Chapter 106: Challenge to a Duel!




Translator: Flying Lines
Many people held their head up dumbly looking at Huaxia College from where a giant dragon head revealed itself emitting billowy golden light that contained the Qi of real dragon. It was marvelous and breath-taking.
For a time, the whole Huaxia City was shivering. When the dragon head dashed out, it made the sky fade and the sun dim!
“This brat just controlled the earth momentum by virtue of Taoist Formation! He must have mastered the skill of Taoism!” Tie Baocai murmured to itself. The Taoist Sorcerers were tremendously powerful with unpredictable means of attacking!
“Boom!”
Though the dragon head was illusory, the invincible energy it broke out along with Su Yan’s anger struck Zu Yan like lightning!
Powerful as Zu Yan was, he trembled and was blasted away by the energy source that the dragon head spewed. His light shield collapsed and the Qi and blood inside him boiled up, even some blood spilled out from the corner of his mouth!
“Ah!”
Zu Yan flew into great rage as it was hard for him to believe that he was blown away by Su Yan!
Then Zu Yan dived toward Su Yan with Bronze Chariot in his hand, intending to slay Su Yan.
“What, Zu Yan? You want to break your promise in front of the whole world!”
Su Yan imposingly pointed at Zu Yan, heckling, “You already lost. Can’t you accept it? Lord Zu Yan!”
Su Yan’s voice resounded through the whole Huaxia City, which was so silent that you could hear a pin drop!
Zu Yan failed. He was blown away by Su Yan. Even a wisp of blood seeped out from his mouth! He was injured!
People were stunned. How did Su Yan do this? What was that secret art? The old generation all recognized that the intimidating force broke out in such a short time seemed to be related to the Dragon Vein. How did Su Yan control the Dragon Vein?
While the Qi of Dragon Vein flashed and vanished in a blink, the supreme dragon formation wouldn’t last long for Su Yan was nearly drained up of strength after drawing the momentum of the earth!
All because of the help of Essence Stones, or else he wouldn’t have exerted such a dominant fighting capacity!
“Just some heterodoxy tricks!”
Zu Yan’s face turned livid. Furiously he bawled, “No way! I would never forgive your crimes!”
“Hahahahaha!” Su Yan laughed out loud. “Zu Yan, my Lord Zu Yan, you are still hanging on my so-called crimes. All I ask for is a duel with you in a year! Do you dare?”
The breath-taking voice again ran through the whole Huaxia City.
People standing around were totally dumbstruck. A duel in one year with Zu Yan? They just couldn’t figure out what made Su Yan so audacious!
Even if Su Yan had the unbelievable potential in the Awakening Realm, one thing was for sure — Zu Yan was about to master the power of the rules between heaven and earth. No matter how strong Su Yan’s potential was, there was no way for him to catch up with Zu Yan within one year!
“Are you scared, Zu Yan?” Su Yan continued coldly. “Just one year, will you take the challenge? If you’re too chickened to take it, never mind what I just said!”
Zu Yan’s face turned hideous. He didn’t want to compromise. Instead, he wanted to defeat Su Yan right now and take everything Su Yan had. One year was indeed not a long time but he could not wait!
Then, Tong Huoyin who was severely injured grinned, “Excuse me? You would love to live one more year? How is that possible now that you have committed such irreparable crimes? Your insolence of picking on Deputy Dean Elder Lei is enough to sentence you to death!”
“That’s correct. You and Martial Lord have offended my dear mentor many times!” Teng Yingjie accused angrily, “When in the college, you constantly repressed me from cultivating. If it weren’t for Martial Lord, how could you have so many resources for cultivation? I’m not weaker than you! But why do you have all the good resources and I don’t?”
“Teng Yingjie, don’t overstate yourself. Don’t you know that you don’t even deserve my attention at all?” Su Yan didn’t even look at Teng Yingjie and added coldly, “As for Elder Lei, he deserved it. He failed to be an eligible deputy dean, he was so lucky that I didn’t kill him. You’ve heard me.”
Su Yan’s determined voice made people around gasp in astonishment. Wasn’t he afraid of the punishments for disrespecting the elders?
“Haha, everybody, just take a good look at Su Yan, so impolite and arrogant. He is so proud that he defeated Zu Yan with some heterodoxy tricks!” Tong Huoyin laughed in anger, “Huaxia College trained you. Yet you are so supercilious and bad-mouth the elders. You are more heartless than a savage beast!”
“That’s right. Su Yan, you deserved to die. Zu Yan your highness, please don’t fall for it. He is buying himself time. Su Yan is audacious and crafty. You must kill him!” Teng Yingjie shouted.
“Shut up!” As the whole Huaxia City was discussing heatedly, a stern voice appeared, “Teng’er, if you still think I’m your teacher, come back to me right now!”
Even Tong Huoyin was in shock as he recognized that it was Elder Lei talking!
From the gate of Huaxia College came an old man in silver robe, he was so worn out that he looked like he suddenly aged for decades, no longer domineering and vigorous like before.
“Mister!” Teng Yingjie was flurried. What was going on?
“Elder Lei!” Tong Huoyin smirked and said, “Tell us about how Su Yan offended you, in details. Look at that rampant little brat! How disgusting!”
Elder Lei didn’t even look at Tong Huoyin. His eyes were on Teng Yingjie, “Teng’er, you don’t want to come back?”
“Don’t go over there!” Ignored by Elder Lei, Tong Huoyin looked sullen and shouted ragefully at Teng Yingjie to disguise his embarrassment.
