C96 The Dust Settled
Lu Yuan's strength was too strong, in front of Lu Yuan, these Su Family warriors did not even have the courage to fight.
It was true that Lu Yuan was the Mountain Lord of the academy and it was unlikely for him to kill someone. However, with his unfathomable strength and aura that made people unable to directly face him, he was not someone they could provoke.
However, before they left the arena, Su Jingshen glared at Chen Yu with venomous eyes.
After this, Chen Yu successfully stirred the hatred of the people of Su Family's older generation. In the future, he will not only be facing Su Family's younger generation, but also the experts of Su Family's older generation who will retaliate!
The other Su Family Warriors also got down from the stage.
Suddenly, the dust settled. Lu Yuan looked at Hong Lei and raised his hand.
"The ranking battle of the Phoenix Drunken Wine continues!" Hong Lei respectfully nodded at Lu Yuan and announced in a loud voice, "Now that Chen Yu has defeated Su Lieh, who was ranked first in the last year's Phoenix-Rankings, Chen Yu will become this year's champion of the Phoenix-Rankings. If the students of the academy have any objections, they can go up on stage to challenge him again!"
After waiting for a while, no one went up on stage again. Hong Lei then said, "Since that's the case, this year's first rank of the young Phoenix Ranking will be given to Chen Yu. The second to tenth ranks can continue to compete for it!"
A wave of discussion came from below the stage, but overall, there wasn't much of a commotion. No one had any objections to this result, and no one had any more thoughts of challenging Chen Yu.
What a joke, even an absolute genius like Su Lieh was defeated, who would dare to come and make things difficult for him?
Furthermore, in the eyes of most of the students, Chen Yu was a ruthless character. Even Su Lieh, a heaven chosen of Su Family, dared to cripple him.
"Chen Yu, you're too ruthless!" Standing beside Chen Yu, Lu Yuan said: "You were already in trouble, and now that you've broken Su Lieh's meridians, causing Su Lieh to become a genius and become a cripple, you're already on the Su Family's killing list!"
Chen Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Elder Lu!"
"No need to thank me, this is the rules of the Phoenix Dress Ranking Tournament!" Lu Yuan continued: "If you were to be killed on the spot by an expert of Su Family after a fair duel, where would the face of the Martial Arts Palace be? Where was the need for the Martial Arts Palace to exist? You only crippled Su Lieh because you saw this, didn't you? "
Of course Chen Yu knew this.
To cripple Su Lieh, this was Chen Yu's retaliation towards Su Family.
Su Lieh was the first to take the initiative and use [Storing Power] to kill him in one hit. Of course, Chen Yu had no reason to show mercy.
Getting beaten up passively was not Chen Yu's style!
"Let's go!" In a corner below the stage, Su Qinghuan retracted his gaze and said a few words to his follower before turning around and walking away.
"Fifth Uncle!" Su Tang shouted.
"You stay, go and greet Chen Yu!" Su Qinghuan paused for a moment and said, "However, be careful to keep your distance. This brat crippled Su Lieh's cultivation and has already been listed on the killing list of Su Lieh's branch. We can't get involved with him too much, even if we can help him with some small matters, we can't help him with the big ones. Also, tell him that he doesn't have to fulfill any more of the promises he made previously, and I will still do my best to protect our Chen Family! "
"Alright!" Su Tang said with a helpless expression.
In another corner below the stage, a young man of twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old looked at the Phoenix Battlestage, his eyes revealing a dark ruthlessness. He said with a deep voice, "We must kill this child, otherwise we will never have a peaceful day!"
"What senior said is reasonable, but …" A woman in her mid-twenties frowned and said, "This Chen Yu is leaning on Lu Yuan now, so things have become a little troublesome!"
"If I had known earlier, I would have killed him a few days ago!" The man said coldly, "If both of us attack at the same time, there is no way he can turn the tables!"
"Who would have thought that Su Lieh would be defeated by this person?" The woman's face revealed a trace of helplessness. She turned around and said, "First let me report this to Master. I'll let Master decide."
Jun Che strode towards the Phoenix Arena, his coquettish face showing a trace of excitement that could not be hidden.
Jun Mingdao, who was standing on the spot, revealed a look of helplessness.
"It is said that seven days ago, Jun Che went on a tour around Minglan with Chen Yu. Jun Che has good eyes!" Wu Wei said in a low voice while standing beside Jun Mingdao.
"It's not necessarily a good thing to be too accurate!" Jun Mingdao said in a low voice.
In the other corner, Su Guan, who was holding a slim girl, laughed and turned to leave. An old man in his fifties with a deep aura silently appeared and came to Su Guan's side.
Seeing this unremarkable old man, Su Guan was slightly shocked. He said to the woman beside him, "You can go first, I'll come find you later!"
The woman looked at the old man, but tactfully she didn't ask.
The old man whispered a few sentences into Su Guan's ear. Su Guan was surprised, he raised his head and looked at Lu Yuan and Chen Yu on the Phoenix Arena, sighing, "The older you are, the more experienced you are. You actually have such a sense of propriety. Go back and tell the old gramps, I will treasure this opportunity! "
The old man nodded, bowed, and left.
Su Guan was no longer in a hurry to leave. He walked towards the first arena.
