Chapter 439: Soft‑Hearted

"Marquis… mid-stage!"

The Overlord of the Heavens' strained voice resounded in Mie Long Cheng.

In an instant, countless gazes converged on Su Yu.

Within those gazes lay endless envy, awe, and… exhilaration! New Pen Fun Pavilion

"Hiss, worthy of a Young Marshal, you actually broke through in one go and directly reached the Marquis mid-stage!"

"Indeed, you should know that a strong at the Marquis mid-stage, even within my Slay Dragon Army, is among the top."

"Isn't that right? Within the Slay Dragon Army, those who can surpass the Marquis mid-stage number no more than five, and the Young Marshal is only eighteen yet has already reached this level!"

"Truly worthy of being my Slay Dragon Army's Young Marshal!"

One by one, the Slay Dragon Army gazed at that figure between heaven and earth, their eyes burning with fervor.

This, indeed, is their Slay Dragon Army's Young Marshal!

Only someone like this can become their Slay Dragon Army's Young Marshal!

Only such a person is qualified to become their Slay Dragon Army's Young Marshal!

Countless members of the Slay Dragon Army, looking at Su Yu standing between heaven and earth, involuntarily waved their arms and let out deafening cheers.

"Young Marshal!"

"Young Marshal!"

"Young Marshal!"

The sound was deafening, the rolling waves of noise seemed ready to burst through the entire sky.

Su Yu looked down, repeatedly glancing at his Slay Dragon Army, and couldn't help but let a faint smile appear on his face.

Suddenly, Su Yu's body froze for a moment, and a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight.

After a brief hesitation, Su Yu's figure flickered slightly and vanished between heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Overlord of the Heavens stepped forward and addressed the Slay Dragon Army below.

"Alright, disperse, disperse; the Young Marshal just broke through, his cultivation still needs consolidation!"

At this moment, the Overlord of the Heavens, having returned from undercover, reclaimed the prestige he once held within the Slay Dragon Army.

Even though the Heaven Sword King commanded the First Army during this period, with the Overlord of the Heavens' return, his prestige still pales in comparison.

Soon, the Slay Dragon Army scattered.

But Su Yu still became the subject of conversation in every member of the Slay Dragon Army.

Truly, the talent Su Yu displayed was astonishingly extraordinary.

Not long ago, they were still participating in the Ten Thousand Tribes Grand Tournament, only at the level of Great Sun Grand Master, and within just a month or two.

Not only could they now join the Marquis battle, but now they have directly broken through to the Marquis realm.

Such terrifying strength, such terrifying talent, and he is their Slay Dragon Army's Young Marshal, the future commander of the Slay Dragon Army.

How could they not be so excited.

And at this moment, in a corner of Mie Long Cheng

a cold‑faced youth stared at Su Yu's figure, a faint bewildered expression appearing on his face.

In an instant, Su Yu's figure dissipated.

The youth's expression grew even more bewildered.

He looked around, yet he didn't know what to do next.

And at that moment, a familiar figure appeared before him.

A gentle voice sounded.

"Bei Chen, why have you come!"

The youth suddenly looked up and saw Su Yu, who had somehow already appeared before him.

"I…" Bei Chen was suddenly as if his throat were stuck, not knowing how to speak.

The bewildered look on his face deepened.

Indeed, this is Bei Chen, who came from Qian Long City to Mie Long Cheng.

Earlier, Li Zhangsheng suggested that Bei Chen seek Su Yu's help; Bei Chen took the advice, so he came to Mie Long Cheng.

Bei Chen has been in Mie Long Cheng for a long time, never disturbing Su Yu.

More so, because Bei Chen didn't know how to start.

After all, his own teacher is the one who intends to disrupt the Slay Dragon King's imperial tribulation!

Although the Slay Dragon King has now successfully passed the tribulation, the traitor's mark on Chen Tian King remains forever etched upon him.

As Chen Tian King's disciple, Bei Chen naturally does not wish to see his teacher like this.

However, betraying the Human Race is an extremely heinous act within the Human Race!

Even Chen Tian King, as a Five‑step Sealed King, is the same.

Originally, before coming to see Su Yu, Bei Chen had already thought out what he would say in his mind.

But seeing Su Yu break through to Marquis, while he himself remains only at the Bright Moon Grand Master level.

For some reason, Bei Chen felt the distance between himself and Su Yu had become even greater.

And precisely because of this great distance, Bei Chen didn't know how to speak.

Su Yu looked at Bei Chen's demeanor and sighed.

How could Su Yu possibly not know Bei Chen's thoughts?

However, Su Yu also couldn't articulate such matters.

But Su Yu still understood Bei Chen better; this guy is a die‑hard Martial Artist, with his own obsession beyond the Martial Artist path.

Yet in emotional intelligence, he appears quite naive.

Su Yu patted Bei Chen's shoulder and said softly.

"I know your matter; the matter of Chen Tianwang is not something I can intervene in. It must be decided by my teacher and the Three Emperors."

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Bei Chen's complexion instantly turned somewhat pale.

His body began to tremble slightly, as if about to collapse.

However, Su Yu's next words restored hope to Bei Chen.

"How about this: in a while I'm going to see my teacher, and I'll say a few words for you. Whether it works, I don't know..."

Su Yu looked at Bei Chen with a complicated expression.

Bei Chen's eyes brightened, and he immediately said gratefully.

"I know, I know, Su Yu, thank you!"

Bei Chen also understood that Su Yu has not yet reached the level of the Slay Dragon King, so naturally cannot easily alter the Slay Dragon King's decision.

But since Su Yu can speak up for him, Bei Chen is already immensely grateful.

Watching Bei Chen's continual gratitude, Su Yu gave a slight smile, patted Bei Chen's shoulder, and said.

"Alright, go back to your room and rest first. I'll go see the teacher in a bit; if there's any news, I'll inform you at once!"

Bei Chen nodded and obediently returned to his own quarters.

Watching Bei Chen leave, Su Yu sighed again.

Chen Tianwang is like that... how innocent Bei Chen is!

Shaking his head, Su Yu's figure flickered, and he was already at the center of Mie Long Cheng, where the palace stands.

He gently pushed open the palace gates and strode inside.

The Slay Dragon King seemed to have known Su Yu's arrival all along, seated calmly on the throne, his imposing eyes falling upon Su Yu.

"Did you breakthrough?"

Su Yu nodded; just as he was about to speak, the Slay Dragon King cut him off.

"Teacher, I have a sentence I'm not sure whether to say or not..."

"It's because that kid Bei Chen came, right!"

The Slay Dragon King looked at Su Yu with a half‑smile, half‑frown.

Su Yu was stunned, and looking into the Slay Dragon King's gaze, it seemed as if everything about him was seen through.
