Chapter 21: Heavenly God Sect Retreats, Grand Master Appears!

At this moment, outside the Martial Artists Association.

Bai Zhan burst forth with golden light, throwing a punch that caused the space before him to slightly fluctuate.

This is the Golden Body Realm!

The body surface is like gold!

Once one reaches the Golden Body Realm, even sharp weapons cannot harm the opponent in the slightest, unless it is a Spiritual Artifact.

And before Bai Zhan, the black-robed person also flickered with a faint golden light.

However, compared to Bai Zhan's, that golden light was somewhat dimmer.

"Damn Heavenly God Sect, daring to invade our human race's city!"

Bai Zhan's heart surged with anger.

You know, invasions of human cities by the Heavenly God Sect are originally very rare.

After all, to invade a city consumes enormous manpower and material resources.

Invading some small cities yields no benefit, and for large cities they lack the strength.

Therefore, such events seldom occur.

If it weren't for Su Yu's golden talent being exposed, the Heavenly God Sect would probably not have acted this way.

Yet the more this is so, the greater Bai Zhan's anger becomes.

Everything is still due to my own negligence.

"Hehehe, as long as we can slay your heavenly pride, even if we pay some price, what does it matter? Overall, we still profit."

The black-robed person continually spoke mockingly.

At the next moment, a childish voice sounded.

"Are you the ones I am to kill?"

"What??"

The black-robed person abruptly turned his gaze toward the direction the voice came from.

Only to see a youth in white sportswear standing silently beside the glass of a room.

And beside the youth stood a burly middle-aged man and an old man.

They were precisely Su Yu, Dong Buwei, and Liu Kuang, who had resolved the battle.

Upon seeing Su Yu, the black-robed person's pupils immediately contracted.

"How is it possible! Three Organ Tempering Realm and six Blood Refining Realm experts could not kill you!"

"A bunch of trash!"

Su Yu's appearance made the black-robed person instantly realize this operation had failed.

After all, this operation was indeed somewhat rushed.

Not only did we have to block that Grand Master of Jiangnan Sheng, but also block Bai Zhan, the instructor of the Heavenly Pride Battalion, and the available forces were basically all used up.

I never expected that in the end we would still fail.

"Hahaha, Heaven blesses our human race; how could you, malefactors of the human race, succeed?"

Bai Zhan immediately rejoiced, throwing a punch aimed at killing the black-robed person.

Yet the black-robed person, able to contend with Bai Zhan for so long, was naturally no weakling, easily blocking Bai Zhan's punch.

A pair of gloomy eyes fixedly stared at Su Yu.

"Su Yu, right... very good, I have remembered you!"

"This time, you were lucky, but next, prepare to face the endless assassinations of my Heavenly God Sect!"

The black-robed person let out a low roar, exerting all his strength to push back Bai Zhan, preparing to retreat.

But how could Bai Zhan possibly let him succeed so easily?

"Stay!"

Bai Zhan shouted explosively, both fists suddenly thrusting forward horizontally, endless golden light surging and covering his fists.

He heavily struck the black-robed person's body.

The black-robed person was also tough, hardily enduring Bai Zhan's assault, vomiting blood wildly from his mouth.

Moreover, he used the force of Bai Zhan's punch to swiftly flee into the wilderness.

Bai Zhan's face darkened.

"Damn it, he actually got away!"

Bai Zhan did not choose to pursue, for who knows if there are other Heavenly God Sect experts in Hengcheng; the most important thing now is to protect Su Yu!

And after the Heavenly God Sect expert of the Golden Body Realm was gone, the *** in Hengcheng quickly calmed down as well.

One hour later.

In a room of the Martial Artists Association.

Bai Zhan, Dong Buwei, Liu Kuang, and Su Yu four people sat quietly on the sofa.

"I never imagined that this oversight of ours would almost cause a great disaster."

Bai Zhan said with some lingering fear.

Dong Buwei said with a hearty laugh.

"But fortunately, we saw through the Heavenly God Sect's plan."

Bai Zhan shook his head and said.

"These words cannot be said like that; over these years, many heavenly pride have died at the hands of the Heavenly God Sect, and after such an incident, preparations are still necessary."

"However... Su Yu cannot continue to stay in Hengcheng."

Bai Zhan looked toward Su Yu.

Su Yu's expression was somewhat solemn.

To be honest, although I now rely on a spiritual artifact, I can also slay a martial artist who has just entered the Blood Refining Realm.

But if the Heavenly God Sect dispatches a late-stage Blood Refining Realm cultivator, or even an Organ Tempering Realm martial artist.

I will surely die!

So, I still need to think about the path ahead.

"Like this, once Old Master Wang arrives, we'll head to the Heavenly Pride Battalion; there, I won't say anything else—at least Su Yu's safety is assured."

Bai Zhan pondered for a moment, then said.

"However, as far as I know, the Heavenly Pride Battalion hasn't opened yet; there should be about half a month left."

Dong Buwei asked.

Bai Zhan waved his hand, then said.

"This year, the situation in Jiangnan Province is a bit different; an orange‑grade Heavenly Pride has been born... and also Su Yu..."

Bai Zhan glanced at Su Yu, then continued speaking.

"So the higher-ups may have decided to open it early; that's also good news."

At this moment, Su Yu became somewhat doubtful.

"Wasn't it said that the Heavenly Pride Battalion opens at any time?"

At this moment, Bai Zhan's attitude toward Su Yu had improved considerably; he explained with a smile.

"Strictly speaking, those cannot be considered Heavenly Pride; they are another kind of identity."

"Oh?"

"Retake student!"

"Retake student? What does that mean?"

Su Yu felt somewhat bewildered.

Bai Zhan continued speaking.

"So-called retake student refers to someone who has taken the college entrance exam once; if they haven't gotten into the desired martial arts academy, they can take the exam again, but at most three times."

"Now, those remaining in the Heavenly Pride Battalion are all retake students; after all, their scores are counted together with yours, they have already taken the college entrance exam once, and after a year of consolidation, this exam will surely yield better results."

"The better the results, the more resources our Jiangnan Province Martial Artists Association can obtain; therefore, within the Heavenly Pride Battalion, there is also a quota for these retake students."

Listening to Bai Zhan's explanation, Su Yu finally understood.

Just as Su Yu was about to ask more, a powerful surge spread throughout Hengcheng.

The four of them all turned their gazes toward the window.

All that could be seen was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, barefoot, standing in the void, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the entire Hengcheng.

Just as Su Yu, Liu Kuang, and the others were feeling curious.

Bai Zhan hurried forward.

"Heavenly Pride Battalion Instructor Bai Zhan, I pay my respects to the President!"

This person turned out to be the president of the Jiangnan Province Martial Artists Association, and also the only openly recognized Grand Master in Jiangnan Province!

Wang Long!
