Chapter 297: Bright Moon Level, Eighty Floors!

Watching Su Yu enter the Martial Arts Tower, the people around began to discuss.

"Su Yu actually entered the Martial Arts Tower again; three months ago, he had already cleared over seventy floors of the Martial Arts Tower, and this time no one knows if he can clear eighty."

"Eighty floors? What a joke! Eighty floors is equivalent to a Bright Moon Grand Master; in the entire Qianlong Academy, only three people have managed to clear eighty floors."

"No matter how terrifying Su Yu's talent is, it's impossible for him to reach the Bright Moon Realm in just three months."

"That's true, but according to Su Yu's talent, clearing seventy-nine floors should be no problem; as for eighty floors, it's a bit difficult."

Many people were discussing.

They even stopped attempting the tower themselves, instead standing on the outskirts to watch Su Yu's performance.

Zhang Xiaobai and the two others stood at a distance, gazing at the Martial Arts Tower.

Zhang Xiaobai crossed his arms and chuckled.

"It's a pity we didn't see Su Yu set a record last time; I don't know if he can break the record this time, I'm somewhat looking forward to it."

Beichen said coldly, "Quite possible!"

Zhang Xiaobai glanced at Beichen in surprise and said, "No way; given your personality, you wouldn't admit someone is stronger than you—what's up? Are you also rooting for Su Yu?"

Beichen didn't answer Zhang Xiaobai, but silently watched the Martial Arts Tower.

"Boring!"

Zhang Xiaobai curled his lips, then chuckled as he looked at Wu Ling'er.

"Ling'er, how many floors do you think Su Yu can clear?"

Ling'er's eyes sparkled as she said, "He'll definitely break the record."

Zhang Xiaobai felt somewhat helpless.

These two guys seem to be quite optimistic about Su Yu.

Zhang Xiaobai asked, "By the way, Wu Ling'er, how did you end up liking Su Yu? I recall you only just met him."

When Zhang Xiaobai said that, even the cold Beichen turned his head to look at Ling'er.

Obviously Beichen was also surprised, wondering why Ling'er was so devoted to Su Yu.

"It's because the teacher arranged it!"

Ling'er said seriously.

"The teacher's arrangement???"

Question marks appeared on Zhang Xiaobai's forehead.

"I say, Ling'er, you haven't been bewitched by the Demon King, have you? What's good about Su Yu?"

Zhang Xiaobai felt somewhat indignant.

You know, Ling'er's appearance is rare in the Qianlong Academy; the only one comparable to her is Tang Nian Bing.

When they saw Ling'er so devoted to Su Yu, countless admirers of Ling'er in the Qianlong Academy had their hearts completely broken at that moment.

Ling'er gave a simple smile and said, "The teacher's arrangement is the best, and besides..."

Ling'er's gaze fell upon the Martial Arts Tower.

"I also like Su Yu's type."

Although Ling'er looks somewhat simple and cute, when it comes to feelings, it's about chemistry; the moment Ling'er first saw Su Yu,

a seed had already been planted in her heart.

With the Demon King's help, that's why she feels this way toward Su Yu.

However, Su Yu has always been straight and hasn't paid attention to these things.

Zhang Xiaobai clutched his chest and said somewhat resentfully.

"This Su Yu, aside from being a bit thinner than me, having a bit more talent, being a bit more handsome, what else does he have that's better than me?"

"Ah, envy, jealousy, hatred!"

Beichen said lightly.

"You've already said it yourself; you can't compare to Su Yu anywhere."

Pfft.

It was as if a knife had been plunged into Zhang Xiaobai's heart.

While the three were chatting, the numbers on the stone tablet recording Su Yu's achievements changed rapidly.

1

75!

In less than five minutes, Su Yu had already cleared seventy-five floors; this speed left many people stunned.

"Tsk tsk, this speed is almost too terrifying—seventy-five floors in under five minutes."

"If I remember correctly, Su Yu's previous highest was also seventy-five floors."

"Whoa, that's terrifying; it's only been three months—I recall I was just at the early Flying Heaven Realm, and now I've broken through to mid Flying Heaven Realm, but looking at Su Yu, this guy is even stronger than me!"

"I say you're taking yourself too seriously—who are you? Who is Su Yu? Ridiculous!"

Someone laughed mockingly.

Instantly that person's face flushed red, and he hurriedly said.

"At least I've broken through so I won't be eliminated—you guys know nothing!"

As soon as he said that, the surroundings fell silent.

The two words "elimination" were like a blade hanging over their heads, as if any slack would cause it to fall upon them.

Thus eliminated.

In the silence, the number on the stone tablet changed again!

Seventy‑six!

"Sss, the speed has slowed, but at this rate, eighty floors probably isn't Su Yu's limit!"

It should be noted that after the seventy‑fifth floor, the difficulty of the Martial Arts Tower already matches that of a strongman at the late stage of a Star Ancestor Master.

