Chapter 332: Rules Are Good To Have (1)
In the ring.
Su Yu had been shouting the word "concede" so many times that he was starting to feel numb. There were so many challengers. How sad. Wouldn't it be nice if someone delivered him a cup of tea right about now?
"I concedeโ" Su Yu suddenly stopped. He stared at the person in front of him and asked, "Weren't you here earlier?"
A girl shyly said, "They never said that we can't win twice. I paid three merit points so I still have two challenges left!"
"..."
Su Yu wondered if this was Xia Huyou's little sister. She was definitely that fatty's sister! Stop pretending!
Su Yu kindly reminded her, "Once is enough. And if you can't even get the reward with one victory, it doesn't matter if you have more victories. It is worth betting one merit point on a certain someone not being too shameless, but don't waste too much money, fellow student."
The girl shyly said, "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Student Su Yu. I'm not afraid. I can definitely get the rewards. My dad is the director of the Talent Fostering Bureau. If he reneges on the debt, I'll have my dad disqualify him as a researcher."
"..."
Su Yu was dumbstruck.
Holy shit!
Director of the Talent Fostering Bureau. That was a big shot.
And it was true that one needed to get an official approval from the Talent Fostering Bureau to get promoted as a researcher. In that case, would Zhou Mingren give this girl the willpower texts?
If he refused, she might really be able to make her father disqualify him. Of course, people were generally unwilling to offend a Mountainsea cultivator. But this matter involved more than one or two people. This matter had created such a big ruckus. If Zhou Mingren did not give a satisfactory answer, he might really suffer some losses.
After learning of the girl's identity, Su Yu asked, "Why don't you pay 10 merit points for 10 attempts?"
"..."
The girl ignored him and went back to the line for her third attempt. She was not interested. Three attempts were more than enough for her. She only wanted one Myriad Text Sutra, one War God Art, and one Skybreak Technique. You should never get too greedy! Please visit fr๐๐w๐.๐ธ๐๐ช website to read fastest update
Nearby, the researchers who had gathered to enjoy the show were completely stunned. If this matter kept escalating, then things could get very troublesome.
They had not put much thought into it before taking action, but that had given Su Yu the chance to instantly pin the crime of bullying students on them. Anyone at the Skysoar Realm and above found guilty of bullying students would be exiled to the Allheaven Battlefield even if they could escape the death sentence.
Being exiled to the battlefield was completely different from going there after joining an army. The exiles would be sent to the Vanguard Regiment.
"Arrest them!"
The Cloudbreach commander gave the order and the researchers who had tried to stop the students were all arrested. Regardless of whether they were in the Skysoar or the Cloudbreach Realm, all of them were taken in.
None of them dared to resist. Even the teaching assistant sent flying earlier had realized what was happening. They suddenly recalled Elder Zheng's fate. How many days had it been since that incident? Were they really suicidal? Why would they challenge the academy rules so soon after that?
In the ring, Su Yu appeared completely indifferent.
Rules...were meant to be exploited. And only rules that could protect him were worth following. He had long expected that the single character faction would try to meddle during the challenges. And the guards were the perfect tool against them. Why? Because of the rules. They were not allowed to meddle in fights between students.
"The challenge continues." Su Yu said, "Everyone, you better move faster while you have the chance. The rules are on our side. If they dare to renege on the debt, just sue them! Worst comes to worst, the academy will settle this for you. Even if you can't get the promised willpower text, you might be able to get some merit points, or a free entry into a grotto, or a free chance to observe a willpower text writing session, or something else. None of you will end up empty handed.
"The single character faction has nearly 100 teaching assistants and researchers. Each of them only needs to write at least one willpower text to produce 100 willpower texts. Even if you can't get a Mountainsea willpower text, a Skysoar willpower text would still be a decent reward.
"Even if they decide to replace your willpower texts with some free lectures, a single lecture would normally cost you at least five merit points, right? No matter what, you won't lose money doing this!"
Right that moment, someone shouted, "If you really fail to claim the willpower text from them, give me a chance to do it. Just issue me a receipt so that I can claim the text on your behalf. I am willing to pay for the receipts with merit points. What do you think?"
"..."
The crowd looked at the speaker in astonishment. That was an unfamiliar face. It was not Xia Huyou. Rather, it was a relatively unknown student.
That person continued shouting, "I'm telling the truth. I'll buy your receipts with money. Don't worry. I'm not trying to scam anyone. My dad is a 1000-man-commander in the Martial Dragon Guards!"
That finally moved the crowd. A 1000-man-commander in the Martial Dragon Guards! That was not the Devil Subduing Army. The Martial Dragon Guards was basically the personal army of the prefect. Even the weakest of their 1000-man-commander would be a seventh-stage Skysoar. A majority of them were in the Cloudbreach Realm.
Sure, they were not Mountainsea cultivators, but they were the personal army of the prefect. And thus, more and more people were tempted. The line in front of Wu Jia became longer and longer.
Su Yu glanced at Xia Huyou and saw the fatty smiling silently. He couldn't help but to berate inwardly that this fellow was truly too devious. Instead of making a move himself, he had someone else move on his behalf.
Clearly, Xia Huyou did not intend to directly involve the Xia Family in this matter. Rather, he was using an intermediary. Even if the Xia Family was eventually going to be the one to collect the debt, he would insist that the debt had merely been sold to them.
Su Yu didn't even need to guess to know that Xia Huyou would be using that excuse. The Xia Family could not get involved directly since they were the ruling family of the Great Xia. They could not show too much bias toward a single side.
Su Yu felt somewhat regretful. He had originally intended to drag the Xia Family into the matter as well. That way, he would be able to create an impression that the Xia Family backed the multiple character faction. But clearly, the Xia Family was no fool. They could not be dragged in so easily.
