Chapter 305: Zhao Tianxing's Warning, Confident Su Yu!
Zhao Tianxing's voice rang out across the entire Qianlong Academy.
Then, one could see figure after figure instantly flying toward the mountain peak.
Although flight was prohibited in Qianlong City, within the grounds of Qianlong Academy, simple flight was still possible.
However, once one left the academy's grounds, one had to abide by Qianlong City's rules.
This was something that both Qianlong City's soldiers and Qianlong Academy's people understood very well.
Su Yu glanced at Zhang Xiaobai and the others, and said.
"Are you all going? If not, I'm going."
Wu Ling'er said with a beaming smile, "If you go, I go too!"
Zhang Xiaobai and Bei Chen exchanged a glance and said with a chuckle.
"If you're going, and we don't go, wouldn't that mean we're inferior to you? How could that be. We're going! We absolutely must go!"
Bei Chen said calmly.
"I also want to see what inheritances are actually inside the Inheritance Path."
Just as the group was conversing, two familiar figures appeared beside them.
It was none other than Nan Shou Ren and Tang Nian Bing.
"You two came as well?"
Su Yu looked at the two in surprise.
Tang Nian Bing shot Su Yu a glare and said in a sweet voice.
"What? You're allowed to go, but we're not? The rules of Qianlong Academy don't seem to say that non-Sequences can't participate in the Inheritance Path."
Nan Shou Ren said with a chuckle.
"You're going, so if I don't go and word gets out, where would I save face? If my father found out, he'd definitely beat me to death."
Hearing their words, Su Yu smiled faintly, then waved his hand.
"In that case, let's set off!"
With that, the six of them flew toward the mountain peak.
Many people were heading to the peak, making up eighty percent of Qianlong Academy's students.
However, some of these students were not going to participate in the Inheritance Path; they were just planning to watch, wanting to see exactly who would be able to obtain the inheritances.
Those participating in the Inheritance Path were a very small portion.
Moreover, most of them were senior-year students.
Amidst the crowd, Su Yu spotted a familiar figure.
Li Mu!
This person, who had always been called a Flying Heaven Realm Grand Perfection expert before Su Yu's arrival, had fallen into a bottleneck after being defeated by Su Yu.
Even Zhang Xiaobai and the others had broken through to the Star Ancestor Master realm, yet he remained stuck at the Flying Heaven Realm Grand Perfection cultivation.
Upon seeing Su Yu, Li Mu's expression turned slightly unnatural, before he gave a proud cold snort and continued flying toward the mountain peak.
He looked extremely haughty.
Su Yu merely smiled faintly at this.
Soon, everyone arrived at the mountain peak.
Ahead of the crowd stood an enormous bronze bell.
Beneath the bell, there were two people.
One was Zhao Tianxing.
The other was an old man who had struck the bell, and Su Yu was extremely familiar with this old man.
It was none other than Elder Xuan, who had been sweeping the library pavilion before!
Zhao Tianxing's martial uncle!
The junior martial brother of the previous headmaster!
Elder Xuan looked just like an ordinary old man, with not the slightest fluctuation from his body.
Yet when everyone looked at Elder Xuan, their eyes were filled with reverence.
Even those as proud as Li Mu or even Chu Hong cast a respectful gaze toward Elder Xuan.
Xiang Shaoyun was no exception.
By reckoning, Elder Xuan was even Xiang Shaoyun's grand martial uncle.
This old man who had devoted his entire life to Qianlong deserved the respect of all Qianlong students.
Zhao Tianxing looked at the crowd and said calmly.
"Those preparing to enter the Inheritance Path, step forward. As for those who have participated once and want to participate a second time, you'd best step out now. If you're trying to fish in troubled waters, don't blame me for not warning you."
Hearing Zhao Tianxing's words, some people's expressions changed slightly, and their steps forward grew stiff.
Zhao Tianxing gave a cold snort upon seeing this.
Every year there were people trying to fish in troubled waters, truly thinking that with so many people around, no one would know who had already participated.
Zhao Tianxing's hawk-like gaze swept through the crowd.
Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, several people in the crowd were involuntarily lifted into the air and sent crashing down the mountain.
"Go to Li Zhangsheng and receive your punishment."
The surrounding people acted as though this were a common sight.
Every year there were people trying to fish in troubled waters.
They had not obtained an inheritance last time, so they harbored crooked thoughts about it.
It couldn't be helped—the temptation of the Inheritance Path was simply too great.
Once one obtained an inheritance, not only would their cultivation soar, but they would also gain an additional technique, even a life-saving trump card.
This was something anyone would want to have.
But students of Qianlong Academy only had one chance to enter; once used, they could never enter again.
Even Chu Hong, as the First Sequence and Second Sequence, was no exception.
That was why they chose to enter the Inheritance Path in their final year, when their condition was at its best, to obtain the inheritance.
This time, not many people were participating in the Inheritance Path—only about two or three hundred.
