Chapter 63: Top Ten of the Heavenly Pride Ranking, Depart for the Grand Master's Secret Realm!
Su Yu... won!
In an instant, the entire arena became utterly silent.
Su Yu stood quietly on the arena.
He slowly retracted his Hurricane Blade, his calm gaze falling on the Stone Ape.
And then he resolutely retracted.
"Stone Ape... lost!"
Someone's trembling voice sounded.
It broke the silence of this match.
At this moment, their gazes toward Su Yu underwent an earth-shaking change; if one were to say, previously in their hearts, Su Yu had already risen to the ranks of top-tier experts in the Heavenly Pride Battalion.
And following the Stone Ape's defeat by Su Yu.
In their hearts.
Su Yu had indeed become one of the very top few!
You know, the Stone Ape is a mighty expert of the Organ Tempering Realm, yet Su Yu could even defeat the Stone Ape.
That alone already explains a great deal!
"After all, only by surpassing the Holy Spear Marquis's Heavenly Pride could one enter the Heavenly Pride Battalion and, in just a few short days, actually be able to defeat an Organ Tempering Realm expert!"
Someone couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah, I originally thought this would be a battle with no suspense, but who would have thought..."
"Su Yu has thoroughly slapped all of us in the face!"
Many people couldn't help but sigh.
And among the crowd, at the edge of the arena.
Shi Sword stared at the arena above with a grim expression.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How could my brother possibly lose!"
"How could my brother possibly lose to Su Yu!"
"Illusion! This is an illusion!"
When Su Yu defeated the Stone Ape, it was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, completely shattering Shi Sword's psychological defenses.
He looked as if mad, incredulously watching the scene before him.
The people around all turned their heads, casting looks of contempt.
On the arena, just as Su Yu was about to step away, a voice suddenly echoed throughout the Heavenly Pride Battalion.
"Su Yu, quickly gather at the Chief Instructor's office!"
The voice carried a hint of heaviness, making Su Yu instantly sense something amiss.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Su Yu headed toward the office.
The remaining people looked at each other, unsure what had happened.
"What's going on? Why did the Chief Instructor call Su Yu over?"
Someone asked doubtfully.
In the crowd, someone with a solemn expression looked toward the Chief Instructor's office, murmuring.
"Could it be that the Grand Master's Secret Realm, which opens once every three years, is about to be opened?"
Su Yu slowly arrived at the door of Jiang Shang's office.
Before even entering, Su Yu felt that within Jiang Shang's office there were waves of extremely powerful energy.
At least they were all at the level of the Stone Ape's aura!
Su Yu's brows furrowed slightly.
"What's the situation?"
Although there are still some Organ Tempering Realm instructors in the Heavenly Pride Battalion, the aura Su Yu sensed now was extremely unfamiliar.
In other words, there are several unfamiliar Organ Tempering Realm experts inside Jiang Shang's office!
Su Yu took a deep breath and pushed open the office door.
All he saw were nine young men and women sitting on the sofa, while Jiang Shang sat in his own seat.
Upon seeing Su Yu enter, the nine all turned their gazes toward him.
In the eyes of several of them, a sharp light burst forth.
Before Jiang Shang could speak, a youth with a jade-like complexion stood up, smiled, extended his hand, and said to Su Yu.
"This must be this year's little genius, Su Yu, right?"
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Du Nian Guan, Heavenly Pride Ranking..."
Hearing Du Nian Guan's voice, Su Yu's pupils involuntarily sank, then he slowly extended his hand and shook Du Nian Guan's.
"Su Yu!"
After a brief introduction, Su Yu looked toward Jiang Shang and said.
"Chief Instructor, what's the situation? Why did you call me here?"
Jiang Shang sat in his seat, smiled slightly, and said.
"Let me first introduce them to you!"
"They... are all top-ten prodigies of the Heavenly Pride Ranking; before you all arrived, they had already entered the Heavenly Pride Battalion's exclusive secret realm to train, and only now have they returned!"
Hearing Jiang Shang's words, Su Yu understood.
Su Yu gave a slight nod to the few.
Among the nine, their gazes toward Su Yu were not the same.
Some were full of goodwill, some carried a hint of disdain, and some bore a little curiosity.
However, Su Yu didn't pay much attention to these.
Instead, he looked toward Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang paused, then said.
"Wang Lin, you go explain it to him!"
Wang Lin!
Su Yu's heart gave a slight jolt.
When Su Yu had just entered the Heavenly Pride Battalion, he saw his name.
He had previously been the top rank on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, and even before Su Yu and the others arrived, he was already an Organ Tempering Realm expert; after going through this Heavenly Pride Battalion secret realm.
What kind of existence has such a person grown into now!
Su Yu gazed solemnly at the nine people.
Among the nine, a slightly short youngster slowly rose to his feet, his face showing nothing but endless indifference.
His other expressions seemed never to appear on Wang Lin's face.
Wang Lin said lightly.
"Jiangnan Province, as a province of Daxia, may now be at the bottom, but throughout its history it has still produced many experts."
"A few years ago, Jiangnan Province produced an unparalleled monstrous genius; he initially directly placed in the top ten of the college entrance exam, and later, over a period of time, he repeatedly slew experts of the myriad races."
"Finally, with Grand Master Realm cultivation, he slew a Marquis-level expert of the myriad races, his fame soared; but unfortunately, after killing that myriad-race Marquis, he himself was gravely wounded, later returning to Jiangnan Province, where he left his inheritance."
As Wang Lin spoke, Su Yu's heart gradually became clear.
Indeed, Wang Lin's next sentence rang out, confirming Su Yu's guess.
"That Grand Master's inheritance was drawn into the secret realm he created; to obtain that Grand Master's inheritance, one must enter the Grand Master Secret Realm!"
"The Grand Master Secret Realm opens every three years; now is exactly the time to open it!"
As his words fell, many people's breathing in the office grew somewhat hurried.
"That is a Grand Master's inheritance, and moreover it is the inheritance of a Grand Master capable of slaying a Marquis!"
"Even looking across the whole of Daxia, such top-tier inheritances are few, not inferior to becoming a disciple of a Grand Master."
"Even though they are among the top ten of the Heavenly Pride Battalion, they couldn't help but feel moved."
At that moment, Jiang Shang's voice sounded.
"So, I called you over to let you prepare properly; we'll set out together tomorrow..."
"Grand Master Secret Realm!"
