Chapter 93 Junior Brother Su, don't go!

Chapter 93 Junior Brother Su, don't go!

After Qin Yu left, the room returned to silence.

A single lamp cast a dim, yellowish light on the table. Su Yu unfolded the scroll of intelligence filled with names, his expression grave.

This battle for the top ten is a contest among the strongest young people in the outer city of Blackrock City.

I never imagined I'd end up like this!

However, the situation is both clear and brutal.

Cui Wanhe, Sun Yan, Dai Xing.

These three were like three towering mountains, blocking the way for all the contestants. Their strength was overwhelmingly superior, and according to established rules, they would not be drawn to meet in the first match.

"The top three spots are already decided." Su Yu knew this in his heart. "If I am unlucky enough to be drawn into one of these three groups, I will have no choice but to temporarily avoid confrontation."

So, there are only two chances left.

Su Yu's gaze shifted downwards, landing on two names, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Sun Shi, Liu Li.

"According to Qianjilou's predictions, fourth and fifth place are the strongest and most promising candidates!"

Su Yu pictured Sun Shi's seemingly simple-minded face.

After mastering the Nine Revolutions Iron Armor Technique through a single acupoint cultivation, he displayed exceptional strength in the second stage of the Iron Chain Across the River competition.

As for Liu Li, he is the young master of the Liu family, a powerful and wealthy family in the outer city. He has never lacked resources since childhood, and his cultivation has already been honed to the peak of the first acupoint.

In terms of resources and background alone, this person is even superior to Sun Shi!

As for me—

Su Yu couldn't help but smile as he looked at the brief comment about himself at the end of the intelligence report.

"Su Yu, a dark horse in the martial arts examination. His hidden weapon skills are extremely strong and pose a great threat. However, the use of hidden weapons is limited in arena battles, and his foundation is still shallow. If he were to abandon hidden weapons, his strength might not be able to compete with Sun Yan and Liu Li."

The final day of the martial arts examination.

A fierce wind howled high above the platform.

Pang Xuan, clad in heavy armor, stood like an iron tower, his gaze sweeping over the dark mass of people below before finally settling on the white-clad youth beside him.

"Young Master Zhao."

Pang Xuan's voice was deep and cold, carrying a chilling, almost menacing tone: "Now that the martial arts examination is over, it's time to clean up the mess outside the city. Millions of mouths in Blackstone City are waiting to be fed; trade routes are cut off, and morale is low. Your three great families—shouldn't you be ready by now?"

Zhao Longge sat upright on a chair covered with brocade. Upon hearing this, he slightly raised his eyelids, and a smile flashed in his phoenix eyes: "Commander Pang, rest assured, now that I am here, I will definitely lend a hand."

"good!"

A glint flashed in Pang Xuan's eyes. "Since Young Master Zhao is so generous, then on behalf of all the people of this city, I thank you all!"

'

Having said that, Pang Xuan suddenly stood up and strode to the front of the stage.

"boom!"

He didn't make any deliberate moves, but his battle-hardened aura instantly spread out, and the martial arts arena, which was originally as noisy as a vegetable market, fell silent in an instant.

Thousands of eyes were fixed on him.

"Gentlemen!"

Pang Xuan focused his energy in his dantian, his voice booming like a bell. With the boost of his vital energy, each word resounded like thunder in everyone's ears: "Before the martial arts examination, I, the commander, must announce something. There is strange unrest outside the city, bandits are rampant, and the trade routes of Black Stone City are cut off, making rice and firewood extremely scarce!"

"I have already forged an alliance with the three major families. Today, as the martial arts examination concludes, we will begin sweeping through the areas outside the city to quell the unrest!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd began to discuss them.

"The Blackrock Army and the three major families are finally about to make their move. The area outside the city is far too dangerous now. If we don't deal with it soon, Blackrock City itself may be in danger."

"It should have been done a long time ago. Nowadays, caravans and security escorts often encounter danger when they go out, let alone ordinary people. How can they possibly survive?"

"Yeah, yeah, my family's martial arts school can't even recruit many people anymore. People outside the city can't even survive, so where would they get the money to enroll in martial arts classes?"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Pang Xuan knew that the grudges had been brewing for a long time. Fortunately, this time the three major families joined forces, so supplies were no longer a problem.

Now that the Black Lotus Cult is powerful and the Black Stone Army has suffered repeated defeats, Black Stone City must not be allowed to fall into danger!

"Alright, now I declare the martial arts competition officially open!"

"Match 1: Cui Wanhe vs. Chen Fan!"

"The second match is between Sun Yan and Wei An!"

"The third match is between Dai Xing and Yi Xiangwan!"

"Match 4: Su Yu vs. Sun Shi!"

'

'

As the referee called out the names, everyone at the White Ape Martial Arts School felt a collective unease.

Qin Fangqiong crushed the orange peel in his hand, splashing juice all over his hand. His face darkened, and he tossed the peel on the ground, muttering, "Bad luck!"

Chen Fan's broken arm meant that although he made it into the top ten, it was practically the same as forfeiting. It was alright that he drew Cui Wanhe's name.

But Su Yu—originally, there was still hope that he could break into the top five!