On the other nine Phoenix Arena, other students successively jumped onto the stage to compete for the right to challenge.
However, compared to the previous matches by Chen Yu, the battle for the Proclamation of Phoenix that was resumed now seemed to have lost all its appeal. It was clearly dull and boring. One could tell something from the audience that they were leaving.
"Chen Yu, why don't you stay in the Martial Arts Palace?" Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said, "Although the College Street isn't far from here, it's still not safe for you!"
Chen Yu was slightly shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect Lu Yuan to consider it so thoroughly. However, he still shook his head and said, "Thank you, Elder Lu, for your kind intentions, but it's better not to. I'm not used to living under the protection of others!"
Living in the Martial Arts Palace was equivalent to being protected by Lu Yuan at all times. This could save him a lot of trouble, but it also put Lu Yuan on fire, making the Palace Master, who had an extraordinary status in the Minglan City s, the antithesis of all Su Family s!
Out of respect for Lu Yuan, Chen Yu didn't want Lu Yuan to get himself into trouble!
Also, Chen Yu thought that in the future, he would still need to rely on Lu Yuan to protect his Chen Family. If he allowed Lu Yuan to become enemies with Su Family now, then Su Family might not be enough to give Lu Yuan enough face to let go of Chen Family!
Lu Yuan was indeed strong, but there were also a lot of experts whose Su Family were comparable to Lu Yuan's.
"You are truly arrogant to the extreme!" Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then if you have any trouble, remember to come to the Martial Arts Palace as soon as possible!"
"Elder Lu, don't worry. I'm very scared of dying!" Chen Yu bowed and said with a smile.
"Alright, your friend is here. I'll go and study the Kunlun Sword Art!" Lu Yuan smiled and said.
"Take care!"
Lu Yuan left in big strides. Hong Lei walked over and said, "Brat, I did so much to protect you. How can you repay me?"
Chen Yu was slightly shocked by Hong Lei's words. Looking at the indifferent expression on Hong Lei's face, he didn't understand what Hong Lei meant.
"Bring me a few jars of good wine later!" Hong Lei looked at Chen Yu's puzzled expression and snorted. He said coldly, "Don't tell me you are reluctant to part with it?"
"How could that be?" Chen Yu was extremely surprised. He did not expect Hong Lei to only come to ask for a drink, so he smiled and said, "Enough!"
"That's more like it!" With a cold expression on his face, Hong Lei's figure flashed and he began to patrol around the other arena.
As soon as Hong Lei left, another person walked over. It was Yim Zirann.
"Chen Yu, it's said that a few days ago, you sold a medicinal formula at Jun Family. Is that true?" Yim Zirann didn't beat around the bush and directly said.
Chen Yu wasn't surprised this time. After a slight smile, he said: "It's like this!"
"If you still have the pill formulas, you can cooperate with our Yan Clan's Myriad Treasures Pavilion. The conditions you give won't be any worse than Jun Family!" Yim Zirann said.
"Sure!" Chen Yu grinned and said.
"Then, the Yan Clan's Myriad Treasures Pavilion will be waiting for you!" Yim Zirann nodded and said with a smile.
Chen Yu nodded. Naturally, he would not reject the offer to cooperate. He knew that Yim Zifong was a member of the Yan Clan, and he was even the cousin of the Yan Clan's number one genius, Yim Zifong. He was once the number one genius of the Yan Clan, but unfortunately, he was still unable to pass the Ruling Spirit Sect.
Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he recalled Yim Zirann's completely different attitude towards him at the beginning.
No matter where one was, power was always the foundation of one's identity and status.
It was precisely because Chen Yu had defeated Su Lieh that Yim Zirann showed such goodwill.
After Yim Zirann left, Chen Yu looked down the stage and saw Jun Che waving at him.
Just as he was about to go over, a figure jumped onto the stage.
"Brother Chen, congratulations, in today's battle, Brother Chen can be the number one person in Minglan City young generation!" It was Su Guan. He had an unruly smile on his face as he cupped his hands and congratulated Chen Yu.
"I dare not claim to be number one. The four great geniuses are still here!" Chen Yu laughed, "Besides, is there someone as troublesome as me? Brother Su, please don't make fun of me! "
"Ha ha!" Su Guan laughed loudly and said, "Brother Chen seems to be very clear about his situation, so I don't need to say more. Take care, Brother Chen." "Hmm, that's right, maybe we'll meet more often in the future!"
"Hmm?" Chen Yu was surprised.
"Brother Chen will know in a while!" Su Guan smiled, turned around and glanced at Jun Che, revealing a mischievous expression, "Let's not disturb Brother Chen and the beautiful girl's celebration, see you later!"
Although he didn't know what Su Guan was up to, Chen Yu didn't ask further. He nodded and walked towards Jun Che.
He jumped down from the stage and came before Jun Che. Jun Che's face darkened as he said: "What did the guy surnamed Su say to you?"
"Nothing, just congratulations on defeating Su Lieh!" Chen Yu smiled and said.
"What's the point of talking to this guy?" Only then did Jun Che's face lighten up a bit as he said in annoyance: "This kind of slut will only ruin your reputation!"
"Do I have a good reputation?" Chen Yu did not expect Jun Che to hate Su Guan so much. He smiled and changed the topic, "Where's your brother?"
"Over there!"
