He understood why, after hearing the words of the Martial Champion Scholar, a surge of battle spirit rose within him; it was the elusive Martial Arts Dao destiny pushing him towards the title.
"Su Tu, keep it up. If you win, we’ll all benefit!"
Mo Ya looked at Su Tu and spoke with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu sensed a hint of farewell.
"Are you all leaving?"
Su Tu asked uncertainly.
"Of course, we’re leaving. That Martial Champion Scholar has started sweeping away other martial artists. Though he doesn’t kill, we can’t withstand his fists, and besides, Luo Fan and Xiong Laile are still in the training camp. I’m uneasy leaving them there."
Fatty Zhuge shrugged as he spoke.
Hearing this, Su Tu furrowed his brows slightly. Much of their injuries were because of him, though those who caused the injuries were killed by him.
Yet, the injuries on their bodies remain.
"Alright then, that Martial Champion Scholar is playing it big this time, so be careful yourself. It’s not bad for us to take a look inside the Immortal Ruins."
"Without this opportunity, we probably wouldn’t get a chance to enter this place in our lifetime."
Mo Ya spoke nonchalantly. It was her decision to leave, being someone who’s very self-aware.
She clearly understood that their strength would only hold Su Tu back in the current ruins. Although the Martial Champion Scholar named Su Tu, stepping on the faces of all the geniuses...
They dared not resent the Martial Champion Scholar, just because he is the "Martial Champion Scholar," so their resentment would shift onto Su Tu.
The list has a magical function: just by scanning the top ten with a heart thought, one can sense the location of the top ten martial artists. And now, it’s assumed those martial artists avoiding the Martial Champion Scholar are all coming towards Su Tu.
The scions of noble families have filthy tricks. Their presence here would become a weakness for Su Tu, easily used against him, so it’s better to withdraw.
The Immortal Ruins are full of opportunities, but upon hearing Mo Ya’s proposal, not one of Su Tu’s classmates objected; they all agreed.
"We’re off, Brother Tu; don’t look so upset. If you’re feeling bad, just beat them up thoroughly."
Fatty Zhuge, while speaking, tore up the scrap of paper.
"Bringing me some treasures would work too, hehe~" Baru laughed.
The other classmates patted Su Tu on the shoulder and also tore up their scraps of paper.
Finally, only Mo Ya was left. She said nothing, just pouted towards something behind Su Tu.
"Have fun. They are just candlelights illuminating your path as the great sun."
With that said, Mo Ya too tore up her scrap.
It’s often said merchants prize profit above all, but at this moment, Mo Ya, born into a merchant family, chose to give up on the last revelry of this training camp without hesitation.
This means they would receive no ranking and no rewards.
A nameless emotion sprouted in Su Tu’s heart. He couldn’t describe it; he just felt there seemed to be a fire burning within him. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel※fire.net
No outlet to vent, no way to calm.
Just then, a somewhat mocking voice rang out behind Su Tu.
"Su Tu!!! You must be Su Tu, right? No doubt, scanning the list with heart thought reveals your appearance!"
"You seem very strong, huh? Other than you, we are ants in front of the Martial Champion Scholar. I am ranked fifth on the list, let me see..."
This martial artist exuded a strong aura, True Qi rippling around him, and the Six Paths Body Lock had been fully opened, even beginning to impact the seventh path, attempting to become a top-tier genius.
His gaze upon Su Tu carried a few traces of defiance, knowing now that Su Tu was merely a local martial artist. How could he deserve the Martial Champion Scholar’s attention?
Yet the next moment!!
The silhouette of Su Tu vanished from his eyes.
Before he could even feel any surprise, a pair of fiery golden eyes flickered in front of him.
"I’m in quite a mood right now..."
A low, hoarse voice sounded.
Su Tu, pinning the martial artist’s head, forcibly drove it into the ground, the immense power creating a massive crack in the ground.
Spider-web-like cracks radiated from the center of the youngster’s head, spreading in all directions.
Despite having unlocked the Six Paths Body Lock, the genius now lay with his head embedded in the ground, his legs twitching uncontrollably.
Not far away, martial artists who wanted to gather around saw this scene, their expressions frozen in shock, eyes bulging, unable to hide their amazement.
They had expected Su Tu, chosen by the Martial Champion Scholar, to be immensely strong, but hadn’t imagined he could be this daunting!
A genius with the Six Paths Body Lock couldn’t withstand even one move in front of him, instantly defeated.
[You defeated a genius, Fighting Proficiency +100, Strengthen Body +50]
[Fighting (High Tier): 2330/5000]
[Strengthen Body (High Tier): 2220/5000]
"Monster!!!" A martial artist exclaimed in terror, yet the next second, Su Tu became a residual shadow, splitting into two, then into three.
Three residual shadows charged into the crowd, with fiery golden eyes flashing crazily with battle intent.
With his classmates exiting the ruins due to the chaotic situation, it meant that now, for Su Tu, everyone in the ruins...
was his experience baby!
[You ended a battle, Fighting Proficiency +20, Strengthen Body +10]
[You ended a battle, Fighting Proficiency +20]
[You ended a battle...]
A series of system notifications popped up like mad, but Su Tu had no time to check them, attacking any martial artist in front of him indiscriminately, like a War God.
"Are you looking for me??"
"You want to hunt me??"
"Now, tell me, who is the hunter!!!"
Grabbing the heads of two martial artists, smashing them together, knocking them out instantly—such was the fate for those only wanting to test Su Tu’s skills.
But for martial artists harboring killing intent...
The ground stained with severed limbs and blood painted a brutal scene.
Regardless of being a mere talent or a genius, appearing before Su Tu marked one for defeat.
At this moment, martial artists initially rushing towards Su Tu began fleeing wildly in all directions, seeing the tall, indifferent figure, their eyes filled only with boundless fear.
They were not on the same level at all; his Qi seemed inexhaustible, his body indomitable.
Fiery golden eyes, dark red fists, an immortal body, Su Tu etched himself into the hearts of every martial artist present, like a nightmare.
"What are geniuses worth!!"
"Geniuses are merely the threshold to see him, no! Geniuses only ants at his feet; only geniuses have the right to glimpse his silhouette!!"
Now, the ground littered with fainted and dead martial artists, all without exception were talents, all geniuses, but facing that figure, they were just as ants....
"Hahahahahahahaha!! So, Su Tu, you are indeed here, if you don’t come find me, then I’ll come find you!"
"Let me assess your Martial Arts Dao!"
A wildly laughing voice echoed from the horizon, as a shirtless boy with wild hair flew forth, each step causing the ground to tremble.
Waves of formless ripples emanated from his feet, and as they passed, martial artists rolled their eyes back, losing consciousness as they fell.
It was as if they weren’t even qualified to witness this battle.
Watching that figure, Su Tu’s fiery golden eyes brightened a few shades.
"You think you’re worthy!!"
