"I'm sorry. There are only nine spots left and you've failed to make it. But with your talent, you will be able to stand out from the first round. It won't be a problem for you to make it to the next round. Good luck!"
The teacher comforted the young man.
The young man couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that there would be ten spots? I've just been through a tough battle and my battle pet is injured. How can you tell me that there's no spot for me?"
The other nine students were just as confused. There were ten spots, and one was missing?
The student ranked number five on the Royal Ranking felt sorry for the young man. He was glad that he was ranked number nine. Otherwise, he would have been eliminated.
"Ke Luo, let's forget about this." A brawny Star Lord flew over from the distance and heaved a sigh.
"Leader, well …" The young man couldn't help but look at the leader in confusion, but he was more angry than anything else. He felt that he had been tricked.
"One of the spots has just been taken. We can only blame our bad luck," said the leader solemnly. The clan leader said in a deep voice. Ever since the most outstanding genius in the clan had been eliminated, he was also angry. However, he was the clan leader after all. He did not have the guts to behave atrociously in the Amir Royal Family Academy.
He had to hold back his anger even though he was furious.
After all, he was an Ascendant State expert.
"Someone just took his spot?"
The other nine students were also surprised to hear that. Who could be so arrogant as to ask for a spot from the Dean? All of them had Star Lords backing them up.
"Who was it?" Ke Luo held back his anger and looked around. He soon saw Xingyue, Shen 'er, and the others standing next to Dean Ellen. He immediately locked his eyes on Su Ping.
There was no other reason than that Su Ping's cultivation was too eye-catching. A Fate State warrior was standing next to a bunch of Star Lords.
"It's him?"
Ke Luo gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger.
That spot wasn't that good for him. As the teacher had said, he still had a way out; he could stand out in the preliminary round.
But … he just didn't like the feeling of failure!
Ever since he was young, he had always had whatever he wanted. No one had ever been able to snatch food from his bowl!
"Stop it!"
The brawny family head frowned. He could understand Ke Luo's feelings, but since that young man had been able to ask Xingyue and Shen 'er for a spot from Dean Ellen, he must have a powerful background. There was no need to offend him.
"I want to challenge you!"
Ke Luo couldn't stand it anymore. He leaped into the air. The family head next to him was startled. He quickly stopped Ke Luo and shouted, "Stop it!"
"I've already been selected. Why should I give the spot to him? It's not that easy for him to take something that belongs to our family. I won't accept this!" Ke Luo said to the family head, clenching his teeth.
The brawny family head's face was dark. That young man was talented, but his EQ was really low!
That young man was able to get the spot. His strength aside, his background alone was not something we could afford to offend!
Indeed, the family had been protecting him so well that he had no idea about the ways of the world and the immensity of Heaven and Earth!
He secretly decided that he would teach him a lesson when he got back and focus on improving his knowledge. Most geniuses were killed by their own arrogance!
Hearing Ke Luo's words, the others turned to look at Su Ping, who was standing next to Ai Lan.
Su Ping was the only Fate State warrior standing next to Ai Lan. The others were all Star State bigshots or Star Lord level teachers.
"Huh?"
The other nine candidates were also sizing him up. Some of them simply glanced at him indifferently, as if they weren't interested.
"He's going to challenge Boss Su?"
Below the stage, Mia was shocked to see what had happened so suddenly.
How did he get involved with Boss Su?
Did Boss Su get the spot?
Offit, who was standing next to her, was also confused. She was rather disheveled after the previous battle, but she had already changed into a black and gold battle suit, which accentuated her curves and made her look as graceful as an elf.
"Pu!"
Xingyue Shen 'er, who was standing next to Su Ping, couldn't help but laugh.
The other teachers couldn't help but look at her. They were well aware that the young man had indeed taken the spot. However, she was the one who brought the young man here. How could she still be in the mood to laugh when he's being challenged?
Although Ke Luo was ranked tenth, he wasn't much weaker than the few people ahead of him. Of course, that was apart from the few monsters.
"He's indeed too young!"
"He wants to challenge Brother Heaven Destroyer? I don't think he's heard of you."
"I think Brother Heaven Destroyer's name is enough to make him weak in the knees."
