Zhou Pingsheng said nothing else and sent the students away. After they left, he started frowning. Just what was his teacher thinking?

A new faction master had yet to be appointed. Due to Xia Yuwen's injuries, his teacher had also started losing interest in taking over the books depository. But the position of the head manager was supposed to be his, not Xia Yuwen’s. Why was his teacher losing interest just because of Xia Yuwen's injuries?

Without the position as a head manager, how was he supposed to become an elder? Even if he could become the faction master, he still wouldn't be able to get promoted into an elder.

"Teacher cares more about his own advancement into the Sunmoon Realm, not us..."

Zhou Pingsheng snorted unhappily. Just look at his senior brother, Zheng Yuming. Previously, their teacher had promised to rob a grave and get him a new character. But even now, Zheng Yuming was still bedridden with destroyed characters. How was he supposed to survive the Allheaven Battlefield in his current condition?

He rapped on the desk as he thought. After a while, his eyes flickered. Perhaps...it was time he did something himself. He couldn't rely on his teacher all the time. At the very least, he needed to get the position of head manager for himself.

"I'll get 10 students to block Wu Jia's path into the top 100 and get Su Yu stuck above top 90. That way, he won't be able to drop out of the ranking while Wu Jia would be stuck outside the ranking."

That was the best idea he could think of. Keeping Wu Jia out of the ranking for the rest of the year was still the best option. Otherwise, it would be hard to kick Chen Yong out of his position.

Of course, the premise for that was Wu Jia's inability to defeat the 10 students. But she had already recovered from her injury. And she was by no means a weak student. Unless she suffered from another injury, it would be hard to keep her out of the ranking.

Suddenly, he thought of someone.

Zhou Hao!

That was a truly ruthless individual. He had been badly injured during his fight against Su Yu, but Xia Yuwen was rich enough to help him recover. The recovery of the flesh was easy so Zhou Hao had almost fully recovered.

"Zhou Hao...that kid grew up among beasts. He is a killer of no remorse...It won't be surprising if someone like him kills Wu Jia by accident during a match. As for the repercussions of that...well, that's a problem for Zhou Hao and Xia Yuwen to solve."

But he definitely couldn't get his own hands dirty. He had to avoid being implicated by it.

Liu Hong!

Suddenly, a name appeared in Zhou Pingsheng's mind. That fellow would be the perfect person to carry out this plan on his behalf.

...

Su Yu was still in seclusion.

A rumor started spreading in the academy.

While taking a stroll, Wu Jia heard some students whispering, "I heard Wu Jia wasn't supposed to get a slot for this Willpower Grotto. But the multiple character faction decided to sacrifice Su Yu to give Wu Jia this slot."

"What a pity. Su Yu had fought Zhou Hao, Qiu Yi, and the others for Wu Jia. But he has been abandoned just like that."

"Wasn't Wu Jia the reason he has offended so many people? With his talent, he would have received the multiple character faction's full support if it wasn't for Wu Jia."

"True. But why has the multiple character faction picked Wu Jia instead of Su Yu?"

"She's a woman, so...you know what I mean...hehehe..."

Wu Jia's face turned ashen.

She roared at the students, "What are you talking about!"

When the students saw her, they hurriedly walked off without even saying anything to her. Wu Jia was furious. She wanted to give chase, but she decided against it after some thought. She merely stomped her foot on the ground in anger.

As she walked, she kept hearing different versions of the same rumor. She was infuriated. Furthermore, each version seemed to be even uglier than the previous. Wu Jia held her anger in and decided to return to the books depository. But on her way back, she stumbled upon a few students.

Huang Qifeng.

Di Feng.

A bunch of bastards.

Huang Qifeng's face was pale. He had clearly not fully recovered. When he saw Wu Jia, resentment filled his eyes.

He had nearly fully recovered from his willpower injury, but his characters had also been destroyed. That was not something he could just recover from. He had to form his characters from scratch. That would delay his cultivation by at least a year.

When he saw Wu Jia, he sneered, "Are you going to the books depository again? All students have their own accommodations in the academy. But a certain student sure is lucky. She gets to treat the books depository as her home. A single man and a single woman living together. Tsk tsk. I now understand why the multiple character faction has given you the slot instead of Su Yu."

