Chapter 136: The Humble Southern King

Heaven Sword King's expression was grim, his form flickering.

He had already arrived inside the Southern King's office.

At this moment, the Southern King sat alone in the office; the previous conference room had been too noisy, and his mood was already sour.

So he went straight back to the office.

Seeing Heaven Sword King appear, the Southern King's face grew even more grim.

He gazed lightly at Heaven Sword King and said,

"As the head of the Combat Department, you don't consider the threat to the myriad races—why are you in my office?"

Heaven Sword King let out a cold laugh.

"I don't care about the myriad races. I tell you, Southern—if my junior brother runs into any danger, you, the Southern King, should give up your position. Don't think *** can't surface; even if *** can't surface, my senior brother and teacher can handle it!"

The Southern King squinted, a dangerous look flashing across his face.

"Are you threatening me?"

Heaven Sword King continued with a cold laugh, "Threaten? I'm threatening you right now. I've finally got a junior brother; if he loses even a single hair, will you see if I dare stir up war in the southern region?"

The Southern King suddenly felt a surge of fury; after all, he was the king of the southern region, while Heaven Sword King, though a sealed king, was inferior in both cultivation and power.

He was still not on par with him, and now he dared speak to him like that.

A ferocious aura surged from the Southern King's body, and behind him, phantom silhouettes began to appear.

"Heaven Sword King, I'm giving you a face!"

The Southern King roared, as if to crush Heaven Sword King outright.

Who could have known? Heaven Sword King, fearless of heaven and earth, produced a badge bearing an Azure Dragon coiling and soaring through the heavens.

If Su Yu were here, he would surely recognize that the badge before him was exactly the same as the one Slay Dragon King had given him!

The Southern King's complexion changed dramatically the instant he saw the badge, and he hurriedly suppressed his aura.

"What are you trying to do? Threaten me with Slay Dragon King?"

The Southern King growled low, fear filling his eyes.

Although he outwardly claimed he wasn't afraid of Slay Dragon King, how many on the Continent of Myriad Races truly aren't?

That person is a ruthless one who could slaughter an entire race over a single disagreement.

Someone like that isn't even restrained by the highest authority.

Heaven Sword King sneered.

"I'm making it clear to you: my teacher already knows your little tricks. Misusing authority to tamper with a major event like the simulation exam—Southern King, prepare for the top's accountability!"

"Don't think that keeping a fallback will spare you from accountability. I want to see whether those immortal tops will offend my teacher on your behalf!"

The Southern King's expression shifted again, clouded and unsettled, his thoughts unreadable.

Heaven Sword King said no more, turned and left, but before departing he left a remark.

"You'd better pray that my junior brother encounters no trouble; if he does, the South family should prepare for annihilation!"

Having said that, he vanished inside the Southern King's office.

When Heaven Sword King left, the Southern King finally erupted in full anger.

"Damn it, even the lowliest dare to provoke me!"

The Southern King growled low, a blue vein bulging on his face.

He braced both hands on the desk, his gaze extremely shadowed.

"Someone, come!"

The Southern King growled again.

At once, a middle-aged man slowly emerged from the twisted space.

The man, upon appearing, bowed his head and said,

"Here!"

The Southern King growled, "Tell those foolish Yun family members that if Su Yu gets into trouble, the Yun family must take responsibility themselves, and hand over all evidence for me to destroy!"

The middle-aged man was startled, then without further thought, slowly vanished inside the office.

When the middle-aged man left, the Southern King seemed to lose all strength, staring at the screen.

"Su Yu..."

"I never expected that I would dig a huge pit on you..."

Having said that, the Southern King reclined in a lounge chair, closed his eyes, as if drifting into sleep.

At this moment, in the virtual world,

Su Yu's expression was somewhat grim.

The rules of this simulation exam were a bit off.

They could actually cause death in reality.

For some reason, Su Yu felt a lingering unease.

As if someone was specifically targeting him.

Su Yu lifted his head, glanced at the sky dome, then shook his head.

"Enough, all conspiracies are powerless before strength."

"I want to see what methods you have prepared!"

Su Yu clenched his fists, glanced at the red banner atop a distant peak, instantly became an afterimage, and surged into the forest.

Meanwhile, all the examinees, after understanding the rules, poured into the forest.

The rule this time was simple: see who could endure the longest, and then get as close to the peak as possible.

Also, slaying Myriad Races and Ferocious Beasts earned points according to one's cultivation level.

After finally obtaining the red flag atop the mountain peak, one could become the sole perfect scorer of this practical combat test.

For a moment, everyone stirred their aura.

They all surged toward the mountain peak's location; although obtaining the flag wasn't that simple, what if they were the first to arrive?

With this mindset, the crowd frantically rushed toward the mountain peak.

The forest is huge, and moreover, everyone was randomly teleported, making it hard for the examinees to meet each other.

Thus, the greatest threat lies in the forest: the powerful beings of the myriad races and the ferocious beasts.

Basically, if the examinees wanted to meet, they could only do so around the mountain peak, because that is the sole path leading up to it!

Su Yu, expressionless, galloped in the forest.

The forest is vast; even with Su Yu's cultivation, it would take him an hour or two to get from the outskirts to the peak.

And that doesn't even count the troubles along the way.

For example...

Su Yu's eyes twitched slightly; the figure that had been galloping straight ahead suddenly flickered.

The next moment, an arrow feather shot from deep within the forest, striking the spot where Su Yu had just been.

A hint of killing intent surfaced on Su Yu's face; golden light instantly flooded his arm.

"I found you!"

Su Yu exerted a slight force with his feet, and like a car launching from a standstill, he instantly shot toward the direction the arrow had come from.

All that could be seen was a green-skinned foreign race appearing in Su Yu's field of vision.

Upon seeing Su Yu, the foreign race's complexion drastically changed.

It tried to flee, but the foreign race at most had late-stage Organ Tempering Realm cultivation; even back when Su Yu was at the Organ Tempering Realm, he had been invincible in organ tempering.

Let alone now.

Snorting coldly, Su Yu threw a punch.

Such an ordinary punch directly shattered that foreign race's skull.

Blood sprayed across the ground.

And on the panel visible only to Su Yu.

His points quietly increased by one.
