Chapter 127: Arriving at Southern Suppressing City, the Girl in the Room

Southern Suppressing City, inside the Martial Artists Association office.

The Southern King, wearing black armor, sat at his desk, playing with a small jade slip in his hand.

His gaze was dark and unfathomable; no one knew what he was thinking.

The door to the room sounded, and a middle-aged man entered respectfully.

"Southern King, the mock examination is ready, and the Heavenly Pride from each province will soon arrive; shall we begin receiving them?"

The Southern King said lightly.

"This little matter, there's no need to tell me about it."

The middle-aged man's expression stiffened for a moment, then he spoke softly.

"This time might be a bit different; Modu and Jingdu also have a few Heavenly Pride coming to Southern Suppressing City."

The Southern King's eyes shot out a sharp light; he stopped moving his hand, slowly looked at the middle-aged man, and said.

"People from Modu and the capital? What are they here for?"

The Southern King showed a hint of interest.

You should know, the geniuses of Jingdu and Modu are all extraordinarily arrogant, with powerful figures from Daxia standing behind them, and there are not a few whose existence rivals his.

As for these little brats, the Southern King could ignore them, but he had to guess the intentions of the people behind them.

The middle-aged man hesitated a moment.

"Do they want to take part in the Southern region's mock examination?"

"Oh?"

The Southern King's brow rose slightly, and the interest on his face grew stronger.

"Taking part in the Southern region's mock examination? Somewhat interesting."

"If I'm not mistaken, people from Modu and Jingdu don't need to take the mock test; why is it different this year?"

The middle-aged man spoke slowly.

"It should be because of that disciple of the Slay Dragon King."

Saying this, the Southern King's eyes shot out another sharp light.

"Su Yu?"

"Interesting, a disciple of the Slay Dragon King actually moves the minds of so many big figures; I must say, anything related to the Slay Dragon King is never simple!"

The Southern King smiled.

"Su Yu is from Jiangnan Province, right? Go tell the Martial Artists Association there that I want Su Yu's files."

The middle-aged man showed a troubled expression.

"Southern King, this…"

The Southern King glanced lightly at the middle-aged man and said.

"How? As the grand Southern King, I can't even get the data of a Golden Body Realm cultivator?"

The middle-aged man gave a bitter laugh.

"It's not that I can't get it; rather, the Heavenly Sword King's side has already taken Su Yu's data, and to obtain Su Yu's information one must go through the Heavenly Sword King's approval."

The Southern King fell silent for a moment: "It seems Su Yu's senior brother is protecting him very well."

"Anyway, it doesn't matter; after all, I'm not the one going after Su Yu—what do the Yun family people say?"

The Southern King sighed and looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man showed a smile.

"The Yun family people said they knew and should be making arrangements."

The Southern King nodded: "That's fine; as long as it's within the rules, even the Slay Dragon King can't say anything."

The Southern King slowly rose, walked to the window, clasped his hands behind his back, and gazed leisurely at the world outside.

"What does it matter if one person wipes out a clan? His secret is something many want to know. As a human, he's bound by the rules; he wants to break free, but sadly he lacks the strength to do so!"

"The Imperial Tribulation… on the day of the Imperial Tribulation, it will be the day the Slay Dragon King perishes and his Dao vanishes!"

The Southern King gave a cold snort, his eyes deep; one could not tell what he was thinking.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man behind him bowed his waist, as if he hadn't heard the Southern King's words.

Southern Suppressing City, at the city gate.

Jiang Shang brought Su Yu and the others, hurriedly arriving at Southern Suppressing City; after passing the identity check, they entered the city.

Along the way, Du Nian Guan looked at the appearance of Southern Suppressing City and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's no wonder it's the first city of the Southern region; even if it can't compare to Jingdu and Modu, it's about the same—just its area is twice that of Jiangnan City."

Not only Du Nian Guan, but even Yang Xiao and the other Heavenly Pride of the Heavenly Pride Battalion, upon seeing this majestic city and its prosperity, couldn't help but reveal a hint of excitement in their eyes.

This feeling is like that of a true farmer entering the city for the first time; looking at new things, they are full of curiosity and excitement.

Su Yu sat in the carriage, his eyes slightly narrowed as he rested his spirit.

It seemed as if nothing could attract Su Yu.

A moment later, the carriage stopped in front of a splendid hotel; dedicated staff came forward and took down everyone's luggage.

Everyone then got out of the carriage and entered the hotel.

Those who came to take the mock examination are all the Heavenly Pride from each province; thus, for the whole Southern region, it is highly valued.

All food, drink, and necessities along the way are free.

Everyone successively received their own room key cards.

