Zongman: I'm working hard to develop my daily life in the time-travel series

“I don’t care about that position,” Shi Yu said calmly. “I just want to find the truth that has been hidden in our family history.”

These words drew ridicule from the other disciples.

"You're really arrogant! Don't think you have any special qualifications to uncover the family's secrets."

“We won’t let you have your way,” a cunning disciple suddenly challenged. “Let’s see who is the strongest disciple in the Ascension Tower!”

Shi Yu frowned slightly; he hadn't expected to be besieged by his fellow disciples.

He looked at the group of people with some helplessness, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding with reason.

He knew that these people did not understand his true goals and pursuits.

However, faced with increasingly fierce attacks, Shi Yu had no choice but to retaliate.

He moved, and spiritual energy condensed into a protective shield around him.

The provocateur, filled with mockery, swung his sword at Shi Yu...

The sword light sliced ​​through the air, producing a series of sharp whistling sounds.

Shi Yu dodged and quickly counterattacked, the spiritual energy he gathered in his hand instantly transforming into sword light, which rushed straight towards the provocateur.

While the provocateur was still entangled, the other disciples also surrounded and attacked Shi Yu.

The scene suddenly became chaotic—spiritual energy and sword light intertwined and danced, emitting a buzzing sound within the Ascension Tower.

Swords flashed and shadows danced in the air, a dazzling spectacle. Bai Zhi felt anger and worry upon learning of Shi Yu's predicament. Watching her fellow disciples launch a siege against Shi Yu, a fire burned fiercely within her.

How could she sit idly by and watch her beloved person be wronged and hurt?

"Enough!" Bai Zhi couldn't help but shout loudly. She stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over the group of provocateurs with sharp, piercing eyes.

"Bai Zhi, you still dare to speak up for him? Have you been bewitched by him too?" a fellow disciple mocked.

"Shut up! You shameless scoundrels! Shi Yu has always been kind and upright; I've never seen him do anything malicious! What you call betrayal is just a misunderstanding!" Bai Zhi shouted angrily.

He retorted.

Chapter 613 Don't you understand? This is Shi Yu's trick!

The other disciples' expressions changed; they hadn't expected Bai Zhi to be so resolute and fearless.

But they have no intention of giving up and are still poised to strike.

Bai Chengming's face darkened; he knew he couldn't stop his fellow disciples from pursuing him.

Although he was Bai Zhi's senior brother, he was powerless in this seemingly peaceful sect due to his lack of strength and societal expectations.

"Don't forget that we, as fellow disciples, should understand and tolerate each other." Bai Chengming tried to control his voice, attempting to persuade the pursuers to realize their mistake.

However, none of his fellow disciples present showed any change after hearing his words.

On the contrary, they stared at Bai Chengming with even greater arrogance, as if mocking him for being deceived by Shi Yu.

"Sect Leader, don't you understand? This is Shi Yu's trick!" a disciple sneered. "We can't let him continue to betray our sect."

Bai Chengming felt a pang of inner turmoil.

He knew that Shi Yu had not betrayed him, but in this situation, he was unable to perfectly balance his emotions and responsibilities.

Nevertheless, as the patriarch, he still tried to awaken his deepest belief: "Shi Yu is not like that; you don't understand him."

No matter how hard Bai Chengming tried to persuade his fellow disciples, they seemed unable to listen to him; their deep-seated prejudices made them unwilling to accept the truth. Shi Yu then engaged in a fierce struggle with his fellow disciples.

Despite his hard work, he gradually found himself at a disadvantage in the face of attacks from numerous enemies.

Every move he made was easily countered by his opponent, and Shi Yu's body suffered severe injuries in this brutal battle.

The fight attracted the attention of many disciples and family members, who gathered to watch.

Bai Chengming watched as Shi Yu was beaten into a rout, then looked worriedly at Qin Hao, trying to signal him with his eyes to stop the fight.

Qin Hao looked at the scene indifferently, his face expressionless.

Time passed slowly, and Shi Yu was exhausted, his body covered in wounds. He was so weary he could barely stand, swaying precariously.

