return it. I won't lower myself to do anything to you. Otherwise, I won't hold anything back."
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Su Yu, don't waste this chance I'm giving you. You understand what I'm talking about. You know very well what you used against Chen Qi. Do you want me to say everything clearly?"
It was still better to not talk about an item from the black market openly. But many in the class were starting to realize what he was talking about. Black market...Zheng Yunhui...Su Yu...defeating Chen Qi...
These people were no fools. Before long, they recalled something they had heard about. Skybreak Technique! A willpower text written by a Mountainsea. The looks in many eyes turned odd. Su Yu sure was lucky. Did he pick up the lost willpower text somewhere?
No wonder Zheng Yunhui was flipping out. He had paid 1,000 merit points for that. That was by no means a small sum of money. However, not everyone in the class was aware of what was happening.
Wu Lan was one of them. When she saw how loud Zheng Yunhui was speaking, she was offended. She said, "Zheng Yunhui, if you want to shout, go shout somewhere else. Don't shout near me."
Zheng Yunhui glanced at her and coldly said, "Shut your mouth. This is unrelated to you. Wu Lan, don't think that you're a big deal just because you have a Mountainsea senior in your family. My grandpa is the principal of a war academy. So what? If you're not strong enough, learn to shut your mouth."
"You..."
Zheng Yunhui did not let her finish her words. His aura surged, his source qi erupted, and his willpower pressed forth as he said, "Are you going to challenge me? I will accept the challenge. Wu Lan, do you think I won't dare to beat you up so badly you would be bedridden for five months?"
He sneered, "This is a private matter between me and Su Yu. It has nothing to do with you. A weakling like you can only take part in something like this after defeating people like Lin Yao and Chen Qi, but not now. A weakling is unworthy of participating in the disputes between the strong."
Wu Lan's face was flushed red from anger. She was furious.
At that moment, Su Yu released his third-stage Great Strength Realm aura and barely counteracted Zheng Yunhui's suppression. Since Wu Lan wasn't even in the Great Strength Realm yet, she was naturally not Zheng Yunhui's match.
"Zheng Yunhui, we're all classmates. A true genius would not run from the strong and only bully the weak."
"Hehe." Zheng Yunhui did not bother paying Wu Lan any additional attention. He sneered and said, "I can't be bothered to waste my time on weaklings. Su Yu, you defeated Chen Qi, right? You can unleash the strength of an Infinite Strength, right? Do you think I'll be afraid of that?"
Their words gave Wu Lan the urge to hide inside a hole on the ground. She had been completely overlooked. They viewed her as a weakling, someone unworthy of even speaking. Her face was flushed red with anger. She felt humiliated and embarrassed.
"I want to grow stronger!"
Wu Lan roared inwardly. She wanted to reach the Great Strength Realm as well.
Zheng Yunhui was stronger than her. Su Yu was stronger than her. Under Zheng Yunhui's suppression, she couldn't even move. However, Su Yu was actually able to counteract that suppression. The gap between her and Su Yu was growing larger and larger.
Back at Nanyuan, both Su Yu and her were still eighth-stage Source Opening cultivators. She raised her head and looked at Zheng Yunhui before looking at Su Yu. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she was, the redder her face became. She looked like a cooked lobster from how red her face was.
Zheng Yunhui glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and was alarmed. She wouldn't be angered to death, right? Breath, damn it! Breath! If she was really angered to death here, he would be in deep shit!
Wu Lan was furious, but not far away, Lin Yao was furious as well. People like Lin Yao and Chen Qi? What was the meaning of that? Damn that Zheng Yunhui! His words were truly infuriating.
But when Lin Yao saw how Wu Lan couldn't even move under Zheng Yunhui's suppression, he could only sit there helplessly. He couldn't afford to provoke Zheng Yunhui as he wasn't a match too.
"Seventh-stage Great Strength Realm and high willpower..."
Xia Chan and a few others had solemn expressions. Zheng Yunhui was already strong enough to challenge the Top 100 Ranking.
If his Divine Character was strong as well, then he would really have the strength to stand against those in the Top 100 Ranking.
Xia Chan, Wan Mingze, and the other freaks were prideful and confident. But even they weren't confident they would be able to defeat Zheng Yunhui. In terms of physical cultivation, they were all weaker than Zheng Yunhui. He was one of the only two students in the class that had reached the seventh-stage Great Strength Realm.
