Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 306: The Storm in the Top 100 (1)

Chapter 306: The Storm in the Top 100 (1)

The referee arrived.

As usual, the referee reminded the two, “The loser must remember to pay the registration fee of 10 merit points later. The cut from these fees is the only source of income for us referees. Don’t run off right after the fight. Don’t forget to pay up after losing.”

“…”

The tense atmosphere turned somewhat odd.

Su Yu also had an odd look in his eyes. This referee…was quite a money-minded person. Yang Sha was also somewhat speechless. He couldn’t even be bothered to say anything to the referee.

The referee did not mind. He smiled and said, “Both of you already know the rules so I won’t waste everyone’s time. You may start.”

Immediately after, Yang Sha’s gaze landed on Su Yu’s mouth as he stood cautiously, ready to move aside at a moment’s notice.

He was not completely oblivious to Su Yu. He knew that Su Yu could consume blood essence to unleash the combat power of the Infinite Strength Realm.

Su Yu smiled. With his hands clasped behind him, he took a step forward and his body flickered.

Yang Sha’s expression changed.

The world around him started changing.

Illusion!

His willpower erupted, but an intense killing intent rushed into his mind, causing his sea of willpower to grow unstable. With a yell, Yang Sha summoned his cultural weapon.

Whoosh!

The illusion around him vanished. Yang Sha exhaled in relief. With his cultural weapon in hand, he felt much safer.

But immediately after, he heard the crowd exclaiming in shock.

A soft voice rang out beside his ear.

“Senior Brother, thank you for the match.”

Instantly, Su Yu’s cultural weapon appeared. He casually slapped Yang Sha’s back with the weapon.

A massive force was unleashed upon Yang Sha’s body.

Boom!

Yang Sha’s head spun and he coughed a mouthful of blood. When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a confusing sight.

There was a…student standing in front of him.

The student stared at him in stupefaction before hurriedly moving away from him.

When Yang Sha turned his head, he was faced with the ring. Standing within the ring was an expressionless Su Yu. He looked incomparably confident and carefree.

It was as though he was a replica of Bai Feng when he first appeared in Nanyuan and killed a fourth-stage Skysoar with indifference.

That day, Bai Feng was boundlessly confident and carefree.

Today, Su Yu was the same.

“Strong!”

Many expressions within the crowd changed. He was very strong. He had won way too easily.

Yang Sha might be weaker than proper top 100 students, but he was a seventh-stage Great Strength and peak Mental Tempering Stage cultivator. No matter what, he shouldn’t have been defeated so easily.

And yet that had happened.

Su Yu had won easily. He had merely activated his Divine Characters before casually slapping his opponent with his cultural weapon to win. Not even his clothes had suffered any damage yet Yang Sha had already been defeated.

“Thank you for the match.”

In the ring, Su Yu cupped his hands in greeting. His white outfit was white as snow, and it gently fluttered to the breeze. The eyes of some girls turned bright.

Also in the crowd was Zhou Hui, the senior sister who had welcomed Su Yu into the academy. She said in excitement, “Do you see that? That’s the new student I guided back then! He’s very strong and handsome! Wow, he wasn’t this handsome when he was first here!”

In her eyes, even Yang Sha was an existence far above her. But someone like that had been defeated by Su Yu without breaking a sweat.

“He’s actually this strong?”

Wu Lan looked completely dispirited.

“Yang Sha is truly useless.”

What a piece of trash. How could he be defeated so easily? Beside her, Lin Qing’s face changed several times before eventually settling on a solemn expression. Were all the new students in this batch so strong?

She didn’t feel that way previously. After all, Wu Lan was so weak—cough, cough. One couldn’t blame Lin Qing for thinking that. After all, Wu Lan was very arrogant. Whenever someone asked her about the strength of her batch, she would give some incredibly unreliable answers.

According to her, Su Yu was about as strong as her. Zheng Yunhui and the others were nothing special either. And everyone else was garbage. That was why Lin Qing had the impression that this batch wasn’t that special.

But the “nothing special” Zheng Yunhui had defeated Wang Peng with one strike.

The “similar with Wu Lan” Su Yu had defeated Yang Sha in the blink of an eye.

Was this Wu Lan’s definition of nothing special?

Lin Qing stole a glance at Wu Lan and resisted the urge to curse. What a misleading girl!

