Chapter 146: Champion's Rewards, Key Figures of the Five Major Academies

"I surrender!"

Without any hesitation, Nan Shou Ren instantly admitted defeat.

Facing this pitch-black blade aura, Nan Shou Ren felt a surge strong enough to make his heart palpitate.

Within that blade aura, it seemed there was no way to block it.

Although he felt myriad regrets in his heart, Nan Shou Ren still instantly admitted defeat.

All that could be seen was the space around Nan Shou Ren slowly twisting.

Directly sent Nan Shou Ren out of the virtual world.

At this moment, in Nan Shou Ren's examination hall.

Nan Shou Ren's body trembled slightly, then he opened his eyes.

He angrily took off his helmet and smashed it to the ground.

"Damn Su Yu!"

Nan Shou Ren roared, endless anger erupting within his chest.

He deeply inhaled the air, wanting to vent the anger within his body.

But at the same time, within that anger, there was also a hint of fear.

It was fear of Su Yu's heaven-shaking blade.

That blade was enough for Nan Huai Ren to remember for a lifetime.

After a long while, Nan Huai Ren finally came to his senses, his gaze dull as he stared at everything before him.

He lost.

His defeat was utterly thorough; even with an unconventional means like sound-wave attack, under Su Yu's terrifying strength.

Still appeared so inadequate.

And at this moment, all the spectators fell silent.

They gazed at Su Yu standing atop the mountain peak.

Su Yu won.

This victory belongs to Su Yu!

Virtual world.

As Su Yu's side battle ended, Tang Nian Bing and the others also stopped fighting.

Ling Er instantly came to Su Yu's side, linking her arm with his.

"My husband is truly formidable."

Ling Er said happily.

Although Su Yu felt somewhat helpless, given Ling Er's immense strength, he no longer dwelled on it.

Instead, he slowly turned his gaze to Tang Nian Bing.

Tang Nian Bing looked at Su Yu with a complex expression.

Even she hadn't expected that, under such means, Su Yu could actually defeat Nan Shou Ren; one must say, Su Yu's strength has already entered her discernment.

You must know, as a disciple of the Northern King, Tang Nian Bing's character is extraordinarily arrogant.

In the entire northern region, few are worthy of entering Tang Nian Bing's discernment.

And the means Su Yu just displayed have already conquered this proud and tsundere woman.

"It's merely defeating a little Nan Shou Ren; at best it counts as you having some qualification, but the real battle is still the college entrance exam. I hope you won't disappoint me when the exam comes!"

Tang Nian Bing spoke down from above, somewhat tsundere.

Afterward, she directly chose to surrender and was sent away.

This had been agreed upon beforehand; she and Ling Er were originally not from the southern region, and if they took first place in the mock exam...

It would inevitably make the southerners feel displeased.

So they directly chose to surrender.

Anyway, for them, only the college entrance exam is the final decisive battle.

Mock exam...

Just playing around.

Su Yu slowly looked at the flag not far away, the scarlet flag, as if irrigated with blood, rising in the wind, fluttering unusually.

"Husband, I'm leaving too?"

"Teacher is still waiting for me in Jingdu; we'll meet at the college entrance exam!"

Ling Er's eyes narrowed into crescents, and before Su Yu could react, she planted a kiss on his face.

"Hiss!"

From the spectator seats came a series of gasps.

Many more stared at Su Yu with reddened eyes.

"Damn it, this bastard actually made my goddess take the initiative to kiss him."

"One day I'll beat him to death!"

Many who regarded Ling Er as their dream goddess shouted in protest.

Su Yu staggered, feeling the warmth on his cheek, somewhat dazed.

Ling Er lightly released her hold on Su Yu's arm, smiled, and lightly waved.

"Surrender!"

The next moment, space twisted slightly, and Ling Er was sent out of the virtual world.

Su Yu stared blankly at the empty place, falling into silence.

I don't know why, at that warm spot on the cheek.

It seemed as if ripples rose in Su Yu's heart.

After a moment, Su Yu composed himself and slowly walked to the flag's side.

He reached out and gripped the scarlet flag in his hand.

As the flag entered his hand, a mechanical sound came from his ear.

"This round's first place has been determined, all data paused..."

"Calculating now, please wait..."

After a moment, Su Yu felt the scene before his eyes slightly distort, and then he was transmitted out of the virtual world.

Immediately after, on the large screen above the spectator seats, the scores and rankings of this mock exam appeared prominently.

First place, Su Yu, 594 points!

Second place, Tang Nian Bing, 583 points!

Third place, Wu Ling'er, 5 points!

Fourth place, Nan Shou Ren, 573 points!

All the way down to the last place.

The spectators looked at first-place Su Yu's score and couldn't help but exclaim.

"No wonder he's the disciple of the Slay Dragon King; he actually got such a high score of 594—such a terrifying score, even on the college entrance exam, he could break into the top ten."

