Chapter 442: The Crazy Su Yu (3)

"Su Yu, the hope of the multiple character faction. Hahaha!"

Su Yu showed no anger. He calmly said, "Thank you for your support, Elder Sun. I hope you will stay true to your words."

"Don't worry." Elder Sun smiled, "We are very supportive of more research. You will naturally have our support. There is an abandoned research center near the Wentan Research Center. You can put it to use after a slight renovation. The Character Faculty has the authority to assign that building to you."

There was no lack of land in the academy. And they had no lack of abandoned research centers either. If Su Yu wanted one, they would gladly give him one. A research center required talented individuals, money, resources, projects, creativity, innovation, and land. None of that was too important for the single character faction.

"But you need to fulfill the minimum requirement of having five members before you can submit the application. Additionally, you need to provide a research topic during your application. You are expected to produce a research result for that topic within a set period of time. Otherwise, you won't be able to even start your research center."

Elder Sun had a toying look as he said, "By the way, you won't be able to use the names of Hong Tan, Bai Feng, and Chen Yong. They are all registered under the Wentan Research Center. And of the five names you gather, one must be at least a Skysoar. I do hope to see a Skysoar willing to join you. If you can't find one, we will get Liu Hong to volunteer. Liu Hong, we will have to trouble you to give Student Su some help."

Liu Hong smiled, "Since Elder Sun has promised to help, feel free to look for me, Su Yu. This won't be easy for you. If you still need more members, you can even use the names of both of my students. I will gladly give you any help you need."

The crowd started roaring with laughter.

However, Su Yu continued standing there with a calm look on his face. Eventually, Elder Sun and the others got tired of laughing. This suddenly felt pointless. Su Yu had basically gone crazy. It was embarrassing to get too petty against a madman.

Elder Sun said, "Let us continue the tournament. As for your request for a fight to the death, your team members might not agree. Remember, you are not fighting alone. You need to take your team members into consideration as well. Also, only brutes talk about killing all the time."

Basically, he didn't dare to accept Su Yu's challenge. Despite Su Yu's apparent madness, this kid was still quite strong. He suspected that even if they could kill Su Yu through this tournament, they would lose a lot of students doing so. And it wasn't like their students would really dare to face Su Yu in a fight to the death.

If he forced them to do so, he might even cause an internal conflict within the single character faction. Hearing Elder Sun's words, Su Yu smiled.

"Since you guys are scared, forget it. Let's compete normally. Any challengers?"

Rather than killing a few of them, destroying their confidence was naturally an even better option. They were fearful of him.

When Su Yu requested for a fight to the death, not one single character faction student had answered his challenge. That alone was enough. Even Zhou Hao, who was standing beside Su Yu, had a look of disdain in his eyes.

Su Yu was right. These students were all cowards. This was such a large academy. Yet Su Yu was the only student who had earned his admiration. How lamentable.

"Get into the ring."

Elder Sun's voice rang out as he looked at the single character faction students. He had already prevented the fight to the death from happening. With the risk of death gone and the advantage of five versus one, why were these students still so scared?

Damn it! Were they going to embarrass the single character faction more? Su Yu's ridiculous declaration had lessened the impact of all he had said earlier, but if the single character faction continued refusing to fight him, they would truly destroy their own reputation.

A team of five looked at each other before making up their minds. All of them entered the ring. And the other spectators started waiting for the show to unfold.

Su Yu might be arrogant, but he was truly not weak. The only question was whether he was strong enough to back his arrogance. For many people, it would be more apt for Zhan Hai to be the one uttering those words.

...

"Su Yu, you—"

The single character faction students were about to say something heroic to make themselves look better when Su Yu interrupted them, "Stop wasting time. Referee, we are ready."

"You!"

They were furious. All five of them were old students, but they were not yet past their prime. Each of them had the combat strength of seven or eighth-stage Infinite Realm cultivators. When working together, they could even put up a fight against a Skysoar.

Su Yu was too arrogant.

The referee was not Zhao Ming. It was a different Skysoar cultivator. He wasted no time and announced, "Start the match."

