Chapter 328: Start The Show (1)
6th of October.
A storm was brewing in the academy.
Early in the morning, a certain piece of news started spreading all over the academy.
"Have you heard? Su Yu is out of seclusion. He's going to start accepting challenges today."
"Do you know who's challenging him? Su Yu is not weak. Just look at Huang Qifeng. A second-stage Infinite Strength and peak Mental Tempering Stage cultivator was reduced to such a miserable state. Who would still dare to challenge him?"
"Yeah. Are they tired of living?"
"Su Yu is no pushover. Not everyone can push him around."
All over the academy, people were talking about Su Yu.
He was not a weakling. Huang Qifeng was strong, right? So what? Even now, he was still unconscious. He would probably need a few months to recover from his willpower injury.
Huang Qifeng's actual combat strength should be somewhere around the fifth-stage Infinite Strength Realm. Someone like him had suffered such a miserable fate in Su Yu's hands. Nobody below the top 50 would actually be Su Yu's match.
Only the top 30 students were probably the ones with an actual chance of defeating Su Yu. All the top 30 students were as strong as late-stage Infinite Strength cultivators. But that was not absolute due to the existence of the Mental Tempering Stage.
If one encountered a Divine Character that was a perfect counter to one's ability, one might still end up defeated even with a stronger cultivation. The Top 100 Ranking of the cultural research academy was not as straightforward as the ranking in the war academy. Apart from Divine Characters, there were also talismans and tamed beasts to be taken into consideration.Trace back the roots of this material to n0v$lbin
While the crowd was talking about the upcoming challenges.
Wu Lan was walking behind her sister with her head lowered dispiritedly. Her usual arrogance was nowhere to be seen.
"Are you feeling discouraged?"
Wu Qi smiled. When the nearby students saw her, they hurriedly greeted her before moving away. Wu Qi was also known as the great demon in the academy. Thus, a lot of people were terrified of her.
Wu Lan gloomily said, "No. Elder Sister, I just don't understand why such a stupid Divine Character has appeared in my sea of willpower."
"Stupid?" Wu Qi laughed, "Say that after you actually form a stupid character."
"Is this not stupid?" Wu Lan sullenly said, "Why is it the weak character? I want the strong character!"
This was too embarrassing. Any character would be better than this.
Wu Qi was getting tired of speaking with her. She asked, "How's the ability?"
"It can weaken others."
"So handsome!"
Many girls started screaming madly.
Su Yu could be seen walking through the crowd. He was still clad in his white outfit. With a gentle smile on his face, he nodded at the students making way for him. After a few days of research without rest, he was slightly pale. But the paleness gave him an even more scholarly look, making him even more pleasing to look at.
How refined. This was how a cultural researcher should look!
"Thank you."
Su Yu thanked a girl who had just moved aside for him. Step by step, he advanced, completely calm and composed, his white robe flowing behind him. Finally, he arrived before the ring.
He stepped into the ring and turned around to face the crowd. With a smile, he said, "My apologies. This is my first time in the top 100 so I was unaware of the rules. I have been helping my teacher with research so I have not been keeping up with the events of the academy.
"I only found out that some seniors have challenged me when I left the lab last night. According to the academy rules, I should accept these challenges. But before accepting the challenge, I need to make one thing clear. This is only a conflict between me and a certain group of people. Everyone else is only involved in this for profit. There is no need for us to get into a quarrel as well. I don't mind accepting any challenges as long as the rules are followed.
"As for those intending to use me as a stepping stone to earn the favor of some people, my apologies. I will not be lenient when it comes to enemies. Thus, think carefully before entering the ring."
The crowd sank into silence.
Someone from the crowd shouted, "Well said! Junior Brother Su Yu, do your best! Show them how strong you are!"
Yes. The person who had spoken was a female student. She was one of the older students whose cultivation was going nowhere and had given up on going further. Thus, she didn’t really care if she would offend someone with her words.
Very few people dared to voice their agreement to her words. The single character faction was still the dominant faction in the academy with a large number of experts. Thus, many were still worried about offending them.
Apart from the single character faction members, there were also some top 100 students who were thinking of challenging Su Yu for the reward.
The referee today was still Zhao Ming. But there were two referees today. The other referee was the young man who had tried to persuade Su Yu against fighting Huang Qifeng previously. Su Yu did not know who that person was. He had also forgotten to ask Chen Yong about that. But he could feel that this person was rather friendly toward him.
Looking at Su Yu, Zhao Ming grinned and said, "Su Yu, you have a lot of challengers. Just pick one."
Su Yu asked, "Teacher, will I get 10 merit points for each victory?"
"Of course."
"Teacher, are there any students who were previously between the 30th place to the 70th place among my challengers?"
"Let me check..." Zhao Ming looked at the jade talisman in his hand and smiled, "Yes. There are three. Wang He, previously ranked 38th, currently ranked 75th. Hu Yu, previously ranked 44th, currently ranked 77th. And Huang Yi, previously ranked 48th, currently ranked 81st."
All three of them were top 50 students. Yet they had dropped in ranks during the past two days. It was clear what their goal was. Some of the people in the crowd jeered in displeasure.
The expressions of several people in the crowd changed, but they remained silent. A willpower text written by a peak Mountainsea cultivator was on the line here. Since the other students were unwilling to lose face for something like a willpower text, they were more than happy to give it a try.
As for those below the top 50, none of them had bothered dropping in ranking. It was pointless since they might not necessarily be Su Yu's match. Only the top 50 students would have some confidence in defeating Su Yu.
