Chapter 29 – There is one thing left to do
Su Mocheng's face beamed with pride as he watched all the instructors from the fourth division vying for his son, his joy almost spilling over.
However, when he saw Su Yilong shake his head, his mind buzzed with disbelief. Rejection?
The four instructors froze as they saw Su Yilong's refusal, their excitement solidifying. Were they being rejected despite their generous offers?
Rejecting them all, could it be he wanted to join the fifth division? The instructors turned sharply, their gazes fiercely landing on Tian Yuyue, their faces turning grim with unspoken accusations of poaching.
Tian Yuyue, under their menacing stares, was utterly confused, not understanding what had just happened.
"Su Yilong actually refused. Does he want to join the fifth division?"
"The fifth division doesn't offer as good conditions, what is Su Yilong thinking?"
Even the spectators below the stage were baffled, unable to comprehend Su Yilong's actions.
"Su Yilong, are you planning to join the fifth division?" the instructor from the first division glared at Su Yilong, his displeasure written all over his face.
Su Yilong continued to shake his head, causing the instructors to frown in unison. If not, then what?
Su Mocheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a refusal to join the Martial House, he would support whatever Su Yilong wanted to do.
"Instructors, I still have unfinished business. Please give me some time, and I will make my decision afterwards," Su Yilong said, causing the four instructors to look up, their gazes simultaneously falling on Su Mu.
The unfinished business could only be the life-and-death battle initiated by Su Mu!
"How ruthless!"
Everyone was astonished. Su Yilong was too cruel; Su Mu had barely risen before, and not only had Su Yilong destroyed his Dantian, but he also wanted to kill him to climb higher, an act of sheer malice!
The Grand Elder and Huang Shiren's faces turned pale. Su Mu, with a Fate Palace below the third rank, how could he possibly be a match for Su Yilong!
Su Mocheng's lips curled into a sinister smile, nodding in approval at Su Yilong. Eradicating the roots, well done!
"Su Mu, let the life-and-death battle begin!" Su Yilong drew his sword, pointing it at Su Mu!
"No!" The Grand Elder and Huang Shiren stood up to intervene, but Su Yilong's eyes flashed coldly at them.
"The life-and-death battle was Su Mu's own proposal. I didn't force him!"
The two elders turned ashen, unsure of what to do, as the challenge had indeed been initiated by Su Mu.
"Su Mu, you no longer have the chance to regret. If you're a man, stand up and fight!" Su Yilong sneered, looking at Su Mu as if he was already in control of his life and death.
"Grand Elder, Uncle Huang, this was my choice. Let me end it," Su Mu stepped forward, speaking calmly.
"Su Mu, you mustn't give up on yourself!" The Grand Elder and Huang Shiren were anxious. In their eyes, Su Mu's actions were tantamount to giving up after consolidating a trash Fate Palace. If they could just intervene, he would still have a chance to rise!
But they couldn't express these thoughts to Su Mu and could only worry silently.
"Thank you for your concern, elders. The path I've chosen, I will see it through," Su Mu said with a determined smile, which to others seemed like a final farewell.
Seeing Su Mu step opposite Su Yilong, Huang Shiren closed his eyes and shook his head in resignation, while the Grand Elder clenched his fists, hating himself for not being able to protect such a promising child.
"Su Mu, if you have any last words, better say them now, or you won't have the chance later," Su Yilong looked down at Su Mu with arrogance, as if he had already sealed Su Mu's fate.
Su Mu remained silent, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Su Yilong's words had alerted him; refusing the Martial House's offer was not just for show, there was a deeper purpose.
Su Yilong had not yet made his choice, meaning the instructors from all four divisions would still think they had a chance. If anything unexpected happened, they would surely support Su Yilong, giving him an unbeatable position.
Su Yilong was indeed clever.
"Instructors, this is a life-and-death battle between me and Su Yilong. Please do not interfere!" Su Mu addressed the four instructors first.
The instructors from the previous divisions scoffed at his words. If he was seeking death, they would be fools to interfere!
"Rest assured, this is a matter between the two of you. We will not intervene."
"What is he doing?" The instructor from the first division made a final decision, while Tian Yuyue was frantic. Wasn't this cutting off her own escape?
Like the Grand Elder and Huang Shiren, she didn't underestimate Su Mu for having a trash Fate Palace; on the contrary, she saw potential in him and believed he would achieve greatness. But now, it all seemed over.
"Are you done? Ready to die?" Su Yilong sneered, his aura suddenly erupting.
"Fate Palace Realm, ninth layer!"
The crowd gasped at the intensity of Su Yilong's aura. No wonder he had almost shattered the Bronze Humanoid with a single punch; his cultivation was terrifying!
Even the five instructors were taken aback. So young and with such cultivation, Su Yilong could rank high within the Martial House!
"This is just the beginning!" The instructors from the previous divisions felt their hearts ignite. This was just one month after Su Yilong had achieved the Twin Fate Palace; he would only grow stronger and might even reach the pinnacle of the Martial House!
Su Mu's expression changed slightly. The Twin Fate Palace was indeed powerful, but it only fueled his hatred further.
Everything Su Yilong had was stolen from him!
"Qingxuan Transformation!" Su Yilong sneered arrogantly, wielding his sword and unleashing a Battle Technique!
This time, he intended to kill Su Mu in one strike and eliminate any future threats.
"Qingxuan Transformation!" Seeing Su Yilong use the Battle Technique, Su Mu's eyes were filled with hatred. This technique was one he had risked his life to bring back from outside!
"Familiar, isn't it? This is the upper Common Rank Battle Technique you brought back, just shy of the Mysterious Rank."
"You barely glanced at it, right? Now I've completely mastered it!"
"Ha ha…"
Su Yilong laughed wildly, his life had always been about stepping over Su Mu to ascend, and now, this stepping stone could die!
"It's a pity, you can only use it one last time!" Su Mu gritted his teeth as he spoke, drawing his sword.
"Boom!"
His aura exploded, charging at Su Yilong like an arrow released from a bow!
At the same time, the crowd sensed his cultivation.
"Fate Palace Realm, sixth layer!"
The crowd was moved, swallowing hard.

"Before Su Mu was crippled, he was only in the early stages of the Fate Palace Realm. Who would have thought he'd be close to the late stages after being crippled."
"Truly a child of heaven, but what a waste of a trash Fate Palace."
The crowd shook their heads in pity. Even if Su Mu's consolidated Fate Palace had been a bit stronger, he wouldn't be much weaker than Su Yilong.
His cultivation made even the Martial House instructors take notice. Su Mu was much younger than Su Yilong and yet so much stronger!
But they soon scoffed in disdain. What did high cultivation matter? It was just based on past foundations and some fortuitous encounters, nothing more than a fleeting moment of glory!
The Grand Elder and Huang Shiren felt a pang of pain. Was such strength going to end like this?
"Hmm?" Huang Shiren's gaze suddenly caught Huang Yiyun, who was watching Su Mu and Su Yilong without much worry on her face, her expression shifting.
