Chapter 281: The Humble Twelve Sequences, Defeat Shi Hu!

Tian Ming looked at Su Yu with a squinting smile.

But that smile, even a fool could tell it was not well-intentioned.

Su Yu stood calmly on the mountain peak.

Do you need to know my ability?

Tian Ming smiled faintly, as if he had already expected Su Yu to say that.

Of course we don't need to know, but we are all Sequences of Qianlong Academy; in the future we will compete with the Five Great Academies. I think, junior apprentice, you should hand over this method; that would also be for the good of the whole Qianlong Academy!

As soon as these words were spoken, gazes converged here instantly.

The reason they didn't want to come out just now was, firstly, because of Su Yu's identity—he is, after all, a disciple of the Slay Dragon King, and it's not good to offend him.

Secondly, Su Yu has just arrived, possessing extraordinary talent; even if we don't befriend him, we shouldn't offend him.

That's why only Shi Hu and Tian Ming stepped forward.

And with Tian Ming's words, everyone's hearts were moved.

Yes, if you, Su Yu, do it for the good of Qianlong Academy, just hand it over obediently, and everyone will benefit.

There is hope to surpass the Five Great Academies in the academy's grand competition.

For a moment, many people felt moved.

Except... the Twelve Sequences.

There's no way around it; he is the lowest Sequence. Although he can be superior to others outside, among the Twelve Sequences, nobody dares to provoke him.

Extremely humble.

Hearing Tian Ming's words, Su Yu laughed.

"Senior Tian Ming, true to being one of the Sequences, you can seize the moral high ground just with your words."

Tian Ming did not get angry at Su Yu's mockery; he continued to smile and gaze at Su Yu.

Su Yu said calmly.

"What if I don't hand it over?"

Tian Ming narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in his gaze.

"Not handing it over..."

Tian Ming smiled faintly, continuing to play with the jade in his hand.

"As a Ninth Sequence, I have the right to casually pick any peak beneath Number Nine Peak; so... let's exchange!"

As his words fell, the whole world seemed to freeze, filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"Hiss, Tian Ming's gall is too big—he dares to provoke the Slay Dragon King's disciple; doesn't he fear that Su Yu will tell the Slay Dragon King, after which he would have offended the Slay Dragon King?!"

"That's hard to say; after all, it's a dispute among juniors, the Slay Dragon King can't intervene too much—who can blame Su Yu if his skill is inferior?!"

"Tsk tsk, it's a pity for Su Yu—he just got promoted to a Sequence, and already Tian Ming has set his sights on him."

The other Sequences transmitted their thoughts one after another.

Some even took a gawking attitude and chuckled.

"You say, will Su Yu resist or not?"

"If you ask me, Su Yu would be better off not resisting; given his terrifying talent, after a while surpassing Tian Ming is merely a matter of time."

"That's right; although Tian Ming, as a Ninth Sequence, is not as strong as us, he is at least a mid-stage Star Ancestor Master, far stronger than Gu Yun."

"Yes, although both are mid-stage Star Ancestor Masters, the gap is still considerable; take Shi Hu for example—he can defeat Gu Yun, let alone Tian Ming, who ranks above Shi Hu."

"Especially, Shi Hu and Tian Ming are as close as brothers; if they join forces, even a late-stage Star Ancestor Master might not be their match."

"That said, if dealing with a newcomer Sequence requires these two to join forces, it would actually make us feel ashamed."

Everyone kept transmitting their thoughts.

Su Yu didn't know the other Sequences' transmissions; at this moment, Su Yu stood on the mountain peak, calmly gazing at Tian Ming, with killing intent flickering in his eyes.

He had barely entered the Sequence mountain peaks when he was already targeted.

Although Su Yu had mentally prepared for being targeted while manifesting the Energy Ore Vein, he didn't expect these people to come so quickly.

However...

Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even so, he must not retreat!

Su Yu said calmly.

"If you want to come, go ahead and try!"

Hearing those words, Tian Ming laughed.

He slowly looked at Shi Hu and said.

"Brother Shi Hu, why don't you teach our junior apprentice how to behave when encountering a higher Sequence?"

Shi Hu gave a ferocious chuckle, his muscles constantly writhing.

On his skin, the dragon pattern seemed to come alive; instantly, an aura more terrifying than Gu Yun's surged, boiling between the mountain peaks.

At the same time, in the principal's office.

Zhao Tianxing's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"What the hell is this Su Yu up to? How did he, just after entering, end up at odds with Shi Hu and Tian Ming?"

Zhao Tianxing sat on the office sofa, waved his hand, and a light curtain instantly appeared before him.

Within that light curtain, there were indeed Su Yu, Shi Hu, and Tian Ming.

Zhao Tianxing crossed his legs, at some point grabbing a handful of melon seeds, and chuckled while gazing at the light curtain.

"That's fine; letting this kid Su Yu suffer a bit is good—if everything goes smoothly, he'd be too prone to an early demise."

