Gu Hanyue mocked, "First-class Disciples don’t have activities like the Brawl Forest, so of course they can’t acquire a large number of Human Martial Beads in a short time."
"Senior Sister Gu, you think too highly of him," Zhang Qianyu sneered. "It’s a good thing First-class Disciples can’t participate in the Brawl Forest. If they could, he’d probably have the Human Martial Beads he receives each month snatched away by others."
Gu Hanyue nodded. "Junior Brother Zhang has a point. A First-class Disciple needs a cultivation level of at least the War Sect Seventh Heaven just to protect themselves."
"I still don’t believe he’s a First-class Disciple," Su Miaoyu said with disdain. "He may have a special physique, but his breakthrough speed in the Martial Arts Realm could never surpass mine. I possess the Emperor Meridians!"
Gu Hanyue secretly sent a voice transmission to her. "Senior Sister Su, we can’t let him prove his disciple status right now. We have to wait until he leaves the Martial Institute. After we’ve given him a thorough thrashing, then we can let him confirm his identity!
"If he isn’t a First-class Disciple, your life-and-death duel with him will be void. Then, we’ll be the ones to take his life!"
Hearing this, Su Miaoyu’s eyes flickered, and she nodded with a smile as radiant as a flower.
"Senior Brother Long, let’s go. Even the air here is foul," Liu Bian suggested with a frown.
Long Chen nodded slightly and walked out in silence alongside Liu Bian, not casting a single glance at Su Miaoyu the entire time.
Since the ten-day duel was already set, further words were pointless—nothing more than empty posturing.
"Long Chen, seeing as you were once my fiancé, how about I gift you a Heavenly Top-grade weapon?" Su Miaoyu suddenly called out mockingly from behind him. "Seeing you in such a pitiable state makes me even more certain that choosing Brother Po Jun was the right decision!"
"Haha, Senior Sister Su is truly benevolent, willing to show mercy and give alms even to a dying beast," Zhang Qianyu jeered.
Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh. Without turning his head, he retorted, "You should keep it for yourself. You’d better spend all of your lover’s family fortune now. Otherwise, after ten days, you won’t be alive to use it.
"In fact, I feel quite sorry for your father. My father was the one who smashed his head in, yet you still have the gall to offer me a weapon. You’re just as Zhang Qianyu said—a truly benevolent person. In that regard, I’m no match for you."
Liu Bian’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Something like that really happened?" he exclaimed. "Then she truly is too benevolent! I can’t hold a candle to her!"
"Hahahaha, on that point alone, she’s surpassed countless people," Long Chen roared with laughter.
Liu Bian laughed along in agreement. "The strongest in the world? Nothing more than this! Hahaha!"
"You...!" Su Miaoyu’s pretty face turned livid, her expression twisting into a chilling mask.
She had deliberately made that statement to ridicule Long Chen for his poverty, but to her shock, he had turned it against her!
"Senior Sister Su, don’t be angry. He’s just some worthless trash who’s about to die," Gu Hanyue consoled softly.
"Don’t worry, Senior Sister Su," Zhang Qianyu chimed in to comfort her. "The moment he steps out of the Martial Institute, I’ll personally force him to his knees to kowtow and apologize to you! If he dares to refuse, I’ll beat him until he does! As long as we don’t kill him, we can mess with him however we want!"
At these words, Su Miaoyu’s expression softened slightly, but her eyes remained icy and full of murderous intent.
Seeing this, Gu Hanyue and Zhang Qianyu exchanged a glance.
"Junior Brother Zhang, you’ll have to break a sect rule for this," Gu Hanyue proposed. "Wait until he buys that sword, then go and shatter it."
"Alright!" Zhang Qianyu readily agreed. "If it helps Senior Sister Su vent her anger, breaking one sect rule is nothing. Besides, I’ll just be shattering his sword, not harming him. The worst that can happen is being punished to face a wall in reflection. It’s no big deal!"
"Thank you, Junior Brother Zhang. I’ll definitely ask Brother Po Jun to intervene so you won’t be punished!" Su Miaoyu said, deeply touched.
Zhang Qianyu’s eyes lit up. If Shangguan Pojun finds out about this, not only will I be spared punishment, I might even get a reward!
"I’m going now. You two Senior Sisters, just watch this!" Zhang Qianyu said before following after Long Chen.
