Chapter 167: One Punch Instant Kill, Obtaining Team Qualification!

I wonder if that squad leader would be willing to give some pointers?

Su Yu smiled slightly and looked toward the several squad leaders ahead.

According to Chen Xingyu, to become an independent squad, one must defeat one of the squad leaders.

Moreover, becoming an independent squad yields a very generous amount of points.

Therefore, being able to form an independent squad is naturally the best scenario.

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room.

In the feed belonging to Su Yu, countless viewers watched intently.

Yo, Su Yu actually wants to form an independent squad.

Indeed, within twenty-four hours, to earn as many points as possible, forming an independent squad gives the highest return, but it's also extremely dangerous.

That's right, an independent squad means they have no veteran guidance, operating alone in the Abyssal Battlefield; without sufficient experience, they will surely suffer a fierce onslaught from the myriad races.

A group of viewers chattered in disagreement.

But can they actually form an independent squad? I mean, their first obstacle is the veterans' blockade; those veterans may be inferior in realm, but their combat experience is absolutely rich!

At that moment, a weak voice sounded in the live broadcast room.

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Yeah, what Su Yu and the others face are experienced veterans.

Perhaps their realm is not as high as yours, but those who can survive in such a perilous Myriad Races Battlefield and still sit as squad leaders—this already says a lot.

One absolutely cannot judge by surface appearances.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Su Yu and their choice is definitely not wrong, but this choice must withstand the test!

Indeed, the instant Su Yu spoke, several squad leaders exchanged glances and smiled, revealing a strange smile.

Afterward, a burly middle-aged man rubbed his fists, his face full of ill intent, and stepped out.

Kid, I know your background: you are the only heavenly pride in Daxia's history to have forged an Arhat Golden Body, but don't forget, this is the Myriad Races Battlefield!

The burly man's face showed a bloodthirsty smile.

Want to head to the training field for a spar?

Su Yu gave a light smile and said.

Please!

Afterward, the two walked out of the military camp and headed toward the not‑far training field.

At once, it attracted many veterans who were resting.

Their faces all showed excited smiles.

Hehe, I didn't expect this bunch of kids to actually want to re‑form a team—tsk tsk, they really haven't been beaten up by society yet!

A veteran laughed lecherously.

Come on, come on, the odds are open: veterans 1 to 1.1, kids 1 to 5—anyone want to bet?

Moreover, someone started shouting outright, whistling, as if they'd seen something exhilarating, and even those idle, bored veterans had their eyes light up.

They all spoke up.

I'm betting ten points on the squad leader!

I'm betting fifteen points on the squad leader!

I'm betting twenty!

Each veteran spoke up, their faces showing excitement they couldn't hide.

It's just a shame that the veteran who opened the betting had a mournful face.

Hey hey hey, don't you have any shame? Isn't there anyone betting on the rookie? Otherwise I'll lose out!

He looked at the points on his token and felt like crying.

He suddenly wanted to slap himself—why did he have to be the banker?

Now it's great—no one bet on Su Yu; if he loses, I won't just lose, I'll be ruined!

And just then, a proud‑looking youth walked over.

It was none other than Nan Shou Ren.

Nan Shou Ren took out ten Organ Tempering Realm inner elixirs from his bosom and said.

I have no points, but these ten should count as a hundred points, right? I'm betting on Su Yu!

The veteran's eyes lit up, and he quickly broke into a smile.

Sure, sure, each Organ Tempering Realm inner elixir counts as ten points—let's call it a hundred points for you!

Although it's still somewhat lacking compared to my losses, after all, the points I've bet on veterans have already reached a thousand.

But being able to recover even a little loss is good.

Among the candidate squad, another Golden Body Heavenly Pride watched Nan Shou Ren's move, his eyes twitched slightly, and likewise took out two or three Organ Tempering Realm inner elixirs and bet on Su Yu.

The remaining crowd, though some wanted to join, had no inner elixirs in hand and could only look on eagerly.

Can Su Yu win? If he can't, we won't be able to form an independent squad!

An Organ Tempering Realm heavenly pride said worriedly.

He'll definitely win—Su Yu is a three‑turn Arhat Golden Body, comparable to a Golden Body Great Perfection expert; how could you possibly lose?