Numerous fellow disciples and family members were closely surrounding the battle, as if the darkest night was illuminated by the scattered attention of the others.

Meanwhile, Qin Hao stood aside, quietly observing everything.

His face was expressionless, like an immovable statue, and the indifference in his eyes sent a chill down one's spine.

Bai Chengming watched with burning anxiety as Shi Yu suffered a severe injury.

He looked helplessly at Qin Hao, trying to signal him with his eyes to stop it all.

However, in Qin Hao's cold gaze, Bai Chengming saw a decisive and rational answer—no interference.

Time slipped away quietly before everyone's eyes, as if it paused for a moment before continuing its journey.

On the battlefield, Shi Yu was exhausted, and his body covered in wounds made him look disheveled.

He endured the excruciating pain, gritting his teeth and persevering.

Although Shi Yu appeared to have suffered a complete defeat on the surface, a firm will ignited within him.

With a glint in his eyes, Shi Yu slowly raised his head and stared directly at his opponent.

He gripped the longsword tightly, exuding an aura of indomitable spirit.

Despite his physical limits, a deep inner strength sustained him.

Qin Hao watched all of this quietly.

Although Shi Yu was seriously injured, he still believed that Shi Yu was capable of handling this challenge.

Chapter 614 A chilling atmosphere permeated the entire arena.

A warm light flickered in his eyes, as if the other person was brimming with confidence.

Just as many fellow disciples and family members were engaged in this battle, a tall figure suddenly appeared.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the newcomer and discovered that he was actually a disciple of another family—Chen Tong.

Chen Tong's gaze was arrogant. He walked up to Shi Yu with a self-righteous and provocative look.

He not only mocked the privileged label attached to Shi Yu, but also took pride in his own ranking in the Ascension Tower, questioning Shi Yu's overly high-profile performance in the Ascension Tower.

"Shi Yu, you've really disappointed me!" Chen Tong said with a contemptuous tone. "Although you're a bit clever and climbed into the top ten in the Ascension Tower, what does that mean? Do you think you can rely on that little bit of skill to..."

Are they being arrogant in front of us?

Chen Tong's smug attitude sparked slight murmurs among the crowd.

Shi Yu stood there without speaking, simply looking at the other person in silence. Shi Yu took a deep breath, maintaining a calm expression on his face.

He knew Chen Tong was a formidable opponent, but he wasn't afraid.

Faced with Chen Tong's provocation and insults, Shi Yu simply smiled and accepted his challenge.

Bai Zhi stood aside watching worriedly. She knew that Chen Tong was exceptionally capable and had a treacherous and ruthless style.

She worried that Shi Yu might get hurt, but she also believed in his resilience and wisdom in handling unexpected situations. "Chen Tong, do you think you can prove your justice by challenging me with such despicable means?" Shi Yu's voice was firm and calm, his gaze fixed intently on Chen Tong.

Chen Tong laughed even more smugly, mocking, "Looks like you're still too naive, kid! In this world, only the strong can rule everything. Justice? That's just an excuse for the weak to comfort themselves!"

Bai Zhi watched Shi Yu's performance closely, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

She believed he could provide an unexpected answer. Bai Chengming looked at Shi Yu with a serious expression, his tone somewhat tense: "Shi Yu, I know you have a kind and upright heart, but now the situation is becoming increasingly complicated. He is an extremely cunning enemy, using you..."

It is inevitable that he will use relationships with others to achieve his own goals.

Shi Yu remained unaffected by Bai Chengming's warning words.

Bai Zhi clenched her fists nervously, knowing that what her father said was true.

She believed Shi Yu could protect her, but right now Shi Yu needed to deal with Chen Tong first. Shi Yu and Chen Tong stood on the fighting field, their eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

The crowd surrounded them, and the atmosphere became tense yet exciting.

Shi Yu clenched his fists and crouched slightly, preparing to meet Chen Tong's attack.

Chen Tong stared intently at him, a powerful aura emanating from him.