Now they've run into Sun Shi, and they even have a grudge against each other. If they really end up on the stage, the odds are against them!

Qin Fangqiong made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice, "Su Yu, forfeit."

"You've already secured the position of squad leader in the enforcement team, and you've also won the top ten reward. There's no need to risk your life against Sun Shi for a vague top-five finish. If you damage your foundation, it won't be worth it."

Everyone looked at Su Yu, waiting for him to nod; this was the most rational choice.

However, Su Yu remained calm and shook his head. "Master, let me give it a try. I have confidence in Sun Shi."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression immediately turned to surprise.

Qin Yu, standing nearby, grew anxious. Her red robes flashed, and she instantly stepped in front of Su Yu, her eyebrows furrowed. "Junior Brother Su, don't act rashly. With your potential, your future is limitless. If you force your way into a fight with Sun Shi now, and he uses dirty tricks on you, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

Lin Wanzhu stepped forward and gently advised, "Junior Brother Su, listen to your master. You've already gained enough fame and fortune this time."

Senior Brother Qi Linfeng, Jiang Liuchuan, and others also spoke up to dissuade him.

Yang Zhen bit her lip, her eyes filled with worry; Yang Ai was so anxious she was about to cry.

Su Yu sighed helplessly, knowing that Chen Fan's injury during the match had made everyone extremely worried that he might follow in Chen Fan's footsteps.

However, he had not yet revealed his proficient Thunderclap Step, while Sun Shi's strength had been fully ascertained.

If we were to actually face off against them, our chances of winning would be even greater.

Besides, if all else fails, he can just use the heavy water tungsten coins. Everyone assumed that he couldn't use hidden weapons on the stage because he didn't use them.

In fact, with his perfected coin tossing technique, he could use it flexibly even at close range, and with the heavy water tungsten coin, its power was still terrifying!

It's just that the heavy water tungsten gold was too ruthless, so it was used as a trump card.

If Sun Shi really wants to go all out against me, then I shouldn't blame myself!

Before we knew it, the first three matches had ended.

No doubt about it.

Faced with three formidable opponents—Cui Wanhe, Sun Yan, and Dai Xing—the three directly forfeited their matches.

The audience booed loudly, their faces filled with disappointment.

"That's it? That's so boring!"

Just then, the referee shouted, "Fourth match, Su Yu versus Sun Shi!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, a sinister smile appeared on Sun Shi's face, startling those who knew him.

This guy always had a goofy grin when he did bad things, why is he suddenly not pretending anymore?

"Sizzle—!"

A crisp sound of tearing fabric.

Within the Ironclad Martial Arts School's ranks, Sun Shi ripped off his upper garment, revealing muscles as hard as granite. His blood and qi surged, and billowing white steam rose from his body, making him resemble a ferocious beast that had just awakened.

"Thump!"

He stepped onto the edge of the ring, used the momentum to leap, and crashed heavily into the center of the ring like a meteorite, causing the ground to tremble.

"Su Yu!"

Sun Shi's eyes were bloodshot, and a ferocious smile spread across his face as he pointed at Su Yu below the stage and roared, "Don't hide like a coward! Get up here! I'm going to crush your bones one by one!!!"

The audience erupted in cheers.

"Here it comes! Finally, someone tough to mess with!"

"This Sun Shi is truly insane! His eyes look like he wants to devour you!"

"Hehe, Su Yu won by using hidden weapons before, but this time on the arena, he's probably going to get smashed into mincemeat by Sun Shi." The atmosphere at the White Ape Martial Arts Hall was extremely tense.

Everyone was furious at Sun Shi's arrogance. However, they also knew that this was a provocation from Sun Shi, and they were even more worried that Su Yu would act rashly.

Before anyone could dissuade him again, Su Yu calmly stepped onto the arena.

"Junior Brother Su, don't go!" Qin Yu was really anxious and stepped forward to pull Su Yu back.

Su Yu turned her head and looked at her senior sister, who was usually arrogant and domineering but was now filled with anxiety.

Her voice was gentle and steady as she said, "Senior Sister, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

His calm and gentle words, along with his deep and serene gaze, instantly quieted Qin Yu down. Thinking of Su Yu's previous behavior, she inexplicably retreated.

"Um?"

Qin Fangqiong, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, forgetting to eat the freshly peeled orange in her hand.

He knew his daughter's temperament best; she was usually impulsive and somewhat domineering.

Aside from herself and a few senior brothers who were stronger than her, who would occasionally offer a word of advice, she ignored everyone else.

Based on her usual temperament, she should have forcibly pulled Su Yu back by now, or even used her senior sister status to take a hard line if Su Yu didn't listen.

How come I was actually calmed down by Su Yu's words today?

How strange!

Qin Fangqiong squinted her old eyes and re-examined the figure that was walking step by step toward the arena.

With a calm and composed gait and deep, even breathing, he remained unperturbed, as if a gentle breeze were caressing his face, in the face of the domineering Sun Shi.

"Xu Feng said that Su Yu's temperament is the best, and I originally thought it was an exaggeration. But now it seems to be true."

Upon realizing this, he was suddenly startled.

Since Su Yu is not a reckless person, does he really have the ability to defeat Sun Shi?
