Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 188: Numerous Thoughts (3)

Chapter 188: Numerous Thoughts (3)

By the time that announcement was made, Su Yu was already at his limit. He started considering using the kill character. This character had only been tamed last night and it was still in a damaged state.

But at this point, he had no choice. This was too embarrassing. He couldn’t accept losing to a girl. He was still a hot-blooded young man, so it was understandable that he couldn’t accept this. His third Divine Character started stirring.

Next, faint traces of a baleful aura started coming out of his body. The other students couldn’t sense it, but the elders and the Skysoar teachers present all looked at Su Yu.

Liu Hong was astonished. Was this a new Divine Character? Or a new ability? It felt quite powerful! Once more, Su Yu stepped forward.

Liu Hong hurriedly said, “Su Yu, 39 meters…”

This was the very first time Su Yu had walked ahead of Xia Chan.? But at that point, he reached his limit. He was pushed back several steps with beads of sweat on his forehead. He had really reached his limit for real.

Unless he merged the three Divine Characters, he wouldn’t be able to go further. If he was still in Nanyuan, he might really try it. But he didn’t dare. The more he learned, the more timid he seemed to have become.

“Xia Chan, 40 meters.”

At that moment, a faint layer of golden light appeared around Xia Chan’s body. With a roar, she took another heavy step forward. She staggered, but she continued pushing herself.

“41 meters…” Th/e most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0velbj)n(.)co/m

“Wan Mingze, 40 meters.”

One after another, the freaks started pushing themselves. Wan Mingze’s hair started fluttering about as he rushed forth, but when he reached 40 meters, he started trembling. At this point, everyone knew that this test was near its end.

Apart from Xia Chan and Wan Mingze, nobody had managed to break the record of 40 meters. It was also at that moment that Su Yu stopped forcing himself and withdrew at 39 meters.

He did not appear discouraged. It was normal for his willpower to be weaker than theirs. They were truly strong. They might even be at the peak of the Mental Tempering Stage already. And they might also have more Divine Characters formed than him.

…

Senior class.

Both Xia Chan and Wan Mingze heaved a breath of relief to see Su Yu withdrawing. His name had been echoing in their ears again and again. They were really afraid that they would really be surpassed by him here. That would be too embarrassing. No matter what, they were both freaks.

Both of them were also near their limits. Wan Mingze was about to withdraw when another figure appeared beside him.

That was a chubby youth. While eating, the youth turned his head to look at Wan Mingze and grinned, “Go on. Keep going. I have been waiting behind you. Why are you stopping?”

Wan Mingze’s eyes widened. Impossible! How…could this fellow be better than him? As far as he was concerned, his sole opponent was Xia Chan.

Liu Hong was also shocked, but he still announced, “Jia Mingzhen, 41 meters.”

The young fatty smiled and walked up to Xia Chan. When he reached her, he wiped his oily hand on her sleeve and said, “I thought those from the Xia Family are incredible, but…hehe, how boring.”

The little fatty ignored the murderous look in Xia Chan’s eyes and walked two meters beyond Xia Chan. There, his face turned slightly red with exertion as he continued walking while gasping for breath. After a few more steps, he finally stopped.

“Jia Mingzhen, 45 meters.”

Liu Hong was greatly shocked. Just where did these mysterious youths come from? Had they been near the peak Mental Tempering Stage even before entering the academy? Or perhaps they were already at the peak Mental Tempering Stage?

Apart from Jia Mingzhen, there were four other mysterious students. Three of them did good by going further than 30 meters. The last one had stopped around 25 meters. There were five of them. And all five were incredibly powerful.

“No wonder those elders had suddenly accepted students this year. These fellows are no weaker than those freaks. And there’s also Su Yu this year…”

Liu Hong was alarmed. Why were there so many freaks this year? If Su Yu and the five mysterious students were included, there were fourteen of them! No, there were more! His gaze landed on Xia Huyou who was standing there leisurely. Was the prefect’s son really so useless?

Why did that fatty look like he was only going through the motions instead of doing his best? In that case, this batch might have 15 freaks in it! What exactly was a freak? A freak was a student with the potential to reach the Skysoar Realm in three years.

Did this signify that the academy would produce more than ten new Skysoar cultivators in the next three years?

Despite his shock, Liu Hong was able to quickly calm down and said, “For the senior class, Jia Mingzhen placed first for the Mark of Culture test. Xia Chan placed second while Wan Mingze placed third.”

“For the intermediate class, Su Yu placed first.”

“For the junior class, Sun Fei placed first.”

