Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

1On a tower in the Martial Arts Palace, Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the plaza.    0

    

This tower was the tallest building in the entire Palace of Martial Arts. Standing here, one could take in all the sights of the square.    

    

The moment Chen Yu defeated Su Heng, Lu Yuan suddenly turned around.    

    

At the top of the stairs, an old man slowly walked up. He was slightly built and had a head full of white hair, exuding an aura of vicissitudes of life.    

    

The old man did not reveal the slightest bit of his aura, just like an ordinary old man in his twilight years.    

    

Seeing the newcomer, Lu Yuan was not surprised at all. He glanced at the Spirit Hidden Peak behind the academy and said, "You're actually having a good time walking around today?"    

    

"My son Mountain Master's voice is quite loud. I, this old man, have also heard of it. I came to take a look and see what a young genius you, Mountain Master of the academy, think of!" The old man was alone as he walked to Lu Yuan's side and stood with his hands behind his back.    

    

Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "I guess I won't let you down!"    

    

"I also hope that you won't disappoint me!" The old man smiled and said.    

    

Chen Yu looked at the person who went up on stage. He was a twenty-three or twenty-four year old man with a long blade on his back and a stern face.    

    

"I'm Su Zhao!" The man looked at Chen Yu with an indifferent expression and said, "On the orders of Young Noble Su Lieh, I am here to seek your advice!"    

    

Chen Yu said, "Got it!"    

    

"Please!" After pulling out the long saber with a flip of his hand, Su Zhao held it with both of his hands. The blade's body was extremely long, and its blade was narrow and curved like a crescent moon. It seemed extremely sharp.    

    

Chen Yu's eyes narrowed. He felt a trace of a dangerous aura from Su Zhao's body.    

    

In fact, Chen Yu had really never heard of the name Su Zhao before. Su Tang and Jun Che had introduced the young martial artists at the second level of Heavenly Astral Stage to Chen Yu, but they never mentioned this Su Zhao. From this, it could be determined that Su Zhao was extremely low profile, and it was possible that he had just broken through to the second level of the Heavenly Astral Stage not long ago!    

    

"Please!" Chen Yu said as he raised the long saber in his hand.    

    

Su Zhe's face was expressionless, and an intensely burning desire for battle flashed within his eyes. After twisting his body for a moment, he coiled himself up and pounced forward. His speed actually became extremely swift in an instant, like the speed of the wind.    

    

Chen Yu didn't even have the chance to move when Su Zhao raised his hands and a long and narrow saber light flashed through the sky, bringing along a sharp saber light as it slashed at Chen Yu.    

    

This was an expert who excelled in movement techniques and speed. Chen Yu accurately judged the moment Su Zhao attacked, then took a step forward and slashed out with the Wave Slasher.    

    

"Ding!" The blade's edge collided with Chen Yu's blade and the blade's light shattered. Chen Yu's strength exploded out, causing Su Zhao's blade to suddenly spin and swing away from Chen Yu's blade. Su Zhao's body twisted strangely and flew up by borrowing the force of the blade's impact to dodge towards the other side of Chen Yu.    

    

Even though they were hostile, Chen Yu had no choice but to admit that Su Zhao's strength was indeed extraordinary. Just this ability to dissolve his own strength was several times stronger than Su Heng, Su Hu, in front of him.    

    

This person, was not someone that an ordinary blade technique could defeat!    

    

Chen Yu slashed out with the back of his hand and his figure suddenly slid out like the wind, then he turned around to block Su Zhao's second slash. The Vast Expanse Saber Qi was able to block Su Zhao's saber light.    

    

The battle intent in Su Zhao's eyes, who had seized the initiative, became even stronger, but he didn't directly chop out, and instead lightly floated up like a feather before once again flashing obliquely with a saber, swiftly bringing about a saber light that flashed towards Chen Yu's neck.    

    

Su Zhao didn't even wait for Chen Yu to use his blade to block before abruptly withdrawing his blade. At the same time, he swung his blade behind Chen Yu with the fastest speed possible.    

