Chapter 367: The Strong Su Yu (2)
"Alright." Su Yu nodded, "I'll be leaving first, Senior Sister. I might not be around even during your fight. I will probably head over after your fight. Be careful. Don't force yourself. If you can't win, just concede defeat. Or you can cough some blood and collapse on the ground..."
"Yeah, yeah, got it." Wu Jia complained impatiently, "Why are you being as naggy as Teacher?"
Su Yu smiled and left without saying anything else. Looking at Su Yu's departing back, Wu Jia sighed.
She felt slightly bad. She was so weak. She couldn't even defeat her junior brother anymore. How embarrassing. She even needed her junior brother to strike back against her bullies. She went back upstairs and entered her room. After changing into a beautiful outfit, she walked out.
Chen Yong was reading in the living room. When he saw Wu Jia, he asked in astonishment, "You're going out?"
"Alright."
"Be careful. Don't leave the academy. Ignore all provocations."
"Alright."
Wu Jia nodded obediently. Inwardly, she was intending to ignore her teacher and fight those annoying bastards today!
...
Su Yu went to Xia Huyou and made a simple arrangement with him. Then, he returned to class and started attending his lessons for the day. Very few senior class students were present that day.
Wan Mingze and the others were not present. It was unknown if they were busy cultivating or challenging the top 100. Su Yu looked like he was focusing on the class, but in truth, his mind was completely not on the class. How was his senior sister doing?
Eventually, some of the students started fiddling with their communicators under the tables. Many of them had suddenly received a message. In front of the classroom, the old teacher was still droning on and on.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the window from outside impatiently. Ignoring the old teacher, the person shouted, "Class Monitor, the single character faction challenged Senior Sister Wu Jia again! She was on the verge of being beaten to death!"
The newcomer was an intermediate class student. Su Yu knew him, but they weren't too close to each other. Su Yu abruptly stood up with a thick killing intent.
He gave the old teacher a bow as he grimly said, "Teacher, I wish to apply for a leave."
The old teacher sighed. The single character faction again. How troublesome. Wu Jia...she had already been seriously injured previously. Even now, she had yet to recover from her willpower injury. Why were they targeting her again?
He nodded and said, "Go take a look. Su Yu, don't do anything rash. The academy will not allow any student to die during spars."
"Thank you, Teacher."
Su Yu nodded and rushed out of the classroom. More and more people had arrived outside.
One of them anxiously said, "Class Monitor, Senior Sister Wu is on the verge of being beaten to death. Those bastards are too cruel..."
Su Yu's source qi erupted as he picked up the pace. He was the one who had told Wu Jia to put up an act, but was that senior sister of his really someone who would let go of her pride and concede defeat so easily? He was unsure.
After leaving the block, he saw that many people were heading toward the area housing the challenge rings.
One of them saw Su Yu and hollered, "Junior Brother Su, go advise Wu Jia to concede defeat. If not, she might really end up crippled."
Su Yu did not say anything and ran even faster.
With so many people heading toward the ring, some of the clueless students asked, "What's happening?"
"What else? The single character faction suffered a defeat in Su Yu's hands previously. This morning, Wu Jia was on her way to purchase some healing medicines when a bunch of single character faction members blocked her path, provoked her, and challenged her..."
"You know Wu Jia's temper. She couldn't hold her anger back and agreed to fight despite her injuries. After defeating a few challengers, her injuries had worsened."
"The single character faction is too shameless. A bunch of guys are fighting a girl one after another. Wu Jia's clothes are already dyed red with blood. After a few victories, the ranked 98th Zhu Hong provoked her. And she foolishly challenged Zhu Hong. The fight is still ongoing. When I left earlier, Wu Jia was already on the verge of death..."
"Damn that single character faction! They are being too much of a bully!"
"That's right. Previously, they targeted Su Yu and ended up losing so many willpower texts. But they shamelessly reneged on the debt and tried to shut our mouths with only some public classes. And now, they're acting up again."
"What a disgusting bunch of people."
"Is the principal not doing anything?"
"They are getting more and more shameless."
"Previously, I only thought that Huang Qifeng and his people are shameless. But it seems the entire single character faction is the same. Why is that damn principal doing nothing?"
"Watch your tongue!"
"..."
Righteous indignation burned in their hearts as they rushed toward the ring. As for the person who had spread the news to them, he ran off to spread the news somewhere else. He had to let more people know about this! The more people he could send to the ring, the better it was! After all, his pay depended on the number of people he could send over!
...
Challenge ring.
The ring was already surrounded by students. Inside the ring, Wu Jia was dyed red with blood. Opposite him, Zhu Hong was frowning. Why was she not conceding? If they continued fighting, he might really end up killing Wu Jia.
And if that happened, he would be in great trouble. As for the referee, it was still Zhao Ming. But Zhao Ming had the expression of someone here to watch a show. He did not look like he was going to stop them.
While coughing blood, Wu Jia gripped her sword and stumbled back up with a pale face and said, "Zhu Hong, you're truly worthless. I'm not even using my willpower and Divine Characters. Is this all you can do? What a piece of trash."
