Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Night Hunt_1

Su Chengyu knew that Lee Longqing was a formidable contender. Even among the younger generation in the eastern region, he was regarded as a standout. If Su Chengyu were to rely solely on his abilities, he would inevitably lose against Lee Longqing, as ranking ninth in the Martial Marquis Realm was no mere affirmation of his power. Moreover, Lee Longqing came from a profound martial lineage, granting him the ability to conquer opponents of a higher level.

However, this was the case only if Su Chengyu didn’t use the God Summoning Talisman or the Heaven-Mending Stone.

That being said, Su Chengyu had no intention of using these trump cards merely for the hollow recognition accompanying the championship of the Dragon Soul Meeting. The Heaven-Mending Stone, a force external to his abilities, was something he’d use in a life or death battle, not in a competition for it would violate the essence of martial arts.

Ultimately, Su Chengyu took pride in himself and would never resort to unscrupulous means just for the title of a champion.

Helping Jiangdong beat Danyang in the Dragon Soul Department by cheating was mostly because their contestants had been annoying. The other reason was to frustrate Liang Youdao severely.

If he intended to match Lee Longqing, he would need to swallow a Xuantong Pill, advancing to the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but he felt his Dao Foundation and Dao Heart weren’t harmonious and solid enough yet. He didn’t want to rush his breakthrough.

This guy, Lee Longqing, with his unwarranted provocations had genuinely angered Su Chengyu, who initially didn’t care about rankings. Moreover, He Lian Xuan surprisingly offered the South Sea Mermaid Pearl as the championship prize. This motivated Su Chengyu to commit himself to fight for the championship. Firstly, to shut Lee Longqing’s arrogant mouth, and secondly, because the South Sea Mermaid Pearl was crucial to him, he was determined to win it.

After He Lian Xuan finished speaking, everyone dispersed from the Martial Arts Field and returned to their respective accommodations.

"Brother Su Cheng, are you really not going to participate in the competition?" Qin Muge hastily asked.

Su Chengyu merely smiled without responding. Qiu Ji and Jian Zhihao also chimed in, "Mr. Su, with your abilities, you could at least secure the second place, even if you cannot win the championship. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase oneself before the Grand Minister and also an opportunity to gain fame."

Qin Siyuan said, "Enough, Mr. Su has his plans. You don’t need to worry about him. Everyone return and rest."

Everyone went back. Qin Siyuan knew that Su Chengyu was intelligent and had his ideas and plans and needed no extraneous advice.

Su Chengyu nodded at Qin Siyuan before heading back to his room. Sitting cross-legged, he took out the Xuantong Pill from his Cui Xia Ring and placed it in his palm.

"It seems I won’t be hunting tonight. To get the South Sea Mermaid Pearl, I need to advance to the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Having said this, Su Chengyu put the Xuantong Pill in his mouth and began practicing his spells, using the medicinal power of the Xuantong Pill to breakthrough.

In the Grand Minister’s residence, He Lian Xuan and Xue Yuqin were sipping tea in the courtyard. Xue Yuqin said, "Su Cheng knows not to push his limits. He did not cheat in the final round, helping Jiangdong to win first place."

He Lian Xuan took a sip of tea and said, "Like I said, he’s exceptionally intelligent and can assess situations very well. Defeating the Danyang Dragon Soul Department wasn’t entirely by cheating. Their strategy was brilliant, and they had completely seen through Liang Youdao’s strategy. To defeat Feng Yang would make the cheating too obvious. He won’t do that."

"This kid is indeed worth cultivating. I hope he and Lee Longqing can bring us a good ranking in next year’s Dragon Soul Meeting. However, it seems like he won’t be participating in tomorrow’s individual race. Is he really afraid of losing to Lee Longqing?" Xue Yuqin said.

"Young men are always a bit proud when they have just succeeded. He knows he is no match for Lee Longqing and naturally doesn’t want to lose in front of everyone. He would rather drop out directly and earn a good reputation for not caring about fame. With his abilities, he should be participating only to win, or else it would be meaningless."

He Lian Xuan, considering his analysis impeccable, said.

"By the way, I’ve heard reports that six Martial Marquis Realm Experts from the Black Dragon Commerce Association were killed last night in Nangang. It was probably Su Cheng’s doing," Xue Yuqin said.

"Apart from him, who else would target the Black Dragon Commerce Association like this? It’s about time someone moved against the Black Dragon Commerce Association. Black Dragon province is not an invincible force, there’s nothing they can’t bear," He Lian Xuan agreed.

"Su Cheng is indeed audacious. Knowing that Xiang Yuesheng is already livid, he still dares to go out and hunt down the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s experts," Xue Yuqin mentioned.

"This is his incredible courage and vision. After all, Xiang Yuesheng can’t do anything to him. He can use Sword Flight and disappear into thin air. As long as he returns to the department, he is entirely safe. Opportunities where he can take down an enemy from a completely safe spot don’t come easy. It’s not just bravery but also a charm. I guess that Xiang Yuesheng is already raving mad," He Lian Xuan said with clear laughter, while his words showed nothing but admiration and approval of Su Chengyu.

He Lian Xuan was right. Xiang Yuesheng was indeed raging, all his fury unvented. Last night, although Su Chengyu claimed to be in a meditative retreat, he had actually slipped out of the Dragon Soul Department and hunted down all the Martial Marquis Realm experts who had come with Xiang Yuesheng that day to the Dragon Soul Department.

The Black Dragon Commerce Association currently had eight Martial Marquis in Nangang, and Xiang Yuesheng had brought all of them that day. Su Chengyu, who was worried that he wouldn’t have all their details, was actually given a golden opportunity when Xiang Yuesheng led them to him. Su Chengyu immediately started to plan and left a magical mark on each of them.

Last night, Su Chengyu left the Dragon Soul Department and tracked down these individuals one by one using the magical marks, killing them one after another. The only regret was that two of the Martial Marquis had been sent away by Xiang Yuesheng to run an errand, leaving Nangang, thus only six were killed.

Tonight, Su Chengyu had planned to look for the two Martial Kings from the Black Dragon Commerce Association. Still, to break through to the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could not leave his department.

With all the Martial Marquis in Nangang killed, how could Xiang Yuesheng not be furious? Even though no evidence was left at the scene, anyone could infer that Su Chengyu was the culprit.

"Su Cheng! You dare pick a fight with my Black Dragon Commerce Association, thinking you can take it down single-handedly? We’ll see about that. I can’t believe that I won’t be able to deal with a little punk like you! I’ll tear you to pieces, leaving you no place to rest in death!"

Xiang Yuesheng violently destroyed all the items in the practice room in fury, filling the room with an oppressive aura that invoked fear. Xiang Yuesheng hadn’t lost his temper like this in several years. However, he had been boiling over with rage lately, indicating the amount of damage that Su Chengyu had caused to the Black Dragon Commerce Association.

At that time, the butler carefully walked in and said, "Chairman, someone is asking to see you."

"See whom, get lost!" Xiang Yuesheng raged.

The butler quietly said, "It’s Guo Yijian from Danyang. He disguised himself to come here and says he has important matters to discuss."

"Guo Yijian?"

Xiang Yuesheng squinted, his face still angry. After contemplating for a while, he said, "Take him to the meeting room."