Next, Liu Hong started listing the final placings of the students of all three classes. For the senior class, neither Xia Chan or Jia Mingzhen was the one occupying the first place. It was Hu Qiusheng. He was actually the top scorer for the culture text. As for the Mark of Culture test, he had also improved considerably. Thus, he obtained first place with his overall result.

Jia Mingzhen had been eating and sleeping during the culture test so his overall result was merely average.

As for Su Yu, he had obtained 130 marks for the culture test. This time, he had walked 39 meters for 120 marks. In total, he had obtained 250 marks for the monthly examination. He placed first in his class.

The student who had placed second in the intermediate class was Wang Yun with 190 total marks. He had obtained 40 marks for the second test for walking 4 more meters than his original result. In truth, this was actually quite a good improvement.

While the results were being announced, Su Yu glanced at Lin Yao and his heart thumped. Would…Lin Yao run off? Why did Lin Yao look scared?

Lin Yao was no fool. After witnessing Su Yu’s performance, he realized that he might have fallen for a trick. He was really considering if he really wanted to proceed with the challenge.

While he was thinking, Su Yu suddenly said, “Teacher, the top three students are allowed to challenge senior class students. Student Lin Yao from the senior class has challenged me previously and insulted me. Now that I’ve entered the Mental Tempering Stage, I would like to challenge him to a fair fight.”

Liu Hong nonchalantly said, “Lin Yao is not a bottom ten student, so this will be up to him.”

Su Yu said, “If Lin Yao is unwilling, I can drop this matter. I only need him to publicly apologize to me. I am not an unforgiving person. But he had insulted and bullied me previously for not being at the Mental Tempering Stage. If he apologizes to me, I will not challenge him anymore.”

Su Yu’s voice was loud. The other students were not surprised to learn that he had reached the Mental Tempering Stage. After all, he had been able to walk quite far ahead during the test.

They were happy for him, but they did not forget to shout, “Apologize to him!”

Lin Yao’s expression changed repeatedly.

He was more and more convinced that he had been tricked. He gloomily said, “Su Yu, nobody bullied you. You were the one who had proposed the challenge…”

“Boo!”

The students started booing at him. Even Xia Chan forgot her anger toward Jia Mingzhen and angrily rebuked, “Piece of trash. What an embarrassment to the senior class! Why don’t you have the guts to own up to what you did? Su Yu is only an intermediate class student. As a senior class student, you can’t reject the challenge of an intermediate class student. Why bother explaining yourself?”

She was already in a bad mood due to Jia Mingzhen, so she instantly lost her temper when she heard Lin Yao’s words. She felt like Lin Yao was single handedly destroying the senior class’ reputation.

Even Wan Mingze was unhappy. He frowned and coldly said, “Since an agreement has been made, you need to honor it. Only a coward will back off from a challenge like this. You’re afraid of the strong and only dare to bully the weak. You are so scared that you don’t dare to accept the challenge just because he has entered the Mental Tempering Stage. If you’re really so cowardly, you are no longer qualified to be our schoolmate. You should just quit the academy.”

The two held nothing back, disregarding both Lin Yao and Liu Hong. They did not fear Liu Hong. Nor did they fear Zhou Mingren. Lin Yao was simply too embarrassing.

A ruckus erupted in the senior class. All their students looked at Lin Yao. Some were frowning and some were disdainful. What a piece of trash. High-tier evaluation? Was a student like that worth such an evaluation? Just because Su Yu had reached the Mental Tempering Stage, he became so scared that he even denied what he did before?

Lin Yao was furious. He finally realized that he might have really been tricked. But this time, he was already backed into a corner. He clenched his teeth and looked at Su Yu. Fine. If he ended up losing, he would only lose 300 merit points. That bastard Su Yu was a liar!

“Fine. I wanted to refuse since you’ve just reached the Mental Tempering Stage. But since you insist, we’ll see each other in a ring tomorrow.”

Su Yu’s eyes flickered. Tomorrow? He was ready to beat Lin Yao’s ass today. This fellow must have guessed something. That was why he was trying to drag it for one more day. Was he buying time to prepare his trump card?

But Su Yu had no fear. He said, “Ok. See you tomorrow.”

Lin Yao said nothing else and left. Damn it! That bastard Su Yu might have reached the Mental Tempering Stage long ago! This must be a trick!

“The monthly exam is over. If any other students wish to propose a challenge, feel free to see your instructor later.”

Liu Hong also left with his Mark of Culture.

A lot of variables had appeared. And the biggest variable of all was not Su Yu. It was Huang Yao and people like Jia Mingzhen. He kept feeling like a lot of schemes were brewing at the same time.

It was also very odd that an elder had suddenly appeared. Numerous possibilities rose in Liu Hong’s mind, but he still had no idea what was actually going on.