The other student was Zhao Shiji. But since Zhao Shiji's willpower was weaker, Xia Chan and the others had the confidence to defeat him. Zheng Yunhui was different. His willpower was very strong as well, making him a very difficult opponent. He could very well be the current strongest combatant in the class.
...
At the corner of the classroom.
Jia Mingzhen and the other fake students were enjoying the show.
"Su Yu took his stuff...don't tell me it's the missing Skybreak Technique."
"That should be the case. I sensed some of Old Fart Qiu's aura on Su Yu's body a while ago. I was confused, but now, I understand why."
The so-called Old Fart Qiu was the Mountainsea expert from the Nine Heavens Cultural Research academy, the person who had written the Skybreak Technique willpower text.
They conversed while enjoying the show, "Would Su Yu return the text?"
"No way. If it's me, I wouldn't do it too. Who would return something the black market lost?"
"True. But this kid from Zheng Family won't let this rest. Well, it looks like a great show is about to unfold."
"That might not be the case. Su Yu is too weak to put up a good fight..."
The elder glanced at Su Yu. He didn't dare to perform a deeper scan on Su Yu as they still needed to hide their identity. But something still felt odd as he said, "Guys, look at Su Yu. Has he grown? Why do I feel like the source qi around him is much denser than before?"
"He broke through again?"
The others looked at Su Yu. They did not send their willpower over and only looked with their eyes. After a while, Jia Mingzhen said doubtfully, "I think someone sealed his source qi undulations, deliberately hiding his true strength. This aura...feels similar to Old Huang's aura. Has this kid been to the source grotto?"
"In that case, has he really broken through into the fourth-stage Great Strength Realm?"
"..."
These elders had sharp eyes. Even without using their willpower, they were able to reach a rather accurate conclusion. Su Yu might have really broken through.
"With his new strength and blood essence abilities, he might really be able to put up a fight. But this kid from the Zheng Family is very strong. Su Yu is probably still not his match."
"Yeah."
That was the conclusion they reached. Even with his blood essence abilities, how long could Su Yu keep the abilities active? Based on what they knew, Su Yu wouldn't be able to last longer than a minute. And it was unlikely that he would be able to defeat the grandson of the Great Xia War Academy's principal in only a minute.
Slowly, Su Yu's expression turned unsightly.
"Zheng Yunhui, don't push it too far! Even if I really have that thing, it's something I obtained myself. Are you going to rob it from me?"
"Rob?" Zheng Yunhui sneered, "You have the nerve to say that? That thing has always been mine! Su Yu, cut the crap. Return it to me! You're very confident, right? You can even defeat Chen Qi, right? I'm challenging you to a match. If I win, return it to me. If I lose, I will forget about this."
Su Yu calmly said, "My apologies, but I am not interested in fighting you. It's pointless."
"Coward!" Zheng Yunhui sneered, "You're just scared of losing. You're a coward!"
Su Yu ignored the provocation and continued reading his book.
Zheng Yunhui shouted, "Coward. Do you think you can escape me? Even if you refuse now, I can still cripple you the day you enter the Top 100 Ranking. I'll make sure to let you suffer the same fate as your senior sister. You'll stay in your bed for months!"
Bang!
Su Yu slammed his palm into his table and looked up with a sinister gaze. A short while later, calm returned to his face.
"Zheng Yunhui, class is starting. There are things we can talk about in private. Why do you insist on putting on a show for everyone else?"
Zheng Yunhui snorted coldly.
"Fine. I'll be waiting for this talk. Su Yu, don't even dream of running off with my stuff. I am not a piece of trash like Lin Yao. I am better than him in both background and strength. Normally, I can't be bothered to waste my time on you. Don't think that you're a big deal because of that."
Su Yu clenched his fists. His face fell. Nobody said anything. Some looked at Su Yu with pity. They were sure that he wouldn't be Zheng Yunhui's match. Only when the instructor arrived did Zheng Yunhui return to his seat. The classroom was so silent it felt oppressive. Su Yu maintained his unsightly expression.
Near Su Yu, Wu Lan even noticed him trembling. He did not look like he was trembling from fear. He looked more like he was trembling from anger. Upon seeing how furious Su Yu was, Wu Lan suddenly felt less angry.