Yet when facing a late‑stage Star Ancestor Master strongman, Su Yu can still maintain such speed; one must admit, Su Yu's combat power is truly terrifying.

"He's still the top of the college entrance exam; I reckon when Su Yu graduates, he'll probably become a Great Sun Grand Master!"

"Indeed, Su Yu still has three years before graduation; having already reached the late stage of a Star Ancestor Master, the Bright Moon Realm should pose no difficulty."

"I never expected Qianlong Academy could produce a student of a Great Sun Grand Master; back then, only the five major academies could claim such a person!"

As Su Yu's scores keep soaring, those around him start chatting endlessly, as if a talk box had been opened.

And the conversation, unsurprisingly, all revolves around Su Yu.

Zhang Xiaobai squinted, staring intently at the stone tablet.

At this moment, the number on the stone tablet had already become seventy‑eight!

"Sss, seventy‑eight floors are already nearing the limit of a Star Ancestor Master; Su Yu is practically a pervert."

Zhang Xiaobai muttered under his breath.

He is a Sword Emperor disciple, with countless hidden cards; although he has only lit three stars, his true combat power could suppress even a strongman who has lit six stars.

But compared with Su Yu, Zhang Xiaobai turned out to be nothing at all.

Bei Chen remained utterly indifferent.

Compared with Zhang Xiaobai, Bei Chen's mental resilience was clearly stronger; after all, the last time Bei Chen was already numbed by Su Yu's talent.

Ling Er's eyes flashed with light, like a girlfriend's gaze at her boyfriend's glorious moment.

Meanwhile, inside the Martial Arts Tower.

Su Yu stood on the arena, and ahead of him still loomed the illusionary figure of a black‑clad youth.

At this moment, the black‑clad youth's illusion possessed the strength of a late‑stage Star Ancestor Master.

Su Yu gave a cursory glance and easily saw through the illusion's power.

It was roughly the realm of having lit nine stars.

Facing such an opponent, Su Yu was even too lazy to wield the Blood‑Eater Demon Blade; his fist surged forward, wrapped in overwhelming Grandmaster's Power.

It crashed down with a boom.

The young man brandished an iron staff to block, but against absolute force, any defense is merely decorative.

Boom—boom—boom!!!

A roar echoed across the arena.

The youth's illusionary figure was instantly enveloped by the overwhelming Grandmaster's Power and turned to void.

And in front of Su Yu, a number flickered instantly.

Eighty!

After defeating the youth, Su Yu reached the eightieth floor.

Meanwhile outside, the number on the stone tablet had become seventy‑nine.

The number inside the Martial Arts Tower differs from that on the external stone tablet.

The stone tablet records the floor number the challenger has passed, whereas inside the Martial Arts Tower it marks the challenger's current position.

With the number's change, the black‑clad youth reappeared.

Only this time, the black‑clad youth's aura was even stronger than before.

Bright Moon Grand Master!

Su Yu's eyes lit up.

Su Yu has now lit fifteen stars; a typical Star Ancestor Master strongman isn't even a match for a single punch from Su Yu.

Only fellow extreme‑path strongmen can pose any pressure on Su Yu.

And today, throughout Daxia, only Su Yu and Zhao Tianxing can walk the extreme path.

As for whether he's the Slay Dragon King, Su Yu isn't sure.

"Kill!"

When Youth Pu appeared, a fierce power erupted instantly, and behind him a Crescent Moon illusion slowly materialized.

An even stronger surge burst forth from the youth's iron staff in an instant.

Confronted with such terrifying aura, Su Yu's face showed not fear at all, but a hint of excitement.

"Finally… a strong opponent has arrived!"

Su Yu licked his lips, charged forward, and engaged the youth.

Boom—boom—boom!!!

On the arena, a fierce surge erupted instantly.

Meanwhile, outside.

Many people stared fixedly at the stone tablet.

"Seventy‑nine floors, doesn't that mean Su Yu is now challenging the eightieth floor?"

"Sss, the only ones in Qianlong Academy who can breach the eightieth floor are the first Sequence and the second Sequence; could there now be an extra Su Yu?"

"Damn, that's absurdly overpowered; he's only a freshman and already has Bright Moon Grand Master strength—what if he graduates?"

Many people said in disbelief.

"Not necessarily; the eightieth floor is a qualitative leap—Su Yu may clear the seventy‑ninth but not the eightieth."

"Maybe he'll come out in a bit — is the eightieth floor really that easy to pass? I'd say Su Yu needs a few more months of cultivation."

"Right now, Su Yu doesn't have that qualification yet."

Still, some people said with scorn.

However, the instant those people's words fell, the number on the stone tablet changed in a flash.

Eighty!

At this moment, the entire area around the Martial Arts Tower fell silent.

Not a sound could be heard.

As if even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly.

The eightieth floor... he passed it!
