Chapter 959 - 309: Take a Step Back and the Sea Broadens
"Disgusting! I can’t even stand myself."
The Greed Wolf 01 turned around and left the room to get some fresh air outside.
From the very beginning, this was a self-degrading farce, harming others without benefiting oneself.
Now, it feels better, but I feel like an outcast.
It was clearly a promise to Duan Yuandi, but it made me look petty.
Inside the room, the four Grandmasters looked at each other.
Although they wanted to rebut Greed Wolf 01, they couldn’t find anything useful to say.
The atmosphere remained tense.
...
The next day.
Su Yue challenged six Fifth-Grade Martial Artists again.
He was completely defeated.
This was his second day leaving Greed Wolf Prison.
Even the prisoner martial artists delivering meals to Greed Wolf Prison wore gloomy expressions.
The five Grandmasters felt uneasy.
Normally, these martial artists delivering meals were extremely enthusiastic.
Bringing meals to the Grandmaster was considered an honor.
But now, only indifference showed on their faces, making them feel like mice scurrying through the streets with everyone wanting to hit them.
"We haven’t done anything that would incur heaven’s wrath, have we? Are these people crazy?"
Greed Wolf 02 looked surprised.
"Bullying the honest, does that count as wrongdoing?
"What status does Su Yue hold? He’s kind to everyone and can blend in with any prisoner. Of course, he’s welcomed.
"Su Qingfeng naturally has high prestige in Shenchu City. His son is such a gentle and humble young man. Isn’t it natural for others to dislike you if you intentionally bully a kind young man?
"You eat and drink while bullying others. With such a harsh attitude, do you still expect to be respected?"
said Greed Wolf 01.
"Are we really that bad?"
Greed Wolf 02 began to doubt himself.
Originally, we just wanted to embarrass Su Yue a little.
Who knew he would be so resilient?
"No, we aren’t just bad!
"We are both foolish and bad. Doing something so thankless, who would understand why?
"Do you truly think that all Grandmasters in Shenchu City are gone? That leaving us means the prison gate will truly break?
"The prison gate matter is a redemption opportunity given by Duan Yuandi. You wielded the authority recklessly, thinking Duan Yuandi couldn’t replace you?
"Truly, if you end up lying in prison until death, could you accept it?"
Greed Wolf 01 sneered.
"That kid played us from the start, we shouldn’t have eaten or drank his offerings."
Greed Wolf 05 muttered.
"Exactly, from the moment you stepped into Shenchu City, Su Yue was calculating against you.
"Continue battling with your own wits.
"You have a narrow mind but can’t stand others being optimistic.
"People who dwell in darkness have minds full of it, truly beyond rescue!"
Greed Wolf 01 tossed away the can and left.
"I feel, maybe we were really too mean. After all, Su Yue didn’t provoke us."
Greed Wolf 02 increasingly felt something was amiss.
He felt like he was about to become a sinner.
"I also feel we might have gone too far."
Greed Wolf 04 said.
"Even if we went too far, there’s no choice now. Su Yue has already left, and we don’t even have a chance to reconcile!"
Greed Wolf 03 sighed.
They must suppress the prison gate for now and cannot leave Greed Wolf Prison.
The only one able to speak to Su Yue, 01, was clearly very angry.
Greed Wolf 05 squeezed the can out of shape.
Actually, he harbored the greatest resentment toward Su Qingfeng; this cross-platform plan was his idea.
Greed Wolf 05 imagined many scenarios but did not expect Su Yue to be as calm as a sea surface.
He did nothing yet stood in an undefeatable position.
Now, Greed Wolf Prison felt like insects scorched by fire.
Actually, Greed Wolf 05 regretted it somewhat deep down.
After a long time in prison, one’s stubbornness wanes and they learn more about adaptability.
It’s better to resolve grievances than to keep them.
The reason they ended up in prison was due to emotional impulsivity, and killing in anger.
If adaptability remains elusive, then this prison term really amounted to nothing.
...
The third day after leaving Greed Wolf Prison.
Su Yue defeated Scar.
He didn’t use any auxiliary battle techniques, just pure physical combat.
Many spectators were present, anyone could tell Scar didn’t hold back; he treated Su Yue like a true enemy.
But in the end, Scar was still defeated.
Defeated openly and justly by Su Yue.
All the watching prisoners screamed and clapped.
They seemed more excited than if they themselves had defeated Scar. In places like Shenchu City, the strong naturally earn respect.
Su Yue, an 18-year-old Fourth-Grade Martial Artist, actually defeated the infamous Scar. He was simply a miracle.
Through interactions over this period, quite a few have even recognized Su Yue as one of their own.
Now that Su Yue won, they were genuinely happy.
"Thanks for everyone’s help, I’ve ordered a batch of beer, and today I’m treating everyone to a good drink!"
Su Yue was injured all over, yet he walked over, helped Scar up, and then called out to them.
Actually, Su Yue enjoyed interacting with this group of prisoners.
The prisoners in Shenchu City are all martial artists.
When martial artists commit crimes, there aren’t many varied charges; most are due to being spirited, or injuring or killing opponents.
The truly bad prisoners, with heinous crimes, have been executed.
The remaining heavy criminals don’t inherently have bad personalities; most are passionate killers, belonging to people of emotion.
"Long live the young master!"
Upon hearing that Su Yue was treating them to beer, all the prisoners cheered.
Bringing beer to Wet Realm requires special bottles and costs over ten times more than on Earth—a huge expense.
But Su Yue felt it was money well spent.
The atmosphere in Shenchu City differs from that in schools and the Military Department.