When the class was over, Wu Lan suddenly said to Su Yu, "When I break through into the Great Strength Realm, I'll reach the third-stage in one day too. At that time, I'll beat up that bastard. Su Yu, I'll let you know that I'm stronger than you!"
She then rushed away. Clearly, she was rushing away to grow strong.
Su Yu was speechless. If she wanted to prove that she was stronger than him, why was she aiming to beat Zheng Yunhui up instead of him? What an odd logic.
Su Yu lifted his schoolbag and silently walked away.
Behind him, Zheng Yunhui said, "Su Yu, this isn't over yet. You need to return my stuff. Don't force me to challenge Wu Jia as well. As a student who has been in the academy for a few years, would she refuse the challenge of a new student like me? You can act like a turtle, but would your senior sister act like a turtle as well?"
"You dare?" Su Yu turned around with fury in his eyes and said, "Zheng Yunhui, you have successfully angered me."
"Hehe." Zheng Yunhui appeared indifferent, "You have to return my stuff. If you refuse, fight me. If I lose, I will naturally let this slide since I'm not your match. Su Yu, does a coward like you have the guts to accept my challenge?"
Su Yu clenched his fists tightly. Right that moment, Xia Huyou pulled him aside and dragged him away.
While walking away, he said, "Don't let him provoke you! He's a seventh-stage Great Strength cultivator. His willpower is strong too. You're not his match. If you accept his challenge, you would lose both the Skybreak Technique and the fight. What's the point? Just keep a low profile for a period of time..."
Su Yu did not say anything. He had a sinister expression.
This was Xia Huyou's first time seeing such anger in Su Yu. he said, "You are growing quickly. Although he's growing quickly too, he's only relying on his background. Su Yu, be patient..."
"I understand." Su Yu said, "Thank you. You don't need to console me. After today, I will find a chance to repay him."
After leaving those words behind, Su Yu left.

But Su Yu was obviously not Zheng Yunhui's match.n-OVlb1nZheng Yunhui was a seventh-stage Great Strength cultivator! His physical cultivation was even stronger than Xia Chan's. She was still two acupoints away from that level. Previously when Xia Huyou told Su Yu to challenge Xia Chan, he was merely joking. At the very least, he had not expected Su Yu to challenge such an opponent this early.While thinking about all that, Xia Huyou rushed over. With a hearty laugh, he tried to calm the situation, "Friends, calm down. You can always talk it out. There is no need to make a fuss and make things difficult for both of you."Su Yu calmly said, "I didn't provoke him. He was the one who had slammed his palm on my table and started scolding me out of nowhere. Zheng Yunhui, do you think I'm a pushover that can be easily bullied?""Bully?" Zheng Yunhui coldly said, "I disdain bullying a weakling. Since you have taken what's mine, just return it. I won't lower myself to do anything to you. Otherwise, I won't hold anything back." "I don't know what you're talking about...""Su Yu, don't waste this chance I'm giving you. You understand what I'm talking about. You know very well what you used against Chen Qi. Do you want me to say everything clearly?"It was still better to not talk about an item from the black market openly. But many in the class were starting to realize what he was talking about. Black market...Zheng Yunhui...Su Yu...defeating Chen Qi...These people were no fools. Before long, they recalled something they had heard about. Skybreak Technique! A willpower text written by a Mountainsea. The looks in many eyes turned odd. Su Yu sure was lucky. Did he pick up the lost willpower text somewhere?No wonder Zheng Yunhui was flipping out. He had paid 1,000 merit points for that. That was by no means a small sum of money. However, not everyone in the class was aware of what was happening.Wu Lan was one of them. When she saw how loud Zheng Yunhui was speaking, she was offended. She said, "Zheng Yunhui, if you want to shout, go shout somewhere else. Don't shout near me."Zheng Yunhui glanced at her and coldly said, "Shut your mouth. This is unrelated to you. Wu Lan, don't think that you're a big deal just because you have a Mountainsea senior in your family. My grandpa is the principal of a war academy. So what? If you're not strong enough, learn to shut your mouth." "You..."Zheng Yunhui did not let her finish her words. His aura surged, his source qi erupted, and his willpower pressed forth as he said, "Are you going to challenge me? I will accept the challenge. Wu Lan, do you think I won't dare to beat you up so badly you would be bedridden for five months?" He sneered, "This is a private matter between me and Su Yu. It has nothing to do with