76: You guys go together

A person's shadow, a tree's name.

The name Su Bai has already caused a huge stir throughout the Meteor Empire.

Just this name alone is enough to suppress all the heroes.

"What's wrong with Su Bai?"

"Even if you are Su Bai, I'm still not convinced. If you have the guts, come to the Martial Arts Arena with me for a fight."

"As long as you beat me, I'll be completely convinced, and I'll never bother you again."

Just then, a man stepped forward, a determined look in his eyes.

As the saying goes, it's worth dying under a peony, even as a ghost.

What's more, he wouldn't actually die; fights in the Martial Arts Arena couldn't result in death.

"Alright, alright, it seems you really want to fight me."

"No problem, I accept."

"Besides him, is there anyone else?"

"I don't care about the number of people, just come."

Su Bai looked at the crowd in front of him, smiled slightly, and spoke softly.

"Count me in! Our Imperial Martial Goddess absolutely cannot be snatched away by others."

"Count me in too! I can't swallow this insult."

"And me! No matter what, she's our Goddess. If you want to take her away, you must show enough strength."

"I..."

...

...

One after another, voices rang out. All in all, hundreds of students gathered, all wanting to challenge Su Bai.

"I didn't realize you had such great charm at Imperial Martial. You're no longer that little dark egg no one cared for or loved, like before."

Su Bai looked at the little girl beside him, couldn't help but smile, and said softly.

Mu Yan used to be bullied a lot, and no one except him would stand up for her.

"Look at you talking! When was I ever unloved? Besides, can you please stop calling me 'little dark egg'? I'm an adult now."

Looking at Su Bai in front of her, Mu Yan rolled her eyes and glared at him fiercely.

If anyone else said that to her, she would definitely be angry, but Su Bai and Sun Kai were exceptions.

"Do you think I should teach them a harsh lesson, and let them know that there's always someone better, and a higher heaven beyond the sky!"

Su Bai narrowed his eyes, surveying the group in front of him, a hint of coldness in his gaze.

Although these guys might ostensibly be doing it for Mu Yan, a large portion of them were still aiming to defeat him.

Defeating Champion Marquis, what a glorious thing that would be!

Among these people, there were even many Four-turn Tianjiao hiding, their goal being to take down Su Bai.

"It's up to you!"

"Most of these people are my classmates. Some are already in their senior year. Can you really beat all of them?"

Mu Yan looked at Su Bai, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Just a continuous series of fights would be enough for Su Bai to handle.

"Can I?"

"You better remove that 'can I' from your sentence! I am the dignified Champion Marquis. Let alone fighting this group of people, even if a World Boss stood in front of me, I could scatter its ashes."

Su Bai couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said softly.

"Then I'm rooting for you!"

Mu Yan clenched her fists, a playful expression on her face.

"Let's go. Aren't you people going to challenge me? To the Martial Arts Arena."

"I'm afraid if I make a move, you'll die instantly."

Su Bai looked at the group in front of him and said with a smile.

"Utterly arrogant, absolutely arrogant."

"He thinks that by ascending the Pride Tower, he can be considered the brightest golden star in the entire Federation. He's dreaming! Do you guys allow me to challenge him one-on-one?"

"I want to challenge him one-on-one too! Damn it, he's making me so angry!"

"Must be a one-on-one. I've never been so insulted before."

The group of guys rolled up their sleeves and said aggressively.

Both sides quickly headed towards the Martial Arts Arena.

"Have you heard? Su Bai seems to be getting into a fight with some of our academy's senior students."

"It seems so. I heard they've already gone to the Martial Arts Arena."

"Hurry up and go watch! This kind of excitement isn't common."

"Just wondering who will win?"

"No need to think about it. Those seniors are all very strong. Some have already completed Five-turn. No matter how strong Su Bai is, he can't be their opponent."

Everyone started discussing and walked towards the Martial Arts Arena.

After reaching senior year, they had more time.

The time spent in dungeons would be longer, and their levels would increase rapidly.

"Dean, I heard that our academy's students are arguing with Su Bai. Why don't you go take a look?"

Several Vice Deans looked at Jiang Lin, a curious expression in their eyes.

"What's there to see?"

"It's just a farce."

Hearing this, Jiang Lin shook his head.

These people still harbored illusions; they didn't know who Su Bai was.

When they truly understood what 'strength' meant, let alone confronting Su Bai, they wouldn't even have the courage to stand before him.

"Do you think Su Bai will lose?"

Vice Director Gao paused and asked softly.

He hadn't truly seen Su Bai, only heard information about him, and only knew that Su Bai was a very powerful professional with great talent.

"How is that possible? If Su Bai loses, I'll write my name backward."

As soon as he said this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but laugh.

"Really? Are you that confident in Su Bai?"

"Is this young man really worth your high regard?"

Vice Director Gao couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, Dean. Many students in our academy have even completed Five-turn. His level is at most Three-turn. Challenging across ranks isn't that easy to accomplish."

"Three-turn against Five-turn, under normal circumstances, there's only one path: death."

The other two Vice Deans frowned and quickly said.

"What you're talking about is normal circumstances. Su Bai is completely abnormal. If you don't believe me, go to the arena and see for yourselves."

Jiang Lin patted his robe, leaned back in his chair, and hummed a tune, both of them looking extraordinarily relaxed.

"I'll go take a look."

"It's been a long time since our Imperial Capital Academy has been this lively. I'll go take a look too."

"What kind of charm does the dignified Champion Marquis possess?"

These Deans all headed towards the Martial Arts Arena.

The Martial Arts Arena was a rather special platform, equivalent to a secret realm.

However, this secret realm had one advantage: dying in the secret realm didn't result in true death; one would simply be ejected from the secret realm.

It was precisely because of this that these guys dared to provoke Su Bai, wanting to test his depth.

Many people still held a skeptical attitude towards this Tianjiao, who was ranked first in the entire Meteor Empire.