Beside him, Di Feng smiled and said, "Junior Brother, enough. Su Yu was probably forced to help her anyway. After all, that's his martial aunt..."

"Bastard! What are you talking about!"

Wu Jia raged. She was feeling murderous. These people were slandering the relationship between her and her teacher. These shameless bastards! She wanted to kill them!

Huang Qifeng coughed lightly. His face remained pale while his eyes turned cold as he said, "Why? So we're not allowed to talk anymore? Since when is the multiple character faction so overbearing? Books depository? More like filth depository! If you are not involved in any shameful deed, why are you afraid of mere words? A single man and a single woman are living together every single day. Who knows what you do there? Hehe, I now understand why Su Yu was so ruthless during the fight. He was probably too scared to hold back."

"Bullshit!" Wu Jia grew more and more furious.

Huang Qifeng merely laughed and indifferently said, "Sure. Whatever you say. But all the students know what's happening behind the scenes. Otherwise, it is not logical that instead of Su Yu, you're the one with the slot. Not even Bai Feng could get anything. You are the sole exception. Hahaha!"

Wu Jia said, "You guys were the one who had blacklisted my junior brother!"

"Hadn't he offended our faculty head because of you?" Huang Qifeng said, "Ultimately, you're the reason for this. Wu Jia, why are you pretending to be innocent and pure? If you're already a whore, be open about it."

"Die!"

In her fury, Wu Jia's cultural weapon appeared. She could no longer take this. These people were slandering her, her teacher, and her junior brother.

Huang Qifeng narrowed his eyes and sneered as he took a few steps back. Meanwhile, Di Feng looked eager. He was looking forward to kill her after she made the first move.

In the academy, anyone caught attacking a student outside of a ring could be executed as a cultist. Nobody would be blamed for someone killed like this.

Right that moment, someone passed by and berated them, "What are you doing? Are you fighting illegally in the academy? Are you tired of living? What is wrong with the academy nowadays?"

That helped Wu Jia regain her clarity of mind. She hurriedly looked at the speaker.

Not far away, Zhang Hao was walking with a few other genius students. With a frown, he said, "What a mess. The academy is really accepting all sorts of trash nowadays. What are you looking at?"

WIth a snort, he walked away. The other students also gave them a look of disdain before leaving. Junior Brother Zhang was right. Because of these people, the academy was in a mess nowadays.

Di Feng frowned. He looked at Zhang Hao and cursed inwardly. Damn that bastard! He ruined their plan!

But he wasn't suspicious of it. Zhang Hao was a freak, the treasure of the Talisman Faculty. He had always been an arrogant student with high standards. It was perfectly normal for him to look down on Di Feng even if Di Feng was stronger currently.

In the Talisman Faculty, even the senior students couldn't help orbiting around this Zhang Hao.

Wu Jia was still furious, but she was finally able to think straight. She knew that if she made a move here, that would be tantamount to suicide. After clenching her teeth, he said, "Just you wait, bastards!"

Huang Qifeng was regretful, but he still sneered and said, "What are we supposed to be waiting for? For you to look for Su Yu? Hehe, is sleeping with your own teacher not enough? You're now setting your eyes on your junior brother as well?"

"Die!"

Once again, Wu Jia lost control of her temper.

Her willpower erupted in anger. Just as Di Feng was about to make a move, a grinning individual not far away said, "Get into a ring before you fight. What's the point of wasting time outside a ring? I can even be your referee. Why don't we have a match to the death?"

Di Feng was infuriated. Who was it this time?

Not far away, a sloppy Zhao Ming could be seen sipping on some beverage while grinning. He said, "Wu Jia, where's your junior brother? Previously, he said that he's going to challenge the ranking after three days. I have been waiting for a few days. Where is he? Tell him to show up soon and get me something to do. I have too much free time nowadays."

After being interrupted twice in a row, Wu Jia finally regained her calm. After giving the two another glare, she ignored Zhao Ming and left with her head lowered. She knew that those bastards were deliberately trying to provoke her into making a move. She was going crazy from anger.

