Chapter 204: Ye Chen's Discontent, What Is Fair?

~12 min read 2,356 words

I will only take Su Yu!

Upon hearing this, many freshmen felt their hearts sink slightly.

You know, who is Li Zhangsheng?

Those ranked second on the Grand Master list, and those who can rank in the top five on the Grand Master list, all belong to the realm of invincible Grand Masters.

Such beings are capable of overthrowing a Marquis, powerful indeed.

Like Lin Yu back then, who was among the top five on the Grand Master list, he single-handedly slaughtered a demon race Marquis with his Demon-Slaying Blade.

Although he later suffered extremely severe injuries and ultimately fell.

But being able to overthrow a Marquis at the Great Sun Grand Master level is already extremely terrifying.

Back then, Lin Yu was only third on the Grand Master list, while Li Zhangsheng, as the terrifying second-ranked existence on the Grand Master list, is inevitably even more terrifying than Lin Yu was.

Truly possessing the strength to overthrow a Marquis.

If such a person could become one's instructor, not to mention the future path, even one's backing would become much stronger.

Especially at Qianlong Academy, which is like a gu-breeding institute, having a good backing is simply a good thing.

For a moment, many students looked toward Su Yu with envious eyes.

Of course, some also cast jealous glances at Su Yu.

In the void above, Li Zhangsheng silently gazed at Su Yu.

At this moment, someone spoke up.

"Cough cough cough, Su Yu, actually you can also consider me. You are the disciple of the Slay Dragon King. Although Li Zhangsheng's strength surpasses ours, he hasn't taken on students for a long time, so in this regard, we might have more experience!"

Wang Shi coughed once, then said with a smile.

Li Zhangsheng's brows furrowed slightly as he glanced at Wang Shi.

However, Wang Shi acted as if he hadn't noticed Li Zhangsheng's gaze.

Joking aside, Su Yu, such a heaven-defying talent, is someone every instructor would want to take on.

Moreover, Su Yu is the disciple of the Slay Dragon King; on the path of cultivation, they need not worry about him at all—all they need is to steadily bring Su Yu to graduation.

Who wouldn't want such a good thing?

"Cough cough cough, what Wang Shi said is correct, Su Yu, you can also consider me!"

Yang He also spoke up; his gaunt face looked as if a thin layer of human skin were stretched over a skull.

He appeared somewhat ferocious.

Li Zhangsheng's complexion grew even darker.

"Hehehe, actually you can also consider me!"

Song Xing adjusted his glasses and said with a cheerful laugh.

For a moment, aside from Liu Mei, who only takes female disciples, the other three Great Sun Grand Masters also extended olive branches to Su Yu.

There's nothing to be done; this is the treatment of a heaven-defying talent.

You know, Su Yu is the only monster in the modern human race who has cultivated an Arhat Golden Body.

Before Su Yu, no one had ever managed to do that.

No one can predict Su Yu's future limits; even half-emperor experts may not surpass him in talent.

Such a seedling, not to mention at Qianlong Academy, even among the Five Great Academies, many Great Sun Grand Masters would vie for him.

Su Yu stared blankly at the four Great Sun Grand Masters in the void above who were throwing olive branches at him, feeling somewhat dazed.

Su Yu never expected himself to be this popular.

You know, even a Great Sun Grand Master who doesn't take on disciples could get by, yet strangely, of the five Great Sun Grand Masters at Qianlong Academy, four want to take him on.

Su Yu felt a bit torn for a moment.

Li Zhangsheng glanced at the three beside him and said lightly.

"After the ceremony is over, I will seek out each of you."

Wang Shi shamelessly said.

"Come find us then; do you think you could beat us to death? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're second on the Grand Master list!"

"Hehehe, Teacher Li is just joking; seeing a promising seedling makes me a bit itchy."

Song Xing still said with a cheerful laugh.

Yang He's face didn't smile, but his mind was already thinking about how to shift his alcohol.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianxing behind them gave a light smile as he watched the few people.

At the same time, he directed some of his attention toward Su Yu.

A glimmer flickered in his eyes.

"Arhat Golden Body? I don't know if I can get hold of that thing."

"If I can obtain it... the opportunity is fast approaching!"

Zhao Tianxing murmured softly in his heart.

At the same time, his eyes were full of anticipation.

"Alright, let Su Yu decide for himself!"