But... Su Yu's opponent is ultimately still a veteran!

Some people were still worried.

Soon, under the gaze of countless onlookers, Su Yu and the veteran slowly arrived at the training field.

The veteran hehe‑laughed, took off his upper garment, revealing his burly muscles, densely covered with scars on his torso.

It was as if I had witnessed this person's entire life.

Su Yu saw this, and his heart involuntarily grew solemn.

With so many scars, I don't know how many life-and-death crises this person endured on the battlefield to survive.

Even some of those scars had spread to the bones, and even now the deep grooves can still be seen.

Su Yu slightly bowed to the old soldier.

This bow was for the old soldier's self-sacrifice and fearless devotion.

This bow was for the peace in the rear that these old soldiers bought with their lives!

This bow represented Su Yu's respect!

Not only the livestream room, but also the other examinees, and those inside the livestream, instantly became solemn.

"Alas, there is always someone at the front holding up their spine, forming a perfect and flawless defense line for us!"

Someone sighed.

Moreover, those with excited expressions began to speak up one after another.

"Damn, this is a real man; I admire him!"

"No way, after the college entrance exam ends, I too will go to the Myriad Races Battlefield; why should we just hide in the rear?"

"I want to join the army, and I also want to fight the Myriad Races!"

At this moment, at Hengcheng No. 1 Middle School, the old principal organized all the school's examinees to watch the college entrance exam livestream; when they saw the old soldier opposite Su Yu covered in scars, they were inevitably moved.

The old principal's eyes instantly became blurred.

He too had retreated from the Myriad Races Battlefield; at this moment, looking at the old soldier before him, he seemed to recall his former self, and.... his departed comrades.

"Principal, I've grown up, and I also want to become a soldier!"

At this moment, a tender voice sounded.

It was a boy, only sixteen or seventeen years old, his eyes filled with determination.

"I also want to become a man like Uncle!"

"I also want to contribute to the Human Race!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Following the boy's utterance, more and more voices spoke up; they slowly rose to their feet and saluted the man on the screen.

The old principal watched the scenes before him, his heart as if plucked; he closed his eyes, holding back the tears about to burst forth.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a carefree smile.

"Good, good, good, you're all a bunch of good kids!"

"The Human Race has you... it's really great..."

On the martial arts training ground.

The old soldier accepted Su Yu's bow; after Su Yu finished his bow, he smiled and said.

"Little brat, don't think that because you bowed to me I'll go easy on you; you still need to follow behind us properly—this is for your own good!"

Having said that, the old soldier's expression instantly became extremely solemn.

"Hope City, First Scout Squad, First Detachment Captain, Zhu Yueheng reporting for duty!"

The next moment, Zhu Yueheng seemed to turn into a fleeting shadow, shooting out instantly; his target was none other than Su Yu.

The sudden change startled the livestream audience, who gasped in shock.

Zhu Yueheng laughed loudly.

"Newbie, first rule: on the battlefield, there are never any rules!"

However, Su Yu's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard.

In the blink of an eye.

Zhu Yueheng had already closed in on Su Yu; his fist, as large as a sandbag, instantly swung at Su Yu.

"Tsk tsk, this newbie won't be stupid, will he? Actually standing there motionless—hey, there's really nothing to see."

"That's right; I originally thought I could exchange a few moves with Captain Zhu, but now it looks like one move is all it takes."

Around them, the old soldiers each sighed and said.

However, just at this moment.

At the instant when that fist was about to reach Su Yu, a flash of jade-like light suddenly appeared in Su Yu's eyes.

Only to see, Su Yu's fingers suddenly had jade-like light constantly flickering.

In an instant, they seemed to turn into jade fingers.

They shot out like lightning and then clenched.

They actually gripped Zhu Yueheng's fist firmly.

"What!"

Zhu Yueheng's eyelids suddenly drooped.

He hadn't expected that his punch would be so easily caught; you know, even among peers of the same realm, few can so easily catch his punch.

However, Zhu Yueheng, being a veteran of a hundred battles, quickly had a countermeasure in mind.

Boom—!!!

Majestic Spiritual Qi surged forth with Zhu Yueheng's shout.

Golden light instantly surged.

