Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 447: Snatching The Championship (2)

While the single character faction members were busy shirking responsibility.

Su Yu was nonchalantly recovering his source qi. He had used quite a lot of source qi for his previous battles. Those fights may have been short, but he had used all his strength for those fights.

More big fights were waiting for him. He might be claiming that he was not interested in the slot, but he did not mean any of that. He had only fought so hard because he wanted a slot.

"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Yang, Brother Lin, there is still hope for us to get the slots."

The moment those words were said, Yang Sha looked at Lin Yao. Just what was going on exactly? Lin Yao had promised him that they might really be able to get some slots for themselves. And that was indeed the truth.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Before this, it won't be too convenient for you guys to fight against your own people. But now, if someone else wins the tournament, the slots will fall into the hands of outsiders. The strongest participants of your faction have been eliminated. Do you guys want to ask your teachers, your elder brothers, or your elders for permission to fight? If we win, your faction can still get back three of the slots..."

Their expressions changed.

Su Yu suddenly shouted, "Elder Sun, why don't you let Liu He and the others help me out? If we win, your faction will be able to get three of the slots! No, Zhou Hao is one of you as well. So you guys are going to be getting four slots back! If you insist on stopping me, all the slots will fall into the hands of others."

Su Yu laughed and continued, "As for me, this slot really isn't that important. But your single character faction should nurture the few seedlings left in your faction well, right? The other elite students of your faction have either been crippled or deprived of all academy benefits. Are you guys going to send no new students into the grotto this time?"

"..."

Elder Sun removed the soundproofing formation around him with an unsightly expression. Those words...

Were actually very reasonable.

Through this tournament, ten more of their students had been reduced into cripples. People like Di Feng and the others had also been banned from all grottos. Without all these students, how many genius students did they still have in the faction?

How many top 100 students did they still have?

But he was unwilling to give Su Yu a reply.

Since they didn't have that many talented students left, they would probably try to send people like Liu He into the grotto after this even if they failed to get anything from the tournament.

Students like Di Feng, Qiu Yi, and Huang Qifeng had been banned from grottos. Guo Shengquan had joined the so-called neutral faction. That actually left Liu He as their top under 30 student. This was...ridiculous.

The more Elder Sun thought about it, the more indignant he felt. A Mountainsea like him was actually being humiliated by a mere student. Su Yu wanted them to tell Liu He and the other students to fight alongside him? Dream on!

While resting, Su Yu smiled, "Elder Sun, don't be too petty. Consider my words. To speak the truth, I can win the tournament even if I fight alone. But that will only further showcase how worthless the single character faction is. If Senior Brother Liu and the others are willing to help me, they can at least save a tiny bit of face for you. I'm being honest here."

Elder Sun looked at Su Yu coldly. freew ebnov el

Yu Hong snorted coldly and said, "You have a sharp tongue."

Su Yu smiled, "Thank you for the praise. But I'm really being honest. If you're unwilling to work with me, forget it."

Su Yu sighed and loudly said, "Today, I shall lead my seniors from the single character faction and fight for the slots. I am thankful to the single character faction for this opportunity. If I really do end up defeated, so be it. But does the 10,000 merit points reward offered by Manager Zhou previously still count? I understand if it doesn't count anymore. This won't be the first time you guys go back on your own words."

"..."

Zhou Pingsheng looked at Su Yu coldly. Su Yu merely smiled and repeated his question, "So does it still count?"

Amid the crowd, someone joined in, "Yeah! Does it still count? If it counts, I can probably give it a try!"

That was none other than Zheng Yunhui. He seemed to know no fear. He was always around when there was a flame to be fanned.

Wu Jia also added, "If it counts, I'll challenge my junior brother as well! Maybe this will be my chance to earn some extra merit points!"

"..."

Zhou Pingsheng was furious.

Damn them!

He was a seventh-stage Cloudbreach expert, a manager at the books depository. But today, he had been turned into a joke. A bunch of juniors actually dared to humiliate him in public? This was too hateful! All of them should be killed!

After giving Su Yu a deep look, he decided to leave. He was afraid that he would really lose control over himself if he remained. He turned around and walked away.

Behind him, Su Yu's loud voice rang out, "Elders, Old Huang, so does his promise still count or not? Please give us a clear answer. He is an intermediate researcher and a manager at the books depository. We can't ignore his words, right?"

Elder Sun and company wanted to ignore Su Yu, but Old Huang asked, "Elder Sun, so does that promise still count?"

