"Sorry, there are only nine spots left. You've been eliminated. However, it won't be a problem for you to make it to the preliminaries, considering your talent. Keep it up!"
The teacher immediately comforted him.
The young man was stunned. He couldn't help but ask, "Weren't there ten spots? I fought hard and my pet was injured, and you're telling me that there's no spot for me?"
The other nine were also confused. One of the ten spots was gone for no apparent reason?
The one who was ranked ninth, who was fifth on the Imperial Ranking List, looked at him sympathetically. He felt lucky that he was ranked ninth, otherwise, he would have been kicked out.
A brawny Star Lord flew close and sighed, "Koro, let's just forget about it."
"Chief, well …" The young man looked at the chief in confusion, but more than that, he was infuriated. He felt that he had been tricked.
"One of the spots has just been taken. We can only blame ourselves for being unlucky," said the chief solemnly. Ever since the most outstanding prodigy of his clan had been eliminated, he was also upset and furious. However, he was still the head of a clan, and he didn't have the guts to behave atrociously in the Amir Royal Academy.
He could only hold back his fury.
After all, the guy was an Ascendant State expert.
"Someone just took it?"
The other nine were also surprised to hear that. Who could've been bold enough to get a spot from the president? All of them had Star Lords backing them.
"Who was it?" Koro suppressed his fury and looked around. He soon saw Xingyue Shen 'er and the others next to Alan. He then fixed his eyes on Su Ping.
The reason was simple: Su Ping was too eye-catching; he was only in the Fate State, yet he was standing next to a bunch of Star State experts and Star Lords.
"It's him?"
Koro gritted his teeth with fury in his eyes.
This spot didn't bring him much benefit. Just like what the teacher had said, he still had a way out. He could stand out in the qualifiers.
However … he didn't like the feeling of failure!
Ever since he was young, he had everything he wanted. No one had ever been able to snatch food from his bowl!
"Don't mess around!"
The leader frowned. He could understand Koro's feelings, but the young man definitely had a strong background, considering that he had asked Xingyue Shen 'er for a slot from Alan. There was no need to piss him off.
"I challenge you!"
Ke Luo couldn't bear it and directly flew into the air. The patriarch's expression changed slightly and quickly suppressed him, coldly shouting, "Don't make trouble!"
"I've already been selected. Why should I give him the spot that belongs to me? It's not that simple to take something that belongs to my family. I refuse to accept this!" Koro gritted his teeth and said to the patriarch who was suppressing him.
The burly patriarch's face darkened, and he felt a headache coming on. Although this little guy was talented, his EQ was really low!
For him to be able to obtain a spot, not to mention his strength, just his background alone is not someone we can afford to offend.
As expected, the clan had been grooming and protecting him too well, causing him to be ignorant of the ways of the world and the immensity of the world!
He secretly decided in his heart that when he returned, he would educate him well and focus on developing his knowledge. Most geniuses were killed by their own arrogance!
Hearing Koro's words, everybody turned their attention to Su Ping who was standing next to Alan.
Su Ping was the only one next to Alan who was in the Fate State; the others were all Star State bigshots or Star Lord teachers.
"Huh?"
The other nine people who had obtained a spot were also observing. Some of them simply glanced at him, as if they weren't interested in him at all.
"He's going to challenge Boss Su?"
Down below the stage — Mia was shocked by the sudden development.
Why is it related to Boss Su?
Did Boss Su get the spot?
Offit, who was next to her, was also confused. She had just fought a hard battle and was in a sorry state, but she had already put on a black and gold battle suit that accentuated her curvaceous figure.
"Pfft!"
Xingyue Shen 'er, who was next to Su Ping, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The mentors nearby couldn't help but look at her. They all knew that it was the young man who had taken the spot. However, she was the one who brought him here. How could she still be in the mood to laugh when he's being challenged?
Although Koro was ranked tenth, he wasn't much weaker than the people before him. Of course, that was except for the monsters in the audience.
"He's truly too young!"
