Chapter 135: Third Stage Begins, Fury Heaven Sword King

As time passed, the discussion of Su Yu taking first place remained heated.

Even in the Martial Artists Association, those responsible for the academies continued to argue about Su Yu's affiliation.

After all, the strength Su Yu displayed was too terrifying.

Golden talent, immaculate golden body.

Either one made the heads of the five great academies burn with enthusiasm.

Possessing either one of these represents endless potential.

For a while, the arguments in the Martial Artists Association rose and fell; even though the South King sat here, he could barely suppress them.

Simply, the South King left the room, waiting for them to finish arguing before coming back in.

Half an hour later, the burly old man from before descended from the sky again, and the cultivation of a Great Sun Grand Master erupted instantly.

"Silence!"

The voice of a Great Sun Grand Master powerhouse directly drowned out the voices of all spectators present.

Moreover, that faint pressure.

Further causing everyone to quiet down.

The old man swept his gaze over the crowd and spoke lightly.

"The third-stage test begins now."

"Please, examinees, proceed to the examination hall and enter the virtual space!"

Along with the sounding of this voice.

Su Yu, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them.

A beam of bright light shot out from Su Yu's eyes.

If one were to ask which stage Su Yu most looked forward to, there is no doubt it would be the third stage.

Starting from tempering the immaculate golden body, Su Yu has never yet tested his limits.

Although his cultivation is merely the peak of the second revolution, combined with the Devil-Swallowing Heart Technique and Demon-Slaying Blade Technique, Su Yu's combat power is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

Su Yu estimated that even against an ordinary eighth-revolution golden body expert, he would still have a fighting chance.

As for immaculate golden body cultivators of the same realm, Su Yu feels no fear whatsoever.

Even against a third-revolution immaculate golden body, Su Yu can still fight!

As for the fourth revolution...

there is still a chance!

Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly; he left his seat and walked toward his own examination hall.

On the other side, in the Shu resting room.

Yun Rong placed a black pill onto Yun Xiu's palm and said lightly.

"This Burst Spirit Pill can be taken into the virtual world; if you get a chance to meet Su Yu, take it immediately and slay him!"

Yun Xiu raised her head and looked at Yun Rong.

Yun Rong's expression was somewhat ferocious; he whispered in Yun Xiu's ear.

"Su Yu must die; if Su Yu does not die, our entire Yun family cannot escape his revenge. Only his death gives the Yun family a sliver of hope!"

Hearing Yun Rong's words, a strange smile flickered across Yun Xiu's delicate face.

He took the Burst Spirit Pill and said lightly.

"Rest assured, Uncle Yun Rong; Su Yu is already my prey—this time he will surely die!"

Only then did Yun Rong rest assured and hand the Burst Spirit Pill to Yun Xiu.

To be honest, Yun Rong still has confidence in Yun Xiu; although Su Yu is a second-revolution immaculate golden body, on the golden body level he can suppress Yun Xiu's ultimate golden body.

But don't forget, Yun Xiu is a fifth-revolution ultimate golden body; even against a third-revolution immaculate golden body, she still has a fighting chance.

Moreover, with the Burst Spirit Pill as a trump card, even if Su Yu breaks through to a third-revolution immaculate golden body, he can still be slain.

Thinking of this, a gleam of satisfaction flashed in Yun Rong's eyes.

Afterward, Yun Xiu headed toward her own examination hall.

In the examination hall, Su Yu sat in his seat and put on the virtual helmet.

Instantly, the scene before him twisted slightly; when it reappeared, Su Yu found himself standing before a forest.

Su Yu raised his head and gazed into the distance.

He saw that beyond the forest lay mountain after mountain, piercing the clouds.

Above the clouds, a flag seemed to stand silently atop the peaks.

This is, a mechanical-sounding voice rang in Su Yu's ears.

"Attention, examinees, the third-stage practical test officially begins!"

"The content of this practical test is divided into two parts; the first part is mutual slaughter among examinees, and the victor shall obtain all points from the loser."

"The second stage awards points based on survival time, with a full score of three hundred points; only whoever reaches the highest point of the mountain can obtain the full three hundred points."

"Between the forest and the mountains, there are virtual myriad-race powerhouses and ferocious beasts; examinees preparing to seize the flag, please be careful!"

Hearing the voice's explanation, Su Yu roughly understood the rules of this test.

"Please note, in this practical test, if one falls in the virtual space, the same happens in reality; if unable to prevail, examinees should choose to forfeit, to avoid unnecessary death."

Upon hearing this sentence, Su Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

This examination actually carries a risk of death!

For a moment, Su Yu's body hair stood on end.

Not only Su Yu, but even the spectators outside were shocked.

"What? There's actually a risk of death? This is the first time a simulated exam has ever had this!"

"Too cruel, right? These are all the heavenly talents of our southern region; if any accident occurs, that would be a loss for our southern region!"

"Sigh, haven't you looked carefully? You can admit defeat, right? As long as you don't win, just concede when the time comes, can't you?"

At this moment, in the resting room of Jiangnan Sheng, Jiang Shang suddenly stood up, his face looking somewhat grim.

"What! There's even a danger of death! What the hell is going on with this mock exam!"

Jiang Shang has participated in the mock exam more than once; he has led the team countless times, yet now he is told that the mock exam actually carries a deadly risk.

This is unprecedented.

For a moment, Jiang Shang felt as if a pair of big hands were controlling this mock exam.

At the same time, somewhere in the Martial Artists Association.

Heaven Sword King gazed gloomily at the screen before him, and there, plainly visible, was the content of the mock exam.

From the screen, a voice kept sounding.

As the voice sounded,

Heaven Sword King's aura grew increasingly terrifying, to the point that the surrounding space seemed to faintly warp under this pressure.

"Southern King!"

Heaven Sword King practically gritted his teeth as he uttered the name Southern King.

"You're practically asking for death!"

Heaven Sword King's face flashed with a murderous glint, and he instantly vanished from the office.

Earlier he had told Su Yu that as long as they stayed within the rules, Su Yu would be safe, but Heaven Sword King hadn't expected that.

That fellow Southern King actually dares to openly abuse his power like this.

This is no longer aimed at Su Yu alone; they intend to utterly crush him in the evaluation!
