Starting with the Nine Yang Divine Skill, school beauty, please be more reserved!

Hearing these rules, Su Chen's expression turned slightly solemn.

By the time the principal finished his explanation, it was already late at night.

But many people were still on their way.

Lu Yunxi said, "Su Chen, you should rest first!"

"These past few days have been exhausting. I need to recharge so I can participate in the Heavenly Pride Battle tomorrow!!"

Su Chen didn't refuse and leaned against a nearby rock to fall asleep.

The principal then looked at Lu Yunxi and said softly, "Granddaughter, are you really not going to win over Su Chen?"

"Such a promising talent, if he just slips away like this, I'll be heartbroken!"

Even now, he still hasn't given up on trying to bring Lu Yunxi and Su Chen together!

Lu Yunxi was about to explode!

"Su Chen is my student; he's only a freshman!!"

She couldn't understand what the old man was thinking.

But the principal said nonchalantly, "You're just a tutor at his school, not a master with whom he's formally taken a master-disciple relationship. What does it matter?"

"Besides, Su Chen will graduate sooner or later. Even I, an old fogey, don't care, so what are you guys embarrassed about!"

"What's wrong with young people these days? They're all so open online, but in real life, they're too scared to even hold hands with someone of the opposite sex!"

Lu Yunxi was so angry she almost laughed.

She said again, "How old am I? How old is Su Chen?!"

How could you even say that?!

The principal remained unconcerned, stating bluntly, "You're only fifteen years older than Su Chen, it's nothing!"

"There's an old saying: 'A woman three years older than him is like holding a gold brick.' You're fifteen years older than him, so he must be holding five gold bricks!"

"My goodness, this brat is really going to have a good time!!"

Lu Yunxi couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Old man, if you say that again, I'll pluck your beard and leave Shenxia Imperial School right now!!"

Upon hearing this, the principal finally shut up, knowing that Lu Yunxi was truly angry.

Meanwhile, Su Chen awkwardly dug his toes into the ground.

You guys should at least try to avoid me.

I just closed my eyes and you're already saying things like that!

The next morning!

Su Chen was awakened by the sound of a bell.

He opened his eyes, looked around, and saw the principal and Lu Yunxi sitting beside him. Only then did he stand up.

"woke up!"

Lu Yunxi asked, and Su Chen nodded.

"The battle of geniuses is about to begin, get ready!"

As she spoke, Lu Yunxi handed Su Chen a large meat bun.

Su Chen took it and started eating.

At that moment, an old man appeared and stood in the sky.

It was as if he had always been there.

"The battle of geniuses...begins now!!"

The old man's voice wasn't loud, but it could be accurately heard by everyone.

"Anyone not involved, leave immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the principal said, "Su Chen, be careful and act within your capabilities!"

We'll be waiting for you outside the island!

With that, he led Lu Yunxi away.

Those who had come to see them off also left one after another, leaving behind only those who had participated in the battle of the prodigies!

The old man's eyes swept over him, and Su Chen clearly felt an extremely terrifying force sweep across his entire body, disappearing in a flash.

He looked at the old man in the air, and his eyes couldn't help but show more awe!

Such strength is truly terrifying!

Then, the old man disappeared.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and then walked forward.

The other participants also disappeared into the dense jungle.

Some people have already started fighting!

Su Chen ignored these people and instead entered the jungle.

He hadn't gone far when he saw a chubby little boy appear.

Instantly, Su Chen became alert!

But the chubby boy laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, brother, I mean no harm!"

As he spoke, he walked up, seemingly having no intention of making a move!

"Since you're traveling alone, how about we team up?"

The chubby boy chuckled and, before Su Chen could answer, added, "There's no rule against forming teams. In fact, many people have made it to the finals by forming teams over the years!"

"That's perfectly normal!"

"Furthermore, if we team up, we can look out for each other. If we're attacked by a group, we'll have someone to help us!"

Su Chen looked at him; the guy seemed completely harmless.

But Su Chen knew very well that the more someone was like that, the more careful he had to be!

So he said, "I'm not interested!!"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

But the fat man blocked Su Chen's way.

"Dude, why are you so stubborn?"

"Teaming up with me will only benefit you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen's fist had already landed on his lower abdomen.

The immense force struck, making the fat man feel as if his internal organs had shifted, and his entire body of fat trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, his body flew out and crashed into a rock.

The moment he landed, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Su Chen merely glanced at him and coldly said, "Shut up!!"

After saying that, he left immediately.

A normal person would just leave after being refused, but this guy insisted on persuading him to join the team, saying he had no problem. Who would believe that?

Another point is that there really is no problem.

From the moment the battle of geniuses began, they were already enemies.

The fat man only breathed a sigh of relief after watching Su Chen's figure disappear.

"Damn, this kid went way too far!!"

"Looks like we need to think of a new approach!!"

At this point, he angrily slammed his fist on the ground.

"Damn, how can this kid be so alert at his age?!"

He was somewhat surprised, but after stabilizing his injuries, he prepared to leave.

But before he had taken more than a few steps, he sensed something was wrong.

Turning around abruptly, she saw that Su Chen had appeared there at some point.

A sense of crisis instantly enveloped him.

He was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, but Su Chen had already closed in on him.

Before he could react, Su Chen's fist had already landed on him again.

He felt excruciating pain all over his body and was sent flying backward uncontrollably, crashing through several large trees before finally coming to a stop.

But at this moment, he had completely lost the ability to fight back.

Su Chen walked up and looked at him with cold eyes.

"I knew you were up to something!!"

"Tell me, I have no grudge against you, what do you want from me by approaching me?!"

Su Chen was genuinely curious.

After all, he really didn't know this guy!

The fat man coughed up blood, and after regaining his breath, he coldly said, "Su Chen, do you think you're safe just because you defeated me?"

"Let me tell you, there are far too many people who want to kill you!!"

"You are doomed in this battle of geniuses!!"

With that, he severed his own heart meridian and ended his own life.

Su Chen frowned, then tore open the guy's clothes, and sure enough, he saw the Orochi Clan's insignia!

"Just as I expected!!"

Su Chen said softly, he really hadn't expected that Orochi's infiltration would be so severe...
