Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 740 - 356: For the Clan’s Survival, the Unworthy Descendants Can Only Send Mountain Ancestor to His Death!_3
The two lines of text briefly appeared and then disappeared, the entire process taking less than a second.
Su Tu’s gaze turned to Jia Xun, the Buddha’s Son. The enmity between him and Chen Shan was known to no one but themselves.
In the eyes of outsiders, although Su Tu’s sect had grievances with the Chen Family, Su Tu was here as a representative of the Academy, attending the birthday banquet.
Yet, at this moment, this Jia Xun, the Buddha’s Son, reminded him that Chen Shan intended to harm him.
This Buddha’s Son certainly knew something.
Thinking back, the last time Su Tu saw Jia Xun, the Buddha’s Son, he could already sense the other’s extraordinary nature.
Moreover, at that time, Jia Xun had mouthed something to him.
What he said was... ’Beware of me.’
Piecing everything together, it was not hard to see that there was indeed a great secret in Jia Xun, the Buddha’s Son.
But why would the other party remind him?
Was it merely because he had promised Master Ku Wen to represent the Celestial Capital Temple at the Wenwu Bell Tower?
No! Su Tu sensed that it was not that simple.
Just as Su Tu was about to speak, Mo Chenghai brought Zhao Bodang in front of him.
"Old.. Su Tu, this seating is not as simple as we thought."
Mo Chenghai began to speak. He had previously agreed with Su Tu that in private, he could address him however he liked, but in front of others, he couldn’t call Su Tu his teacher.
"What’s going on?" Su Tu asked.
Mo Chenghai nudged Zhao Bodang, indicating for him to speak.
Zhao Bodang, putting away his previous carefree demeanor with Mo Chenghai, looked at Su Tu with a smile, resembling a gentle young aristocrat.
"Brother Su, hello, I’m Zhao Bodang. This grand birthday of the Mountain Ancestor is ostensibly to invite the various prodigies of Celestial City Star to compete, but in reality, the real competition is in selecting among us."
"The winner of the competition will obtain the mystery of the Mountain Ancestor’s rise, which is what we outsiders known as... the Immortal Enigma!" Zhao Bodang said.
Upon hearing this, Su Tu was not surprised, only nodding slightly.
"However, this competition is different from regular ones. When Brother Su entered, you saw that arena." Zhao Bodang continued.
Su Tu spoke, "I saw it, but that arena seemed out of place with the old house."
"Of course, it seemed out of place. That ring was moved here recently.
At dawn tomorrow, the contest begins. Anyone with confidence can take the stage, and by noon, the one standing on the platform will be the one who obtains the secret." Zhao Bodang explained.
"I see, the Chen Family sure has a variety of tricks. Thank you, Brother Zhao, for the information." Su Tu replied politely.
Zhao Bodang chuckled lightly at Su Tu’s words, then returned the greeting, "Brother Su, don’t mention it. It’s my honor to converse with such a prodigious talent as you."
"By the way, your accommodations have been arranged, and a member of the Chen Family will take you there."
"As for this kid, Brother Su, let me borrow him for a moment. It’s been a while since we last met, I want to catch up with him."
Zhao Bodang pointed at Mo Chenghai and said.
Su Tu waved his hand, indicating he could go as he pleased.
He then ignored Mo Chenghai’s speechless expression, allowing Mo Chenghai to be dragged away by Zhao Bodang.
Su Tu looked to his side, where it was already empty; Buddha’s Son Jia Xun had disappeared without a trace.
With Su Tu’s keen senses, even when conversing with others, the changes around him never escaped his perception.
But at the time of Jia Xun’s disappearance, Su Tu was completely unaware, and if not for looking, he still wouldn’t have noticed the other’s departure.
This already indicated the extraordinary nature of Buddha’s Son Jia Xun.
"Interesting..."
Su Tu thought, then leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings, noticing similar young figures.
Each carried a remarkable aura; they were all disciples from the great powers of Celestial City Star, qualified to attend this preliminary feast and vie for the secret of Chen Shan’s rise, which already predetermined their extraordinary prowess.
And according to the rules Zhao Bodang just described, only one could remain standing on the stage tomorrow.
This foretold how fierce and intense tomorrow’s slaughter and battle would be.
These people clustered in small groups, exchanging smiles, but their eyes assessed one another.
All preparing for tomorrow’s fight.
But only Su Tu, sitting alone on the chair, maintained an expression of neither anguish nor joy.
Indeed, these people were outstanding talents, but excluding Buddha’s Son Jia Xun, the others...
"You still have to be careful, make sure not to end up killed by someone..."
Su Tu whispered to himself.
Among his generation, perhaps there were those who could match him, but on this Celestial City Star, none could challenge him.
Even that Jia Xun, he only felt somewhat extraordinary, and in a friendly match, they might exchange a few rounds, but in a fight to the death...
In three breaths, he could render the Dragon Nurturing Temple of Celestial City Star without another Buddha’s Son!
However, Su Tu understood that his opponent this time was never this group of young people, but rather the one who now controlled every move within the old Chen Family mansion... Chen Shan!
Frankly, he was very curious about what Chen Shan was plotting.
He came as a representative of Starship Academy, and if anything unexpected happened, the Academy would definitely not spare the Chen Family.
The five great families were indeed powerful, but they couldn’t compare to such a transcendental force as the Academy.
Su Tu had recently met the frenzied Kong Chunqiu, whose aura was terrifying and methods mysterious, as if the heavens existed with him alone.
However, compared to the techniques the Dean of Starship Academy had previously displayed, Kong Chunqiu’s aura was slightly inferior.
Which meant that the Dean’s cultivation had surpassed that of a Daoist Master.