Watching the few people's argument, Zhao Tianxing said helplessly.

"How old are you, letting a bunch of brats watch a joke? If this gets out, where will the face of Qianlong Academy go?"

Just as the instructors were still arguing, Zhao Tianxing leisurely smoothed things over.

"Fine, then let Su Yu decide!"

Wang Shi glared fiercely at the three around him, then gave a narrow-eyed smile toward Su Yu and said:

"Su Yu, consider it a bit. Although I don't have Li Zhangsheng's strength, being your instructor is more than enough; at Qianlong Academy, there's nothing I, Wang Shi, don't know!"

Su Yu looked at the few people with a hint of embarrassment.

In an instant, the war was effectively shifted onto Su Yu.

"Su Yu, just say it directly; we won't mind!"

Song Xing said to Su Yu with a cheerful smile.

Su Yu pondered for a moment.

To be honest, no matter which Grand Master guides him, Su Yu really doesn't mind.

Plainly put, a Grand Master's role is to protect a student's safety, yet even with Grand Masters, Qianlong Academy still sees many students fall.

It also involves guiding the students through the next four years at Qianlong Academy.

Although finding a powerful Grand Master can spare many troubles at Qianlong Academy, for Su Yu it's not a difficult matter.

After pondering briefly, Su Yu looked at the four and asked.

"May I ask the Grand Masters a question?"

Yang He replied cheerfully, "Sure, of course! As Grand Masters, aren't we here to answer your doubts?"

"Ask away!"

Su Yu gave a slight smile, his eyes bright as he looked at the Grand Masters and said.

"I want to know, if I choose a Grand Master, what can the Grand Master do for me?"

"This..."

Su Yu's question instantly stumped Wang Shi and the others.

From their perspective, it's usual for them to choose others, never for someone to choose them.

After all, as Great Sun Grand Masters, wherever they go they receive generous treatment.

They had never considered this question before.

Only Li Zhangsheng said calmly.

"I'll take you to kill!"

"Kill the ten thousand races!"

In a short moment, the few received Su Yu's response.

Su Yu flashed his snow‑white teeth, smiled at Li Zhangsheng, and said.

"From now on, please take good care of me, Teacher Li!"

Indeed.

For Su Yu, some cultivation experience is nothing; the Great Sun Grand Master may be powerful, but don't forget Su Yu can contact his second senior brother.

The Heaven Sword King, after all, is a King-Conferred Strong One, and in the cultivation of the Dao he is naturally stronger than the Great Sun Grand Master.

Therefore, when choosing a Grand Master, Su Yu still wants one that matches his wishes.

When Su Yu arrived at the Martial Arts Academy, at first he wanted to turn his fate around.

But after the college entrance exam ended, Su Yu thought of many things.

The Human Race is weak, the myriad races are lawless.

Only by exterminating all the races can the Human Race truly stand firm under this heaven and earth.

And Li Zhangsheng's few words happened to match Su Yu's desire.

He chose Li Zhangsheng casually and without hesitation.

Wang Shi and the other two felt some regret, but Su Yu had already chosen, and they couldn't force him; if they forced further, perhaps Li Zhangsheng would actually dare to kill them.

Having known Li Zhangsheng for so long, they never doubted this.

This guy has only slaughter in his heart.

Don't be fooled by his silence; when he does speak, that's all you'll ever hear.

Among the newcomers, Ye Chen stood in the crowd, and seeing Su Yu choose Li Zhangsheng, a flash of anger instantly appeared on his face.

He suddenly rose and roared.

"I object!"

His voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Ye Chen breathed heavily, like an enraged beast, staring intently at the Great Sun Grand Masters standing in the void.

He demanded, "Why can Su Yu choose freely? Why does Teacher Li only take Su Yu? It's all unfair!"

Listening to Ye Chen, Su Yu slightly furrowed his brows.

Even Zhang Xiaobai and the others looked at Ye Chen in astonishment, their gazes like they were looking at a fool.

Zhang Xiaobai poked Bei Chen's shoulder and said.

"This guy, could he not be a fool? He dares to say such things?"

Bei Chen was silent for a moment, then coldly said, "Not sure, but probably close to what you said."

Nan Shou Ren smiled even more brightly at Ye Chen.

"I love watching these clueless youths; it's like seeing my younger self."

Zhang Xiaobai's eyes lit up as he looked at Nan Shou Ren.