This hotel had been wholly contracted by the Martial Artists Association from the start; each person has his own room.

After returning to his room, Su Yu simply tidied up and then went to the meeting room.

Inside the meeting room, the people from Jiangnan Province all gathered.

Jiang Shang sat in the chief seat.

Everyone, tomorrow is the mock exam. Before that, I will first tell everyone about the assessment of this mock exam.

Jiang Shang's expression was somewhat solemn.

Indeed, the mock exam is really too important.

Especially this time, the person in charge of the Martial Arts Academy will be watching; if one catches their eye, it will be a meteoric rise.

Even for Su Yu, it is a great opportunity.

Therefore, before it begins, we need to make the mock exam clear; that is very necessary.

"This mock exam is divided into three stages."

"The first stage is the theory exam part; I think everyone's theory exam is about the same, basically there's nothing to say."

"The second stage tests potential and cultivation; cultivation is simple—just burst forth your cultivation, then the system, according to the settings, gives scores."

"As for potential, it is tested using the potential stone. I'm sure everyone has experienced this; there's nothing to say about it."

When Jiang Shang said this, he specifically glanced at Su Yu.

Su Yu pondered.

If it's the potential stone, then my golden talent will inevitably be exposed.

However, after thinking it over, Su Yu also felt relieved.

Anyway, my identity as the Slay Dragon King has already been exposed; I suppose many people have already been guessing my talent.

If I haven't reached the golden body talent, that would be hard to believe.

After all, as the Slay Dragon King, for my disciple not to have golden talent—how could that be possible?

After all, King Wen and the Heaven Sword King both originally had golden talent.

Moreover, the Heaven Sword King previously said that as long as I follow the rules, no one can do anything to me.

Thinking this, Su Yu also let out a sigh of relief.

Jiang Shang glanced at Su Yu, then continued speaking.

"The most important part is the third stage."

"Practical combat!"

Jiang Shang said seriously.

"In past mock exams and college entrance exams, the practical combat was either a platform-standing method or a chaotic battle in virtual space."

"I expect this mock exam's practical combat will not be far off."

"But as for whether the college entrance exam is like that, that's not something I can know."

Jiang Shang spoke at length, and the heavenly pride of Jiangnan Sheng sitting down also listened very clearly.

"The reason I say practical combat is most important is because its score proportion is the highest!"

Jiang Shang said with a solemn expression.

Everyone immediately furrowed their brows slightly, lifted their spirits, and began to listen attentively.

"Put simply, practical combat tests your combat ability; to get a high score in practical combat, you need to keep fighting. If it's platform-standing, scores vary according to the defender's strength, but if it's virtual space..."

"then you must follow the virtual space's rules. As for what the rules are, they differ each time, so we don't know either."

Jiang Shang, in one breath, spoke out the points to note for the three stages.

"Do you have any questions? If not, then go rest!"

Jiang Shang looked at everyone; seeing no one had questions, he then left the meeting room.

Su Yu saw this, also stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as he walked out of the meeting room, Su Yu's brows furrowed slightly.

A gaze swept over Su Yu's body without restraint, as if looking at prey.

Su Yu followed the direction of the gaze and saw a youth in white clothing, his face full of arrogance, looking down at Su Yu.

At that moment, Du Nian Guan behind him spoke with a solemn expression.

"Yun Xiu, the Yun family's number one genius; the Yun Qi you previously killed is this person's younger brother!"

"This person is also the number one genius of Shu Region; it is said they have condensed a supreme golden body, reaching the second transformation level."

Listening to Du Nian Guan's explanation, Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, he stared at Yun Xiu, then smiled.

"Just a second-transformation golden body; nothing worth noting."

Yun Xiu, hearing Su Yu's words, his face instantly turned grim.

"Arrogant person... when the mock exam begins, I will make you know what true cruelty is!"

"Hope you die before you meet me!"

Yun Xiu threatened at length, then slowly left.

Su Yu gave a light smile; this kind of commonplace threat....

"Totally a villain template!"

He shook his head.

"A mere second-transformation supreme golden body person is still far from being able to make Su Yu take notice."

Not taking Yun Xiu's threat to heart, Su Yu walked toward his own room.

While there is still some time, seizing the moment to cultivate is the way.

After all, raising a flawless golden body consumes an extraordinarily high amount of time and resources.

Even with the existence of the synthesis slot, Su Yu's attempt to improve is extraordinarily difficult.

However, just as Su Yu pushed open his room door, his pupils suddenly contracted.

All that could be seen was a girl in a black skirt who had appeared in his room at some unknown time.

The girl noticed Su Yu's arrival, lifting a pair of eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Are you Su Yu?"