you. A weakling like you can only take part in something like this after defeating people like Lin Yao and Chen Qi, but not now. A weakling is unworthy of participating in the disputes between the strong."Wu Lan's face was flushed red from anger. She was furious.At that moment, Su Yu released his third-stage Great Strength Realm aura and barely counteracted Zheng Yunhui's suppression. Since Wu Lan wasn't even in the Great Strength Realm yet, she was naturally not Zheng Yunhui's match."Zheng Yunhui, we're all classmates. A true genius would not run from the strong and only bully the weak.""Hehe." Zheng Yunhui did not bother paying Wu Lan any additional attention. He sneered and said, "I can't be bothered to waste my time on weaklings. Su Yu, you defeated Chen Qi, right? You can unleash the strength of an Infinite Strength, right? Do you think I'll be afraid of that?" Their words gave Wu Lan the urge to hide inside a hole on the ground. She had been completely overlooked. They viewed her as a weakling, someone unworthy of even speaking. Her face was flushed red with anger. She felt humiliated and embarrassed."I want to grow stronger!"Wu Lan roared inwardly. She wanted to reach the Great Strength Realm as well.Zheng Yunhui was stronger than her. Su Yu was stronger than her. Under Zheng Yunhui's suppression, she couldn't even move. However, Su Yu was actually able to counteract that suppression. The gap between her and Su Yu was growing larger and larger.Back at Nanyuan, both Su Yu and her were still eighth-stage Source Opening cultivators. She raised her head and looked at Zheng Yunhui before looking at Su Yu. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she was, the redder her face became. She looked like a cooked lobster from how red her face was.Zheng Yunhui glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and was alarmed. She wouldn't be angered to death, right? Breath, damn it! Breath! If she was really angered to death here, he would be in deep shit!Wu Lan was furious, but not far away, Lin Yao was furious as well. People like Lin Yao and Chen Qi? What was the meaning of that? Damn that Zheng Yunhui! His words were truly infuriating.But when Lin Yao saw how Wu Lan couldn't even move under Zheng Yunhui's suppression, he could only sit there helplessly. He couldn't afford to provoke Zheng Yunhui as he wasn't a match too."Seventh-stage Great Strength Realm and high willpower..."Xia Chan and a few others had solemn expressions. Zheng Yunhui was already strong enough to challenge the Top 100 Ranking.If his Divine Character was strong as well, then he would really have the strength to stand against those in the Top 100 Ranking.Xia Chan, Wan Mingze, and the other freaks were prideful and confident. But even they weren't confident they would be able to defeat Zheng Yunhui. In terms of physical cultivation, they were all weaker than Zheng Yunhui. He was one of the only two students in the class that had reached the seventh-stage Great Strength Realm.The other student was Zhao Shiji. But since Zhao Shiji's willpower was weaker, Xia Chan and the others had the confidence to defeat him. Zheng Yunhui was different. His willpower was very strong as well, making him a very difficult opponent. He could very well be the current strongest combatant in the class....At the corner of the classroom.Jia Mingzhen and the other fake students were enjoying the show."Su Yu took his stuff...don't tell me it's the missing Skybreak Technique.""That should be the case. I sensed some of Old Fart Qiu's aura on Su Yu's body a while ago. I was confused, but now, I understand why."The so-called Old Fart Qiu was the Mountainsea expert from the Nine Heavens Cultural Research academy, the person who had written the Skybreak Technique willpower text.They conversed while enjoying the show, "Would Su Yu return the text?""No way. If it's me, I wouldn't do it too. Who would return something the black market lost?""True. But this kid from Zheng Family won't let this rest. Well, it looks like a great show is about to unfold.""That might not be the case. Su Yu is too weak to put up a good fight..."The elder glanced at Su Yu. He didn't dare to perform a deeper scan on Su Yu as they still needed to hide their identity. But something still felt odd as he said, "Guys, look at Su Yu. Has he grown? Why do I feel like the source qi around him is much denser than before?""He broke through again?"The others looked at Su Yu. They did not send their willpower over and only looked with their eyes. After a while, Jia Mingzhen said doubtfully, "I think someone sealed his source qi undulations, deliberately hiding his true strength. This aura...feels similar to Old Huang's aura. Has this kid been to the source grotto?""In that case, has he really broken through into the fourth-stage Great Strength Realm?""