"Little Nan, what do you say? Back then you also objected to Su Yu?"

Nan Shou Ren's expression froze, then he realized his mistake and quickly waved his hand, saying.

"I didn't say that!"

Zhang Xiaobai placed his hand on Nan Shou Ren's shoulder and said cheerfully.

"Little Nan, tell me, I just love hearing these…"

Nan Shou Ren's expression turned grim, as if he had eaten dung.

Ye Chen stared fixedly at Li Zhangsheng and spoke loudly.

"Teacher Li, I really want to know why you only brought Su Yu. Are we not students of Qianlong Academy anymore? Shouldn't a martial arts academy be a fair place? On what basis can Su Yu freely choose an instructor of the Great Sun Grand Master realm?"

"As for us... we can only be chosen by an instructor."

Ye Chen felt somewhat unwilling.

He actually wanted to become Li Zhangsheng's student, especially when Li Zhangsheng appeared, that all-pervasive sharp sword qi filled Ye Chen with longing.

He admired the strong, because in his heart he had a desire to become strong.

But hearing Li Zhangsheng say he would only take Su Yu, his heart sank to the bottom.

Later, several more Great Sun Grand Master realm instructors wanted to take Su Yu, filling his heart with even more jealousy.

But he also hoped Su Yu would not choose Li Zhangsheng, so that he might become Li Zhangsheng's student.

But who would have thought, in the end Su Yu still chose Li Zhangsheng.

This made Ye Chen unable to bear it any longer.

So that's why he spoke these questioning words now.

Above the void, several Great Sun Grand Masters looked at Ye Chen with interest; they hadn't expected that this batch still had such a hothead wanting to stand out.

Song Xing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze toward Ye Chen also carried a hint of displeasure.

Li Zhangsheng simply couldn't be bothered to look at Ye Chen, as if this guy had never been in his sight.

Zhao Tianxing slowly stepped forward and said calmly.

"Who told you Qianlong Academy is fair?"

As soon as he said that, many freshmen looked at Zhao Tianxing in disbelief.

They simply couldn't understand why Zhao Tianxing would say such a thing. jj. br>

You know, Zhao Tianxing is the principal of Qianlong Academy; saying such a thing, isn't he tarnishing Qianlong Academy's reputation?

Zhao Tianxing let out a cold laugh.

"This world has never been fair; this world is cruel, it is survival of the fittest."

"On the Myriad Races battlefield, ask anyone and they'll know. Fairness is built on your own fists; only when your fists are strong will anyone speak of fairness to you."

"The Myriad Races Continent has countless races, yet they invade our Human Race—is that fair to us?"

"Is it fair to the soldiers of Daxia who died on the battlefield?"

Zhao Tianxing's expression gradually became extremely stern; he stared fixedly at Ye Chen and rebuked.

"Now tell me, do you still want fairness?"

Zhao Tianxing's voice, mixed with spiritual qi, instantly spread across the entire training field, making all the freshmen, including Su Yu and the others, feel a slight jolt in their hearts.

Ye Chen's body trembled slightly; he clenched his fists tightly.

"But... a martial arts academy shouldn't be a fair place, should it..."

He said this somewhat unwillingly.

"Hmph!"

Zhao Tianxing let out a cold snort.

"If you want fairness, go to another martial arts academy; in my Qianlong Academy, everything must be won by your own fists. After today's ceremony ends, you will find that everything in Qianlong Academy is nothing like you imagined."

"Above you are the senior students of Qianlong Academy; they will constantly oppress and provoke you, waiting for the day you surpass them."

"Only then can you enjoy true fairness."

"Right now, you don't even have the qualifications!"

Zhao Tianxing's words pierced the heart like sharp knives, stabbing deeply into Ye Chen's chest.

Ye Chen's face turned somewhat pale.

Zhao Tianxing glanced lightly at Li Zhangsheng, and Li Zhangsheng instantly understood.

He slowly looked at Ye Chen and said calmly.

"I'll give you a chance—defeat Su Yu, and I'll take you as my disciple!"

Ye Chen suddenly lifted his head, a flash of joy crossing his face.

"Are you serious?"

Li Zhangsheng didn't answer; he just silently looked at Su Yu.

Su Yu nodded slightly, turned, and faced Ye Chen.

Su Yu slightly curled his lips, revealing his white teeth.

"If I can't defeat you in a single move, I lose!"
