97: Chapter 97 My Personal Instruction

"This……"

Principal Lei Qianjue suddenly opened his eyes and gasped.

"A Martial Spirit counter-slaying a Devil Saint?!"

"What the hell kind of monster is this?!"

He turned to look at Vice Principal Nie Changkong, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Old Nie, where on earth did you guys at Capital Martial Arts University dig up such a freak?!"

Vice Principal Nie Changkong remained silent.

With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the sky.

He maintained a cold and aloof posture that screamed "invincibility is so lonely".

Inwardly, however, he was frantically screaming: I want to know where he was dug up from, too! I also think he's a total freak!

Just as everyone was in shock,

Boom——!!!

In the sky, a boundless, suppressive, and terrifying might abruptly descended!

At this moment, the space of the entire abandoned industrial zone seemed to completely freeze.

A towering figure stepped out from the Void Realm in a single stride.

National Guardian Martial Saint, Huo Zhenshan!

He wore a plain gray robe.

Although he did not deliberately release his Qi and blood, just standing there made him feel like an insurmountable archaic divine mountain.

"Greetings, Martial Saint Huo!"

All the Martial Emperors and Martial Kings present simultaneously dropped to one knee, their expressions exceptionally respectful.

Huo Zhenshan nodded slightly.

"Rise."

With a casual toss of his hand,

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several figures in black robes, with all their bones shattered and limp like mud, were tossed right at Vice Principal Nie Changkong's feet.

"Scum from the Abyss Cult."

Huo Zhenshan's voice was low and majestic.

"These few sleeper agents attempted to sneak into Capital Martial Arts University taking advantage of the commotion caused by the Devil Saint's descent in the suburbs."

"They were intercepted and killed by me halfway."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong looked at those figures in black robes on the ground, frowning slightly.

"Sneak into Capital Martial Arts University?"

"What do they want to do?"

Huo Zhenshan glanced at Vice Principal Nie Changkong and snorted coldly.

"What else could they want to do?"

"To kill that specially recruited freshman of Capital Martial Arts University, Su Yu!"

At this, even National Guardian Martial Saint Huo Zhenshan, who had seen all sorts of grand storms, flashed a rare hint of surprise in the depths of his eyes.

When he tortured this result out, he had truly been stunned for a long time in his heart.

He really hadn't expected that a mere newly enrolled freshman could actually prompt the Abyss Cult to invest such a heavy price and possess such a terrifying influence.

This sparked a strong curiosity in him towards this little fellow named Su Yu, deciding that once this matter was settled, he must go see him in person.

As soon as these words were spoken,

Vice Principal Nie Changkong's heart twitched violently.

Huo Zhenshan had his hands behind his back, his gaze looking towards the rolling Abyss Realm ahead.

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain."

"Using a Devil Saint to stall Kyoto's high-end combat power."

"Merely to kill a freshman."

Huo Zhenshan shook his head, a hint of praise leaking through his tone.

"It seems that Su Yu from your Capital Martial Arts University truly enjoys a resounding reputation!"

"To be able to make the Abyss Cult so wary that they would spare no expense to strangle him in the cradle."

"He's a good sapling."

"Old Nie, you must protect him well."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong fell silent.

He looked at the corpses of those Abyss sleeper agents on the ground.

Then he looked at the Abyss Realm ahead from which the Devil Saint's miserable screams constantly drifted out.

The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably twice.

Protect?

What the hell am I supposed to protect?!

Are you guys in the Abyss Cult out of your minds?!

That Su Yu whom you went through such painstaking efforts and created such a massive setup to kill at Capital Martial Arts University...

Right now, he's bloody inside!

And he's beating the Devil Saint you summoned to a pulp like it's his grandson!!!

Vice Principal Nie Changkong took a deep breath.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to roar in his heart.

He was afraid that if he said it out loud, not only would the Abyss Cult collapse, but the Martial Emperors and Martial Saints present would collapse along with them.

Principal Lei Qianjue at the side heard the name "Su Yu" and snorted coldly.

"Su Yu?"

"Is that the freshman who comprehended Form-Manifesting Spear Intent?"

"His talent is indeed not bad, but that's about it."

A flash of arrogance crossed Principal Lei Qianjue's single eye.

"Old Nie, don't think that just because your Capital Martial Arts University recruited a Genius, you can steadily suppress our Demon Martial University."

"In this year's National Freshman Exchange Tournament, our Demon Martial University's Shen Wudao possesses the Innate Evil Body!"

"We'll settle things in the arena!"

"That Su Yu is in for a rude awakening!"

Vice Principal Nie Changkong glanced at Principal Lei Qianjue.

His gaze was filled with pity, the kind one shows toward the mentally disabled.

Exchange tournament?

He's going to get it?

Oh Lei, Old Lei.

If you knew that the freak inside beating the Devil Saint like a dog was that very Su Yu you claimed would be taught a lesson at the exchange tournament,

you would probably carry a train on your back and flee overnight, while breaking the legs of that Shen Wudao from your Demon Martial University so he doesn't go up there to throw his life away.

Huo Zhenshan ignored Principal Lei Qianjue's provocation.

As a Martial Saint, his horizons were naturally higher.

He turned his head, his gaze burning like torches as he stared at that Abyss Realm.

His brow furrowed slightly.

"Old Nie."

"Who is inside?"

