Chapter 194: A lesson For You (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

"I won!"

Su Yu did not let his classmates walk him all the way back. He walked with them for a bit before taking his leave. When he was alone, he finally showed his excitement.

He won!

It felt great!

This was a good day for him. Not only had him vented his anger, but he had even earned a large profit.

"Serves you right for bullying and looking down on me!"

The only thing making the day less perfect was the fact that he had to waste a drop of source qi liquid. He didn't intend to help heal Chen Qi, but he had to protect his persona. He was an honest and kind person. He had only done something like this after being pushed beyond his limit by his opponents. Look at how he helped heal his opponent after the fight. He was totally a good person.

As for the fact that he was the one who had dealt the injury, well, it was a fight. It was normal to suffer injuries during a fight. Furthermore, Chen Qi was the one who had challenged him first. He had taken the chance to make it clear to the crowd that Chen Qi was the challenger, not him.

He definitely couldn't let anyone get the idea that he was the one who had intentionally approached Chen Qi and tricked him into a match.

"I wonder if there will be any consequences for this. In any case, I have thoroughly offended Lin Yao this time. I might have offended their club as well."

As for Chen Qi, Su Yu had no idea what that person would feel, but at this point, it no longer mattered.

"Sigh. I did not ask for the merit points on the spot because I wanted to act graceful. Would they renege on the debt?"

Su Yu started worrying. What could he do if they refused to pay? Also, someone else had conceded on behalf of Lin Yao. Would that count? They hadn't actually met each other in a ring.

"I'm quite worried. Also, how about Xia Huyou's betting pool? He must have earned a lot, right? Would he share the profit with me?"

...

Numerous worries rose in Su Yu's mind, so his previous excitement faded. He had used a drop of blood essence and source qi liquid for this. If they ended up reneging, he would make a loss. In Su Yu's opinion, he was too poor to withstand such a loss.

...

.

Research center.

Today, Bai Feng had finally shaved his messy stubble. He had also changed into a new set of clothes, making him look much better and smarter than before.

When he saw Su Yu return with a worried expression, he asked curiously, "You lost?"

"No, I won."

"You won?"

Bai Feng rolled his eyes. Why did the kid look like he had lost?

Bai Feng had not bothered going to the match. He had been confident that Su Yu would win.

Su Yu sullenly said, "Teacher, I was too embarrassed to ask for the merit points after I won. I don't know if they will renege on it..."

Bai Feng was speechless. Was that why the kid had such an expression? He had thought that the kid had lost.

"What are you thinking?" Bai Feng grumbled. "Unless they intend to leave the academy, nobody can renege on a debt. Otherwise, they can wait to be expelled from the academy. Do they really think that I'm a pushover?"

The same applied to Su Yu. If he had lost, he must pay as well. Otherwise, trouble would come.

Bai Feng already had everything planned. If Su Yu really ended up losing, they would have to go look for Wu Yuehua. Naturally, Su Yu would have to be the one to go looking for her, not him.

He asked, "So you won 300 merit points?"

"1,300."

Su Yu blinked. Was Bai Feng not aware of that?

"..."

Bai Feng was stunned.

What?

"1,300 merit points?"

"Yeah!" Su Yu softly said, "300 points from Lin Yao. Didn't Chen Qi make a bet of 1,000 points with me as well? Didn't I tell you that?"

"..."

Bai Feng was still dazed. He asked, "You fought Chen Qi as well?"

Weird.

This kid had returned quite early. Did he finish two fights so quickly? Were the two fights supposed to be a joke? Did both fights end instantly?

Su Yu had taken less than an hour to return after leaving the research center earlier. And he also needed time to travel between the research center and the ring. There was also the wait before the fight. Was everything over already?

Furthermore, Bai Feng was really unaware of the bet of 1,000 merit points with Chen Qi. He only knew that the two had agreed to fight, but he did not know about the bet.

Su Yu had never told him that!

"1,300 merit points..." Bai Feng suddenly turned solemn and said, "I'll go collect your debt with you! Damn those bastards! How dare they not pay after losing? Are they still worthy of being a student of our academy?"

"..."

Su Yu rolled his eyes. His merit points must have caught his teacher's attention.

Bai Feng was clearly still indifferent just a moment ago, but right after hearing about the 1,300 merit points, his eyes started shining.

Bai Feng asked, "You defeated Chen Qi?"

