Chapter 325: The Answer Lies In Books (3)

Xia Huyou stared at Su Yu in stupefaction. He had only planned to earn a few willpower texts for free. But this fellow was truly crazy. He was actually planning to get all the Mental Tempering Stage students to get free willpower texts from the single character faction? This guy was...too ruthless!

Su Yu suddenly said, "No, it would be too embarrassing if I do it for free. I should accept one merit point from each challenge. See how generous I am? Anyone can afford one merit point. They are basically buying a willpower text for only one merit point! It would be totally worth it! From tomorrow onward, I'll start accepting challenges. I reckon I can accept a few thousand challenges per day."

Su Yu seemed immensely pleased. Those students shouldn't have any issue affording one merit point to challenge him.

But he then frowned and said, "No, that would make me seem too weak. After all, a kind person is much easier to bully. I'll first fight a few matches for real and make an example out of the more impatient challengers before going ahead with my plan. I should know when to use the carrot and the stick. Only then would everyone revere and be grateful toward me. They wouldn't know to appreciate something they had obtained too easily."

Xia Huyou was completely dumbfounded. After a while, he asked, "Is your father a mayor or something?"

"What?"

"You're very good at politics. It almost feels like you're an old fox."

Xia Huyou stared at Su Yu in astonishment. What was up with this fellow? Sure, he knew all that as well, but he had learned all that through the education provided by his family. Was Su Yu born crafty?

Su Yu smiled, "This is merely a little trick. Just read more books. You can learn more from books. So tomorrow, I'll first demonstrate my strength and show everyone that I'm no pushover. After that, I can bestow my favor upon them.

"As for whether Zhou Mingren would honor his promise, that is unrelated to me. By the way, can I issue special missions in the black market? The moment Zhou Mingren reneges on the debt, I'll hire some people to create trouble, complain to the parents, to the academy, to the bureau..."

Xia Huyou was completely dumbstruck. This fellow was extremely gutsy!

"Su Yu, are you not afraid of offending—"

"Nonsense. I have already offended them. What choice do I have now?" He gloomily said, "I don't have the time to slowly deal with him. It isn't like he can directly attack me anyway. Why should I be afraid of him? If he sends someone stronger to challenge me, I can just admit defeat. What? Do you think I will fight to the death for the sake of saving face? Everyone probably thinks that I will fight on stubbornly like my senior sister, right? That is what I should do, right?"

"Yeah." Xia Huyou nodded.

That was what everyone believed, including Zhou Mingren. That was why he had promised such an attractive reward for defeating Su Yu. For a genius, every single defeat was a great humiliation.Investigate the source of this data, deeply rooted in n0v(lbin★

And with Su Yu's strength, there actually weren't that many students capable of defeating him in the academy. Thus, they believed that they wouldn't need to take out more than a few willpower texts for this promise.

Xia Huyou remained excited for a while before recovering. He looked at Su Yu and said, "Su Yu, you are too scummy. You're starting to even drag the Xia Family into your schemes. You sure are gutsy."

He had nearly neglected something. If the Xia Family got involved, then it would be a conflict between the Xia Family and the single character faction. Zhou Mingren would be too troubled to focus on targeting Su Yu.

With this one scheme, Su Yu was basically hitting multiple birds with one stone. Through this scheme, he was able to win the gratitude of the students, trouble the single character faction, and unleash the Xia Family against the single character faction, keeping them busy enough to leave him alone. This fellow no longer looked like a student. He looked more like an old fox.

Su Yu nonchalantly said, "If you're not interested, you are free to not participate. It's not like I need the Xia Family for my plan to work. Without the Xia Family, I can still work with Zheng Yunhui. Even if the Zheng Family can't collect from Zhou Mingren, the Zheng Family has never gotten along well with the cultural research academy. He would definitely be more than happy to spend some money to annoy the academy and tarnish their reputation."

Su Yu was completely indifferent, "It's not like I will earn a massive benefit from this. I don't really care if you don't want to do it. There are plenty of people out there not afraid of the single character faction. There are also the Nine Heavens Cultural Research Academy, the Martial Dragon Academy, or even the Martial Dragon Guards or the Devil Subduing Army."

Su Yu sneered and said, "My dad himself is a member of the Devil Subduing Army. I can simply get the Devil Subduing Army involved. I guarantee they will be more than happy to use this chance to make some money. I heard that they are getting more and more annoyed with cultural researchers, especially after Principal Wan brokered the armistice..."

Xia Huyou stared at Su Yu for a long while before asking, "Did you learn all that from books as well?"

Su Yu smiled and said nothing. Of course he learned some from books, but the biggest contributor was his smart brain. He had never been one to silently eat a loss since he was a child. Why would they provoke him? They should be rejoicing that he was leaving them alone before this!

Zhou Mingren might be strong and smart, but he occupied a different position from Su Yu. For him, reputation and prestige was more important. For Su Yu, he only cared about benefits. Face? Why the fuck would he care about losing face?

Su Yu thought to himself that if Zhou Mingren was willing to pay him 10,000 merit points, he would be willing to even do something like bring Bai Feng with him and kowtow to Zhou Mingren while calling Zhou Mingren teacher.

Thinking of that, Su Yu suddenly laughed. Meanwhile, Xia Huyou was staring at Su Yu speechlessly. This fellow...was a truly difficult opponent to have. He was talented, flexible, shameless, eloquent, and good at acting. He was simply a perfect hypocritical villain!

Every single freak out there was a prideful person. Su Yu...was also prideful. But his form of pride was rather different from the norm. He also had the craftiness of someone who had grown up in the streets.

Xia Huyou inhaled deeply and said, "Fine. I'll give it a try. How about this? 'll get an elder to gather them all in a meeting at the Heart Cultivating Pavilion. I will even forbid anyone who is not an elder from entering the building. That will keep them occupied for a few hours. By the time they find out, it will be too late."

Su Yu stared at Xia Huyou for a long while before saying, "So even elders need to follow your orders? Xia Huyou, don't tell me you're Marquis Xia's son."

"What bullshit are you saying?" Xia Huyou rolled his eyes, "I swear I'm not his son. If I'm his son, then I'm an animal and he's a pig. I'm not his grandson either. Don't even think about this. If I'm his grandson, I'll kill myself. I told you, I'm from a branch family. Why are you thinking so much?"

Su Yu laughed, but he was cursing inwardly.

Go fuck yourself! Since you have the guts to call Marquis Xia a pig, even if you're not Marquis Xia's son or grandson, you're definitely an important person in the Xia Family! Do I look stupid to you?