    

Another saber light appeared.    

    

In the next moment, Su Zhao's figure moved again. At this moment, his speed was already swift like a ghost, and he only left behind an afterimage in the sky as saber lights slashed out one after the other.    

    

A hint of admiration appeared in Chen Yu's eyes.    

    

Below the stage, many disciples of Su Family revealed expressions of shock.    

    

"Su Zhao's strength is actually so formidable!"    

    

"Su Zhao is a branch disciple right? Normally, he doesn't have any feeling of existence at all, but I never imagined that he'd already silently broken through the second level of Heavenly Dipper!"    

    

"Su Family, there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"    

    

Outside the plaza, the white-clothed and elegant Su Qinghuan suddenly turned to look at an old man beside him and said, "This Su Zhao has great potential. After this battle, go look for him and tell him that I'll get him a placing for the city battle and provide him with all the resources he needs for cultivation!"    

    

"This old servant obeys!" The old man was precisely the one who had followed Su Qinghuan to the Divine Meteorite Mountain Range. After he replied respectfully, he said, "But, since this Su Zhao is a person of Su Lieh, I'm afraid he might not accept Fifth Master's good intentions!"    

    

"He will!" Su Qinghuan said confidently: "He only has one chance left to join the City Battle Trial, he will not miss it."    

    

On the stage, Chen Yu, who was about to be annihilated by the endless blade lights, suddenly had a huge amount of cyan colored Qi revolve around his body, forming a whirlpool.    

    

The blade light had penetrated into the whirlpool, and was instantly obliterated by the rotating Zhen Qi whirlpool.    

    

The true qi vortex brought about a biting gale as it blew until the corners of his clothes fluttered. Chen Yu had a composed expression as his gaze searched for Su Zhao's location.    

    

Too fast, Su Zhao's figure was already fast to the point that he couldn't see clearly, and only a strand of black mist was left behind. His figure seemed to have vanished into thin air, yet it seemed to be omnipresent.    

    

When Chen Yu executed the Qi Manipulation Technique, Wind Scroll, Su Zhao obviously knew that ordinary saber lights were insufficient to break through Chen Yu's defense, so he relied on his special technique to conceal his figure and awaited the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.    

    

Chen Yu remembered that he had seen this movement skill before when the Divine Meteorite Mountain Range escaped from death and returned to the Chen Family. At that time, the one who used this strange technique was that old man called Fang Zhongming. Unexpectedly, he experienced it on Su Zhao today!    

    

Compared to Fang Zhongming, Su Zhao's comprehension of this type of strange technique was much stronger.    

    

At the edge of the arena, a trace of surprise flashed across Hong Lei's indifferent face.    

    

"It's the Secret Fog Technique, this movement technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. I never imagined that Su Zhao had actually mastered it!"    

    

"It's too fast, I can't see Su Zhao's figure at all!"    

    

Many young students that thought they were extraordinary couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the strength of Su Zhao's strength.    

    

Right at that moment, Chen Yu's gaze turned serious. He suddenly turned his body to the side and the Zhen Qi swirl that was revolving around him suddenly exploded, turning into a biting cold gust of wind.    

    

After the saber light passed, it was Su Zhao's face that carried a trace of astonishment.    

    

"Nice movement technique, but it's still not enough to hide from my senses!" Chen Yu said indifferently. Then, his Wave Slasher Saber cut the saber light into pieces and went straight in.    

    

Su Zhao, who was already unable to conceal himself, twisted his body once before flying back as if he didn't have the slightest bit of weight. He actually escaped Chen Yu's violent slash.    

    

However, Chen Yu's battle experience was rich and his grasp of timing far exceeded Su Zhao's understanding. As his body flashed, Chen Yu's second blade cut out. He combined his blade with his body and was extremely domineering and sharp.    

    

The force of Su Zhao's blade rose once again, and sword lights poured out like a waterfall to obstruct him.    