"He's challenging Brother Heaven Destroyer? I don't think he's heard of Brother Heaven Destroyer."
"I think Brother Heaven Destroyer's name will be enough to scare him."
"Should we make a bet?"
"What are we betting on?"
"Let's bet on whether Brother Heaven Destroyer will finish the battle in three seconds or ten."
"That's … too insulting. I'll bet on three seconds!"
"I'll bet three seconds too!"
"Brother Heaven Destroyer is keeping a low profile. I don't think I'll try my best. I think ten seconds is safer."
"Are you looking down on Brother Heaven Destroyer? You didn't even give him one second. I'm willing to call Brother Heaven Destroyer a one-second man!"
"…"
Inside Xingyue Shen 'er's small world — everybody from the Star Ocean Alliance was having a good time.
Su Ping was outside of the small world and couldn't hear their conversation, but he saw that Xingyue Shen 'er was laughing even harder, as if she couldn't catch her breath.
Is it really that funny?
Su Ping was lost for words.
"Do you dare to accept the challenge? Let's bet on the spot!" Far away, Koro had already issued the challenge. Seeing that Su Ping wasn't taking any action, he felt that he had been underestimated and was even more infuriated.
"…"
Su Ping felt that he had been bitten. Why are you so sure that I'm the one who took the spot when you haven't even figured it out? Fine, your intuition is quite accurate, and it's indeed me …
"Is it really necessary to issue a challenge?" 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 back down in such a blatant manner after receiving a challenge in front of so many people.
The mentors nearby all looked at Su Ping, wondering why he was so cowardly when Xingyue Shen 'er had brought him here.
Given Xingyue Shen 'er's personality, she would have fought anyone who looked at him more than once, not to mention a challenge!
Everybody in the academy knew that she was a fiend who had defeated all the geniuses from the south to the north. Nobody dared to challenge her!
However, this unknown young man was completely different from her, and yet he backed off just like that?
"Are you scared?" Koro was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but sneer and say, "What's the point of taking the spot if you're so weak? Do you want to show your face in the preliminaries? You might as well give it to me instead of humiliating yourself. "
The family master didn't stop him, nor did he expect that he would back down. He heaved a sigh after seeing Koro's arrogance; he planned to educate him later, but there was no point in saying anything else since he had already said it. It would be best if he could get the spot while he was at it.
"Scared?"
Before Su Ping could say anything, Xingyue Shen 'er, who had been laughing a moment ago, sneered and said, "What's there to be scared of? I didn't accept your challenge because you don't deserve it!"
"Who's she?"
"She — She seems to be Xingyue Shen 'er!"
"The Xingyue Shen 'er who set a record on the Royal Rank decades ago? No way. Wait, I just checked. It's really her! "
"She's back. She has a small world next to her. Is she a Star Lord now?"
"Seriously? How long has it been since she graduated? I heard that she reached the Star State as soon as she graduated. It's only been a few decades, but she's already become a Star Lord?"
"How arrogant. She didn't accept the challenge and said that he didn't deserve it. Koro is already a very strong genius in his level. He's as strong as some of the early Star State bigshots."
"I've always heard that the little devil on the Royal Rank is arrogant. It's true."
All the students were shocked by Xingyue Shen 'er's level. A student who had graduated decades ago had become a Star Lord. It was like a student from a regular university who became a billionaire after a few years. It was almost impossible!
"You!"
Koro's expression changed after hearing the exclamations. He was also shocked by the small world next to Xingyue Shen 'er, which suggested that she was a Star Lord. He wouldn't dare to piss off such a monster, no matter how reckless he was. Even their leader would have to lower his head in front of her!
She was also a Star Lord, but she was a genius!
"What's the point of hiding behind a woman?" Koro gritted his teeth, not daring to talk back to Xingyue Shen 'er. He could only vent his anger on Su Ping.