"Yeah."

"How did you win?"

"Uhm..." Su Yu thought about it and waved his hand, "Like this. I impaled him on the ground with one attack. The end."

"..."

Bai Feng decided to say nothing. Was Hu Wensheng's student really so worthless? He was defeated by Su Yu so easily?

This kid...

"Did you consume blood essence during the fight?"

"Yeah," Su Yu nodded. "Lin Yao accused me of drugging him. I was furious so I used all my strength to defeat Chen Qi in one move."

Bai Feng was getting confused.

If Lin Yao was the one who had slandered Su Yu, why was Chen Qi the one to be defeated with one move?

Forget it. He gave up trying to learn more. He was even starting to regret not watching the match. This kid was really bad at storytelling.

Su Yu had defeated Chen Qi with one move. Not even Bai Feng had imagined that happening.

No matter what, Chen Qi was a student who was near the level of a top 100 student. Although he had failed in his previous bid to enter the Top 100 Ranking, he was still strong enough to have the courage to challenge the ranking.

In that case, was Su Yu now a top 500 student? One ought to know that there were countless students in the academy. There were tens of thousands of students under 30 years old.

Bai Feng looked at Su Yu again and took a deep breath before calmly saying, "Did you use your cultural weapon as well?"

"Yeah. I used all three of my Divine Characters too."

"Hmm?" Bai Feng's eyes flickered, "Three Divine Characters? Didn't you defeat him with one move?"

"Yeah. I fused all three characters into the cultural weapon before defeating him with one move."

"Fuse?"

Bai Feng was alarmed.

Su Yu had fused his Divine Characters?

Su Yu coughed and explained, "Teacher, I have enough confidence. This is not my first fusion. During my entrance exam, I tried fusing the lightning and blood characters. I succeeded. That was why I did so well in the exam..."

Bai Feng wanted to shout at someone. Su Yu had never told him about that!

Bastard!

This kid had learned to fuse Divine Characters long ago!

Bai Feng was really unaware of that. He knew that Su Yu did well in the Mark of Culture test. But he had assumed that Su Yu had performed so well thanks to his two Divine Characters. Thus, Bai Feng had never bothered asking.

But it turned out that Su Yu had already attempted Divine Character fusion before.

Damn this kid! What a bastard! Why hadn't he mentioned that earlier?

The official examination records wouldn't mention Su Yu's character fusion, so only Su Yu and the proctors present would be aware of that.

Bai Feng calmed down and resisted the urge to crush Su Yu's head and gently patted Su Yu's head. However, that action caused Su Yu to pale in fear again.

Was his teacher having one of his episodes again?

"Fusion...so you already tried fusing Divine Characters before. And this time, you even fused three Divine Characters?"

"I didn't fully fuse them." Su Yu cautiously said, "It's more like I overlapped them. I didn't even fully make use of their abilities. According to my initial intention, I should have been able to confuse Chen Qi with illusions, paralyze him with lightning, before killing him with my saber...cough, I mean defeat him with my saber.

"The three Divine Characters have different abilities. I should have been able to use those abilities if the fusion had been perfect. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to do it. After wounding him with my saber, my bleeding ability should have activated as well, but nothing happened. Therefore, that was only a simple overlap of characters, not true fusion. Am I right?"

"Yes."

Bai Feng was tired. His student had deduced everything. There was nothing left for him to say.

"Therefore, I'll teach you true character fusion after this."

Bai Feng decided to change the topic. He was afraid that if he continued asking, he would get a heart attack from anger.

Was this kid really not capable of getting into the top 100 by the end of the year?

Not necessarily.

His sense of loss from the previous day vanished. Even if Su Yu really had a bad talent in myriad race characters, it wouldn't matter. Even if this kid really ended up stuck at the Mountainsea Realm in the future, he would still be a super expert among those in that realm.

Furthermore, Su Yu hadn't even read that many myriad race texts. Who knew if he was really incapable of forming myriad race characters?

"Come on. We're going to the books depository."

"Teacher, aren't we going to collect our debts first?"

"This is too fast. Wait a day. If they don't send the points over by tonight, I'll look for them tomorrow."

Bai Feng decided to give them a little bit of time so that he wouldn't seem too desperate. He couldn't act like someone who had never seen merit points before.

Su Yu nodded. Fine. He would give them one day. If they waited any longer to pay up, he would have to visit them with his teacher.