"Do you want to make a bet?"
"What are we betting on?"
"Will Brother Heaven Destroyer finish the battle in three seconds or ten seconds?"
"That's … too insulting. I'll bet three seconds!"
"I'll bet three seconds as well!"
"Brother Heaven Destroyer is so low-key. I don't think I'll go all out. I think ten seconds is better."
"Are you looking down on Brother Heaven Destroyer? I can't believe he won't even use one second. I'll call Brother Heaven Destroyer the One Second Man!"
"…"
Inside Xingyue Shen 'er's small world, the people in Xinghai were having a heated discussion.
Su Ping was outside of the small world and couldn't hear their conversation, but he could see that Xingyue Shen 'er was laughing even more exaggeratedly. She was swaying back and forth, almost out of breath.
Is it really that funny?
Su Ping was speechless.
"Do you dare to accept the challenge? Bet that spot!" In the distance, Ke Luo had already issued the challenge. Seeing that Su Ping didn't respond, he became even angrier, as if he had been looked down upon.
"…"
Su Ping felt he had been bitten. You haven't even figured it out. How can you be so sure that I took the spot? Fine, your intuition is right. It's me …
"There's no need to challenge me, is there?" Su Ping said helplessly.
Everyone was stunned by Su Ping's words, including the students outside the arena. They didn't expect that Su Ping would accept a challenge in front of so many people. How could he … back down so blatantly?
The top instructors cast sidelong glances at Su Ping. How could the Xingyue Shen 'er be so timid?
With the Xingyue Shen 'er's personality, she would find someone to fight even if they looked at her for an extra second, not to mention challenging her to a duel!
Back in the academy, everyone knew that she was a little devil who fought against heaven and earth. She fought from the south to the north of the academy and suppressed all the geniuses. No one dared to challenge her!
However, this unknown young man's personality was completely different from the Xingyue Shen 'er's. Why did he back down?
"Are you afraid?" Ke Luo couldn't help but sneer. "That's all you've got? What's the point of getting a spot? Showing your face in the preliminaries? You might as well give it to me instead of humiliating yourself. "
The burly family head didn't stop him, nor did he expect that Su Ping would back down. He heaved a sigh inwardly after seeing Ke Luo's arrogance. He was going to go back and educate Ke Luo. Since he had already said what he wanted to say, there was no point in saying anything else. It would be best if he could get a spot while he was at it.
"Afraid?"
Before Su Ping could say anything, the Xingyue Shen 'er, who had been laughing a moment ago, suddenly pulled a long face and sneered. "What's there to be afraid of? You don't deserve to accept your challenge!"
"Who is this guy?"
"She … She seems to be the Xingyue Shen 'er!"
"The Xingyue Shen who set a record on the Royal Ranking decades ago? It can't be, right? Wait, I just checked. It really seems to be her! "
"She's back, and there's a small world next to her. Is she a Star Lord?"
"Seriously? How long has it been since she graduated? I'm told that she reached the Star State right after graduation. Has she become a Star Lord in just a few decades?!"
"How arrogant. She said that she didn't deserve to accept the challenge. This Ke Luo is already a very strong genius of the same level. His combat ability is comparable to that of some of the big shots in the early phase of the Star State."
"I've long heard that the little devil on the Royal Ranking is very arrogant. It seems that the rumors are true."
The surrounding students were all shocked by Xing Yue Shen 'er's cultivation. A student who had graduated from their side decades ago had actually become a Star Lord. This was like a student who walked out of an ordinary university and became a billionaire in society a few years later. It was simply a fantasy!
"You!"
Ke Luo's expression changed when he heard the exclamations. The projection of the small world next to Xingyue Shener clearly showed that she was a Star Lord. He was shocked; he wouldn't have dared to piss off such a monster no matter how reckless he was. Even their chief would have to lower his head in front of her!
They were both Star Lords, but she was a peerless genius!
"What's the point of hiding behind a woman?" Ke Luo gritted his teeth, not daring to talk back to Xingyue Shener. He could only vent his anger on Su Ping.
