On Su Yu's side.
Above the ruins.
The night wind whipped up gusts of dust.
Su Yu strolled leisurely through the broken rock formations and huge gullies.
His movements were skillful.
He searched the corpses, rummaged for equipment, and gathered up the wealth.
In a short while.
He returned to the location of the original auction platform, which had been blasted into a huge pit.
With a thought,
All his gains in the storage ring were instantly counted.
First of all, it was cash.
From the Dark Web Treasury and the storage rings of those Cardinals, Su Yu had looted a huge amount of Dragon Coins in cash.
All in all,
The total amount reached an astonishing 12 trillion!
If you also counted the more than 2 trillion he had originally obtained from the auction,
At this moment, the available funds on Su Yu had soared to the terrifying figure of 14 trillion!
14 trillion!
This was definitely an astronomical figure that could make the Ministry of Finance of the Great Xia Kingdom tremble.
It was enough for him to double his strength again!
Secondly.
It was resources.
Apart from the mountains of high - level materials and Sky - Tier cultivation techniques in the Dark Web Treasury,
What really surprised Su Yu were the Demon Cores!
A total of six!
Demon Saint - level Demon Cores emitting a strong fluctuation of the Abyssal origin power!
Three of them, of course, were left by those three unlucky Abyssal Demon Saints.
And the other three.
Were extracted from the corpses of those three Cardinals.
These human traitors, in order to pursue power, had long been completely infected and assimilated by the Abyssal aura.
In a sense, they could no longer be considered human beings, but a part of the Abyssal Demon Race.
They also had Demon Cores condensed in their bodies.
"I've struck it rich,"
A glint of satisfaction flashed in Su Yu's deep eyes.
This time, not only had he eliminated the cancer of the Dark Web, but he had also made a fortune on the side.
It was simply perfect.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Just then.
A fit of violent coughing came from the ruins not far away.
Huo Zhenshan climbed out of the deep pit, looking disheveled and dirty.
The prestigious Nation - Guarding Martial Saint was now as disheveled as a miner who had just crawled out of a coal mine.
His battle armor was broken, and his body was covered in blood.
His aura was extremely weak.
But his eyes were fixed firmly on Su Yu, who was playing with the Demon Cores.
That look was as if he had seen some indescribable monster.
"You..."
Huo Zhenshan swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva with difficulty.
His voice was trembling.
"You kid..."
"What on earth is going on with you?!"
Huo Zhenshan finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He felt that if he didn't ask the questions that had been gnawing at him, he would suffocate himself to death!
A few days ago.
On the outskirts of Jingwu, when this kid faced off against the Abyssal Demon Saint,
His surging blood qi was only 9 million!
He was at the peak of the Martial Spirit realm!
Although his combat power was astonishing, his cultivation level was indeed at the Martial Spirit realm!
But what about today?!!
When he had just withstood the aftershock of the Demon Emperor's blow, the blood qi fluctuation that accidentally leaked from his body.
It definitely exceeded 100 million!
He was a genuine Martial Emperor realm expert!
Moreover.
His single spear strike just now had even demonstrated a terrifying combat power capable of instantly killing four Saint - level experts!
Was this something a Martial Emperor could do?!
"Have you been hiding your cultivation all along?!"
Huo Zhenshan widened his eyes and stared fixedly at Su Yu.
"You actually broke through to the Martial Emperor realm a long time ago, right?!"
"Even... you're not a Martial Emperor at all. You're a Martial God?!"
Facing Huo Zhenshan's rapid - fire questions,
Su Yu put the six Demon Cores into his storage ring.
He turned his head and looked at the miserable - looking Huo Zhenshan.
His tone was calm.
"If I said that I just broke through yesterday.
"From 9 million blood qi to 100 million.
"Would you believe me?"
The air.
Suddenly fell silent.
Huo Zhenshan was stunned.
He stared blankly at Su Yu's cold and hard face, trying to find a trace of joking on it.
But there was none.
Su Yu's eyes were so sincere that it was almost unbelievable.
"You're talking nonsense!!!"
A few seconds later.
Huo Zhenshan completely lost his composure. He roared at the top of his lungs, not even caring about the injury on his chest that was being tugged at.
"Just broke through yesterday?!"
"Soared from 9 million to 100 million directly?!"
"Do you think I'm a three - year - old kid?!"
Huo Zhenshan was so angry that his beard and eyes were bulging.
In martial arts cultivation, the further you advanced, the more difficult it became!
From the Martial Spirit to the Martial King realm, it was like an insurmountable natural barrier!
One needed to consume countless resources and undergo long - term refinement to barely make the leap.
Not to mention the leap from the Martial King to the Martial Emperor realm!
That was a leap from the millions - level to over 100 million level!
You're telling me you just broke through yesterday and now you have 100 million blood qi?!!
Did your blood qi go up on a rocket?!!
"You kid, you must have been hiding your cultivation deliberately,"
Huo Zhenshan snorted coldly, with an expression of "I've seen through you".
"Deliberately pretending to be at the Martial Spirit realm to deceive the country's resources!"
"Even I've been fooled by you!"
"What on earth is your real name?!!"
Huo Zhenshan stared fixedly at Su Yu.
"Don't use the fake name 'Su Yuan' to fool me!"
"I want to know right now what kind of big shot you are!"
Su Yu looked at Huo Zhenshan's determined expression.
He let out a soft sigh.
After thinking for a while.
Indeed, with his current strength,
He was comparable to a Martial God in normal times, and could even go head - to - head with a Demon Emperor when using all his trump cards.
In this world, there was no longer any power that could threaten his life.
There was really no need to hide anymore.
"Alright,"
Su Yu nodded.
"Since you want to know,
"Then let me introduce myself again."
Weng -!
With a thought,
Su Yu instantly dispelled the Great Perfection - level "Myriad Forms Concealment Technique".
The bones and muscles on his face began to wriggle in a strange way.
The cold and weather - beaten face of a young man quickly faded away.
What replaced it was a somewhat immature face, but with an unparalleled depth and calmness.
An 18 - year - old.
A freshman.
Su Yu.
"A freshman at Jingwu,"
"Su Yu."
Su Yu looked at Huo Zhenshan and calmly reported his name.
Huo Zhenshan was stunned.
He looked at this suddenly overly - young face in front of him.
His mind went blank for a moment.
Su Yu?
He had never heard of any Martial God or Martial Saint named Su Yu in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Wait.
This name...
Why did it sound so familiar?
Huo Zhenshan frowned and frantically searched his memory for information about the name "Su Yu".
Suddenly.
His whole body trembled violently.
His pair of cloudy old eyes instantly widened to the size of saucers!
"Su Yu?!!"
"You... You're that genius freshman who comprehended the Form - Transformation Spear Intent by the Weiming Lake on the first day of school at Jingwu?!"
A few days ago, this kid's name had been spreading like wildfire among the high - level military officials.
Nie Changkong had even treated him like a precious treasure and kept him close.
Su Yu nodded.
"Yes."
"It's me."
Silence.
Dead silence.
In the ruins, only the whistling of the night wind could be heard.
Huo Zhenshan stared fixedly at Su Yu's face.
For a full half - minute.
Then.
"Get out of here!!!"
Huo Zhenshan let out a hysterical roar, and even sprayed out spittle.
"Who are you kidding?!"
"How many days has it been since the start of school at Jingwu?!!"
"At most, it's been less than a week!"
"How old are you anyway?!"
