Chapter 972 - 313: Punching Meng Yang, Kicking Bai Xiaolong
The new round of cultivation begins.
This time, Su Yue operates the Vermilion Extreme Cloud Platform with ease, as naturally as breathing.
Moreover, Su Yue’s speed in driving the Spiritual Energy Giant Snake surpasses the Tan Lang group.
Yes.
The first Spiritual Energy Giant Snake floating in the air actually belongs to Su Yue.
This fact frustrates the Tan Lang group greatly.
Time and again, being outdone by a young man, they feel like such failures, so pathetic!
But with things as they are, what can be done?
They can’t possibly kill him.
Unknowingly, 24 hours pass.
The Tan Lang group’s faces are pale, their Qi Blood exhausted; they go back to rest without caring about Su Yue. This extraordinary genius is beyond their reach.
Grandmaster? Not a chance.
After a short 9-hour recovery, this guy is still out swaggering, specifically looking for Fifth-Grade Martial Artists to challenge.
Does he not know fatigue?
The Tan Lang group can’t understand Su Yue; they just can’t comprehend him.
Let him do as he will.
"Indeed, the effect on the second day is not as good as on the first.
"Resistance to medicine, it’s simply a headache."
Su Yue shakes his head in distress.
Compared to yesterday, Su Yue’s Qi Blood value is about 5 units lower.
Regarding the issue of martial artists’ resistance to medicine, whether from the Divine Land Research Institute or the Eight Clans of the Wetland, there is no solution.
This is why exotic alchemy pills are expensive.
It’s not because the ingredients of exotic pills are precious, but because human martial artists’ bodies have no resistance to medicine.
Conversely, human pills are also valuable in exotic cities for the same reason.
This is an unsolvable issue.
At least, under the current circumstances, no one can solve it.
And the critical point is that Su Yue practices with a Qi Ring, theoretically doubling his resistance.
Indeed, it’s quite a vexation.
Su Yue tidies himself up briefly and then meditates tirelessly to expel impurities from his body.
Afterwards, he still plans to challenge the Fifth-Grade in the prison.
Su Yue set a goal for himself, planning to defeat all Fifth-Grades before leaving the prison.
After clearing the impurities, Su Yue’s Qi Blood value increases by 1 unit.
Still not as effective as yesterday.
"Young master, I heard you were looking for me?"
It’s still the same Fifth-Grade from last time.
Upon clearing out the impurities, Su Yue had someone bring him over.
Before defeating him, Su Yue plans to keep challenging him.
"Stop talking, try out my newly minted fist today!"
Bang!
Without another word, Su Yue’s body surges, clearing layers of air as his fist casts an eerie arc through the air.
Swift and venomous, like the cunning head of a viper.
"A newly minted fist? What kind of fist gets upgrades?"
The Fifth-Grade prisoner mutters to himself.
But in the next blink, Su Yue’s killer move has already arrived.
"It’s only been a day, how has he grown so much stronger!"
Only in actual combat can one truly feel Su Yue’s terror.
It’s not his killer move that’s frightening, but the speed of his progress is absolutely chilling.
How can this be?
Rumble!
Rumble!
Their battle attracts quite a crowd of prisoners as spectators.
Having watched the fight yesterday, many are equally shocked at Su Yue’s progress.
No one thinks the Fifth-Grade is going easy; his killer moves are harsher than yesterday.
Su Yue’s progress is just that fast.
In the distance, a Shenchu Corps major is utterly amazed.
Prince Qing’s son is simply a monster.
...
At Beiwu!
Xu Baiyan exits the school alone and heads to a very ordinary tea shop on the street.
It’s early morning, the tea shop has just opened and has no customers yet; besides, people typically don’t go for tea so early.
In the small shop, it’s only Xu Baiyan and the server!
This tea shop is part of a franchise, the owner doesn’t come around, typically leaving operations to the server.
"Was it you who killed my junior?"
Xu Baiyan stands at the counter brimming with murderous intent, looking thinner than before, her eyes completely bloodshot.
"The Divine Elder has already proven he can slay a Ninth Grade, why haven’t you gone to Jing Niao City yet?"
The tea shop attendant asks kindly while shaking tea.
"I have my plans!
"I’m asking you, why did you kill my junior!"
Xu Baiyan is surrounded by killing aura, making the tables in the tea shop vibrate slightly.
Three days ago, a junior in Xu Baiyan’s class was suddenly attacked in the street by a Yangxiang Sect spy.
The junior had just broken through to the Third Grade and couldn’t possibly fend off a Fourth Grade spy.
Thus, Xu Baiyan watched her junior get killed.
She and Yang Lezhi chased the spy, but he had a detailed escape plan, and in the end, the two couldn’t catch up.
At the murder scene, Xu Baiyan received a covert message from the Yangxiang Race.
So, today she comes to the tea shop as agreed.
"Starting today, everyone around you will be targets. We’ll eliminate one every three days until we’ve wiped them all out, making you the Star of Calamity.
"By the way, Yang Lezhi, Su Yue, and Su Qingfeng are all on the Divine Elder’s assassination list.
"We admit, Su Qingfeng is strong and he’s in Shenchu Prison, so it requires some planning, but the Divine Elder will find a way.
"And Su Yue, despite being secretly protected, hasn’t broken through to Grandmaster yet. If we’re willing to sacrifice, we’ll find a way to kill him.
"Yang Lezhi, who’s always following you, is our next target."
