Chapter 54: The Duel Begins, It's My Turn!

Grand move!

This is absolutely a grand move!

Two thousand points, two three-turn condensed blood pills!

Such a luxurious stake, in the Heavenly Pride Battalion, aside from battles among the top ten fierce fighters, I doubt anyone could produce it.

For a moment, the sound of drawing in cold breaths echoed continuously in the venue.

You know, among them, they probably have never even seen two thousand points.

Not to mention whether their total could reach two thousand points, even accumulating two thousand points is extremely difficult for some people.

And now, the wager for the duel between Shi Sword and Su Yu alone has reached two thousand points.

And Su Yu's two three-turn condensed blood pills are worth sixteen hundred points each.

"Hiss, these two fierce ones really can't spend all their points!"

Someone said with a toothache.

And at that moment, waves of commotion came from the crowd.

In the dense crowd, a path slowly opened.

Only to see Jiang Shang and Bai Zhan slowly walking over.

"It's the Chief Instructor and Instructor Bai who've come; I didn't expect the battle between Su Yu and Shi Sword to even attract the Chief Instructor!"

"Don't you see who these two are? One is the newcomer king, the other is currently the number one person in the Heavenly Pride Battalion aside from those ten fierce ones!"

"Yeah, these two guys are not simple!"

Watching Jiang Shang and the two arrive, even someone as proud as Shi Sword couldn't help but bow slightly to Jiang Shang.

"Chief Instructor!"

Su Yu also bowed slightly.

Jiang Shang looked at the two, especially lingering a bit longer on Su Yu.

Jiang Shang sighed, then slowly spoke.

"I've cleared up your matter, but since there's a stake, how could there be no witness?"

"How about..." Jiang Shang's mouth curled slightly, "Let me be the witness?"

Hearing Jiang Shang's words, Shi Sword originally thought Jiang Shang favored Su Yu, but unexpectedly just being a witness, he immediately laughed loudly.

"Haha, having the Chief Instructor as my witness is naturally good, and it prevents some people from going back on their words later!"

When he said that, Shi Sword deliberately glanced at Su Yu's position.

Su Yu acted as if he didn't see Shi Sword's provocative gaze, smiling as he spoke.

"That's only proper!"

Jiang Shang saw this, smiled slightly, extended both hands, and said.

"Then... hand them over!"

Shi Sword hesitated not at all, directly handing his identity token to Jiang Shang.

Su Yu did the same.

Jiang Shang held Shi Sword's identity token in one hand and the two three-turn condensed blood pills in the other, smiling faintly.

"Begin, remember, do not intentionally injure anyone!"

Having said that, he stepped aside, stood on the stands, while Bai Zhan beside him said worriedly.

"This way, really no problem?"

Jiang Shang gave Bai Zhan a sideways glance: "When did you become so indecisive?"

Bai Zhan scratched his head, saying "Isn't Su Yu a treasure, or did I bring him...."

Jiang Shang's mouth twitched, he said irritably: "Alright, alright, we know it's you who brought him, stop the nonsense!"

Bai Zhan gave an embarrassed smile, stepped back behind Jiang Shang, and looked down at the arena.

On the arena, Shi Sword looked at Su Yu, gave a sinister smile, and slowly drew the black iron staff from his back.

The staff flashed with a dark luster in the sunlight, appearing extremely heavy.

"Prepare to die!"

Shi Sword bellowed, his whole body shooting forward instantly, leaving black afterimages on the arena, his black iron staff whirling wildly, even tearing the surrounding air.

Puff puff puff!!!

The sharp sonic boom echoed throughout the arena.

For a moment, the surrounding Heavenly Pride members couldn't help but draw in a cold breath.

"What terrifying power; Shi Sword is probably just one step away from the Organ Tempering Realm!"

"Exactly, with this strength's intensity, without Qi and Blood reaching nine‑plus, it's impossible!"

"Hehe, you didn't know this, but a few days ago Shi Sword's Qi and Blood already broke through the nine checkpoints!"

"Hiss, nine means Shi Sword is really about to break through the Organ Tempering Realm!"

In the Blood Refining Realm, Qi and Blood above ninety are collectively called the peak of the Blood Refining Realm.

And reaching nine‑plus in Qi and Blood is even the peak among peaks!

"Hmm, with Shi Sword's current strength, he's likely aiming to charge into the top ten!"

"But you can't say that; those top‑ten monsters are now training hard in the secret realm, this achievement is already from long ago; once those monsters emerge, the Heavenly Pride Battalion will likely stir up another storm!"

The crowd discussed.

Meanwhile on the arena, Su Yu calmly watched Shi Sword's movements, yet his own body remained completely still.

"What's going on? Why is Su Yu completely motionless? Could he have been scared stupid?"

"It's possible, after all Su Yu just broke through the Blood Refining Realm not long ago; facing peak Blood Refining Realm Shi Sword, he probably can't even touch the corner of Shi Sword's clothes!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like there's no suspense in this battle!"

Someone couldn't help but shake their head, looking at Su Yu's eyes filled with pity.

They seemed to already see a scene where Su Yu's head would burst open under Shi Sword's iron rod!

On the spectator stand, Bai Zhan asked anxiously.

"Boss, should we intervene? I think Su Yu is no match for Shi Sword!"

Jiang Shang also frowned slightly; he naturally knew Su Yu was already in the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm. Logically speaking, even if he couldn't defeat Shi Sword, it shouldn't be this useless.

For a moment, even Jiang Shang didn't know what Su Yu was thinking.

Only then did one see a faint Spiritual Qi drifting in Jiang Shang's hand.

"Wait a moment, if the situation goes wrong, I will intervene!"

Hearing Jiang Shang's words, Bai Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the fighting platform, the distance between Shi Sword and Su Yu kept closing; in an instant, Shi Sword flickered to Su Yu's front.

Looking at Su Yu, who made no move, Shi Sword's eyes were filled with ferocity.

"You dare not move? Die!"

Shi Sword roared, veins bulging on his arm as he gripped the iron rod and smashed it down in an instant.

That iron rod seemed to weigh a thousand jin, and the surrounding air was instantly torn apart and dissipated.

"Damn it, what on earth are you thinking!"

Jiang Shang cursed silently, preparing to intervene.

And just as he was about to intervene, Su Yu moved.

Only then did one see Su Yu slightly tilt his head; the iron rod that should have hit his head slipped through the gap and landed on his shoulder.

Thud!

The tremendous force directly shattered the floor beneath Su Yu's feet in an instant.

A cloud of dust spread out.

It obscured everyone's view.

"What's happening? What happened?"

Everyone couldn't help but look toward the center of the dust.

After a moment, the dust slowly drifted away, revealing two figures.

Shi Sword stared, his expression frozen, at Su Yu before him.

And Su Yu gently moved the iron rod resting on his shoulder aside, tilted his neck slightly, and said calmly:

"It's over, now it's my turn!"