Liu He and the others were still hesitating when Su Yu vanished. An illusion appeared. The five opponents instantly released bursts of willpower to break through the illusion. They were well aware of Su Yu's ability to generate illusions.

But Su Yu's blood character had grown much stronger than before after absorbing the intent of several destroyed Eternal characters. And his willpower had also grown stronger. Thus, his opponents were unable to break free despite being aware of the illusion.

Both the kill and lightning characters had reached the second tier. Even the battle character was not far away from an upgrade. One could say that the characters, willpower and cultural weapon of Su Yu were similarly powerful.

A dark saber wreathed in lightning appeared soundlessly and descended from the sky.

Behind Su Yu, Zhou Hao was about to make a move when Su Yu's indifferent voice rang out, "I can deal with these weaklings myself."

Right after saying that, his Sealing Saber reached his opponents.

Rumble!

All five of them started coughing blood. One of them opened his eyes wide, seemingly on the verge of breaking free from the illusion. But the first thing he saw after leaving the illusion was a rapidly approaching leg. The leg moved so fast that it almost felt like it could affect even the passage of time itself.

Boom!

Crushing Mountainsea!

Crack!

All the bones in that student's body were broken. Like unwanted trash, the student, who was also the leader of his team, was sent flying out of the ring with a single kick from Su Yu.

Wasn't the single character faction rich? Very well. They could use their money to heal these students.

Su Yu refused to believe that it would be cheap to heal these injuries. Huang Qifeng had been healed due to his status as Zheng Yuming's student. Zhou Hao had been healed due to his status as Xia Yuwen's student.

These heavy injuries would require thousands of merit points to heal. Would the single character faction waste their money on these old students? Unlikely.

"How weak."

Su Yu sneered. At that moment, his weapon lashed out again, releasing a burst of lightning and turning a different student into a lump of mangled flesh. The cultural weapon that the student had just taken out was completely destroyed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Su Yu moved rapidly, leaving afterimages all over the ring. He did not forget to use his Soul Devouring Art to burn his opponents, causing them to wail in pain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One student after another was sent flying out of the ring. They were left with broken bones and burnt willpower. They were in great pain, and even now, some of them were still trapped in Su Yu's illusion.

...

In the ring.

Su Yu had ended the fight in less than five seconds.

After putting his weapon away, he looked at the crowd and smiled, "My apologies, but I won. I couldn't hold back so I hope the single character faction can work hard in healing those senior brothers. Be sure to heal them well and not leave any hidden injuries in their bodies. Since I was fighting one against five, I really couldn't afford to hold back."

The crowd sank into silence.

Five strong students at late-stage Infinite Strength Realm had been easily defeated by Su Yu. This was inconceivable. One ought to know that two of them were former top 100 students. And they had only grown stronger since then. But these people had been defeated so easily?

A researcher from the single character faction stepped forth and sent rays of white light toward the five injured students to heal them. He had an unsightly expression as he scolded, "Su Yu, this is not a fight to the death. You are clearly stronger than them. Why had you inflicted such heavy injuries on them?"

Yes. Those were heavy injuries. Numerous bones had been broken, multiple internal organs were bleeding, and some of them had even lost their cultural weapons and characters from the fight.

Su Yu was too heavy-handed.

Su Yu nonchalantly said, "You misunderstand me, Teacher. I had actually held back against them. Otherwise, all of them would be dead already. The referee is here. Since he hadn't stopped me, I had clearly not crossed any lines. You can only blame your students for being too weak."

"You!"

The researcher was furious. Inwardly, he was greatly shocked. Su Yu had grown even stronger than before. These five students were actually stronger than even Di Feng when working together. Yet Su Yu had defeated them so easily.

Su Yu was probably as strong as a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator already. Coupled with a large number of characters and the high tier of his characters, not even regular ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivators would be his match.

Silence descended among the students. Even people like Zhan Hai had solemn expressions. Su Yu had yet to display enough strength to challenge a Skysoar, but with his current strength, he was nearly unrivaled beneath the Skysoar Realm. More importantly, he hadn't even been in the academy for long.

Zhou Hao was also looking at Su Yu with a grave expression. This fellow was much stronger than before. Was this even Su Yu's full strength? That was highly unlikely.
