145: Chapter 145 Just who is Su Yuan?

"Pri... Principal..."

"I swear, I didn't know either!!!"

"He really is a freshman, not some ultimate weapon secretly trained by the military!"

"I only met him a few days ago myself!!!"

Across the phone line, the two fell into a long, dead silence.

Shock.

Incomparable shock.

In just a few days, his vitality skyrocketed from one thousand to a combat power comparable to a Martial Emperor?

This had already exceeded the scope of human cognition!

"This kid..." Principal Feng Wuji took a deep breath, his tone exceptionally grave. "Immediately lock down all his true information! We must never let the outside world know that Su Yuan is Su Yu!"

"Yes! I understand!" Vice Principal Nie Changkong nodded frantically.

...

At the same time.

Modu Martial Arts University, Vice Principal's Office.

Principal Lei Qianjue sat on the sofa, looking at the battle report just sent by the military.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

"Su Yuan... suppressed and killed four Saints in one strike? Forced back the Demon Emperor Heitian?"

Principal Lei Qianjue swallowed hard, his mouth feeling dry.

Too strong.

So strong it bred despair.

He recalled a few days ago on the outskirts of Capital Martial Arts University, how he had confidently vowed to use Demon Martial University's peerless genius Shen Wudao to teach the Capital Martial Arts University freshman Su Yu a lesson at the National Exchange Competition.

"Thank goodness."

Principal Lei Qianjue wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness this Su Yuan isn't that freshman Su Yu from Capital Martial Arts University."

"Otherwise, what's the point of even fighting in the National Exchange Competition!"

"I might as well just have Shen Wudao admit defeat and get the hell back here!"

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

The freshman representative of Demon Martial University, the Innate Evil Body Shen Wudao, strode in.

His face was full of arrogance and confidence.

"Principal Lei! My 'Heavenly Demon Evil Blood Art' has already broken through to the fourth layer!"

Shen Wudao clenched his fists, a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes.

"In this National Exchange Competition, I'm definitely going to beat the crap out of that Su Yu from Capital Martial Arts University!"

"I'll let him know who the true number one genius of the Great Xia Kingdom is!"

Principal Lei Qianjue looked at Shen Wudao's insufferable appearance.

Suddenly, he felt a bit uneasy.

In his mind, a ridiculous thought flashed without warning.

Wait.

Su Yu? Su Yuan?

Both surnamed Su?

And both are peerless geniuses who use spears?

Principal Lei Qianjue's hand trembled slightly, spilling the tea he held onto the table.

"Impossible!"

Principal Lei Qianjue stood up abruptly, casting the ridiculous thought out of his mind.

"Absolutely impossible!"

"Only a freshman, only eighteen years old—how long could he have been practicing martial arts? How could he possibly have Martial Emperor combat power?!"

"What kind of international joke is this!"

Principal Lei Qianjue sneered, as if emboldening himself, or perhaps speaking to Shen Wudao.

"If that freshman Su Yu is actually this Su Yuan who suppressed and killed four Saints..."

"I'll tear down Demon Martial University's gates on the spot and swallow them whole!"

...

Kyoto, Lin Family Manor.

Lin Zhentian sat in his study, looking at the top-secret intelligence his subordinate had just handed him.

The Dark Web Underground City has been annihilated.

The mysterious powerhouse Su Yuan suppressed and killed four Saints with a single spear strike, forcing back the Demon Emperor.

As Lin Zhentian looked at the thin pages, stormy waves surged in his deep eyes.

"One spear to suppress four Saints, forcing back the Demon Emperor Heitian..."

"Just who exactly is this powerhouse named Su Yuan?"

"When did the Great Xia Kingdom produce such a peerless figure capable of mending the heavens with a single hand?"

Lin Zhentian stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night sky outside. He couldn't help but sigh deeply, his tone filled with awe and emotion.

"It's said this Su Yuan is extremely young and acts with thunderous efficiency... truly, a hero emerges from the youth."

For some reason, at the mention of a young genius.

Lin Zhentian's mind suddenly flashed back to the scene of meeting Su Yu for the first time at the Kyoto Railway Station a few days ago.

That eighteen-year-old boy.

Facing the gaze of a Martial Venerable like himself, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his vitality was incredibly solid.

"That kid named Su Yu doesn't have bad talent either."

"Given time, he might not fail to become a martial arts giant guarding a region."

"However, compared to this Su Yuan who appeared out of nowhere, he is ultimately like a firefly compared to the bright moon..."

Lin Zhentian shook his head and laughed at himself.