“Mister, I...” Teng Yingjie hesitated for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said, “Su Yan was indeed against you before, why don’t you just speak out? I think Su Yan defeated me several times just because he learned some crooked tricks!”
Hearing that, Elder Lei shook his head and returned to the college.
Step by step he labored his way up to the stairs, quavering, “Su Yan, I was wrong. I’m sorry for picking on you. I’m also so blind to have taken such bastard as my disciple!”
The whole Huaxia College was chilled with stillness. Liu Chengtian tried to say something but he didn’t.
Teng Yingjie’s face couldn’t be more ugly!
Su Yan was also surprised to see Elder Lei repent like that!
“From now on, Teng Yingjie is no longer my student. I will personally apologize to the Dean for my wrongdoings!" With that, step by step, Elder Lei walked inside Huaxia College, quivering.
Liu Chentian and the other elders stood in solemnity. Elder Lei regained their respects as they now all recollected the courageous figure of Elder Lei fighting in the front-line years ago.
“Mister, why!” Teng Yingjie jumped up and down due to extreme fury, roaring angrily, “You are so fucking blindfolded to cast me out! I am a Thunder Body, you’ll regret it!”
It was a grievous shame for being evicted in public, especially when Teng Yingjie overestimated himself as a talented genius.
Elder Lei’s shadow seemed even more aged as he looked up to the sky and forced a smile since he had seen through everything and he had nothing else to say.
“Tong Huoyin, the truth has all come out now. What else do you want to say?” Liu Chentian reproached.
“Excuse me, what truth?” Tong Huoyin grimly sneered, “Who knows what Su Yan has done to brainwash Elder Lei? You really buy it? Leave Elder Lei alone, what’s your explanation about Su Yan killing Tao Tianhua?”
“He had it coming. You satisfied?” Su Yan responded coldly, “As unimportant as Tao Tianhua was, he dared to attack Female Asura, one of the top ten overmatches. But now you want me dead just because I took several of Zu Yan’s treasures. What about Tao Tianhua? Based on your logic, didn’t he deserve it?”
Zu Yan’s face turned awful. Took several of his treasures? How easy he said that!
“Su Yan, you unregenerate bastard! Female Asura betrayed Huaxia Alliance. Tao Tianhua was only following the order of highness Zu Yan. She deserved it!”
As soon as Tong Huoyin finished, he was slapped in the face by a hand that was as white as a polished jade. It came too quick before Ding Jun could do anything to stop.
The slap crushed half of Tong Huoyin’s face, which made him feel dizzy as hell. He fell on the ground tragically.
“Humph!” Su Bingshuang glanced at Tong Huoyin, and then she looked at Zu Yan, “Do you have evidence?”
Everyone around lifted their ears to hear carefully for they were all concerned about it. After all Female Asura had a big influence in Huaxia Alliance.
“Female Asura, how audacious you are! Do you think you can get away with it because you’re a woman?!” Ding Jun raged, “Leave alone what Zu Yan had witnessed himself. After Su Yan rescued you, he sneaked his way into the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor along with a demon beast. And he didn’t tell any of us that he knew how to enter the mausoleum!”
“Let me make it clear!” Liu Chengtian interrupted Ding Jun and said, “On that day, Su Yan dodged into the mausoleum because Tong Huoyin was hunting him down!”
“Many people have seen it, no need to explain it!”
“Even before all that, Su Yan informed me that the mausoleum is a dangerous place so no one should intrude there. I have delivered dozens of emergency notice but no one ever listened! Let me ask all of you here, have any of you missed my message?”
People were stirred up by his words. Indeed, they got the emergency message from Liu Chengtian, that was for sure. Some of them felt lucky that they listened to Liu Chengtian’s words so they had not been killed in the mausoleum!
“But he was associating with the demon beast!” Ding Jun looked sulky. Without concrete evidence, it was so hard to prove the crimes of Female Asura and Su Yan. Even Though Zu Yan had a high virtue and a glorious name, Martial Lord and Female Asura were not inferior, too.
“Are you fucking blind!” Tie Baocai was on its tantrum when hearing what Ding Jun said, “You are a fucking retard to treat me as a demon beast! Do you only grow your eyes in your ass? I’ll fucking bury you in my toilet!”
Ding Jun’s face was ferociously twisted.
The Whole Huaxia City broke into laughter. Some girls stared at the adorable panda with passion in their eyes. It was a national treasure hundred years ago. How come it was related to the demon beast? It was the first panda they’ve ever seen since the doomsday of the earth!
“You’d better believe it! Mess with me, your uncle Baocai, I’ll make you regret to have come to this world!”
The panda with a bad temper started to yell with its eyes peering at Zu Yan, “And you, how cocky you are! Claiming yourself the No.1 master on earth?! What makes you think you own the world?”
Tie Baocai was talking and howling crazily with its head up high. How he hated to be called as “demon beast”!
The Huaxia City was silent again. People wanted to laugh but they dared not anymore.
“Shut up!” Zu Yan burst into anger and stretched his hand out in a flash. A huge hand of purple covered the sky and suppressed towards Tie Baocai!
“Ah!”
Tie Baocai screamed with its hair prickled with fear, running as fast as it could.
Liu Chengtian was stupefied to see how cocky it was and how fast it ran away like a coward!
“Buzz!”
A pair of indifferent eyes opened in Base No.9, emanating a momentum of sky-cracking and mountain-crushing that swept through the whole Huaxia Alliance!
Some people seemed to see a peerless master who stood in Base No.9 with an intimidating aura looming over the ground of hundred miles.
At that moment, all the cultivators felt extremely cold as if a divine furnace was burning up here, tearing their bodies.