    

However, the Wave Slaying Sabre tore apart the vast sword light in an instant, and the saber energy condensed into a snow-white saber qi that instantly rose a dozen feet or so in length to flash past Su Zhao.    

    

A bloody light suddenly flashed, and Su Zhao's floating figure fell onto the ground like a kite with its string cut, then he staggered backwards.    

    

Chen Yu suddenly stopped and didn't have any intention of chasing.    

    

Fresh blood dripped onto the arena as a saber scar was clearly visible.    

    

"The victor has been decided!" Hong Lei's facial muscles twitched slightly. His eyes were filled with shock and admiration.    

    

The lingering fear in Su Zhao's eyes faded bit by bit, then he suddenly bowed towards Chen Yu and said, "Thank you for showing mercy!"    

    

Chen Yu said lightly, "With your talent and talent, you're willing to be a dog. Isn't that just letting yourself fall?"    

    

Su Zhao revealed a complicated expression when he heard this, but he didn't refute and said, "I've been taught!"    

    

After he finished speaking, Su Zhao leaped off the platform. There was a doctor coming to treat his wounds!    

    

Numerous gazes were gathered on the calm and composed Chen Yu, accompanied by a continuous stream of discussions. Among these gazes, there were those of shock, hostility, envy, and hatred.    

    

"As expected of someone I've taken a fancy to!" Su Qinghuan retracted his gaze from the Phoenix Battlestage and a trace of appreciation flashed across his face. "If it wasn't for Su Yulian's interference, I wouldn't have given up on such a young genius!"    

    

"Fifth Uncle, I feel that since we're allied with him, we might as well support him to the end!" Su Tang turned her head to look at Su Qinghuan, who was still calm and collected, and gathered up her courage to persuade him.    

    

Su Qinghuan smiled coolly and said, "Then let's talk about it after he has passed Su Yulian's trial!"    

    

At the same time, on the tower.    

    

The hunchbacked old man retracted his gaze and looked at the stone table in the middle of the tower. There were two boxes of chess pieces on the table and he said, "This is rather boring. Lu Wei, why don't we have a chat?"    

    

"Great Elder has such a gracious intention. I, Lu, will naturally accompany you!" Lu Yuan was slightly shocked and said, "Please!"    

    

The two of them sat on the stone table in the middle of the tower. Lu Yuan said, "Great Elder, please!"    

    

"Pa!" A thin finger picked up a chess piece and lightly patted it onto the nineteen pieces of Go Go board carved on the stone table.    

    

After Su Zhao walked off the stage, Chen Yu swept his gaze around the audience, and after a long time, no one else came up.    

    

A trace of ridicule appeared on the corner of Chen Yu's mouth. Suddenly, he raised his voice and said, "Su Lieh, when are you going to fight?"    

    

Below the stage, the students of the academy looked around at each other, looking for Su Lieh.    

    

"Do you not dare?" Chen Yu continued to speak: "I originally thought that the second ranked genius in Su Family was something worth looking forward to, but I didn't expect him to be a cowardly mouse. You've sent people to probe me again and again, yet you're still not confident in defeating me?"    

    

A commotion gradually broke out in the audience. A lot of people didn't understand Su Lieh's intention at first, but now that it was broken by Chen Yu, they began to understand the meaning behind Su Lieh's words.    

    

"Is this true?" Su Lieh actually used this to test Chen Yu. Was it because he wasn't confident in defeating Chen Yu? "    

    

"That's impossible, Su Lieh is the second most talented in Su Family, how can he not be a match for this country bumpkin surnamed Chen?"    

    

"Young Master Su Lieh really should be appearing on stage!"    

    

As the entire plaza began to shake, a straight line of fiery red qi surged forth. A violent and domineering aura spread out, and a tall and sturdy man dressed in black walked over with a huge sword on his back. With every step he took, his aura became stronger.    

    

"Su Lieh!"    

    

"It's Su Lieh gongzi!"    

    

The crowd opened up a path for them, and many of the young students who were close to them began having difficulty breathing under the powerful aura.