A golden figure appeared behind Zhu Yueheng.

Nine patterns, extremely conspicuous.

Nine Turns Golden Body!

Only the final turn separates me from the Great Perfection of the Golden Body Realm.

The terrifying energy of the Nine Turns Golden Body surged into Zhu Yuxuan's body, turning into boundless power, forcibly pulling his fist out from Su Yu's palm.

Zhu Yuxuan opened some distance, looking at Su Yu with a narrowed-eye smile.

"Not bad, rookie. You forced me to use my full strength; among veterans of the Golden Body Realm, you're top-notch."

The other veterans, seeing this scene, showed even more astonishment.

"What? You actually managed to block Captain Zhu's punch head-on—you know, his punch once put me in bed for three days unable to move!"

"How can you even say that—aren't you ashamed?"

Someone said disdainfully.

"That said, this rookie really has some skill; if he'd faced another squad leader, he might have won, but unfortunately he ran into the squad leader of the First Detachment."

Someone shook their head.

"Yeah, Captain Zhu has slain myriad-race experts who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Golden Body Realm; this rookie's in trouble."

As the words fell, Zhu Yuxuan's expression instantly turned solemn.

Splitting Mountain Palm!

Zhu Yuxuan shouted explosively, and a powerful surge coiled between his palms.

As if it could split heaven and earth, it instantly slammed toward Su Yu.

Su Yu's eyes lit up slightly.

Interesting.

Su Yu didn't use any martial technique; instead, he gathered all his Spiritual Qi onto his fist.

Open!

Su Yu let out a low shout, and a plain, unadorned punch instantly exploded forth.

Mixed with terrifying energy, it instantly collided with Zhu Yuxuan's strike.

Boom—!!!

The powerful energies collided, producing a roaring sound.

In an instant, the training ground's floor exploded, revealing ferocious cracks like a spiderweb, extremely dense.

Amid the blast, a figure was instantly flung backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Everyone hurriedly looked over, and then their faces changed dramatically.

The one who had fallen to the ground was none other than Zhu Yuxuan.

At that moment, Zhu Yuxuan's expression turned ferocious, and the palm that had clashed with Su Yu's fist split open with cracks, blood instantly welling out.

Captain!

Several veterans rushed over, helped Zhu Yuxuan up, and said worriedly.

Zhu Yuxuan spat out a mouthful of clotted blood, his expression turning complex.

At that moment, Su Yu also walked over slowly and gave Zhu Yuxuan a slight bow.

"Captain, I concede."

Zhu Yuxuan gave a bitter laugh.

"As expected of a Human Race prodigy—I thought you lacked combat experience, but now I see I'm no match for you!"

Zhu Yuxuan both bitterly laughed and sighed with feeling.

Those who can be called Human Race prodigies are certainly not weaklings.

Looking back, my earlier words were nothing but self-inflicted humiliation.

For a moment, the surrounding veterans' gazes at Su Yu were no longer the same.

Although still somewhat unfamiliar, deep in their eyes a hint of respect had appeared.

On the Myriad Races Battlefield, only the strong can earn respect.

Weaklings... have always been a burden.

Soon, Zhu Yuxuan was dragged away for treatment.

As for Su Yu and the others, they also successfully obtained the qualification to form an independent squad, gaining their own exclusive camp.

Afterward, Su Yu and the others returned to their exclusive camp, awaiting mission assignment.

When there is no mission, they can rest in their exclusive camp; once a mission arises, they must deploy!

At that moment, the Ping'an Marquis slowly appeared in Chen Xingyu's camp.

Chen Xingyu was greatly startled and hurriedly bowed to the Ping'an Marquis.

The Ping'an Marquis glanced lightly at Chen Xingyu.

"How is it? How's Su Yu?"

Chen Xingyu gave a bitter laugh.

"Marquis Ping'an, you've given me a headache—I don't know what mission to assign such a monstrous evildoer."

If it's too simple, it won't match their strength; then they won't earn enough points and will instead offend.

But if it's too difficult, any mishap on their part would cause even more trouble.

The Ping'an Marquis's eyes were profoundly deep.

"Give them that A-rank mission!"

Chen Xingyu's pupils contracted at once upon hearing that.
