Chapter 12: The Furious Liu Kuang, the Envoy Descends!
"Su Yu!"
Along with Supervisor Zhou's voice ringing out, the originally noisy hall instantly fell quiet.
The two words "Su Yu" seemed to carry some kind of magical power, making everyone present involuntarily widen their eyes and stare fixedly at the white-clothed young man at the counter.
"Su Yu... could it be that young man who Chairman Liu paid unusual attention to a few days ago?"
"Yes, I also heard that a genius named Su Yu appeared in our Hengcheng a few days ago, but I never saw him in person and thought it was fake. I never expected to actually run into him today!"
"If Su Yu has shown up, doesn't that mean the record for the youngest Martial Artist in our Hengcheng has truly been broken?"
Everyone was discussing animatedly.
A few days ago, rumors had already circulated within the Martial Artists Association that a young man named Su Yu had broken a record that had stood in Hengcheng for decades, even over a century.
But since most people had never seen Su Yu, they just laughed it off.
It did not cause much of a stir in the Martial Artists Association—after all, in this day and age, there were simply too many false rumors.
Moreover, high-ranking officials of the Martial Artists Association like Liu Kuang had not come forward to confirm it, so most people assumed it was fake.
Nobody expected that today, the legendary Su Yu would actually appear.
Now, connecting it to the fact that Su Yu had wanted to see Liu Kuang earlier, there was no longer any issue.
After all, for a heaven-sent talent who had broken a record spanning over a century in Hengcheng, wanting to meet Liu Kuang wasn't asking too much, was it?
To put it bluntly, once Su Yu grew into his full potential, he would one hundred percent be able to surpass Liu Kuang.
Supervisor Zhou's breathing instantly turned rapid.
He hastily said.
"Chairman Liu told us that whenever you want to see him, there's no need for an appointment—just go straight up. Come with me!"
At this moment, Supervisor Zhou's attitude toward Su Yu had completely changed.
If earlier Supervisor Zhou had still carried a hint of playfulness, then now, he took it completely seriously.
It couldn't be helped—right now, Su Yu could be called the number one genius of Hengcheng. If he could build a good relationship with Su Yu at this time.
Once Su Yu grew into his full potential, the benefits gained would be immeasurable!
Su Yu nodded and followed Supervisor Zhou's lead, heading upstairs.
Even after Su Yu's figure disappeared from the hall, the Martial Artists Association's hall remained deathly silent.
The young woman at the counter earlier was now especially thrilled.
She took out her phone and posted a message on her social feed.
"I saw Su Yu in person today—so handsome!"
Along with a selfie of herself...
Hah, women!
A moment later, under Supervisor Zhou's guidance, Su Yu arrived at the door of Liu Kuang's office. Supervisor Zhou knocked on the office door.
Then came Liu Kuang's deep, resonant voice.
"Come in!"
With Liu Kuang's tacit approval, Supervisor Zhou then led Su Yu through the door and entered.
As soon as he entered, Su Yu saw Liu Kuang sitting imposingly on the sofa, his gaze resting on the stack of documents on the desk.
From the corner of his eye, Liu Kuang caught sight of Su Yu and immediately broke into a smile.
"What wind has blown our little genius over here!"
Saying that, he stood up to welcome Su Yu.
Watching this scene unfold, Supervisor Zhou, standing to the side, felt rather envious.
He knew that even he—as one of the several people holding the greatest power in the Martial Artists Association beneath the two chairmen—had never received such treatment from Liu Kuang.
Yet Su Yu, merely someone who had just entered the Martial Artist Realm, actually had Liu Kuang treating him this way. Even Supervisor Zhou felt a twinge of sourness.
But there was nothing to be done about it—who told Su Yu to be the youngest Martial Artist in Hengcheng in over a century?
Of course, it wasn't that Hengcheng had no geniuses. Every college entrance exam, there were still a dozen or even twenty-plus people in Hengcheng who could enter the ranks of Quasi Martial Artists.
But being able to enter the ranks of Martial Artists during the college entrance exam—in over a century of Hengcheng's history, there had never been one.
Su Yu was the first!
Seeing Liu Kuang, Su Yu finally let out a breath of relief. His expression suddenly turned serious, and he cast an almost imperceptible glance at Supervisor Zhou.
Liu Kuang noticed this small gesture, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a calm stillness.
Liu Kuang placed his hands behind his back and said evenly.
"Don't worry, Supervisor Zhou is my man. Whatever it is, just say it freely!"
With Liu Kuang's words, Su Yu finally let out a breath of relief.
Actually, one couldn't blame Su Yu for being cautious—the Li Clan Group simply carried too much weight in Hengcheng.
Moreover, Li Tianhe himself was a Martial Artist of the Blood Refining Realm, ranked among Hengcheng's pinnacle experts.
Getting the Martial Artists Association to take action against Li Tianhe would indeed be very difficult.
Furthermore, who could guarantee that there wasn't anyone within the Martial Artists Association on good terms with the Li Clan Group?
Although Su Yu had the Synthesis Slot and his future growth was only a matter of time, right now, Su Yu was merely a nobody.
It was only natural for him to be somewhat cautious.
Then, Su Yu recounted how Li Long had brought three Qi Blood Realm Martial Artists from the Li Clan Group and orchestrated an ambush to kill him.
"... That's how things happened."
After Su Yu finished recounting the course of events, he noticed that Liu Kuang's face had already turned livid.
Boom!
Liu Kuang slammed a fist onto the desk, and the hard table instantly split with crack after crack.
It seemed as if a breeze could easily blow apart this crack-riddled table.
Supervisor Zhou beside him also furrowed his brows, his expression extremely grim.
"Li Clan Group..."
Liu Kuang took a deep breath, laughing furiously.
"Good, a tiny clan, relying on being a Blood Refining Realm martial artist, dares to cast aside the Martial Artists Association's rules, huh!"
"Zhou Wen!"
Liu Kuang let out a loud shout.
"Take the other supervisors and bring Li Tianhe back to me!"
Supervisor Zhou's expression turned grave; having worked beside Liu Kuang for many years, he naturally sensed Liu Kuang's anger, and without hesitation, he spoke directly.
"Yes!"
Saying that, he walked out of Liu Kuang's office.
Su Yu looked at Liu Kuang in surprise, hesitated a moment, and said.
"President Liu, the Li Clan Group's influence in Hengcheng is still too deep; such action, won't it..."
Su Yu was still a bit worried, but upon hearing Liu Kuang's following words, all his doubts were instantly dispelled.
All that could be heard was Liu Kuang speaking domineeringly.
"A tiny Li Clan Group, even if its roots run deep, how could it compare to the depth of our Martial Artists Association? Not to mention a tiny Li Clan Group, even if all the clans in Hengcheng combined, as long as they violate the Martial Artists Association's iron law, I, Liu Kuang, dare to act the same!"
Such domineering words made Su Yu feel somewhat stirred with heroic fervor.
Just as Su Yu was preparing to take his leave, he heard Liu Kuang's voice continue.
"Right, prepare these few days; a big shot will come later; whether you can seize this opportunity is up to you!"
