Chapter 294: Chapter 288: I Want to Talk to You

Su Chen gazed deeply at Pang Lin, without saying a word.

He had no interest in arguing with Pang Lin; in Su Chen’s heart, Pang Lin wasn’t even worth as much as an ant. At such an old age, he still lacked the dignity and vision he ought to have. How pitiful.

"Speak up! What’s the matter? Can’t speak anymore? Can’t fill the hole you dug with the boasts you made before?" Seeing Su Chen silent, Pang Lin grew more aggressive, the sneer on his aged face becoming even more pronounced, "Elder Zhu thinks highly of you! He believes you can still recover your strength!"

With that, Pang Lin turned to look at Zhu Songming, "What do you say, Elder Zhu?"

Zhu Songming, too, remained silent, although his expression was not pleasant.

As Su Chen walked out of the Stele Suppressing Tower, there was not a trace of change in his aura, his Dantian also had not returned, and he remained useless. Zhu Songming felt a sigh of regret and helplessness at the bottom of his heart.

After all, one must face reality!

He had thought Su Chen was a monster among monsters, maybe capable of reversing everything, creating a miracle, but now it seemed...

However, although Zhu Songming felt regret and helplessness, he didn’t regret his support for Su Chen at all. It was better than being like Pang Lin and Yang Huang, who easily turned their backs and couldn’t be more realistic.

After all, people should have some sense of humanity.

"Old Xue, about those thousand Mysterious Stones..." Standing beside Xue Ligui, Yang Huang lowered his voice, unable to help mentioning the Mysterious Stones again, "Now it’s one hundred percent certain that Su Chen really is useless. Those thousand Mysterious Stones should not..."

This time.

Xue Ligui, instead of scolding Yang Huang like he had days before, was frowning in silence.

"Old Xue, a thousand Mysterious Stones are enough to rebuild hundreds of Mysterious Qi Grandmasters. It’s extremely significant for Taixuan Academy!" Yang Huang continued, now with more confidence.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Ligui looked deeply at Su Chen, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Just at this moment...

"Su Chen!!! Days ago, I, Chang Ming, issued a challenge to you, but like a turtle hiding its head, you holed up in the Stele Suppressing Tower! Today, in front of the entire Taixuan Academy’s elders, senior elders, instructors, and students, I, Chang Ming, issue a challenge to you again. Do you dare to accept the fight?"

Chang Ming stepped forward again.

His voice was thunderous.

His momentum unstoppable.

Clutching a sparkling metal whip in one hand, deadly Qi billowed around Chang Ming, like a bloody river winding around his body.

Dressed in black, he stood tall, lifting his eyes arrogantly and imperiously, his gaze laden with mockery as he stared at Su Chen.

"You, Su Chen, dare or not?! If you do not dare, then kneel before me and beg for mercy. Maybe, I’ll spare you!" Chang Ming shouted again, his voice louder, thunderous.

Those students standing close to him involuntarily stepped back, looking at Chang Ming with immense respect and fear.

The days Su Chen had spent in the Stele Suppressing Tower.

Another major event had occurred in Taixuan Academy—Chang Ming had mastered the "Ninth Grade Stab."

"Ninth Grade Stab," a mystic-level mid-grade martial technique, was also one of the three highest-ranked martial skills among the hundreds housed in Taixuan Academy.

"Ninth Grade Stab" is suitable for swordsmen, saber wielders, stabbers, and whip users. In general, "Ninth Grade Stab" is a martial skill that most martial cultivators can practice.

But, practically no one had been successful in practicing it.

Rumors had it that years ago, Ancestor Chen Hen had successfully cultivated the "Ninth Grade Stab," and after that... Chang Ming was the second one!!!

After Chang Ming successfully cultivated the "Ninth Grade Stab," he challenged and defeated Zhou Wu, the super genius ranking second in the Inner Courtyard of Taixuan Academy, on the very same day, using only thirty moves and displaying great combat power.

These past few days, Chang Ming had become the most prominent person in the entire Taixuan Academy, dazzling and full of vigor, someone no one dared to provoke.

Thus, Chang Ming’s aggressive challenge at this moment was also something many had anticipated.