"Shi Yu, I won't show any mercy!" Chen Tong warned coldly, his words filled with hostility and cunning.

Shi Yu was not intimidated by Chen Tong's threats.

He had long kept his father Bai Chengming's teachings in mind and would never show weakness in front of this villain.

He gritted his teeth, conveying a sense of determination and resolve to Chen Tong through his eyes.

"I won't let you succeed!" Shi Yu replied, his voice full of confidence and determination.

As shouts of impending battle filled the arena, a chilling atmosphere descended upon it.

Chapter 615 This little guy seems to be extraordinary

Chen Tong slowly walked towards Shi Yu, his eyes fixed on him.

Every step he took exuded immense pressure, as if he wanted to crush Shi Yu to the ground.

Shi Yu sensed Chen Tong's imposing aura, steadied his mind, and focused his attention on the upcoming challenge.

"Come on!" Shi Yu roared, exerting all his strength as he swung his fist at Chen Tong.

Chen Tong sneered, dodged Shi Yu's attack, and then launched a flying kick at great speed, heading straight for Shi Yu.

Shi Yu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly raised his arm to block Chen Tong's attack. The collision between the two produced a dull thud.

Shi Yu dodged Chen Tong's heavy blows time and time again. His movements were agile and swift, and he was able to find an opportunity to counterattack each time he avoided an attack.

Despite facing Chen Tong's immense power, Shi Yu persevered through sheer grit.

Not far from the venue, Bai Zhi clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with worry and support.

Qin Feng stood beside Bai Zhi, his face indifferent but his eyes serious as he stared at Shi Yu, who was fighting.

A deep fire of jealousy and hatred rose within him.

He was used to being invincible, and there was almost no one in his family whom he could not defeat.

But the young, arrogant, outstanding man before him, who had no relation to him but had captured Bai Zhi's heart, brought him unprecedented challenges and pressure.

Chen Tong kept changing his attack methods, launching fierce and brutal attacks on Shi Yu.

Shi Yu tried his best to dodge, his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he did not back down in the slightest.

He threw himself into every defensive and counter-attack, determined to persevere despite being at a disadvantage.

The family members and disciples watching from the sidelines were amazed, and thunderous applause erupted.

No one expected Shi Yu to display such tenacity and courage.

Most of those present were older people who considered themselves geniuses (CGCA) in their youth, but they paled in comparison to this young man.

They sincerely admired Shi Yu's indomitable spirit.

"This little fellow seems to be extraordinary!" an older disciple exclaimed.

"Truly a genius! To be able to persevere under such circumstances and remain so calm and confident." A burly, imposing elder from the sect nodded in agreement. Shi Yu suddenly launched a swift counterattack, each punch and kick striking Chen Tong's vital points with pinpoint accuracy.

For a time, Chen Tong was repeatedly dealt heavy blows and suffered repeated defeats.

Shi Yu's fighting skills were so precise and ruthless, as if he had control over his enemy's every move.

How did this guy suddenly become so powerful? Qin Feng felt a surge of intense dissatisfaction and envy.

As the battle in front of him intensified, his jealousy and hatred towards Shi Yu grew stronger.

Bai Zhi clenched her hands nervously, her eyes fixed on the tenacious and brave figure on the battlefield.

She was drawn to Shi Yu's decisiveness and wisdom, and showed no sign of backing down even in the face of danger.

She vaguely sensed Shi Yu's strength and determination to persevere.

Shi Yu moved across the battlefield like a ghost, accurately dodging Chen Tong's unpredictable attacks and using his precise punches, kicks, and footwork to deliver merciless blows to his opponent.

Chapter 616 conceals a kind of persistence and determination

Each of his blows carried a heavy and powerful force, driving Chen Tong into a desperate situation.

Accompanied by the brutal sounds of fists and feet clashing, a tense and heavy atmosphere permeated the battlefield.

The hearts of the family members and disciples raced. They could see that Shi Yu was being strangled, but he still insisted on fighting on.

This indomitable spirit inspired everyone, and countless eyes were fixed on Shi Yu.