In Huo Zhenshan's voice, there was a trace of undisguised doubt and shock.

"Kyoto shouldn't have any other Martial Saints, right?"

"But this combat fluctuation……"

"Not only has it firmly suppressed the Devil Saint, but the quality of that dark gold Qi and blood makes even me feel alarmed!"

Huo Zhenshan took a deep breath.

"When did the Great Xia Kingdom produce such an unrivaled expert?"

"Is it an external reinforcement you invited?"

Everyone's gaze instantly concentrated on Vice Principal Nie Changkong.

Principal Lei Qianjue, several Martial Emperors, and Huo Zhenshan.

Were all waiting for his answer.

Vice Principal Nie Changkong fell silent for a moment.

His brain was spinning at high speed.

How should he put it?

Say that the one inside is Su Yu? That he's an eighteen-year-old freshman?

No!

Absolutely not!

The talent Su Yu had displayed was already Heaven-Defying enough, even summoning the Abyss Cult's Devil Saint descent and assassination ambush this time.

If the outside world were to know,

that Su Yu not only comprehended Form-Manifesting Spear Intent, but had already reached the Peak of Soul Casting!

Not just a thousand points of Qi and blood, but nine million points of Dark Gold Divine Blood!

That he could not only instantly kill Grandmasters, but even press down a Devil Saint to beat it!

This talent was ten thousand times—no, a hundred million times more Heaven-Defying than they imagined!

If this news leaked out,

wouldn't the entire Great Xia Kingdom, no, the entire Abyss, be utterly terrified?!

By then, the ones coming to assassinate Su Yu wouldn't just be Devil Saints.

The Abyss's Devil Emperors would probably take the field personally and tear through space at all costs to wipe him out!

A tree that stands out from the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

To protect Su Yu, this secret must be guarded to the death!

Even when facing the National Guardian Martial Saint, he couldn't tell the truth!

Vice Principal Nie Changkong took a deep breath.

Meeting Huo Zhenshan's sharp gaze,

He puffed out his chest.

With his hands behind his back.

His old face was plastered with unconcern and inscrutability.

"Martial Saint Huo."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong's voice was steady, exuding an unquestionable pride.

"The one inside is not an external reinforcement."

"He is one of my students."

"At the Martial Spirit Realm."

"His name is Su Yuan."

Vice Principal Nie Changkong paused for a moment and gave what he thought was a very fair evaluation.

"Superb talent!"

Silence.

Deathly silence.

A cold wind blew across the abandoned industrial zone.

Huo Zhenshan stood in place.

This National Guardian Martial Saint standing at the Peak of the Great Xia Kingdom.

At this moment, the expression on his face completely froze.

He stared fixedly at Vice Principal Nie Changkong.

His deep eyes were filled with incomprehensible absurdity.

Superb?

The corners of Huo Zhenshan's mouth twitched violently and uncontrollably.

A student at the Martial Spirit Realm.

Inside.

Was pressing down a Devil Saint whose Qi and blood exceeded ten billion.

And beating it frantically like a sandbag!

You call this superb talent?!

It's simply Heaven-Defying, alright!!!

Huo Zhenshan roared in extreme despair inside his heart.

I am a dignified Martial Saint!

The pillar defending the Great Xia Kingdom!

Even I don't have the certainty to press down a Devil Saint and beat it!

Now you're telling me one of your students did it?!

Then what am I supposed to be?!

A superb background prop?!

Huo Zhenshan took several deep breaths.

Barely suppressing the urge in his heart to slap Vice Principal Nie Changkong to death with a single palm.

He pointed at the Abyss Realm from which miserable screams were still continuously emanating.

His voice trembled violently.

"Old Nie."

"Are you sure…… he is just your student?"

Without changing his expression or missing a heartbeat,

He nodded with utmost certainty.

"Of course."

"Taught personally by this old man."

...

Meanwhile,

Inside the Abyss Realm.

The battle had entered its final stage.

The Devil Saint's massive body, towering a thousand zhang tall, was now riddled with holes.

Countless tentacles were severed at the roots, scattered all over the ground, and turned into foul-smelling black water.

Its proud Abyss black mist was evaporated clean under the terrifying high temperature of Su Yu's nine million points of Dark Gold Divine Blood.

Stifling!

Panic!

Questioning life!

In the Devil Saint's pair of massive eyes resembling blood moons, endless despair was written all over them at this moment.

What the hell kind of monster is this?!

Its physical defense could not be breached!

The opponent's Physical Body was harder than Abyss profound iron!

Abyss corruption had no effect!

The quality of the opponent's Qi and blood was ridiculously high, directly evaporating the corruption in reverse!

Mental Energy attacks were courting death even more!

With a single slash of the opponent's transparent flying knife, half of its Soul would be torn apart!

"No!!!"

The Devil Saint let out a shrill roar.

It was afraid!

As a dignified Abyss Devil Saint, it had actually given rise to uncontainable fear toward a human Martial Spirit!

Escape!

It must escape!

The Devil Saint's massive body shrank abruptly, actually attempting to forcefully tear through space and escape back to the Abyss Plane!

"Want to leave?"

Su Yu's cold voice resounded in the Void Realm.

He stood mid-air.

His silver battle armor was not stained with even a shred of grime.

In his deep and transparent eyes, murderous intent flashed violently.