Among them, only six new students including Su Yu participated; the others all planned to observe a bit more first. After all, there was still plenty of time, and there was no need to waste the one and only chance in the first year.
Zhao Tianxing looked at the two to three hundred people preparing to participate, noticed Su Yu and his group, and frowned slightly, reminding them.
"Su Yu, what are you new students getting involved for?"
Su Yu smiled faintly and said.
"Principal, didn't you say that every student of Qianlong Academy is qualified to participate? What, can we not participate?"
Zhao Tianxing said helplessly.
"Su Yu, don't you know that to obtain an inheritance in the Inheritance Path, it's best to wait until your strength is a bit greater? Yes, you can participate, but if you wait another two years or so, your chances of obtaining an inheritance will be much greater."
It was only because Zhao Tianxing held great hopes for Su Yu, wanting Su Yu to obtain the First Principal's inheritance, that he would advise him so earnestly.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Must one obtain an inheritance based on the level of their cultivation? If that were the case, wouldn't those inheritances be trash?"
The crowd all turned to look at Su Yu.
Zhao Tianxing said earnestly, "What you say makes sense, but based on our experience, senior year is when your condition is at its best, and the probability of obtaining an inheritance is also the greatest."
Su Yu shook his head, and an aura of extreme confidence emanated from him.
Su Yu said with a smile.
"That kind of probability is for those who harbor a mentality of leaving things to chance, not for me. It's just an inheritance—could it really be that I, Su Yu, can't obtain one?"
Hearing Su Yu's words, the surrounding Qianlong students instantly erupted in an uproar.
"Damn, Su Yu is so arrogant! He doesn't think he can obtain an inheritance just because he defeated Chu Hong, does he? Inheritances aren't something you get just because you're powerful!"
"Yeah, I think Su Yu has had things go too smoothly lately. He doesn't even know who he is anymore, actually making such wild boasts."
"He's the Slay Dragon King's disciple after all, so arrogant. If he doesn't obtain an inheritance in a bit, that'll be a real embarrassment!"
Quite a few students were discussing among themselves, clearly extremely disdainful of Su Yu's arrogance.
The reason for entering the Inheritance Path in senior year was a conclusion Qianlong Academy had drawn over decades, even a century.
The probability of obtaining an inheritance during senior year was much greater than when first entering the academy.
Therefore, most people only prepared to enter the Inheritance Path in their senior year.
Even Chu Hong and Xiang Shaoyun were no exceptions.
Faced with Su Yu's arrogance, Zhao Tianxing also felt somewhat helpless.
After all, everyone walks their own path in life; interfering too much wasn't a good thing.
Zhao Tianxing sighed and then said.
"Alright, since it's your own choice, then if you don't obtain an inheritance, don't blame me."
Zhao Tianxing still wanted to persuade Su Yu a bit more.
After all, there were countless inheritances within the Inheritance Path, and some had extremely harsh requirements. It wasn't guaranteed that one could obtain an inheritance just by having good talent.
There was also one most important requirement—that it had to suit their taste!
If it didn't suit the inheritor's taste, then no matter how great one's talent was, it was useless.
Su Yu smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, Principal. If I don't obtain an inheritance, I'll have only myself to blame. Besides... who says I can't obtain an inheritance?"
Looking at Su Yu's so confident appearance, Zhao Tianxing sighed, feeling even more helpless in his heart.
He had originally thought that if Su Yu entered the Inheritance Path in his senior year, he might have a chance at obtaining the First Principal's inheritance.
But now it seemed, most likely, there was no chance.
One must know that back then, when the Heavenly Sword King and the Literary King entered the Inheritance Path, they were already Bright Moon Grand Master experts, and still did not obtain the First Principal's inheritance.
Zhao Tianxing's heart was filled with waves of disappointment.
He then looked at Zhang Xiaobai and the others, and said.
"Are you all planning to do the same as Su Yu? Although you're a bit behind Su Yu right now, as long as you're given time, you'll definitely be able to obtain an inheritance if you enter in your senior year."
Zhang Xiaobai and the others exchanged glances and chuckled.
"If Su Yu's going in and we don't, wouldn't that put us a step below this guy?"
Looking at the slightly stubborn appearance of the group, Zhao Tianxing sighed in his heart.
"Is it truly the case that no one can obtain the First Principal's inheritance?"
Zhao Tianxing felt an inexplicable sense of pessimism in his heart.
But soon, the pessimism was swept away entirely.
He waved his hand broadly and said in a loud voice.
"The time has come. I request the Inheritance Path to manifest!"
As Zhao Tianxing's voice rang out, Elder Xuan behind him gently pulled the rope above the bronze bell. The bronze bell was struck, emitting a magnificent sound.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
In an instant, an extremely illusory path descended from the sky and landed upon the mountain peak.
The illusory path radiated beams of light that enveloped the crowd preparing to enter the Inheritance Path.
Su Yu only felt the scene before him distort slightly, and when he came to again, he had already appeared in another world.