Was Wu Lan aware that the so-called piece of trash Yang Sha was someone who had challenged her before? Exactly, she was the one Yang Sha had picked for his top 100 challenge. Although she had won, that had been a difficult victory. They had fought for about five or six minutes before she could win.Th/e most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0velbj)n(.)co/m

“Lan…I’m really…speechless.”

Lin Qing was feeling very sullen. She would be an absolute fool if she continued believing Wu Lan’s words.

The expressions of Huang Qifeng and the others also changed.

Even Wan Mingze and company appeared astonished. Sure, they expected Su Yu to win, but they had not expected him to win so easily. He had won without even revealing his true strength.

Yang Sha was truly a tad bit too useless. Everyone already knew that Su Yu had a Divine Character capable of generating illusions. Why would he still fall for that?

Fortunately, Zheng Yunhui was there to give a fair assessment, “Su Yu’s willpower seems to have grown stronger. That is a second tier Divine Character. Yang Sha’s willpower…is ordinary. His Divine Characters aren’t too strong either. Just breaking free of the illusion is an impressive accomplishment for him.”

There was no way he could completely block Su Yu’s illusion. The only way to avoid Su Yu’s illusion was by having strong enough willpower to break the attack before it was fully activated. Otherwise, one wouldn’t be able to avoid being affected by the illusion.

“It’s a pity. He’s so weak that he didn’t even manage to force Su Yu to use his blood essence ability.”

Zheng Yunhui shook his head and curled his lips. This opponent was too weak to make Su Yu reveal anything. He had basically wasted his time watching that match for no reason.

And when Zheng Yunhui looked at Su Yu who was standing there in his fluttering white clothes while the schoolgirls were going crazy over him, Zheng Yunhui even started to feel jealous.

Were those girls blind? He was the one ranked 91st! Su Yu had merely occupied an empty position in the ranking! All those people had been pretty unfriendly to him when he won his fight previously. Why was the opposite happening to Su Yu?

“Pretty boy! Pretentious hypocrite! Scum!”

Zheng Yunhui started cursing.

Wan Mingze, Hu Qiusheng, Zheng Hong, and the others looked at him. He rolled his eyes and said, “What are you looking at? Just look at that face of his. Look at how he’s putting both hands on his back and allowing his clothes to flutter about. Isn’t he a pretentious hypocrite?”

When Wan Mingze heard that, he instinctively pressed down on his clothes that were also fluttering about due to the wind.

Meanwhile, Hu Qiusheng expressionlessly moved his hands from his back.

Zheng Hong walked away, deciding to stay far away from this madman.

That fellow had essentially offended at least 30 percent of the researchers and students in the academy with those words. Was he not aware of that?

Zheng Yunhui was the pretentious hypocrite here!

In fact, as far as they were concerned, Su Yu was the same species as them. Meanwhile, Zheng Yunhui was a brute, a barbarian, a stain to this refined education institution.

Just look at Su Yu. Before the fight, he would cup his hands in greeting. After the fight, he would cup his hands again and thank his opponent for the match. That was how a true refined person should act. That was how a true cultural researcher should act!

Ignoring the crowd around the ring, Su Yu looked at the referee calmly. It was as though he wasn’t the one who had just fought a match.

The referee first looked at Su Yu before looking at the stupefied Yang Sha and loudly declared, “Su Yu is the victor. Since there are less than 100 people in the ranking, Su Yu will occupy the 99th place. He does not enjoy the immunity of three days since he has not challenged an existing student in the ranking. After winning three challenges or defeating an existing student in the ranking, he would enjoy the three days of immunity. Do you have any objections, Su Yu?”

Before Su Yu could speak, the referee said, “Even if you have, keep it to yourself. It doesn’t matter.”

“…”

Su Yu was completely speechless. He wanted to ask this middle-aged referee if he was having a midlife crisis. Was the referee intentionally angering him?

The referee ignored him and looked at the crowd, “Are you guys going to keep fighting? If not, disperse. Yang Sha, don’t forget to pay up.”

Yang Sha’s mood turned even worse.

He had finally recovered from his shock. He looked at Su Yu with a complicated expression. Had he been defeated just like that? His defeat had been too miserable.

He had performed even worse than Chen Qi against Su Yu. At the very least, Su Yu had used a drop of Infinite Strength blood essence against Chen Qi. But against him, it was as though Su Yu was fighting a child.

“Senior Brother!”

