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

Under the watchful eye of a grandmaster, any subtle sound transmission or clandestine movement could lead to failure.

A play must be performed in its entirety.

Moreover, it must be so realistic that even a grandmaster would believe it.

Su Yu took a deep breath.

This seemingly ordinary breath triggered a violent coughing fit in him.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"

He clutched his chest, his pale face flushed with a sickly red from the violent coughing.

His body swayed precariously, as if he might collapse like a piece of dead wood at any moment.

But he still extended a hand.

It gently rested on Lin Xiaoxiao's slender shoulders.

"Student Lin."

Su Yu's voice was terribly hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against each other.

"Get out of the way."

Lin Xiaoxiao trembled and turned her head sharply.

Looking at Su Yu, who was so weak that even standing required all his strength, her eyes instantly reddened.

"Are you crazy?!"

Lin Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip hard, her voice filled with barely concealed sobs and anger.

"Don't you know what kind of state you've become?!"

"You probably can't even beat an average person right now, so what makes you think you can fight that bastard?"

"Get out of here! I'll handle the rest!"

As the daughter of a top-tier family, Lin Xiaoxiao has countless ways to kill Zhao Ze afterward.

She even made a fierce vow in her heart that as long as Su Yu could walk off the stage alive today.

Tonight, Zhao Ze will completely vanish from Jiangcheng!

If I had known that this guy surnamed Zhao was so disgusting, I should have sent someone to smother him in the sewer three days ago!

however.

Su Yu did not back down.

He applied a little pressure with the hand that was resting on Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder.

He gently pushed her aside an inch.

then.

Su Yu looked past Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder, past the furious Zhao Tianxiong, and past Zhao Ze, who was kneeling on the ground with a ferocious expression.

It landed directly on Grandmaster Lei Potian.

The arena was deathly silent.

All eyes of the 100,000 people in the audience were focused on this ordinary top scorer who seemed on the verge of sudden death.

"President Lei."

Su Yu spoke up.

The sound was soft and intermittent, yet it echoed clearly in the deathly silent stadium.

"Director Zhao just said... that the competition should continue."

Su Yu was panting heavily, as if he was enduring immense pain with every word he spoke.

"I'd like to ask for your opinion."

"If I agree to continue."

"Does this match still count?"

Lei Potian looked down at Su Yu.

A hint of extreme surprise flashed in those weathered tiger eyes.

He thought Su Yu would take the opportunity to step down.

After all, it's already a miracle that one's life was spared.

Are you sure?

Lei Potian frowned, his voice booming like a great bell, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Young man, I can see your current state very clearly."

"Depletion of Qi and blood, and damage to the meridians."

"You're not even as good as an ordinary person."

"If you continue the match, you might not even have a chance to admit defeat; you'll be beaten to death on the spot!"

"Besides, you've already won."

"Even if there are problems, they are my problems, you don't need to worry about them."

Lei Potian was clearly telling Su Yu not to act impulsively.

The fall of a genius was the last thing he wanted to see.

But Su Yu could only manage a very weak twitch of his lips.

"I see."

Su Yu nodded.

then.

He raised his dim eyes and looked directly at Lei Potian.

He asked a question that sent chills down the spines of the entire audience of 100,000 people, causing their brains to completely shut down.

"President Lei."

"I just wanted to confirm the rules."

Su Yu's voice was very soft.

"If... in the next match."

"I accidentally killed my opponent."

"It's not illegal, is it?"

boom!

These words were like a bombshell dropped on the entire combat training hall!

Everyone thought they had misheard!

Utter silence!

You could hear a pin drop clearly!

A few seconds later.

A collective gasp erupted from the stands!

"He's insane! This kid is absolutely insane!"

"Who does he think he is? Possessed by a grandmaster?"

"A cripple who can't even stand up is asking whether murderers are breaking the law?"

"This is absolutely a case of someone being driven insane by shock!"

Lei Potian was also stunned.

He was a grandmaster who had roamed the wilderness for decades. What arrogant juniors hadn't he seen?

But someone like Su Yu, who already has one foot in the grave, still dares to casually ask such a question in front of him.

This is the first time ever!

Lei Potian looked Su Yu up and down carefully.

He tried to find a flaw in Su Yu's bluff in his eyes.

but.

Although those eyes were dim, they were as deep as a dry well.

The ancient well was still.

There was no fear, no despair, not even awe of death.

There was only one kind of pure, breathtaking tranquility!

"Your condition..."

Lei Potian inwardly gasped.

"He actually thought about killing someone???"

He was actually somewhat disdainful inside.

They felt that Su Yu simply couldn't do it.

How can a martial artist whose qi and blood have plummeted and who is seriously injured kill a martial arts student with 10.3 qi and blood who is proficient in Xuan-level martial arts techniques?

Should you bang your head against it?

At the same time, Lei Potian secretly gave Su Yu a higher opinion of him.

That's a really good idea.

That's ruthless!

He's ruthless not only to others, but even more ruthless to himself!

Even as an outsider, he could clearly see the deep-seated grudge between the two; it was a fight to the death.

but.

Lei Potian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Let's not even talk about whether you can actually kill someone in this state.

I'm standing right here!

With a Grandmaster as the referee, how are you going to kill him?!

Do you think my 100,000 units of vital energy are just for show?!

"It's not illegal."

Lei Potian snapped out of his thoughts and coldly uttered three words.

"In martial arts combat, on the ring, life and death are irrelevant."

"This is the ironclad rule of the Great Xia Kingdom."

"As long as the other party doesn't yell 'I give up' or fall to the ground and get up."

"Neither party shall bear legal responsibility for killing him."

Lei Potian looked at Su Yu and added a sentence in an extremely serious tone.

"The premise is that you have the ability."

the other side.

Zhao Ze, kneeling on the ground, was completely stunned.

He stared at Su Yu with his mouth agape, like an idiot.

My head was buzzing.

Kill me?

He wanted to kill me?!

After a brief moment of surprise.

A sense of utter absurdity and ridiculousness instantly welled up in Zhao Ze's mind.

He wanted to laugh.

But he held it in so tightly that his face was contorted and his shoulders were shaking violently.

"Haha...hahaha!"

Zhao Ze finally couldn't hold back any longer and burst into an extremely wild, even somewhat neurotic, laugh.

"Kill me? With the state you're in now?!"

Zhao Ze got up from the ground, pointed at Su Yu, and laughed until tears almost came out.

"Su Yu, have you lost your mind because of the backlash?"

"You think you can fly just because you used some damn forbidden technique to scare me?"

"One more time?"

Zhao Ze gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a venomous and cruel light.

"Who killed whom, I honestly have no idea!!!"

And beside Zhao Ze.

Zhao Tianxiong was also dumbfounded.

But he was a seasoned veteran, much more cunning and shrewd.

He stared intently at Su Yu's pale face, his mind racing with calculations.