Su Ping was at a loss for words. He felt that Ke Luo was a cultivation idiot who would only be convinced if he won or lost. Little did he know that there were many things in this world that didn't necessarily have to be won or lost. Strength wasn't the only thing that mattered. Even if you were stronger than your opponent, you would still have to bow down to them if they had a more powerful background.
"Then bring it on." Su Ping didn't say anything else.
As he spoke, he took a step forward and appeared in front of Ke Luo with a whoosh.
Ke Luo was caught off guard by the sudden teleportation. The brawny chief next to him was also slightly surprised; he obviously didn't expect Su Ping to be so arrogant as to teleport to fight in close combat.
"Good timing!" Ke Luo was enraged. He unleashed his astral powers but just as he was about to summon his battle pets, Su Ping appeared in front of him again like a phantom.
This time, it wasn't teleportation. Ke Luo had sealed off the space around him. Su Ping could tear the space apart but he didn't want to waste his energy.
Whoosh!
Su Ping raised his hand and grabbed Ke Luo's mouth. Then, he dove down.
With a bang, the entire stage trembled and the ground cracked. However, the next second, a strong burst of astral powers and a roar came out from the ground. Ke Luo dashed out from the dust and looked around. Soon, he found Su Ping, who was standing quietly in the air. Ke Luo's eyes turned red.
"Huh?" Su Ping frowned. I've been merciful. Hasn't Ke Luo realized the difference?
Of the nine people on the stage, three had changed their expressions. They frowned and stared at Su Ping.
The other six were stunned. They didn't expect that Su Ping would be able to defeat Ke Luo so easily. He didn't even have to use his battle pets!
"Merge!"
Ke Luo merged again and summoned a dragon. Seeing that Su Ping didn't have any battle pets with him, Ke Luo was enraged. He didn't summon his other battle pets; he just roared and charged at Su Ping.
Su Ping raised his hand. A dazzling golden light burst out from his fingers.
That golden light was like a sun, radiating scorching energy. Su Ping clenched his fist, as if he were holding the entire sun in his hand. The light contracted and a strange feeling that made people's hearts twitch.
Phew!
Su Ping swung his fist. The golden fist swept over from the deep void and pushed forward as Su Ping waved his fist.
Ke Luo felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He came back to his senses with a start. His hair stood on end. His eyes were filled with the dazzling fist. Only one word came to his mind: invincible! Invincible!
Ke Luo had forgotten about his anger. He stood where he was and raised his hand out of instinct to defend himself.
The fist brushed past Ke Luo's shoulder and penetrated the void behind him. There was no sound, but there seemed to be a tremor in the void. The tremor was transmitted through the layers of space. Even the first layer of the main world could feel it!
"What?!"
The golden mentors next to Dean Ai Lan changed their expressions at the same time. A power that could affect the shallow space from the deep void? How violent!
Half of the academy would have been smashed into ruins if it had landed in the first layer!
"That punch seemed to contain the aura of ten laws …"
The Star Lords who had come to ask for a spot were all shocked. A Fate State warrior had mastered ten laws? He was so confident that he had cultivated multiple laws?
If he could fully master all ten laws, there was a chance that he could become a Star Lord as long as he found an opportunity!
What kind of monster is he?
The punch was soundless, but it silenced the entire place.
The students outside the arena weren't regular battle pet warriors; they had keen eyes. Although they couldn't tell how much power of laws Su Ping's punch contained, they could tell how horrifying it was!
The punch seemed to be able to suppress and obliterate everything; it was impossible for them to resist, as if they were ants.
"Boss Su …?"
Outside the arena, Mia was already dumbfounded. Her mouth was wide open.
Is he really the Boss Su she knew?
She suddenly remembered that Su Ping had defeated three Star State warriors of Rhea outside the shop. She was dumbfounded.
Su Ping asked for a spot, but he was able to defeat a Star State warrior … Didn't that mean that he hadn't been hiding his strength?
However, Mia seemed to remember that Su Ping was only at the Void State when he defeated the Star State warriors …
Thinking of this, Mia felt goosebumps all over her body, and her scalp went numb. She turned to look at Offit beside her. This genius used to be the most eye-catching figure in her family, and she was also a terrifying genius. However, compared to Mr. Su … she seemed to be just an ordinary person?
