Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1009: The Advanced Class is Starting School

Every time these two old guys got beat up, their injuries took a long time to heal. Bleeding, broken bones, and so on were not unusual. This indicated that these two had no real strength—they were just a pair of swindlers who mooched off others.

Now, these two old guys had brought up the topic of the advanced class again, which made Su Yang wonder, what secrets about the advanced class could they possibly know?

In fact, the majority of students at this school knew nothing about the advanced class. Even Zhao Jun didn’t know what the advanced class was all about; he only knew that his older brother had attended and graduated from here.

So, when these two old guys started talking about the advanced class, it naturally piqued Su Yang’s curiosity. After pondering for a moment, Su Yang finally decided to listen to what these two old guys had to say. After all, money was no object to Su Yang.

”Alright, I’ll make the exchange!” Su Yang promptly took out his meal card.

The eyes of the two old guys lit up immediately. Yuan Tiangang snatched the meal card from Su Yang’s hand and passed it to Wu Daozi beside him: ”Go get some food!”

Wu Daozi ran off quickly, as if afraid Su Yang would change his mind, not giving Su Yang a chance to stop him.

Su Yang was used to these two, and besides, he was just scaring them a bit—he never really intended to cut off their meal supply.

”Now you can talk...” Su Yang said.

Yuan Tiangang immediately began patting his chest: ”Of course, I’ve always been a man of my word, famously known as the honest and reliable young gentleman. Since I’ve agreed to make an exchange, I’ll certainly tell you. It makes no sense to tell you without agreeing, nor to agree and then not tell you...”

”Stop, stop, stop! Don’t babble about such nonsense, just get to the point,” Su Yang quickly interrupted him; if he didn’t, who knew when this old guy would stop talking.

Yuan Tiangang chuckled, and after seeing Wu Daozi swipe the meal card, he finally relaxed and said with a smile: ”The advanced class, that’s the class you all will have to attend in the future. If you can’t get into the advanced class, then you’ll have to leave school early. So, you had better work hard!”

”That’s it?” Su Yang’s eyes widened. This was just a scam, what kind of secret was that?

”Yes!” Yuan Tiangang declared: ”This is a secret of the advanced class that I don’t tell just anyone.”

Su Yang stared at the two of them, his eyes nearly bursting into flames. These two old lamps, why did he even bother believing them in his free time? They were nothing but two shameless old men. They made it all mysterious, only to reveal such a triviality. This was sheer deception!

Su Yang thought these two had brought up the advanced class and assumed they would reveal some secrets, but instead, he got a load of rubbish.

Even though the money on the meal card was trivial, who could stand being cheated like this?

Su Yang waved his hand dismissively: ”Enough, enough, enough. From now on, I think we should just mind our own business. Don’t talk to me about any secrets, and I won’t arrange meals for you two anymore.”

Wu Daozi came over with two large plated and, upon hearing this, immediately panicked: ”Hey, Student Su, we were having a nice chat, why get angry all of a sudden? Respecting teachers and valuing the teachings is a traditional virtue; by acting like this, you’re not showing enough respect. If there’s an issue, let’s discuss it calmly, why get angry? Old Yuan, what exactly did you tell Student Su, for things to turn out like this?”

Yuan Tiangang was also extremely flustered, as he and his companion had been mooching off Su Yang for food and drink recently, leading a carefree life every day. If Su Yang decided to ignore them, where would they go for their meals?

”Don’t you think this secret is enough?” Yuan Tiangang hurriedly said, ”Or should I tell you another secret?”

”No, I don’t want to listen anymore. Whatever you say now, I don’t want to hear it. That’s it, I’m leaving now!” Su Yang waved his hand, indicating he did not want to listen to any more nonsense from the two men.

They exchanged a glance and made a gesture to each other, Wu Daozi suddenly grabbed Su Yang’s arm, ”Student Su, do you know that the advanced class is starting tomorrow?”

Su Yang’s heart stirred, he hadn’t known about this, and this secret was indeed valuable.

Recently, not only had Su Yang been studying that formation, but he had also been investigating the advanced class. However, he had heard nothing at all, not even knowing when the advanced class would start.

Nevertheless, Su Yang kept a nonchalant facade. He knew these two old fellows well; if he appeared too eager, they would definitely think they had a hold on him and would start making all sorts of demands. By acting indifferent, the two would panic and might disclose some more important information in exchange for Su Yang’s trust.

”So what!” Su Yang still wanted to leave, ”Whether they start classes or not, what’s that got to do with me?”

”How can it not concern you!” Yuan Tiangang hastily said, ”Last time at your gala, you completely overshadowed Lin Dong’s event, which was akin to slapping the face of all the young nobles in Capital City. There’s already talk within the circle of the Capital’s young nobles that once school starts, they plan to target you first, to quell your arrogance!”

”You mean, they’re planning to come after me?” Su Yang asked back.

”What else could it mean!” Yuan Tiangang glared, ”Qinghe Academy in Capital City attracts members from large families outside the city who come to study here every year. Regardless of how powerful these families are, they generally pay respects to the young nobles of Capital City and everything is peaceful. But you’ve trampled Lin Dong far too harshly, and the nobles of Capital are bound to make an example of you to recover their prestige. Otherwise, wouldn’t that imply Capital City has no one capable?”

”Heh...” Su Yang sneered, ”Lin Dong had no skill and got trampled by me, now they want to trample me. Hmph, it seems the nobles of Capital don’t speak any reason at all!”

Wu Daozi said, ”Nonsense, when do those nobles ever reason things out? Besides, now that you’re at Qinghe Academy, it’s all about personal ability. Do you still plan on convincing them otherwise?”

Su Yang took a deep breath; in truth, he had not intended to clash with the nobles of Capital. However, if these people were really out to target him, he wouldn’t mind defeating them.

Of course, Su Yang was also well aware of his limitations. Unless absolutely necessary, he did not plan on provoking the Capital’s Martial Champion. Su Yang was very clear that his current strength was definitely no match for the Martial Champion.

Even the Beigong War God was probably much stronger than Su Yang.

After all, according to what Lian Wanxiong said, before Qi Zhishan sat in withered meditation, his strength was not even on par with the Beigong War God. Even after seventeen years of withered meditation, Qi Zhishan’s strength had not progressed an inch, yet he was still above Su Yang.

The Beigong War God surely wouldn’t have remained stagnant over these seventeen years, so just how strong the Beigong War God was now, was hard to say.

And how fearsome must the Martial Champion, who was even above the Beigong War God, be?