"Hmph!"
Zhu Hong snorted coldly and stabbed his sword at Wu Jia. A crisp sound rang out.
Wu Jia managed to block the attack with her sword, but the webbing between her fingers tore apart. Her opponent's willpower pressed down on her, causing her to suffocate. With a roar, her sword twisted around Zhu Hong's sword as she dashed forth and threw a punch with her left hand.
Zhu Hong's eyes were frosty. He ignored the punch and activated a Divine Character. A bunch of sharp qi erupted from his body, stabbing into Wu Jia's body. More wounds were left on her body.
"Wu Jia, concede."
Someone near the ring shouted, "You can't even use your willpower. Stop the fight. Wu Jia, don't be stupid. Someone has notified Su Yu. Just concede!"
Yes. Some of the crowd couldn't keep watching anymore. This was too excessive. Wu Jia couldn't even use her willpower. And she had just finished fighting four single character factions earlier. She had only fought Zhu Hong after defeating four opponents in a row.
Was Zhu Hong not ashamed of fighting an opponent like this? Was he not ashamed of bullying someone who was still recovering from a willpower injury? The schoolgirls around the ring were furious.
Looking at the blood-soaked Wu Jia, one of them clenched her fists and scolded, "Is this how all top 100 students behaved? All of you are just watching as Zhu Hong bullies an injured girl?"
"Go challenge Su Yu if you're so strong. Are you proud of bullying an injured student?"
"Isn't this how their faction has always been? They only dare to bully the weak. They would never dare to draw their sword against the strong. Just look at how they are leaving Su Yu alone."
"Di Feng was even more shameless. As the 9th rank student, he does not have the courage to challenge the eight students above him. Instead, he spends all his time targeting Su Yu, a student who has only been in the academy for two months. This is a so-called genius? Genius my ass!"
The girls were not holding back at all. This was intolerable. And Wu Jia was too pitiful. Even though they weren't close with Wu Jia, they believed that they should at least say something when they saw her being bullied so badly.
Zhu Hong had also heard all the voices. He was furious. Since Wu Jia was refusing to concede, was he supposed to concede instead? He was feeling very gloomy. Wu Jia was completely defenseless right now. But she was stubbornly hanging on. And the referee was not doing anything.
What could he do? He had tried throwing Wu Jia off the ring several times, but she had been able to escape him each time.
"Fine. I'll kill you. I refuse to believe the referee will still keep watching when you're on the verge of death."
He did not wish to continue this fight. Wu Jia's injuries were worsening. If she really ended up dead, the referee might suffer, but he would suffer even more. Just what was this Zhao Ming thinking? Wu Jia had clearly lost the ability to fight. Why was he not declaring an end to the fight?
Meanwhile, Zhao Ming was completely silent. Ending the fight? How boring would that be?
Wu Jia was clearly going to fight until the end. She seemed willing to even fight until death. Sure, he couldn't let her die for real, but the more miserable she looked right now, the better it would be. Perhaps...a better show was waiting to unfold.
When he glanced to the distant, he saw someone rushing over with large leaps. That person was moving rapidly. The main character had arrived.
The main show is starting. Zhao Ming thought to himself. Next, he reached out and grabbed Zhu Hong's sword. With a frown, he said, "Enough. Zhu Hong is victorious. You could just kick her off the ring. Why are you trying to kill her?"
Zhu Hong frowned, but he said nothing.
Bullshit. If he could kick her off, he would have done so long ago. No matter what, Wu Jia was a ninth-stage Great Strength cultivator. She only looked so weak because she couldn't use her willpower.
Meanwhile, Wu Jia was starting to lose consciousness. She had lost too much blood. Zhao Ming sent a white ray of light toward her. Slowly, her wounds started healing. Next, a figure leaped and landed loudly in the ring.
Su Yu helped Wu Jia up and took off his white robe before draping it over her. Then, he looked at Zhu Hong and gloomily said, "Well done. The single character faction is truly incredible. You are afraid of the strong and bully the weak. You spend all your time humiliating an injured schoolgirl, constantly provoking her and instigating her to fight..."
With Wu Jia in his arms, Su Yu looked around the ring expressionlessly and said, "Again and again. We are in the academy to learn, not to fight among our fellow students. Even if you want to fight, you should have sparred against someone your size to compare notes and learn. Why are you bullying an injured girl repeatedly?"
"Has the single character faction fallen this low? Are you guys only capable of these dirty and shameless tricks? When my teacher challenges someone, he only challenges those stronger than him. He would never bully the weak. I, Su Yu, would only challenge those stronger than me as well."
Su Yu's tone turned cold, "The multiple character faction is weak. We are small. But that doesn't mean that you can humiliate and bully us repeatedly. Since you don't care about your reputation anymore, then I suppose I can do the same. Today, my senior sister was seriously injured once again. You animals have thoroughly angered me."
He turned to face Zhu Hong. With a thick killing intent in his eyes, he said, "Piece of trash that fears the strong and bullies the weak, I hereby challenge you. Do you dare to accept my challenge?"