Su Ping was lost for words. He felt that Koro was an idiot who insisted on winning and losing. He didn't know that many things in the world didn't have to be decided by winning or losing. Besides, strength wasn't the only thing that mattered. Even if you were stronger than others, you would still have to kneel before them if they had a stronger background.
"Bring it on then." Su Ping didn't say anything else.
As he spoke, he stepped forward and appeared in front of Koro with a whoosh.
Koro didn't see that sudden teleportation coming. The leader of the family was also stunned; he didn't expect Su Ping to be so arrogant as to teleport over for a melee battle.
"Great timing!" Koro burst into fury and unleashed his astral power. However, right when he was about to summon his pet, Su Ping flashed from thirty meters away and appeared right in front of him like a phantom.
It wasn't a flash, because Koro had blocked the space around him. Su Ping was able to tear it apart, but he didn't want to waste his strength.
Whoosh!
Su Ping raised his hand and grabbed Koro's mouth as fast as a blur. Then, he dropped straight down.
After a boom, the entire arena trembled and the ground was broken. However, a powerful astral power burst out in the next moment. Koro dashed out of the dust and looked around in the sky. He soon noticed Su Ping, who was standing quietly in the sky, and his eyes became bloodshot.
"Huh?" Su Ping slightly frowned. He had already gone easy on Koro, yet he still didn't realize the gap between them?
Three of the nine people in the arena changed their expressions and gazed at Su Ping, frowning.
The other six were stunned. They didn't expect that Su Ping would be able to suppress Koro so easily. He didn't even need to use his battle pets!
"Merge!"
Koro merged again and summoned a dragon. He was infuriated when he saw that Su Ping didn't have a pet. He simply roared and charged at Su Ping without summoning any of his pets.
Su Ping raised his hand, and a dazzling golden light burst out of his fingers.
The golden light was like a sun, emitting the most scorching energy. As Su Ping clenched his fist, he seemed to be holding the entire sun in his hand. The light contracted, and a weird, heart-wrenching feeling spread out.
Phew!
Su Ping suddenly waved his fist, and the golden image of his fist swept out from the deep void. It was pushed forward as Su Ping waved it.
Koro, who was rushing forward, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He suddenly woke up and felt a chill run down his spine. His eyes were filled with dazzling fists, and only one word appeared in his mind: invincible! Invincible!
His fury had long been forgotten. He remained where he was, only able to raise his hand and defend himself out of instinct.
The fist brushed past Ke Luo's shoulder and penetrated into the Void of the arena behind him. There was no sound, but there seemed to be a tremor in the Void, which was transmitted through the layers of space. Even in the first layer of the main world, one could feel the subtle tremors of space!
"Well!"
The mentors next to Alan all changed their expressions. A power that could affect the shallow space from the deep void? How violent must it be?
Half of the academy would have been smashed into ruins if it had landed in the primary space!
"That punch seems to contain the aura of ten laws …"
The Star Lords who had come to ask for the slots were shocked. A Fate State warrior had grasped ten laws? He was also so confident that he had mastered multiple laws?
If he could master all ten laws, he might even have a chance to become a Star Lord if he found an opportunity!
What kind of monster is he?
The punch didn't make any sound, but it silenced the place.
None of the students outside of the arena were regular battle pet warriors; they had keen eyes. Even though they couldn't see 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 erase everything, making them feel like ants that couldn't resist at all.
"Boss Su …?"
Outside of the arena — Mia was already dumbfounded. Her mouth was wide open.
Is he really the Boss Su I know?
She suddenly remembered how Su Ping had defeated three Star State experts from Rhea outside the shop. She was instantly stunned.
Su Ping had asked for a slot, yet he had defeated a Star State expert … Didn't it mean that he hadn't been hiding his strength all along?
However, Mia seemed to remember that Su Ping was only in the Void State when he defeated the Star State experts …
At this thought, Miya felt goosebumps all over her body, and her scalp tingled. She turned her head to look at Offit beside her. This genius had once been the center of attention in their family and a terrifying genius. But compared to Mr. Su, she seemed to be just an ordinary person.