..."These elders had sharp eyes. Even without using their willpower, they were able to reach a rather accurate conclusion. Su Yu might have really broken through."With his new strength and blood essence abilities, he might really be able to put up a fight. But this kid from the Zheng Family is very strong. Su Yu is probably still not his match.""Yeah."That was the conclusion they reached. Even with his blood essence abilities, how long could Su Yu keep the abilities active? Based on what they knew, Su Yu wouldn't be able to last longer than a minute. And it was unlikely that he would be able to defeat the grandson of the Great Xia War Academy's principal in only a minute.Slowly, Su Yu's expression turned unsightly."Zheng Yunhui, don't push it too far! Even if I really have that thing, it's something I obtained myself. Are you going to rob it from me?""Rob?" Zheng Yunhui sneered, "You have the nerve to say that? That thing has always been mine! Su Yu, cut the crap. Return it to me! You're very confident, right? You can even defeat Chen Qi, right? I'm challenging you to a match. If I win, return it to me. If I lose, I will forget about this." Su Yu calmly said, "My apologies, but I am not interested in fighting you. It's pointless.""Coward!" Zheng Yunhui sneered, "You're just scared of losing. You're a coward!"Su Yu ignored the provocation and continued reading his book.Zheng Yunhui shouted, "Coward. Do you think you can escape me? Even if you refuse now, I can still cripple you the day you enter the Top 100 Ranking. I'll make sure to let you suffer the same fate as your senior sister. You'll stay in your bed for months!"Bang!Su Yu slammed his palm into his table and looked up with a sinister gaze. A short while later, calm returned to his face."Zheng Yunhui, class is starting. There are things we can talk about in private. Why do you insist on putting on a show for everyone else?"Zheng Yunhui snorted coldly."Fine. I'll be waiting for this talk. Su Yu, don't even dream of running off with my stuff. I am not a piece of trash like Lin Yao. I am better than him in both background and strength. Normally, I can't be bothered to waste my time on you. Don't think that you're a big deal because of that."Su Yu clenched his fists. His face fell. Nobody said anything. Some looked at Su Yu with pity. They were sure that he wouldn't be Zheng Yunhui's match. Only when the instructor arrived did Zheng Yunhui return to his seat. The classroom was so silent it felt oppressive. Su Yu maintained his unsightly expression.Near Su Yu, Wu Lan even noticed him trembling. He did not look like he was trembling from fear. He looked more like he was trembling from anger. Upon seeing how furious Su Yu was, Wu Lan suddenly felt less angry.When the class was over, Wu Lan suddenly said to Su Yu, "When I break through into the Great Strength Realm, I'll reach the third-stage in one day too. At that time, I'll beat up that bastard. Su Yu, I'll let you know that I'm stronger than you!"She then rushed away. Clearly, she was rushing away to grow strong.Su Yu was speechless. If she wanted to prove that she was stronger than him, why was she aiming to beat Zheng Yunhui up instead of him? What an odd logic.Su Yu lifted his schoolbag and silently walked away.Behind him, Zheng Yunhui said, "Su Yu, this isn't over yet. You need to return my stuff. Don't force me to challenge Wu Jia as well. As a student who has been in the academy for a few years, would she refuse the challenge of a new student like me? You can act like a turtle, but would your senior sister act like a turtle as well?" "You dare?" Su Yu turned around with fury in his eyes and said, "Zheng Yunhui, you have successfully angered me.""Hehe." Zheng Yunhui appeared indifferent, "You have to return my stuff. If you refuse, fight me. If I lose, I will naturally let this slide since I'm not your match. Su Yu, does a coward like you have the guts to accept my challenge?"Su Yu clenched his fists tightly. Right that moment, Xia Huyou pulled him aside and dragged him away.While walking away, he said, "Don't let him provoke you! He's a seventh-stage Great Strength cultivator. His willpower is strong too. You're not his match. If you accept his challenge, you would lose both the Skybreak Technique and the fight. What's the point? Just keep a low profile for a period of time..."Su Yu did not say anything. He had a sinister expression.This was Xia Huyou's first time seeing such anger in Su Yu. he said, "You are growing quickly. Although he's growing quickly too, he's only relying on his background. Su Yu, be patient...""I understand." Su Yu said, "Thank you. You don't need to console me. After today, I will find a chance to repay him."After leaving those words behind, Su Yu left.