Even if she got into a ring, she wouldn't be Di Feng's match. And she wasn't qualified to challenge him anyway. As for Huang Qifeng, that person would definitely not dare to get in a ring in his current condition. f reeweb novel.com

Both Di Feng and Huang Qifeng were feeling terrible. Zhao Ming!

Damn him!

This fellow was creating trouble again!

Their plan had failed.

Di Feng gestured at Huang Qifeng to be patient. With Wu Jia's temper, she wouldn't be able to stay silent for long. They only needed to keep spreading these rumors. They silently left as well.

After everyone left, Zhao Ming frowned. He looked in Wu Jia's direction. The little girl wasn't too strong, yet her temper was exceptionally fiery. Since the single character faction could do nothing to the other members of the multiple character faction, they were clearly targeting her.

It wasn't like they had any other options. The multiple character faction was filled with someone who could never be seen, someone who was scarily patient, and a crafty fox like Su Yu.

Wu Jia was the only option left for the single character faction.

"Chen Yong..."

Looking at the distant books depository, Zhao Ming muttered to himself. There was nothing he could do about this. He could do something to help if he happened to be around, but he couldn't follow the girl all day long, right?

That girl should learn to control her temper.

If Su Yu was put in the same position, he would probably completely ignore the rumors.

...

At the same time.

Inside the grotto.

One of the jade talismans Su Yu was carrying with him vibrated. He was astonished to find that he could actually receive messages even inside a grotto. He had assumed that all connections with the outside world would be cut. It was evident that this voice transmission talisman was really well made.

After checking the message, an ominous glint filled his eyes. Those people were courting death! Even after receiving such a terrible beating from him, Huang Qifeng still dared to show up and create trouble for them. Was that fellow really not afraid of death?

There was also Di Feng. Did that bastard think that he wouldn't dare to kill anyone?

A match to the death...

Suddenly, Su Yu thought of that. The permission of his teacher would be required to do something like that. If it wasn't for Bai Feng's absence, he would have killed Zhou Hao during their match.

"It seems like the saying is right. When removing weed, you need to remove the roots as well."

Su Yu gnashed his teeth furiously. Those fellows dare to continue creating trouble even after what he did to them. They were really courting death.

His grandteacher said that the single character faction was their shield. But if the so-called shield was courting death, then they should destroy this shield and look for a new shield.

After some thought, Su Yu sent a message to Xia Huyou.

Xia Huyou had not been invited to the Mutual Aid Club, but that fellow had pestered him for a voice transmission talisman after seeing Chen Hao with one. Su Yu did not object and gave him one. And this was the perfect time to make use of that.

The other members of the Mutual Aid Club wouldn't be able to do anything here, but Xia Huyou would definitely be able to drag things out for at least a few days.

"I'll take care of them after leaving the grotto."

Su Yu's eyes flickered as the murderous intent within them dispersed. He was in the middle of opening the Body Strengthening Art acupoints. All in all, he had opened 210 acupoints. He was only a tiny bit away from completing the Body Strengthening Art. After completing it, he would work on the Sky Sundering Saber. He was sure he would need no more than three days to complete his cultivation goal and leave the grotto.

"A proper way to kill...I can either do it in a match to the death or make them attack me outside a ring."

Previously, he had nearly succeeded in making Di Feng attack him outside a ring. Di Feng wasn't exactly a smart person. And he had a bad temper as well. Thinking of all that, Su Yu started drawing up a plan.

"Huang Qifeng...Di Feng...Zhou Pingsheng..."

Name after name crossed his mind. These fellows were truly courting death. For the position of the head manager, they were pulling out all sorts of shameless tricks.

Huang Qifeng's teacher, Zheng Yuming, had been gravely injured. This Huang Qifeng had probably realized that he no longer had a backer and was trying to fawn on Zhou Pingsheng. That was most likely why he was making a move against the multiple character faction again.

"Chen Qi..."

Yet another name appeared in Su Yu's mind. This person would be useful when it comes to information gathering. Su Yu could even try to find out what those fellows cared about most from Chen Qi.

He aimed to finish them off before they could even enter the Willpower Grotto.