Zhao Tianxing cracked sunflower seeds while watching the few people in the light screen.

Between the peaks, Shi Hu's muscles twitched, and a powerful surge burst from his body in an instant.

Faintly, it seemed as if a dragon's roar resonated from Shi Hu.

"Dragon Fist!"

Shi Hu let out a low growl, and golden light flickered on his fist as Grandmaster's Power gathered there in an instant.

A faint illusion of a great dragon circled above Shi Hu's fist.

Boom—, Shi Hu thrust his fist outward.

It was as if a real dragon had manifested, bearing terrifying power, slashing toward Su Yu.

"Tsk, it's the Dragon Fist. They say when mastered it can summon a third of a dragon's essence, comparable to some low‑level Seventh‑rank Martial Techniques. Su Yu's in trouble now!"

"Isn't that right? Shi Hu may be dim‑witted, but his strength is undeniable; otherwise he couldn't become the Tenth Sequence."

"But Su Yu managed to defeat Gu Yun, showing some skill; perhaps he could spar a few moves with Shi Hu, yet against Tian Ming, Su Yu is bound to lose!"

A few idle Sequences whispered to each other.

Except... the Twelfth Sequence.

Among all the Sequences still at the academy, only our Twelfth Sequence practiced silently, too shy to speak.

It really seemed rather humble.

Rumble—!!

The dragon illusion swooped between heaven and earth, opening a ferocious maw; its sharp fangs seemed capable of crushing everything.

It lunged at Su Yu in an instant.

Facing the raging dragon illusion, Su Yu's hand slowly manifested the Blood‑Eater Demon Blade.

His arm trembled slightly, and a torrent of savage blade aura swept across heaven and earth in an instant, spanning the whole realm.

"Five‑fold Thunder Demon Slash!"

Su Yu's gaze hardened.

Empowered by thirty‑two times strength, he swung a jet of black blade aura and slashed fiercely.

The black blade aura, crescent‑shaped like a new moon, shot upward from the ground.

It collided solidly with the dragon illusion, erupting a terrifying power.

Rumble—!!!

A small mushroom cloud rose between heaven and earth.

Even the whole mountain trembled slightly.

Su Yu's eyebrows lifted slightly.

After all, it's still the Tenth Sequence, whose power surpasses Gu Yun's.

Though they share the same realm, in combat strength Shi Hu is clearly stronger.

Tian Ming smiled faintly at the sight.

"No wonder you could defeat Gu Yun, but if you think Shi Hu is only this modest now, you're gravely mistaken."

"Shi Hu, it's yours!"

Tian Ming said to Shi Hu.

Shi Hu's mouth twisted into a cruel grin as he rubbed his fist.

"Don't worry, I'll let him know what to do within the Sequence!"

Shi Hu bent his knees slightly, then thrust forward like a cannonball, charging at Su Yu.

Su Yu's eyelids drooped slightly, and he brandished the Blood‑Eater Demon Blade, clashing hard with Shi Hu.

Thump—Thump—Thump!!!

In just a few breaths, the two had already exchanged blows hundreds of times.

After hundreds of clashes, Su Yu felt his palm was about to shatter, and his peripheral glance fell on his own palm.

Strands of crimson aura rose along the wound on his palm.

"This guy's flesh... is unusually strong!"

Su Yu sighed.

"It seems using ordinary techniques to defeat him isn't that easy..."

"But this move is enough!"

Su Yu's gaze turned razor‑sharp in an instant, as if he became a battle sword, a murderous intent flashing from his eyes.

At once, many eyes on Su Yu sensed a sea of corpses and blood spreading around him.

The crowd froze.

"How many people did this guy have to kill to gather such terrifying murderous intent!"

"Hiss! Looks like our junior isn't simple either!"

A Sequence spoke gravely.

Yet Shi Hu seemed unfazed, still roaring and unleashing frenzied ultimate attacks.

Su Yu, wielding the Blood‑Eater Demon Blade, lightly blocked Shi Hu's assault, pushing him back with a slash.

In the next instant, terrifying power gathered on Su Yu's blade.

"Six‑fold Thunder Demon Slash!"

Su Yu let out a low shout.

Sixty‑four times strength erupted with a boom.

The original defeat of Gu Yun was also with a Six‑fold Thunder Demon Slash!

Boom—!!!

Terrifying power erupted between heaven and earth, Shi Hu's pupils contracted sharply, he let out a furious roar, and Grandmaster's Power instantly enveloped his whole body.

Blade qi fell down, forcibly breaking through Shi Hu's Grandmaster's Power, directly carving a ferocious wound across his chest.

Fresh flesh was clearly visible, and even the faintly visible white bones hidden within the flesh could be seen!

Shi Hu's breath instantly waned, his whole body seeming to lose consciousness as he collapsed into the ground.

At this moment, Tian Ming's face instantly darkened.
