When Su Yu opened his eyes and looked over, he saw a one-eyed middle-aged man wearing flowery clothes and an eyepatch. He seemed ferocious, but his gaze was gentle.
Su Yu's pupils contracted when he saw that this person was unexpectedly a Divine Master expert!
The one-eyed man was sizing Su Yu up with a curious gaze, while a slight look of approval appeared on his face.
It was rare to see someone like him, who could deal with spatial teleportation calmly.
Even Shangguan Yunque wasn't as calm as him.
"Well, Uncle Qin, why are you the one guarding the formation?" Shangguan Yunque asked in surprise. "In the past, weren't the outer family elders the ones guarding the formation?"
The one-eyed middle-aged man in front of him was the one guarding the formation.
Uncle Qin's gaze moved away from Su Yu, while his expression changed slightly. "It's good that you came back. The family master was about to send some experts to receive you."
"Uncle Qin, what happened?" Shangguan Yunque raised his brows. It seemed like something was amiss.
This teleportation formation led directly to the Shangguan family, which was why it was so important. So, it was guarded by three Level Nine Fairy Realm outer family elders all year round.
It was only in times of emergency that they would send Divine Masters to guard it. This was something rarely seen in the Shangguan family's thousand years of history.
"It's a long story. You should quickly pay your respects to the family master."
Shangguan Yunque realized that the situation was urgent, so he didn't dare delay any longer.
"Uncle Qin, please arrange for my two friends. I will come back quickly." Shangguan Yunque cupped his fists at Su Yu and Yuan Yingying, then quickly left.
Yuan Yingying whispered into Su Yu's ear, "It seems like something happened in the Yuan family."
Su Yu nodded slowly. He could already see some clues about what had happened on the Bird Island three days ago.
"Sirs, let the attendants take you to a side room. I'm guarding this place, so it's not convenient for me to send you off," Uncle Qin said.
Su Yu cupped his fists at him and said, "Senior, I don't dare to trouble you."
A pretty female attendant led them to a side room where the Shangguan family received guests.
Shangguan Yunque had instructed them to go to a side room, which was quite luxurious. It was a top-notch one, and it was only used to receive distinguished guests.
Drink!
Bang!
Before they even approached the courtyard, they heard several shouts echoing from it. It seemed like someone was practicing.
The shouts were filled with vigorous blood energy, and Su Yu could faintly see a blood-red light shooting out of the courtyard, which dyed half of the sky red.
When he looked through the courtyard's gate, he saw a group of youngsters, who were less than twenty years old, sparring in it.
Their ages were generally above sixteen and below twenty.
However, none of them were weak.
The weakest among them was a Three Crystals Half Fairy, while the highest was a Level Four Fairy!
The Level Four Fairy's opponent was an 18-year-old youth. His fists were extremely smooth, and every time he waved them, the surrounding air would fluctuate.
After Su Yu had been in Jiuzhou for a month, his mind gradually came to him. It seemed like Jiuzhou's world was much sturdier than the Zhenlong World's, as its space was extremely hard. In the past, it would have been easy for Su Yu to shatter the Zhenlong World's space, but in Jiuzhou, it was difficult for him to even shake the space.
The fact that this lad was able to shake the space showed how powerful his physical strength was. He was definitely not weaker than Su Yu, who had the First Dragon's Body.
Su Yu was just at the Half Fairy Realm, so it would be unfair to compare him to a Level Four Fairy Realm expert.
"As expected of the number one genius of the Thousand Watershed Ridge, this fist has the strength of five elephants! It's at least an elephant's power higher than an ordinary Level Four Fairy's. Brother Zhang Fan, you will surely get one of the Red Blood Palace's outer disciple quotas, "a short-haired man wearing a leopard skin exclaimed in admiration.
An elephant was the unit that Jiuzhou's martial artists used to measure their physical strength.
The Great Power King Kong Elephant was a common demonic beast in Jiuzhou, and it was famous for its great physical strength. Every elephant's power was equal to a human expert who had just advanced to the Level One Fairy Realm. This was why it was used as a unit to measure one's physical strength.
Normally, a Level One Fairy Realm expert possessed an elephant's power, while a Level Two Fairy Realm expert possessed an elephant's power. Moreover, every time one's cultivation made a breakthrough, their power would increase by an elephant's power.
Once one's physical strength reached the All Creation Realm, one would become a legendary All Creation Old Monster.
It could be seen from this that the disparity between an All Creation Old Monster and a Fairy Realm expert was obvious.
The youngster, whose name was Zhang Fan, was a Level Four Fairy Realm expert. Normally, he only possessed four elephants' power, so it was quite difficult for him to cultivate five elephants.
It seemed like these people had the same goal as them, which was to enter the Red Blood Palace and use the Shangguan family's recommendation to take the palace's entrance exam.