"Indeed, but it's hard to say; the third stage of the college entrance exam differs from that of the mock exam, so Su Yu might not get a perfect score on the actual exam."

"However, Su Yu's scores from the first two stages are also extraordinarily monstrous; in all of Daxia, only the two little monsters from Modu and Jingdu could compare to him."

Everyone sighed in amazement.

As the mock exam stage ended, figures appeared one after another in the firmament, each exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

Like the sun itself.

Great Sun Grand Master!

In the firmament, there were indeed six people, each undeniably an existence of the Great Sun Grand Master realm!

Their appearance stirred waves of exclamations among the spectators.

"Six Great Sun Grand Masters—could there be something else afterward?"

You should know that even in a place like Zhen'nan City, the status of a Great Sun Grand Master is extremely exalted.

What's more, this time they directly deployed six Great Sun Grand Masters.

And these six turned out to be the six martial grand masters from the Martial Arts Academy!

They stood silently in the firmament, as if waiting for something.

Soon, the third-stage assessment ended, and each heavenly pride returned to their own resting quarters.

Only the heavenly pride from Shu region, seeing their resting quarters reduced to ruins, fell into silence.

Then, indignant, they gazed at the few Great Sun Grand Masters in the firmament, wanting to ask.

As a result, it seemed they were also ignored.

Su Yu returned to the resting quarters of Jiangnan Province; upon entering, cheers erupted from the entire room.

"Su Yu, you're really amazing—you actually took first place! If this gets back to Jiangnan Province, the whole province will likely be shaken!"

Jiang Shang said with a hearty laugh.

"Yes, Su Yu, our Jiangnan Province has been at the bottom for years; this time you can be said to have led Jiangnan Province out of the rut of being last."

Around them, the instructor of the Heavenly Pride Battalion spoke excitedly.

Jiangnan Province's resources have always been scarce in the southern region, and with perennial low rankings, the resources allocated by the southern region headquarters are even less.

But this time, with Su Yu securing first place, the ranking of the Jiangnan Province team has risen by at least ten or more places.

But don't underestimate these ten or more places; each rank carries a huge difference in resources.

The gap of ten or more ranks is something Jiang Shang and the others simply couldn't have imagined.

Moreover, there are only twenty or thirty provinces in the southern region; rising ten or more ranks means Jiangnan Province could possibly charge into the top ten!

The top ten of the entire southern region!

Since the establishment of Jiangnan Province, they have never before entered that range.

For a moment, Jiang Shang and the others were excited to the extreme.

With more resources, they could cultivate more strong individuals.

Jiangnan Province has many Flying Heaven Realm experts, but as for Grand Masters, aside from Wang Wei, only Wang Long remains.

And after this mock exam, the resources obtained might allow Jiangnan Province to give birth to another Grand Master, or even two!

As instructors of the Heavenly Pride Battalion, how could they not be excited?

Inside the resting quarters, waves of cheers.

After a moment, the cheers gradually subsided. jj. br>

At this point, Su Yu was able to interject and ask.

"Chief Instructor, what's the situation with those six people in the sky?"

Su Yu was somewhat curious; logically, the mock exam had already ended, and shouldn't it just be awarding prizes, then everyone goes home to their families?

But the current situation seems somewhat special.

Jiang Shang said with a hearty laugh.

"Do you still remember what I told you before I came?"

"You mean..." Su Yu's eyes suddenly widened "the early recruitment of the Martial Arts Academy!"

Jiang Shang heartily laughed and patted Su Yu on the shoulder.

Exactly, I estimate you'll be taken a liking to!

Su Yu felt a slight joy in his heart, but he quickly calmed down.

Although he could enter the Five Great Academies, Su Yu was excited, but he still remembered one thing.

That is, the Slay Dragon King let him enter the Qianlong Academy!

Although the Qianlong Academy is a top-tier academy in Daxia, compared to the Five Great Academies, it is obviously far behind.

Although the Qianlong Academy's history is also quite glorious, it was once one of Daxia's Five Great Academies, but now...

It has completely declined.

Just as Su Yu was pondering, a sonorous voice rang out from the heavens above.

Only to see, a middle-aged man in camouflage uniform suddenly stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"Now awarding the mock exam rewards."

"First place, Su Yu!"

Upon hearing his name, Su Yu was startled, then hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the middle-aged man.

"Present!"

The middle-aged man looked at Su Yu and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Not bad, not bad, first place: reward a set of fourth-tier defensive Spiritual Artifacts, choose one fourth-tier Martial Technique, ten Golden Body Realm inner pellets, and one Flying Heaven Realm inner pellet!"

The middle-aged man quickly said.

Su Yu's eyes lit up.

With so many rewards, I'm bound to get rich!

Just as Su Yu secretly rejoiced in his heart, the middle-aged man's gentle voice sounded.

"Su Yu, would you be willing to join my First Military Academy?"
