80: Chapter 80 The Abyss's Lackey

Hum—!!!

A three-inch transparent flying blade hovered quietly at Su Yu's fingertips.

There was no earth-shattering roar of Qi and blood.

Nor was there any violent Protective Aura that tore through the firmament.

There was only an absolute sharpness that was pure to the extreme, seemingly capable of cutting everything's Soul in the world into fragments!

The moment this transparent flying blade appeared...

The body hair of Martial Emperor Vice Principal Nie Changkong stood on end abruptly!

At this moment, his Martial Emperor Qi and blood, which were originally as steady as an abyss, actually automatically protected his body out of control!

Boom!

A layer of dark golden Martial Emperor Protective Aura instantly enveloped Vice Principal Nie Changkong entirely.

But...

It was useless!

Vice Principal Nie Changkong discovered with horror that, even separated by the Martial Emperor-level Protective Aura, he could still clearly feel a wave of exceptionally piercing, bone-chilling pain coming from his glabella's Sea of Consciousness!

That was absolute suppression on the Soul level!

That transparent flying blade hovering at Su Yu's fingertips completely ignored any defense on the physical level!

As long as Su Yu moved his mind...

This flying blade could instantly pierce through his Martial Emperor Protective Aura and slash directly onto his Soul!

"This..."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong stared fixedly at that transparent flying blade.

It felt as if a clump of hay was stuffed in his throat, and even breathing became unusually difficult.

He was a Martial Emperor!

A supreme powerhouse standing at the apex of the Great Xia Kingdom martial arts pyramid!

Even when facing a Martial Emperor of the same level, he would absolutely never generate such a terrifying feeling of his Soul trembling!

And now...

This feeling actually came from an eighteen-year-old freshman!

It came from a Mental Energy martial art he had obtained for less than four hours!

"Martial King..."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong's voice trembled violently.

At this moment, his weather-beaten eyes were filled with endless shock and disbelief.

"Your Mental Energy..."

"Has actually reached the Martial King Realm?!"

Martial King-level Mental Energy!

This was simply even more despair-inducing and absurd than Su Yu breaking through to 120,000 Qi within a few hours!

You must know...

The Cultivation of Mental Energy was a hundred times, a thousand times harder than Qi and blood!

Even those old monsters who specialized in Cultivating Mental Energy might not be able to deduce their Mental Energy to the Martial King Realm even after spending hundreds of years!

And Su Yu...

Four hours!

Not only did he learn the Heaven Rank High Grade Formless Calamity Blade...

But he also forcibly raised his Mental Energy strength directly to the Martial King level!

Furthermore, he even condensed this killing blade that even a Martial Emperor could feel a fatal threat from!

Is he still human?!

Vice Principal Nie Changkong turned his head.

His gaze fell rigidly upon the unconscious assassin, Shadow Blade, on the ground.

At this moment...

All the doubts...

All the incredulity...

Were all readily solved!

The mystery was solved!

Completely solved!

No wonder this top Great Grandmaster with 600,000 Qi and the trump card assassin of the Abyss Cult was held in Su Yu's hand like a dead dog.

No wonder he didn't even have the chance to commit suicide by taking poison!

Facing the suppression of Martial King-level Mental Energy...

Let alone a Great Grandmaster with 600,000 Qi...

Even a Martial Spirit with one million Qi, if caught unprepared and struck by this Formless Calamity Blade...

Would also be instantly strangled into an empty shell without a Soul!

"You..."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong looked at Su Yu, his lips trembling for a long time.

In the end, all his words converged into just two words:

"Prodigy!"

"A peerless Prodigy!!!"

Vice Principal Nie Changkong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the stormy waves in his heart that almost blew off his skull.

He completely understood now.

How ridiculous the words he had said to Su Yu on the top floor of the library earlier were.

What about Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques being obscure and profound.

What about requiring years and months of grinding effort.

What about aiming too high delaying the Cultivation progress.

In front of a true peerless Prodigy, these so-called common senses were all meant to be broken!

Facing Vice Principal Nie Changkong's gaze as if looking at a monster...

