Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

Yes, fear!

A monster who can unleash attacks at the threshold of a domain lord at the age of eighteen.

If he grows up, who in this vast starry sky can stop his progress?

On the other side...

Zhao Wuji was being protected by the Second Elder.

At this moment, they have completely lost the ability to think.

He stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the tiny crack in front of him.

My entire body was completely soaked in cold sweat.

My Dao heart has collapsed!

Utter collapse!

He, a peak elder of the Black Hole level with tens of millions of Origin Blood, actually felt the fear of death in front of an eighteen-year-old boy.

If it weren't for the Second Elder's intervention.

He had no doubt about the collapsing black hole he was so proud of, or his indestructible physical body.

Before that dark golden spear light, it would be torn to shreds like paper!

"I……"

Zhao Wuji opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But he found that his throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound.

His pride, his dignity.

In this battle, it was crushed to pieces by Su Yu, leaving not even a trace.

below.

Chu Wudao swallowed hard and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Looking at the godlike figure in mid-air, he felt a sense of relief.

"fine……"

"Luckily, I gave up a long time ago."

Chu Wudao muttered to himself.

"This isn't human! This is a living Yama, sent down by the laws of the universe to punish us!"

in the corner.

The two assassins, Shadow Assassin and Blood Blade, were already huddled together, trembling with fear.

They don't even have the courage to look at Su Yu now.

All I could think about was finding a broom and sweeping the floor in the most secluded corner outside the gate.

Never again should you ever appear in this monster's sight!

midair.

The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Zhao Wuji stood there dumbfounded, while the elders were speechless with shock.

It was the Second Elder who broke the silence first.

After all, he was a high-ranking member of the sect and had to consider the face of the outer sect elders.

We can't embarrass Zhao Wuji too much.

The Second Elder coughed and cleared his throat.

"Cough cough."

"that……"

The Second Elder's gaze swept across the entire room, and his tone became exceptionally authoritative.

"That battle just now was merely a sparring match that Elder Zhao arranged to test the limits of the new disciples."

"Elder Zhao's actions were unintentional, showing his love for talent; please don't make a fuss about it."

Upon hearing these words from the Second Elder...

The surrounding elders all showed knowing expressions.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Old Zhao is testing his new disciple!"

"You've put a lot of thought into this!"

Everyone was trying to save face for Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji stiffly turned his head, glanced at the Second Elder, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the Second Elder was trying to save his last bit of face.

however.

As the other party involved in this "exchange".

Su Yu, however, didn't seem to care.

He didn't care about sparring or anything like that, nor did he care about Zhao Wuji's feelings.

He flipped his wrist.

The dark golden spear, formed from the essence of the Daoist spear, instantly transformed into an invisible law and vanished into the world.

Su Yu looked at the Second Elder with a calm expression.

then.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes.

He extended his right hand, palm up, and opened it.

"Second Elder."

Su Yu's voice was calm, without the slightest ripple.

"Twenty thousand star stones."

"Give it to me."

Quiet.

The atmosphere in the outer square, which had just eased a little, fell into a deathly silence once again.

All the elders were stunned.

They stared blankly at Su Yu's outstretched hand.

My brain went blank for a moment.

What's going on?

Twenty thousand star stones?!

At this moment, you, a peerless prodigy, displayed terrifying combat power that shocked the entire scene.

Shouldn't one appear indifferent and disregard fame and fortune?

Shouldn't we take this opportunity to show our loyalty to the sect and exchange it for a core training spot?

The very first thing you said was to ask for money?!

Elder Lei Huofeng's lips twitched violently.

"This kid..."

"All you think about is money, huh?"

The direct disciples of the Grand Elder's lineage were also speechless.

"Such a peerless genius, actually a money-grubber?"

"This is utterly disgraceful!"

midair.

The Second Elder was also stunned by Su Yu's sudden move.

He looked at Su Yu's serious face.

A full three seconds passed.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

The Second Elder suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, the sound of which shook the starry sky.

"good!"

"Good lad!"

"Straightforward enough! Delicious enough! Just my style!"

The Second Elder did not hesitate at all.

As a dignified domain lord, his word is his bond; what he says, he will naturally keep.

With a wave of his hand.

A storage bag radiating intense starlight energy transformed into a streak of light and landed in Su Yu's palm.

"Here are 20,000 low-grade star essence stones!"

"Not a single one missing!"

The Second Elder looked at Su Yu with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

Su Yu weighed the storage bag in his hand and scanned it with his mental energy.

After confirming that the quantity was correct, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his usually expressionless face.

Twenty thousand Meteorite Balance, now in hand.

Adding the remaining 10,000, they now have a massive sum of 30,000 Star Stones.

Makes a killing.

Su Yu put away the storage bag and was about to leave.

"etc."

The Second Elder suddenly spoke up and called out to Su Yu.

Su Yu stopped and looked at the Second Elder.

The Second Elder took a deep breath, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

He looked at Su Yu, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

original.

When they saw Su Yu display the Dao-Transforming Spear Intent and the 100,000-fold increase in his cultivation technique.

The Second Elder's first reaction was to directly accept Su Yu as his personal disciple and devote all resources to nurturing him.

but.

After he calmed down, he discovered an extremely embarrassing fact.

He can't teach.

Yes, it can't be taught.

Su Yu's cultivation technique is a Great Perfection Domain Lord level technique with a 100,000-fold amplification.

He himself was only 20,000 times more.

Su Yu's martial will is the Dao-transforming spear intent that forcibly strips away the Great Dao.

His own understanding of this path was not even as profound as that of the eighteen-year-old boy in front of him.

Apprentice?

What should I teach after accepting the student?

How can I teach him to reduce the amplification factor from 100,000 to 20,000?

That's not taking on disciples, that's misleading and corrupting people!

The Second Elder gave a bitter smile to himself.

"This kid's comprehension is unprecedented and will likely remain so."

"If I were to force him to become my disciple, it would only tie his hands and feet."

"Since we can't be master and apprentice..."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in the Second Elder's eyes.

"Then let's use mutual benefits to completely bind him to our faction's chariot!"

make up one's mind.

The Second Elder looked at Su Yu and spoke slowly.

"Su Yu".

"Would you be interested in coming to my main peak?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding elders all perked up their ears.

The Second Elder is trying to snatch someone away!

However, what the Second Elder said next shocked everyone.

"I will not accept you as my disciple."

"I invite you to come to my Taichu Peak and serve as a steward!"

boom!

This statement caused an uproar in the room.

deacon?!

To appoint an eighteen-year-old boy who has just entered the sect as a steward of the inner sect's main peak?!

This is simply breaking the rules established since the founding of the Primordial Divine Martial Sect!