While Yang Sha was wallowing in sorrow, Lin Yao appeared beside him and softly said, “What’s the big deal about a defeat? We are not sore losers! Bro-Su Yu is really strong. This is only a temporary defeat. It is nothing. We will catch up to him one day!”

Yang Sha was still feeling extremely discouraged. He had nothing to say.

Lin Yao comforted him, “It’s fine, Senior Brother. I was defeated by him without even a proper fight. My defeat was much more miserable. But I eventually understood something. This is an era where there will always be someone above us, someone for us to pursue.”

“…”

Yang Sha glared at Lin Yao. Those words were not comforting at all! In fact, he felt even worse after hearing those words. There would always be someone above them? What the hell was this fellow talking about? Why couldn’t they be the ones above others instead?

Then again, his junior brother’s words seemed to be working as his mood had indeed improved considerably. That was especially true when he recalled his junior brother’s defeat. Lin Yao had been defeated without even fighting Su Yu. And during that day, Su Yu had even humiliated Lin Yao in front of a large crowd. And Lin Yao was able to endure all that. At the very least, he had not been humiliated by Su Yu today.

“I lost.” Yang Sha sighed and looked at Su Yu, “I’ll transfer 100 merit points to you later. You may have defeated me, but you have still insulted my teacher! I…”

He wanted to leave Su Yu some warning, but he was too ashamed to finish his words.

Su Yu smiled, “I never intended to insult anyone. If you think I have insulted Teacher Liu, then I offer my apologies to him. However, as a Skysoar, he actually lowers himself to make things difficult for a mere student. One must always conduct oneself with dignity. If he wants respect, he should learn to respect himself. Since he is placing himself at the level of a student, then my words wouldn’t really count as disrespect, right?”

Yang Sha’s face turned red. Among the student, a girl yelled, “Well said!”

“Yeah!”

“A teaching assistant is lowering himself to make things difficult for a student yet the student can’t even say anything about it?”

“Junior Brother Su Yu is too polite. There is really nothing to apologize about.”

“Junior Brother Su Yu is such a gentle person.”

“He’s handsome too.”

“…”

The students started talking one after another. The mood was warm. He was strong, talented, young, handsome, polite, and reasonable. He was simply too lovable! Maybe one of them was going to even ask him if he was looking for a girlfriend.

Not far away.

Huang Qifeng frowned unhappily. He could accept Su Yu’s victory. But what was this? Yang Sha was the loser. Shouldn’t the public pity the weak? Why was the situation completely reversed here? Yang Sha hadn’t said anything too offensive, right?

“He’s now a top 100 student.”

Huang Qifeng looked at Su Yu while his expression changed repeatedly. He couldn’t help but to admit that Su Yu was actually quite talented. It had only been two months. If Su Yu was given more time, wouldn’t he grow even stronger?

At that thought, Huang Qifeng started walking toward the ring. His entourage hurriedly followed him while the students in front of them hurriedly made way upon sensing the sharp aura Huang Qifeng was emanating.

An expert had arrived.

When they turned around, they saw that it was Huang Qifeng. The look in many eyes changed. They knew that Huang Qifeng was the person who had seriously injured Wu Jia. He had actually arrived.

Huang Qifeng’s name was also on the crystal stele. He occupied the 71st place in the ranking. His position had improved compared to last month.

Su Yu also noticed the movement in the crowd. Before long, he saw Huang Qifeng. He also knew who Huang Qifeng was.

Standing high in the ring, Su Yu overlooked Huang Qifeng from above. Huang Qifeng was not used to having someone look at him from high above, so he jumped into the ring as well.

In the ring, he faced Su Yu and asked, “You’re Su Yu?”

Su Yu said nothing.

“Wu Jia’s junior brother? Bai Feng’s student? Your senior sister is too weak. Not only is she weak, but she wasn’t even smart enough to know her place. I told her to concede, but she insisted on fighting. In the end, she was seriously injured. Even now, she has yet to recover. You are right. One should conduct oneself with dignity. Alas, she is incapable of doing so.”

“Huang Qifeng?” The smile on Su Yu’s face vanished. “Are you in the ring to challenge me?”

“Challenge?” Huang Qifeng laughed, “You got lucky and managed to enter the bottom of the ranking. But I am in the 71st place. You are unworthy of being challenged by me. Of course, you have still managed to enter the Top 100 Ranking. Therefore, you have earned the qualification to speak with me. Forget about the ranking challenge. Are you interested in a private spar with me? I can give you a chance to face me.”