And then.

Before Su Chen could speak.

"Su Chen!!! I, Ao Zhang, also issue a challenge to you, no, a challenge to the death. You killed my brother Ao Hong, and I will not share the heavens with you!"

Ao Zhang also stepped forward, his hands wielding a heavy saber that was chilling and dazzling with cold light. The blade was sharp and coldly arrogant, pointing directly at Su Chen.

Ao Zhang’s face showed little emotion, save for the thick killing intent contained in his eyes.

In front of him, the air crackled with noise, and the fluctuations of Mysterious Qi were chilling to the bone.

It seemed as if he was ready to strike at any moment.

Although Ao Zhang was far from matching Chang Ming in strength, he had a very good reason to seek a life-and-death battle with Su Chen!

Many students nodded slightly, understanding Ao Zhang’s stance.

Now, in the eyes of many students, Su Chen was like a delicious piece of meat waiting to be devoured, and it was only natural for Ao Zhang to claim a share.

It was at this second.

Following Chang Ming and Ao Zhang, yet another person stood out.

This person was over eight feet tall, large in stature, clad in a metal armor that bulged with muscles, had a square face and a thick beard. Although in his twenties, he looked to be in his thirties.

He clenched his fists tightly, and his huge knuckles made a cracking sound. His throat rumbled as he bellowed furiously, "And me, Su Chen, my name is Yu He. My grandfather Yu Tianteng was gravely injured by you, and to this day lies bedridden, teetering between life and death. I, just like you, shall not share the sky with you. If you are still a man, stop pretending to be a coward and fight me fairly, life or death be damned. If not, I can even fight you with one hand tied behind my back!"

Just like Ao Zhang, Yu He stepped forward, and it made perfect sense.

Su Chen remained silent.

Without uttering a word.

At this moment.

Below the Stele Suppressing Tower, amidst the sea of students, more of them began to shout loudly:

"Su Chen, if you’re a man, then fight!!!"

"Su Chen, are you afraid?"

"Su Chen, weren’t you arrogant before?"

"What a cowardly turtle, truly shameful!"

"Unworthy of being a student of Taixuan Academy!"

......

Piercing voices swirled around, in front of the Stele Suppressing Tower, as momentum rolled and spread, creating chaos.

Pang Lin couldn’t help but laugh. He slightly raised his eyelids, giving Su Chen a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Su Chen, the martial arts atmosphere in Taixuan Academy is intense, challenges and being challenged are common. Usually, very few people would refuse!"

Su Chen still said nothing.

"Kid, do you find it all very amusing?" Jiuyou suddenly spoke up, "Humans are always like this. When you rise to the skies, they cheer, applaud, and fawn over you, eager to establish the closest relationship possible. But when you fall, or when they think you have fallen, they mercilessly kick you, eager to crush you to death and rejoice in it!"

"I’ve long anticipated this and have grown accustomed to it," Su Chen replied without much emotional change, "However, this might actually be a good thing for me. Before, I was considering how to help Taixuan Academy when I ascend to the Divine Martial Continent since I am from Taixuan Academy after all. Now... heh, what do Taixuan Academy’s affairs have to do with me?"

"Everybody, shut up!!!" At that very second, Xue Ligui suddenly shouted.

With his shout,

Suddenly,

Everyone fell silent.

"Su Chen, I would like to speak with you alone..." Following the silence, Xue Ligui looked at Su Chen and said.

"There’s no need to speak alone. Just say it here," Su Chen replied indifferently.

He could sense that Xue Ligui’s attitude had turned very cold.

Out of the seven Supreme Elders, aside from Zhu Songming, the others had probably completely given up on him, or even wanted to strip him of his Mysterious Stone, martial skills, cultivation techniques, and so on. Maybe even, to eliminate future troubles, they wanted him dead as well.

Su Chen truly had no interest or patience to have a private talk with Xue Ligui.

"This..." Xue Ligui bit his teeth and, in the end, nodded, "Su Chen, here is the thing. For the safety of Taixuan Academy, Taixuan Mountain, the Martial Arts World, and even the whole of China, after deliberation among us seven Supreme Elders, we have decided to execute Ji Linger!"