They really needed a clear answer to prevent further bickering.

Elder Sun coldly said, "Yes. It counts. Anyone capable of defeating Su Yu during this tournament will be eligible for the reward."

They could still afford to give out a reward of 10,000 merit points. If they could really stop Su Yu from getting a slot, that would be money well spent. They couldn't go back on their words this time as their reputation had already been very bad recently.

The incident involving the willpower texts had nearly turned them into the public enemy of the academy.

Su Yu smiled, "Good. Everyone heard that, right? You are all welcome to challenge me. Perhaps I might concede due to my good mood or something. Who knows? If that happens, just remember to give me a tiny share of the reward."

Nobody took those words seriously. What a joke! The only way Su Yu would actually concede was if he really couldn't get a slot for himself. Thus, their team remained unchallenged despite the reward.

Intense battles were already starting to break out in the other rings. Some of the students turned excited while some turned solemn. So what if they could win now? Would they be able to defeat Su Yu and the other strong students? These top students were too strong.

Su Yu had used only two matches to establish his dominance in the tournament. This was only the second round yet he was already failing to find a willing challenger. After witnessing his strength, a lot of people were even starting to consider giving up on the slots.

...

Time passed, and eventually, the second round came to an end.

A total of 160 teams had obtained 3 victories.

Apart from them, there was an outlier: Su Yu's team with 2 victories.

All 160 teams focused on Su Yu's team. According to the rules, they were allowed to pick a team as their challenger. They would replace the other team and advance to the next round if they could win. If not, they would be eliminated.

Some of the weaker teams started feeling helpless. There were also teams that were already badly bruised from three matches. These teams did not have the strength to keep fighting.

More importantly, there were still a few single character faction's teams among the 160 teams.

Due to the sheer size of the single character faction, they had been able to send a lot of members to the tournament. Even after so many of them were eliminated, there were still some of them left. And all these people were in fear.

Su Yu was too heavy-handed when fighting them. So many top 100 students had been crippled by him. Without a good background or support in the faction, they wouldn't even be able to properly recover from the injuries they would suffer fighting him.

Su Yu did not hesitate. He pointed at one of them and smiled, "Are you surrendering now or do you want me to beat you to a state of near death before surrendering?"

There was a familiar face in the team Su Yu had singled out. That familiar face was the reason why Su Yu had noticed them so easily.

"Senior Sister, I spared your life once. Are you thinking of fighting me again?"

Yes, the familiar face in the team was the same girl whose chest was pierced through by Su Yu previously. At that time, she had been very furious and had even claimed that she wouldn't let the matter rest.

Su Yu felt like he should give her a chance to take her revenge. Amid the crowd, Chen Huan had an ashen expression. During their previous encounter, Su Yu had humiliated her. He was setting his eyes on her again? This was too hateful!

This was unacceptable! She was about to gnash her teeth and step into the ring when her team members looked at her with unwilling expressions. They did not wish to court death. As a top 100 student, Chen Huan was not weak. But...Su Yu was too ferocious.

The rest of them weren't even top 100 students. They might even end up dead before the referee could do anything.

"Senior Sister Chen..."

They looked at her pleadingly. Just surrender. Don't bother. They didn't want to enter the ring.

...

Everyone was looking at them, waiting for their answer.

When Chen Huan sullenly admitted defeat, numerous people sighed. Su Yu alone had broken the spine of an entire generation of the single character faction.

They had been thoroughly defeated. Facing him, some of them had been crippled, some had been seriously injured, and some had ended up punished by the academy.

Among their stronger students, Di Feng, the strongest of them, was the only one who had yet to fight Su Yu. But even Di Feng was only as strong as the five students Su Yu had defeated earlier. A fight between them would only end in humiliation for Di Feng.

Su Yu said, "What a pity that Senior Brother Di Feng and the others aren't in the academy. Otherwise, I could have challenged the top 100 as well. I wonder how high I can climb this time."

Nobody answered.

Liu Hong ignored that final remark and announced, "The second round is over. 160 teams have advanced to the next round. For the third round, you will be drawing for your opponents. Half the teams will advance to the next round. This will be repeated until the sixth round when the top 10 will be decided."

He no longer bothered with special formats. Su Yu had smashed through all his tricks with brute force.

If he kept coming up with more special formats, Su Yu might even find the chance to ruin the few remaining single character faction teams. That would only give the single character faction more trouble.
