Tribulation of Myriad Races

Only a short time had passed since Su Yu first stepped into the ring until the time when a crippled Zheng Yuming was brought away by Zhou Mingren. The crowd wasn\'t even given the time to digest all that.

A ninth-stage Cloudbreach and a first-stage Mountainsea had made a move. Even Wan Tiansheng had made a move.

A brand new elder like Zheng Yuming was instantly defeated, receiving serious injuries in the process. Everyone was shocked to see how strong Wan Tiansheng was. But everyone was also surprised at how decisive he was.

He had seriously injured Zheng Yuming without any hesitation. Zheng Yuming hadn\'t even gotten the chance to actually attack before he was already defeated. The powerful aura receded as both Wan Tiansheng and Zhou Mingren left.

Chen Yong\'s scalp was going numb from the sheer number of elders scanning him so he gestured at Su Yu to meet later at the books depository before dragging Wu Jia away. He was afraid he would be driven mad by all the willpower concentrated on him if he stayed there any longer.

He really hadn\'t deliberately misled the principal and made it look like Zheng Yuming was attacking a student. He was an honest man through and through!

He had no choice but to leave. That was because that one sentence mentioning that Zheng Yuming might only be here to collect Huang Qifeng was truly too troubling for him.

Everything was finally over.

Both the students and teachers present decided to completely neglect what they just saw. Anything involving several Mountainsea and Cloudbreach cultivators would not be as simple as it seemed. Since they didn\'t know what was actually happening behind the scenes, it wouldn\'t be proper for them to say anything.

Thus, they all returned their focus to Su Yu. Everything that had happened earlier seemed somewhat complicated. Su Yu himself was also greatly shocked by all that. But he did not have the time to think about that. He suddenly recalled a certain term: The fox grieves when the rabbit dies.

He was worried that Zheng Yuming\'s fate would generate some sympathy and attract even more trouble for the multiple character faction. Some elders might even start resenting the multiple character faction because of that.

Without even thinking about it, he instinctively put on a show. His face turned pale and he started sweating profusely. He was also kneeling on one knee, looking like an innocent child who had just been frightened greatly.

Yes. He had just been frightened by the powerful presence of a Mountainsea. He had been subjected to an incredibly intense killing intent. The multiple character faction was the victim here. He was the victim here. The principal had only moved to uphold the rules.

He looked rather sorry. But not one of the students felt like it was shameful for him to behave that way. Some became even more convinced that Su Yu\'s life was in danger earlier. Elder Zheng had obviously gone crazy! For the sake of a single student, he had actually broken the academy rules. If it wasn\'t for Chen Yong, Su Yu would have probably been reduced into a corpse by now.

The little sympathy they felt for Zheng Yuming vanished completely. A single thought appeared in all their minds. The academy rules must not be broken!

The moment the rules were broken, even genius students could be killed by those elders as they wished. In that situation, would the academy still be a place they could put their trust on?

Could any student still challenge the Top 100 Ranking without worry? Everyone would just use their backers to compete instead of their own strength.

This involved everyone\'s benefits, including the descendants and students of those Mountainsea cultivators. Everyone needed to obey the rules. The rules did not exist for the sake of restricting them. Instead, the rules were there to protect them.

Even those from the single character faction understood that in the academy, they must follow the rules. After all, the rules could be the only thing protecting their lives at times.

If Zheng Yuming was allowed to attack Su Yu today, then when Hong Tan returned in the future, he would also be able to attack the students of the single character faction. Thus, these rules could not be broken or everyone would suffer.

At that thought, many even started rejoicing that the principal had made a move. Had Elder Zheng...gone mad from cultivation deviation or something? After all, that was quite common in the academy.

Many of them were thinking the same thing, but someone actually voiced that concern, "Did...Elder Zheng\'s cultivation went wrong? Was he suffering from a cultivation deviation?"

It didn\'t matter if that was the case. Even if that wasn\'t everyone would agree that it was the actual reason. Otherwise, the fact that an elder had attempted to attack a student would have massive ramifications.

And if he hadn\'t intended to attack yet Wan Tiansheng had attacked him, the ramifications would be massive as well. Thus, the only truth everyone could accept was that he had suffered from cultivation deviation.

Suddenly, the voice of an elder rang out, "Elder Zheng Yuming encountered some issues during his cultivation, resulting in the destabilization of his sea of willpower. The principal has punished him for his action and helped him calm his mental state. This matter ends here."

That was all the speaker said. And this was the best explanation for everything that had happened. Regardless of the actual truth, that would be the official truth. Countless people were relieved to hear those words. Regardless of whether that was true, everyone felt much better. Many students couldn\'t help but to nod in agreement.

"So he was suffering from cultivation deviation? No wonder. The path of cultivation is truly dangerous. Not even Mountainsea cultivators are immune to cultivation deviation."

"Yeah. I really couldn\'t understand why he did that, but now I know why. I wish Elder Zheng a speedy recovery."

Everyone started offering Elder Zheng their well wishes.

At that moment, Su Yu started slowly standing up.

Looking at the unconscious Huang Qifeng, he said nothing. He turned to face Zhao Ming and said, "Teacher, maybe you should give him a treatment? It wouldn\'t be good if he really ends up dying."

Zhao Ming glanced at Su Yu speechlessly. Was the kid not ashamed of saying that? The kid was so ferocious in the fight that even Zhao Ming himself was greatly frightened. Just what was going on today. He had been shocked several times in a role. Even someone like him was finding it unbearable.

He didn\'t say anything and released a ray of white light from his hand. The white light landed on Huang Qifeng and instantly stopped his bleeding. The bones within his body also started fixing themselves.

