Chapter 57: Five‑Element Guidance Method, Heavenly Pride Ranking Ninth, Shi Yuan

The towering youth's roar instantly ignited the silent Heavenly Pride Battalion.

Countless members of the Heavenly Pride turned their gaze toward the gate of the Heavenly Pride Battalion.

And the repeaters, upon seeing the youth at the gate, couldn't help but have their faces change wildly.

"It's actually him!"

"Heavenly Pride Ranking ninth... Shi Yuan!"

Heavenly Pride Ranking ninth... Shi Yuan!

Accompanying that voice, it rang through the dormitory cluster, and the expressions of both repeaters and fresh entrants changed dramatically.

"Hiss, I didn't expect to see a top‑ten Heavenly Pride Ranking presence today; weren't they supposed to have gone to the secret realm?"

"Probably the secret realm has ended."

"Oh! I get it, Shi Sword is Shi Yuan's younger brother, right? Shi Sword was defeated by Su Yu today; could Shi Yuan be coming to give Shi Sword a fight? Tsk tsk, didn't expect him to show up so quickly!"

"Hiss, that's the ninth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, and after such a long period of secret realm training, Shi Yuan must be even more terrifying!"

Everyone looked toward the gate of the Heavenly Pride Battalion.

Even Jiang Shang and his group were alarmed.

Atop the high building, Jiang Shang and four Instructors stood quietly on the rooftop.

Jiang Shang, hands clasped behind his back, looked at Shi Yuan at the gate and smiled faintly.

"I didn't expect that this secret realm expedition actually improved those kids quite a bit; even Shi Yuan has already reached the Organ Tempering Realm."

Behind him, Bai Zhan and Chen Zhe said with smiles.

"Indeed, Shi Yuan is ninth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking; above him are eight little prodigies. Though they're repeaters, their original college‑entrance scores weren't low; they just had too much ambition and stayed as repeaters to aim for the academy."

"From this secret realm trip, I wonder if any of those kids have entered the later stage of the Organ Tempering Realm; repeaters wanting to enter the academy without that level of strength would find it rather difficult!"

The few continued their discussion.

At that moment, a weak voice among the Instructors sounded.

"Um... boss, Shi Yuan just said he wants to cause trouble for Su Yu; aren't you going to stop him?"

Hearing that, Jiang Shang's smile faded slowly.

In its place came a cloud of gloom.

He muttered under his breath.

"Damn it, these kids are really causing a ruckus; why is everyone going after Su Yu?"

"e... boss, Shi Sword is Shi Yuan's younger brother."

Jiang Shang:.....

Jiang Shang rubbed his forehead and said wearily.

"Enough, enough, I'm too lazy to bother. Since Su Yu arrived at the Heavenly Pride Battalion, we haven't had a single day of peace!"

Chen Zhe said with a smile.

"Whether there's peace or not, boss, haven't you noticed that since Su Yu came, the atmosphere in the Heavenly Pride Battalion has become more tense? If this continues, perhaps this cohort, Jiangnan Sheng could finally shake off the bottom ranking."

Hearing that, Jiang Shang genuinely laughed.

"Yes, this cohort's kids aren't simple at all; perhaps... Jiangnan Sheng's glory truly needs these guys to build it!"

"Then... Shi Yuan's matter, should we still intervene?"

The weak voice sounded again.

In an instant, the good atmosphere shattered.

Jiang Shang's murderous gaze instantly fell upon the speaker.

"If you stay silent, no one will think you're mute!"

The Instructor shrank his head and said weakly.

"I... I'm just speaking the truth."

Jiang Shang took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to beat the guy to death, and looked toward the Heavenly Pride Battalion.

"What else can we do? We'll have to act when the time comes, right?"

Meanwhile.

With Shi Yuan's return, the entire Heavenly Pride Battalion boiled over.

A few repeaters who were close to Shi Sword ran to Shi Yuan's side and spoke.

"Brother Yuan, you're finally back. You have no idea how arrogant Su Yu is—he not only snatched Sword's mission, but when Sword faced him in the arena, Su Yu beat him so badly he's still unconscious!"

"Yeah, yeah, Brother Yuan, you must stand up for Sword!"

They kept slandering Su Yu.

Shi Yuan, evidently a simple‑minded person, heard their incitement and instantly felt a surge of anger rise to his head.

"How dare you!"

"Since when does a fresh entrant become so arrogant?"

Shi Yuan roared, his aura surged, and faint Spiritual Qi hovered continuously around his arms.

"What! It's Spiritual Qi! Shi Yuan has broken through the Organ Tempering Realm!"

Some onlookers gazed at the Spiritual Qi on Shi Yuan's body and shouted in amazement.

"Hiss, now Su Yu is in trouble; even though he can defeat Shi Sword, Shi Sword is only at the Blood Refining Realm, while Shi Yuan has already broken through the Organ Tempering Realm!"

"Yes, between the peak of the Organ Tempering Realm and the Blood Refining Realm, it's only one step..."

"Exactly, Spiritual Qi and Qi and Blood are not the same tier of energy!"

"Now Su Yu has hit a tough nut!"

Many people have already begun to feel sorry for Su Yu in their hearts.

The Stone Ape gripped a wolf-tooth club and walked toward the dormitory.

Many busybodies followed alongside the Stone Ape, preparing to watch the show.

The Stone Ape arrived at the foot of the dormitory building and suddenly let out a roar.

"Su Yu, get out here!"

The voice echoed throughout the entire dormitory building!

Meanwhile, inside Su Yu's dormitory.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes; after a period of consolidation, he successfully suppressed his qi and blood to eight right. Although it was a few points lower than eighty-nine, in quality it absolutely surpassed before.

"Ah, give me some time and perhaps I can break through the peak of the Blood Refining Realm!"

Su Yu smiled slightly, then took out the exchanged Basic Guidance Method from his storage ring; he had already exchanged one earlier, and now what Su Yu needs to do is.

is to synthesize the two techniques!

Su Yu placed the Basic Guidance Method into the Synthesis Slot.

Accompanied by a flash of golden light, a brand-new book appeared in the Synthesis Slot.

"Second-tier Technique Guidance Method, cultivable to the Organ Tempering Realm, absorbing heavenly power to augment Spiritual Qi. When cultivated to great accomplishment, it rivals a third-tier technique!"

Su Yu looked at the introduction in the Synthesis Slot, and his eyes lit up instantly.

A first-tier technique can only be cultivated to the Blood Refining Realm at its limit, whereas a second-tier technique can be cultivated to the Organ Tempering Realm!

For a moment, Su Yu also felt some anticipation.

But just as Su Yu was about to begin cultivating the Guidance Method, a piercing sound echoed throughout the dormitory building.

"Su Yu, get out here!"