He really was obsessed; how could he compare a newly enrolled freshman to an invincible existence who could make a Demon Emperor bleed from across the void?

The two were simply not in the same dimension.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao isn't back yet?"

Lin Zhentian pulled back his thoughts and turned to the butler waiting outside the door.

The butler bowed respectfully.

"Reporting to Master, the Eldest Miss said she wants to consult with student Su Yu about spear techniques tonight and will be back late."

Lin Zhentian was stunned for a moment, then nodded with gratification.

"Good, that's good."

"That Su Yu is indeed a rare and top-tier talent with extremely high spear technique attainment. Letting Xiaoxiao learn more from him will be of great benefit to her."

"Pass down the word, absolutely do not disturb them."

...

Capital Martial Arts University, a secluded training ground behind the freshman apartments.

The night breeze was slightly cool.

Lin Xiaoxiao wore the Ice-blue Army-Breaking Level Battle Skirt that had just been forged.

The hem of the skirt fluttered gently in the night wind, outlining her pure and graceful curves.

A layer of extremely restrained ice-blue Astral Qi flowed slowly over her body, completely blocking out the chill of the night wind.

She held a standard-issue long spear in her hand.

Her eyes were focused, and her vitality surged.

"Hah!"

Lin Xiaoxiao gave a soft shout and thrust the spear.

The spear tip tore through the air, letting out a crisp sonic boom.

Faintly, a trace of the prototype of the 'Micro-Perception' realm flickered at the spear tip.

Not far away.

Su Yu stood quietly in the shadows under a tree.

He had just rushed back from the Dark Web and changed out of that black trench coat carrying the scent of blood.

At this moment, he had returned to his appearance as a weathered and calm freshman.

With a massive sum of fourteen trillion in his pocket.

Su Yu was in a very good mood.

"The force application is wrong."

Su Yu spoke indifferently, his voice sounding exceptionally clear in the night.

"The power from the waist wasn't fully transmitted to the arm."

"The spear is an extension of the body, not just a tool."

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped her movements and turned to look at Su Yu.

In those pure and beautiful eyes, a stubborn refusal to lose flickered.

"I've already been trying hard to find that 'Shape-Shifting' feeling you mentioned!"

Lin Xiaoxiao panted slightly, a layer of fine sweat beads appearing on her forehead.

"But, I always feel like something is missing."

Su Yu walked forward.

He came to Lin Xiaoxiao's side.

He didn't speak, but instead directly reached out and grasped Lin Xiaoxiao's hand that was holding the spear.

Their skin touched.

Lin Xiaoxiao's body stiffened slightly.

The tips of her ears instantly turned beet red.

But she didn't pull away; instead, she bit her lower lip and let Su Yu hold her hand.

"Feel my vitality flow."

Su Yu's voice was very calm, without a hint of stray thoughts.

He guided Lin Xiaoxiao's arm, slowly pulling back the long spear.

"Stretch the spinal dragon."

"Sink the vitality into the dantian."

"Then, explode in an instant."

Holding her hand, Su Yu thrust forward suddenly!

Buzz!

The moment the spear thrust out.

A visible transparent spear glow erupted from the spear tip!

It directly pierced through a boulder weighing hundreds of catties in front of them, leaving a hole as smooth as a mirror!

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.

She stared blankly at the hole.

"This..."

"Is this Form-Manifesting Spear Intent?"

Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at Su Yu, who was close at hand.

Su Yu's profile looked exceptionally cold and stern under the moonlight.

In his deep eyes, it seemed as if endless stars were hidden.

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Did you memorize it?" Su Yu let go of her hand and took a step back.

"Practice more."

Lin Xiaoxiao snapped back to her senses, her cheeks burning hot.

She nodded haphazardly.

"I... I memorized it."

Su Yu looked at the time.

"Let's stop here for today."

"I have things to do, I'm heading back first."

After saying that, Su Yu turned and walked toward the apartment.

His mind was now entirely filled with that fourteen trillion in cash.

He had to go back and top up immediately.

Deduce the fourth vitality compression!

Charge toward an even higher realm!

Lin Xiaoxiao held the long spear and watched Su Yu's back.

She bit her lip.

"Su Yu!"

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted.

Su Yu stopped his pace and looked back.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, lifted her chin, and flashed a bright smile.

"In the National Exchange Competition, you will definitely win!"

Su Yu looked at her stubborn and sincere appearance.

He nodded slightly.

"Yeah."

Turning, he pushed open the door to the apartment.

Fourteen trillion.

Here I come.