But with a damaged willpower, even after healing his physical injuries, Huang Qifeng would still end up bedridden for a few months. His injuries were even more serious than Wu Jia\'s.

Zhao Ming looked at Su Yu. This kid had clearly repaid Huang Qifeng for everything his senior sister had suffered.

He really wondered if it was a blessing or a disaster for the multiple character faction to receive a student like this. After today, the single character faction would finally start paying attention to this kid for real. Even more big shows were going to unfold in the future.

Huang Qifeng was merely a student near the bottom of the ranking. The single character faction still had more students with higher ranks in the ranking. They even had someone in the top 10.

Su Yu walked off the ring.

As for Huang Qifeng, he was carried off by a Cloudbreach cultivator from the single character faction. This time, the cultivator had not unleashed his aura. He didn\'t even spare Su Yu a glance. After all, Zheng Yuming had just been taught a lesson a moment ago. Who knew if something similar would happen if he flew over while releasing his aura?

The single and multiple character factions had been at odds for many years. This time, the single character faction was the one to suffer a defeat. Their genius student had been heavily injured. Their elder had been heavily injured as well. The principal himself had made the move. Nobody knew if the principal was merely upholding the rules or was actually warning them.

They had also noticed that the principal seemed a tad bit too terrifying. They were both supposed to be fellow Mountainsea cultivators. Sure, one was a fresh Mountainsea while the other was at the peak. But the gap between them really seemed too big. Zheng Yuming had been crippled before he could even open his mouth.

"Su Yu!"

Some people were still thinking about all that had happened. Meanwhile some people had completely tossed the little episode involving the principal out of their minds.

Wan Mingze stepped forth with a soaring battle intent. His shout attracted the attention of many people.

"You\'re very strong." Wan Mingze said, "But people like us won\'t fear your strength. We will only hope that you can be even stronger. Only then would you fill us with more fighting spirit."

Wan Mingze was no longer trying to maintain a low profile. He leaped into the ring.

"Senior ranked 93rd, please accept my challenge."

Zheng Yunhui was the one occupying the 91st place. Wang Peng, his defeated opponent, occupied the 92nd place.

Since Wang Peng had been defeated once today, Wan Mingze did not wish to challenge him. Thus, he aimed for the student holding the next position.

Wan Mingze declared, "Since the students of batch 350 are already starting to challenge the ranking, I wish to take this chance to experience the strength of my kind seniors as well."

Within the crowd.

Su Yu looked at Wan Mingze silently.

This fellow was finally making a move.

On one hand, Wang Mingze\'s fighting spirit had been triggered by Su Yu\'s strength. On the other hand, he was also trying to divert everyone\'s attention from the earlier incident. As a member of the Wan Family, it was his duty to step forth and do what he could to weaken whatever ramifications that might arise from Wan Tiansheng\'s action.

The student ranked 93rd was present. At this point, he no longer dared to underestimate Wan Mingze. New students were weak? What a joke.

Su Yu had defeated the ranked 71st Huang Qifeng without even breaking a sweat. His true strength was probably at the level of a top 50 student. Was that weak?

"Fine. Let\'s exchange pointers, Junior Brother Wan."

Then, a man entered the ring. He didn\'t dare to underestimate this opponent. The moment he entered the ring, he summoned his cultural weapon, unleashed his willpower, and activated his acupoints.

Even Zhao Ming couldn\'t help but to be amazed by the strength of the new students. The students of this batch...were going to start a storm that would engulf the entire academy.

The new students of this batch had done nothing major for the past two months. Although there were a lot of freaks in this batch, the public was not too bothered about them. But after today, who would still dare to underestimate them?

"Match, start."

Wan Mingze\'s willpower and Divine Characters erupted.

Three second tier Divine Characters were activated at the same time. Most people were unaware of how powerful his characters were, but Su Yu was once a victim of those characters.

Wan Mingze\'s opponent was just about to make a move when his sea of willpower trembled. His willpower had been sealed.

Alarmed, he pushed his acupoints and tried to break free from the seal. But Wan Mingze was absolutely not to be underestimated when he was using all his strength.

All 84 of his acupoints lit up.

Seventh-stage Great Strength Realm!

At the exact moment his opponent\'s willpower was sealed, he took out a small knife and instantly arrived near his opponent. Then, he started swinging his knife at his opponent.

Popping sounds rang out.

One acupoint after another was cut open, leaking the source qi within. Wan Mingze had discovered the weakness of his opponent and had taken the chance to damage the weakest acupoints of his opponent.

With that action, his opponent lost almost half his source qi. That shook his sea of willpower, allowing Wan Mingze to complete the seal over it. The opponent collapsed weakly onto the ground. With his entire sea of willpower sealed, he could only blink his eyes. Even talking felt impossible for him.

"Thank you for the match."

Wan Mingze helped the opponent up and removed the seal apologetically.

That person had a pale expression. With the damage to his acupoints, he would need to spend some time in recovery. Of course, he would still be able to recover faster than someone who had sustained willpower injuries. Nevertheless, his defeat had still been very miserable.

"Junior Brother Wan...incredible."

He spoke with a bitter tone. He didn\'t even have the chance to make a single move during the match. Just what was wrong with this batch?

The first student who had fought, Zheng Yunhui, was actually the weakest among the ones who had fought today. Prior to this, there was Su Yu and his astonishing victories. Then, there was Wan Mingze and his easy victory over a top 100 student. Just what was going on?

At this point, all the students had completely forgotten about the earlier incident. Mountainsea cultivators felt too far away for people like them. The affairs involving the Top 100 Ranking, on the other hand, felt more relatable to them.
