Chapter 45: Can't Move Wang Xi? Jiangnan Sheng's Second Grand Master

Watch out for Shi Sword!

This was a piece of advice Yang Xiao gave Su Yu before leaving.

Su Yu cast a deep glance at Yang Xiao's departing back, then slowly closed the door.

Sitting on the bed.

"Watch out for Shi Sword?"

Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

As for Shi Sword, Su Yu knew him to some extent.

Shi Sword, a genius ranked tenth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, now possesses peak Blood Refining Realm cultivation, and even once escaped from a strongman of Organ Tempering Realm during a mission.

Just that alone shows how terrifying Shi Sword is.

One must know that the gap between Blood Refining Realm and Organ Tempering Realm is huge.

After all, upon reaching Organ Tempering Realm one can already begin cultivating Spiritual Qi.

Even the two peak Blood Refining Realm assassins sent by the Wang family to kill Su Yu were slain when they faced Li Tianhe, who had just entered Organ Tempering Realm.

And Shi Sword, having escaped from a strongman of Organ Tempering Realm, already demonstrates his terrifying strength.

Given Su Yu's current strength, it's probably still insufficient!

Even though Su Yu has slain peak Blood Refining Realm strongmen of the Heavenly God Sect, the sect's members are generally weaker, especially compared to the Heavenly Pride Battalion; among those of the same realm, members of the Heavenly Pride Battalion can at least resist the Heavenly God Sect's peers.

The disparity is evident.

As the eleventh-ranked on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, Shi Sword naturally holds some trump cards.

However, Su Yu isn't too worried about that.

Because… the points this time are just too many.

Enough for Su Yu to advance several tiers.

Now, what Su Yu must do is solidify his foundation!

Having sorted everything out, Su Yu sat cross‑legged on the bed and began cultivation.

Time passed slowly.

It was already night.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes; after a day of cultivation, he had firmly laid his foundation.

At this moment, Su Yu noticed an additional message on his phone.

It was sent by Jiang Shang.

"After you're ready, come to my office for a visit!"

It was around six in the afternoon; Su Yu checked the time and saw it was already past nine.

After a quick tidy‑up, Su Yu headed toward Jiang Shang's office.

He arrived at Jiang Shang's office by familiar route, and knocked on the office door.

A deep, resonant voice responded.

"Come in!"

Su Yu pushed the door open and saw Jiang Shang sitting at his desk, correcting documents.

"Chief Instructor!"

Hearing Su Yu's voice, Jiang Shang looked up and said with a smile.

"You're here? Find a seat and sit down."

Su Yu nodded and then asked.

"Instructor, why did you call me here?"

Su Yu got straight to the point.

Jiang Shang's smile faded slowly, replaced by a calm demeanor.

"Wang Xi's matter was reported to me by Bai Zhan; I called you today to brief you on Wang Xi's case."

Su Yu's eyebrows lifted slightly, saying, "Do we still need to discuss Wang Xi's case? The classmate who assassinated the Heavenly Pride Battalion should, according to regulations, be locked in the Martial Artists Prison, right?"

Su Yu is fairly familiar with some of the Heavenly Pride Battalion's regulations.

Listening to Su Yu, Jiang Shang chuckled wryly.

"If it were that simple, I wouldn't have called you specifically to discuss Wang Xi's case."

From Jiang Shang's tone and expression, Su Yu sensed something off.

"Could there be some obstacle?"

Jiang Shang nodded, saying, "Exactly. If it were someone else, they could be dealt with per the rules, but Wang Xi is different—he's from the Wang family!"

Su Yu, clueless about the so‑called Wang family or Li family, simply asked.

"The Wang family? Could they possibly wrestle with the Martial Artists Association?"

Jiang Shang shook his head and sighed.

"It's not that the Wang family can wrestle with the Martial Artists Association; I can proudly tell you that throughout Daxia, no faction can oppose the Martial Artists Association, not even the martial academies!"

Now Su Yu was even more puzzled.

"Then why…"

"The problem lies within the Martial Artists Association itself!"

Su Yu's gaze hardened, and then Jiang's voice continued.

"You know, in Jiangnan Sheng, only the president of the Martial Artists Association is at Grand Master level, and that one president has suppressed all Myriad Races Sect factions across Jiangnan Sheng."

Su Yu, hearing this, seemed to recall something and blurted out.

"The president's surname is Wang; could the president also be from the Wang family!"

In a moment, Su Yu's heart sank; if that were true, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, before this, I had indeed received some favors from Wang Long!

At this moment, even Su Yu felt a bit torn.

Fortunately, Jiang Shang's next words let Su Yu breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Shang waved his hand and said.

"The chairman is indeed surnamed Wang, but he has no relation whatsoever to the Wang family of Jiangnan Province; are you suggesting that everyone with the surname Wang in the world belongs to their Wang family?"

Su Yu let out a breath and said.

"That's good!"

Immediately afterward, Su Yu asked curiously.

"But if the chairman isn't from the Wang family, what problems could there be inside the Martial Artists Association?"

Jiang Shang gave Su Yu a deep look and said in a low voice.

"Actually, it's not really a secret; you know that in Jiangnan Province, on the surface there is only one Grand Master expert, namely the chairman!"

Su Yu nodded.

Jiang Shang continued.

"What if I tell you today that Jiangnan Province has more than one Grand Master expert?"

Su Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and he suddenly looked toward Jiang Shang.

His eyes held a hint of shock.

Jiangnan Province... actually has more than one Grand Master expert!

Suddenly, Su Yu seemed to think of something and abruptly looked at Jiang Shang.

"Instructor, do you mean that the other Grand Master expert in Jiangnan Province is related to Wang Xi?"

Jiang Shang looked at Su Yu with approval and said.

"That's right; the other Grand Master expert in Jiangnan Province is the head of the Wang family, and also Wang Xi's... grandfather!"

After hearing this, Su Yu fell silent.

Having a Grand Master as a grandfather makes Wang Xi's background extraordinarily formidable; you should know that a Grand Master expert, even when looking across the whole of Daxia, is considered a top-tier powerhouse.

And Wang Xi's grandfather is a Grand Master...

Now it seems that my intention to move against Wang Xi may be difficult.

After all, once I decide to act against Wang Xi, it would be equivalent to facing the retaliation of a Grand Master expert!

And at that moment, Jiang Shang's voice continued to sound.

"Actually... your desire to move against Wang Xi is not without opportunity!"