Zhang Fan sighed. "Entering the Red Blood Palace is easier said than done. The Double Extinction Exam is a bloody path, and even experts with six elephants' power aren't sure if they can pass it. It's still too early to say such a thing. "
Although he was sighing, his tone sounded as if he was the only one who could do it.
The rest of the people understood his meaning, but they pretended not to notice it and continued praising him.
This was understandable, as one of the Red Blood Palace's entrance exams was extremely dangerous, and if one could befriend some experts, they would have a higher chance of passing it.
Su Yu looked at Zhang Fan and nodded calmly. It seemed like entering the Red Blood Palace wasn't an easy task.
"Hey, look over there! We have new neighbors! It's a young girl and her servant." The man in leopard pelt noticed out of the corner of his eye that a female attendant had brought someone over. He exclaimed in surprise, "It's strange! Half a month has passed since the recommendation deadline. So, why are there still people coming here?"
"Hey, where did you get recommended? Are you from the Nine Mountains, Seven Mountains, Six Caves, and Five Villas? "the youth in leopard pelt asked.
They were all recommended representatives from the regions governed by the Shangguan family, so they were qualified to participate in the Red Blood Palace's entrance exam.
Yuan Yingying replied, "The Blue Mountain Range."
"Impossible!" The youth in leopard pelt said. "The Shangguan family gave up on recruiting talents from the Blue Mountain Range many years ago, so how could you come from there?"
The Shangguan Clan had set up a martial arts dojo in each of the nine mountain ranges, seven mountain ranges, six caves, and five villas.
Only the Cang Mountain Range was located in a desolate area, where resources were scarce and there was a lack of outstanding disciples. The Shangguan Clan didn't care about it.
The most important thing was that the Blue Mountain Range was very close to the Soul Seizing Palace, and the Soul Seizing Palace would hold the Blue Mountain Meet every year to directly recruit the strongest geniuses. This made it even more difficult for the Shangguan Clan to recruit outstanding people.
After hundreds of years of "zero" recommendations, they simply canceled the recommendation organization.
That was why they were so surprised that someone from the Cang Mountain Range would recommend them.
"Don't tell me you guys used your connections to get here?" The leopard clad youth narrowed his eyes.
When Yuan Yingying heard the insult in his words, she said angrily, "What does it have to do with you?"
The leopard skinned youth chuckled, "It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with us! Those who take shortcuts are not welcome here. "
The maidservant, who was about to enter, immediately found herself in a difficult position. She did not know whether to enter or not.
Yuan Yingying was somewhat angry that they were targeting them for no reason.
Su Yu looked at the leopard skinned youth disdainfully and said, "It seems like you only have this much potential."
They obviously would not target Su Yu and Yuan Yingying for no reason. They just wanted to make things difficult for them because they had one less person to pass the exam.
They did not consider their own power, but instead placed their hopes on luck. So, what if they managed to pass the exam?
"Well? You are a young miss who has to take a servant with you even during the exam. Why don't I see anything special about you? " The corners of the youth's mouth curled up into a mocking smile as he denied that he was trying to ostracize Su Yu and Yuan Yingying.
Su Yu didn't bother with him, so he pulled Yuan Yingying along and walked toward his own room.
"Stop! Didn't I say that we don't welcome shortcuts here? You should look for another place to stay, "the leopard skinned youth said.
Su Yu replied calmly, "Did you say that? Why don't you tell me which young master of the Shangguan Family you are? The Shangguan Family asked us to stay here, yet you want to drive us away? You are really arrogant! "
The leopard skinned youth's expression changed slightly. He then said fiercely, "Don't spout nonsense! I just don't like people like you, who reap without sowing anything! We all managed to pass the exam in a dignified manner, so you two can't compare to us! "
Su Yu squinted his eyes and said, "You keep saying that you reap without sowing anything and take shortcuts. Why don't you show me how much stronger a dignified genius like you is compared to someone like me, who takes shortcuts?"
The geniuses in the surroundings, who were waiting for a good show, all revealed hopeful looks.
Although the leopard skinned youth's behavior was inappropriate, the old man, who had just arrived, was arrogant and displeased. So, they decided to take this opportunity to see how strong this old man was.
"Hehe, Tang Feng is a Level Three Fairy Realm expert. That old man is really interesting, as he challenged him directly. Doesn't he know that he fell for a provocation?"
"It seems like he still doesn't understand the courtyard's rules. Anyone who challenges someone will lose their chance to pass the exam if they lose. He's already so old, yet he's still so impulsive!"
The leopard skinned youth revealed a sinister smile. "Fine, I accept your challenge."
Su Yu's expression didn't change at all as he listened to the crowd's discussions.
In his eyes, Tang Feng was just a nuisance, not even a nuisance.
It wouldn't be difficult for him to defeat him, and he had only challenged him because he didn't want to get into trouble. After all, one must keep a low profile.