Su Yu's expression was calm.

His mind stirred slightly.

The transparent flying blade exuding a fatal sharpness at his fingertips instantly turned into specks of dim light, dissipating into the night breeze.

The feeling of Soul trembling that had oppressed Vice Principal Nie Changkong's heart also vanished completely along with it.

Su Yu looked at Vice Principal Nie Changkong.

He shook his head slightly.

"Vice Principal, you flatter me."

"Actually, there's nothing to make a fuss about."

Su Yu's tone was exceptionally earnest, without a shred of showing off.

"This is all hard work and sweat."

Hard work?

Sweat?!

Hearing these two words, Vice Principal Nie Changkong almost couldn't help spitting a mouthful of old blood onto Su Yu's face.

He stared fixedly at Su Yu.

The muscles on his face twitched wildly.

Total bullshit!

Four hours!

Do you call this hard work and sweat?!

If four hours counts as hard work and sweat for you, then what about those instructors at Capital Martial Arts University who have bitterly cultivated for over a dozen years without even touching the threshold of a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique?

Are they shit-making machines?!

Vice Principal Nie Changkong roared frantically in his heart.

But looking at Su Yu's face, which was so calm without a trace of ripples...

He suddenly felt that this kid might really not be acting pretentious.

He genuinely felt that this was the result of hard work.

And Su Yu did think so.

After all, in the System Deduction Space, a long time of hundreds of millions of years had truly been spent.

It was just that the difference in time dimensions made all of this appear so terrifying and perverted in the real world.

"Alright."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong waved his hand feebly.

He felt that if he continued to dwell on this topic, his Dao Heart would be shattered by this kid.

"Your talent, your Comprehension Ability..."

"Have completely exceeded the scope of my cognition."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong looked at Su Yu, a trace of complex light flashing in his eyes.

There was shock, gratification, but more than that, a deep sense of worry.

The potential Su Yu displayed was simply too terrifying!

It was terrifying enough for any hostile force to spare no cost to strangle him in the cradle!

Today came a Great Grandmaster with 600,000 Qi.

What about tomorrow?

Would it be a Martial Spirit with one million Qi?

Or even a Martial King personally entering the fray?!

Su Yu ignored Vice Principal Nie Changkong's complex thoughts.

He pulled the topic back on track.

His gaze fell on the unconscious assassin on the ground.

"Vice Principal."

"Who wants to kill me?"

Su Yu's voice was very cold.

Exuding a bone-chilling chill.

He didn't care who the other party was; since they dared to stretch their hands to his neck...

Then they must be prepared to have them completely severed by him!

Hearing this question...

The expression on Vice Principal Nie Changkong's face instantly became extremely solemn.

He waved his hand.

Hum—!

A layer of invisible Martial Emperor Protective Aura instantly enveloped the two of them as well as the assassin on the ground.

Completely isolating all outside detection.

"Abyss Cult."

When Vice Principal Nie Changkong spat out these four words, a trace of undisguised killing intent and disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Abyss Cult?"

Su Yu frowned slightly.

He had seen records about the abyss in high school textbooks.

That was the biggest threat faced by the Great Xia Kingdom and even the entire Human Race.

But regarding the Abyss Cult, the textbooks didn't mention a single word.

"A group of traitors whose minds were completely polluted and distorted by the abyssal aura."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong's voice was exceptionally low.

"They abandoned their identity of the Human Race and willingly degenerated into the dogs of the Abyss."

"They specialize in creating sabotage within our Human Race!"

"The thing they love to do most is assassinating Human Race geniuses with peerless talent like you!"

"As long as geniuses fall, the future of the Human Race will be continuously weakened."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong pointed at Shadow Blade on the ground.

"This person's code name is Shadow Blade."

"He is the trump card assassin of the Abyss Cult in Kyoto."

"Countless Human Race prodigies and military high-level figures have died at his hands."

"I didn't expect that this time they actually locked their target onto you."

A cold light flashed in Su Yu's deep eyes.

"Since they are known to be traitors..."

"Why not just clean them out directly?"
